Charolais Journal - September 2012

Not Just a Bull...

A Complete Program — THE CARCASS CATTLE COMPANY

Dinklage Feedyards of Sidney, Nebraska feeds over 22,000 head of cattle, 60% are Charolais influened calves, the majority of these cattle are owned by Eaton Charolais or Eaton bull customers who retain interest in their cattle...for a good reason!

PROVEN PERFORMANCE & PROFIT

"In order to market & profit on a grid, information is paramount. Eaton genetics gain packer confidence with their feeding history spanning decades & proven carcass data. Eaton influenced cattle earned $2-$4 more per hundred weight on the grid than cattle selling live. Not to be overshadowed by their performance on the rail, Eaton crossed cattle also perform on feed, with conversions in the 5.4 to 6.0 range. There is money to be made when reputable genetics perform across the board."

Tim Peetz, MANAGER, DINKLAGE FEEDYARDS OF SIDNEY, NE

74 Bred Sires are listed in the 2012 Sire Summary ALL WITH CARCASS EPDS

Quality Bulls You Can Count On...

In Quantity! ¥In the cattle business, the emphasis

Fertile

should be on business and with today’s high corn prices it is important that the money we make is with cattle that perform on grass. We are a forage based operation. Our calves are not creep fed and are raised on grass.

159 two-year-old bulls for sale at a reasonable price. All of our bulls are guaranteed TB, Trichinosis, and Bangs free and semen tested.

Under our family’s 4 brands we buy High Weaning over 135,000 head of stocker cattle in Weight the Southeast annually. We buy your calves at your local market. We know what your buyers want because we are one of them.

Our cattle are well adapted to your area because they were raised less than 100 miles for the Gulf of Mexico on grass. They will not fall apart.

44 of the Charolais breed’s Top 50 bulls for Total Maternal are Rogers Bar HR bred.

Rogers Bar HR bulls have won more BIF guideline central tests than any Calving herd in the nation! We hold the rate of gain record for both MS and FL. Ease

VIEWPOINT

CHAROLAIS Beef Quality Audit Who knew how important it would be?

As you probably know by now, the 2011 version of the National Beef Quality Audit

(NBQA) has been released. The audit, conducted every five years, began as an industry assessment targeting a particular set of problems. From the beginning, the initiative was championed by a few individuals representing specific industry segments experiencing the problems.

Injection sites and drug residues had become a real problem. The problems were not the result of negligence, but simply following accepted practices. What happened after an initial contact from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to a few feedlots in the Texas Panhandle seems rather benign today. However, those letters served as a wake-up call. Those feedlots and their veterinarians began a remarkable process of discovery leading to the realization that something more foundational, science based and backed by a force that could influence broad change was necessary.

Through the years, under the research and guidance of beef quality audits, the policies and procedures have, in part, contributed to a value based marketing system that truly rewards better management and healthier cattle. As an industry, we’ve improved genetics and now have the potential to produce a consistently higher valued end product. BQA has provided a process to address injection site blemishes, too much fat, hide problems related to branding, safe handling, animal welfare and a host of other costly industry issues.

The most recent audit takes yet another giant leap forward by even more closely connecting beef production to the consumer. Incorporating the information set forth in the beef quality audits is and always has been voluntary. NCBA’s Beef Quality Assurance program is voluntary.

Tom Field, director of the Engler Agribusiness Entrepreneurship Program at the University of Nebraska recently said, “Our industry will take this information

BQA...provides best practice guidelines leading to better management, increased profitability and heightened consumer confidence.”

The first NBQA, released in 1991, set forth an assessment of the problems, but more importantly, a process for remedying the problems—solutions. As with every audit released since 1991, the solutions proposed are comprehensive and are specific to every segment of beef production.

The audits have led to the development of Beef Quality Assurance (BQA), a national program that provides guidelines for beef cattle production. BQA, under the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association auspices, provides best practice guidelines leading to better management, increased profitability and heightened consumer confidence.

At their simplest, the National Beef Quality Audits have served as a road map for product improvement. However, standing back and truly realizing the value of the road map is almost incalculable. For instance, before NBQA and BQA, the beef industry, as a best practice model, did not follow a structured pre- or postweaning health protocol. Sure, many progressive producers had some type of preweaning or postweaning health procedure. But, since all cattle were sold on a cash basis, and since there was no paper trail to accompany calves selling, there was no differentiation or added value for healthier calves. Many producers simply determined the increased input costs provided insufficient return.

and make significant changes in the way it views delivery of product, integrity, eating satisfaction and telling the story in a more proactive way.” Field went on to say, “We either get it right or watch cow numbers slide. As cow numbers slide, there are undesirable consequences that ripple across our industry, related industries and through our society.”

Dr. Dan Thomson, MS, PhD, DVM, Kansas State University, like most all of the beef industry opinion leaders, also sees the broader, far-reaching rewards of using this important information to improve our product, increase the potential for profitability and improve our credibility with the consumer. “BQA started out as the quality assurance of beef products and has evolved into the assurance of quality beef for the consumer.”

Food animal production has taken center stage in our society. Every single nuance of our meat animal protein delivery system is under scrutiny. Laying hen crates to gestation stalls to confinement feeding are merely the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Consumers with little or no connection to agriculture are being persuaded by misinformation by those motivated to dismantle an incredibly efficient and sustainable system. If we don’t use the resources available to communicate the benefits of our own agricultural society, inform the consumer with factual information and deliver a safe, consistent product everyday, who will?

GeneSeek Parentage and 50k genomic testing

This month, AICA will begin doing parentage and 50k

genomic testing at GeneSeek Laboratories in Lincoln, Nebraska. AICA’s board voted to begin genomic testing at the board meeting held in March of 2012.

Many of the procedures regarding the testing kits and sample submission forms will remain the same.

Breeders must still request a tail hair kit from AICA. The kit will be specific to the animal, when you call requesting the kit make sure to have the registration number or calf ID numbers available. The sample required is still tail hair, but semen will also be acceptable.

AICA is offering 3 different tests: •50k Genotyping - $85 •Parentage only - $40 •Horned/Polled - $55 (doesn’t include parentage or 50k) AICA’s historical DNA records from the University of California at Davis will be transferred to GeneSeek, there is no requirement to re-do any parent animals that have DNA already on file. The DNA records from UC Davis are now part of the database at GeneSeek and will be used in parentage cases. This does not however mean the animals done at UC Davis have a 50K genotype on file. Testing for the 50k genotype is a separate test and must be done at GeneSeek.

Breeders that have DNA kits with UC Davis information on them need to contact AICA for a new kit.

Please count on a 10 day turnaround time for parentage results. The process is the same as with UC Davis, the results are sent to the Association; we bill the breeder for the test and send the results to the breeder.

Do not send payment for the testing to GeneSeek, all payment comes to AICA as you will be billed through our system.

While AICA does not require the 50K Genotype it is requesting breeders choose this option for A.I. Sires and Donor dams to assist AICA in building a genomic database. This will move AICA forward researching the feasibility of including genomic tests in future AICA genetic evaluations.

Reminders: •AI bulls and donor cows must have a record on file before they can be used as a parent.

•Parent animals that had a record at UC Davis have a record at GeneSeek. They do not need to be re-tested for parentage.

•Count on 10 working days for results.

The Most Powerful Tool to target commercial Charolais markets.

Cut Costs with Alternative Feeds

By Heather Smith Thomas

When traditional feeds are in short supply or expensive, stockmen often consider alternatives. There are a number of non-traditional feeds that can be used, and a growing number of producers are becoming innovative in utilizing the resources in their own region. Chris and Robert Bianchi raise registered and commercial cattle (mainly Charolais) in Gilroy California.

They are making use of bell peppers during the summer months from June through October, and waste barley (brewers grain) year round.

“We get some peppers that are locally processed (midsummer), but others we get from as far away as Bakersfield.

Some are just the cores and stems. One of the pepper processing plants hauls the cores and stems to us, to get rid of them. The peppers we get in June are whole (the culls), and we pick them up from a couple different places. These processing plants are within 3 miles from where we summer our cows, so it’s a short haul,” says Chris.

The cattle readily eat the peppers. “Early in the season it’s green peppers, but later we get some reds and yellows. Those must be a little sweeter because the cattle will eat the yellows, the reds, and then the greens,” she explains.

The brewers grain (from beer-making) they pick up in 40 to 50 gallon barrels. Most of it comes from San Jose—about a half hour drive. “We pick up barley from about 5 breweries, and get about 15 to 18 barrels at a time,” Chris says.

There are a number of non-traditional feeds that can be used, and a growing number of producers are becoming innovative in utilizing the resources in their own region.

When feeding peppers they use a truck and two trailers.

“The truck puts them out in a row behind it, such as on top of a hay windrow. It’s an old feed truck we modified to feed out the back instead of out the side. The trailers dump, and we spread the peppers in small piles out on the pasture,” she says.

50 

S E P T E M B E R 2012

The barley is fed to bulls. “We feed some to our older herd bulls during summer as a supplement. This year we have a lot of young bulls we are backgrounding so we feed them barley in feeders,” says Chris.

Their ranch operation has been using barley for about 15 years. The breweries need to get rid of it after they’ve processed the grain. “It’s wet and heavy and would be a major disposal problem so they are happy that we take it. We’ve been feeding the bell peppers about 7 years,” she says.

She and Robert run 450 cows, some of them purebred Charolais, Hereford and Red Angus, and about 300 commercial cows—and feed the peppers to the commercial cows. They started feeding peppers because the plant managers needed to get rid of them. “Years ago there were more dairies in the area and some of them used the cull peppers. My father-in-law used to have a diary and he fed a lot of cull lettuce, etc. Now the vegetable processors don’t have the dairies to take these.

We’ve never fed lettuce or garlic but we have a neighbor who feeds a lot of garlic peels. They dump it out in the pasture, and the cows eat those really well,” she says.

“We started using the peppers to help stretch our pastures farther. Anything we can do to cheapen our feed expenses is a big help. The pastures where we feed the peppers is planted to winter forage (a seed mixture that contains wheat, oats and barley). We plant this in late fall and then we cut and windrow it for the cattle in May or early June. The peppers are fed with that—so the cows have a lot of roughage to go along with the peppers which are very moist and palatable.”

A nearby producer feeds artichokes, and the cows really like those, too.

Other producers have fed cull almonds, carrots, and almost anything that has food value for the cattle. “Dairies have fed these by-products for a long time, but it’s more of a new thing for beef producers. The dairies have feed mangers and can put these various feedstuffs in their mixer truck,” says Chris.

CHAROLAIS JOURNAL

The Bianchi cattle run on about 6000 acres in the foothills, and the bull calves run in the hills with their mothers. “We winter them in the hills, and seldom get snow. The cattle graze through most of the winter. The peppers help stretch those pastures,” she explains.

The barley is not high protein, but enough to be a good supplement for the older bulls and keep them in good shape without having the expense of feeding a grain product. The only expense is hauling it home, and the time involved.

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX - There are a number of nontraditional feeds that can be used for beef cattle, according to David Bohnert, Beef Extension Specialist and Ruminant Nutritionist, Oregon State University. The biggest factor in whether or not an alternative feed is feasible is how far it has to be hauled.

“Some of the common alternative feeds in our region include grass seed straw, distillers grains (which have been shown to be a good energy/protein supplement), and cornstalks. The cornstalks can be grazed, and some people bale them—to transport them to where they must be fed—but there is a lot of waste with baled cornstalks. Cull onions, turnips, potatoes, carrots, dry beans and other vegetables are available in some areas. Vegetable waste from food processing can be useful, depending on where you are located and how you might feed it,” he says.

Bakery waste and other foods can sometimes be added into cattle rations if you’re near a bread-making factory, or a manufacturer of cookies or candy bars. “Food companies have to get rid of cull products occasionally and stockmen have fed these. You have to be careful how much you feed, and balance the diet appropriately, but these are all things that can be utilized. A nutritionist here in Oregon once created a ration using cherry pies, candy bars, and corn flakes as part of the energy base, and the cattle did fine on it,” says Bohnert.

“When looking at possibilities, we need to think outside the box. A beef cow has the advantage of a large rumen. As long as there are no toxins in feeds, rumen microbes can ferment and use nearly anything as a source of energy or protein. If a product is fed in appropriate amounts—and not so much that it might cause digestive distress—it can work.

We can take advantage of the ruminant’s ability to digest just about anything. Cattle are also wonderful harvesters of low-quality forages that otherwise would never get used, but these often need to be supplemented with protein and/or energy,” he says.

“There are numerous things that can be fed. Some of the liquid (“syrup”) from distillers grains, or from making alcohol, can be useful if you figure out a way to feed it. One producer used old bathtubs. Just because you haven’t done it in the past doesn’t mean it can’t be done.” There are ways to use nearly any kind of feedstuff if you are creative.

“Alternative feeds can help lower feed costs. The main thing that limits their use is location; you must be fairly close to where they are produced or it will cost too much to transport them to your place, especially the ones that have high moisture content like cull potatoes or onions. Otherwise you are paying a lot for hauling water,” he says.

MAKE SURE IT’S COST EFFECTIVE AND NUTRITIONALLY ADEQUATE – During drought, cattle producers often have to be innovative to try to match feed needs with what might be available. Glenn Nader, Extension Livestock and Natural Resources Adviser in California (Butte, Sutter and Yuba counties), says many stockmen in his area have been using rice straw, since there’s a lot of rice produced locally. It’s a low quality feed, but there’s a wide variability in forage quality and in some instances it can work if used in conjunction with a good protein source.

“Protein level in rice straw is related to how much nitrogen the farmer applies. Protein content can vary from as low as 2% to as high as almost 8%. Test the stack before you buy it, or at least talk with the grower to find out how much the crop was fertilized. If it was on the high end of fertilization, or fertilized late, you can anticipate more protein in the straw.

Dry cows need 7 to 8% protein; a high quality rice straw might be adequate but anything less will need supplementation,” he says.

“The other variation in this type of straw is acid detergent fiber (ADF). This type of analysis is our cheapest way of looking at digestibility; the higher the number, the worse it

Injection Techniques –

Routes of Administration

By Heather Smith Thomas

Fsemi-annual all is often a time of working cattle—giving pre-weaning vaccinations to calves, vaccines to cows, etc. An occasional animal may also need to be treated for foot rot, pinkeye or a respiratory disease. Knowing how to administer injectable products (proper dosage and location), is crucial for optimum efficacy and for animal safety.

INTRAMUSCULAR INJECTIONS – IM injections require a needle long enough to go deep into muscle. For an adult animal use a needle at least 1.5 inches long--and 2 inches is better. Use a 16-gauge needle--large enough to go through a cow’s thick skin without bending or breaking. Anything larger than 16 has more risk for tissue damage and leakage. For a calf use a smaller needle; 18 gauge, 1 to 1.5 inches long, works best.

The biggest mistake people make when vaccinating, especially when running a lot of cattle through the chute, is not taking time to do a good job. This may result in some animals not being adequately vaccinated (some of the product leaks out), and increases risk of tissue damage, abscesses, and reactions. To reduce leakage, keep the needle inserted for at least 2 seconds after the injection before removing it from the muscle.

Another way to prevent leakage is to pull the skin taut across the injection site with one hand while you inject with the other, then release the skin after you remove the needle. The skin then moves over the hole and closes it. You can also rub the injection site briefly, to help distribute the product within the muscle and reduce pressure so it’s less apt to ooze back out.

When using a trigger-type syringe for IM shots, thrust the needle into muscle and pull the trigger. When using a smaller or disposable syringe, detach the needle and press your hand firmly against the skin to desensitize the site so the animal won’t jump when you insert the needle. Then thrust it in quickly and forcefully. A new, sharp needle goes in easier and causes less pain and damage than a dull one.

If the animal jumps, wait until she settles down before attaching the syringe to the inserted needle and giving the injection. If the needle starts to ooze blood, take it out and try a different spot. Never inject intramuscular products into a blood vessel.

SUBCUTANEOUS INJECTIONS – Originally, SubQ injections were used because a particular product was irritating to muscle tissue or designed for slower rate of absorption. Today, due to concerns about carcass quality (avoiding IM shots, where possible) more injectables are approved for subcutaneous use. When you have a choice, according to label directions, inject under the skin rather than into muscle.

IM shots are more likely to develop a serious abscess if a needle is dirty. Infection introduced by a SubQ shot is merely beneath the skin and an abscess more readily breaks open to drain.

For a SubQ injection, lift a fold of skin on neck or shoulder where skin is loosest, and slip the needle in between skin and muscle. If using a trigger-type syringe, aim it alongside the animal so the needle goes under the skin and not into muscle. For a small calf, it may be easiest to give a SubQ injection under the loose skin of the shoulder, and if there’s a local reaction it won’t make his neck sore (which may hinder nursing).

Giving injections SubQ rather than IM allows you to use a shorter needle (¾ 54 

S E P T E M B E R 2012

inch if using a trigger type syringe, or up to 1 inch if using both hands to tent the skin and slip the needle underneath) so it’s less likely to bend or break. In the confined space of some chutes, insert the needle at an angle so you can use a one-handed technique with a syringe gun, rather than both hands to tent the skin. There’s less risk of getting your hand jammed between the animal and the chute or accidentally hitting yourself with the needle.

Some of the new antibiotics can be injected subcutaneously at the back of the ear. This is a way to avoid tissue reactions, scarring and other problems than could affect the carcass. The animal must be adequately restrained to minimize risk of going too deep or accidentally injecting into a vein.

INTRAVENOUS INJECTIONS – Some medications are more effective (acting faster and more readily absorbed) if given IV. Some are irritating to muscle tissue and must be given IV. These injections must be done properly. Chances for problems are greater, as is the speed with which a serious problem may develop, so you must know which products can be given IV (follow label directions). Large volumes of fluid or medications given too swiftly can put too much load on the heart, and some drugs speed up the heart. Heart rate should be monitored when giving fluids or certain IV medications, and rate of administration adjusted accordingly.

Any large vein will work for an IV injection, including the large veins under the tail, the big milk vein ahead of the udder on a lactating cow, or the jugular vein on either side of the neck (in the groove above windpipe and esophagus). A large needle (at least 16 gauge and 2 inches long or longer) works best for adults.

Needles must be sterile. The animal must be restrained. If using the jugular vein, press on it with fingers or fist to build up pressure (between your hand and the animal’s head) so the vein stands up and is easier to inject. Still pressing on the vein, insert the needle at a point between your hand and the animal’s head, then move the needle a little forward (inside the vein) parallel with the neck. If blood flows freely from the needle, it’s in the vein. You can then attach your syringe (or tubing, if giving fluid).

The most common problem is pushing the needle too far, clear through the vein. Sometimes the animal moves and the needle slips out of the vein. Don’t assume it’s in the vein just because you see blood. Blood will flow rapidly and steadily from the needle if it’s actually in the vein. Make sure the needle stays in the vein when you give the injection. Some products can cause severe irritation and stress (and sometimes death) if they leak into the tissues around the vein. If the needle slips out of the vein while giving fluid, tissues around the vein start to swell.

Take it out and start over. If giving fluid, it’s best to use an IV catheter, which is longer than a needle and more flexible, and stays in the vein better.

AICA was one of the first breed registries to establish a show program, Roll of Excellence (ROE)thatprovidesnationallevelcompetition on a regional basis across the United States.

The AICA ROE Sire program recognizes sires for the achievement of progeny in National ROE Shows, Class A ROE Shows and Class B ROE Shows. A sire qualifies as a ROE Sire when progeny have accumulated a minimum total of 400 ROE points. A minimum of 200 points must be class A ROE points. For an outline of the ROE program, contact the AICA Director of Activities.

“When forages become high priced, ranchers must look at their total costs..”

is for digestibility. Some rice straw is as high as 56 ADF and some as low as 44, which is a huge difference,” explains Nader.

If you buy the lowest quality rice straw you’ll end up paying more to balance it with a supplement than you’d pay for high priced good hay.

The digestibility of rice straw is also dependent on how it’s harvested and baled. “If it’s baled soon after the rice is harvested, at about 13 to 15% moisture, where it still has some green color and good aroma and not too dried out, it’s much better. If it’s baled right behind the harvester, it is as digestible (and has the nutrient quality) of low-end alfalfa. But within 48 hours it drops dramatically and turn into very poor quality forage,” he says.

“In studies where we’ve fed it to cattle green chopped right out of the field, intake and performance increases. No one feeds green chop rice straw or silage to cattle however, because of the cost of hauling the low quality forage (too much volume).

So it must be baled, but if it can be cut and baled with high moisture, the cows are more interested in it,” says Nader. As one rancher says, “Put it up like hay and it feeds like hay; put it up like straw and it feeds like straw.”

Another alternative feed, with the increase in ethanol plants, is corn stalks. In drought situations, some ranchers are hauling baled cornstalks from nearby farming regions. But it’s expensive to haul very far, for the nutrient value you get, and care must be taken in feeding big bales to minimize waste.

“You have to put them in bale feeders, and may have to pitch the bigger stalks out that the cattle won’t clean up.” He warns producers that cornstalks also need to be tested to check nitrate levels.

“Cornstalks have a little higher nutrient level than rice straw--about 5.9% protein. Its a little better feed but you need to have a better handle on it to feed it. Like rice straw, the faster you can bale it after harvest, the better it is; the more times it gets rained on, the quality is leached out of it,” he says.

“When forages become high priced, ranchers must look at their total costs. It’s easy to buy an alternative forage and purchase supplement. Concentrated energy is still cheaper to ship, but not many ranchers want to go out and feed cattle every day,” he says.

“We will probably see more canola meal shipped in from Canada, since they are growing more. It’s often brought by rail, and pelleted; otherwise it becomes compacted in the railroad 60 

S E P T E M B E R 2012

cars and difficult to get out. The freight on this is cheaper by rail than by truck, with high costs of diesel,” he says.

“The last time we had a serious drought one rancher bought an old conveyer belt from a Nevada gold mine and used it to feed on. It was 4 feet wide and very long. He drug it around his rangeland and augered feed onto the belt from his feed wagon. There was some waste, but it was still cheaper than building a drylot for the cattle. He hooked onto the belt with a tractor and moved it to a new place each day so the cattle wouldn’t beat up the rangeland, and the belt kept the feed from being tromped in the dirt,” explains Nader.

Almond hulls are another alternative in some regions. “But as the price of corn has risen, all the other alternatives have risen as well. With almond hulls, some people dump them in the pasture and use electric fence to limit what cattle eat each day, moving the fence farther into the pile. There is some waste this way, and when almond hulls were $48 to $56 a ton delivered, this was ok. But now they are over $100 a ton and you don’t want to waste that much.”

Traditionally it was cheaper to move cattle to the feed than to haul feed to the cattle in a drought situation, but not anymore. Transportation costs dictate using something close, even rain-damaged alfalfa. “A study at University of Nevada (Reno) found you can actually keep rumen protein levels the same if you feed alfalfa every other day and poor quality grass hay every day,” he says.

“The problem when feeding a small amount every day (like 3 pounds per head) is that the dominant cows eat all of it because you’re not feeding enough to really spread it out. Feeding 7 pounds every other day gives all of them more chance at it. The rumen protein levels stay high enough to keep the microbes working,” he says.

“It’s hard to beat alfalfa as a supplement, even if it’s more than $250 a ton. For what you get, it’s still the best feed to balance poor quality forage. The problem with feeding straight alfalfa is that it’s inefficient cost-wise. Cows easily meet their protein requirements and start burning the excess protein to make energy. And this is a very expensive source of energy.

That’s why you want to use just a small amount of alfalfa and look at other forage alternative to meet the energy demands of the cow. If good alfalfa is 20% protein, you don’t need to be feeding that as the full diet,” says Nader.
