IBBA CONNECTION On the Horizon

T

he cattle market remains strong as the shortage of cows, stockers and feeders continue in the current beef cycle.

This is good news for everyone throughout all various segments of the cattle industry both seedstock and commercial. Although it continues to be dry in some portions of the nation, many have received beneficial snow and/or rainfall that will grow forage to encourage rebuilding of the nation’s cowherd. This is certainly good news for all of our members as Brangus genetics provide the perfect replacement female, a profitable stocker calf and a feeder calf that meets or exceeds the current industry standards for high quality beef.

The demand for good Brangus genetics is quite strong as sale averages have been high all over the country. I have personally attended 32 different Brangus events in 11 states since the first of the year and was excited to see all of the members who attended these same events.

It is always fun to hear about the successes you share with me along the way.

Recently, a group of Brangus breeders relayed some current harvest information on a set of 81 purebred Brangus steers fed in Kansas.

The cattle grazed through an extremely hot summer, were fed in the coldest winter of memory, and were loaded for harvest in blizzard-like conditions. The cattle graded 73 percent Choice or better, dressed 64.5 percent and made a $244.58 profit per head. Additionally, 51 percent of the carcasses qualified for Certified Angus Beef (CAB) or other quality based premiums. The best part of the story included the fact that these cattle were the “cull mates” from bulls sold in recent Brangus bull sales.

Wow is all that I can say; I cannot wait to see the feedout data from progeny that these “keeper” bulls produce in the future.

The 2014 IBBA Annual Convention and Global Brangus Roundup were a success, and congratulations go out to the new officers, directors and award winners. Member award winners, Mike Coggins, Steve Densmore, Jerry Morrow, and David Vaughn, as well as their families, are very deserving of the great honor bestowed upon them. I would like to personally thank Russell Trefny and his family for winning the Commercial Producer of the Year award. The Trefnys are a tremendous advocate for the Brangus breed by using our genetics to produce high valued replacement females and efficient, profitable feedlot cattle. A big thank you goes out to the entire IBBA staff for their hard work and dedication to this convention. Finally, look for good things from your directors and newly elected officers: President, Traci Middleton; 1st Vice President, Mike Vorel; 2nd Vice President, Danny Farris; and Secretary/Treasurer, Brandon Belt.

The 2014 IBBA officers and Board of Directors have a full slate of decisions to be made in the coming year. Selection of a genomics provider, a National Cattle Evaluation (NCE) analysis company, and 10 | MAY 2014

BRANGUS JOURNAL

action on the 2013 THR subcommittee report are just a few of the big impact actionable items. We are very close to providing genomic enhanced EPDs in the sire summary so the board’s decision on a genomics company (Zoetis, GeneSeek, etc.) will have a large impact on your future management decisions. Likewise, selection of an institution (University of Georgia, Colorado State University, etc.) to calculate new EPDs that are enhanced with genomics information will be just as important to your bottom line. Lastly, an in-depth evaluation of the 2013 THR subcommittee’s final report could have a huge impact on the growth of cow inventory and overall membership trends in the association.

The call for committee volunteers from the IBBA membership has been very successful, and I am encouraged by your commitment to the success of this association. Do not hesitate to call me if you want to serve on a committee in the future. I look forward to seeing the important things the newly appointed committee chairs and members will be presenting to the board for action in the coming year. The education committee has already begun by requesting more information on the use of artificial insemination and embryo transfer technologies.

Therefore, look for educational articles on estrous synchronization protocols, timed AI protocols, and other reproductive strategies in future issues of the Brangus Journal.

On that note, please remember that ALL AI sires and ET donor dams must be tested for any genetic condition they are known genetic potential carriers for (developmental duplication, fawn calf, etc.) before registry of their calves can be accomplished in the future. You are requested to get the testing process started immediately as it takes up to 30 days to get the results back on some of the testing. Do not wait until the last minute as it may certainly cause you to miss some important deadlines (show date ownership, sale catalog entry, etc.) where calf registry numbers are required. Please feel free to contact me if you are not sure whether or not your AI sire or donor dam must be tested.

Do not hesitate to call me if you have any specific questions about the convention, global roundup or international marketing. For information about IBBA programs or other inquiries, please call (210) 696-8231 or visit www.GoBrangus.com.

IBBA CONNECTION Great Questions Yield Great Results

I

am a fan of Inc. magazine. At this moment, I have an old copy in my truck, one on my desk, and one on the coffee table. I receive both the print and digital copies.

With the abundance of recycled, industry specific information that floods my inbox and mailbox every day, I find that the occasional publication outside of the agricultural bubble provides a different and unique perspective. In the April 2014 issue of Inc., I came across a timely article titled, “35 Great Questions.” In summation, entrepreneurs, business leaders, and business experts address the important questions to ask to drive a business forward. Our individual cattle operations are businesses. IBBA is a business. We need to relentlessly “think bigger” for both to succeed. The only way to achieve this will be to ask ourselves more advanced and more challenging questions.

Below, I will pose some of the same question for you to consider: “Are we changing as fast as the world around us?”

In reality, probably not. Yesterday’s technology is being shelved to make way for new, more innovative approaches to beef production. One example – genomics. Our customers are becoming more aware and gaining a stronger understanding of new technology and demanding that we offer more. More data. More information. More decision making tools. Their profitability, and therefore ours, depends on it.

“What trophy do we want on our mantle?”

In the cattle business, we have to be a jack-of-all-trades. It is simply the nature of the industry. Concurrently, we have to be focused on the end goal with every decision that we make. Several years ago, a Brangus operation had the slogan, “Beginning With The End In Mind.” Identifying the name of the trophy on the mantle will make the journey more clear from the start.

“Are we paying enough attention to the partners our company depends on to succeed?”

We can trade dollars with one another, but at the end of the day the commercial cattleman is the lifeblood of a seedstock producer. As genetic suppliers, are we equipping them with the information, tools, and resources they require? If not, someone else will. We are manufacturing a genetic package that is expected to perform and excel long after leaving our ranch gates. Are we building the best genetic packages we can? Have you asked your customers what you can do better? Upstream, the people buying their product are demanding they do better, and they expect the same from us.

“Are we relevant? Will we be relevant five years from now?

Ten?” 12 | MAY 2014

BRANGUS JOURNAL

by Traci MIDDLETON IBBA PRESIDENT

Can Brangus be relevant? Absolutely. We have as much to offer the beef industry as any breed. The bigger question is, “Are we proving and communicating our relevance?” We need to place an abundance of emphasis on proving ourselves. The days of simply stating we have the best maternal package in the industry or that Brangus sired calves will feed and grade with the best of them are over. On the other hand, proving those statements with research and communicating those results will gain more market share and ensure long-term sustainability for the Brangus breed.

“Do we have the right people on the bus?”

IBBA has added several new hires in the last few months. Dr. Tommy Perkins, Jason Bates, and Emilio Silvas bring a fresh perspective and enthusiasm to IBBA. That coupled with the dedicated, tenured staff members makes for an excellent team to work on behalf of Brangus. In March at the annual convention, Bill Davis, Mike Kammerer, and Eddy Roberts were seated as new members to the Board of Directors. We are optimistic that their leadership will be a solid addition as well. At the time of this publication, committee members for 2014-2015 will have been seated. The power of this association belongs to the members, and we welcome, encourage, and openly support your involvement in IBBA. The world belongs to those who show up, so get involved.

The questions in this industry are constantly evolving, as are the answers. That does not change the certainty that when you ask great questions, then you can expect great results. This business, like any other, has obstacles that have to be addressed, and we will not get anywhere with our heads in the sand.

These questions, along with many others, must be answered in order to push our breed forward. If you are intrigued by these questions, have a great question of your own, or feel that you can offer solutions to help us press forward, please contact me or another member of the IBBA Board of Directors. Contact information can be found on page 8 or on the IBBA website at GoBrangus.com. BJ ABOUT THE AUTHOR From Puryear, Tenn., Traci Middleton has a deeply rooted history in the Brangus breed. Prior to her current term as President of the International Brangus Breeders Association, she was President of the International Junior Brangus Breeders Association in 2002-2003, making her the first individual to come full circle and serve in both of these positions. Traci has previously served on the promotion, membership and education, junior advisory, and show committees, as well as various ad-hoc committees.

IBBA CONNECTION Flashback: A Letter from Floyd E. Newcomer

F

our and one-half miles south of the town of Burton, Texas, is located the Willow Springs Ranch, established in 1950 by Dr. Herman L. Gardner, nationally known Houston, Texas, physician. Working partner and manager for the ranch is Matt Syler.

To stock Willow Springs Ranch, Gardner and Syler selected the new and highly popular Brangus breed as the type to breed on the 950-acre ranch.

Additions to the original herd have been added from time to time, from such outstanding Brnagus establishments as Clear View Ranch, Vinita, Oklahoma, Carl Colwick, Stephenville, Texas, and Magdalena, New Mexico, and W Bar Stock Farms, Highlands, Corrigan and Livingston, Texas. At the present time, the breeding herd is composed of more than 150 breeding age females. The six herd bulls include registered Brangus bulls as well as some three-quarter blood bulls The ranch has one of the best improved pasture programs to be found in that area. In addition to the grasses native to that section, additions of Coastal Bermuda, Johnson and buffel grasses have been made, to afford maximum grazing throughout the growing season. These pasture grasses are supported also with the seeding of Hubam clover and various other legume and pasture mixtures. Oats are used for winter and sparing grazing, and Sudan grass for summer grazing. A considerable amount of hay is produced on the ranch, and usually a good yield of baled oats hay is taken from the oats field, after the cattle have been taken off and placed in other pastures.

“Willow Springs Ranch is strictly a breeding and beef producing operation,” Dr. Gardner said recently. “It is our aim to develop the biggest and best Brangus herd in South Texaswhere those seeking top Brangu breeding stock can fill their requirements. Animals that are not of the highest quality and breeding will be sold as commercial beef.”

Brangus Journal AUGUST 1954 VOLUME 2, ISSUE 4

TOP BRED ½ BLOOD HEIFER I am enclosing a number of snaps taken of our enrolled and registered Brangus that are out on pasture. The heifer with her calf, I would say, is just about the top bred half-blood Brangus heifer that there is in this country. This cow’s mother was a Blue Ribbon at the AmericanAberdeen Angus Show and Sale at Sacramento, Calif., in March, 1950, and is one of the top Angus cows on the Pacific Coast. The father of the calf is our top Angus herd bull, Prince Oldfield 600 of Ferndale.

None of the animals you see in these photos have been pampered or fitted for exhibition and have all been raised on their mothers until weaned and then to pasture. I do not think there would be any question raised but what they have been very closely selected as for individuals. I am going to carry a full page in the August issue of the Western Livestock Journal and unless something foreseen develops we shall have a few good animals over at the Pomona Fair.

TOP QUALITY ½ BLOOD STEERS NOW IN FEED LOTS We have quite a number of our own raised half-blood steers in the feed lots here that are positively beautiful. We are also feeding out a very fine lot of Mr. Canning’s Brangus cattle which we purchased as calves at Magdaleno, New Mexico, last year.

They should reach the market sometime prior to September 1, and they will be good.

YUMA VALLEY’S MARKET TOPPERS All those Yuma Valley feed steers that you have been reading about as “top of the market” in the Los Angeles papers for the last couple of months happened to have been fed out and shipped by the Yuma Valley Cattle Company.

Very truly yours, Floyd E. Newcomer BJ

IBBA CONNECTION About to Start Again

T

he 2013-2014 show season came to a close in March with the final season champions being crowned at the 2014 International Brangus Show in Houston, Texas. In total show season, 697 animals were exhibited at IBBA’s four national and four regional shows. Some interesting facts and figures on different breakdowns of those entries are shown in the charts to the right.

Reflection upon these numbers as compared to a year ago shows meager improvement in terms of total numbers shown.

Almost every show was within about 10 head of last year’s numbers with most holding very steady. But, reflection upon the past does little unless we can use it to change the future.

One such change is coming with the start of the 2014-2015 show season – the location of the 2014 National Junior Brangus Show (NJBS) and Brangus Futurity. The countdown is already on with less than 90 days remaining until check-in for the NJBS. The IJBBA Board of Directors has been busy planning this year’s event. New contests, new events, and lots of fun await all those who plan to attend the 2014 NJBS on July 20-26 in Bryan, Texas.

The change of location promises to bring new enthusiasm and meaning to the NJBS and Futurity. I hope each and every junior and adult member reaches out to anyone they know with Brangus show cattle and encourages them to make the trip to Bryan this summer. Without a doubt, this year’s NJBS will be one to remember!

The tentative schedule of events as well as a listing of host hotels is on pages 22-23 of this issue. A complete booklet of entry information is now available online at junior.gobrangus. com. Some contest rules have been updated, so make sure you look over the entry booklet as well as attend the NJBS exhibitor orientation. The actual entry form has changed with the new location, so make sure you read carefully and contact me with any questions.

NJBS entries must be postmarked by May 15, 2013. Late entries for the NJBS will be accepted postmarked through June 1 with a $25 per EXHIBITOR fee. This fee is per exhibitor – not per entry. Brangus Futurity entries need to be postmarked by June 1 as well, but late entries will be accepted until check-in at $75/ entry. I am always available and willing to answer any questions or concerns you may have, so feel free to contact me anytime.

One of the most exciting events during NJBS is the IJBBA Source of Champions Show Heifer Sale on Thursday night. If you have or know of a heifer that would be a good fit in this year’s sale, be sure to contact a member of the IJBBA Board for more information regarding the sale.

IJBBA CONNECTION Youth Beef Industry Congress

T

his year the International Junior Brangus Board was given the opportunity to attend the Youth Beef Industry Congress in St. Louis, Mo. Attending this conference has not only broadened our horizons in leadership and teamwork, but it has also opened up our connections in the cattle industry.

Our first tour at the Monsanto facility was a success. Our association as well as many others learned the background on chipping, how to enhance the genetics of seeds, and the process on how to plant the seeds back in the fields. The leaders of each Board of Directors had the experience of getting a closer glance at the new technology and learn about machinery that Monsanto is utilizing to help farmers produce more crops on less land. They are working closely with the farmers, the support system to our population, to maximize their production as they try to feed, clothe, and provide energy with the resources they can obtain.

The first tour the conference provided was a great learning experience to our board and was a great insight into the new technology being used in the agricultural industry today.

That evening we were joined by a GeneSeek representative and a motivational speaker who covered potential and leadership in an interactive way. He engaged us in his speech and gave us the incentive to interact with the other leaders in the various breed associations.

On the second day, we visited the Purina Farm and attended seminars given by the Purina employees. We learned about the research they do on the farm with the animals in order to formulate a ration that is beneficial to the animals that we raise.

After a vigorous research period, the formula is then tested on animals in different situations again before it is put on the market. Seminars covered topics like ruminant nutrition and microbiology, minerals, show animal nutrition, sustained nutrition, horse nutrition, dairy nutrition, and career building.

Nutrition is a major part of the livestock industry, and Purina is working every day to ensure these animals receive the nutrients they need. The Purina tour was another great experience that

has offered more information to expand our knowledge on the nutritional side of the livestock industry. That evening we met with two more speakers to talk about feed efficiency in the beef industry.

I am thankful for the opportunity to be able to attend the 2014 Youth Beef Industry Congress and for the leaders in the industry today who have given their time to the youth to grow into the leaders of tomorrow. Meeting with the other youth leaders and learning how the industry is changing and how to become more effective leaders has been a great part of this trip.

IBA CONNECTION IBA Scholarship Recipients Announced

T

he International Brangus Auxiliary (IBA) was founded in 1977 as a promotional and educational organization to help promote interest in the Brangus breed. A program for the sale of Brangus promotional items was quickly established to further introduce the general public to Brangus and build enthusiasm for the breed. The proceeds from the sale items assisted the group in operating while a scholarship program for the junior Brangus breeders was started. In 1979, the first scholarship award was made by the IBA. The scholarship committee met during the IBBA Annual Convention in March of this year to review the scholarship applications. The IBA is excited to announce the recipients of the 2014 IBA scholarships to six very impressive scholarship

T

he International Brangus Breeders Association (IBBA) welcomed members and show exhibitors to its annual convention in Houston March 4-8, 2014, in conjunction with the Houston Livestock Show

and Rodeo.

To kick off the events, a welcome reception was hosted in the show barn Tuesday evening to engage with members in attendance. The next morning, several committees met to discuss developing plans for advancement, and Dr. Milt Thomas, Colorado State University, gave an educational presentation about genomic indicators. IBBA staff members also provided informative presentations to the group. Jason Bates, Director of Field Services and Commercial Marketing, provided his thoughts about how to market and promote Brangus to the commercial sector and positively positioning Brangus in the beef cattle industry. Emilio Silvas, IBBA Product Manager, discussed Total Herd Reporting (THR), Genetic Performance Solutions (GPS), Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs), and gave an update of other relevant topics to the membership.

Later that afternoon during the Board of Directors meeting, a new slate of officers were elected to the Executive Committee.

IBBA Hosts Sixth Annual Global Roundup Event

he International Brangus Breeders Association (IBBA) hosted the Sixth Annual Brangus Global Roundup Thursday, March 6, 2014, during its annual convention in conjunction with the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. The Global Roundup was an educational event that brought domestic producers together with international guests. Dr. Flavio Riberio, a native of Uberaba, Brazil, and currently a research scientist at Prairie View A&M University, served as the master of ceremonies.

Dr. Tommy Shields, assistant professor at McNeese State University in Lake Charles, La., discussed live animal evaluation and the importance of evaluating an animal’s confirmation for structural soundness. He demonstrated on a live Brangus heifer in the ballroom by drawing chalk lines indicating key angles and points that are essential in maintaining an animal’s soundness and longevity. He also discussed genetic correlations in cattle and the difficulties trying to breed out confirmation problems if a producer has single-trait selected for other highly heritable traits within their herd.

Leslie Frenzel, doctoral candidate at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas, gave a valuable, in-depth demonstration on evaluating cattle from a carcass standpoint. She explained the differences and procedures used by USDA inspectors to determine quality and yield grade in cattle and how to optimize carcass value. She then gave a live demonstration in deboning and processing a rib roll to an engaged crowd of participants.

She processed the whole rib roll and explained the economic differences and compared the values of all the tissue it contained.

A delegation from Mexico was also present to promote and extend invitations to the 2014 World Brangus Congress in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico, on November 10-14.

Concluding this year’s event was a bilingual video presentation showcasing multiple herd sires and donor dams presented by the Global Roundup sponsors. For more information about the event and to see a list of sponsors, visit IBBA’s website at http:// gobrangus.com/global/. BJ

to the Seminole Tribe of Florida. He served the IBBA in several capacities including a term as president in 2007-2008, and he was awarded the Brangus Breeder of the Year award in 2005 for his progressive ideas and successful operation.

BREEDER OF THE YEAR Steve Densmore of Bryan, Texas, was one of two recipients of the Breeder of the Year Award. The substantial amount of carcass data the IBBA has received on fed Brangus steers is, in part, due to Densmore’s dedication to the Brangus breed. He has a passionate devotion to the Junior Brangus Association and was the recipient of the Georganne Myers Award in 2011 for his support of the Junior program. Densmore also served on the IBBA Board of Directors from 1997 until 2003 and was elected President in

2014 IBBA CONVENTION 2002. He was elected to another three-year term from 2010 to 2013, which collectively totals 10 years on the IBBA board.

BREEDER OF THE YEAR Mike Coggins was another recipient of the Breeder of the Year Award for his progressive ideas and outstanding seedstock operation. Coggins is a truly progressive breeder who produces some of the best genetics with the latest technologies available.

Coggins owns Blackwater Cattle Company in Lake Park, Ga., where he oversees a purebred Brangus cattle business along with a diversified agriculture operation. He is very knowledgeable about all sectors of the industry and understands the needs of commercial cattlemen, seedstock producers and consumers alike.

COMMERCIAL CATTLEMAN OF THE YEAR The Commercial Producer of the Year award was presented to Russell Trefney of Weimar, Texas, in recognition of his achievements and success of incorporating Brangus genetics in his commercial cattle operation. A fifth generation cattleman,

Trefny found Brangus to be the best breed for his crossbreeding operation in Central Texas in order to maintain a consistent product that resulted in higher quality carcass grades at the harvesting stage, making it more profitable for him to retain ownership through the feedlot.

OUTGOING IBBA DIRECTORS In addition to the five award recipients, other IBBA members were recognized for their time, dedication and service to the breed. Ron Flake served as president of the Board of Directors for the 2013-2014 year. From Ecru, Miss., Flake is the manager of Town Creek Farms in West Point, Miss., and bought his first registered Brangus cattle more than 25 years ago. Mike Burke and Don Cox were both recognized as outgoing directors.

Burke most recently co-chaired the Marketing and Promotions Committee and represented area 11 on the Board of Directors.

Representing area seven, Cox completed his second three-year term and most recently served as chairman of the Show Advisory Committee.

Award recipients were presented their awards Friday, March 7, 2014, by the IBBA in Houston, Texas, at the IBBA annual convention. Award recipients are nominated and selected by the IBBA Awards Committee. Please visit www.gobrangus.com for more information. BJ

2014 IBBA CONVENTION Brangus Herdsmen Awarded in Honor of Matt Syler

by Tyler DEAN IBBA DIRECTOR OF SHOWS & YOUTH PROGRAMS

E

ach year at the International Brangus Show hosted in conjunction with the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, the International Brangus Breeders Association (IBBA) honors a herdsman in two divisions – Brangus and Red Brangus. The award honors the herdsman who goes above and beyond in representing not only the cattle he or she cares for, but also the herdsman who diligently promotes and represents the Brangus breed as a whole.

This year the IBBA Show Committee made the unanimous decision to award the IBBA Herdsman Award in honor of a very special man, Matt Syler. To say Syler was important to the Herdsman Award is a complete understatement. Syler was important and instrumental to the entire Brangus breed.

Born to Monnie Lou Glimp Syler and Hubert Syler on January 27, 1927, Syler was raised primarily in Buda and Chimney Springs, Texas, and the surrounding areas before joining the United States Navy where he became a Corpsman near the end of World War II. He received the American Theatre Medal, Good Conduct Medal, and Sharpshooter Tag. Afterward, Syler pursued his dream of working on a ranch in Wyoming while sending money home to his mother and younger siblings. While working on the Wyoming ranch, Syler learned a lesson he said he would never forget – “how to tell what a cow was about to do.” This lesson served him well as Syler was “always the first person to call with any questions or problems regarding a cow,” according to Dr. Robert Vineyard of Wharton, Texas.

In 1947 Syler was working on a guest ranch outside Kerrville, Texas, when he met two people who changed the course of his life, Herman and LeNan Gardner. The Gardners lent him the money to attend Texas A&M University where he majored in Animal Husbandry and Agronomy. Just a year later he met Ann, and in 1950 they were married. Herman signed papers on Willow Springs Ranch that same year, and Syler took on the challenge of restoring the ranch, gathering up groups of cowboy friends at A&M and driving to Burton to spend weekends building fences, barns, sheds, clearing pastures, introducing the first Coastal Bermuda grass to Washington County and working on the house that him and Ann would spend the next 21 years of their life.

Syler knew from college exactly the type of cattle that he would use at Willow Springs.

“I had seen at A&M an accidental ½ blood cross bull and considered him to be the most magnificent animal I had ever

BRANGUS JOURNAL

2014 IBBA CONVENTION seen,” Syler wrote in his reminiscences. “The combination of Brahman and Angus seemed to me to be the ideal for the Gulf Coast and Southwest. I still don’t remember why anyone would breed or own any other breed.”

Willow Springs was dedicated to building their herd toward the 3/8 : 5/8 percentage Brangus. And they were not afraid to travel great distances, even as far as Virginia, to gather the ½, ¼ and ¾ blood animals needed to produce the desired 3/8 : 5/8 outcome.

“It was not possible back in those beginning days to just go out and buy this blood percentage. You had to build up to it,” recalled Syler.

Syler joined IBBA in 1951 and served two terms on the Board of Directors. He was a founding member of the Texas Brangus Breeders Association and served as the secretary for eight years. In 1971 Syler began his own ranching operation and sales management business, Syler Sales Management.

“Matt was a true cattleman and was never out of place in any group of cattlemen,” Vineyard said. “That dedication and drive for our industry lead to him being honored during his lifetime with many awards. He received multiple honors from his Brangus breeder family, but the highest honors were his 2000 Brangus Breeder of the Year and 2009 Pioneer Brangus Breeder awards.”

In addition to his many accomplishments, Syler had a huge impact on the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. Syler was instrumental in getting the very first junior heifer show established at Houston. He was an avid supporter of juniors as recalled by Lindsay Syler of Diboll, Texas.

“My show career began in the early 1990s after moving from a home in a neighborhood to a small farm.

One Sunday morning, Dad and I were flipping through our Brangus Journal and noticed an advertisement for Syler Cattle Co. How could we not be related? This was really fascinating, so we called and inquired. That was the very beginning of our relationship with Matt Syler. We went the next weekend to look for a new heifer and make a purchase. While at his home we met Ann, and they showed us all around their ranch and home. We even got an education on family history and found out that we were rather closely related.

Dad and Matt stayed great friends and talked quite frequently until my father passed in early 2011. Matt always made it a point to show up at any of my important events such as my graduation from Texas A&M. (continued on page 34)

2014 IBBA CONVENTION (continued from page 38) Matt was a dear friend, mentor, and Brangus enthusiast. He knew quality cattle and wanted to ensure that quality in his own herd and in the legacy of the Brangus breed. Matt was a true and “stand-up” gentleman and always had a smile on his face. He will always be remembered with the utmost respect and admiration for the kind of man he was not only to me and my family, but to everyone with whom he came in contact.

My farm today is proud to still be running a few old show cattle and their offspring that carries the genetics and legacy from Syler Cattle Company.”

Syler, beloved father, grandfather, great grandfather, and Brangus enthusiast, passed away last November. Syler’s children, Jeb and his wife, Alma; Melanie and her husband, Tim; and Darla and her husband, Candido; and other members of the Syler family were present in Houston to assist in making the 2013 Herdsman Award presentations.

The Herdsman Award is a true honor. Syler himself was honored with the award several times during his tenure at Willow Springs Ranch according to Willow Springs Herdsman, Kenneth Goessler.

“Matt was very proud of us getting the Herdsman Award at the Brangus show in Houston. We won the Herdsman Award in 1962, 63, 64, and 65, and we won the very the first International Brangus Herdsman award in Houston in 1966.”

Today, the IBBA Herdsman Award is based on participation at IBBA’s four national shows as well as a vote of peers present in the barns at Houston.

The 2013 Brangus Herdsman of the Year Award went to Mark Koehl. Koehl exhibited and cared for cattle this past year for Indian Hills Ranch and Johnston Cattle Company. With more than 30 years experience in the show ring, 20 of them with Brangus cattle, Koehl has had a banner year at IBBA’s national shows. Starting with the Futurity in July where he took home Grand Champion Cow/Calf Pair and Reserve Grand Bull to exhibiting the Western National’s Grand Champion Female and Reserve Grand Bull. He continued at the 2013 Show of Merit exhibiting the Reserve Grand Female and Grand Champion Bull.

In Houston at the International Brangus Show, Koehl completed the show season exhibiting the Grand Champion Female and Reserve Grand Bull. But the Herdsman Award is not based on your success in the ring; it is based on participation, and Koehl

“I worked for Jerry Schultz during the time that Matt Syler decided to sell out,” Koehl said. “We purchased a lot of his cattle and leased his land. I was able to work with Matt on a regular basis during that transition, and knowing him and the man he was makes this award mean so much more.”

With his tremendous experience and tenure showing Brangus cattle, Koehl serves as a testament to the kind of people exhibiting Brangus cattle.

“I enjoy the Brangus breed and showing Brangus cattle,” he said. “I have met and made a huge number of friends during my time showing, and I am extremely honored by this award. I greatly appreciate my family for always supporting me and the owners of the cattle for giving me the opportunity to haul such high quality cattle.”

Exhibiting cattle at all four IBBA national shows helped Stephen Clark claim the 2013 Red Brangus Herdsman of the Year. Clark exhibited and cared for cattle this past year for Triple JR Cattle Company and McDonald Ranches. Clark’s success in

the show ring really started at the 2013 Western National where he took home Grand Champion Female. He followed that up with another Grand Champion Female at the 2013 Brangus Show of Merit and a Reserve Grand Female at the 2014 San Antonio Regional Brangus Show. Clark is unique as he accumulated a substantial number of points for herdsman in both the black and red divisions.

At just 24 years old, this past show season has given Clark his most memorable experience exhibiting Brangus cattle, winning Grand Champion Female with two different females in backto-back IBBA national shows. A native of Lafayette, La., and a product of the IJBBA, Clark has exhibited Brangus cattle since the age of eight.

“I am really honored to receive this award at my age,” Clark said. “It is a huge honor.”

Congratulations to the winners! BJ

Stephen Clark was presented IBBA’s 2013 Red Brangus Herdsman Award by members of the Matt Syler family as well as IBBA Executive Vice President, Tommy Perkins and IBBA Director of Shows and Junior Activities, Tyler Dean.

Clark helped both Triple J-R Cattle Company and McDonald Ranches claim Champion Red Brangus Female at an IBBA National Show this past season.

2014 IBBA CONVENTION 2014 IBBA Board of Directors Chuck Sword – Area 1

Charles “Chuck” Sword and his wife, Norma, live approximately 50 miles south of Atlanta, Ga., in the little community of Hollonville where they purchased their farm in 1969. Together, they now manage a purebred Brangus operation.

During the 1980s, Sword decided to scale down their diverse agriculture operation to focus on cattle production, and following the purchase of their first registered Brangus cattle, they named their farm “CHAR-NO Farm”, combining Charles’ and Norma’s names.

Sword is an active member of his local, state and national cattlemen associations and previously served two terms as a director for the IBBA from 1991 to 1997. He said his interest in returning to the IBBA Board of Directors is to help keep the association membership driven and to strengthen the committee system. Most recently, Sword was appointed as chairman of the Breed Improvement Committee for the upcoming year.

“Our standing committees are where good ideas come from and our leadership development forms. We must work harder and smarter to achieve more of the industry piece of the beef genetic pie, and we can through research, education and promotion,” Chuck said.

Bill Davis – Area 2

Bill Davis and his wife, Gail, own and operate Chimney Rock Cattle Co. in Concord, Ark. Having never owned any brand of cattle other than Brangus, Bill is very familiar with both the purebred and commercial aspects of the breed.

“The cattle industry is in the middle of record setting times, and no other breed has more potential for growth

than Brangus,” Davis said.

Davis has previous experience on the board and involvement on several committees, and he has been appointed to serve as the chairman of the International Committee for 2014-2015.

Cody Gariss – Area 3

Cody Gariss was elected to serve a second three-year term on the IBBA Board of Directors this year. A third generation cattleman, Gariss co-owns and operates his family’s diversified cattle operation including a Brangus seedstock business. The Gariss Ranch consists of approximately 50 registered Brangus cows, more than 400 commercial Brangus females, and, in addition, markets almost 1,000 yearlings annually.

“I appreciate the opportunity to again help the association move forward and advance the breed,” Gariss said. “The future of Brangus is as bright now as it has ever been from both the commercial and purebred standpoint. Possessing outstanding terminal and carcass attributes, we have an opportunity to be at the forefront of the industry and help rebuild the nation’s cowherd.”

Gariss stresses the importance of maintaining the breed’s integrity, and at the same time, continue to improve upon the resources available that will allow fellow purebred breeders more tools and opportunities to promote and market their cattle. He was named chairman of the Promotion and Marketing Committee for 2014-2015 Gariss graduated with honors from Missouri State University in 2005 with a degree in Animal Science. He is still active in helping junior 4-H and FFA members with their individual livestock projects and judges numerous local and regional cattle shows throughout Missouri.

MARKETING UPDATE Artificial Insemination: How can you afford not to?

T

he goal of all seedstock producers should be to produce the most efficient, high performing, consistent genetics with intentions of improving from year to year. As Brangus producers, we are a very small portion of the entire cattle industry and have to be able to produce the very best bulls and replacement females for the commercial cattleman. If we get complacent in our mating decisions, the genetic value of your entire herd will decrease.

Artificial Insemination (AI) has been utilized very effectively in the dairy and swine industries for more than 65 years. However, less than 10 percent of the nation’s beef cows are being bred using AI. Within the Brangus breed, the percentage of calves registered using AI, as opposed to natural service, has only risen from 19 percent to 21 percent from 2007 to 2012. Values for 2013 have not yet been calculated due to the fact that not all fall calves born in 2013 have been registered to date, but the trend appears to be consistent with previous years.

BRANGUS JOURNAL

by Jason BATES IBBA DIRECTOR OF FIELD SERVICES AND COMMERCIAL MARKETING

Ideally, from an association stand point, we would like the percentage of calves registered to be closer to 50 percent in relation to all calves registered within our database, taking into account average first time conception rates.

There are multiple advantages to using artificial insemination that not only help improve the genetic base of individual herds, but also assist in making the management of your herd more efficient.

• The ability to use sires of superior genetic merit • More confidence in the genetic merit of bulls used with high accuracy values • More quickly identify reproductive productivity of existing cowherds • Increase hybrid vigor with the ability to make specific outcross matings • Reduce the number of herd bulls needed to cover cows • Increase marketability of surplus replacement heifers • Add value to market cattle • Shorter calving seasons • More consistent, uniform calf crop • Decreased likelihood for disease transmission Sire selection represents the greatest and most economical opportunity for change. The ability to use multiple high accuracy herd sires from all over the world can have a significant economic impact on your cowherd. There are several outlets available to all IBBA members including the annual IBBA International Semen Directory which helps identify service sires based on their own individual pedigrees, growth and ultrasound performance, and EPDs. A producer then has a broader scope of bulls to choose from when trying to balance the traits within his own cowherd.

AI service sires generally have more progeny recorded within our system from multiple different environments, which will increase the accuracy of their EPDs at a faster rate than natural service sires used on a limited amount of cows in a single herd.

Unlike actual measurements, EPDs consider heritability of a trait to more accurately predict genetic differences between animals.

The IBBA website, www.GoBrangus.com, also offers numerous reports and statistics including the leaders for all traits and genetic trends.

By synchronizing your cowherd and shortening your calving season, you not only decrease your labor and management costs, but you also increase the size of your contemporary groups.

Contemporary groups are the cornerstone for genetic evaluation.

They account for the differences among animals attributed to their genetic makeup by removing factors such as feed resources,

MARKETING UPDATE environment, sex and management differences. By using high accuracy AI sires, a producer is then able to put more selection pressure on his individual cows in the herd.

Estrus synchronization is the method of manipulating the timing in which your cows come into heat so they can be bred at the same time.

There are many different estrus synchronization methods available today to meet different management techniques. All estrus synch protocols require one or the following combination of three different products: • Prostaglandins (Lutalyse, Estrumate or IN-SYNCH) • Progestins (vaginal implantCIDR and MGA- a feed additive) • Gonadotropins GnRH (Cystrorelin and Fertagyl) Different protocols are needed for different operations depending on time, labor, age of cows and budget (see Beef Protocols Chart, Beef Reproductive Task Force). You should consult with your veterinarian or AI technician to determine what protocols work best for your operation. Success of your synchronization programs requires that your cows are heathly and disease free as well as be on a beneficial nutritional plan.

From a management aspect, AI can make life much easier on the ranch. By using estrus synchronization and AI, a producer can decrease the amount of labor and time spent checking calving groups. Producers can also work their calf crop less frequently by vaccinating and working calves all at once. Safety comes into play

as well. The fewer bulls you have, the safer the operation is for yourself and your family. Even the quietest, most gentle bull can (continued on page 44)

44 | MAY 2014

BRANGUS JOURNAL

As small as it may seem, every herd bull you keep requires just as much, if not more, feed and maintenance as your cows.

Everybody wants to get as much return for his or her calves as possible, and AI can help in the marketability of your product. From a commercial aspect, if you select for high growth in your high accuracy AI service sires, you should expect increased weaning weights of your calf crop that nets you more dollars when they are sold. From the purebred side, you are able to produce bulls and seedstock heifers sired by the “popular� bulls of the breed that will have increased marketability.

As demonstrated in Table 1, the straight line economics indicate that if you work with an average breeding cost of 50 dollars (semen, synchronization costs, heat detection, labor) and using $4,000 as an average cost, a producer can save an average of $3,915 based on a 100-head cowherd just in decreasing the number of bulls needed to cover cows. This is not taking into account the increased value of the calves based on increased genetic merit.

As seedstock producers and purebred cattle breeders, increased genetic merit should be the most convincing argument for using artificial insemination.

Using promoted AI sires that have been performance tested and are high in accuracy for traits that need to be improved in your herd is the fastest way to accelerate the quality of your herd. If you are a breeder who develops and collects all the data on your raised herd sires, you as well need the use of AI

MARKETING UPDATE in your herd to create more hybrid vigor in your calves by outcrossing.

The most important thing to remember when selecting the right AI sires to use within your herd is to match the appropriate sire with the individual cow or group of cows that will balance her own traits and increase her productivity. Whether you are breeding to produce replacement females or increasing carcass yield or quality, it is always important to never single trait select your sires based on your goals. Try to improve those traits you are selecting for without making your cowherd deficient in other areas. Never select your AI sire just based on a picture.

Phenotype and conformation are extremely important, but it is equally important to take into account all factors including EPDs, carcass predictors, size, individual performance and ratios, and genetic defect status.

The IBBA is here to help you locate this information, and breeders have gone to great expense to provide our members with as many tools as possible to help producers make the most educated decisions they can when selecting their AI sires. BJ ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Jason Bates has extensive experience in the seed stock industry having grown up in the registered thoroughbred and registered cattle business. Bates has had the opportunity to manage several purebred and commercial cattle operations, including helping develop a branded beef program from start to finish.

FEATURE IBBA Employee Celebrates 30 Years with Brangus

A

n employee at the International Brangus Breeders Association (IBBA) is celebrating a big milestone this year. Rosanne Sralla is commemorating 30 years of involvement in the Brangus breed.

Sralla was first introduced to Brangus in 1984 when she began working for Clayton Williams at Williams Cattle Company when he moved his registered herd from Fort Stockton, Texas, to Floresville. Gary Bruns was the manager of the operation at the time and said Sralla managed registrations, calving information, and records for about six different locations owned by Williams.

“She started out doing registrations and maintaining cattle records,” Bruns said. “She is a fast learner, and once she got in all the registrations on our cattle, I turned everything else over to her.”

Bruns said in the time Sralla was at Williams Cattle Company, they grew from 1,000 head of cows to 2,000 registered females, and she was integral in keeping accurate records for the entire operation.

“She has been with Brangus for 30 years, and that’s a testament in itself,” Bruns said. “That’s a lot of years to be with one program.”

Timmy Lucherk worked with Sralla at Williams Cattle Company and through the

transition when the operation was bought by Eric White and renamed Southgate. Lucherk got to know her better than most and said she was a good friend and fun to be around, but when it came to work, she was strictly business.

“Rosanne was in charge of everything as far as registration, managing semen inventory, accounting, paying bills and recordkeeping,” Lucherk said. “She did pretty much everything.”

Lucherk watched Sralla’s children grow up and travelled with them to shows and sales, assisting them in the show circuit. Being involved in the show aspect, Sralla became very familiar with the process and has applied her experience to her work today.

“She was very helpful working with the juniors and very knowledgeable about requirements and deadlines,” Lucherk said.

Lucherk’s wife, Karen, said Sralla was easy to get along with and knows how invaluable her experience is to the Brangus breed.

“She has an infectious laugh,” Karen said. “With her longevity with this breed and her experience, she could work a sale with her eyes closed. She’s at the top of her game, and she made at difference at the ranches she has worked with, and she knows every in and out about the system.”

FEATURE After 22 years of working at seedstock and commercial operations, Sralla began working at the IBBA in 2006 where she was able to apply the hands on experience she obtained working with producers. In addition to maintaining the herdbook for the association, Sralla verifies and inputs records, uploads DNA and ultrasound results, completes registration and transfer work, oversees DNA parent verifications, and administers THR reports and invoices. She also assists members with questions, concerns and aids in educating customers and producers about IBBA programs and services. Sralla wears several hats and is always willing to help outside her primary responsibilities when needed.

Frances Miller, Office Controller for the IBBA, has worked with Sralla for eight years during her tenure at the IBBA and can attest to Sralla’s unparalleled expertise.

“She brings insight and experience to the table this is irreplaceable,” Miller said. “She has qualities that encompass all sectors of the industry from the most basic to the most advanced.

She is one-of-a-kind.”

Miller said Sralla knows every policy and rule and her work ethic and meticulous recordkeeping are an asset to the association and, therefore, the members as well. With her history in the breed, Sralla’s contributions are incomparable.

“From a historical standpoint, she has seen the breed and the association evolve in the last 30 years,” Miller said. “She can envision the best methods and practices because of the transitions she has seen this breed achieve. She can explain how certain rules came about and understands why certain protocols were implemented, so we avoid problems that have already come across the breed.”

Sralla’s fortitude in the Brangus breed is certainly one to be recognized. Everyone knows Sralla’s distinctive voice on the other end of the line when they call the IBBA. We celebrate and congratulate Sralla on her 30 years of dedication and service to the Brangus breed and its members.

FEATURE Basic Management for a Successful Breeding Season

W

e’ve all been involved in conversation where a fellow breeder boasts about how great his breeding season was. He goes into detail about how high his conception rates are and how good his cattle always look. We walk away with mixed emotionsenvious of his success and yet excited to make changes in our own programs. There are several key ingredients to a successful breeding program, but to sum it all up, you have to have good management. Management is not about one person or one idea; it is a collection of practices which end with success. When utilizing embryo transfer and artificial insemination, good management is crucial to that accomplishment. You have to have accurate records, a sound nutrition program, healthy cattle, fertility in your herd, and a plan.

The first step to success is record keeping. This act can be as simple as making sure all your cattle are properly identified or as innovative as being able to look up specific cow information on your smart phone. When using embryo transfer (ET), it is very crucial to keep accurate and detailed records. Knowing how often a recipient has been synchronized, how many times she has been transferred to, and how many calves-both ET and natural-she has raised are all important facts your technician wants to know. With accurate record keeping, the answers are at your fingertips. There are several software programs and record keeping tools available and each has their benefits. Research your options and find the best product for your needs.

In order for your cattle to perform their best, their nutrition needs have to be met. We ask a lot of our cows. We want them

to raise a healthy calf, breed back, and maintain a pregnancy all while maintaining ample body condition. It will benefit your program to discuss your goals with a nutritionist from your area.

A nutritionist will make a plan that includes a diet and mineral program that is specific to your cattle. Talking with someone who is familiar with your area, forage types, and environment will meet those specific needs. Managing proper nutrition will lead to a successful season.

Another key ingredient in the recipe for success is a healthy, stress-free herd. A veterinarian will create a strategy to maintain a healthy herd including vaccination and deworming regimens.

Managing herd health without disrupting your reproductive plan is critical. Having the professional expertise during a crisis will help eliminate unwanted stress and damage.

If you want success using ET or AI, you have to have fertile cows.

Whether the discussion is about a potential donor cow or a herd of recipients, they have to be fertile in order to get production.

The fertility in a recipient cow is just as-if not more-important than your donor or AI females. Why would you invest your time and money in a donor cow only to transfer your opportunity in a sub-fertile recipient?

Embryo transfer and artificial insemination allows us to improve the genetics in our herd in a short amount of time. Have a manageable plan. Your plan can be as simple as making sure the semen is available when your cow is in heat, or as grandiose as planning your genetic selections for a production sale. Plan ahead and make arrangements with your veterinarian, nutritionist and ET practitioner in advance. Your time is important, just like theirs.

Henry Ford once said, “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.”

When utilizing embryo transfer and artificial insemination, the key to success is proper management. You have to keep accurate and detailed records, have proper nutrition available at all times, maintain a healthy herd, focus on fertility, and have a plan. Rely on veterinarians, nutritionists, software programmers and field experts to help. With all these tools, you will be the breeder boasting about your breeding success.

FEATURE Parent Verification and Genetic Conditions Where have we been and where are we now?

by Tommy PERKINS, Ph.D., PAS IBBA EXECUTIVE VICE-PRESIDENT

T

he purebred livestock industry has been undertaking the task of parent verification for many years. In general, the verification process has become more accurate and less expensive over time. However, that is not to say that errors in the process are no longer existent.

The DNA parent verification technology now has the benefit of add-ons to the same tissue sample which are making them more appealing. From a single DNA sample of blood, hair and/ or semen, breeders can now have parentage, homozyogosity for black or wild-type color, quality grade, tenderness, feed efficiency, and other traits identified. In ranch settings (purebred and commercial), multiple sire mating strategies can be used and resulting sire identification can occur. Thus, cattle producers can now determine the number of progeny sired by each bull in the same breeding pasture.

Early on, breed associations used blood typing as the means for parental assignment. This process entailed determination of the blood type (O, A, B or AB) of the offspring and at least one parent. Commonalities between the two blood types were used to indicate parentage. The biggest problem with this technology was the inability to distinguish parentage between two or more animals with the same blood type. It was the best we had at the time, but it did have its shortfalls.

Parent verification then transitioned into DNA testing using marker-based analysis at commercial facilities. Until just recently, this technology used highly polymorphic microsatellite markers called Short Tandem Repeat (STR) testing. However, most breed associations now use single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) technology for parentage determination.

STRs greatly excelled blood typing for parentage, but SNPs have shown more potential for automation, a lower genotyping error rate, and easy standardization between laboratories.

It should be noted that the SNP 50 | MAY 2014

BRANGUS JOURNAL

technologies include more markers (loci) in its testing panel than traditional STR panels which increases the level of accuracy to greater than 99 percent (see the table below).

Probably the biggest single problem going from blood typing to DNA has been the inability to merge the results from the two different technologies. As it stands today, we cannot take a blood type result and determine parentage in a calf that only has a DNA profile. Many of the older cows with blood type results on file have died, so tissue does not exist to run a DNA profile.

Fortunately, many of the older AI bulls still had semen around that was tested with the new DNA technology. It is unfortunate that results from each of these different technologies (blood type vs. STR vs. SNP) cannot be compared to each other to determine or validate parentage at this time.

Genomics have also allowed research scientists to produce genetic testing for determining unwanted genetic conditions in livestock populations. These are generally conditions occurring due to mutations and other deletion causes. The Angus breed has acknowledged several mutations over the past five or six years which include (but not limited to) things like arthrogryposis multiplex – AM (curly calf), Neuropathic Hydrocephalus – NH (water head), and Contractual Arachnodactyly – CA (fawn calf).

AM, NH and CA have a major impact on the physical appearance and ultimate performance of impacted animals. It is even lethal in some cases. All three are considered autosomal recessive traits of inheritance which means that an animal must receive two bad copies (one from the sire and one from the dam) of the defect to be impacted physically.

Most recently, these same researchers discovered the genetic condition called Developmental Duplication (DD) in the Angus population. It, too, is considered an autosomal recessive trait of inheritance; although, it appears to include some level of incomplete penetrance which reduces

FEATURE the incidence of expression in the population.

ASSOCIATION RULES

As a result of recently identified genetic conditions in Angus cattle, some of the semen collection facilities decided to test a hand full of Brangus bulls. Unfortunately, a few of the highly used AI sires tested positive to this same DD genetic condition.

Therefore, the International Brangus Breeders Association (IBBA) Board of Directors implemented a policy to help address these issues in our Brangus population. Please see the January 2014 Brangus Journal for a summary of the policy or visit our

website at GoBrangus.com.

Current rules at IBBA do not require parentage of any animal prior to registration. However, IBBA rules do state that all semen bulls used for artificial insemination (AI), and all donor dams used in an embryo transfer (ET) program must have a DNA profile or fingerprint on file. The IBBA AI and ET rules further state that all DNA submitted for profiling will also be tested for parentage if either one or both parents already have a DNA profile on record. The most recent policy also states that all AI sires and donor dams must be tested for any and all genetic conditions for which they are considered potential carriers (PC).

FINGERPRINT

Clarification of a profile or fingerprint versus parent verification is probably necessary. A DNA profile is the result generated from running an STR or SNP analysis on a tissue sample. There will generally be from eight to 14 markers (ETH 10, ETH 225) in a STR test and between 85 and 96 markers (AY943841, DQ381152, etc.) in a SNP test. Below is an example of a STR profile or fingerprint for a calf. These results would meet the requirements of the current IBBA AI and ET rule.

PARENT VERIFICATION USING A KNOWN SIRE AND KNOWN DAM

DNA parent verification is the validation of common markers between the calf and the known parent or parents. Below is an example of an STR profile being used to validate parentage from a proposed sire and dam. Note that the calf received one marker from the bull and one from the cow. It is also important to see that the calf can only have markers in its profile that match the same markers in the parent’s profile.

SIRE VERIFICATION USING MULTIPLE SIRES

Below is an example of a STR profile validating the correct sire in a multi-sire breeding system. Note that the calf is sired by Bull B. Bull A could not have sired the calf because the calf does not share (or have) alleles for all of the markers that can be provided by the sire. Hence, he is excluded at markers ETH 10, ETH 3 and TGLA 227.

The SNP technology works in the same manner with the exception of having many more markers to validate.

TECHNOLOGY TRANSITION

The blood typing technology for parentage is long gone, and its replacement technology, microsatellite (STR), is slowly being phased out. The efficiency and cost of STR technology (also known as microsatellites) is being replaced with a lower cost, more efficient, less subjective and more rapid test of parentage. It appears that single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) technology has become the “new norm� in the bovine parent verification arena and research world alike. All current genomic research, genetic condition testing and genomic enhanced expected progeny difference (EPD) evaluations are using this new technology. Additionally, the SNP technology is a more standardized process, and the results can thus be shared from lab to lab. The results also occur in a digitized format that minimizes human error.

IBBA needs to transition to the new technology away from the old STR testing. Results from older, more widely used AI sires and donor dams from previous genomics research projects using the SNP technology can be used as the starting point for IBBA’s transition to SNPs. These animals, considered the historic data, will make the transition easier at the association level. We currently have about 1,600 animals with 50K or higher testing results that will be used to formulate a breed specific training population for calculation of genomic enhanced EPDs in the nottoo-distant future. About 600 of those animals are older animals that can have the 96 SNP markers for parentage extracted for future use in parent verification using the new technology.

It is also possible that archived DNA samples (previously having STR tests run on them) at the genomics companies like Zoetis and GeneSeek can be retested using the new SNP technology. The request to retest an old (archived) sample would have to be made to the genomics company originally completing the STR test.

BRANGUS JOURNAL

SUMMARY

The use of genomics in the beef industry continues to grow in magnitude from parent verification to genetic condition testing to development of genomically enhanced EPDs. The IBBA members need to understand the importance of the newest technology and transition to its use now. This will place the Brangus breed in a good position to move forward with the less expensive, more efficient, more accurate and less subjective SNP technology. As a breeder, you can continue to build up our genomics database by submitting DNA samples for fingerprinting or parent validation. Remember that all AI sires and ET donor dams must have a DNA fingerprint or parent validation on file before AI and ET calves can be registered to them. You are highly encouraged to collect and submit a DNA sample on AI sires and ET donor dams before collecting semen or embryos from them. Do not wait until you have calves ready to register before you start the process. This will only cause you heartache and potentially significantly more money if things do not go perfectly in the process.

Some Brangus breeders will have 100 percent of their animals DNA parent verified. Others will choose to only DNA profile their calves (not all cows will have a SNP profile) with the SNP technology, so they will be ready for total parent verification moving forward. I am confident that breeders who choose to DNA parent verify all of their animals will have a marketing advantage in the future. This validation will give buyers more confidence in the animals they are purchasing. Adoption of total parent verification will be an easier decision as the cost of the technology gets less costly.

I highly encourage members to submit DNA testing for all AI sires and donor dams using the high-density chips (50K or greater). These chips generally include testing for parentage, genetic conditions, and a variety of important traits to be included in the genomically enhanced EPDs in the future with one good DNA sample submission. Additionally, I recommend breeders test all other replacement bulls and females with a low-density chip (30K or less) which also includes parentage and genetic conditions testing with one single DNA submission.

FEATURE Brangus Producer Launches Branded Beef Program

T

he Seminole Tribe of Florida announced in March the development of their branded boxed beef program, Seminole Pride Beef. The program has since expanded since its installment nine years ago. The Seminole Tribe of Florida recently purchased Salacoa Valley Farms, a Brangus seedstock operation, before its dispersal to keep the purebred herd intact and continue developing quality genetics.

With almost 4,000 members who form the shareholders, the Seminole Tribe of Florida have been raising cattle in Florida since 1521. The cattle used to supply the beef for the program are Brangus bred and raised on Seminole Tribal reservations as well as other cowcalf operations in Florida, following stringent health wellness and diet protocols. Alex Johns, Natural Resources Director for the Seminole Tribe of Florida, said the purchase of Salacoa Valley Farms herd allows the shareholders to continue to instill genetics into their herd that are going to perform at the feedyard and at the packinghouse.

“The cattle we’ve been feeding average 3.5 pounds of gain. They yield well, they grade well,” Johns said. “The Brangus breed fits perfect for our operation. Ultrablacks made great females, but it’s when you get to the second and third generation, we started to see them get back to too much Angus. They started getting too much hair and couldn’t handle the heat, and the calves started losing heterosis.”

With more experience in the commercial sector of the beef cattle industry, Johns said the seedstock sector is quite different. He entrusts bull development to Salacoa Valley Farms Manager Chris Heptinstall who Johns said is making measureable progress with the Brangus herd.

“What I do is take the data from Chris and start benchmarking and seeing what progressions he is making, and he is making progressions,” Johns said. “They just scanned the bulls [in March], and those bulls are better than they were last year. We have to make this place work as a seedstock operation and stand alone from the commercial operation.”

The Seminole Tribe of Florida’s vision for the branded boxed beef program is very clear. Johns said their initial goal was to be the first to completely raise cattle, from start to finish, in the state of Florida.

Now that they have achieved the goal of integrating the beef supply, the fluctuations often experienced throughout the different segments of the chain will be avoided.

“We chose to start participating in every segment until eventually we had a vertically integrated program, so that was the goal and vision in developing the branded boxed beef program,” Johns said. “We did several cuttings and everybody enjoyed their eating experience. They couldn’t believe that it was from Florida, and it was Brangus. We 54 | MAY 2014

showed the customer that we can produce a high quality product in Florida.”

Since the program’s inception in 2006, Seminole Pride Beef has grown rapidly beyond initial expectations. In first quarter sales in 2014, the program sold more than 92,000 pounds of beef and sales hit almost $550,000.

Director of Business Development Michael Sauceda brings awareness to the Seminole Pride brand. Boasting the headline “100% naturally native, Fresh from Florida”, Sauceda ensures the product stays consistent and true to their trademark.

“Brangus excels as far as the tenderness based on data we have received through shear force testing with the University of Florida where whom we work closely with to continually gauge not only tenderness, quality standards, cryovaced presentations, grading, marbling, and overall eating experience,” Sauceda said. “We are dedicated to producing the best product possible.”

John Dembeck, Chief Operating Officer, said the Seminole Tribe of Florida was looking at becoming more process focused and more environmentally friendly without derogating the quality of their beef product.

“We recognize that if we’re not strategic in our growth, that we’re going to have a deterioration, and we’re going to wind up generating a product that we’re either going to be rushing to market or we’re going to be cutting corners or losing our brand,” Dembeck said. “So I would rather build a brand slowly and strategically and have it be enduring than building it quickly and having it fade.” BJ

SBBA Announces Recipient of 2013 Janet Greuel Scholarship

iss Quinn Carter from Haines City, Florida, was recently named the 2013 recipient of the SBBA Janet Greuel Scholarship. She has been actively involved with Brangus cattle for the past four years and is currently serving her first year as an IJBBA director.

To share her knowledge and love of showing cattle, she hosted her first Showmanship and Fitting Clinic in August 2013 with 32 participants from five different counties.

Currently a freshman at Hillsborough Community College, her future plans include obtaining an associate’s degree in Veterinarian Medicine, then attending a university where she can achieve her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree with an emphasis in large animals.

“From there, I will continue to raise awareness and breed and raise my own registered Brangus herd and support future and upcoming youth who are showing Brangus,” said Carter of her future goals.

The SBBA feels Carter is already attaining these goals, as referenced by her Showmanship and Fitting Clinic, and her current ownership of 11 head of Brangus Cattle. BJ

MEMBERSHIP IJBBA Board of Directors Attends 2014 YBIC

T

his past March the IJBBA Board of Directors traveled to St. Louis, Mo., to attend the Youth Beef Industry Congress (YBIC). YBIC is a biannual event that allows junior leaders from breed and state cattle associations across the country the opportunity to gather and learn about the beef industry. Brangus was very well represented with all 11 of the junior directors in attendance.

This year’s congress was a two-day event that presented many speakers, team building activities, and tours of agricultural facilities in the area. A tour of the Monsanto facility started the activities.

Participants learned about Monsanto’s seed chipping process to extract DNA from plant seeds without causing damage to the seed embryo. This technology allows farmers to test their

BRANGUS JOURNAL

crop and plant only the seeds that, through DNA analysis, have the best production genetics. Monsanto is also using the technology to develop the latest hybrids of soybeans, corn, and other crops. Day one concluded with an evening filled with speakers such as Gary Felgar from GeneSeek and various team building activities.

Day two began with an early morning departure to the Purina Animal Nutrition Center.

Participants were informed of the rigorous testing and research that is done to ensure not only Purina’s quality control, but also to help understand animals and the ways in which they eat. Throughout the day, the directors heard speakers present on topics such as beef research overview, ruminant nutrition, microbiology of the rumen, beef intake modification,

MEMBERSHIP and mineral feeding. They were also able to tour the research farm and get to see how most of the research takes place there.

During the tours, they were treated to brief explanations of what and how research is conducted for other animals such as horses, dairy, companion, and zoo animals. The time at the research farm concluded with a former YBIC participant explaining how her trip to YBIC just four years ago led to her current position with Purina. She encouraged participants to take control of their careers and drive themselves toward success. YBIC and the networking opportunities available helped her succeed, and she encouraged all participants to take advantage of them while they were at YBIC. Day two concluded with a beef feed efficiency symposium, a night of dancing and networking.

The Brangus Board spent a third day in St. Louis and held a special board meeting to finalize plans for the

upcoming National Junior Brangus Show (NJBS). Overall, the trip proved to be very educational and successful for the junior directors. Each of them left St. Louis with a renewed passion for the beef industry and a solid team-oriented focus on making this year’s NJBS one of the greatest.

Travel to and participation in events such as this would not be possible without the support and donations from our breeders.

Brangus was one of the few breeds to have all directors present at this event, and that is a testament to the support and dedication Brangus breeders show the junior organization. The IJBBA Board of Directors would like to thank everyone who supports their fundraising efforts. BJ
