EPDs – A Few Simple Principles

by DR. JOSEPH MASSEY The more we learn about EPDs the more we have trouble understanding how to use them. The main principles around EPDs are that we can compare two different animals as to expectation of performance. It has been driven into my thought process that it does not matter what the absolute value is but rather the difference between two animals. For example, when evaluating two prospective sires for weaning weight, bull A with a weaning weight EPD of 41 pounds compared to bull B with a weaning weight EPD of 44 pounds one would expect the offsprings from bull B to have a weaning weight average of three pounds more than bull A. It would not matter if both of these bulls produce calves in central Texas or in the panhandle of Florida; bull B on average will always produce calves that weigh three pounds more than bull A offsprings.

EPDs are used to select or to compare animals that you might want to use in your breeding program. Therefore, you as a breeder must know you goals. EPDs therefore, serve as a guideline in selecting your breeding animals; but you must know what you want to produce and why. Another important principle to keep in mind is the accuracy of the EPD. As a seed stock producer, you should know if you are selecting a bull for your seed stock herd or a commercial beef herd. While your first reaction might be that it does not matter, I would strongly disagree. A breeder selecting a prospective sire for breeding seed stock cannot afford to use a

bull with a low accuracy. Let’s look at bull A with EPDs of 41 pounds and with an accuracy of .74. One would expect that the EPD on average would be 41 pounds +/- 4 pounds; therefore, the calves should average weaning from 37 pounds to 45 pounds on average. Bull B with an EPD of 44 pounds and an accuracy of .5 will have offsprings that will average 44 pounds +/- 7 pounds. In other words, the predictability of expectation is not as great so the likely outcome has a wider range of expectation 37 to 51 pounds on average. To take this further, the lower the accuracy the greater the spread on expectation.

As a seed stock producer, accuracy is equally important as the EPD value because expectation should be high. A low accuracy bull expectation may have much more variation than one would want. The commercial producer may not have a choice when selecting bulls because he cannot wait to prove out a bull nor afford to buy a highly proven bull. The seed stock producer must know what his goals and expectations are and which animals are more likely to produce the desired outcome. It is very simple. A low accuracy EPD bull is like going to a gambling casino and betting that if you play long enough you will get lucky. We simply know that the odds are against us. A high accuracy EPD bull increases the chance of success, therefore reducing the chance of failure.

A bull with a pedigree EPD has the lowest accuracy since the EPD prediction is based on the parents and not on its own genetic merits. The genetic merits will not be determined until the bull has his own data and his breeding value will not be known until he produces offsprings. Therefore, the accuracy is the lowest when based on pedigree alone and highest when offsprings are produced which is the direct proof of a bull.

In the future with the use of DNA markers and producing a genomic assisted EPD, the accuracy of EPDs will increase earlier in the life cycle because the DNA markers will be able to establish whether an offspring has inherited the appropriate gene to effect traits as desired. The tool for selection in the future will still be the EPD not the DNA test. The DNA test will only enhance the EPDs.

Las DEP – unos pocos principios sencillos

by DR. JOSEPH MASSEY Cuanto más aprendemos de las DEP, tanto más problemas tenemos en entender como usarlas. Los principios importantes que tratan con las DEP son que podemos comparar a dos animales diferentes con respecto a la expectativa de su desempeño. Se me ha penetrado en mis procesos de pensamiento que no importa lo que es el valor absoluto sino cuáles son las diferencias entre dos animales. Por ejemplo, cuando se evalúan dos sementales posibles para el peso al destete, el toro A con una DEP para el peso al destete de 41 libras comparado con el toro B con una DEP para el peso al destete de 44 libras, se puede esperar que la progenie del toro B, tendrá un promedio de 3 libras de pesos al destete más que la progenie del toro A. No sería de importancia si ambos de estos toros producen becerros en el centro de Texas o en el noroeste de la Florida; el toro B, en promedio, siempre producirá becerros con 3 libras más de peso al destete que el toro A. Las DEP se usan para seleccionar o para comparar animales que uno quizás quiera usar en su programa de cría. Por lo tanto, usted como criador, debe saber cuáles son sus metas. Las DEP sirven de guía al seleccionar sus animales de cría, pero usted tiene que saber lo que quiere producir y por qué. Otro principio importante es recordar la exactitud de las DEP. Como productor de pie de cría, usted debería saber si está seleccionando un toro para su hato de raza pura o para su hato de vacunos comerciales de carne.

Aunque su primera reacción podría ser que no importa, yo estaría totalmente en desacuerdo. Un criador que selecciona un semental posible para la cría de animales de raza pura no puede darse el lujo de usar un toro de baja exactitud. Miremos al toro A con las DEP

de 41 libras y con una exactitud de 0.74. Se espera que la DEP sería de 41 libras ± 4 libras, en promedio; por lo tanto, los becerros deberían tener pesos al destete entre 37 y 45 libras, en promedio. El toro B, con una DEP de 44 libras y una exactitud de 0.5, producirá progenie que de 44 libras ± 7 libras, en promedio. En otras palabras, la previsibilidad de la expectativa no es tan grande y por lo tanto, el resultado probable tiene una gama más amplia de expectativas entre 37 y 51 libras, en promedio. Para llevarlo más lejos, cuanto menor es la exactitud, tanto mayor será la gama de expectativas.

Como productor de animales de raza pura, la exactitud es tan importante como el valor de la DEP porque la expectativa debería ser alta. La expectativa de un toro con baja exactitud podría tener mucha más variación de lo que uno quisiera tener. El productor comercial quizá no tenga una opción al seleccionar toros porque no puede esperar para comprobar un toro ni se puede dar el lujo de comprar un toro altamente comprobado. El productor de animales de raza pura debe saber cuáles son sus metas y expectativas y cuáles animales son los que más probablemente producirán el resultado deseado. Es bien sencillo. Un toro con una DEP de baja exactitud es como ir a un casino y apostar que si se juega por suficientes horas, uno tendrá suerte y ganará. Sabemos muy bien que la probabilidad de ganar va en contra nuestro. Un toro con una DEP de alta exactitud aumenta la probabilidad de éxito y por lo tanto, reduce la probabilidad de un fracaso.

El toro con una DEP genealógica únicamente tiene la menor exactitud ya que el pronóstico de la DEP se basa en los padres y no en su propio mérito genético. El mérito genético no se determinará hasta que el toro tiene sus propios datos y su valor de cría no se sabrá hasta que produce progenie. Por lo tanto, la exactitud es al nivel más bajo cuando se basa en su genealogía solamente y al nivel más alto cuando se produce su progenie, lo cual es la prueba directa de un toro.

En el futuro, con el uso de los marcadores de ADN y cuando se produce una DEP con ayuda del genoma, la exactitud de las DEP aumentará a una época más temprana del ciclo de vida porque los marcadores de ADN podrán establecer si una progenie ha heredado el gen apropiado para afectar las características que se desean.

El método de selección para el futuro seguirá siendo la DEP y no el análisis del ADN. El análisis del ADN sólo mejorará las DEP.

Off and Running Well these are certainly exciting times to be in the cattle business and specifically a great time to be involved with Brangus. Record high prices across the board, limited supply of Brangus cattle and demand from the consumer that isn’t wavering. In my country it’s nearly impossible to find a 2 year old bull. The commercial cattle operations are snatching up young bulls as soon as you’re willing to sell them. Commercial Brangus females are bringing great prices right off the ranch with more demand than supply. There is little doubt that commercial cattlemen want Brangus cattle.

I find it extremely encouraging to see the consignment sales making a come back. The only downside has been finding cattle available for the sales. Here in Texas two recent sales illustrate that point to me. A consignment sale in Abilene Texas saw 36 bulls go for an average of $3102 dollars and all but one sold to commercial buyers. If you’re asking “Why only 36?”, that was all the sale manager could find after scouring the membership and countryside.

Those wonderful commercial Brangus females sold for an average

of $1592 for pairs, and bred females bought $1232. Those are prices a cattleman can make money on.

Texas Brangus Breeders had a registered sale in Salado Texas that saw the 1 bull in the sale bring $7250. The registered females brought in averages of $1800 for open cows, bred females $2182 and pairs $2464. Once again these are amounts that a breeder can make money on.

Take advantage of these consignment sales when you can, they are a great way to expose both registered and commercial cattle folks to your operation. Remember a few important points when entering a consignment sale; your responsibility for that animal doesn’t stop when the sale manager picks it for the sale. Deliver it in excellent condition, it is a reflection on what you’re doing with your cow herd. Make sure you present that animal in the best light - trim it up. Put as much information as you can in the catalog and on the stall they’re in - the more information, the better. Work the stall yourself, welcome people, ask if you can provide information not only about the animal for sale, but what you’re doing back at your ranch with your herd. These are only a few recommendations; visit with the sale manager for other ideas.

The negatives to our operations still center on cost of feed, fuel and fertilizer so watching your bottom line remains important.

Take every advantage to reduce your cost without jeopardizing the quality of your cattle. Transfer your bulls. Use the OptimaxX and Brangus Gold tags, and if they fit your programs the branded programs the Association has been working on. Remember you’re never too old to learn, so take advantage of the articles in our publications as well as others to keep yourself up to date with what is happening in the industry and ways to increase your bottom line.

When I first got in the business I was told this “Be clear about what you’re doing and who you’re going to be doing it with. Commercial cattleman are going to be your primary market find out what they want, what is important to them in the bulls they buy and the replacement females they seek. Raise cattle that fit your environment. Watch your cost and be realist about what the market will pay. Don’t sell anything you wouldn’t buy and pray for rain.” bj ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Angelo is actively involved in the ranching business running a herd of Registered and Commercial Brangus cattle on ranches in Hamilton and Mills Countries, Texas.

Off and Running Bien, ciertamente que éstas son épocas emocionantes para el negocio ganadero y específicamente una época excelente para estar involucrado con la raza Brangus. Precios de récord en todos lados, un abasto limitado de ganado Brangus y una demanda sin cesar por parte del consumidor. En mi país, es casi imposible encontrar un toro de dos años de edad. Las operaciones ganaderas comerciales están arrebatando los toros jóvenes ni bien alguien esté dispuesto a venderlos. Las hembras Brangus comerciales están trayendo muy buenos precios directamente en el rancho con más demanda que oferta. No hay duda que los productores comerciales quieren más ganado Brangus.

Lo encuentro muy alentador que las subastas en consignación están empezando a resurgir. La única negativa ha sido encontrar ganado que se quiera consignar a esas subastas. Aquí en Texas, dos subastas recientes ilustran esto. En una subasta en consignación de Abilene, TX, se vendieron 36 toros a un promedio de US$3,102 y todos fueron comprados por compradores comerciales, menos uno. Si usted pregunta, “¿Por qué sólo 36?” es porque el gerente de la subasta no pudo encontrar más después de buscar entre todos los miembros y por todo el campo. Las maravillosas hembras Brangus comerciales se vendieron a un promedio de $1,592 (con becerro al pie) y las hembras preñadas a $1,232. Con esos precios, un ganadero puede ganar dinero.

La Asociación de Criadores de Brangus de Texas tuvo una subasta de animales registrados en Salado, TX, que vendió un toro a $7,250. Las hembras de registro fueron vendidas a promedios de: $1,800 para vacas vacías, $2,182 para vacas preñadas y $2,464

para vacas con becerro al pie. Una vez más, éstas son cantidades con las cuales un criador puede ganar dinero.

Aproveche estas subastas en consignación cuando pueda, son una excelente manera de exponer su operación a los productores de animales tanto registrados como comerciales. Recuerde algunos puntos importantes cuando coloca animales en una subasta en consignación: su responsabilidad por ese animal no desaparece cuando el gerente de la subasta lo selecciona para la misma; entréguelo en condiciones sobresalientes – es un reflejo de lo que usted está haciendo con su hato de vacas; asegúrese de presentar al animal de la mejor manera posible – límpielo; ponga toda la información que pueda en el catálogo y en el compartimiento en que se encuentra – cuanto más información, mejor; esté usted mismo afuera del compartimiento – deles la bienvenida a los que pasan y pregunte si les puede dar información no solo sobre el animal que está en venta, sino sobre el hato que usted tiene en el rancho. Éstas son sólo unas pocas recomendaciones; hable con el gerente de la subasta para otras ideas más.

Las negativas de nuestras operaciones siguen siendo el costo de los alimentos, del combustible y del fertilizante, de modo que es muy importante que sigamos conscientes del balance final. Aproveche cada oportunidad que tiene para reducir sus costos sin arriesgar la calidad de su ganado. Transfiera sus toros. Use los herretes Optimax X y Brangus Gold y si encajan con sus programas, use los programas de marcas registradas con que viene trabajando la Asociación. Recuerde uno nunca es demasiado viejo para aprender algo nuevo, por lo tanto, aproveche los artículos en nuestras publicaciones así como en otras publicaciones y manténgase al día con lo que está ocurriendo en la industria y las maneras en que usted puede aumentar su balance final.

Cuando primero entré a este negocio, se me dijo lo siguiente: “Debes saber claramente lo que quieres hacer y con quién lo quieres hacer. Los ganaderos comerciales serán tu mercado principal, por lo tanto, entérate de lo que ellos necesitan, lo que ellos consideran importante en los toros que compran y en las hembras de reemplazo que buscan. Cría ganado adaptado a tu ambiente. Cuida tus costos y sé realista con respecto a lo que el mercado pagará.

No vendas nada que no quisieras comprar y reza para que llueva.” bj ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Angelo is actively involved in the ranching business running a herd of Registered and Commercial Brangus cattle on ranches in Hamilton and Mills Countries, Texas.

Marketing Update

by Ben Spitzer, IBBA Marketing Programs Director If one looks at markets, economies, politics, policies and environmental challenges that beef producers across the globe are facing, on thing is certain, CHANGE. In my opinion, the Global Beef Industry will see more changes in the next 10 years than we have in the last 100. One thing is certain in these dynamic times; the speed at which we must educate ourselves, communicate and do business is constantly increasing.

In the next several months, the staff at IBBA will be rolling out several new opportunities for you to get information and have new avenues to highlight your individual programs. Here are just a few examples.

BrangusLIST Now Live… USE IT!

After working through a few unexpected programming problems, BrangusLIST is now live. We have a few listings but need more to really get it going. Take a look at what is available and then add a listing of your own.

If you missed the information on its release, here it is again: Need a source for Brangus Bulls? Looking for Brangus Gold Commercial Females? Considering expanding your seedstock operation with Registered Females, Semen or Embryos? BrangusLIST is your source for finding and marketing Brangus genetics.

Brangus Marketing Programs staff receives calls on a weekly basis from individuals looking for Brangus genetics. We would love to have a single listing service to direct them to where they can find them. Up until now, we didn’t have that place. So, we made it. Best of all, it’s FREE! BrangusLIST is an online listing service hosted by the International Brangus Breeders Association. Brangus customers and IBBA members have a free place to advertise as well as source Brangus influence females, find bulls, feeder calves, semen and embryos.

Listing cattle is easy. Users just log on to www.GoBrangus.com and fill out a simple form, then IBBA staff double check for accuracy and post the listing. Users who don’t have internet access can take advantage by calling Brangus Marketing Programs staff and we can help.

This is a great opportunity to supply the beef industry with predictable, adaptable, profitable Brangus genetics.

not invite your bull customers as well? This would be an excellent customer service opportunity! Look for more details in future issues online and in your email inbox.

Brangus Cattlemen’s Central at NCBA

The next several years will see cattlemen and companies from all segments of the beef industry from across the United States and the World come to your backyard. The 2012 NCBA Annual Cattlemen’s Convention and Trade Show will be in Nashville, TN. As outlined in the promotions committee meeting in March, IBBA will have a much larger presence at the NCBA Trade Show.

We will create an area for IBBA members to highlight their programs, large and small, to the industry and visit with key players from across all segments of the beef supply chain. This is an excellent opportunity to expose your program to thousands of prospective customers. Contact Brangus Marketing Programs staff to find out how you can participate.

Global Brangus Roundup

It is never too early to put the 2012 Brangus Global Roundup on your calendar. Look for information on this year’s successful program in this issue of the Brangus Journal. The Roundup is a great opportunity to highlight your program as well as find new opportunities and forge new friendships. Look for more information in the coming months on www.GoBrangus.com, the IBBA Facebook page, and future issues of the Brangus Journal.

As you can see, there are tremendous opportunities to learn about the Beef Industry as well as market your program to the US and the rest of the World. IBBA staff will be rolling out even more in the coming months. Let us know what you think and take advantage of the opportunities. bj

Florida Beef Excellence Institute

In response to the great success of last year’s Beef 706 presented

by Texas A&M and the Texas Beef Council, IBBA will be hosting a similar program in conjunction with the University of Florida and the Florida Beef Council called the Florida Beef Excellence Institute. This will be July 18th and 19th in Gainesville, FL. This will be an excellent opportunity for producers to get a firsthand knowledge of beef cattle slaughter and processing. We will have presentations from industry experts on Beef Quality, Food Safety, Carcass Fabrication and other important topics from industry leaders.

Make plans now to attend by calling Brangus Marketing Programs staff at 210-696-8231 or email ben@int-brangus.org. Why 14 | May/June 2011

Marketing Update

by Ben Spitzer, IBBA Marketing Programs Director Al observar los mercados, las economías, políticas, normas y desafíos ambientales que enfrentan los productores de carne de res en todo el mundo, solo una cosa es segura – el CAMBIO. En mi opinión, la industria global de la carne de res verá más cambios en los próximos 10 años que los cambios que hemos visto en los últimos 100 años. Una cosa es indiscutible en estas épocas dinámicas – la velocidad a que nos debemos educar, comunicar y hacer negocios aumenta constantemente.

En los próximos meses, el personal de IBBA estará sacando varias oportunidades nuevas para que usted pueda obtener información y tener avenidas nuevas para destacar sus programas individuales. Aquí ofrecemos solo unos pocos ejemplos.

Ahora en vivo...BrangusLIST ¡USÉMOSLA!

Después de solucionar algunos problemas inesperados de programación, BrangusLIST ahora está en vivo. Tenemos algunos listados pero necesitamos más para ponerla bien en marcha. Fíjese de lo que está disponible y luego agregue su propio listado.

Si no vio la información a su lanzamiento, aquí está de nuevo: ¿Necesita una fuente de toros Brangus? ¿Busca hembras comerciales Brangus Gold? ¿Está considerando agrandar su operación de pie de cría de raza pura con hembras, semen y embriones registrados? BrangusLIST es su fuente para encontrar y comercializar la genética Brangus.

El personal de los Programas de Comercialización Brangus recibe llamadas todas las semanas de personas buscando genética Brangus. Nos gustaría mucho tener un solo servicio de listados a la que los podemos dirigir para encontrar lo que necesitan. Hasta hace poco no lo hemos tenido.

Ahora, lo hemos logrado. Y lo mejor es que ¡es GRATUITO! BrangusLIST es un servicio de listados en línea patrocinado por la International Brangus Breeders Association - IBBA. Los socios de la IBBA tienen un lugar gratuito para hacer publicidad y los clientes tienen una fuente para hembras, toros, becerros de engorda, semen y embriones con influencia Brangus.

Es fácil listar ganado. Los usuarios solo entran al sistema en www.GoBrangus.com y llenan un formulario sencillo, luego el personal de IBBA verifica la exactitud y coloca el listado. Los usuarios que no tienen acceso a la internet pueden llamar al personal de los Programas de Comercialización Brangus y ellos les ayudarán. Ésta es una buena oportunidad para abastecer a la industria de la carne de res con genética Brangus predecible, adaptable y rentable.

Florida Beef Excellence Institute – Instituto para excelencia en la carne de res en Florida

En respuesta al enorme éxito del programa Beef 706 del año pasado, presentado por la Universidad Texas A&M y el Texas Beef Council (Consejo texano de la carne de res), IBBA estará patrocinando un programa similar junto con la Universidad de la Florida, que se ha denominado el Instituto para excelencia en la carne de res en Florida. El Instituto tendrá lugar el 18 y 19 de julio en Gainesville, Florida. Ésta

16 | May/June 2011

Brangus Journal

será una buena oportunidad para que los productores reciben conocimientos directos acerca del sacrificio y procesamiento del ganado de carne. Habrá presentaciones por los expertos en la industria sobre la calidad de la carne de res, la seguridad de los alimentos, la fabricación de la canal y otros tópicos importantes .

Haga sus planes ahora para asistir, llamando al personal de los Programas de Comercialización Brangus al 210-696-8231 o a la dirección electrónica ben@int-brangus.org. También puede invitar a sus clientes que le compran toros. Ésta sería una excelente oportunidad para servicios al cliente. Fíjese en los próximos detalles en las ediciones futuras en línea y en su correo electrónico.

Central Brangus para ganaderos en la NCBA

En los próximos años se verá que ganaderos y empresas de todos los segmentos de la industria de la carne de res de todo Estados Unidos y del mundo, nos estarán consultando. El Congreso y la Feria Comercial NCBA Anual para Ganaderos tendrá lugar en Nashville, Tennessee, en el año 2012.

Tal como se delineó por el Comité de Publicidad en la reunión de marzo, IBBA tendrá una presencia mucho mayor en la Feria Comercial NCBA. Tenemos planeado crear una zona para que los socios de IBBA pueden destacar sus programas, grandes y pequeños, a la industria y visitar con los jugadores claves de todos los segmentos de la cadena de abasto de carne de res. Ésta es una excelente oportunidad para exhibir su programa a miles de clientes presuntos. Comuníquese con el personal de los Programas de Comercialización para enterarse de cómo puede participar.

“Round-up” global Brangus

Ya es hora de incluir el “Round-up” global Brangus para 2012 en su calendario. Lea la información sobre el programa exitoso de este año en esta edición del Brangus Journal. Este evento es una óptima oportunidad para destacar su programa así como para encontrar oportunidades de ventas nuevas y forjar nuevas amistades. Fíjese en la información de los meses venideros en www.GoBrangus.com, en la página Facebook de la IBBA, y en ediciones futuras del Brangus Journal.

Como puede ver, hay muchísimas oportunidades para aprender sobre la industria de la carne de res, así como para comercializar su programa en los Estados Unidos y en el resto del mundo. El personal de la IBBA estará lanzando aún más oportunidades e ideas en los próximos meses. Díganos lo que piensa y aproveche estas oportunidades. bj

IBBA Goes Global

by Marcos Borges Chairman, International marketing Committee The International Brangus Breeder Association is working hard to shorten the distance between us and to link you to one of the most progressive associations that provides a variety of innovative services.

To reach this objective, IBBA started many international trade missions in 2008 with very good information to update you with the latest technologies and advancements implemented by our members and our association.

IBBA and its breeders are utilizing the latest technology, including an Internet based registry, DNA marker assisted selection practices, and the development of economic indexes to constantly improve the Brangus product.

Total Herd Reporting (THR) provides Brangus breeders and their customers with the most accurate data possible and provides a truer picture of where the performance of each registered animal stands in relation to its individual herd and to the breed as a whole.

IBBA offers you the genetics of both black and red registered Brangus cattle which are 3/8 Brahman and 5/8 Angus. The flexibility to incorporate other percentages of Brangus, Angus and Brahman genetics into your program as required, is available through Certified ¼, ½, and ¾ Brahman x Angus parents.

IBBA was the first association to incorporate carcass EPDs through ultrasound evaluation. Carcass merit is definitely a strength the breed can bring to your operation. In today’s economy, cattle must excel on the rail and be a product desired by the consumer. Brangus cattle routinely grade Choice and produce a pleasant eating experience. In addition, Brangus cattle are readily accepted in most branded beef quality programs. This opportunity is available to any individual breeder of Brangus cattle outside the United States.In order to better serve the beef cattle industry, IBBA has developed the most comprehensive and searchable Internet animal database available to producers. The IBBA web site: www.int-brangus.org is available online anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The searchable database is accessible to cattle producers throughout the world so that they may research pedigrees, individual performance data, lifetime production records and expected progeny differences for genetics that will meet the producer’s needs.

An IBBA Global Membership provides:

• Access to the most comprehensive Brangus performance database in the world • IBBA Expected Progeny Differences – you will be able to directly compare your genetics to animals in the U.S. and in other countries • Real-time data reporting and data retrieval – any time of day • Access to performance programs through the Internet – you input your own data and pull your own reports (performance reports, herd management reports, EPD reports, pedigrees, etc.)

20 | May/June 2011

Brangus Journal

• A subscription to the Brangus Journal • No IBBA registration or transfer services – only your local breed association can provide these services.

Becoming an IBBA Global Member is Easy:

• The IBBA Global Membership costs just $75 annually • IBBA Global Members participate in Total Herd Reporting (THR) for accurate performance evaluation • Annual THR fee = $10 per breeding age animal ($2 of this fee are rebated directly back to your local breed association) • THR requires a production record for every cow every year (complete Global Member THR rules can be found at www. int-brangus.org) • An IBBA Global Membership is PAPER-FREE! You enter your own data and retrieve the performance information you need whenever you want via the IBBA web-based performance system

We are bringing the IBBA to you and supporting your local association to promote and improve the Brangus breed. Keep an eye on our website to check our events because we might be in your country soon with our IBBA International Presentations. We will be available to answer your questions and help you to connect with our members and services.

We also sponsor many exciting events in the U.S. IBBA would like to particularly invite you to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and IBBA’s international events and the Brangus Round Up events. We are bringing the IBBA cattle to you! Leading IBBA breeders of Brangus and Red Brangus from across the U.S. display example females and herd sires from their breeding programs in a special showcase program. Join other Brangus breeders from around the world to view some of the best Brangus genetics to be found on any continent in a relaxing and fun atmosphere. In 2011 we had over 350 guests.

Plan to join IBBA and Brangus breeders from around the world at the next Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

Then stay over for the….

GLOBAL BRANGUS ROUNDUP Please contact us if you have any question regards our events and services. We speak Spanish and would very much like to hear from you. bj

Brangus Cattle

Around the World

by Marcos Borges Chairman, International marketing As you are aware the International Committee remains a key driving force to determining the success and long-term viability of the International Brangus Breeders Association and the Brangus breed internationally.

IBBA is working to improve the recognition of the Brangus’ strengths in this region. As the producers of this region begin to include carcass and reproduction quality attributes into their breeding programs, Brangus will see increased marketing opportunities.

With the new approach that IBBA and its International Committee has implemented, we already can see a substantial increase in international demand for Brangus genetics.

Here is a chart provided by NABB that clearly shows a 300% growth of our international semen sale between 2008-2010. (International Committee activities started in 2007.)

tina you can see a trend that Brangus should become the optimum breed for cross breeding programs.

Brangus is suited to adding value to the commercial herds of all parts Central America, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Australia.

Brangus Cattle

Around the World Continued....

Mexico, Central and South America are particularly well suited to beef cattle production because of rich soils, abundant rainfall and an extended growing season. The tropical or subtropical nature of these regions dictate that the cattle carry some percentage of Zebu breeding in order to better handle the challenges of heat, humidity and insects. The Zebu genetics offer heat and parasite resistance and the Angus offers meat quality and, of course, is totally adapted to this type of cattle country.

The cross breeding of the Zebu breed with the Angus began in South America starting in the early 1940s with livestock of British origin, which were mainly introduced in the traditional cattle grazing areas of the Province of Misiones and the Lower Chaco, at ranches which are still developing the Brangus as a breed.

The Brazilian Brangus Association was founded in January 1979 by a group of breeders of Cinco Cruzes de Bagé. With the growth of the breed in Brazil, the members decided to create the Brazilian association.

South American Brangus Cattle numbers are increasing rapidly.

Paraguay alone increased by 38.5% in the last 17 years, according to the latest agriculture census.

Lack of product awareness and lack of knowledge in some countries is a major challenge. Our promotional material is intended to educate the producers in Central America, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Australia as to the many advantages of Brangus cattle and assure them they may contact the International Brangus Breeders Association for assistance in locating superior genetics. This promotional material is being promoted and distributed through various trade missions by IBBA, TDA, Genetic Leaders International, Inc., as well as being distributed to foreign guests in the U.S. and by mail to the numerous inquiries.

Here is some good information for you to adjust your program to increase exposure to the international market.

The most important marketing activity to consider for building demand in Latin American markets is to travel to the country that you are interested in to build the demand for your genetics; and personally get to know your clients and their needs. Before you travel to another country, always research their climate, environment, forages, nutrition requirements, frame score and culture.

Take good promotional materials, in their language, that will detail the many advantages of your Brangus program and always make sure you travel with someone that is from that country or who knows the people, culture and market. It will save you years with regard to your goal of building up demand. Contact IBBA’s International Committee as its members can and will save you a lot of headaches. You can also contact the local Brangus association in the country you plan to visit. If there isn’t a local association, you can ask the US Embassy in that country to direct you to some of the local market’s key players.

USLGE – www.uslge.org, GO TEXAN- www.gotexan.orgParticipate in IBBA’s International Committee.

22 | May/June 2011

Brangus Journal

Doing business with Latin Americans is a little different from doing business with North Americans. People from Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America prefer more interaction and entertainment while doing business. First, they develop a relationship and friendship, then they may do business. When you are ready to negotiate, don’t forget to put everything on paper because some of the negotiations can take time. Export protocols, health regulations, freights, etc., can delay the shipment, and details of the deal may be forgotten. Make sure that your veterinarian palpates and checks the soundness of the animals you export.

Since international buyers are paying good money for the animals selected and will have to pay freight and other expenses, they cannot afford to have any problems. Remember to always stand behind your product – that means guarantee your animals in the event of any reproduction problems. You do not want your international client to have anything bad to say about your operation because in their country, they are a close community, and a bad comment can terminate your business in that country.

We must also continue to improve upon IBBA’s annual events during the Houston Livestock Show; creating incentives that encourage foreign breeders to come to the U.S., will help expose more of our members to this market, as well as to better showcase the extensive selection of Brangus genetics available in the U.S. I would like to encourage our members to be part of our international events. We have a few events during the Houston Livestock Show that are very, very important to serious Brangus breeders. Houston is becoming the place to meet the whole Brangus community. In 2010 we had over 350 guests and the events will grow. Let’s work together to make this breed the most popular breed in the tropics. Participate with your presence and your cattle at the Brangus Round Up. Let’s forget our differences and just consider what really matters: The Brangus breed . If the quality of our cattle and our services continues to improve we will have a good chance that our children will have a solid future being involved with the Brangus breed. bj

IBBA se extiende globalmente

by Marcos Borges Chairman, International marketing Committee La International Brangus Breeder Association - IBBA está trabajando mucho para acortar la distancia entre todos nosotros y para vincularlos a una de las asociaciones más progresistas que proporciona una variedad de servicios innovadores.

Para lograr este objetivo, en 2008, IBBA inició muchas delegaciones comerciales con muy buena información para actualizarlo con las últimas tecnologías y avances implementados por nuestros miembros y nuestra asociación.

IBBA y sus socios criadores están utilizando tecnología de vanguardia, incluso un registro basado en la internet, prácticas de selección asistidas por marcadores de ADN, y el desarrollo de índices económicos para mejorar el producto Brangus constantemente.

Total Herd Reporting (THR – información sobre el hato entero) proporciona a los criadores de Brangus y a sus clientes los datos más exactos posibles y muestra un cuadro más preciso acerca de dónde se sitúa el desempeño de cada animal registrado en relación a su hato individual y a la raza en general.

IBBA le ofrece genética de animales registrados de pelajes tanto negros como rojos de la raza Brangus, la cual consta de 3/8 Brahman y 5/8 Angus. La flexibilidad de poder incorporar otros porcentajes de genética Brangus, Angus y Brahman en su programa según sea necesario, está a su disposición a través de padres certificados 1/4, 1/2 y 3/4 Brahman x Angus.

IBBA fue la primera asociación en incorporar las DEP de la canal mediante evaluación con ecografía. El mérito de la canal es definitivamente una virtud que esta raza puede aportar a su operación. En la economía de hoy en día, el ganado debe destacarse en el gancho y ser un producto deseado por el consumidor. El ganado Brangus rutinariamente recibe la clasificación de calidad Choice y su apetecibilidad es alta. Además, el ganado Brangus es fácilmente aceptado por la mayoría de los programas de marca por la calidad de la carne de res. Esta oportunidad está al alcance de todo criador individual de ganado Brangus fuera de Estados Unidos.

Para servir mejor a la industria del ganado de carne, IBBA ha desarrollado la base de datos más exhaustiva y de búsqueda fácil para sus animales que existe en la internet, a disposición de los productores.

La página Web de la IBBA: www.int-brangus.org se encuentra desde cualquier parte del mundo, 24 horas por día, siete días por semana.

La base de datos de búsqueda fácil es accesible a productores de ganado de carne de todo el mundo para que puedan investigar la genealogía, los datos sobre su desempeño individual, registros de la producción de toda la vida y las diferencias esperadas de la progenie (DEP) para la genética que mejor satisfará los requisitos de ese productor.

Ser socio global de la IBBA le proporciona:

• Acceso a la base de datos más exhaustiva del mundo acerca del desempeño de los Brangus • Las diferencias esperadas de la progenie (DEP) de la IBBA – usted podrá comparar directamente su genética a los animales en Estados Unidos y en otros países.

24 | May/June 2011

Brangus Journal

• Informes y recuperación de datos en tiempo verdadero – a cualquier momento del día • Acceso a los programas de desempeño en la internet – usted le da entrada a sus propios datos y prepara sus propios informes (de desempeño, de manejo del hato, de las DEP, de la genealogía, etc.)

• Una suscripción a la revista The Brangus Journal • IBBA no puede prestar servicios de registro ni de transferencia de animales – solamente su asociación de ganaderos local puede proporcionar dichos servicios.

Hacerse socio global de la IBBA es fácil:

• Hacerse socio global de la IBBA cuesta sólo US$75 por año • Los socios globales de la IBBA participan en el programa Total Herd Reporting (THR) para obtener evaluaciones exactas de desempeño • La cuota anual para el THR es de US$10 por animal en edad de reproducción (US$2 de esta cuota se reembolsa directamente a su asociación de ganaderos local) • THR exige un registro de producción de cada vaca todos los años (las reglas completas del programa THR para socios globales se encuentran en www.int-brangus.org) • Un socio global de la IBBA ¡se deshace del papel! Usted entra sus propios datos y recupera la información de desempeño que necesita cuando quiera hacerlo a través del sistema de desempeño de la IBBA basado en la Web. IBBA ofrece sus servicios a los socios globales y apoya a las respectivas asociaciones locales para fomentar y mejorar la raza Brangus.

Fíjese en nuestra página Web para ver la lista de eventos; es posible que estemos en su país de aquí a poco con nuestras presentaciones internacionales. Estaremos disponibles para contestar preguntas y ayudarle a conectarse con nuestros socios y servicios.

También estamos patrocinando muchos eventos en Estados Unidos. IBBA quisiera convidarlos especialmente a la Exposición Ganadera de Houston y los eventos internacionales de la IBBA, así como los eventos del “Round Up” del Brangus. ¡Les estamos trayendo nuestro ganado! Los criadores líderes de la IBBA, de Brangus y de Brangus Rojo de todo Estados Unidos exhiben hembras y sementales de hato, ejemplares de sus programas de cría en un escaparate especial. Únase a los demás criadores de Brangus de todas partes del mundo para ver ejemplares de la mejor genética Brangus que se encuentra en cualquier continente, en un ambiente divertido y relajante. En 2011 hubo más de 350 convidados.

No deje de asociarse con la IBBA y los criadores mundiales del Brangus en la próxima Exposición Ganadera y Rodeo de Houston.

EL GANADO BRANGUS

ALREDEDOR DEL MUNDO

by Marcos Borges Chairman, International marketing Committee Como ustedes ya saben el Comité Internacional sigue siendo la fuerza clave que determina el éxito y la viabilidad a largo plazo de la Asociación Internacional de Criadores de Brangus – IBBA, así como de la raza Brangus a nivel internacional.

IBBA está actuando para mejorar el reconocimiento de las virtudes de la raza Brangus en ese ámbito. A medida que los productores de esta región van incluyendo los atributos de calidad de la canal y de la reproducción a sus programas de cría, el Brangus tendrá mayores oportunidades de comercialización.

Con el nuevo enfoque que la IBBA y su Comité Internacional ha implementado, ya podemos ver un gran aumento en la demanda internacional por la genética Brangus.

La gráfica a continuación fue suministrada por NABB y claramente demuestra un 300% de aumento en la venta de semen al exterior entre los años 2008 y 2010. (El Comité Internacional inició sus actividades en 2007.)

Datos suministrados por NABB http://www.naab-css.org/sales/ table_list.html En todos los países a los cuales se ha llevado la raza Brangus, los números están creciendo tremendamente. Desde México hasta

la Argentina, se puede ver la tendencia de que el Brangus debería pasar a ser la raza óptima para los programas de cruzamiento.

La raza Brangus agrega valor a los hatos comerciales en todas partes de Centroamérica, México, Argentina, Brasil, Colombia y Australia. Particularmente bien adaptados a la producción de ganado de carne están México, Centroamérica y Sudamérica debido a los suelos buenos, la lluvia abundante y la prolongada estación de crecimiento. La naturaleza tropical o subtropical de estas regiones dicta que el ganado bovino tenga cierto porcentaje de genética cebuina para mejor aguantar los desafíos del calor, la humedad y los insectos. La genética Cebú ofrece resistencia al calor y a los parásitos y la genética Angus ofrece la calidad de la carne y por supuesto, su total adaptabilidad a este tipo de tierras ganaderas.

EL GANADO BRANGUS

ALREDEDOR DEL MUNDO Continued....

Los cruzamientos de las razas cebuinas con el Angus comenzó en Sudamérica, empezando a principios de los 1940, con ganado de origen británico, que se llevó mayormente, a las zonas de pastoreo de la provincia de Misiones y los bajíos del Chaco en la Argentina; en esas estancias se sigue desarrollando la raza Brangus.

La Asociación Brangus Brasileña fue fundada en enero de 1979 por un grupo de criadores de Cinco Cruzes de Bagé debido al crecimiento de la raza en Brasil.

Los números del ganado Brangus en Sudamérica están aumentando rápidamente. Paraguay solamente ha aumentado un 38.5% en los últimos 17 años, conforme al último censo agrícola.

La falta de conscientización y conocimiento del producto en algunos países es un gran desafío. Nuestros materiales de publicidad pretenden educar a los productores de Centroamérica, Norteamérica, Sudamérica y Australia con respecto a las muchas ventajas del ganado Brangus y asegurarles de que se pueden comunicar con la IBBA para obtener asistencia en localizar genética de primera calidad. Este material de promoción se está distribuyendo a través de varias delegaciones comerciales por la IBBA, el TDA y Genetic Leaders International, Inc.; además se distribuye a visitantes extranjeros a los Estados Unidos y por correo en respuesta a las numerosas averiguaciones.

Aquí les ofrecemos buena información para que usted pueda ajustar su programa y así aumentar su exposición al mercado internacional.

La actividad de comercialización más importante que se debería considerar para fomentar una demanda en los mercados latinoamericanos es viajar al país que le interesa para así promover la demanda de su genética, así como llegar a conocer a sus clientes y los requisitos de ellos personalmente. Antes de viajar a otro país, investigue el clima, ambiente, forrajes, requisitos de nutrición, puntuación del tamaño esquelético y la cultura. Llévese buenos materiales de promoción, en el idioma de ese país, que detallarán las muchas ventajas de su programa Brangus; y siempre asegúrese que esté viajando con alguien que es de o que vive en ese país o quien conoce bien la gente, la cultura y el mercado. Usted se ahorrará años con respecto a su meta de fomentar una demanda.

Comuníquese con el Comité Internacional de IBBA ya que sus miembros le pueden ahorrar muchos dolores de cabeza. Usted también se puede comunicar con la asociación Brangus local del país que planea visitar. Si no existe una asociación local, le puede pedir a la Embajada de Estados Unidos de América en ese país que lo dirija a algunos de las personas claves del mercado local.

USLGE – www.uslge.org, GO TEXAN- www.gotexan.org – Participe en el Comité Internacional de IBBA. Hacer negocios con latinoamericanos es algo diferente que hacer negocios con norteamericanos. La gente de México, del Caribe, Centroamérica y Sudamérica prefieren más interacción personal y entretenimiento al hacer negocios. Primero, ellos desarrollan una relación tanto personal como comercial, luego, quizás estén listos para hacer negocios. Cuando usted esté listo para negociar, no se 26 | May/June 2011

Brangus Journal

olvide de tener todo lo acordado por escrito, porque algunas de las negociaciones pueden tardar bastante tiempo. Los protocoles de exportación, los reglamentos de sanidad animal, el transporte, etc., pueden demorar un embarque y es posible que uno se olvide de los detalles del acuerdo. Asegúrese de que su veterinario palpe y verifique la buena condición física de los animales que usted exporta. Ya que los compradores internacionales pagan buen dinero por los animales que han seleccionado y tendrán que pagar el transporte y otros gastos, no se pueden dar el lujo de tener problemas adicionales. Recuerde apoyar su producto siempre – eso significa garantizar sus animales en caso de problemas de reproducción. Usted no querrá que su cliente internacional tengo algo malo que decir sobre su operación, porque en su propio país, son una comunidad estrecha, y un comentario negativo puede dar fin a su negocio en ese país.

También debemos continuar mejorando los eventos anuales de la IBBA durante la Exposición Ganadera de Houston; si creamos incentivos que animan a los criadores del exterior venir a Estados Unidos, ayudaremos a exponer a más de nuestros miembros al mercado internacional; además, debemos mejorar la exhibición de la enorme selección de genética Brangus que está a disposición en este país.

Me gustaría animar a nuestros socios a que formen parte de nuestros eventos internacionales. Tenemos algunos eventos durante la Exposición Ganadera de Houston que son muy, pero muy importantes para los criadores de Brangus serios. Houston está pasando a ser el centro de reunión de toda la comunidad Brangus. En 2010, tuvimos más de 350 invitados y los eventos siguen creciendo. Deberíamos colaborar todos juntos para que esta raza sea la más popular de los trópicos. Participe con su presencia y su ganado en el “Round Up” de Brangus. Dejemos a un lado nuestras diferencias y consideremos solo lo que realmente importa: la raza Brangus. Si la calidad de nuestro ganado y de nuestros servicios continúa mejorando, tendremos una buena posibilidad de que nuestros hijos tengan un futuro sólido involucrados con la raza Brangus. bj

Australian Brangus blends in US Genetics

by Stephen Pearce Telpara Hills, Queensland Australia

Brangus cattle in Australia are currently experiencing a huge growth in popularity partly due to their incorporation of American genetics into the Australian herd.

Brangus are high performing cattle well suited to Australia’s variable continent and have a excellent reputation for being a practical commercially orientated breed. Recent improvements in cattle feed supplement technology and market pressures for improved meat quality have allowed for Brangus to extend their territory into traditionally Brahman dominated areas and has created great opportunity for Australian Brangus producers. Furthermore, Australian Brangus breeders benefit from access to the finest Angus and Brahman genetics in the world and incorporate them into their breeding programs. Australian producers have recently recognized that there are a few areas including carcass quality, genetic predictability and performance data that are certainly in need of improvement to better meet these changes.

When the Pearce family of Telpara Hills first visited Brangus operations in the US, they were astounded. Not only did they like the look

28 | May/June 2011

Brangus Journal

of the cattle, but were impressed by the years of research that had gone into producing Brangus with excellent carcass qualities, good spread of low birth weights to high growth, and generations of predictable breeding. The US Brangus had survivability to handle the harsh Australian environment while maintaining performance in terms of growth with the right maturity pattern and improved IMF and fat thickness.

Historically there has been (and to a certain extent continues to be) some reservations towards US Brangus genetics in Australia. Many of the early imported genetics were not well suited being large frame 8+ frame score cattle that were hard doing. While an earlier perception held by some Australian producers was that some US seedstock producers pursued some traits to extremes From the outset, the need for cattle to meet and exceed the demands of commercial producers has been the central philosophy of Telpara Hills – not fads or fashions.

Telpara Hills has been committed to building a customised herd of US donor females and sires to deliver on this Telpara philosophy. Telpara Hills has imported in excess of 1000 US embryos and has worked closely with ABS Australia, which has the ability to work independently of ABS USA, in marketing leading Brangus sires.

Many of the high selling Australian Brangus records have been broken with US genetics which continue to be in high demand. By taking such a significant amount of genetics from the US, Australian cattle producers are able to sort through and work out what works best for their operations The continued expansion of US genetics in the Australian Brangus herd will be based on helping Australian cattlemen out performing in the territories of Brahman, Droughtmaster and Santa Gertrudis. If carefully selected, US genetics entering Australia offer enormous upside potential to do so by delivering this where it counts – on the hooks!

To meet this potential, US and AU producers must work ever closely to inherently understand the respective conditions and complementary genetics. Telpara Hills is a leader in this respect having invested significantly in time, travel and genetic resources. To showcase their progress, Telpara Hills will conduct its own sale event at the 2012 Brangus World Congress.

At this event Telpara Hills will be selling US and worldwide qualified semen and embryos.

They invite all Brangus breeders world wide to make the effort to attend the world congress and learn more about Australia and its astounding cattle industry and visit the Telpara Hills herd to see what great cattle can be bred from blending US and Australian genetics.

El Brangus australiano se combina con la genética estadounidense

by Stephen Pearce Telpara Hills, Queensland Australia El ganado Brangus en Australia está actualmente pasando por un enorme auge de popularidad, en parte debido a la incorporación de la genética estadounidense al hato australiano.

El ganado Brangus consta de bovinos de alto desempeño bien adaptados a la variabilidad del continente australiano y que tiene un excelente renombre por ser una raza práctica y orientada hacia la producción comercial. Mejoras recientes en la tecnología de la alimentación suplementaria para el ganado y las presiones del mercado para mejorar la calidad de la carne, le han permitido al Brangus extender su territorio a zonas tradicionalmente dominadas por el Brahman y ha creado una gran oportunidad para los productores australianos del Brangus. Además, los criadores australianos de Brangus se benefician del acceso que tienen a la mejor genética Angus y Brahman del mundo y que incorporan en sus programas de cría. Los productores australianos han reconocido, hace poco, que hay algunos ítems, incluso la calidad de la canal, le previsibilidad genética y los datos de desempeño, que indudablemente necesitan mejorarse para satisfacer los cambios venideros.

Cuando la familia Pearce de Telpara Hills primero visitó las operaciones Brangus en Estados Unidos, quedó atónita. No solo que les gustó el aspecto del ganado, sino que estaban impresionados por los años de investigación que se incorporaron a la producción del Brangus con excelente calidad de canal, una buena gama de pesos bajos al destete a gran crecimiento, y generaciones de cría previsible. El Brangus de Estados Unidos tiene la supervivencia para poner lidiar con el ambiente difícil de Australia, al mismo tiempo manteniendo el desempeño en términos de crecimiento con la pauta correcta de madurez, el grosor de la grasa deseado y la mayor frecuencia de ordeña.

30 | May/June 2011

Brangus Journal

Históricamente, ha habido (y hasta cierto punto continúa habiendo) ciertas reservaciones hacia la genética estadounidense en Australia. Mucha de la genética importada en años anteriores no se adaptaba bien, al tener una puntuación de tamaño esquelético muy grande (8+) y que tuvieron problemas de adaptación.

Mientras que una percepción inicial por parte de algunos productores australianos había sido que algunos productores de animales de raza pura en Estados Unidos habían llevado algunas características a extremos; desde un principio, la filosofía central de Telpara Hills fue la necesidad de que el ganado satisfaga y exceda las demandas de los productores comerciales – y no de las últimas modas pasajeras.

Telpara Hills se ha comprometido a desarrollar un hato especial de hembras donadoras y sementales estadounidenses para hacer realidad la filosofía de Telpara. Telpara Hills ha importado más de 1,000 embriones estadounidenses y ha colaborado estrechamente con la ABS Australia, que tiene la capacidad de trabajar de modo independiente de la ABS de Estados Unidos, en la comercialización de sementales Brangus de primera calidad.

Con la genética estadounidense, que continúa estando en gran demanda, se han sobrepasado muchos de los récords de los Brangus australianos de precios altos. Al incorporar una cantidad tan significativa de la genética de Estados Unidos, los productores australianos han podido seleccionar más y decidir lo que mejor funciona para sus propias operaciones.

La continua expansión de la genética estadounidense en el hato Brangus en Australia se basará en ayudar a los ganaderos australianos a exceder los desempeños en los territorios actuales del Brahman, Droughtmaster y Santa Gertrudis. Si se selecciona cuidadosamente, la genética estadounidense que entra a Australia ofrece un enorme potencial positivo de logar eso dónde más vale ¡en los ganchos!

Para satisfacer este potencial, los productores estadounidenses y australianos deben colaborar estrechamente para comprender bien las condiciones respectivas y la complementariedad de la genética. Telpara Hills es un líder en este aspecto, habiendo invertido mucho tiempo, viajes y recursos genéticos. Para demostrar este progreso, Telpara Hills conducirá su propia subasta durante el Congreso Mundial Brangus de 2012. En esa ocasión, Telpara Hills estará subastando semen y embriones que se califican a nivel mundial y a nivel estadounidense. La empresa convida a todos los criadores de Brangus de todo el mundo a tratar de asistir al Congreso Mundial y enterarse más sobre Australia y la sobresaliente industria ganadera que tiene, así como visitar el hato de Telpara Hills para ver el magnífico ganado que se puede criar al combinar la genética estadounidense con la australiana. bj

IJBBA on the Horizon Gearing Up for the “Source of Champions” Sale Hello fellow Brangus breeders! I hope this article finds all of you well. This is a very busy time for the IJBBA Board of Directors. I will admit that I, being the lone “newbie” on the board this year, never imagined that the IJBBA board was so much work. This Board of Directors truly puts their blood, sweat, tears, but most of all their hearts into the Brangus breed. It is truly an honor to work with others that share the same passion and love for our great breed.

Starting in May, the IJBBA Board of Directors has been concentrating on putting together our annual “Source of Champions” Show Heifer and Semen Sale. As many of you know this sale had become a great avenue for IJBBA members to purchase a top show heifer prospect. Not only that, it has also become an avenue for breeders to showcase their top genetics and young prospects. The sale is also very important to the IJBBA and the National Junior Brangus Show (NJBS).

The commissions and donations help cover the ever increasing costs of hosting the NJBS. We are currently working to put together the best sale yet, and are still accepting show prospect nominations as well as semen donations. If you have a heifer that you think might be the caliber of heifer to put in front of the largest gathering of IJBBA members this year, please take a moment and let a board member, advisor, Tyler or myself know. We really want this sale to continue to be THE source for top quality show heifer prospects and need your help to do just that.

I truly believe that this will be a great year for our breed at the NJBS and am excited to be a part of this wonderful board.

Lastly I would also like to express another huge THANK YOU

to all the breeders who participated in the 2011 Foundation Heifer Group! The IJBBA would not be the great organization it is without the help of so many generous sponsors.

Looking forward to seeing you all in West Monroe on Thursday, July 14 for this year’s “Source of Champions” Sale!

Sincerely,

Thad Gorczyca

The time is right for Brangus

by Buck Thomason

There are tremendous opportunities for Brangus producers in South America. In my travels to Argentina, Colombia and Paraguay, I have seen cow herds that are primarily Brahman and Nelore. These herds could benefit immensely with the use of Brangus Genetics and improved production systems. As these counties expand their export markets, they will need to use more intense production systems and improved Genetics.

In the four plus years we have been traveling to South America, we have seen significant changes. The better operations are using improved pastures and rotational grazing. They have begun to feed their animals before slaughter, not just relying on grass.

These production systems and improved Genetics are making a huge difference in many of the herds we have visited.

On a recent trip to Colombia, we had the opportunity to visit several Fincas which we had visited 2 ½ years ago. The improvement in several of these operations was significant. We were also fortunate to attend a field day at Ganadería Madrigal. Approximately 80 cattle producers came to the Field Day to hear speakers, tour the Finca and learn. They learned about new production systems and the advantages of Brangus cattle from several speakers.

We attended the 25th Annual Finca Expo and had the opportunity to present trophies from the IBBA for the Grand Champion Brangus Bull and Female at the Show. Their Association appreciated the IBBA for recognizing their Champion animals. Brangus is a new breed in Colombia with the first cattle being imported from the

US in 1995.

The breed continues to grow and improve.

There are many things that have impressed me about the cattle business in South America, but I would like to focus on two. As I have attended shows or field days, I am always amazed at the number of young producers in the cattle business in these countries and how eager they are to learn. We do not seem to have the numbers of young people in the US who are in this business. The other item is their enthusiasm for the Brangus Breed. They are excited about Brangus cattle and how the breed is changing the cattle industry in their countries.

We need to follow their lead and get excited about Brangus cattle and encourage young producers here and in other countries.

¡El momento es propicio para el Brangus!

by Buck Thomason

Existen tremendas oportunidades para los productores de Brangus en Sudamérica. En mis viajes por Argentina, Colombia y Paraguay, he vista hatos/rebaños de vacas que constan principalmente de Brahman y Nelore. Estos hatos/rebaños pudieran beneficiarse muchísimo usando la genética Brangus y los sistemas de producción mejorados. A medida que dichos países extienden sus mercados de exportación, ellos tendrán que usar sistemas de producción más intensivos y genética mejorada.

En los más de cuatro años que hemos estado viajando por Sudamérica, hemos visto cambios significativos. Las operaciones de mayor calidad están usando pastizales mejorados y el pastoreo de rotación. Han comenzado a cebar/alimentar granos a sus animales antes del sacrificio, y no se fían solamente del pasto. Estos sistemas de producción y la genética mejorada están causando enormes diferencias entre los muchos hatos/rebaños que hemos visitado.

En un viaje reciente a Colombia, tuvimos la oportunidad de volver a visitar varias fincas que habíamos visitado hace dos años y medio. El mejoramiento en varias de estas operaciones fue significativo. También tuvimos la buena fortuna de participar en un “día de campo” en la Ganadería Madrigal. Participaron aproximadamente 80 productores de ganado vacuno, que vinieron a oír a conferencistas, hacer una gira de la finca y a aprender. Aprendieron sobre nuevos sistemas de producción y de las ventajas del ganado Brangus, de varios conferencistas. Asistimos a la 25° Finca Expo Anual y tuvimos la oportunidad de presentar trofeos enviados por la IBBA para el Toro Brangus Gran Campeón y la Vaca Brangus

La asociación local agradeció a la IBBA por reconocer a sus animales campeones. Brangus es una raza nueva en Colombia, con el primer ganado habiéndose importado de Estados Unidos en 1995. La raza continúa creciendo y mejorando.

Son muchas las cosas que me han impresionado del negocio ganadero en Sudamérica, pero quisiera concentrarme en dos. Al haber asistido a exposiciones y días de campo, siempre me asombra el número de productores jóvenes en el negocio ganadero en esos países y lo entusiasmados que están por aprender. Nosotros no parecemos tener tantos jóvenes en este negocio en Estados Unidos. El otro punto es su entusiasmo por la raza Brangus. Están muy ilusionados con el ganado Brangus y la manera en que la raza está modificando la industria ganadera en sus países.

Necesitamos seguir sus ejemplos y entusiasmarnos por el ganado Brangus y animar más a los productores jóvenes tanto aquí como en los demás países. bj

This Year’s

Global Brangus Roundup Was a Tremendous Success!

The 2011 Global Brangus Roundup was held Sunday, March 6, 2011 at the Fort Bend County Fairgrounds in Rosenberg, TX. Dr. Joseph Massey, Andres Sanchez and Marcos Borges welcomed everyone to this year’s event and thanked all for attending. Everyone enjoyed their Texas style BBQ lunch while listening to the great music performed by the San Antonio River Coyotes. Following the meal and entertainment, Ian Galloway and Amanda Salisbury representing the Australian Brangus Association made a special presentation regarding the World Brangus Congress that will be held in Queensland, Australia, in May 2012 Of the 300 plus guests in attendance, at least 200 were international guests representing 13 countries. The attendance of the event clearly shows the worldwide interest in Brangus cattle and genetics.

After the BBQ lunch and the special presentation, the program moved to the covered arena where there were 34 head of high

quality Registered Brangus Cattle on exhibit representing 20 different operations. There was an open bar surrounded by Industry partners and ranches with booth displays that received much attention. Attendees were able to visit with vendors as well as walk the alleys, look at cattle and converse with US breeders.

Attendees had approximately an hour on their own to walk through the cattle, then the formal presentation began. Every ranch exhibiting was highlighted with one selected pen being talked about as the animals were moved through the display ring.

This gave both the international and domestic guests a chance to view all of the cattle once more and learn a little bit about each breeder.

Attendees were able to see well known and accomplished herd sires that have helped shape the Brangus breed as well young cattle sure to have an impact on the breed in the future.

Exhibitors included: Alford Cattle Company, Lee Alford III and Bruce Alford Bar C Bar Brangus, Charles Atkinson & Family BKC Ranch, Kelly & Stacey Costello Buffaloe Cattle Company, Bruce & Nancy Buffaloe Circle X Land & Cattle, Steve Densmore, mgr.

Corlay Cattle Company, Dr. Jody Crawford & Family Cox Excalibur, Don Cox & Family Dillard Land & Cattle, Joe Dillard & Family Douget’s Diamond D Ranch, Mike Douget & Family Indian Hills, Buck & Sidney Thomason Oak Creek Farms, John & Carolyn Kopycinski OB Ranch, Marcos Borges Quail Creek Brangus, Johnny & Donna Vines Rancho la Victoria, Victor Nader and Family Schoenig Land & Cattle, Roy & Debbie Schoenig Shelton’s 3 Bar S Cattle Company, Raymond Shelton & Family Thomas Show Cattle, Garrett Thomas Triangle K Farm, Dennis Kmiec Trio Cattle & Genetics, Allen Goode, Cheramie Viator, Damon Acord Vineyard Cattle Company, Dr. Robert Vineyard

En 2011, el “Round-up” global Brangus se celebró el domingo, 6 de marzo en el recinto de la Feria del Condado de Fort Bend in Rosenberg, TX. El Dr. Joseph Massey y los señores Andrés Sánchez y Marcos Borges dieron la bienvenida al evento de este año y agradecieron a todos por su asistencia. Los participantes disfrutaron una barbacoa estilo texana mientras que escuchaban la maravillosa música del grupo San Antonio River Coyotes. Después de la comida y el entretenimiento, Ian Galloway y Amanda Salisbury, en representación de la Asociación Brangus de Australia, hicieron una presentación especial con respecto al Congreso Mundial Brangus que se celebrará en Queensland, Australia, en mayo de 2012.

De los más de 300 visitantes que participaron, por lo menos 200 fueron visitantes internacionales representando a 30 países.

resentaban a 20 operaciones diferentes. Había un bar abierto rodeado por socios de la industria y ranchos/haciendas con puestos/ casetas de exhibición que recibieron mucha atención. Los participantes pudieron hablar con los vendedores así como pasear por los callejones, mirando a ganado y conversando con criadores estadounidenses.

Los participantes tuvieron aproximadamente una hora para dar vueltas y mirar el ganado, antes de iniciarse las presentaciones formales. Cada operación en exhibición fue destacada individualmente haciéndose comentarios sobre un corral selecto, a medida que los animales circulaban por la pista de exhibición. Esto le dio una oportunidad a los visitantes internacionales y nacionales a ver todo el ganado una vez más y aprender un poco más acerca de cada criador.

Los participantes pudieron ver sementales de hato conocidos y de renombre que han ayudado a moldear la raza Brangus, así como ganado joven que ciertamente tendrá un impacto sobre la raza en el futuro.

WORLD BRANGUS COnGRESS JUST AROUND THE CORNER

The countdown is on, with less than 15 months until Australia hosts the World Brangus Congress for the first time. “It will be a great opportunity for breeders from North and South America to explore Australia – the congress itself will offer a chance to meet many from the Australian cattle industry, while the tours will allow visitors to experience cattle properties throughout eastern Australia,” said Congress Committee Chairman Ian Galloway.

Despite some difficult weather conditions in host state, Queensland, over recent months, the Australian Brangus Cattle Association is looking forward to an exciting series of events for international visitors.

Flooding and cyclones have affected almost 1/3 of the country, but plans are ‘full steam ahead’ for breeders and Congress planners alike.

day showcasing the latest relevant breakthroughs in the industry, a show cattle program, informative visits to Brangus studs and social events for international guests and Australian members.

“We look forward to sharing our great country – the landscapes, the amazing wildlife, the great cattle and that renown friendly Aussie hospitality,” Mr Galloway said.

The congress will run alongside Beef Australia – the nation’s biggest and best beef expo held every three years in the tropical city of Rockhampton. Beef 2012 will take place May 7-12, 2012 with Congress events starting on May 6 with a ‘welcome’ event and finishing on May 11.

Among other highlights planned for the Congress are a demonstration of campdrafting, Australia’s own horse sport, and a campfire dinner under the stars.

Proposed pre- and post-Congress tours will give visitors a oncein-a-lifetime chance to experience Australia and its cattle industry, and includes a variety of options for international guests.

A 7-day tour of New South Wales and Queensland includes arrival and welcome in Sydney, winery visits, visits to several New South Wales and Queensland cattle properties through a variety of unique Aussie landscapes.

A shorter 4-day tour will take visitors from Queensland’s capital city Brisbane, and include the Australia Zoo, and catered visits to some of Queensland top Brangus studs.

A five-day tour of Victoria and North Queensland tour will also be offered. Organisers urge overseas visitors to register their interest in their chosen tour/s early so as not to miss out.

New & Noteworthy GO TEXAN – Comercialización de ganado

Cuando la gente piensa en Texas, la primera imagen que llega a la mente refleja el legado ganadero histórico del estado – vaqueros, bovinos, caballos y más. Hoy en día, esa tradición continúa ya que Texas sigue siendo la capital ganadera del mundo.

El programa de comercialización GO TEXAN del Texas Department of Agriculture – TDA (Departamento de Agricultura de Texas), vincula a compradores y vendedores para facilitar la exportación de bovinos y de genética bovina de primera categoría a destinos alrededor del mundo. La experiencia, dedicación y pericia del equipo del programa de comercialización GO TEXAN ha logrado que el Estado de la Estrella Solitaria sea un líder mundial de toda confianza en la producción bovina.

Con granjas y haciendas situadas en todas partes de los terrenos diversos del estado, los productores de Texas han aprendido a criar con éxito una gran variedad de bovino con diferentes características, como por ejemplo, diferentes niveles de tolerancia al calor y varios tamaños esqueléticos. Por lo tanto, en Texas usted puede encontrar ganado que se adaptará a todo tipo de ambiente para poder satisfacer sus requisitos.

CONGRESO MUNDIAL BRANGUS ESTÁ A LA VUELTA DE LA ESQUINA

Ya empezó la cuenta regresiva, con menos de 15 meses hasta que Australia hará de anfitrión del Congreso Mundial Brangus por primera vez. “Será una magnífica oportunidad para los criadores de América del Norte, del Centro y del Sur explorar Australia – el congreso en sí ofrecerá una oportunidad para conocer a muchas personas de la industria ganadera australiana, mientras que las giras permitirán a los visitantes ver las operaciones ganaderas del este de Australia,” dijo el Presidente del Comité del Congreso, Ian Galloway.

A pesar de las difíciles condiciones climáticas del estado anfitrión, Queensland, a fines del año pasado, la Asociación Australiana de Ganado Brangus anticipa con entusiasmo una serie de eventos para los visitantes internacionales.

Congress Chairman Ian Galloway, Beef Australia CEO Roger Desailly and immediate past president if the ABCA, Allan Schutt with a red Brangus bull.

Las inundaciones y los ciclones han afectado casi una tercera parte del país, pero los planes siguen “a todo vapor” para tanto los criadores como los planificadores del Congreso.

El Congreso Mundial Brangus en Australia incluirá una subasta élite de animales registrados, junto con un día técnico que será un escaparate para los últimos gran avances pertinentes en la industria; un programa de animales en exhibición; además de visitas informativas a operaciones de cría Brangus y eventos sociales para los visitantes internacionales y los miembros australianos.

“Esperamos poder compartir nuestro gran país – los paisajes, la extraordinaria fauna silvestre, el magnífico ganado y la tan renombrada hospitalidad de los australianos,” dijo el Sr. Galloway.

El Congreso tendrá lugar al mismo tiempo que Beef Australia – la exposición mejor y más grande de la nación que se celebra cada tres años en la ciudad tropical de Rockhampton. Beef Australia 2012 tendrá lugar del 7 al 12 de mayo de 2012 con los eventos del Congreso empezando el 6 de mayo con un evento de bienvenida y acabando el 11 de mayo.

Entre los demás espectáculos que se planean para el Congreso, habrá una demostración de campdrafting, un deporte a caballo que combina un concurso de corte y arreo de ganado, típico de Australia y una cena alrededor de un fogón debajo de las estrellas.

Las giras que se proponen para antes y después del Congreso les darán a los visitantes una oportunidad irrepetible de conocer a Australia y a su industria ganadera, e incluyen una variedad de opciones para los visitantes internacionales.

Una gira de siete (7) días de los estados de New South Wales y Queensland, incluye la llegada y la bienvenida en Sydney, visitas a bodegas, visitas a varias operaciones ganaderas en los dos estados, pasando a través de unos paisajes impresionantes únicos a Australia.

Una gira más corta de cuatro (4) días, saldrá con los visitantes desde la capital de Queensland, Brisbane, e incluirá el zoológico
