the old adage “focus on your customer” may never be truer

by DR. JOSEPH MASSEY

T

he beef and dairy industry have been going through a major downsizing for the last three years that many of us have not been willing to recognize; therefore, we have not altered our business plan or our marketing strategies. By the end of 2010, we will have eliminated another million head of beef cattle from the national beef herd giving us a total of about 30 million head of cattle. The more significant aspect is that we are still producing about the same amount of beef annually as when we had 15 million more head of cattle. The importance of this as we go into the new bull selling season is that we have not just lost cattle but we have lost potential customers. With our national herd averages of about 35 head per herd, we have lost about 90,000 herds. The other trend in the industry is that the average commercial operation is growing in cow numbers; therefore, we have possibly lost more than 90,000 herds.

We are entering more of a buyer’s market this year than in past years since the seedstock producers have not reduced numbers at the same rate as the national cow herd. Also, because of the economic environment that our country is in, the average commercial cattleman is making his existing bull battery last a little longer. As you read the results of a number of beef surveys taken in the last year, the one trait that has jumped up into the top four consistently is seller’s credibility.

The commercial cattleman is studying his purchases more than ever.

He not only wants to buy a bull, but he wants the confidence that he is buying a product that you, the seedstock producer, will stand behind with the assurance that the bull will perform as advertised.

Customer service, reliability, performance and credibility may be taking on new meaning in our industry. The surveys are suggesting that the commercial cattlemen are looking more and more to buy their bulls from long standing hands on family operations. They rate these

operations as having the most credibility and reliable data. We, in the seedstock industry have not necessarily understood this concept as well in the past because we always thought there would be another customer around the corner.

We may never see those days again or at least, not any time soon.

My point, as we move into the fall bull selling season, is that we need to better service our customers and we will probably need to work harder to maintain them. Follow-up may take on a new meaning in our industry. Our customers want to know that we care how our bulls produced for them. I have repeatedly heard that advertising will bring in new potential customers, but I have not found any data that suggests we will be getting a new set of customers in the cattle business in the near future. Our economic condition dictates that we better work hard at customer services and we better research what our customers want. I suggest that we do not go into an interview with our customers without first doing our homework.

Know your customers. bj

PERSONTOPERSON by DON COX, IBBA President Staying Focused on the Future

W

hat a great time to be in the Cattle business, especially the Brangus cattle business. The demand for Brangus cattle continues to grow and your association is working hard to help create demand for Brangus Cattle.

While this has been one of the best years in recent history for cattle prices, we also should be thankful for the rain. After the last 3 or 4 years of drought, our rainfall has been plentiful in 2010. Many ranchers that were forced to sell because of the drought and high prices for hay in the last 3 years, are now looking to buy cattle to replenish and take advantage of the grass and hay available now. Going into this fall selling season for bulls, be aware that demand for the Brangus female is back. I just talked with a gentleman today, who sold 85 Brangus commercial pairs for $1500.00 each, sight unseen.

Of course, we all know the buyer got a good buy because he is converting from another breed to Brangus based and he will find out how good the Brangus female performs. Her maternal traits are the best in the cattle industry.

Well I feel like I am preaching to the choir, but it leads me to another area I want us to concentrate on. That is marketing Brangus to the commercial cattleman and entire cattle industry. We all run ads on our programs and sales, but if we can group them together on a page or couple of pages, we can develop a Brangus section in the main periodicals. This will give the Brangus Breed more exposure to the cattle industry and general public. Dr. Massey and I have talked about this initiative and will move forward with having the staff work on a program to get it kicked off. Be aware you may be getting a call to participate. We need your involvement to make this marketing program work.

Here is the most recent information and update on the three main goals we discussed in March and in the last Brangus Journal.

demand for Brangus cattle. Dr. Massey and several Board members have had several meetings and conversations with both programs and we feel confident we will be able to have one in place before year end.

DNA/GENOME The committee is in place and continues to work with the project. Dr. Milt Thomas is Chairman of the committee and will be having a conference call soon to further discuss all options available for DNA data collection. Brangus should be a leader in DNA data and give our members the ability to gather the data at a reasonable cost.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Don Cox has a true and dedicated interest in the breed and association. He spent two years as a transition board member, and in 2008 was elected for Area 7.

He has served on the Breed Improvement, Membership and Education, Show Advisory, and Finance committees. He is on the board of the TBBA and an NCBA member. Domestically he has been involved with the breed for 27 years and first marketed internationally in 1988.

MEMBERSHIP SERVICES Our membership services continue to grow with the latest edition being, Dr. Massey has added a public service announcement area that the staff will be working on. In this section, the goal is to keep BRANGUS in front of the public as much as possible. If you have any announcements that pertain to satellite organization changes, elections, etc., contact the staff with the information. We continue to work with several Insurance companies to get the Group Medical Plan for our Association in place. We will keep you informed in coming months when it will be available. bj

id you know that transferring your bull is one of the cheapest, easiest, most important customer service efforts you can do? That’s right, cheap, easy and important. Transferring your bull is the only way your customers can access value added opportunities through IBBA Marketing Programs.

The first transfer for a bull under 30 months of age is included in your THR assessment for his dam. However, it is up to you as the breeder to initiate the transfer. In the past, it cost you extra to transfer your bulls after you sold them to a customer. Consequently, many breeders got in the habit of not incurring extra cost if the customer didn’t want registration papers under preTHR rules. Get in the habit of transferring your bulls!

We’ve heard many commercial customers say “I’m just a commercial guy, I don’t need the papers.” We would encourage all members to get in the habit of telling those commercial customers that IBBA’s marketing programs make having those registration papers more important than ever. Transferring online is fast and easy. If you need a refresher on how to do it, look on page 32 for a how-to article. If you don’t feel comfortable using the online program, it can also be done through the IBBA office.

database of customers that we can contact with new opportunities for Brangus influenced cattle. Bull buyers receive a subscription to Frontline Beef Producer and are contacted throughout the year to let them know of opportunities for adding value through our marketing programs.

The genetic aspect of the OptimaxX USDA Age, Source and Genetic Verification Program is verified through ABOUT THE AUTHOR our real-time Grant Keenen is the Direcregistry program. tor of Commercial Martking Programs for the IBBA. For The only possible any questions or inquiries way a commercial regarding IBBA Commercial cow-calf operator Programs, such as OptimaxX can be approved and Brangus Gold, Grant is to have IBBA can be reached by phone at animals in their 210.696.8231 or by email at name. The only grant@int-brangus.org. way this gets accomplished, is that you transfer ownership at the time of sale. Every commercial producer that has had an IBBA animal transferred into their name has an IBBA account number. The account will list those animals so that IBBA staff can verify the necessary genetics and approve that person as an OptimaxX supplier following USDA guidelines.

Bull Transfers...

The IBBA’s Lifeline to the Commercial Producer

Registration papers are mailed to each new owner along with information discussing Brangus Commercial Marketing Programs including OptimaxX and Brangus Gold. It also helps us develop a

Brangus Gold is strictly a program that follows verification guidelines set by the IBBA. The genetic requirements however, are just the same for Brangus Gold as they are for OptimaxX. Animals wearing either tag must be at least 50% IBBA parentage. A producer must own IBBA registered animals to be considered for this program as well. The integrity of Brangus Gold is dependent on genetic accuracy.

IBBA staff must be able to verify parentage by using the registry system.

The last thing we want to do is not approve a producer for OptimaxX or Brangus Gold when they have been buying IBBA genetics. It is not a customer’s fault that the purchases made have not been transferred to reflect ownership in the IBBA database. It is your responsibility as Brangus seedstock suppliers to transfer ownership to your commercial customers.

Brangus marketing programs are a free customer service team you have at your disposal as an IBBA member. We are in the business of adding value to Brangus and Brangus influenced commercial cattle through OptimaxX, Brangus Gold and other programs. Take advantage of us and help us promote the value of Brangus marketing programs and registered Brangus genetics at every opportunity. BJ

y first three weeks on the job found me traveling to several industry events. First to the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) Summer Conference in Denver, then on to College Station the next two weeks for the Texas A&M Beef Cattle Short Course and then the Texas Beef Council’s Beef 706 educational program, followed by the IBBA Board of Directors meeting. All of these meetings were extremely important to you as Brangus Breeders. I have several things that I need your help with in the coming months. I will be jumping around a bit, but please try to keep up with these bits and pieces as they are important to us making progress.

If you haven’t heard about the fuss going on about the proposed Grain Inspection Packers and Stockyards Act, it’s time to get involved! You desperately need to get informed and let your elected representatives know how you feel about this issue. It can potentially be a “game changer” in the way we currently market cattle and will definitely have a profound effect on the IBBA OptimaxX program.

To get information on the issues visit http://beefusa.org/ or call me and IBBA will send you a copy of the information. I encourage all members to get involved in the Beef Industry and get informed.

Knowledge is power and new information is available daily.

This brings me to my next topic, the internet. I know a few of you who are concerned that IBBA is too internet dependent. To that, I ask you to tell me of one large scale industry that is not computer based. It’s where business is done today! It’s happening and it’s not possible to fight it so we will all have to get used to it. Embrace it! I promise you, with a little coaching, old dogs can learn new tricks. I encourage you to get plugged in and use the information that is so readily available. The internet allows us to cut costs and disseminate much more information than print media. Did you know that IBBA has a Facebook page? We try to update it at least weekly with

something that is interesting or topical to the Beef industry. Check us out and “like” us on Facebook.

I enlist your help in developing new brochures, ads, promotional materials and providing updates to the website.

We would like some fresh new pictures.

Please send us any pictures you think might help in promoting Brangus. We need bulls on pasture, cows and calves (registered and commercial), feedlot steers, people, places or events, anything you could send our way would be appreciated.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Ben Spitzer is Marketing Programs Director for the IBBA. Ben can be reached by phone at 210.696.8231 or by e-mail at ben@intbrangus.org.

Our state and regional affiliates have a big role to play in the Brangus breed.

We would like to keep everyone more informed on activities for your area so please let us know what is going on with your state and regional associations. It is also important to send us updated officer and contact information. In short, we can’t help you if we don’t get the information.

It seems every aspect of business is moving at a breakneck speed.

The beef industry is no exception. IBBA is in position to be a major player in the future of the beef industry both domestically and internationally. Each and every member is critical to the future success of the Brangus breed. We all need to educate ourselves daily on the threats and opportunities that exist. Get plugged in.

Get active in your area. Be informed. Be a proactive apostle for Brangus and the Beef Industry! BJ

genetic strategies by MARK ENNS, PhD

Interpreting Total Maternal EPD

I

n the last issue of Frontline we discussed milk EPD, its interpretation, use and finally the biological basis for calculating milk EPD. As we showed, milk EPD are based on the weaning weight of a sire’s progeny and the subsequent weaning weights of that sires’ daughters’ calves—his grand-progeny. A sire can produce a relatively large number of progeny with weaning weights long before his first crop of daughters ever come into production, and the weaning weight EPD is therefore based on a relatively large amount of data by the time daughters ever wean a calf. However, once a sire’s daughters start producing calves, the two sources of information, progeny and grand-progeny of a sire, combined give a good indication of the genes a sire carries for milk production and accordingly these weaning weights determine the milk EPD for that sire.

The selection of the correct sires for your ranch production and marketing system is critical to profitability as the bulls selected drive genetic improvement of the herd.

The influence of a particular sire increases as the number of cows that bull is expected to service and the resulting number of offspring increases. The greater the number of offspring produced by a particular sire the greater his impact on the herd’s genetic makeup. The bull’s genetic impact on herd performance is typically felt long term through the female progeny retained as replacements in the herd. Well-adapted, fertile daughters may last more than 15 years in some cases whereas mal-adapted daughters may last fewer than 4 years in the herd.

Total maternal EPD is actually a combination of the weaning weight EPD of a sire and its milk EPD. More accurately, TM EPD is the milk EPD plus half of the weaning weight EPD. To better understand this concept let’s look at two sires, the first, sire A, has a TM EPD of +37 and the second, sire B, has a TM EPD of +5. Assuming both of these bulls are mated to genetically similar cows, we

Brangus Journal

Many times I am asked why half of the weaning weight EPD is used to calculate TM EPD. If we look at this from a biological perspective, the reasoning is clear. A sire’s weaning weight EPD represents the genetic influence it has ABOUT THE AUTHOR on its offspring Dr. Enns’ research focuses on methods to genetically in the form of evaluate and select genes influenc- animals that fit their ing weaning production environment growth passed both biologically and on to progeny. economically.

So when increased profitability of these daughters beef production. produce progeny they are passing on half of their father’s genes to their offspring—the original sire’s grand-progeny. The biological mechanism where each parent passes on half of their genes to their offspring is what drives the calculation and interpretation of TM EPD.

The Total Maternal EPD more appropriately predicts sires’ contributions to their daughters’ ability to wean heavy calves and ultimately to the weaning performance of the entire herd.

For those of us who sell calves at weaning or who have customers who sell calves at weaning, producing daughters that wean heavy calves is foremost in our minds. After all, our paycheck is based on the weight of those calves we market. There are two genetic factors influencing the weight of those calves—genes for growth in the calf as represented by a sire’s weaning weight EPD and genes for milk production in the dam as represented by the milk EPD. We have already discussed how sires influence the milk production of their daughters and how that is represented by the milk EPD of the sire. But the milk EPD doesn’t tell the whole story. The total maternal EPD (TM EPD) more appropriately predicts sires’ contributions to their daughters’ ability to wean heavy calves and ultimately to the weaning performance of the herd.

would expect the daughters of sire A to wean calves that were 32 pounds heavier than the daughters of sire B giving an indication of which sire you might choose given you plan on keeping his daughters are replacements.

As with milk EPD, TM EPD might predict how heavy your calves are at weaning, other factors contribute to profitability as well as TM EPD. In fact, if you were to select solely on TM EPD, consider what would occur over time. Selecting on TM EPD would result in heavier calves at weaning due to faster growth and higher milking cows.

However with faster growth we typically get heavier mature cows.

This combined with higher milk production levels could likely exceed forage resources in restrictive environments and correspondingly greater numbers of open cows. So as you use TM EPD, as with any EPD, single trait selection may yield undesirable results.

In summary, the TM EPD represents differences between sires in their daughters’ ability to wean heavier or lighter calves and serves as a useful tool for selecting bulls where female calves may be retained. As with any EPD however, TM EPD should be used in the context of the whole production system to avoid unintended consequences from its use. BJ

2010 Fall Sire Summary INTERNATIONAL BRANGUS BREEDERS ASSOCIATION

The purpose of the 2010 Fall Sire Summary is to provide breeders with a reference guide to the genetic value of both the most widely used and new young active sires in the breed for the traits evaluated. This sire summary is helpful in identifying potential herd sires with EPD profiles appropriate for the herd in which they will be used. While this summary includes the most up to date information available at the time of printing, the IBBA website, www.GoBrangus.com, should always be consulted for the latest EPD information before making any final herd sire selection decision.

Listing Criteria This summary has been limited to the most relevant active sires for comparison. Only sires that have a calf recorded since July 1, 2008 and have DNA on file with IBBA were included in this list. The ‘Proven Sire’ list is limited to sires with a minimum ACC for weaning weight (WW) of .60. Sires, born 2004 or after, with ACC of .35 to 59 and a recorded calf born since July 1, 2008 appear on the ‘Genetic Venture Sire’ list. The IBBA website, www.GoBrangus.com, should be consulted for a more detailed search of potential sires.

Why EPD? After more than twenty years of Expected Progeny Difference (EPD) technology many producers, commercial and purebred, still resist incorporating the technology into their selection process. These producers cite several different reasons for their hesitancy, but research continues to prove the efficacy and relevance of using EPD to cause genetic change.

A bull can only pass his genes to his offspring. His actual birth weight does not pass to his calves, nor does his actual yearling weight, nor any other measurement that can be conceived. All that can pass from the bull to his calves are the genes that affect those measurements. It sounds like splitting hairs, but consider two identical twin bull calves. Assume they are weaned off the cow at exactly the same weight, but one is sent to a feedlot and the other to grass.

The rate of gain between the two twins will be very different, but the genes affecting post weaning gain that they each can pass to their offspring are exactly the same. On average you would not be able to distinguish which calves were sired by the twin with the high, feedlot gain from the calves sired by the other twin.

Now, take it one step further. We wean two unrelated bull calves on the same day at exactly the same weight. One goes to the feedlot, the other to grass. At one year of age, it is likely that the bull in the feedlot will weigh considerably more than the bull that is on grass, but there is no way to determine which bull has genes that are more favorable for high growth. That is, no way except to randomly breed the two bulls to a large group of cows and see how their calves compare – on average.

The EPD is simply a prediction of this average expected progeny difference. The EPD takes into account all the usable performance information in the animal’s pedigree, the animal’s own usable performance information, and the usable performance information of any progeny to develop a prediction of the genetic value for a particular trait of the animal that is transmittable to the offspring. Usable 36 | september/October 2010

Brangus Journal

performance information comes from measures collected on a valid contemporary group, more than one animal of the same sex and the same age group that have been managed together. For each sire in this summary we have included a count of the number of herds contributing usable progeny information, the total number of usable progeny records for the sire, and the total number daughters that have contributed a usable progeny record. Because information from all sources is used in the calculation, EPD is the most reliable predictor of an animal’s true genetic merit for any given trait.

Does this mean that we can predict the yearling weight of a calf from his sire’s EPD? Absolutely not; EPD can not predict actual performance. Actual performance is the result of the genetics of the sire, the genetics of the dam, and everything in the environment affecting the trait (feeding program, illness, weather, etc.). However yearling weight (YW) EPD does predict the average difference in YW that is due to the genetic differences in two bulls, if all other factors affecting actual YW are equal. This is true for every trait for which there is an EPD. EPD is an effective tool for producing better cattle, but EPD alone will not produce better cattle. In fact the use of EPD alone for selection can actually create negative progress in other traits, because there are a multitude of important traits for which there are no EPD values. Visual appraisal, performance ratios, and common sense still are necessary to produce true multi-trait genetic improvement for efficient beef production. But, trying to make economically based genetic improvement without the aid of EPD is like traveling in an unknown country without a map. You may eventually still get where you want to go, but wrong turns and false starts will slow your progress.

Accuracy and Possible Change Values An EPD is a prediction, an estimate based on the available performance information on the individual, his relatives, and, most importantly, his progeny. An animal’s true genetic value for any particular trait can never be known for certain, but the more usable information we have, the more accurate the estimate. Each EPD has a corresponding accuracy value (ACC) associated with it. These values range from .01 to .99 with a higher ACC indicating that more information was available on which to base the prediction. Young bulls with no progeny will have relatively low ACC, while widely used AI sires with many progeny will have much higher ACC. Basically, ACC provides a measure of confidence of the likelihood that the predicted EPD value is in agreement with the true genetic value for the particular trait.

Possible change value (PC) is considered by many to be a more practical method of describing ACC. PC is calculated directly from ACC and provides a measure, in the same units as the EPD, of the margin of error associated with the prediction. For example, a YW EPD of +50 with a PC of 10 means that it is most likely that the real genetic value for YW lies somewhere between +40 and +60.

Both ACC and PC provide a measure of risk that the actual results may not agree with the predicted value. All things being equal, the proven, high-accuracy sire is always the safer choice. A good rule of thumb is to always use sires with the correct EPD profile for your situation, but let the ACC (or PC) determine how extensively to use each sire.

Percentile Rank Since EPD values are meant to be used for comparing animals, it is also useful to have some idea of how an animal’s EPD values stack up against the rest of the breed. On the IBBA website and in this sire summary a Percentile Rank (Rank) is included for every EPD. The Rank value tells us how the EPD of the individual animal stacks up against the same EPD for all other animals in the breed. For instance, a Rank of 10 for YW EPD means that the animal is in the top 10% of the breed for growth genetic potential as measured by YW EPD. On the other hand a Rank of 10 for birth weight (BW) EPD means that the animal is in the top 10% of the breed for low BW EPD, because a lower BW EPD is in most cases considered to be more favorable than a higher BW EPD. Although EPD values are not available for every trait of economic importance, a basic understanding of the application of EPD technology, including ACC, PC and Rank, is critical to correctly applying the technology to make the best possible breeding decisions.

Generations Because Brangus is a synthetic or composite breed developed through the systematic crossing of two diverse breeds, variation can be a concern. The number of purebred Brangus generations (Gen) in the pedigree of each sire in this summary is provided as a reference.

More purebred generations may indicate a reduced risk of extreme variability in the purebred offspring, while fewer purebred generations indicate that there will be greater expression of hybrid vigor in the purebred offspring.

Genetic Venture Sires Herds: 7 Progeny: 32 Daughters: 0 Herds: 1 Progeny: 5 Daughters: 0

EPD Descriptions BW Birth weight – A sire’s expected progeny difference (lb) for

mature dam equivalent birth weight of calf. Progeny of

sires with lower BW EPD values will generally be born with

less calving difficulty.

WW Weaning weight – A sire’s expected progeny difference (lb)

for 205-day, mature dam equivalent WW. A sire’s WW EPD

is an indication of growth to weaning. WW EPD does not

indicate milk production.

YW Yearling weight – A sire’s expected progeny difference

(lb) for 365-day, mature dam equivalent YW. The YW EPD

is an indication of the progeny’s post weaning gain perfor -

mance. YW EPD is calculated by combining WW and

post weaning gain to predict expected differences in

weight performance at one year of age.

MK Milk – A prediction of the maternal genetic component of

weaning weight, MK EPD does not directly indicate

more or less milk production. The MK EPD is the

expected difference (lb), due to maternal performance

(which includes milk production) in the weaning weight

of calves out of a bull’s daughters compared to calves

from daughters of a bull with a zero MK EPD. A higher EPD

indicates that the bull’s daughters should produce more

pounds of calf due to increased maternal performance,

but a higher MK EPD may also indicate a need for higher

nutritional inputs to support increased milk production.

TM Total Maternal – The expected overall difference (lb)

in weaning weight of calves out of a bull’s daughters

compared to calves from daughters of a bull with a zero

maternal weaning EPD. The maternal weaning EPD is a

measure of the genetic component of both growth

and maternal ability. It is calculated by adding one-half

the WW EPD to the MK EPD, and as a result, TM EPD is the

only EPD for which there is no corresponding ACC. SC Scrotal circumference – Measured in centimeters, SC

has been shown to have a strong influence on male

fertility, however selection for extremes in scrotal size is

not an effective method of affecting change in the trait, as

it is subject to extreme environmental variation. While

larger actual scrotal circumference is important in terms

of how the bull can be expected to perform his duties

of servicing cows, only SC EPD predicts the genetic value

of the bull for SC that can be transmitted to his calves.

Additionally, heifers sired by bulls with high SC EPD have

been shown to reach puberty at significantly earlier ages

than do daughters of bulls with low SC EPD.

Ribeye area – REA EPD is a predictor of the muscularity of an animal’s offspring in square inches. The REA EPD presented in this summary is for ultrasound REA as opposed to carcass REA. While there is a high correlation between ultrasound REA and carcass REA, they are not the same trait. Genetic progress for improved muscling is not direct using REA EPD from ultrasound, but still much improved over using actual ultrasound REA measures Fat thickness – FAT EPD, expressed in inches, is a predictor of the difference in external fat thickness at the 12th rib of a sire’s progeny. A lower value is better to an extent.

However, selecting against fat may result in progeny that are too lean, and consequently carcass quality is reduced. The FAT EPD presented in this summary is for ul- trasound FAT as opposed to carcass FAT. While there is a high correlation between ultrasound FAT and carcass FAT, they are not the same trait.

Percent intramuscular fat – IMF EPD is presented in units of percent fat as determined by ultrasound. While IMF from ultrasound has a strong positive relationship to car cass marbling scores, they are not the same trait. Genetic progress for improved marbling is not direct using IMF EPD, but still much improved over using actual ultrasound IMF measures.

IBBA DNA Typing & Parent Verification Policy DNA Typing Effective September 1, 2010 AI sires and donor dams are required to have a parent-verified DNA profile on file prior to registration of progeny. AI sires and donor dams having a DNA profile on file with IBBA prior to September 1, 2010, are grandfathered in and exempt from the parent-verification requirement. In the event that a parent of the AI sire and donor dam is deceased and a DNA sample is unavailable (semen, embryos, etc.) the parent-verification requirement may be exempted providing the DNA profile cannot be constructed, at petitioners expense, from at least three direct living progeny of the deceased. IBBA reserves the right to add parent verification to any subject animal profile already on file should the missing parent’s DNA profile become available.

Parentage Disputes Whenever the eligibility for recording of any animal is in doubt because of uncertain or unknown parentage, the animal will not be registered until the dispute is solved. Any application for registration after March 1, 1997 with a parentage dispute will not be registered until the dispute is solved. Any IBBA animal recorded in the IBBA registry that has a “Parentage Dispute” listed in the first three-generation pedigree is removed from producing registerable offspring and may not be transferred until the dispute is solved. Animals registered prior to March 1, 1997 that have parentage disputes will be noted with an asterisk and may have natural service progeny recorded. These cattle with an asterisk will remain in the breed with the asterisk notation through six (6) generations of descendents.

Southern Cattle Company and Cow Creek Ranch Announce Merger Southern Cattle Company, headquartered in Marianna, FL, announces the merger and acquisition of Cow Creek Ranch, Aliceville, AL, the largest Brangus and Ultrablack seedstock cattle operation in the United States.

The historic transaction brings together the legendary Cow Creek Ranch program, a global leader in Brangus and Ultrablack genetics celebrating their 25th year in business, with Southern Cattle Company, a 15-year-old multi-breed genetics company. As a result of this transaction, Southern Cattle Company has become one of the largest seedstock cattle operations in the United States.

“We are delighted to have Joy Reznicek as part of our team and look forward to carrying on the tradition of integrity and good old-

fashioned cow savvy that Joe Reznicek and his family worked so hard to establish,” states Lamont Ennis of Southern Cattle Company.

Cow Creek Ranch will continue to operate in Aliceville, AL, as a stand-alone company.

“This transaction will create a dynamic ranching company that can deliver long-term genetic value to cattlemen both here and abroad.

By joining forces with Southern Cattle Company, there is significant opportunity for the Reznicek family to continue the Cow Creek Ranch legacy and initiatives shaped by Joe Reznicek over the past 25 years.

We are excited to be a part of their team,” says Joy Reznicek of Cow Creek Ranch.

BEEF 706 GIVES CATTLE PRODUCERS INSIDE LOOK AT PRODUCTION PROCESS By: Blair Fannin, 979-845-2259 Contact(s): Dr. Dan Hale, 979-845-3935, dhale@tamu.edu Seldom does a cattle producer get an inside look at how their calves are processed and shipped to the retail meat case.

However, a group of producers recently got that unique opportunity - and came away learning a lot more about what happens to their cattle once they leave the ranch - at the recent Beef 706 program.

56 | september/october 2010

Brangus Journal

The program, sponsored by the Texas AgriLife Extension Service and the Texas Beef Council, had a group of Brangus producers come to College Station to learn how cattle are graded, fabricated and packaged before being sent to the retail meat case.

“Beef 706 is a program that helps teach cattle producers about the news&noteworthy Continued on page 58

Brangus Journal september/october 2010 | 57

NEWS&NOTEWORTHY Continued from page 56. food side of their industry,” said Dr. Dan Hale, an AgriLife Extension Service meat specialist and workshop coordinator. “The goal is to see transfer from steer to a carcass and finally as retail cuts sold to the consumer. They are taught during the process not only how to evaluate a live steer, but also carcasses. They follow a steer all the way through the process and learn where the value cuts are in an animal.”

Producers began the workshop with a briefing on how to evaluate a live steer, learning the various grades assigned to beef, such as prime, choice, select, standard, commercial, utility, cutter and canner, as well as evaluating the age of a carcass. Participants also learned about yield grades on a beef carcass.

“A feedlot buyer looks at a pen of cattle and determines which way to market those cattle,” Hale told the workshop attendees. “They are trying to direct your cattle to the right fit on the grid for profitability.”

Once the classroom portion was finished, the participants viewed a steer and were asked to evaluate the animal, giving best judgment on quality and yield grade. Next, the producers went back into the classroom and watched videos of eight different steers, ranking each steer in a team exercise.

Hale explained the cattle would either be marketed on a traditional live price per hundredweight for the entire pen, or additional value could be put on the cattle by pricing them on a grid basis or boxed beef cutout value. A quality grid for cattle is a high-end designation such as prime, certified or top choice. The cutability grid prices the finished feedlot cattle based on yield and cutout value.

Teams of participants then suited up and went into a beef fabrication area where they began cutting up one side from their assigned steer, fabricating it into wholesale cuts for the rest of the afternoon.

“These were cuts that ultimately would go to a retail grocery store and in that the attending cattle producers determined they don’t want to be meat cutters all their lives, they are glad they worked with cattle,” Hale said. “Also they’ve learned about where value is in cattle and ultimately why we raise cattle for a food product that has to not only be high in protein and nutrient dense, but also has to taste really good for the consumer.”

The final day of the workshop was spent sampling cooked portions of meat from the steers that were graded by the class, analyzing for taste and texture. Attendees also learned more about beef research going on among Extension and Texas AgriLife Research and the economics of purchased cattle from the feedlot and the value of the cuts of beef sold to grocery outlets.

Hale said the program carries out the mission of AgriLife Extension in educating beef producers more about the industry they serve.

“I think this is a really good way to extend what we learn,” Hale said.

“This program began out of a survey through the National Beef Quality Audit, the survey looked at what beef producers did that might potentially impact quality of beef served to consumers and impact consumer confidence. When we found out that information, AgriLife Extension put this program together to extend that information out to the cow-calf producer.”

Editor’s note: The following can be used as a breakout box: - Beef 706 is program offered to cattle producers who learn more about how feeder cattle are graded and fabricated before distributed to a grocery retail outlet.

- The program is funded through the Beef Checkoff Program and sponsored by the Texas Beef Council and the Texas AgriLife Extension Service.

IS AVERAGE FAIR? The second oldest sport in the history of the cattle business is beating up on the packer, according to Gregg Doud, chief economist for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association.

“I’m guessing the oldest involved a cowboy on a horse trying to rope a steer. No one likes the packer, which is actually strange when you think about it because the packer is an absolutely necessary entity during the process” of converting beef with the hide on it to beef without the hide on it. Who likes to eat hide? Whether you call them a packer, “processor,” or middle man really doesn’t matter,” said Doud.

“They are always one of several buyers in the marketing chain of our product.”

Some are touting USDA’s Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockers Administration’s proposed GIPSA rule as a way for producers to settle a longstanding score with the packer.

Excellence Excellence is what comes to mind when I hear the word Brangus. Our association shines excellence through the many traits that our cattle, breeders, and juniors possess. Whether it’s the beef our cattle produce, the great genes that our cattlemen have bred into our cattle, or the juniors who are the future leadership of our breed …. through all of this, we radiate Excellence.

Excellence is displayed within the impact that we have on one another. One of my favorite quotes is, “to the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.” Within our great association I have truly experienced this quote. Our association differs from any other that I have dealt with in past experiences. We share something that others don’t quite understand; we are truly a family. We are each very competitive within the show ring but the thing that separates us is that we support each other out of the show ring also. We have shared many memories that each of us will never forget from seeing who could get the most gold fish on their fellow team members face in Barn Yard Olympics, to crying tears of joy when a fellow member wins a show. We impact one another with the consideration and fondness of “family” …. Our Brangus Family.

As we do display Excellence to the highest degree, I feel that we can still grow and change our association to become even greater

International Brangus Breeders Association Board of Directors don cox, President saturday, may 8, 2010 Present Absent Guest Don Cox Bill Felton Bill Davis Doug Williams Joe Kassler Dale Kirkham R. L. Robbs Dr. Robert Vineyard Steve Densmore Fred McCreary Larry Parker D. Frank Perry Angelo Zottarelli Don Cox welcomed the new members Larry Parker, Joe Kassler, Fred McCreary and Frank Perry and expressed the importance of Board attendance either in person or on conference calls in order to meet needs and responsibilities to IBBA members.

March minutes had been read with no changes or discussion.

Motion to approve minutes was made by Dr. Robert Vineyard Second by Frank Perry March minutes were approved Dr. Massey reported on March financials. $400,000 was invoiced for Spring THR and total revenues for the month were $415,559.51. YTD revenue is $612,463.21 versus the budget of $657,710.00. The $45,246.79 variance is partially due to the fact that 3,000 head of cattle had to be deactivated for non-reporting but as of this week we have already made up $22,000.00.

Our expenses YTD have been $290,203.90, versus budgeted of $338,625.00 thus producing a positive Variance of $48,421.10. Net Revenues are $3200 better than budget. Receivables at the end of March were $335,351.45 but receivable were already down to $167,000.

A discussion on deactivation of members for non-payment ensued. Dr. Vineyard said some members have approached him on the fact that twice a year reporting is cumbersome and sometimes difficult to accomplish. Larry Parker agreed and shared his experience. The question raised was should policy be changed to accommodate the complaint. Dr. Massey explained that reporting once a year on both calf seasons is acceptable provided the report meets the required reporting parameters. It is not feasible to change the policy as there are other considerations in the process and it seems to work for the majority.

No Action taken Don Cox announced that Angelo Zottarelli will head the new Policy Review Committee along with R.L. Robbs and Fred McCreary and bring suggestions or comments to the Board. A complete set of Policy and Procedures has been sent to Board members.

Don Cox announced a DNA Review Committee of 5 – 7 members consisting of Frank Perry, Dr. Joseph Massey and Dr. Milt Thomas. Other members will include non-Brangus participants to hopefully contribute new ideas and information to present to the Breed Improvement Committee. Frank Perry expressed concern that this new group may conflict with Breed Improvement Committee’s function or duplicate its efforts. Don Cox reassured the purpose of this ad hoc group is solely to gather information and present it, but not act upon it. Participation from outside the Brangus breed may provide a broader view and innovative ideas.

Don Cox called on Steve Densmore and Grant Keenen for a report on the tours of Cargill Packing Plant and feed yard in Plainview, Texas and reported on the possibility of incorporating the IBBA summit to this activity. This, along with a feed lot tour would take place on July 8 – 9, 2010. A block of rooms in Plainview can be obtained for an $89.00 rate and would be reserved by each participant. Transportation (vans) would be needed to facilitate the tour. The other possibility was a 706 tour at College Station that could be combined with the Board Meeting

Staff Present Dr. Joseph Massey Frances Miller Grant Keenen Jim Bulger Elma Ryan

August 11 – 13, 2010. The 706 is paid by the Texas Beef Council. He and Grant Keenen were checking room rates and transportation costs for the tour. They will make a final presentation to the Board. Steve and Grant reaffirmed that the Brangus breed is not proven in the eyes of the packers. We need to do more to promote the quality of our product.

Motion by Dr. Robert Vineyard to have both July and August activities Second by Bill Davis Motion was passed.

Dr. Massey reported to the board that IBBA now owns 100% of GPS including RAAA submitted data. RAAA offered to sell GPS to IBBA for $45,000 but IBBA countered with an offer of $15,000 that was accepted. RAAA had invested $125,000 into GPS. Three members are left on the GPS board and it needs to be re-populated.

Dr. Vineyard reported on the Show Committee. There are various conflicts and violations that should be addressed. One conflict is whether member breeders should be allowed to judge IBBA shows. The Show Committee is developing a protocol on how to address violations. Mr. Zottarelli’s Policy Review Committee might also be able to assist with policy.

Motion by Frank Perry to accept the Show Committee minutes except for bull fertility testing changing from 15 months to 18 months. It should remain 15 months.

Second by Steve Densmore Motion passed Don Cox then led a discussion that a branded beef program would be a good tool to promote the Brangus breed. Grant was asked to further research Brangus tenderness data and to develop a program to present to BOD. A tenderness test must first be done and Joe Kassler offered some of his cattle in the immediate area.

Motion by Dr. Vineyard moved to give Joe Massey the authority to go forward with the branded beef program research and present the findings to the Board.

Second by Frank Perry Motion passed.

Joe Massey handed out copies of a legal opinion from, Darin Digby, IBBA attorney that stated GENETRUST should be considered a single ranching entity as defined by their web-site and registration. No action needed other than future nominations to the Board with this or a similar situation should be considered thus eliminating the possibility of a conflict arising from having more than one GENETRUST Director at a time on the IBBA Board.

Joe Massey was asked for an update on the open staff positions. He has made several offers but has been turned down. Interviewing will continue this Tuesday.

A discussion of Code of Ethics regarding member actions began. - IBBA staff was excused during this discussion.

Robbs Bill Felton Dr. Robert Vineyard Steve Densmore Fred McCreary Larry Parker D. Frank Perry Doug Williams Angelo Zottarelli Don Cox called the meeting to order, thanked the Board members for 100% participation and stressed the purpose of the IBBA and the Board of Directors.

First item was the approval of the May 8, 2010 minutes. Don Cox called for a motion to approve.

Motion by Fred McCreary to accept the Board of Directors minutes of May 8, 2010 Second by R.L. Robbs Motion passed unanimously.

Joe Massey reported on May financials. Through May 31, 2010 our YTD revenues are $665,893.79 which is 2.5% or $17,456.21 behind. THR is down $15,601.00 with reactivation over budget of $4,630.00 and transfer income over budget of $4,584.00. Annual dues are down $19,885.00, but our convention income is up by $6,635.00. Total revenues are down $17,456.21. Our total expenses were $47,634.30 below budgeted amount and our net income was 197,029.09 which is $30,178.09 above budget.

Dale Kirkham asked Dr. Massey if he saw any pattern in the loss of members and could any kind of list be produced to follow up on the non-renewals. Dr. Massey stated that no particular pattern of non-renewal can be isolated, however the loss might be attributed to the economy or members not very involved in the Association. He also said a list can be provided in any of several forms to show non-renewals by region, state, number of cattle, etc. He said that the reactivations are primarily from people who get behind, those who may be liquidating or just practice poor bookkeeping and later discover the oversight.

Dr. Massey stated that next month we may be closer to revenues as we always pick up a few more THR members and activations. Further, he noted that a CattleFax stated trends on the number of cows eliminated and the low number of heifer retention and that he would provide that article to the Board.

Motion by Dr. Robert Vineyard Second by Doug Williams Motion passed unanimously Show Committee Report by Dr. Vineyard Dr. Vineyard reported that the Show Committee had met twice over two conference calls and that the Show Committee minutes of March 4, 2010 were amended to reflect changes inadvertently left out at the time.

The following entry will be part of those minutes with the Board’s approval.

“Myron Saathoff informed the Show Committee that there had been a lot of discussion in the show barn regarding the fitting rules being changed to “no paint.

Sharee Sankey discussed a similar change made by the Angus Association. She said that the rule change was initially a struggle, however now that the transition was over the exhibitors seem to be accepting of the new rules.

Jack Gorczyca remarked that this subject required a lot of consideration and should be brought up later when more time could be devoted to the decision process.”

Motion by Frank Perry to accept the additional verbiage to the minutes Second by Steve Densmore Motion passed unanimously Dr. Vineyard than reported that (and set before the Board for approval) at the Show Committee meeting of June 9, 2010 the following motion was made and unanimously approved.

Myron Saathoff made a motion to include Aaron Cooper in the IBBA Approved Judges list.

Motion by Steve Densmore to accept the recommendation made by the Show Committee

Second by Frank Perry.

Motion passed unanimously

Second by Frank Perry Motion passed unanimously

Dr. Vineyard than reported that the Show Committee had approved that paint be eliminated from all approved shows and Board for approval was now sought.

Dr. Vineyard reported that the Show Committee meeting June 14, 2010 passed to leave the current show rules as they are for the Futurity and the NJBS except for eliminating paint and artificial coloring.

After extensive discussions by the Board including what was meant by “no paint” the following was determined. That IBBA no longer allow paints or any coloring agents of any kind to be used at any IBBA sponsored show and that aerosols of any kind not be allowed in the line-up area entering the show ring. Further, that animals will be toweled in the line-up area prior to entering the show ring and any evidence of paint will mean disqualification from showing.

Motion by Frank Perry to accept this new show rule Second by Bill Felton Motion passed unanimously.

Dr. Vineyard then reported that the Show Committee was recommitted to the following Rules Violation Policy: Develop Policy for Rules Violation 1) A show rules violation to be a valid complaint must be accompanied by a written statement describing the violation, the perpetrator of the violation, and signed by an active member of the IBBA. This written complaint will be presented to an Ethics Committee consisting of the Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Executive Committee Liaison, and an appointed member. All four people will be current members of the show committee. A minimum of two of these members must be present at the Show where the rule violation occurs. The Chairman shall appoint other members of the Show Committee to ensure a minimum of two on this committee at each IBBA approved show.

2) The Committee shall rule on the validity of the rule violation. The committee shall visit with the perpetrator, present the written complaint, and make a ruling on the complaint if valid.

3) The perpetrator is entitled to appeal any decision made by the Ethics Show Committee to the Executive Committee of the IBBA but the Executive Committee has the right to disqualify the perpetrator from the IBBA approved show after hearing an appeal. The Executive Committee’s decision will be final.

4) Without the Executive Committee’s decision, the perpetrator cannot be disqualified from this particular IBBA approved show. However, the animal can be disqualified by the Ethics Committee if the rule violation is deemed valid.

5) For and in consideration of the opportunity to participate in any Brangus function, each exhibitor hereby releases the Association, its officers, directors and representatives from negligence, any and all claims, suits, and judgments past, present, or future, arising from or connected with this policy and the resulting decision there from.

Motion by Steve Densmore to accept the policy as presented Second by Doug Williams Motion passed Unanimously

Frank Perry motioned to accept the above Second by R.L. Robb It was stated that the chairman of the Committee along with the vice chairman, a member of the Executive Committee and an appointed member of the Show Committee comprise the Ethics Committee which will police and enforce the rules. The Chairman will ensure that at least two members of the Ethics Committee be present at any major show.

Motion passed unanimously Dr. Vineyard asked Dr. Massey to get the information out to the National Junior Show as soon as possible. A participant handout will be made available to the exhibitors and be signed and returned to the Committee as acceptance and understanding of the rules.

Angelo Zottarelli, Chairman of the Policy Review Committee presented the following recommendations for policy change.

1. To accept the suggestions made on the Code of Ethics Policy and Whistle Blower Policy 2. The committee agreed that although by way of tradition the normal transition and advancement of the Executives Committee of the BOD has been that the current president becomes past president and all others move up one position the Committee would recommend that this become Board Policy. Additionally, each year the Nominating Committee is to make a nomination for the secretary/treasurer and a nomination for any additional position on the executive committee should someone not be able to serve.

3. The committee recommends that IBBA maintain capital assets reserve equal to no less than 50% of the annual operating budget 4. Committee recommends policy be changed so that any Board member missing two (2) consecutive meetings (rather than three as now stated) would result in immediate termination of his position on the Board, unless extenuating circumstances exist. It was also stated that all prospective Board members should be impressed by the commitment a Board member is charged with and the responsibility taken on behalf of the membership.

5. The Committee recommends that a form of the Beef 706 program be implemented as a form of education and information for our members. A Whistle Stop program on a 5-year rotation and continued web-inar programs to educate and assist our members.

Dr. Vineyard and Show Committee brought the following rule to the Board for approval.

Review of Show Eligibility and Inspection of Exhibits should have item # 4 changed to the following:

6. It is recommended that in addition to the March meeting in Houston a yearly meeting take place in San Antonio the first week to ten days in May and a third meeting in December 7. A recommendation to accept the DNA Typing and Parent Verification as proposed.

“#4 – all calves exhibited at the side of a Brangus female must be registered with the IBBA and meet all rules required for show eligibility and inspections of exhibits”

8. Redistricting of map regions for Board representation.

Motion by Fred McCreary to accept item #4 Second by Frank Perry.

Motion passed unanimously.

After much discussion on item #8 (Redistricting of map regions) it was decided to vote on the first 7 items and table #8 for further clarification. The map will be re-done to present a clearer picture of the proposed changes and will include the number of Brangus cattle in each state.

Show Committee also passed a motion that DNA parentage disputes must be recorded on the registration certificate. Dr. Vineyard brought this before the Board for approval.

Motion by Dr. Robert Vineyard to accept Policy Review Committee’s items 1 through 7 Second by Steve Densmore Passed unanimously

Motion by Bill Felton to accept the recording of DNA parentage disputes

Branded Beef Program Dr. Joseph Massey reported on the Branded Beef Program. A meeting has been set between the Branded Beef Ad Hoc Committee and Heart Brand Beef at their Headquarters in Yoakum, Texas on Tuesday, July 6, 2010. We will learn about their program on supply, distribution, slaughter and marketing techniques that we could incorporate into a plan of our own. He reported that he is in contact with Marcine Moldenhauer who has shared some good ideas on how to approach Cargill on trying to identify where their interests lie.

Cargill Feed Lot Tour in Lockney, Texas Steve Densmore had an update on Feed Lot Tour of Cargill in Lockney, Texas.

There are eighteen people registered for the July 9, morning tour, transportation will be provided to and from the lot, as will lunch before the afternoon video presentation at the hotel by Cargill. This should be very informative as to what feed lot tours are looking for.

Beef 706 Steve also reported on the Beef 706 in College Station, Texas on August 10 – 11, 2010.

Room block was obtained at a new Ramada Inn to accommodate the group.

Included is a tour of Circle X on the evening of August 10, 2010 followed by dinner compliments of Circle X. The following day the program will end at 2:00 p.m. and we will follow with a Board meeting at 2:30 p.m. at the Ramada Inn. Call Elma to make arrangements. Joe Massey said contacted Sexing Technologies in Navasota, Texas and they will host us on Thursday morning to tell us more about their technology and host lunch for the group.

found his archived plans of the building and put together a proposal for an initial evaluation ( items 4 – 6) which consists developing a list pf suggested improvements and provide a cost estimate for items on the proposed list. These initial services will cost $3,000.

Dr. Joe Massey also reported as a matter of information that a recent rain and wind storm has damaged some panels on our roof and a repair is $2,100 with an estimate for more maintenance on the roof of $8,900 with a two-year warranty. He is getting a couple more bids. He also informed the Board that there are cracks on the back of the building that he will address with Mr. Mills during his visit to HQ on Wednesday.

Motion by Dr. Robert Vineyard to accept items 1 – 4 of Mr. Mills’ proposal with the stipulation that the $3,000 charge be itemized.

Second by Frank Perry Passed unanimously Don Cox called for motions on 5 and 6 of Mills’ proposal which consist of additional inspections and possible tests or further investigations. It was decided to wait until initial evaluation was done before discussing or approving the last two items of the proposal.

Motion by Larry Parker to table 5 & 6 until a later date Second by Bill Felton Passed unanimously

DNA Genomic Committee Don Cox has formed a seven member committee as follows. Dr. Milton Thomas will chair the group consisting of Frank Perry, John Spitzer, Vern Suhn, Mark Cowen, Dr. Joe Massey and Don Cox. They will have a report at our fall meeting.

Robbs Membership Frances Miller Joe Kassler Grant Keenen Dale Kirkham Ben Spitzer Robert Vineyard Mary Douglass Steve Densmore Elma Ryan Fred McCreary Larry Parker D. Frank Perry Angelo Zottarelli Don Cox welcomed the Board and all in attendance.

He called for approval of the July 5, 2010 minutes.

Angelo Zottarelli motioned to accept the minutes Bill Davis second Motion was approved unanimously.

Joseph Massey reported on the Branded Beef Subcommittee’s visit and tour of HeartBrand Beef in Yoakum, Texas where they sampled outstanding Akaushi beef. On August 6, 2010, a meeting between Akaushi and IBBA followed at the IBBA office to discuss the possibility of the Association becoming involved with Akaushi and the possibility of developing a Brangus branded beef program.

He reported that the meeting was productive and encouraging, that Akaushi is amenable to any number of possibilities that would be mutually beneficial but that no agreement has been reached with them at this time. Akaushi and HeartBrand Beef have found some outlets for the Akaushi product, but they find the demand is greater than their ability to supply. In order to expand Akaushi’s niche market, a suitable alliance that would ideally provide 500 head of cattle weekly would suit the plan. They are willing to guarantee a premium of $100.00 over the market price with an additional $100.00 if some ownership is retained for a future selling date and the possibility of sharing in the marketing of the carcasses. Although cattle requirement presents a challenge to us at this time, this

is a good opportunity for our commercial program. They are looking to full blood Brangus or a minimum of 50% Brangus for a breeding program and are willing to negotiate semen price. Additionally, they are sensitive to the needs of the Association and are willing to share in net profit.

Don Cox introduced Dr. Steven Smith with the Meat Science Department of Texas A &M who explained the added health benefit of Oleic acid which is a mono-unsaturated omega-9 fatty acid present in Akaushi.

Dr. Massey reported on Cargill Feed Lot Tour. Cargill is one of the largest producers in the U.S. and still has the capacity for more kill. At this time, they are exploring all possibilities but spoke of trying to develop a Texas bred Texas fed cattle brand. We are interested in possibilities with Cargill so Marcine Moldenhauser will set up a meeting between IBBA and Cargill in Wichita to further explore mutual opportunities.

Dr. Massey will report any new developments.

Dr. Massey reported financials for the period ending July 31, 2010. Our YTD revenue budget was $708,990.00 and our actual was $701,225.36 with a variance of $7,764.64. There is no indication that our revenues will change to any great degree and our next invoicing will take place in the fall

around mid October. On the cost side YTD we spent $638,809.65 and had budgeted $700.179.00 so we are $61,369.35 under budgeted expenses. Our net income was $62,415.71 we had a budget of $8,811.00 so we are ahead $53,604.71. No major variances exist. Our current total assets are $1,123,402.37 in the bank and our receivables were $55,487.11. Annual dues are down and no great improvement is expected.

Bill Davis moved to approve financials Second by Frank Perry Motion passed unanimously Dr. Massey reported to the Board that he had spoken to Pfizer who is offering to run the breed specific Angus DNA molecular panel against our bulls’ DNA and provide us with results at no cost to us.

If any of their research should prove publishable, that material would be ours for first viewing. They propose to service our DNA parentage needs since MMI’s service may not be available to us much longer. Additionally, molecular value is being placed on tenderness which might help us validate the tenderness in the Brangus breed. He requested the Board’s approval.

Dr. Robert Vineyard moved to allow Pfizer to use the DNA from U.S. MARC (U.S. Meat Animal Research Center) and move from MMI to Pfizer on the parentage verification issue.

Second by Frank Perry Motion was passed unanimously Joe Kassler reported on the progress of IBBA building maintenance and submitted to the Board the Joel Mills’ analysis and recommendations on IBBA Headquarters. The Board agrees that work on the building is necessary, but is concerned about the expense so they will request Mr. Mills submit a three phase scope of work proposal for the Board to consider and approve.

Bill Davis moved that bids for IBBA building be submitted for the work to be done in

three phases of repair beginning with the exterior maintenance work.

Second by Frank Perry Motion passed unanimously Grant Keenen reported to the Board on USDA recommendations for OptimaxX post audit. Based on USDA recommendations, Grant is drafting some changes to the OptimaxX Manual forms with more detailed and specific information. Additionally, Grant will maintain a regular documented line of communication with the Board. A detailed audit report from USDA will be sent to IBBA to which IBBA will act upon and respond.

Breed Improvement Committee No report at this time Commercial Marketing Committee Steve Densmore reported on and requested $500.00 which is the cost to set up a booth for commercial bull sales at Houston Livestock Show.

Angelo Zottarelli moved that $500.00 be allocated to the Commercial Marketing Committee for their booth.

Second by Robert Vineyard Motion passed unanimously Finance Committee Bill Davis had no report in addition to the earlier financials.

Promotion Committee Joe Kassler reported earlier on proposed building renovations.

He stated the Committee would like to add Bert Miller and asked Elma to send letter of invitation.

“Probably the most difficult part of this proposed rule for commonsense folks to swallow is the part about when a third party can decide whether an agreement between a packer and a seller isn’t fair,” said Spitzer. “This rule clearly attempts to provide the ability for that third party to sue, solely based upon an allegation of a lack of fairness.”

Doud said to the packer and his/her lawyers this threat of liability, litigation and risk has a cost. A cost they may not pay if they can possibly avoid it. He said USDA has already indicated how it will limit this exposure by offering the same standard contract to everyone.

But there’s an important mathematical fact about the term average. It is that half are above it and half are below it.

“By dumbing down the procurement of beef — with the hide on it —and mitigating this exposure to risk and liability, additional per head marginal costs of doing business will be injected into the process,” said Doud.

GIPSA’s own economic study clearly says the advantage of Alternative Marketing Arrangements (AMAs), or non-spot market transactions, is that they reduce costs and allows the marketplace to operate more efficiently. These savings are then passed on to both consumers and beef producers. The economic term used in the study is “surplus.”

If packers walk away from these AMAs due to this rule because they’re deemed “risky” by their lawyers then both this additional risk along with the inefficiencies are added back into “the process,” according to Doud. He said the consumers will pay more for what will very likely be a lower quality product and producers get less for the beef they produce.

Producers will be picking up a majority of the tab in the short run as higher marginal costs are added to the process. Of course, larger producers can spread these costs across more head of cattle than smaller producers, which hurts the smaller half. The packer’s goal in all of this is simply to extract a margin without exposure to any risk between the arrival at the front door and the departure out the back of the processing plant.

NCBA Vice President of Government Affairs Colin Woodall said

the half of producers that should really be unhappy about this rule’s government mandate for fairness are those producers who have expended significant capital and resources to produce premium and value-added products to meet the demand of consumers in the marketplace.

“Via this rule, the value of that bull with better carcass characteristics, the additional costs of traceability, or a brand name, or marketing that lead up to a superior eating experience by the consumer are all at risk. Is that fair? Capitalists prefer a system that rewards innovation and strives to increase demand so that everyone benefits,” said Woodall. Which do you prefer?

International Subcommittee Ben Spitzer reported for Marcos Borges that because of the safety factor in many of the South American countries, no trips are scheduled.

Membership and Education Committee Fred McCreary reported on the committee’s plan that three to five minute segments of information, not necessarily Brangus related but of interest none-the-less, be available to our website user to perhaps initiate continued interest and usage or our website. Interest still exists in web-inars with which Ben will assist. A third idea was a leadership bus tour for junior members to visit a couple of ranches or other beef related activities to meet provide an educational outlet. Further, to develop some kind of agenda conducted during the bus ride to inform and promote the leadership aspect of our Association. Additionally, he requested appointing a couple of non-voting junior members to sit on the Membership and Education Committee in order to further their experience and exposure.

Fred McCreary moved to have two non voting junior members and two non voting international members sit on the Membership and Education Committee Second by Bill Davis Motion passed unanimously Show Advisory Committee and Junior IBBA Advisory Committee Dr. Vineyard reported the concern over the Junior Advisory Committee not being completely aware and informed of the by laws.

Dr. Vineyard and Steve Densmore attended a meeting at the juniors’ request and found that grievances and discussion were spearheaded by the parents not the junior members. Dr. Vineyard expressed concern about the juniors in the Junior Advisory Committee are not familiar with the junior by laws. His concern is that it is apparent that the juniors feel they are members and they feel that they may have special privileges. Don Cox will address the problem and see it through resolution.

Mary Douglass reported that the IJBBA would work more efficiently if the members were to appoint interested advisors that are certain to help and support the junior members. Discussion ensued. According to the IJBBA bylaws, the IJBBA committee chair appointed by the president of IBBA will in turn appoint no more than 15 advisors to the IJBBA Committee. Further discussion is necessary so Don Cox, Steve Densmore and Mary Douglass will meet on this matter and work toward a resolution.

GLOBAL BRANGUS

RoundUp

Bring your Breeding Program to the WORLD! Because the global demand for IBBA genetics is significant and growing, IBBA has put together a unique marketing opportunity for any IBBA member interested in ‘Going Global’. The 2011 Global Brangus Roundup will take place on Sunday, March 6 and will cap off the IBBA Annual Convention and International Brangus Show activities for the year. This one-day event will include a Texas-style meal with entertainment, industry vendors, the IBBA Breeder Showcase Presentation and an excellent oppurtunity to visit with fellow cattlemen from around the world. We are expecting over 200 Brangus breeders and cattlemen from across the globe. These breeders have interests in semen, embryos, and live cattle from both red and black programs.

The IBBA Breeder Showcase is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to expose your breeding program and genetics to the global Brangus community. Participation is open to any IBBA member. There are multiple involvement options, but pen space is limited and will be issued on a first come, first served basis.

A current health certificate will be required on all cattle being exhibited.

Contact Grant Keenen at the IBBA office for further details, (210) 696-8231 or grant@int-brangus.org
