Important Notice to Vendors ARRIVAL OF STOCK - As per timetable of events (page 6).

PRE-SALE INSPECTION: Every animal will be subject to a full veterinary inspection and every animal entered for the sale must be inspected in the Sales premises by the appointed Inspector, on the day of the Sale. Animals infected by the contagious diseased ringworm etc, will not be accepted for sale unless accompanied by a vet’s certificate indicating that treatment has been given and the condition is no longer contagious. The inspection will be co-ordinated by the stewards who will require animals to be brought before the appointed inspector. The inspectors decision will be final and binding. Any animal which fails any part of the pre-sale inspection, will have their ticket red spray marked. These animals will be eligible to remain in their allocated pens but must not have their spray marked numbers removed. Any vendor or his representative failing to comply with this will be subject to disciplinary action by the Society.

Any animal not meeting their weight for age on inspection or that are rejected on veterinary grounds are NOT allowed to go forward for sale.

UDDERS - The attention of Purchasers is drawn to the fact that the British Simmental Cattle Society’s Conditions of Sale, in common with other Beef Breed Societies, do NOT include a specific warranty that females are sold as being “sound” in udder and teats. All known udder faults will, however, be announced.

TATTOO MARKS/UK TAGS - All cattle entered for the Sale will have their tattoo marks/UK Tags examined as an integral part of the pre sale inspection procedure. Any marks found to have faulty, incorrect or illegible marks will be REJECTED from the Sale. Vendors are therefore urged, in their own best interests, to examine the tattoo marks of Sale cattle before the animal(s) leave their farm, so that faulty marks can be rectified in accordance with the required Society procedures.

DNA TYPING OF STATED SIRES WHEN SELLING FEMALES IN CALF As from 1st October 2008 it will be the Vendor’s responsibility to have a Sire DNA typed if the vendor is selling Females in-calf to a stated sire. If the Sire is no longer available and has not been DNA typed it is the Vendor’s responsibility to declare this in the Sales catalogue. (This rule also applies to Private Sales).

To clarify: if a Sire is not DNA typed the Society cannot register his progeny. To obtain a sire profile without the sire, 5 progeny and their dams have to be DNA typed, this is 10 DNA profiles at a cost of £23.10 + VAT each. The purchaser must be made aware by the vendor of the potential registration problems and costs.

UPSET PRICES - There will be an ‘Upset’ price of 2000 guineas on each bull presented for sale - i.e. if no opening bid of 2000gs is received for any particular lot, that lot will be passed out of the ring unsold.

RESERVE PRICES: Vendors shall have the right to refuse to accept the final bid for their animals. The auctioneers reserve the right to charge half commission on the amount of the final bid in the case of animals which fail to reach the Vendors reserve price.

SOCIETY LEVY - A Special Levy of 1½% of the sale price (after deduction of commission) will be charged by the Society in respect of all sales. Such levy will be deducted from the proceeds of sale by the Auctioneers before settlement.

All animals will be sold in guineas (105 pence) and a commission of 5% will be charged by the Auctioneers on all sales. No animal may be sold privately before being passed through the auction ring and FULL COMMISSION will be charged on the sale of any animal sold by private treaty after the auction. All such transactions MUST BE PASSED THROUGH THE AUCTIONEERS OFFICE.

8 THE STEWARDS have the authority to reject any unruly animal from the Show and, at their discretion, from the Sale. EVERY ANIMAL FORWARD FOR SHOW MUST BE PROVIDED WITH A SERVICEABLE HALTER, which will become the property of the Purchaser. White coats must be worn during judging.

PRIZE MONEY - will be withheld unless the winners are sold, either by auction or private treaty.

STRAW: A limited amount of bedding stray will be provided by the Auctioneers free of charge. Additional straw, if required, may be purchased from the Auctioneers.

UNDERSTANDING THE BREEDPLAN PERFORMANCE RECORDING INFORMATION IN THIS CATALOGUE

Only British Simmental GROUP BREEDPLAN EBVs or INTERIM EBVs with Accuracy (Acc) can be validly compared between herds.

ESTIMATED BREEDING VALUES (EBVS)

The EBV is the best estimate of an animal's genetic merit for that trait and they are to be used as a tool to assist in the selection of sires, the visual appearance remains very important.

ACCURACY

An accuracy value is presented with every EBV and gives an indication of the amount of information that has been used in the calculation of that EBV. The higher the accuracy the lower the likelihood of change in the animal's EBV as more information is analysed for that animal or it's relatives.

CALVING EASE

Calving Ease EBVs are based on calving difficulty scores, birth weights and gestation length information. More positive EBVs are favourable and indicate easier calving.

DIR: Direct calving ease indicates how this animal influences the birth of its progeny.

Calving Ease (DIR) EBVs are estimates of genetic differences in the ability of a sire’s calves to be born unassisted from 2 year old heifers. The EBVs are reported as differences in the percentage of unassisted calvings.

Higher, more positive, Calving Ease (DIR) EBVs are more favourable. For example, a bull with an EBV of +5.0% would be expected, on average, to produce 3% fewer difficult calvings from 2 year old heifers than a bull with an EBV of –1.0% (6% difference between the sires, then halved as they only contribute half the genetics). Cow condition is a significant factor on the ability and ease of calving.

DTRS: Daughter’s calving ease indicates how well the animal produces daughters that have easier calving.

Calving Ease (DTRS) EBVs are estimates of genetic differences in the ability of a sire’s daughters to calve at 2 years of age without assistance. The EBVs are also reported as differences in the percentage of unassisted calvings.

Higher, more positive, Calving Ease (DTRS) EBVs are more favourable. For example, a bull with an EBV of +4.0% would be expected to on average produce daughters that have 3% less calving problems when calving at 2 years of age than the daughters of a bull with an EBV of – 2.0%. Continued use of sires with easy calving daughters may reduce the size of the cows and average pelvic area in the herd

12

BIRTH AND FERTILITY

GL: Gestation Length EBV (days) is based on AI records. Lower (negative) GL EBVs indicate shorter gestation lengths which generally relate to easier calving and increased growth after birth.

For example, a bull with a Gestation Length EBV of –2 days would be expected to produce calves that are born earlier, and more easily, than a bull with a Gestation Length EBV of +2 days.

BWT: Birth Weight EBV (kg) is based on the measured birth weight of animals, adjusted for dam age. The lower the value the lighter the calf at birth and the lower the likelihood of a difficult birth. This is particularly important when selecting sires for use over heifers. Birth Weight EBVs are

expressed in kilograms (kg) and are calculated based on weights of calves taken at birth.

Small, or moderate, Birth Weight EBVs are more favourable. For example, a bull with a Birth Weight EBV of +2 kg would be expected to produce lighter calves at birth than a bull with a Birth Weight EBV of +6 kg, with a lower risk of a difficult birth.

Please note, whilst low Birth Weight EBVs are favoured for calving ease they are also generally associated with lower overall growth potential. Consequently, birth weight and growth need to be carefully balanced. Fortunately, animals can be found that have both moderate Birth Weight EBVs and above average EBVs for later growth.

SS: Scrotal Size EBV (cm) is an indicator of male fertility in regards to semen quality and quantity.Higher (positive) EBVs indicate higher fertility. Increased scrotal circumference is

associated with increased semen production in bulls, and earlier age at puberty of bull and heifer progeny. Increased scrotal circumference also has a favourable relationship with days to calving, such that bulls with larger scrotal circumference tend to have daughters with shorter days to calving. For example, a bull with a Scrotal Size EBV of +4 cm would be expected to produce sons with larger testicles at yearling age and daughters that reach puberty earlier than the progeny of a bull with a Scrotal Size EBV of -­‐4 cm.

GROWTH

MILK: 200 Day Milk EBVs are estimates an animal's maternal effect on the 200 day weight of its calf. In the case of sires, this estimates the maternal effect that his daughters will have on the 200 day weight of their progeny. The 200 Day Milk EBV is expressed as kilograms (kg) of calf live weight at 200 days (ie. the expected difference in the weight of the calf at 200 days due to the maternal effect (milk) of the cow). The 200 Day Milk EBV is calculated by partitioning the difference in the 200 day weight of calves into growth and milk components.

The optimum level of milk production potential among beef cows is dependent upon the production system and environment in which the cows are run. Selection for increased milk production may be warranted when cows are run under good nutritional conditions and calves are sold as weaners. However, some environments may not support high milking cows.

13

Larger, more positive, 200 Day Milk EBVs are generally more favourable, depending on the environment. For example, a bull with a 200 Day Milk EBV of +15 kg would be expected to sire daughters with higher milk production than a bull with 200 Day Milk EBV of +5 kg. This higher milk production potential should be reflected through higher weaning weights among the daughter's calves.

200: 200-­‐Day Growth EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of animals taken between 80 and 300 days of age. Values are adjusted to 200 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal's genetic merit for growth to early ages.

400: 400-­‐Day Weight EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 301 and 500 days of age, adjusted to 400 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal's genetic merit for yearling weight.

600: 600-­‐Day Weight EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 501 and 900 days of age, adjusted to 600 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal's genetic merit for growth beyond yearling age.

CARCASE

CWT: Carcase Weight EBV (kg) estimates the genetic difference in carcase weight at a standard age of 650 days.

EMA: Eye Muscle Area EBV (cm2) estimates genetic differences in eye muscle area of a 300kg dressed carcase. More positive EBVs indicate better muscling on animals. Larger, more positive,

EMA EBVs are generally more favourable. For example, a bull with an EMA EBV of +4 cm2 would be expected to produce steer progeny with a greater degree of muscle expression than a bull with an EMA EBV of +1 cm2.

RIB: Rib Fat EBV (mm) estimates the genetic differences in fat depth at the rib in a 300kg dressed carcase. More positive EBVs indicate more subcutaneous fat and earlier maturity.

RBY%: Retail Beef Yield Percent EBV (%) represents total (boned out) meat yield as a percentage of a 300kg dressed carcase. A more positive EBV indicates higher percentage yield for the 300kg carcase size.

Terminal Index

The BSCS Terminal index is aimed at a commercial herd using Simmental bulls over large framed, mixed breed cows to breed steers and heifers to turn off at 16 months of age. All progeny are destined for slaughter and no replacement females are selected from within the herd. There is some emphasis on calving ease while finishing steers at around 630 kg live weight (335 kg carcase weight) using a pasture based production system supplemented with extra rations during the finishing phase.

Use this index in a commercial herd to produce progeny for slaughter. The index has moderate emphasis on easier calving (ie getting a live calf with minimal human interference) while producing calves that will then grow quickly to market specifications at around 16 months of age. The index is focused on slaughter animals and does not account for maternal traits and is therefore not suited to breeding replacement females.

If you are using smaller framed cows or heifers in your herd, then you should also put extra emphasis on a higher calving ease direct EBV when selecting a sire using this index.

14

Self Replacing Index

The BSCS Self Replacing index is aimed at a Simmental herd selecting replacement females from within the herd while breeding steers and excess heifers to turn off at 16 months of age. There is emphasis on calving ease and maternal traits while also looking to finish steers for slaughter at around 680 kg live weight (350 kg carcase weight) using a pasture based production system supplemented with extra rations during the finishing phase.

This Self Replacing index is also suitable to using Simmental sires over mixed breed cows where replacement females are sourced from within the herd. There may be some hybrid vigour expressed in the progeny depending on the breed type of the cows used. Therefore you should consider placing extra emphasis on the Calving Ease EBVs (more positive) of the sire to allow for possible heavier birth weights of his calves due to hybrid vigour.

Use this index in both commercial and pedigree herds where you are balancing the requirements of selecting replacement females while also producing animals for slaughter.

British farmers urged to seize new opportunities rOperating in a truly global marketplace rSurviving without

Government subsidy

By Alistair Driver FARMING Minister Jim Paice has challenged British farmers to ‘set the industry on fire’by leaving the past behind and embracing the opportunities on offer in today’s marketplace.

Speaking at the Oxford Farming Conference, Mr Paice laid out his vision for British farming based on seeking out new global markets, innovating using all available technologies and ultimately thriving without the support of direct subsidies.

He also revealed Defra would be hosting an ‘innovation summit’ in London in March followed by a series of ‘practical’regional events.

He dismissed the view of farming ‘as a quaint old industry’ and urged farmers to look to the future.

“We can keep the cosy image of Buttercup in the field producing a few litres a day and the bucolic farmer leaning on his gate We can sentimentalise farmers as small players in a market dominated by supermarkets at home and multinational conglomerates abroad,”he said.

“Or we can set this industry on fire and take the opportunities and face the reality they provide.”

He insisted his comments were not about advocating ‘big, corporate’ farms over ‘small, family’ businesses: “It is about attitude: whether to pine for the old days of government intervention and protection, or to face the challenges.”

At the heart of his speech was the need for the industry to use ‘the best research, technology and knowledge transfer we can get’ to help boost production, while protecting resources and biodiversity.

Beef’s unique selling point

Driving ambition Mr Paice identified the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) as the ‘professional body’ to drive the industry forward in this area and had asked AHDB chairman John Godfrey to address how this could be achieved. He stressed the industry needed to accept it was competing in a global food marketplace and to seek out export opportunities ‘where we are most competitive’.

Shadow Defra Secretary Mary Creagh said food was ‘one of the defining political issues of this century’, but criticised the Government for failing to address all the issues surrounding it.

Highlighting the role farming and food can play in stimulating economic recovery, she warned of increasing food poverty in the UK against a backdrop of rising food prices, exacerbated, she claimed, by commodity speculation.

NFU president Peter Kendall said he was heartened by Mr Paice’s message.

DISPERSAL OF THE

DOLWEN HERD

On behalf of Messrs B & RL Jones In 1995 we decided to give up milk production and went into keeping Beef Cattle.

However, it soon became apparent that we wanted to start a Pedigree Beef Herd and the decision was made to go for the Simmental breed.

In 2000 the Dolwen Herd was established. The purchase of cows to start the herd came from various bloodlines which included Pasturefields, Crackley, Aden, Caistor and latterly Hockenhull to name but a few. Although most of the bulls produced at the Dolwen Herd were sold privately. The current herd sire is a home bull, Dolwen Cameron, who is a shapely bull with good length and has all the characteristics of the Simmental breed. All the cows in the herd are housed in cubicles.

The holding has never had a TB reactor and has been a closed herd for the last 4 years. There are some current show potential heifers and in 2011 Dolwen Lady was Champion/Reserve Champion at Oswestry, Denbigh & Flint, Anglesey, Eglwysbach and Llanrwst Shows.

Dolwen Snowdrop (lot 62) was shown successfully last year at the Royal Welsh Show as was Dolwen Vernon first in 2009. All cows are in the Premium Cattle Health Scheme and free from Johnes, IBR, BVD and Lepto.

We are now retiring and hope that the cattle will give someone else as much pleasure as we have enjoyed over the last 12 years and also supporting our local shows.

BSCS - CONDITIONS OF SALE 15.1

15.2

15.3 15.3.1

RULE 15 - SALES Preliminary: the subjoined rules are prescribed for the use of members of the Society who may be desirous of adopting them and are applicable to sales of The British Simmental cattle by auction. They shall, in any case, be applicable to all collective sales held under the auspices of the Society and shall be applied and enforced by Auctioneers appointed by the Society to organise and conduct such sales.

Only full members of the Society are eligible to sell cattle at Official Society Sales and are bound by the rules governing these sales.

SALES COMMISSIONS 1) At official sales, which are classified as a production, reduction or dispersal sale the auctioneers will collect on behalf of the Society 1.5% of the total income of the registered cattle sold.

2) At official sales, which are classified as collective sales all animals will be sold in guineas. The Society will collect as a commission a percentage of the guinea as agreed with the appointed auctioneer prior to the sale.

AUCTION RULES The advertisements and catalogues of sale shall state plainly that the sale is to be held under the British Simmental Cattle Society Auction Sale Rules and subject to recommended Conditions of Sale of the National Beef Association.

15.3.2 In all published particulars of female animals to be sold, the Auctioneers shall state the date of the last service in the catalogue of sale, or at the time of sale.

In the event of a cow or heifer having been running with a bull, the date of both the commencement and the termination of the running period must be stated and in the event of a cow or heifer having been inseminated by two or more bulls, or by the same bull at different heat periods, the names of all such bulls and the dates of service or insemination must be given.

NB: If there is an interval of less than three weeks running period and an individual service or insemination by different bulls, Vendors must ensure that all bulls concerned are DNA profiled at the time of use so that, in the event of any question as to the identity of the sire of any calf being raised by a Purchaser after the sale, a DNA profile check can be arranged by the Society on the Purchaser’s behalf, but at the expense of the Vendor, to prevent the necessity of cancellation or refusal of registration which otherwise might result. Arrangements for the DNA profiling of the bulls concerned should be made through the Society so that records can be kept of all details, both by the Society and the DNA Profiling Centre.

15.3.3 The minimum selling age for bulls entered in Official Collective Society Sales is 14 months. The maximum showing age is 2 years old.

15.3.4 An animal cannot be substituted into a collective sale after the catalogue for that sale has been printed.

15.3.5 Vendors whose animals have been officially weight-recorded by Breedplan will have the full range of EBV’s and Society Index Information published in the catalogue of sale to the following criteria:

It will be necessary to birth weigh calves and have a scan and authenticated weight done around 400 days (300-500). For EBV figures to be published in Society sale catalogues and on display cards at the Society Sales.

Bulls born after 1st June 2008 will have to be scanned and calves born after 1st March 2009 will have to be weighed at birth (the official tape measure weight will be accepted).. Additionally an animal under one year of age will be eligible to have figures printed if it has any breedplan recorded weights.

Apart from the publication of Breedplan recorded data in the catalogue of sale, no other unofficial data may be given at the time of sale and Vendors are not permitted to display unofficial or non-authenticated data in the sale premises or on the lairage pens.

15.3.6 In all cases where a female has been flushed for embryo transplant purposes such fact must be stated on the entry form and will be printed in the catalogue.

15.3.7 All pedigree animals catalogued for sale that have Graded or Polled status will have their status and pedigree clearly printed in the catalogue.

15.3.8 Where a registered Simmental female is entered in a sale as being in calf, the catalogue will clearly state the service sire details.

15.3.9 All statements made in the sale catalogue are the entire responsibility of the Vendor.

15.3.10 A Dispersal Sale means the selling of all live Simmental cattle and embryos owned by the member dispersing the herd. Breeders holding a Dispersal Sale may retain bulls for sale providing they are sold within six months of the original Dispersal Sale date. Any bulls to be retained for this purpose must be declared in the Sale Catalogue. Breeders may also retain cattle semen for future use and sale providing all details of this are declared in the Sale Catalogue.

NB: If any other cattle are to be retained by the vendor then the sale will be classed as a Reduction Sale and not a Dispersal Sale.

The Herd Prefix ceases immediately after the Dispersal Sale is completed but membership will not cease until the current Subscription year, relevant to sale, ends. A review of the Sale will be carried out by the Society office once the sale information has been received from the Auctioneers. New membership is only required if the member wishes to set up a new herd prefix. Associate membership is available for those wanting to continue to receive The Annual Review and Newsletters.

15.3.11 The name and address of the Vendor (if more than one Vendor, the names and addresses of each Vendor, together with a clear indication of which Lots in the catalogue belong to each Vendor) shall be stated in the catalogue of sale.

15.3.12 If a bull from which semen has been taken and stored is offered for sale it must be stated in the catalogue whether the semen so stored is to pass with the bull or whether it is to be retained by the Vendor. Breeder guarantees shall not apply to sales of stored semen.

15.3.13 No animal at a dispersal sale (as distinct from a collective sale) shall be offered subject to a reserve bid, the sale of an animal privately prior to the auction is not permitted, nor shall the Vendor bid directly or indirectly for any animal except through the Auctioneers. If, at any time within 3 months after the date of sale any animal offered and bid for at the sale, and not offered subject to a reserve bid, shall be upon the Vendor’s premises or exhibited at any show in his name, except for good reason to be established to the satisfaction of, and approved by the Council of the Society, the fact shall be deemed conclusive evidence that the Vendor has committed a breach of these Rules.

15.3.14 Members may enter an animal in two or more Official Collective Society Sales, during the same sale season, subsequent to animal movement restrictions in force at the time of sale.

15.3.15 Any animal entered for sale, which is a twin or is otherwise one of a multiple birth must be so described in the catalogue. If it is a twin this description shall state whether it is twin to a bull or a heifer and if it is otherwise one of a multiple birth this description shall state the sex of the other calves. A heifer that is twin with a bull or is otherwise one of a multiple birth which includes a bull calf cannot be entered for sale until she has been certified pregnant by a Veterinary Surgeon, except in a dispersal sale in which case it shall be stated in the catalogue of sale that the sale of the twin animal is subject to the Society’s Rules and Conditions.

15.3.16 All calves offered for sale must be identified in accordance with the Society’s regulations and must have been registered or birth notified with the Society by the Vendor, or the entry must have been lodged with the Manager of the Society. The Auctioneers shall have power to deduct from the sale proceeds a sum of money sufficient to cover the costs of such registration or notification in the BSCS Herd Book, if such cost or fees have not been paid by the Vendor at the time of sale. Calves at foot can be sold as Birth Notified.

15.3.17 The Auctioneers shall furnish to the Society, within one week of the sale, a detailed summary of the sale showing the price of each individual Lot sold, the price bid for each individual Lot unsold by reason of failure to reach the stated reserve price, the full name and address of each purchaser and the average price realised for each distinct class of animal sold. Such summary list shall also include full details of any addition, amendment or correction to any of the details printed in the catalogue.

15.3.18 Members electing to sell their cattle subject to these Rules shall have the option of offering their animals subject to the rules governing the importation of bovines into all countries. Such an option must be indicated by the Vendor in the catalogue of sale.

N.B. Animals, which are offered for export sale, are the subject of special conditions, which are binding upon both Vendor and Purchaser.

15.3.19 In the case of any animal to be sold that has been involved in any way in the process of embryo transplant the following information shall be clearly stated in the catalogue of sale: (a) In the case of an animal whose birth is as a result of embryo transplant the fact shall be clearly stated.

(b) In the case of a female that has been flushed for embryo transplant purposes, it shall be clearly stated in the catalogue for sale:

[i] how many times she has been flushed;

[ii] how many embryos have been implanted;

[iii] how many embryos have been frozen but not yet implanted.

15.3.20 For production, reduction and Collective Sales all udders are warranted sound and the vendor must declare any faults, defects or unsoundness at the time of sale.

15.3.21 If a member of the Society shall commit or knowingly suffer any breach of these Rules he or she shall be deemed guilty of conduct derogatory to the character and prejudicial to the interests of the Society’s Memorandum & Articles of Association and Rules as the case may be.

15.3.22 Notwithstanding anything in these Rules contained, the decision of the Council shall be in all matters final and binding on all parties and the Council may order the payment of such costs and expenses as it thinks fit.

A member of the Society being a party to a dispute shall have the right to require the Council of the Society to settle the same.

15.3.23 Calves sold suckling their dams are given to the purchaser free and no guarantees apply unless specifically stated by the Vendor at the time of sale.

Calves sold suckling their dams at any sale under Society rules will be subject to an identity inspection only.

15.3.24 Where a cow or heifer calves at a later date than the date stated in the catalogue, the onus of proving identity of the service bull shall be upon the Vendor.

15.3.25 Any female [cow or heifer] that has been flushed for embryo transplant will be EXCLUDED from the terms of this guarantee but individual Vendors of such animals shall have the opinion of giving their personal guarantee, to be announced at the time of sale.
