Welcome to our 2015/16 bull catalogue, It has been a very busy year in the cattle industry for HCH Genetics. This year we spent a great week at Rockhampton Beef 2015, meeting new friends and catching up with old ones, all who are involved in our great industry. In July and August we spent three weeks in the USA visiting many new and interesting operations as well as all or our current partners and friends. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s USA trip saw us visit 15 states and travel thousands of miles by road and air in one of our most extensive tours yet undertaken. We have once again introduced a range of new bulls to freshen up our line up with a consistent emphasis on phenotype and structure. HCH Genetics are introducing a new line of mineral licks. These licks are aimed to achieve optimum preg rates as well as assist in the growth, development and health of the overall herd. Good luck to everyone for the upcoming season and we hope we can provide something of interest. Please feel free to contact Dale with any questions and be sure to visit our web site and follow us on Facebook for the most up to date information on bulls and their progeny.

Early weaning With evidence pointing towards a dry year cattle breeders would be wise to consider early weaning. There has been a healthy level of research into the effects of early weaning on cow calf performance and the effect on overall profitability. Evidence suggests that it is a more profitable system regardless of the season, however it does require careful, skillful management. Traditionally calves are weaned at seven to eight months of age. Early weaning has been investigated extensively at ages as early as three months of age and even a few studies younger than this. The main advantages of weaning at an early age is the decrease in overall energy required to feed the cow calf unit. Early weaning allows the calf to be fed a specialised, high quality ration without wasting it on the cow. Feed of this quality is more expensive, but the feed conversion efficiency of young cattle is excellent which compensates for this extra cost to some degree depending on the concentrate used. Mature cows can be turned out on rough feed or fed lower quality forage and will still manage to gain weght in time for calving the following year as their energy requirements drop dramatically when they are not supporting a calf (Rasby). If we are facing a year of low forage availability and potentially the need to feed poorer quality forage, this can be of real benefit. Early weaning prior to joining has been shown to have quite dramatic effects on overall profitability of a cow calf operation (Tathum et al). Weaning prior to joining has been shown to improve pregnancy rates, reduce overall feed costs and has also demonstrated improved feed conversion efficiency in early weaned calves, thus earlier finishing times. We all know that the main driver for profitability for a breeding operation is pregnancy rates. The other quite significant advantage to an early weaning system is the ability to increase cow numbers. A study by Tatham, weaning calves at 3 months of age, showed a decreased dse per cow from 15 to 13, allowing for a sizable increase in cow numbers. It seems too good to be true. It is and it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. The potential gains are real, but the management needed is more complex and the margin for error larger. Once the calves are off the cows, management for the cows becomes easier, but obviously more labour intensive for the calves. Calves need to be introduced to a high energy diet over about 2 weeks ideally when they still have access to their dams. Diets should be dry (Larson) with free choice good quality forage at all times and a grain based concentrate with high protein levels and supplemental minerals. Once on the diet they will thrive as long as calves have constant access to high quality forage and concentrate feeding is regular, either with limited lick feeders, feeding a set amount on a daily basis, or using a feed regulator. The concentrate that is selected is very important and it is always a good idea to seek advice on your choice. Concentrates fed should be low in fibre, high in protein, be palatable, buffered and minerals should be provided. Using a buffer such as Acid Buf is a great idea. Acid Buf is available through HCH Genetics and is a highly palatable, effective and long lasting rumen buffer. It would also be worth considering the addition of a pro biotic such as Diamond V Yeast. Yeast products included in calf diets have shown improved growth rates, but a more marked effect on reduced illness, both in numbers ill, mortality and fewer sick days overall. Our qualified cattle nutritionist is available to take you through the whole process and help you set up a management plan. You can call with any questions on 0429 795 468.

HCH Genetics

HCH Genetics Loose Lick Minerals

Unlike traditional licks that provide little more than treat value to cattle, loose licks provide minerals in a highly available form. Our Loose Lick specifications are designed to suit the Australian environment concentrating on minerals such as Magnesium, Sodium, copper, selenium and zinc. As we improve our farming practices and increase the rate of pasture growth we often impact on mineral balance. As pastures improve in their productivity the level of such minerals as potassium increase dramatically; This impacts on cattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to absorb magnesium and increases the risk of grass tetany. HCH Genetics range of weather proof mineral licks can provide the necessary vitamins and minerals to prevent imbalance and get your cattle achieving optimum performance.

HCH Genetics Joining Blend - High Copper, Zinc, Selenium HCH Genetics Grass Tetany Base Blend - Basic brew, Salt, Magnesium, Calcium, Phosphorus HCH Genetics Pre-Calver - High specifications with anionic blend to assist calving HCH Genetics Young Stock Blend - Chelated Micro-minerals and Yeast to aid growth Licks have been developed by qualified cattle nutritionist Jacqui Aylan-Parker (B.Agr.Sci.

Acid Buf conditions the rumen and allows it to work more efficiently. Acid Buf is manufactured from calcareous marine algae, which is harvested from clean, unpolluted waters off the coasts of Ireland and Iceland. It is a highly effective rumen buffer and pure source of bio-available minerals deposited within its structure by the sea, especially calcium and magnesium. Acid Buf is an ideal buffer to use when supplementing beef cattle especially for early weaned calves and young stock in a potentially dry year. Acid Buf is available for purchase through HCH Genetics. Give Jacqui a call to ask any questions or to place an order 0429 795 468 or highcountryheifers@bigpond.com.
