INTRODUCTION

Dear friends and breeders,

I’ve sat down to write this and I was looking at last year’s catalogue for a bit of inspiration and realised I’d completely forgotten how wet it was last year. We couldn’t have had more of a contrast if we tried.

It’s a bloody tough time for farmers right now and in my travels throughout the South Island calf sales in March the only feed seemed to be around Southland, these environmental challenges are unfortunately combining with some extremely hard economic headwinds. While beef hasn’t seen the falls in value the sheep industry has we are anticipating and expecting things to be back this season with the high economic pressures. It’s been interesting to hear how many farms are readjusting stock ratios to higher cattle systems with lower labour requirements and costs when compared with what it takes to run ewes.

We have catalogued 145 bulls this year and the quality and temperament are fantastic. A point of pride for us and something we feel we are consistent with is always providing enough bulls at a very affordable price point.

We are very happy with this season’s calves, with around 600 secured through the South Island from our great bull buyers. They are in a holding pattern of silage and scenery until they start on winter crops in June. The 2022 born steers are currently transitioning onto beet. The tap turning off put short work to plans to get the first 200 away before May but they have their frames laid down and a bit of beet will round them off nicely.

In stud news and to the exciting stuff — as we look to the future we are very excited to provide a Body Condition Score (BCS) RBV in this year’s catalogue. This RBV is available for all Angus Australia members and is something that isn’t cost-prohibitive to collect like NFI. I feel this is now one of the most powerful advantages you will have when buying bulls from AngusPRO members. The reason is that if you want to increase fertility and “doability” in your cow herd, selecting to increase BCS will do just that.

The current fertility measure for females is DTC and at only 8% heritable, let’s face it, it’s shit no matter how much it’s pushed and marketed when it suits. Historically breeders, agents and buyers have associated the rib and rump fats as a way to lift “doability” and fertility, and while rib fat has been supported to increase conception in heifers slightly, it loses its correlation as cows age. Before these words get twisted I am not advocating breeding skinnier or leaner cows, but we are strongly encouraging our buyers to value BCS over Rib and Rump. BCS takes into consideration fat as it’s laid down over the entire animal as well as muscle which cows will metabolise efficiently when the pinch comes on.

In our farm practises and stud principles we have always maintained the importance of cows shifting condition through the seasons as they feed their calves, maintain themselves in winter and start the process again in spring. We are thrilled to now have objective information to make targeted breeding decisions, speed up gains, and go a step further than just our visual assessments.

Our feed efficiency work is going well and we now have two year groups worth of animals through the system. It’s important to remember that EBV Basics ‘101’ is that they remove environmental influences and focus on genetic potential, so regardless of whether animals are fed grain, grass or silage the top animals will shine through when being compared in a controlled environment. We are not measuring NFI to start selecting for feed efficiency on its own, but simply using the results as another tool in our breeding toolkit — which is now well equipped to ensure our clients are heading down a road of higher profitability.

I look forward to seeing everyone on the 19th and we wish you all the best for the rest of Autumn.

Kindest regards, Will Wilding

THE SISTERS ANGUS

The Sisters Angus herd was established by Lindsay and Mavis Haugh in the year 1990 with the purchase of approx. 30 stud cows from the disbanded Emu Plains stud.

In 1991 Lindsay purchased his first Te Mania bull at the annual June Sale. This was the start of long association with the Wilding family and the Te Mania herd.

Lindsay was also quick to see the benefits of supplying the Five Star Beef feedlot and from their initial start up The Sisters has been supplying quality steers to their grain finishing operation.

Lindsay was also very aware of the huge genetic gains that could be made through the use of artificial insemination, and progressed from having a synchronising programme with outside technician to doing his own inseminations of cows that have cycled naturally. Lindsay was always keen to try new genetics on a trial basis and the carcass data he received from the Fivestar steers was invaluable to progressing the genetic value of The Sisters herd.

The Sisters herd now comprises approx. 170 fully recorded in calf females. Heifers are single sire mated to Te Mania bulls, and mixed age cows are artificially inseminated for one cycle to genetics sourced through Te Mania and the wider Genetic sources. Using teaser bulls with cows that are cycling naturally allows us to get upwards of 70% hit rate through artificial insemination.

The Sisters herd has a strong focus on Maternal values such as milk production, fertility, longevity and temperament while also recognising the value of an exponential growth curve and quality carcass attributes. A moderate cow size is also a very important breeding objective.

It is a huge privilege for the Haugh family from The Sisters to be given the opportunity to offer rising 2 year sires for June 2022 sale. We would like to thank the Wilding family for the opportunity, and hope we can keep up the long family association that has benefitted us thus far.

Happy Bidding, HAMISH HAUGH

OUR TEAM

LIVI HARKERSS

Livi has been with us for 3.5 years and is now officially the stock manager at Te Mania. She is currently on a well earned ‘sabbatical’ mustering cattle for eight weeks in Western Australia. She has promised she’ll be back in time for the sale and calving.

MAT MURPHY

Mat started as a casual in November 2021 and is now full-time. He lives at One Tree Hill with his wife Jo and their two sons, Brock and Lincoln. His diverse skill set is a fantastic asset to Te Mania. Mat is running the machinery and has taken on the big role of feeding the GrowSafe animals twice a day, all year round.

RIKKI BROWN

Rikki joined the Te Mania team back in February after finishing a long stint at NZ King Salmon and moving from tropical Nelson to the mighty Hurunui district. He is the farm general for One Tree Hill and will also be assisting Thomas with things related to his interests that aren’t livestock related. Rikki is a keen hunter and fisherman and his eye for detail and perfectionism are proving to be very valuable skills, and he is taking to farming like a duck to water. Will enjoys spending time one-on-one with Rikki, looking at a few mobs of calves in his care — full and content on breaks. The pride he has in his set-up and execution as he learns about animals and grazing brings joy. Will has no doubt he will progress from a general role into a more livestockbased role in time. His passion is infectious and it helps remind the rest of the team why we do it and love it.

THE MEE FAMILY

We welcomed Jared, Ali, Brianna and Carley to the Te Mania team in September 2023. Jared is managing One Tree Hill after a long stint locally at Beckenham Hills and Ali works at North Canterbury vets. The first 6 months have flown by and they are great to have on the team. They spend their summer weekends at rodeos, with the girls barrel racing and breakaway roping and Jarred is team roping. It’s really nice to bump into them following mobs around with the horses. This autumn has been a good test with water and feed but Jared is taking it in his stride with another 600 calves arriving at One Tree Hill from this season’s calf sales.

PETER & SUE DINGLE

We would like to welcome Peter and Sue to Te Mania. They are managing the Willows on the Leader Road, having started in May. Sue is a teacher and will be relieving in the Amuri district, and Peter is hopefully enjoying some irrigated land after moving down from Hawkes Bay to be closer to their grandchildren. We are very lucky to have been introduced to Peter and Sue and the first 2 months have been very pleasant and enjoyable.

OUR GENETIC ADVANTAGE

Angus that bear the originate from a programme committed to producing Angus cattle that will advance the New Zealand beef industry.

The objective of the Te Mania programme is to ensure that commercial clients using our genetics are on a continuous improvement programme within their own herd, and that they are kept at the forefront of the New Zealand beef industry, with performance that rivals the best in the world.

Te Mania’s goal is to offer genetics that will give our clients more live calves, that will wean heavier, grow faster and have exceptional carcase quality. Producing sound, efficient and productive females must be a given in a profitable system.

All our cattle are run and evaluated in large contemporary groups. We ensure all cattle get equal opportunity and are measured against each other to give objective comparisons for the economically important traits of calving ease, growth, fertility and carcase merit.

We have adopted a selection of tools and technology to utilise within the farming system and we use a combination of leading-edge performance yearlings and highly accurate, specially selected semen sires from around the globe to optimise the genetic gain of our herd.

HISTORY

Over 90 years of history, experience and innovation. Four generations of the Wilding family have farmed one of New Zealand’s largest, leading Angus studs.

Dating back to when Frank Armstrong of Akitio in Southern Hawkes Bay, gave his daughter and her husband Edwin Wilding, four top Angus cows and a bull (Tiniber Bay of Akitio) on her wedding day, the foundations of the Te Mania herd were laid.

Te Mania pioneered performance recording of beef cattle in New Zealand and has always led the way in the evaluation and adoption of new methods and technologies. Te Mania was the first Angus herd in New Zealand to record on BREEDPLAN, was one of the first to begin carcase evaluation and then adopt the HD50k technology.

BULL SELECTION PROCESS

During the first 20 months, Te Mania bulls are subjected to rigours, tests, stresses, and inspections. They have developed their own individual set of EBVs and have had the opportunity to stand out from the mob. Of the 240+ bulls born, 135 have made it into the catalogue for the 2024 sale.

At Birth

• All calves are tagged, weighed and given a calving ease figure.

• Birth weights, calving ease figures, the cows mating details, birth date and the calf’s parentage are sent to Breedplan to calculate EBVs for Gestation Length, Calving Ease and Birth Weight.

• These EBVs give us crucial information for selecting suitable bulls for heifer mating and also for selecting bulls for our Yearling Bull Sale.

At Weaning

• Calves are weaned in February.

• Calves are weighed, drenched and given their first vaccination for BVD, Lepto and 10 in 1 booster is given six weeks later.

• Weaning weights are sent to Breedplan for 200 day weight EBVs

Weaning to 400 Days

• Young bulls are run in groups of around 120, drenched when worm counts indicate the necessity, branded and managed to show their potential under the pressure of a large group situation.

At 400 Days

• Bulls are weighed, scanned for rib and rump fat, eye muscle area and intramuscular fat. A measurement of scrotal circumference is also taken. This data is sent to Breedplan to calculate the Carcase and Scrotal EBVs.

• Young bulls suitable for heifer mating are selected for our Spring Yearling Bull Sale at this stage.

• In October we go through all the yearlings again to find the bulls we will use as yearlings. In this catalogue it is Lot 21-41

At 600 Days

• The bulls are weighed. 600 day weights are sent to Breedplan and updated EBVs are calculated for inclusion in the catalogue.

In April

• Bulls undergo a close examination for feet, structure and temperament.

• Xcell Breeding Services semen tests all bulls and checks for penile and testicle defects.

• Bulls that pass this rigorous process are then selected to be catalogued for the sale and the large groups are split into groups of around 20-30 for the sale mobs.

CARING FOR YOUR NEW TE MANIA BULL

Bulls are a large investment and their management has a major effect on herd fertility. A little time and attention to ensure they are fit, free from injury or infection and are actively working will pay dividends. Manage him well and he will repay you many times over.

Arrival

• On arrival check your bull for injuries or lameness. If he is injured or lame have him inspected by a vet and call Will Wilding immediately.

• When your bull arrives he will be hungry, thirsty and stressed. Put him in a paddock with plenty of feed and a steer or an older cow for company. Feeding some hay will settle him down and start his rumen working again.

• If you have to put him with older bulls ensure he has plenty of space and watch that he doesn’t get bullied excessively.

Through to Mating

• Your young bull is still growing. Ensure he is well fed so he can reach his full potential but do not get him over fat.

• Keep all bulls in condition score 3.0 to 3.5. Too much fat around the testicles can impair fertility and over conditioned bulls lack fitness and mobility.

During Mating

• A two year bull should be capable of mating 40 cows over 60 days. An older bull a few more and a yearling between 25 and 30.

• Ensure cows are cycling before the bull goes out. They will need to be on a rising plane of nutrition to commence cycling and have adequate feed during mating to achieve good conception rates.

• If single sire mating change the bull after the first cycle.

• It is vitally important to regularly observe the bull during mating. Make sure he is working properly and no injuries or infections have occurred. Watch for foot abscesses or penile infections. These can be cleared up quickly if treated immediately.

Problems to Watch for during Mating

• Swelling of the penis or testicles. Infections can be caused by something as simple as a thistle or a scratch.

• Lameness or swollen joints. Watch for stiffness in the hips.

• Continuous mounting without serving.

• Large numbers of cows cycling after the first 21 days. A large percentage should be mated in the first cycle.

• Bulls away on their own – possibly injured or sick. If you see any of these problems replace the bull immediately. Semen quality can be affected for up to six weeks post injury or infection.

Don’t skimp on regular checks of bulls during mating. It gives peace of mind for in-calf cow rates.

Post Mating

• Bulls are likely to be down in condition. Drench them and put them on enough feed to bring them back up to condition score 3.0 to 3.5.

• Adequate feed, shade, water and space will allow them to settle quickly and help to reduce fighting.

3 YEAR COMMERCIAL GUARANTEE

All Te Mania bulls have undergone rigorous assessments for structural soundness and fertility and those offered for sale are fertile and structurally sound to the best or our knowledge. If a bull becomes infertile or breaks down due to reasons other than injury or misadventure Te Mania will:

• Replace the bull with a satisfactory substitute if available or;

• Issue you with a credit equal to the purchase price minus the salvage value. This credit must be used at the next Te Mania bull sale

The guarantee covers the purchase value of the bull without interest, cost or damages. The guarantee shall apply providing the bull’s incapacity is not caused by injury or disease contracted since leaving Te Mania. It is calculated on the basis that the guarantee is reduced by one third of the purchase price for each year of standard service from the sale date. A veterinary certificate must be supplied by the purchaser upon request.

If any bull that is purchased does not possess a reasonably fertility, although not totally infertile, any dispute that arises shall be settled by an arbitrator appointed by the auctioneers. The dispute must be lodged within 12 calendar months from the date of sale.

Should your bull be injured during transit notify Te Mania immediately.

ALL BULLS SOLD FOR STUD TRANSFER ARE GUARANTEED FOR 12 MONTHS ONLY.

HEALTH

The Te Mania herd is assessed annually for general health, udder, feet and temperament defects and all animals not meeting our high standard are culled or downgraded to a recipient.

All Te Mania bulls are examined by a veterinarian prior to sale day. This examination includes palpation of the sexual anatomy and measurement of the scrotal circumference.

All bulls have also been blood tested negative for BVD and have been semen tested.

All bulls are vaccinated prior to sale day so they are protected in the event they come in contact with the BVD virus after leaving Te Mania. This provides the highest level of protection possible.

The bulls are all given health treatments including 10 in 1 vaccination, a drench and lice pour on.

Te Mania is a Brucellosis free and TB accredited herd with a C10 status.

SEMEN EVALUATION AND FERTILITY TESTING

Xcell Breeding Services semen evaluation and fertility testing is a practical method used worldwide to eliminate bulls with less than satisfactory breeding potential and is part of our procedure to demonstrate normal reproductive ability. Xcell Breeding Services uses this safe and reliable method to assist the breeder in their desire to produce quality animals.

The evaluation consists of:

Palpation and examination of the testicles, the testis should be firm, equal in size with no palpable abnormality and have scrotal diameter in keeping with industry standards.

The penis and sheath are examined for any apparent abnormality e.g. sores, lacerations, abscesses, hair rings, warts, cork screw, penile frenulum, scar tissue, signs of damage. During electro stimulation the penis must extend from the sheath, straight in the midline of the bull.

Microscopic evaluation of a semen sample for Motility (% of live sperm within the sample) and morphology (% of normal vs. abnormal sperm within the sample).

All the above information is considered and, where there is any departure from normal the bull is either failed outright or re-evaluated at a later date.

Each bull presented by has undergone Xcell Breeding Services semen evaluation and fertility testing on

Greg Mckay General Manager

Disclaimer: As the testing is often done some months prior to the bull being joined, it is important to appreciate that subsequent ill health or injury may render the animal either temporarily or permanently infertile.

It is important to observe young bulls working and it is good practice to back up mate with a proven sire after 2 cycles to cover the possibility of any possible subsequent temporary infertility.

USING TACE PERCENTILES IN ANIMAL SELECTION

Angus Australia Extension Manager

Jake Phillips

Angus bulls sold within New Zealand are registered in two different databases — Angus Australia (AngusPRO animals) and Angus New Zealand. The TACE percentiles in sale catalogues are only relevant to the population they are compared against, meaning you can compare one AngusPRO animal against another, but these percentiles can’t be compared across different breed societies i.e. animals registered with Angus NZ.

It is however important to note that the TACE EBVs themselves are comparable. For most EBV traits, the direct EBV is comparable to establish expected progeny performance differences, however, where the animal sits in reference to the rest of that population (its ranking) can be substantially different across the Angus Australia and Angus New Zealand societies.

Let’s look at the breed average for IMF. Angus Australia’s 50th percentile is +2.2 whereas Angus NZ’s 50th percentile is +0.8 (April 2023 TACE analysis). If you’re selecting bulls based on percentiles, please ensure you are aware of the population they’re compared with, or check the actual EBV figures carefully.

Background

The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation (TACE) routinely publishes estimated breeding values (EBV) percentile rankings for all animals in the TACE evaluation. The percentile value for each animal is displayed alongside the Estimated Breeding Values (EBV) and the selection index values on various platforms such as in the Angus database search results, TACE herd reports and customised sale catalogues.

The percentile value describes where an Angus animal sits in the current TACE population for a specific EBV (i.e. genetics for a specific trait) or Selection Index (i.e. genetics for a specific production system). The current TACE population is specifically devised from the Angus animals that have a birth year two years older than the current analysis year. For example, for the 2023 evaluations, the 2021 drop Angus animals are set as the percentile benchmarking population. This will be updated to the 2022 drop animals for the 2024 evaluations. This ensures we are effectively benchmarking EBVs to a current (i.e. modern) population of Angus animals.

An example of interpreting percentile values is if an animal’s 400 Day Weight EBV is +101kg, which is ranked in the 20th percentile (April 2023), effectively 80% of 2022 drop calves will have an EBV that is ranked lower than that individual. Similarly an animal with an Intramuscular Fat EBV of +1.0% ranks in the 80th percentile, with 80% of the 2022 drop calves with an EBV that ranks higher than that animal.

The TACE analysis supplies percentile results on all animals within the TACE analysis and displays these on a ranking from the top 1% of the breed (1st percentile) to the bottom

1% of the breed (99th percentile). The use of percentiles has become an easy-to-interpret tool for cattle breeders to establish whether the animal in question is more desirable or less desirable for specific breeding programs and objectives.

Who is getting compared?

Percentiles are relevant to the population they are being compared against, meaning the published TACE percentiles are relevant only to cattle registered with Angus Australia and can not be compared across different breeds, or within the Angus breed across different breed societies i.e. Angus New Zealand. It is however important to note that the TACE analysis is a joint analysis of Angus Australia and Angus New Zealand resulting in the TACE EBVs themselves being comparable. It is the published percentiles that are not comparable due to comparing two different benchmark populations.

A variation of this is the structural EBV analysis which is conducted by Angus Genetics Incorporated (AGI Inc), a subsidiary of the American Angus Association, from combined datasets from the Angus Australia, American Angus and Canadian Angus structural records. For this reason, structural EBVs on animals registered with Angus New Zealand can not be compared to animals registered with Angus Australia — completely separate and different analysis models.

For most other EBV traits, the direct EBV is comparable to establish expected progeny performance differences, however, where the animal sits in reference to the rest of that population (its ranking) can be substantially different across the two societies.

For example, in the April 2023 TACE analysis, Angus Australia’s registered animals have a breed average for 400 Day Weight of +90. The Angus New Zealand average is +76. This means an animal ranking in the 50th percentile (breed average) for 400 Day Weight registered with Angus Zealand, would actually rank in the 85th percentile of the breed when compared to those animals registered with Angus Australia that have the same EBV. The different averages of populations can largely be put down to production system differences, and environmental constraints, coupled with the dedicated selection of certain traits over time by Angus cattle breeders.

Another example shows that the New Zealand Angus registered population has a higher Rib and Rump Fat EBV, indicating estimates of genetic differences between animals in fat depth at the 12/13th rib site and the P8 site in a 400kg carcase. The Angus Zealand 2021 born calves’ EBV average is +1.1 for both traits, which puts those animals within the top 25th percentile of the Australian population.

Let’s Compare the Percentiles — Baldridge Beast Mode B074

Table 1 (below) shows the different percentile rankings on a high-use, high-accuracy AI sire with calves registered in both countries.

For Baldridge Beast Mode B074 (Table 1) the same set of EBVs applies to each country (TransTasman TACE analysis), however, the percentile ranking can be vastly different for each EBV when compared to a population-specific percentile — Angus New Zealand or Angus Australia.

An alternative way to view this is to compare the breed average or 50th percentile for both populations. Table 2 (below) highlights the EBV differences between the 50th percentile for each population — Angus New Zealand or Angus Australia.

How do You use Percentiles for Selection?

Simply accepting that the highest percentiles for each EBV indicate the most ‘desirable’ is a flawed approach without understanding what each EBV represents. An example of this is the Mature Cow Weight EBV, where the higher percentiles (e.g. top 1%) indicate heavier mature cows, which may not be aligned with the individual breeding objective of breeders trying to maintain mature cow weights. Similarly, a Leg Angle EBV in the higher percentiles is indicating the animal is likely to contribute a leg angle score in progeny which is lower or closer to a score of 5 (i.e. straighter). Similar to Mature Cow Weight, selecting on higher percentile for this EBV may not align with a breeding objective in some situations.

Importantly the variation that exists in the EBV needs to be considered to make an informed selection decision and considering the percentile of the breeding candidates. For example, the difference between the 1st percentile and the 99th percentile for 400 Day Weight is +122kg to +57kg respectively. Assuming, all other things being equal, 50% of this difference is passed down to the progeny resulting in an expected average weight difference between the progeny of 32.5kg at 400 days. Another trait such as Carcase Rib

Fat has the 1st percentile EBV at +4.2 and the 99th percentile at -4.1, resulting in an average difference observed in the progeny (based on a 400kg steer carcase) of approximately 4.2mm. Both of these traits and the variation represented are likely to have different economic importance for each cattle breeder.

A challenge for breeders is to balance the number of mating candidates that are available to meet their selection criteria, while also choosing to select cattle that rank high on EBV percentiles in their traits of importance. Generally, an increased amount of selection pressure (i.e. higher expectations) placed on the group of animals will ultimately also reduce the number of animals that meet the criteria. This should encourage breeders to identify their own traits of importance to focus on, as they may be different to others’ operations.

An example of this occurring is by reviewing the 267 Angus semen sires (from April 2023) listed with Angus SemenSELECT on the Angus Australia website — no individual animal ranks higher than the breed average for every EBV, however, more than 234 of these bulls have 5 traits or more considerably above breed average, further highlighting the need to have a defined breeding objective with established traits of importance.

With the addition of percentile graphs to rank search results and various published EBV reports, breeders are able to quickly establish if a potential candidate suits their breeding requirements and warrants a further investigation without having to know the detail of a specific EBV or breed average EBV value.

The EBV percentile graphs can be utilised as a visual tool to understand the strengths and weaknesses of an individual animal’s genetic trait profile, or as an average of a group of cattle in some circumstances. It can also be used to compare the attributes of different animals and to identify which has the best combination of genetics for a given scenario.

Consider the three bulls in graphs 1,2 & 3 (right), and their potential to be used as heifer bulls (i.e. joined to yearling heifers that will calve at 2 years of age). The biggest differences between the three bull examples are seen for the calving traits — Calving Ease Direct, Calving Ease Daughters, Gestation Length and Birth Weight — while

Graph 2 (Bull 2)

Graph 3 (Bull 3)

maintaining some similarities in the weight traits — 200 Day Weight, 400 Day Weight, 600 Day Weight and Mature Cow Weight. Bull 1 is a high-growth bull, being in the 10th percentile (top 10% of the breed) for 200, 400 & 600 Day Weight. This bull is also in the top 30% of the breed for calving ease traits, this is a major difference to bull 2 who is in the 80th percentile for calving ease traits (less desirable for heifer mating).

Another example shows the bull displayed in graph 3 having similar calving ease and growth EBV trait percentiles to that of bull 1, however, he is the only bull of the 3 examples to also have both rib fat and rump fat EBVs in the 20th percentile or higher.

Take Home Messages

• Establish which traits are most important to you and aligned with your Breeding Objectives.

• Use percentile values across the TACE population to rank animals based on their EBV for specific traits from the 1st (highest) to the 99th (lowest) percentile.

• The percentile value indicates the proportion of the current benchmark population that ranks above or below the individual for that trait.

• The ranking is taken from the comparison against 2-yearold animals at the time of the analysis i.e. 2021 born calves form the percentile benchmark population in 2023.

• All animals deriving their EBVs from the TACE analysis are directly comparable on EBV but not necessarily their percentile values e.g. when comparing published percentile values on Angus Australia registered animals with Angus New Zealand registered animals.

• Percentile graphs are an easy way to establish if an animal is more or less suitable compared to the breed average and percentiles for a particular breeding objective.

• Apply a balanced approach to selection, with percentiles being only part of the tools available to assist you with making a balanced selection decision. The highest percentile values (i.e. top 1%) may not be the most appropriate choice for all breeding objectives.

The best insurance policy you’ll get on your bull this season.

• Allows you as a purchaser to be more confident that the progeny performance of the bull you purchase will match his figures

• Increases the accuracy of Angus BREEDPLAN EBVs and indexes for young Angus bulls, with limited or no progeny, daughters, or carcass information

• Increases the accuracy of Angus BREEDPLAN EBVs for time consuming, difficult, expensive and hard-to-measure traits, such as intramuscular fat and eye muscle area

UNDERSTANDING THE TRANSTASMAN ANGUS CATTLE EVALUATION (TACE)

WHAT IS THE TRANSTASMAN ANGUS CATTLE EVALUATION?

The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation is the genetic evaluation program adopted by Angus Australia for Angus and Angus influenced beef cattle. The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation uses Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP) technology to produce Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) of recorded cattle for a range of important production traits (e.g. weight, carcase, fertility).

The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation is an international genetic evaluation and includes pedigree, performance and genomic information from the Angus Australia and Angus New Zealand databases, along with selected information from the American and Canadian Angus Associations.

The TransTasman Angus Cattle Evaluation utilises a range of genetic evaluation software, including the internationally recognised BLUPF90 family of programs, and BREEDPLAN® beef genetic evaluation analytical software, as developed by the Animal Genetics and Breeding Unit (AGBU), a joint institute of NSW Agriculture and the University of New England, and Meat and Livestock Australia Limited (MLA).

WHAT IS AN EBV?

An animal’s breeding value can be defined as its genetic merit for each trait. While it is not possible to determine an animal’s true breeding value, it is possible to estimate it. These estimates of an animal’s true breeding value are called EBVs (Estimated Breeding Values).

EBVs are expressed as the difference between an individual animal’s genetics and a historical genetic level (i.e. group of animals) within the TACE genetic evaluation, and are reported in the units in which the measurements are taken.

USING EBVS TO COMPARE THE GENETICS OF TWO ANIMALS

TACE EBVs can be used to estimate the expected difference in the genetics of two animals, with

the expected difference equating to half the difference in the EBVs of the animals, all other things being equal (e.g. they are joined to the same animal/s).

For example, a bull with a 200 Day Growth EBV of +60 would be expected to produce progeny that are, on average, 10 kg heavier at 200 days of age than a bull with a 200 Day Growth EBV of +40 kg (i.e. 20 kg difference between the sire’s EBVs, then halved as the sire only contributes half the genetics).

Or similarly, a bull with an IMF EBV of +3.0 would be expected to produce progeny with on average, 1% more intramuscular fat in a 400 kg carcase than a bull with a IMF EBV of +1.0 (i.e. 2% difference between the sire’s EBVs, then halved as the sire only contributes half the genetics).

USING EBVS TO BENCHMARK AN ANIMAL’S GENETICS WITH THE BREED

EBVs can also be used to benchmark an animal’s genetics relative to the genetics of other Angus or Angus infused animals in Australia.

To benchmark an animal’s genetics relative to other Angus animals, an animal’s EBV can be compared to the EBV reference tables, which provide:

• the breed average EBV

• the percentile bands table

CONSIDERING ACCURACY

An accuracy value is published with each EBV, and is usually displayed as a percentage value immediately below the EBV.

The accuracy value provides an indication of the reliability of the EBV in estimating the animal’s genetics (or true breeding value), and is an indication of the amount of information that has been used in the calculation of the EBV.

EBVs with accuracy values below 50% should be considered as preliminary or of low accuracy, 50-74% as of medium accuracy, 75-90% of medium to high accuracy, and 90% or greater as high accuracy.

SELECTION INDEXES

Genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a typical commercial self replacing herd using Angus bulls. This selection index is not specific to a particular market end-point, but identifies animals that will improve overall net profitability in the majority of commercial, self replacing, grass and grain finishing beef production systems.

Higher selection indexes indicate greater profitability.

$PRO %

Genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a commercial self replacing herd based in New Zealand that targets the production of grass finished steers for the AngusPure programme. Steers are assumed marketed at approximately 530 kg live weight (290 kg carcase weight with 10 mm P8 fat depth) at 20 months of age, with a significant premium for steers that exhibit superior marbling.

Higher selection indexes indicate greater profitability.

FEED EFFICIENCY AT TE MANIA

At Te Mania, we continuously seek opportunities for progress to enhance our clients’ herds, both now and in the future. With the help of our partner Thomas Grothe, we took a significant step by partnering with Vytelle to accurately capture data on feed efficiency. We aimed to identify which animals could achieve comparable or greater growth with a reduced feed intake. In simpler terms, we’re looking for animals with reduced maintenance needs for self-sustainability. We firmly believe that these more efficient genetic traits will enable our clients to meet their environmental goals while maintaining a sustainable and profitable cattle farming operation.

As we’ve moved through the second year with our Vytelle SENSE system, we have tested 600 animals, including bulls and heifers. Our sale bulls have been tested across two different trials. We are consistently surprised by raw measurements, where we can clearly see the data from animals eating significantly less than their estimated intake, but growing at similar rates to others.

Vytelle has its own reference population of 69,000 animals globally that have been feed efficiency tested. So when our data is included, they are able to record EBVs independently of the Angus Evaluation. In time, our data will also feed into the Angus Evaluation to make Net Feed Intake breeding values more accurate – but for now we are using the Vytelle EPDs, which are shown in the tables below. We are also able to benchmark our results against Vytelle’s wider database and we are excited to see that we have animals that are within the top 10% of that evaluation!

Net Feed Intake is a moderately heritable trait (26-85%), and when used as a selection tool, will result in progeny that consume less feed for the same level of production.

• Reduction of overall feed intake by up to 12% while maintaining the same level of production

• Reduction in the maintenance requirements of the herd by 9-10%

• Improvements in the feed conversion rates of calves from 9-15%

• Reduction of manure NPK production by 17% and GHG emissions such as methane by 30%

Because the sale bulls have been tested across different groups and at different times of the year, the EBVs are the most reliable values to compare between bulls. As we collect more generations of data, the EBVs will become more and more accurate.

Will Wilding says that as Te Mania has come through its second year of bulls and heifers it’s exciting to be able to extend the capacity of animals coming through.

“To this end, we have been approached by our Hereford partners at Lime Hills, Orari Gorge and Okawa Herefords, who want to analyse their animals and this will be happening in the coming months. This progress highlights the very exciting opportunity that our system is delivering to the beef industry as a whole.”

Will adds that it’s important to understand that the feed efficiency data is not being collected for single trait selection, but rather to increase Te Mania’s data accuracy and knowledge of their animals as a whole and breed an overall better genetic package for their clients.

“Essentially it’s another tool enabling us and our clients to make better breeding decisions.”

FEED EFFICIENCY AT TE MANIA

The chart below and the following table show the Average Daily Gain (ADG) EPD and Residual Feed Intake (RFI) EPDs, comparing the different bulls in their lots.

Please note that some sale bulls do not have their data recorded due to missing qualification at time of testing.

Bulls in the top right quadrant are most likely to have lower feed requirements for higher average daily gain and are our higher efficiency bulls.

ADG EPD: average daily gain expected progeny difference, calculated for each individual animal based on their phenotypic ADG values and pedigree information. Higher ADG EPDs are more favourable.

RFI EPD: residual feed intake expected progeny difference, calculated for each individual animal based on their phenotypic RFI values and pedigree information. Lower RFI EPDs are more favourable.

Estimated Progeny Difference (EPD) vs Estimated Breeding Value (EBV): Both EPDs and EBVs are estimates of genetic performance. EBVs estimate the breeding value or genetic merit of an individual animal for a trait. EPDs predict how the future progeny of an animal will perform compared to the breed average for a trait.

NOTES

ANGUSPRO INDEX ($PRO)

“A feature of the $PRO index is a selection advantage of close to 0 for mature cow weight, meaning that selection on this index will maintain mature cow weight, while still increasing growth to 200, 400 & 600 days of age.” - ANGUS AUSTRALIA

The AngusPRO index ($PRO) estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a commercial self replacing herd based in New Zealand that targets the production of grass finished steers for the AngusPure programme.

Daughters are retained for breeding and therefore female traits are of importance.

Steers are assumed marketed at approximately 530 kg live weight (290 kg carcase weight with 10 mm P8 fat depth) at 20 months of age, with a significant premium for steers that exhibit superior marbling.

SELECTION INDEX SUMMARY

• New Zealand production system.

• Self Replacing herd.

• Daughters are retained for breedeing.

• Steer progeny are finished on pasture for the AngusPure programme.

• Steer progeny slaughtered at carcase weight of 290kg at 20 months of age.

• Significant premium for steers that exhibit superior marbling.

TRAIT CONTRIBUTIONS

Figure 1. shows the traits that are considered in the PRO index, and how much they contribute to the overall balance of the selection index. The larger the segment, the greater the impact on the selection index.

SELECTION ADVANTAGE

Figure 2 shows the selection advantage if animals are selected using the $PRO index.

The selection advantage is calculated by ranking well used sires within the Angus breed on the $PRO index, and comparing the average EBVs of the sires in the highest 10% with the average EBVs of all sires from which they were selected. For example, the sires ranked in the highest 10% based on the $PRO index had 9 kg higher 400 Day Weight EBVs and 1.2 kg lower Birth Weight EBVs than the average EBVs of the sires from which they were selected.

The selection advantage is indicative of the long term direction and relativity of response that will occur in individual traits if selection is based on the $PRO index. The actual response that is observed will vary depending on the features of the individual breeding program.

A feature of the $PRO index is a selection advantage of close to 0 for mature cow weight, meaning that selection on

MATURE BODY CONDITION AND MATURE COW HEIGHT RBVS

This year we have included the Mature Body Condition (BCS) and Mature Cow Height (MCH) RBVS in a table.

While they are still RBVs (Research Breeding Values) and a geneticist is doing a report due out later this year about their findings, we are very excited and optimistic for them to become a full EBV.

I am cautiously anticipating BCS to have the same impact that it has shown to have in the progeny tests where a lift in BCS has a lift in fertility and also overall doability. While this hasn’t been confirmed with results released for the RBV yet, I feel that we should give our buyers the option to use the information we currently have available and potentially get a head start on selecting for these traits.

Mature Cow Height is in the same boat as far as being confirmed, but I also feel this is a good opportunity to use an RBV to potentially shape the phenotype of your herd. Lowering cow height however, won’t lower maintenance requirements as nutrition can still be attributed to a % of body weight but I am interpreting it as a way to cap off the frame.

For Mature Condition Score (BCS) a higher number indicates a greater body condition score.

For Mature Cow Height (MCH) a lower number indicates a shorter animal, while a higher number indicates a taller animal.

HERITABILITIES OF TRAITS IN ANGUS GROUP TACE (TRANSTASMAN ANGUS CATTLE EVALUATION).

Only part of the variation that we observe among animals is due to genetic differences. The majority of the variation is generally due to non-genetic factors such as differences in environment and nutrition. The degree to which genetic differences influence performance varies from trait to trait. This is explained by differences in the “heritability” of the traits. Growth and carcase traits tend to have moderate to high heritabilities (i.e. 20 to 60%), whilst maternal traits have low heritabilities (10% or lower). Angus TACE takes into account the different degrees of heritability of various traits, and the known genetic relationships between the traits.

The amount of genetic influence in a trait.

PERCENTILE BANDS - IMPORTANT INFO

Angus bulls sold within New Zealand are registered in two different databases — Angus Australia (AngusPRO animals) and Angus New Zealand. The TACE percentiles in sale catalogues are only relevant to the population they are compared against, meaning you can compare one AngusPRO animal against another, but these percentiles can’t be compared across different breed societies i.e. animals registered with Angus NZ.

It is however important to note that the TACE EBVs themselves are comparable. For most EBV traits, the direct EBV is comparable to establish expected progeny performance differences, however, where the animal sits in reference to the rest of that population (its ranking) can be substantially different across the Angus Australia and Angus New Zealand societies.

Let’s look at the breed average for IMF. Angus Australia’s 50th percentile is +2.2 whereas Angus NZ’s 50th percentile is +0.8 (April 2023 TACE analysis). If you’re selecting bulls based on percentiles, please ensure you are aware of the population they’re compared with, or check the actual EBV figures carefully.

PARENT VERIFICATION SUFFIXES

The animals listed within this catalogue including its pedigree, are displaying a Parent Verification Suffix which indicates the DNA parent verification status that has been conducted on the animal. The Parent Verification Suffixes that will appear at the end of each animal’s name.

The suffix displayed at the end of each animal’s name indicates the DNA parentage verification that has been conducted by Angus Australia.

PV : both parents have been verified by DNA.

SV : the sire has been verified by DNA.

DV : the dam has been verified by DNA.

# : DNA verification has not been conducted.

E : DNA verification has identified that the sire and/or dam may possibly be incorrect, but this cannot be confirmed conclusively.

FINDING TE MANIA NZ ON ANGUS.TECH

With Te Mania Australia already present on the Angus Australia database, we have had to use the Prefix FTM until we work out a suitable arrangement to avoid confusion between the two herds. We have named all our animals from 2020 on as TMNZ, so if you do a search with “name contains TMNZ” or the prefix FTM you will be able to find our animals.

This QR code will take you to our catalogue in angus.tech, where you can search and draft animals on your set criteria.

HEALTH AND SAFETY WHILST ON FARM

Every effort will be taken by the Vendors, PGG Wrightson, their staff and assistants, both on the sale day as well as any visits of inspection to ensure the safety of intending buyers and visitors. We wish however to advise that while this sale is run under normal management conditions, certain dangers exist in relation to livestock and their environment. Visitors should take care to ensure their personal safety.

WHY BVD / PI TEST?

All bulls offered through the Te Mania have been screened for persistent infection (PI) for the bovine viral diarrhoea virus.

The screening provides Te Mania bull buyers the utmost confidence that their new seedstock are not “carriers” of the BVD virus.

For cattleman, the primary concern of spreading the BVD virus is through PI cattle, with transiently (or temporarily) infected cattle considered a less important source of the disease.

PI animals are very efficient transmitters of the virus. They usually have a very high and virulent amount of the virus circulating in their blood and other fluids and they shed the BVD virus continually.

A PI calf is “created” during pregnancy when the BVD virus from an infected dam’s bloodstream crosses the placental wall to her foetus during the first part of gestation. This is the ONLY WAY a PI animal is created.

Foetal infection can lead to foetal death, the birth of a PI calf, or the birth of a normal calf.

It’s important to note that a calf born BVD-PI will always be a PI animal. Id a calf is not a PI at birth it can never become a PI.

While uncommon, PI calves can grow to adult age without any outward signs of the BVD infection.

The virus is perpetuated when these PI animals – bulls or heifers – survive past yearling age and enter the breeding herd. PI heifers or cows that conceive will always produce a PI calf. A PI bull has the dangerous potential to effectively and efficiently spread the BVD virus to all cattle he comes into contact with.

Immunising cattle herds with the appropriate vaccines to protect against transient infection should be the first consideration in a herd biosecurity program. But, given the right conditions, the tremendous amount of virus secreted by a PI calf can overwhelm a level of immunity provided by vaccination to its herd mates.

The cost of at least one PI animal in a commercial beef breeding herds has been reported to range from $14$24 per cow per year in reduced reproductive efficiency alone. Research also indicates the probability of initial treatment of respiratory disease is 43% greater in cattle exposed to BVD-PI cattle in the same mob or feedlot pen.

Therefore the cost of the BVD virus is too great to leave to chance

That’s why we recommend all cattle entering your herd – including your new bulls must be screened for the BVD virus before they enter your operation.

Here are some other key points:

• All open heifers purchased should be screened for BVD-PI status well in advance of breeding

• Purchased heifers or cows with an unknown BVD-PI status should be kept separate from the resident herd until their PI status can be confirmed by first screening their calves

• Screen all new crop calves in advance of breeding to avoid exposure of a pregnant cow by a PI calf

• Cows do not need to be PI tested unless they have a PI calf

• If an animal tests negative for the BVD-PI status there3 is not need to ever retest that animal

• PI animals should be isolated from the herd and culled immediately

• PI surveillance should include sampling and testing of as many aborted foetus’, stillborns and preweaning deaths as possible

These are some guidelines to help minimise the effect BVD can have on the health of your cow herd and the financial implications that this serious virus can create.

RECESSIVE GENETIC CONDITIONS

Information on undesirable genetic conditions, Arthrogryposis Multiplex (AM), Neuropathic Hydrocephalus (NH) and Contractural Arachnodactyly (CA) and Developmental Duplication (DD)

All breeds of cattle have undesirable genetic conditions. Fortunately with today’s DNA technologies those in Angus cattle can be managed.

What are they?

(AM) Arthrogryposis means ‘curved or hooked joints’. Multiplex indicates there are multiple abnormalities associated with the condition. Animals with the Neuropathic (NH) condition have a large head. Both AM and NH affected calves are born dead. Calves affected by Contractural Arachnodactyly (CA) are born alive and can reproduce. Muscle contractures restrict the movement of joints, particularly in the hind legs. Abnormal muscle contractures decrease dramatically as the calf ages but muscle development always remains poor. Developmental Duplication (DD) is also referred to as polymelia. Many affected animals are absorbed in utero or aborted early in gestation. Those that survive to birth typically have additional limbs (usually extra front legs) originating from the neck or shoulder region. The number of reported cases of AM, NH, CA and DD calves is very low and there is certainly no need to panic.

How are the conditions inherited?

Both the sire and the dam need to be a carrier (carry one copy of the gene each) to have progeny that have two copies of the recessive gene. Only a few pedigrees are carriers of the recessive gene.

Two copies of the undesirable gene need to be present before the condition is seen; in which case you may get an abnormal or dead calf. Animals with one copy of the undesirable gene (and one copy of the normal gene) appear normal and are known as “carriers”. Carriers, will on average, pass the undesirable gene onto a random half (50%) of their progeny. When a carrier bull is mated to a carrier cow there will be a 25% chance that the progeny produced will have two normal genes. There will be a 50% chance that the mating will produce a carrier and there will be a 25% chance that the progeny have two copies of the undesirable gene and the calf will be abnormal. For the condition to be expressed the undesirable gene needs to be present on both sides of the pedigree and both the sire and the dam need to be a carrier.

A DNA-based test has been developed which determines whether an animal is a carrier or free of the AM, NH or CA gene. After DNA testing animals are classified in these categories: AMF, NHF, CAF or DDF – Tested free of the undesirable gene AMC, NHC, CAC or DDC – Tested as carriers of the undesirable gene

NZ Angus uses sophisticated software to calculate the probability of all untested animals on their database to be a carrier and this is reported as a percentage susceptible. The categories are: AMS%, NHS%, CAS% or DDS% - Suspected carrier. % = level of suspicion

Animals free of the defect by pedigree and are untested are given the following categories: AMFU, NHFU, CAFU or DDFU – Free by pedigree, untested

What genetic statuses are acceptable to you will depend on the genetics of your cow herd

You need to take into consideration the bulls you have used previously, whether you have a straight breeding or cross-breeding enterprise and whether you will retain female progeny for breeding.

Te Mania are being proactive and transparent in managing these genetic conditions, endeavouring to provide the best information available. Now all sires used are clear of these defects. The greatest risk to the commercial sector from these undesirable genetic conditions comes from unregistered bulls with unknown genetic background.

ANGUSPURE PARTNER STUD

AngusPure NZ has teamed up with 91 Angus studs who share in our visionto focus on the end consumer. This stud is proud to be named as one of them, and by using the finest genetics and implementing best management practice they can help you produce more premium quality Angus beef.

Only our AngusPure Partner studs display these devices in their sale catalogues. They indicate bulls endorsed by AngusPure NZ.

ANGUSPURE ENDORSED BULLS

AngusPure NZ continues to endorse bulls for sale that are either at or above +$125 for the AngusPure index (API) and at or above $115 for the AngusPRO index (PRO). These indexes give commercial farmers confidence that by using these selection tools, bulls are most likely to leave progeny with superior carcase quality. At the same time they achieve desirable outcomes for self replacing herds, as the AngusPure & AngusPRO indexes still reward cattle with strong maternal attributes like calving ease, scrotal and growth, along with carcase weight.

To qualify, bulls will be => +$125 for AngusPure index OR => +$115 for AngusPRO index

EXTRA ANGUSPURE ENDORSEMENT FOR MARBLING

In addition to the ‘A’, and to assist bull buyers who wish to select for more marbling AngusPure are rewarding those animals that are either at or above +$145 for the AngusPure index and at or above $135 for the AngusPRO index. In addition to this they must have an IMF EBV (for marbling) equal to or greater than +2.2. These bulls will be awarded an ‘A+’ endorsement. Marbling is one of the very highest eating quality attributes and is necessary in order to meet some of the highest premium requirements for the export program, AngusPure Special Reserve.

To qualify, bulls will be => +$145 for AngusPure index OR => +$135 for AngusPRO index, and in addition all bulls must be => +2.2 for IMF EBV

AngusPure NZ recognises the need to lift the amount of marbling in our New Zealand cow genetics, in order to fill the requirements of consumers going forward. Marbling has two critical components; genetics and feeding. Feeding on a rising plane of nutrition is vital but without the genetics these attributes will not be able to express themselves.

FMG Premier Bull Sale Insurance

What is FMG Premier Bull Insurance?

FMG provides automatic insurance for all bulls auctioned at an FMG Premier Bull Sale up to the value of $50,000 for 14 days at no cost to the purchaser. For any bull purchased over $50,000 talk to an FMG representative.

What is the length of cover?

You will automatically be insured for the specified bull for 14 days. You also have the option to extend the length of insurance to 12 months. Simply tick the “Extend your Premier Bull Insurance” option on the Purchaser Slip. The specified bull is then insured for the remaining period of 12 months at 7.6% of the purchase price (the sum insured for the bull). If you would like to discuss an alternative timeframe, please have a chat with your local FMG representative.

You don’t have to pay today, FMG will invoice you for this additional cover.

What are the benefits?

Infertility

Theft or death

Vet costs

What will FMG pay?

Cover if your specified bull has to be euthanised due to permanent infertility caused by certain accidents, disease, injury, or illness.

We cover your specified bull for theft or death caused by certain accidents, disease, injury, or illness (including while in transit anywhere in New Zealand).

We cover up to $500 for treatment of your specified bull to prevent death.

FMG will pay the fair market value of your specified bull, less any amount you receive for the sale of the carcass, up to the amount shown on the insurance certificate.
