Exclusive Sires

GENETICS GUIDE

s g n i t e e r G

Welcome to the 2018 BEEF-360 Exclusive Sires Genetics Guide. We are extremely excited for you to study the line-up of bulls we have to offer. We have traveled the country to find sires which represent the Mission of BEEF-360 - with a focus on structural soundness, maternal efficiency and the “BALANCE” of traits required to create value for all segments of the beef industry. Some may say BALANCE is boring. We say BALANCE is vital to total profitability. Some say MORE, MORE, MORE.. but, how much MORE do we really need? We have to respect our environments. Most environments in which beef cattle range won’t handle an endless amount of “MORE”! In these pages, you will find “BALANCED” beef bulls that offer superior foot quality coupled with proven calving ease, exceptional growth, and maternal performance. You will find much needed outcross pedigrees to create the genetic diversity we need to maintain. You will find bulls backed by proven, Pathfinder® cow families. And, you will find prepotent bulls that are siring progeny with Quality and Predictability. In genetic selection, you have many choices. Trust in the proven “BALANCED” approach offered within these pages of BEEF-360 Exclusive Sires - backed by great cattlemen and great programs that plan on being in the Beef Business for years to come...just like you.

Keenan Jerry THE BEEF-360 MISSION...to increase the profitability of beef cattle operations through genetics and marketing strategies, management services, and other supporting technologies proven to create value.

Proper Nutrition Critical for Successful Reproduction

The primary goal for cow/calf producers is to obtain a live calf from each cow, every year. Unfortunately most beef cattle operations fail to achieve an annual 100% calving rate. Cows are required to conceive within 83 days after calving to achieve a calving interval of 365 days or less. Many cows may not have even resumed their estrous cycles by this point. Several factors can contribute to delaying the onset of estrous cycles. However, nutrition and nursing are the two critical factors. Since most cows are going to nurse a calf, nutrition becomes the major component that can be managed to enhance reproduction.

Similarly, age and weight are the primary factors that determine when a heifer reaches puberty. Although new data indicates that prior management and genetics may adjust this, a general rule has been that heifers need to reach approximately 65% of their mature weight by the beginning of the breeding season. This requires well-managed nutrition programs to ensure weight targets are met. There are several complex relationships in the nutrition/reproduction interaction. Energy, protein, minerals and vitamins all play a role. The organs and glands responsible for hormone secretions necessary for reproduction can be affected by nutritional deficiencies. BODY WEIGHT AND CONDITION: Body condition scoring (BCS) is a reliable method to assess the nutritional status of your cowherd. On the standard 1 to 9 scale, each unit change is associated with approximately 90 pounds of body weight. Live weight at calving itself has no effect on reproductive performance, whereas calving condition score can be a good indicator of how long it will take a cow to return to estrous. When cows are thin at calving or have a BCS of 4 or less, additional energy will likely be required for a reasonable return to estrous. Research has shown that as BCS at calving increases the percent of cows cycling at the onset of the breeding season tends to increase. PREPARTUM NUTRITION: The general belief is that cows maintained on an increasing plane of nutrition prior to calving usually have a shorter return to estrous as compared to 30

2018 BEEF-360 Genetics Guide

cows which lose BCS pre-calving. Energy restriction prior to calving results in thin cows at calving, prolonged return to cycling and decreased and delayed pregnancies during the breeding season. While increased nutrient intake after calving may partially overcome some of these effects, it does not completely eliminate the impact of negative nutrition prior to calving. It is clear that poor conception rates during a breeding season may have more to do with nutrition than an A.I. technician, bull, or synchronization program. ENERGY BALANCE:

Insufficient intake of energy, protein, vitamins and micro- and macro-minerals have all been associated with suboptimal reproductive performance. Of these, energy balance may have the biggest impact. When considering cows' metabolic priorities, reproduction comes after most other needs such as meeting minimum energy reserves and milk prodution. MANAGEMENT: Shortly after weaning, beef cows should be in mid-gestation. This is when producers can most easily manipulate diets to either increase or decrease a cow's condition since they require very little to maintain metabolism. If cows are in poor condition there is no better time to adjust feed to increase BCS. 60-90 days before calving, the fetus is growing rapidly and the cow is preparing for lactation. Trying to adjust BCS at this stage requires more feed and often occurs during the worst time in terms of weather and feed quality. The period of greatest nutritional need is from calving to rebreeding. She is required to produce milk, regain weight lost at calving and repair her reproductive tract in order to become pregnant again. At this stage, the cow is consuming as much as she can just to support herself and it is nearly impossible to adjust BCS. The nutrition/reproduction interaction is complex, but is still the most responsible for conception and pregnancy maintenance. Without a full appreciation for the delicate balance between nutrition and reproduction, we may fail to achieve optimal production from our cows.

Heifer Development Considerations

Replacement females, whether raised or purchased, are essential to the advancement of every cow-calf operation. They keep the production process going, taking the place of open and less productive cows, and can provide the opportunity for genetic gains. In many operations, however, it may be challenging or impractical to develop replacements at home. Facilities, feed resources and overall management often limit the opportunity to develop and breed heifers in the most efficient manner. There may be other advantages as well to raising or sourcing your replacement females off the farm. These can include: Room for more producing cows – if you don’t have to allocate feed resources, space and time to developing heifers at home, you may have room for some additional cows. Less herd bull needs – by having your heifers bred off of the farm, it may decrease your herd bull requirements, or limit your need to own specifically calving-ease sires. Cash flow – depending on your situation and needs, there could be advantages to selling your heifer calves and buying back breds the following season (these could even be from your own herd).

Beef-360, LLC offers Heifer Development and Marketing Services, managing the process of growing and breeding heifers optimally for value-added replacement females. We offer options that can fit virtually all needs, including:

CUSTOM HEIFER DEVELOPMENT – we manage your heifers to an optimal condition, ensuring the best possible conception rates, and return them to you confirmed bred. Heifers are fed high-fiber growing rations to achieve desired target weights without being over-conditioned. Pelvic measurements and reproductive tract scores are performed to identify and eliminate potential problems. All heifers are synchronized and fixed-time A.I. bred. You can make the decisions on sire selection or count on us to utilize bulls which will meet your needs. Following two rounds of A.I., heifers are ultrasounded and bred heifers are ready to return to your place. We can also help market opens, so you only have to take the bred ones home. CONTRACT HEIFERS – if you wish to sell your heifer calves and buy back bred heifers for your replacements, we can source and develop heifers to specifically meet your needs. These could even be the actual heifers that you may choose to sell as calves. INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES – we can source, manage, and market heifers on your behalf that represent the mission of BEEF-360.

Our goal is to help you develop value-added replacement females through optimum management, specific genetic selection and progressive marketing services. Contact us to discuss your individual needs and see what system(s) may work for you.

Keys to Successful Synchronization & A.I. With the predictability and ease of management of today's synchronization protocols, A.I. is the most practical and cost-effective way to create value in your cow herd. Implemented appropriately - it is possible to get 60% or more of your cows to conceive on the first day of your breeding season. By increasing the average age of your calf crop, this alone will often pay for all costs associated with synchronization and A.I. Then, consider the implications of genetic gain from proven superior sires and the possibility to decrease herd bull needs. Add in the value of extra pounds through added proven performance, more maternal predictability in retained daughters, predictable calving ease, carcass traits, etc. and the incremental value created is substantial. And, while A.I. in most cases does not eliminate the need for bulls, it may mean you need fewer to get your cows bred. This can raise the bar on the quality of bulls you can afford - increasing the genetic gains of every calf born. There are some considerations to ensure success with your synchronization plan, including:

protocols can induce estrus and ovulation in some non-cycling cows, those that calved within 30 days of the start of program are unlikely to respond. Using a synchronization protocol every year increases the proportion of cows calving in the first 30 days of the season, and subsequently increases A.I. pregnancy rates. COW AGE First calf heifers generally take 20 days longer to return to estrous than mature cows. BODY CONDITION Cows need to be in a positive energy balance to resume normal estrous cycles. Over a range of BCS from 4 to 5.5, data shows an increase of 18% cycling for each unit change in body condition at the beginning of the breeding season. This response likely levels out at BCS greater than 6.5. A target should be to have cows in a BCS of 5 or greater at breeding. CHARACTERISTICS OF SUCCESSFUL SYNCHRONIZATION PROGRAMS:

REPRODUCTIVE RESPONSE

• Good year-round nutrition program

Pregnancy rates after a 60 day breeding season should be 85 to 90% before considering an intensive synchronization and A.I. program. Lower fertility may indicate that some other aspect of management, such as nutrition or health, is less than optimal and would reduce the success of an A.I. program.

• Mature cows in a BCS of 5 at calving and first-calf heifers BCS-6 • Functional facilities for sorting, administering treatments and A.I.

CALVING DISTRIBUTION

• Effective vaccination and health program

The greater the proportion of cows calving in the first 21 days of the calving season, the better response expected from a synchronization and A.I. program. Although some synchronization
