VOLUME 53, NUMBER 3
MARCH 2017
HERD STAYABILITY Beckton is the #1 Herd in the breed for Stayability, and has been for many years. 42 of the top 50 sires in the breed for Stayability EPD are Beckton sires or descended from Beckton sires including 15 of the top 20. High reproduction rate and cattle that work for their owners, rather than the other way around. These are the cattle that stay in your herd. LOW MAINTENANCE ENERGY This has also been the #1 Herd for Low Maintenance Energy requirements for many years. 6 of the top 20 sires in the entire breed for lowest Maintenance Energy EPD are Beckton sires. No other cattle will do a better job cutting you cowherd feed requirements and saving you money. EASY CALVING The #1 Herd for easy calving, with the best average Calving Ease EPD of any major herd. 10 of the top 20 sires in the breed for low Birth Weight EPD are Beckton sires. No other genetics come close. GROWTH from Birth to Market Beckton bulls are leaders in total rate of growth, from birth to market weight. The average birth weight EPD of our sale bulls last year was minus -4.0, and the average yearling weight EPD is plus +80. Beckton cattle start with low birth weight and reach a high market (yearling) weight quickly – for quicker marketability and less cost to market.
The new HERD-BUILDER Index recently developed and implemented by the Red Angus Association combines economically relevant EPD’s (maternal, growth and carcass traits as well as fertility), and weights each EPD for its contribution to overall herd profitability. Designed for commercial producers retaining replacement heifers, this single index measure compares and ranks all Red Angus sires in the breed, to provide a single measure of expected profitability for every sire compared to all other Red Angus sires. 41 of the 50 highest ranking sires on the Red Angus Herd Builder Index are Beckton sires or descended from Beckton sires, including 16 of the top 20. In our annual bull sale on Tuesday, April 11, most of the 250 bulls and 50 heifers selling will rank in the top 10% of Red Angus breed. Many of the bulls in the sale will be in the top 1 or 2% of the breed, with an expected profitability gain over $15,000. Even the average bull in our sale will have an expected profitability gain of more than $10,000 compared to the average non-Beckton Red Angus bull. For more information about the Herd Builder Index, please contact either us or the Red Angus Association.

Positive Attitude Empowers Success These last several months, we have been watching our divided nation bicker over politics and it can be quite distressing and disheartening. Whether you voted Republican or Democrat shouldn’t matter. We are all Americans and should all want America and its leadership to be successful. What does this have to do with Red Angus you might ask? Sometimes I see similarities between our nation and our association. No question, we have all had a lot to overcome with the Red Angus database and software system which has been much less than stellar to this point (though real improvement is being made). Some might argue that the Board has stumbled in other areas as well. The bottom line is that we are all Red Angus breeders. We all love our cattle.

We all want the Red Angus breed to thrive. For that matter, we all want the entire beef industry to succeed. Looking at where we are as a breed, it is quite apparent that we are thriving! Let’s look at the facts: • The Red Angus Association is approaching a 100,000-active-cow inventory – this is a major landmark! This places us as the fourth largest breed in the U.S. and we are closing in on third place. • As of early January, the Association was up significantly in all areas of membership showing that more and more people are wanting to buy and raise Red Angus. • All categories of registration including 1A, 1B, 2 and 3, are also up significantly. We have also seen a large increase in the number of transfers in the past year.

Board Commentary • The backlog of work in the office has decreased dramatically. As of February 1, the turnaround time is about 15 days. The goal is to return work in 7 to 10 days, as we did historically. There is still improvement needed and the RAAA staff remains “on task” with the assistance of several outside programmers.

10 American Red Angus Magazine n March 2017
• While we have accomplished a lot in the last year, there is still much work to be done! Just as is the case with our nation, we need to band together for the betterment of the entire breed and embrace the positive stories that we can tell rather than dwell on any negatives. We will all benefit from a positive approach, both as a group of breeders, and individually. Just before I sat down to write this, I came across an article in our local paper about worry and how your attitude can make all the difference. The author referenced an old story called “The Man with the Jack.” And it goes like this: A man had a flat tire while driving down a country road. To his dismay, he discovered he had no jack in his car. The only thing he could do was walk to the nearest farmhouse and ask for help. As he walked, he imagined all the things the farmer would say to him: turning him away crossly, laughing at him for his carelessness. The conversation in his mind got worse and worse. Finally, when the farmer answered the door, the man yelled, “You can just keep your miserable jack!” Worry is biting off pieces of the future, imagining the worst, getting worked up over something which may or may not happen. Suppose, for example, the man had said, “I pray that the farmer will be able and willing to help me. But if he’s not, I will trust God to show me what to do next.” He still had a problem. He still didn’t know how it would be solved. But what a difference in his attitude and his peace of mind! As for me, I am choosing to look forward to 2017 with a positive attitude and all the great things coming our way as a nation and a breed association. May my course hold true! n

Red Angus – An Industry Leader in Marketing Programs
The Red Angus Association of America has a long history of innovation. Two of the most successful “firsts” directly attributable to RAAA are Total Herd Reporting and a Commercial Marketing Program with fulltime staff. Both programs have bettered the test of time (over two decades and counting), and are still very important today.
mercial participants call to sign up and proudly tag their Red Angus-sired calves. Chessie reports that 29,025 tags were sold in January this year compared to 19,125 during the same months last year. We will be publishing more metrics and more information on this industry-leading program in the next several months. For now, let me say thanks to Chessie and the rest of our commercial marketing staff for keeping this 23-year-old program on the cutting edge, and helping it gain more market presence and influence with each passing year.
Marketing is our focus for this ARA issue. From a marketing standpoint, it would be difficult to identify a major beef breed association that does more for its members’ cusTop Dollar Angus tomers than Red Angus. Next in the marketing arena is Top Dollar Angus® which has now been part of the Marketing Team RAAA quiver for 15 months. Top Dollar First, we have three highly dedicated emAngus grew almost 350 percent in 2016, and ployees that work tirelessly in the field to is off to a strong start in 2017 as well.

It’s no surprise innovative services that impact producers, that the number of new Red Angus bull and feeders and packers in a positive manner. female buyers is setting records.

BIEBER HARD DRIVE Y120
LOT 13
1436718
Hard Drive Y120 has seen very heavy use the past two years in our program. The replacement heifers we bred this past spring had a large representation of daughters sired by Hard Drive. Visitors to our ranch that look at the heifers this spring and summer have all noticed Hard Drive daughters. Comments have been outstanding and we are looking forward to calving the first very large group. The daughters we have calved to this point are spot on with great udders, adequate milk, and calve easily or come of grass in great shape. Hard Drive is no longer producing freezable semen so we have been sampling sons to take his place and move our program forward. We would be amiss if we didn’t mention that the disposition on these Hard Drive progeny is excellent. Hard Drive data is hard to match. Semen is rare at this point. If you locate any you need to put it in your tank.

Spartacus was a crowd favorite in our 2014 spring production sale selling to Accelerated Genetics and Jefferies Land and Cattle. He is a great disposition bull stacked for profit, powerfully made, and very stout boned. Spartacus was heavily used in our program in 2015 and we have weaned over 180 calves. We just had a handful of progeny last spring and his son Bieber Gladiator B386 sold to VF Red Angus, OR for $65K. We predicted that Spartacus was going to get on everyone’s radar this spring as his data is outstanding. Spartacus is a very complete bull that leaves a breeding program in a very good position going forward.

LOT 6
Rollin Deep Y118 is a powerful sire that does the cowman things right. His pedigree is well known for producing power cattle with exceptional feet, udders, and fleshing ability. Rollin Deeps dam, Bieber Tilly 399W has become a centerpiece in our ET program. His sire, Bieber Roosevelt has become a cornerstone to our commercial customers producing thick cattle with great dispositions. Rollin Deep Y118 is the kind of bull that can leave a positive impact on the breed for years to come. We weaned a little over 120 progeny this past fall, and have over 50 daughters in the herd. Rollin Deep is a sire that produces great phenotype, power and makes balanced cattle with the ability to flesh, breed back, stay sound and productive for the long haul. We have always believed that through focused selection you can breed cattle that have it all. Every year we feel we are getting a bit closer. Rollin Deep has been widely used with many Breeders reporting outstanding progeny with great success

We really like the sons and have found the daughters getting better and better. Epic is a highly-proven sire with breed leading growth, and progeny that exhibit excellent volume and muscle.

Marketing Update by Chessie Mitchell, RAAA Tag Program Coordinator
Feeder Calf Certification Program’s Growth Reflects Marketing Success
As you gear up to select your next herd sire, you may also start thinking about how you are going to market his calves in the months to come. More breeders and commercial cattlemen are utilizing the FCCP tag than ever before to garner Red Angus premiums. This past January, the program experienced a 27 percent growth increase compared to January of 2016. With a steady 20 percent enrollment increase for each fiscal year, the Red Angus tag is topping the charts in added-value marketing for three consecutive years. FCCP and AA Producing calves that reap premiums in the marketplace starts by using these value-added tag programs. The first tag option is for cattlemen and women using registered Red Angus bulls. The Feeder Calf Certification Program enrolls calves in the industry’s first genetic, source and age USDA process-verified program. The program is unlike any other age and source verification program. The “yellow” tag allows for the industry’s only marketing claim to at least 50 percent registered Red Angus bloodlines. Red Angus producers enrolling in the program will be able to have access to many Angus product lines. The second tag option is for producers in a planned crossbreeding program. The Allied Access program delivers age and source verification through the USDA process-verified program. The program provides a solution to Red Angus customers’ crossbreeding programs utilizing multiple breeds, hybrids or composites. The Allied Access “green” tag incorporates age and source verifications without the genetic boundaries of the FCCP. The Red Angus tag programs have no enrollment fees. The panel tag is only 99¢ and the combo set (panel & EID) is available for $3. Unique imprints are available for customers as well. Working with our tag supplier, an improved tag applicator has been developed for use with the FCCP tags. For each order placed, a new applicator is included in the shipment at no cost to the buyer. 18 American Red Angus Magazine n March 2017
How do I enroll?
1. Contact the Red Angus Association of America at 940-387-3502 Ext. 2 to go through a short rancherfriendly supplier enrollment questionnaire over the phone. RAAA staff will ask general management, animal identification and breeding program questions to verify program eligibility. 2. Once approved, tags are shipped directly to the customer and should be applied prior to the calves leaving the ranch of origin. 3. The producer will receive a customer enrollment agreement to complete and return with a copy of the first page of the calving record. This will allow RAAA to verify the group age on the calves and the tag numbers used. 4. Upon submission of the customer enrollment agreement and calving record, a USDA-approved certificate of compliance will be issued from the RAAA National Office. Marketing Assistance Red Angus marketing programs offer feeder cattle marketing tools at no charge to those using Red Angus genetics. Red Angus FeederFax is a proven marketing tool used to draw attention to load-lot-sized offerings of Red Angus-influenced cattle, or large offerings at scheduled sales, marketed via video sales, livestock markets or private treaty. The FeederFax breaks includes load details and is distributed to our active buyer base to draw added attention to our bull customers' calves. To submit a listing please visit www.RedAngus.org /marketing/feeder-fax or contact 940-387-3502 Ext. 2. Another effective marketing tool used by many cattlemen marketing smaller or individual lots of cattle is the Red Angus Stockyard. This is an online listing of cattle for sale in the breed. You can visit www.stockyard.redangus.org to submit or view listings of Red Angus bulls, registered females and commercial females for sale in the country. FCCP Sweepstakes From January 1 to June 30, 2017, FCCP-enrolled cattle producers will be entered to win a $1,000 cash prize with each bag of 25 FCCP tags they purchase. It’s a win-win scenario! A special drawing for Red Angus genetics providers will feature a .22 Henry Golden Boy trophy rifle. When tag purchasers call to enroll and they identify where they purchase their bulls, that seedstock provider will be entered to win the commemorative FCCP trophy rifle. n

BIEBER FEDERALIST B543
1694338
Bieber Deep End B597 combines the growth and carcass merit of his popular sire, with the maternal potency of his highly productive dam. This maternal brother to Hard Drive is an ideal ‘next step’ sire for programs looking to add performance and end product quality, without sacrificing maternal strength and phenotypic merit. Genex had brisk sales on Deep End’s semen last spring and our program used him extensively as well. Deep End brings together two top sire lines, not to mention, two of what are some of the very top cowlines at Bieber Red Angus Ranch.

No other sire in the history of Bieber Red Angus has had the impact that Roosevelt has had. Roosevelt has been an exceptional sire and has produced some of our finest progeny in recent years. Cattlemen appreciate the power and type in Roosevelt’s progeny. He has truly impacted our herd as much as any sire in recent history. Both his sons and daughters are extremely good fleshing with added depth and exceptional disposition. Roosevelt has produced many sons that have gone on and left an impact in both registered and commercial herds. He is a very well balanced bull and is always among the favorite sires when people come to the ranch to view the cattle.

Red Navigator Benefits Cow-Calf Businesses by Katie Ochsner, RAAA Commercial Marketing Specialist
The popularity of DNA testing in commercial herds is growing steadily, and rightfully so given the amount of insight that these tests can provide. The ability to differentiate genetically superior females is no longer a tool reserved for seedstock producers. Red Navigator provides vital genetic information on tested Red Angus-influenced commercial females, allowing commercial producers to make more informed decisions regarding replacement heifer selection and mating. Red Navigator is a breed-specific DNA test, and should only be used on commercial females that are at least 75 percent Red Angus. For each tested female, genetic information is provided in the form of individual percentile rank as compared to the commercial database for all 13 EPDs, as well as the HerdBuilder and GridMaster indices. Another benefit of Red Navigator that is often overlooked is the parent verification component. A DNA test providing only parent verification costs $15, so if you look at Red Navigator as parent verification plus the percentile ranks, you are getting an abundance of additional information for a very affordable price! As replacement heifer selection decisions are made, the goal is to make genetic progress in the herd. The selected females will remain in the herd for multiple generations, and making an incorrect keep/cull decision will not only affect next year’s calf crop, but will also transmit poor genetics into future generations. The cost of a commercial DNA test is miniscule compared to the cost of replacement heifer development and the cost of retaining poor genetics in your cowherd. Research conducted using Professional Cattle Consultants’ data showed a total advantage of $139.66 per head for feeder cattle ranking in the top 25 percent versus those in the bottom 25 percent for total cost of gain. Imagine the value that could be captured by having the ability to differentiate the top 25 percent of your replacement heifer candidates from the bottom 25 percent. Not only do these decisions affect the value of a single animal, but also many generations of feeder cattle and replacements to come from the heifers you choose to keep now. 26 American Red Angus Magazine n March 2017
There’s no question that Red Navigator can assist with replacement heifer selection, but the results aren’t done working for you after this phase. Knowing the genetic profile of your females can help tremendously when making mating decisions, allowing you to match them with a complementary sire. For example, if the Red Navigator results of your favorite heifer reveal that she is superior in a majority of traits but is poorer in marbling, you can mate her to a bull that excels in this area. The Red Angus Association of America staff is working hard to ensure that the producers who use the test are reaping the full benefit of their investment. There are now enough animals in the testing population that Red Navigator-tested females are only compared against other commercial females rather than the entire DNAtested population, which would include registered animals. This will give producers a clearer idea of how their herd is performing relative to other commercial herds. Another recent development with the Red Navigator test is our added push in the customer service arena. After producers receive the results of their Red Navigator order, they will now be provided with a follow-up call from the RAAA Commercial Marketing team to aid in the interpretation of the results and answer any other questions. Normally, the cost of a Red Navigator test is $25. However, RAAA is currently running a special promotion for these tests, which are available for only $19 now through April 30, 2017. Red Navigator tests may be ordered by submitting the DNA order form found at redangus.org. Blood cards will be provided free of charge. Order your tests today and start reaping the benefits!

JRA Update
Red Angus Juniors Take on Reproduction by Genna VanWye, JRA First Vice President
The 2017 Junior Red Angus Young Stockman’s Program took place January 5 and 6. The conference began Thursday evening in Denver at the Double Tree Hotel. Here, juniors participated in several teambuilding activities, played a Red Angus matching game, and built bovine reproductive tracts out of candy. The entire conference held a reproduction emphasis, with Thursday night’s activities leading in to what would be discussed Friday. Friday morning, Juniors headed out to Huwa Cattle Co. in Roggens, Colorado.
Harold Miller, a well-respected AIschool instructor, spoke to juniors about semen quality and morphology, as well as reproductive health through nutrition and safe transportation of bred cattle. Juniors experienced hands-on skills on cow reproductive tracts. They practiced breeding with AI guns and learned the function of each part of the repro tract with help from Harold. Cheryl Miller spoke to YSP participants about the proper handling of semen. She has handled thousands of units,

working with Harold in their custom breeding service. She spoke about the importance of keeping semen in liquid nitrogen tanks with little exposure to air when removing straws from the tank. Cheryl described the proper way to thaw semen and load an AI gun, mentioning the importance of temperature shock.
During the Young Stockman Program in Colorado, young Red Angus enthusiasts from around the country experienced hands-on skills in artificial insemination, semen handling and embryo transfer. They also learned about collecting samples for DNA testing.

JRA Update He spoke about and displayed the tools he uses to synchronize, flush and implant embryos. The YSP group looked at embryos under a microscope and learned about the differences between grade A and grade B embryos. Rea explained the process of flushing females, along with exhibiting some of the tools and hormones used in this process. At Genetics West, juniors also met Penny, the donor cow for the “Live WiRED Tracking Red Angus EPDs in Action” project. To round out the evening, Halla Pfeiff, RAAA DNA/breed improvement projects coordinator, presented the four methods of collecting DNA samples – hair, blood, tissue and semen. She stressed the importance of taking a good sample and discussed practical application of DNA technology and the room for immense growth in the future. Pfeiff described multiple genetic tests that are available to producers to assist their program in genetic advancements. Participants enjoyed fun bus activities and the opportunity to make new friends. Juniors had a great time and concluded the conference with more knowledge about reproduction and DNA technology. A big thanks to all of our hosts and sponsors for a successful conference. We could not have done this without you. n

Member Services Update by Halla Pfeiff, RAAA DNA/Breed Improvement Projects Coordinator
Hopefully for most, the busy season has started to slow down a bit. This month’s update has several helpful tips and information to support upcoming data submissions. Also, it might serve as a refresher course of rules, regulations and deadlines that have been in place for years. Take a peek!
Email Addresses for Data-Processing Requests When submitting information to the office, please utilize the following email addresses for efficient handling of your request. Registrations: web.rrts@redangus.org Transfers: web.transfer@redangus.org Herd Inventory Reports: web.herdinv@redangus.org Heifer Exposure Reports: web.hfrexp@redangus.org NCE The NCE (National Cattle Evaluation) is the biannual process through which RAAA calculates EPDs for animals in the RAAA database. To ensure inclusion in the NCE, please provide all data possible. For Spring calves, if weaning data is not yet available at submission time, it will be included in the next NCE run. The EPDs that result from this process are released in January (Spring EPDs) and July/August (Fall EPDs) each year. Summer NCE Deadline Performance data must be received in the National Office by May 9, 2017, (paper submissions) or May 16, 2017, (electronic submissions) to be included in the Summer National Cattle Evaluation. Helpful New Enhancements to the Herd Management Tab Enhancements have been made to help with reporting data. These would include reports that have been available in the past on a pre-printed sheet. These sheets can now be generated by each producer and printed in your office. These pre-generated sheets include Herd Inventories, Weaning Worksheets, No Progeny Report, Heifer Exposure and Inactivation Report You may also print certificates from your own computer in black and white. 40 American Red Angus Magazine â– March 2017
How to access these reports: 1. Login to REDSPro 2. Access Herd Management tab 3. Form Downloads 4. THR Reports or Animals - Either type in registration number or select year and season.
Member Services Update
Genetic Details Information Relocated The genetic details link has been removed from the animals’ information page and has now been added directly to the animal search page. This information is located under the EPDs and above the pedigree.
Submit Ultrasound Data Ultrasound data is an excellent way to increase the accuracies of an animal’s carcass EPDs. Traits that are measured by an Annual Proficiency and Testing Certification (APTC) technician are rump fat, ribeye area, fat thickness and marbling. These traits are measured on the member’s operation. After the data is collected, it is sent to the lab for analysis.
42 American Red Angus Magazine ■ March 2017
An electronic report is then sent to the RAAA for data processing. Once the processing is complete, the animal’s EPDs’ accuracies are updated by this information. The stakeholder can view results online under REDSPro. To review technician and lab contact information, and collection guidelines please visit redangus.org/registration/ultrasound.
Member Services Update
No Progeny Report Reminder postcards will be sent out in mid-March. To fulfill THR requirements and avoid possible female reactivation fees, please report a calf record with weaning data or reason code for the cow on Spring 2015 and 2016 cows on inventory. Members can report data via REDSPro, request an Excel spreadsheet or hard-copy report by contacting the National Office. To avoid inactivation, report data to RAAA by April 14. Freshen up on DNA Requirements Purchase and use of bulls; donor flushing and placement of embryos Many members are still overlooking – or misunderstanding – the DNA requirements for offspring to meet full registration status. Until an animal has meet all requirements, a registration certificate cannot be printed, a transfer cannot take place or the registration of future offspring cannot occur. The main reason these rules are overlooked is because it is required on the parents, and not the calf itself. This would be a different case however if the resulting calf’s parent(s) is a carrier of a genetic defect. The following rules have been taken directly from the Red Angus Breeder’s Guide and are regarding all DNA requirements to meet the above-mentioned needs.
44 American Red Angus Magazine ■ March 2017
Rules Pertaining to Parentage Requirements – Section I Page RR-36 This would affect any animal on registration status Z. a. All bulls to be used from which the resultant calves are to be registered in the Red Angus database. i. All bulls that are the source of semen for AI, parent verification is required to the extent that the parent(s) SNP parentage genotypes are on file at an approved testing facility. A copy of the DNA record on such bull must be on file with the Association as a requirement of progeny registration. DNA typing of the bulls to be used as AI sires will be at the submitting party’s expense. ii. Beginning with the 2017 calf crop, all bulls that are the source of natural mating (pasture breeding), parent verification is required to the extent that the parent(s) SNP parentage genotypes are on file at an approved testing facility. A copy of the DNA record on such bull must be on file with the Association as a requirement of progeny registration. DNA typing of the bulls to be used as AI sires will be at the submitting party’s expense. (Rev. 6-15, beginning with calves born on or after January 1, 2017) b. All ET parents to be used from which the resultant calves are to be registered in the Red Angus database. All donor dams being used for ET purposes must be DNA typed, except for donor dams that were flushed between June 1993 and June 1995 and are now dead.

Rules Pertaining to Genetic Defect Requirements Section C Page RR-17 This would affect any animal on registration status U. The rule listed below is specific to OS, however the regulation is the same for all genetic defects that are monitored by RAAA. i. It is the responsibility of all RAAA members to be aware that animals containing an OS-tested-carrier animal in their pedigree without an intervening OS-tested-free animal have the potential to be an OS carrier animal. Beginning July 1, 2009: Animals applying for registration whose pedigree contains an OS-tested-carrier within the first two generations (parents or grandparents) without an intervening OS-tested-free animal must be tested by an RAAA-approved facility to determine if the animal is a carrier or free of OS. Registration of such animals will be placed on hold until approved test results are received by RAAA. Beginning January 1, 2014: AI sires (sires with progeny applying for registration using RAAA mating code 1) and embryo parents (dams/sires with progeny applying for registration using RAAA mating code 3) whose pedigree contains an OS carrier without an intervening OS-tested-free animal must be tested by an RAAA-approved facility to determine if the animal is a carrier or free of OS. In the event that DNA is unavailable on an AI sire/embryo parent, then progeny will be required to be tested for OS as a requirement for registration. ii. Animals confirmed to be carriers of OS are eligible for registration. DNA Reminders about Submitting Samples When submitting DNA samples make sure the following bullet points are completed before samples are sent off the office. • Each animal that has a sample is listed on the order from (this includes possible sires and dams) • Test marked for each animal on order form • Contact information is correct • Paragraph at bottom of form is signed • Check for correct amount is sent or a note to call for payment is made on order form If any of the above information is missing this will delay sample submission to the lab. Turnaround time is 15 to 20 business days. This depends on the type of test the sample is being processed for. â–

RAAA Seeks Carcass and Feed Intake Data by Larry Keenan, Director of Breed Improvement
While Red Angus cattle have earned a solid reputation as being the commercial producer’s breed of choice when building a profitable cowherd, the true versatility of Red Angus is shown when the steer mates excel in the feed yard and garner substantial premiums when sold on the grid. The Red Angus Association of America has a storied history of leading the industry in the collection of data points necessary for the further refinement of maternal strengths. While the RAAA has always encouraged the submission of carcass data, it is now implementing a very aggressive, multi-point plan to increase the quantity and quality of feedlot performance and carcass data. Carcass Data Reimbursement Program Facilitating the collection of individual animal-detailed carcass data in which the sire is known and in the Red Angus database has become a challenging task. However, the importance of such data is imperative for the reliable calculation of carcass EPDs. Recognizing this need, RAAA will compensate producers $10 per head for carcass data that meet the following requirements: • Sire known and in the RAAA database • Detailed Carcass Data: Hot Carcass Weight, Marbling Score, Ribeye Area, Back Fat • At least two sires represented in the contemporary group • At least five progeny per sire Carcass Progeny Test Recognizing the challenges of conducting a carcass progeny test in which young, low-accuracy bulls are tested against older, high-accuracy bulls, the RAAA provides such service through the Carcass Progeny Test (CPT). Producers who desire to ‘prove out’ the carcass genetics of a young sire through the CPT can do so by nominating their sire.
56 American Red Angus Magazine ■ March 2017
If the sire is selected, the nominating producer is obligated to pay a $1,500 nomination fee to RAAA and contribute 75 straws of semen.

RAAA Seeks Carcass and Feed Intake Data In return, the producer is guaranteed detailed carcass data on at least 12 progeny. In addition, RAAA and the test herd will make the best effort to collect individual animal feed intake data on 10 randomly selected steers per sire. Feed Intake – GGP-LD Exchange While Red Angus’ collection of individual animal feed intake records continues to grow, RAAA leadership desires to speed the rate of that growth. To incentivize producers to collect more feed intake records, a program has been developed and launched which provides for the exchange of a GeneSeek Genomic Profile Low-Density (GGP-LD) test, or equivalent thereof, for each individual animal feed intake record. To ensure data quality, requirements to qualify for the exchange are: • At least two sires represented in the contemporary group • At least five progeny per sire RAAA’s aggressive effort through these three programs will provide Red Angus stakeholders with a wealth of information to include in the calculation of existing carcass EPDs, as well as the potential to research new economically relevant traits. ■
58 American Red Angus Magazine ■ March 2017
Call for CPT Test Herds
Due to an increase in the number of sires nominated for the CPT program, RAAA is currently searching for new CPT test-herds. Ideal test herds consist of 300 or more females, history of successful AI, and retained ownership of calves through the feedlot. In addition to receiving free semen on some of the breed’s up-and-coming superstars, test herds are rewarded financial incentives for data collection and submission. Interested commercial operations should contact RAAA for more details. In addition, RAAA members who successfully solicit a qualifying CPT test herd will be rewarded with a free CPT nomination for a sire of their choice.

Red Angus Genetics Provide Success for Commercial Herds by Jennifer Carrico for American Red Angus Magazine
“We know the reds work because they continue to top the market.”
Lee Plendi
72 American Red Angus Magazine ■ March 2017
Red Angus genetics are the hottest thing going and have added value in the feedlot, according to Maurice, Iowa, cattleman Lee Plendl.
Plendl lives in Sioux County which is known as a cattle-feeding area due to the abundant crop ground and many feedlots in the area. What he started as a few Red Angus cows 35 years ago, has grown to a commercial herd of 425 cows. “Since we live in an area of crops and feedlots and our cow herd has grown to a larger number, we had to find another place to run cows,” Plendl said. “Our cows run in two different locations in South Dakota where they calve. Then calves are sent back here at weaning.” Since 2000, Plendl has purchased genetics from the same seedstock supplier and has built a good relationship with him. Plendl purchases front-end bulls with good genetic performance behind them to improve his cowherd. As a result, his calves have become a top item at the sales. “I don’t have room to develop heifers as replacements, so my seedstock supplier purchases my heifers and I buy replacements from a mutual friend of ours in South Dakota,” he said. Normally, Plendl purchases one or two potloads of heifers each year to become replacements in his herd. In 2016, lower agricultural commodity prices prevented him from making that purchase. “It’s been really good until the last couple years. As long as we have the staying power, it will come back around and the prices will be positive again,” he said. “In 2014, our calves were bringing $1,880 per head. We know the reds work because they continue to top the market.”
Cows relax in the winter sun on the feed grounds. They calve and summer in South Dakota and Plendl ships the calves back to Iowa to background. American Red Angus Magazine ■ March 2017 73
Red Angus Genetics Provide Success for Commercial Herds Steer calves from Plendl’s herd are weaned at the South Dakota location and brought to Iowa to be put on grass in early September, prior to harvest. Calves are backgrounded until January when they are sold at Tri-State Auction in Sioux Center, Iowa. Plendl’s calves are known to be good performing calves with good health. They usually top the market. “We usually receive $5 to $8 per hundredweight over market price for our calves at the sale in January and we have many repeat buyers,” he said. “Our calves have all the possible vaccinations and have the genetics behind them to perform well. We want to give our customers the biggest bang for their buck that we can.” Plendl then purchases Red Angus calves wearing the yellow Red Angus Feeder Calf Certification Program tag to background at his Sioux County location. Qualifications for the program include traceability to at least 50 percent Red Angus bloodlines, source verification to the ranch of origin and group age verification. This program is the beef industry’s most-experienced USDA process-verified genetic, source and age program.
74 American Red Angus Magazine ■ March 2017
The yellow FCCP tag ensures at least 50 percent Red Angus genetics and is a requirement to sell on Tyson’s Choice+ Grid.

Red Angus Genetics Provide Success for Commercial Herds The yellow FCCP tag is recognized as the symbol of guaranteed “Angus� genetics and is a trusted source for both feeders and packers filling “Angus� product lines. Many commercial cow-calf herds are utilizing the program by using registered Red Angus bulls. With the only fee being the 99-cent tag, cattle producers of all sizes can benefit from the program. The FCCP cattle Plendl feeds are then marketed through the Choice+ grid with Tyson Fresh Meats. Since he is familiar with the genetics he is feeding, Plendl said he can sell when the cattle will fit in the grid. This provides a predictable, quality product with traceability for Tyson and gives the producer a premium. To sell on Tyson’s grid, the cattle must be enrolled in FCCP. The grid rewards cattle based on a high percentage of Choice or higher quality grade as well as fitting the other criteria set. Plendl said feeding Red Angus cattle for this program makes sense. He is also a grain farmer, but said he was always taught to sell his grain on the cash market and purchase grain cheaper to feed to his cattle.

Red Angus Genetics Provide Success for Commercial Herds He does just that, making every dollar count, and buys grain 25 to 50 cents cheaper per bushel to feed to the cattle. The cattle he feeds with the Red Angus influence performed so well in 2016, that they actually went past the ideal weight by the time he sent them to the Tyson plant and, while they graded well, he missed the weight maximum to qualify in the grid. “You can’t say very often that the cattle you feed year after year continue to be better performers, but these Red Angus cattle are,” Plendl said. “When the temperatures are hot and humid, like they can be in Iowa, the red cattle don’t seem to get overheated like black cattle can. It definitely helps them perform better.” With the help of his son and grandson, Plendl said the future looks good for them to continue what he has started. “Good things are coming. As long as we have staying power to get through the harder times, we will continue to see success with Red Angus genetics,” Plendl added. ■
Three generations work together on the Plendl operation – Lee, son Corey, and grandson Eric, pictured with his grandfather.

A Road Map to Transportation Stewardship by Trinity Lewis for American Red Angus Magazine
Spring is here and that means many producers are carefully considering carcass traits while purchasing bulls and, at the same time, working hard at home to raise good calves that will vigorously grow into profitable beef animals.
Carcass-merit genetics play a crucial role in beef quality, but management practices can also heavily impact beef animals’ welfare and ultimately the quality of beef on the rail. While hauling livestock can’t be avoided, cattlemen can practice low-stress handling practices to ensure cattle thrive in the pasture and feed yard and, if it’s the animal’s last ride to the plant – top-quality beef. Stress Reduction In high-stress scenarios, cattle’s brains – much like human brains – release a chemical response to prepare muscles to react. The chemicals don’t disappear after the initial trigger but must be broken down over time by the animal. Therefore, limiting or reducing stress during transportation – especially to the packing plant – is critical. Randy Bear of Greeley, Colorado, has hauled live cattle for a variety of operations across the Midwest, and currently works for JBS Carriers in the livestock division dispatching trucks. According to Bear, the stress of transportation begins long before the cattle are loaded on the truck. “In my experience hauling live cattle to the packing plant, it helps if the feed
yard has practices in place for low-stress cattle handling. Otherwise, you’ll have trouble loading them into your trailer.” Cattle should be moved in streamline-type fashion. Handlers should be aware of the cattle’s pressure points knowing when and where to apply pressure to move the cattle. When cattle are piled into tight quarters, hitting walls and bouncing off panels, the threat of bruised meat sets in. At the packing plant, bruised meat is classified as a “dark cutter,” taking profit from the carcass. When cattle are moved in a calmer fashion at a slow pace, they are far less likely to develop bruises and will naturally have a calmer demeanor as well, ultimately reducing the level of stress chemicals released by their brain. Bruising isn’t the only threat to carcasses caused by transportation. Due to temperature changes, the stress of travel and the lack of exposure to feed and water all contribute to tissue loss in the animals. Cattle begin to shrink in a direct correspondence to the stress of the situation. Bear stated, “There’s going to be times that you can’t control circumstances and your animals will be on the trailer much longer than planned. A good transporter will find a place to unload the animals to get them water at least. You just have to be patient and not push it.” He went on to explain that when livestock are handled properly and shipped with their well-being in mind, they are more likely to do better in the pasture or feed yard as well as yield a higher quality beef product at the packing plant. Emergency Response Lisa Pederson, beef quality specialist with the Dickinson (North Dakota) Research Extension Center, realized firsthand the devastation of wrecks involving cattle when one took place in her region.

The first responders at the scene had been trained to manage a plethora of human and vehicle elements but were not prepared to handle a pot load of cattle that were part of the collision. Seeing a void, she worked with Beef Quality Assurance to develop a Bovine Emergency Response Program (BERP).

A Road Map to Transportation Stewardship Through the program, law enforcement officers, firefighters and other emergency personnel are coached through handling accidents where livestock are involved. The program has now spread to eight states and, according to Pederson, 85 to 90 percent of attendees report using the training within six to nine months of completing the course. Pederson explained that firm numbers on wrecks involving livestock do not exist but they do know that a majority of accidents happen at night.
the trailer or in the back of the rig being used to pull. 3. Ensure the trailer hitch is attached correctly and that safety chains are in place. “Make sure to triple check your back gate so that there is no chance of it opening,” said Pederson. 4. Check road conditions. Although weather mishaps are sometimes unavoidable, leaving when the weather is predicted to be mild is the safest. 5. Make sure animals are in good-enough health and condition to travel. They should have a Body Condition Score of at least 3 and be able to bear weight on all four legs.
“A major reason they occur is driver fatigue and most of the time the truck rolls to the right,” she said. “I’ve hypothesized the reasons and I think that drivers stay closer to the edge of the road to avoid the center line.”
Pederson encouraged producers to make sure their trailer isn’t overloaded. Making an extra trip is far more economical than an accident caused by excess weight.
Safety Prep Pederson also offers these practical steps for transportation safety:
Bear also offered advice on hauling, “The more steady you can drive the vehicle – not changing lanes, not stopping frequently – keeps things smoother. You have to care about the product that is on your trailer.”
1. Inspect trailers, floors and sidewalls, and confirm they are sound without any kinds of holes. Cleaning trailers often helps reduce the risk of erosion in the sides and floor. 2. Inspect the tires and know where the spare tire is. Having the spare tire up in the nose in front of the cattle is discouraged. Rather Pederson suggests carrying the spare outside of
Transportation of cattle can be taken for granted by livestock producers because it is such a regular practice. When the bottom line and welfare of the cattle are considered, however, taking care to make a concerted effort for safety and stressfree travel can benefit both the cattle and the producer whether headed to the pasture, the feed yard or the packer. ■

Genetic-Selection Research Aimed at Reducing BRD Incidents Genetic component could identify and reduce highly heritable, million-dollar disease by Trinity Lewis for American Red Angus Magazine
Snotty noses, down ears and coughing are some of the most discouraging signs a cattleman detects. Although reaching for the antibiotic bottle and syringe has become the standard treatment protocol, most producers dream of the day when their herd will be immune to Bovine Respiratory Disease – or BRD. With modern research, some experts suggest that the time is near when cattlemen can reduce active treatment procedures with selective genetic prevention through EPDs.
Research The USDA’s National Institute for Food and Agriculture (NIFA) is part of industry-changing research regarding the potential of developing an index that would predict cattle that carry BRD markers. According to the BRD Complex Coordinated Agriculture Project grant related to the research, NIFA stated, “Incorporating BRD into genetic evaluations and selection decisions offers a sustainable approach to reduce disease incidence. Selection for resistant animals will ultimately result in improved welfare, reduced antibiotic use and handling costs, superior production efficiency, and improved profitability.”
Million-Dollar Disease BRD, also known as shipping fever and sometimes referred to as pneumonia, is the leading cause of death in backgrounding operations and feedlots causing more loss than all other diseases combined. According to Enns, BRD causes over $1 million in loss to the cattle industry annually.
The industry’s potential for profit – as a result of an EPD indicating animals genetically prone to developing sickness – is thought by some to be invaluable. Others argue that such indices may cause producers to act in a hypochondriac manner and sacrifice good genetics in a result to dodge a disease that is very manageable if caught early enough. In response to this argument, Enns remarked, “Likely, yes – especially for the animals with a Dr. Mark Enns, Based on the research of the USDA-NIFA’s hyhigh susceptibility. However, just like other Colorado State University pothesis, Dr. Mark Enns, Colorado State Unitraits, when new EPDs are released, those versity, has been hands-on in the fight to reduce BRD and breeders with subpar performers fix that quickly.” educate the industry about solutions. Enns is optimistic that research including both dairy and beef cattle suggests that Heritability and Environment there is a genetic component to BRD susceptibility. “With the Enns and his colleagues at CSU conducted a two-year trial proper tools, the industry should be able to make progress in a commercial feedlot setting where, out of 3,000 calves, breeding animals that have a lower probability of getting Enns estimated an approximate 17 percent heritability when sick due to BRD,” Enns said. looking at calves treated for BRD. Seventeen percent is a much higher heritability estimate than that of milk producAccording to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, heritability is tion or heifer pregnancy, for example – both traits for which the proportion of observed variation in a particular trait that most breeds have developed EPDs.

A Road Map to Transportation Stewardship Although most operations have not yet implemented a system for BRD data collection, Enns said that’s the next step in building the foundation for the anticipated EPD. “Ultimately we would like to see more data coming from commercial feedlots. Using both genomic information and treatment information, it is possible to identify sires, especially in branded-product programs, associate that with the progeny of those sires and treatment information, and calculate an EPD. Genomic information will also help us identify younger animals with superior genetics for susceptibility to BRD.” In their 2016 edition of guidelines, the Beef Improvement Federation provided standards for BRD evaluation. The standards included animal IDs for the entire cattle cohort. The cohort information: In and out dates, sex, owner/origin, treatment information, treatment date, temperature, diagnosis, breed. They also stated that it is helpful to list the observation date, ear droop, nasal discharge, spontaneous cough, full gut, depressed attitude, respiration rate and thoracic ultrasound score. The standards went on to cater to those

keeping track of cattle on the rail and suggested that BRD incidence should be weighted approximately seven times more heavily in a terminal sire selection index than weaning weight, post-weaning average daily gain or feed intake, and that these traits should receive two to three times more emphasis than marbling score and yield grate. The task of data collection may prove to be challenging considering that environmental factors like stress from transportation, dusty and dirty conditions, as well as comingling with other infected animals can bring on BRD in beef animals. There is the risk of issues with diagnosis as well with some sick animals being overlooked and some unhealthy animals being misdiagnosed. Aside from bull selection, the findings may be used to separate or isolate likely candidates for BRD at the feedyard, drug and nutritional protocols, and implementation of low-stress and minimal handling. Although research for a BRD EPD has been in the works for several years, the foreground gained encourages Enns that there is an end in sight. “In my opinion it’s just a matter of time before there is such an EPD.” ■

BrainTrust Outfits Cattlemen to ‘Scale the Summit’ Science and technology tools boost ranch-gate profitability by Beth Gaines, RAAA communications coordinator
Cattlemen across the country gathered in Denver for BrainTrust during the National Western Stock Show in January. The educational event, titled “Scaling the Summit,” focused on technology and management to improve profitability in commercial and seedstock beef businesses. The program focused heavily on the use of DNA, a better understanding of science, and how DNA technology benefits beef producers in achieving improved genetic progress in less time. DNA Progress Dr. Matt Spangler, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, explained the function and development of EPDs. He shared the advancement of technology to create genomically enhanced EPDs and detailed the evolution of the test, ranging from just a few SNP markers in early years to more comprehensive testing options today. “The fact is that simply adding more markers doesn’t necessarily give us better results, although strategically choosing which markers to use can improve the endproduct,” Spangler said.
While some may question the benefit of investing in the technology, Spangler emphasized that it is an investment that readily pays dividends for both seedstock providers and the commercial cattlemen purchasing bulls with genomically enhanced EPDs. “This process essentially helps mitigate risk for commercial cattlemen who are buying young animals, giving buyers more confidence in an animal’s EPDs. This added knowledge should command more money for the animal in my estimation,” explained Spangler. “That genetic provider has done something that diminishes the risk of a wrong decision, and buyers should reward him or her for it.” He added that this technology is also a tool that seedstock producers can use to speed up the rate of genetic improvement and change.
BrainTrust attendees learned how to implement genomically enhanced EPDs to add profitability to their operations. Following their presentations, Spangler, Anderson and Gibb (left to right) answered questions from producers. 100 American Red Angus Magazine ■ March 2017
BrainTrust Outfits Cattlemen to ‘Scale the Summit’ “Genomics allows us to increase the accuracy of EPDs while having the confidence to use younger animals, reducing the generation interval thus speeding up the rate of progress.” Accuracy is important Spangler reminded cattlemen that there are several things to keep in perspective when using these tools. “Increased accuracy doesn’t mean your EPDs will necessarily improve. They will become more accurate, but it doesn’t mean that they are going to get better.” Dr. Kent Anderson of Zoetis echoed that message. “As more animals are genotyped, the technology does get better and better in terms of predictions,” he said. He further explained the role of accuracies as producers learn to use the information. “Accuracy is associated with possible change, which is a polite way of saying the chance for error as progeny performance comes along.” Spangler noted that the tool is powerful, but it must be robustly used. “This tool is going to allow cattlemen to make good decisions. It should be used throughout the herd and not just after the sale catalog is built for marketing a few select animals,” he cautioned. “Don’t cherry-pick. Genotype them all and move forward. As more animals are genotyped, the technology does get better and better.” Dr. Jim Gibb, Neogen/GeneSeek, explained the importance of accurate genomic tools that help ranchers select traits that will pay dividends. Stayability, for example, has economic value by boosting a cow’s profitability over her lifetime, as it lowers the pressure for additional replacements and reduces the cost of heifer development. “Profiling those heifers has real benefits, which allows producers to keep the truly superior, more-profitable replacement heifers,” said Gibb. “The added benefit is the opportunity to add value to their steer mates through programs like Top Dollar Angus.” Parent identification in multiple-sire pastures affords commercial producers the ability to benchmark the performance of each sire, therefore making more effective culling decisions. By eliminating the low-performing cattle or those who don’t meet important criteria, such as heifer pregnancy or stayability, they can increase the profit potential of their beef business. Health and Management in Focus Gary Fike, commercial marketing director, unveiled the results of the Veterinarian Health Study in which RAAA partnered with Kansas State University’s Dr. Dan Thomson and Dr. A.J. Tarpoff.
102 American Red Angus Magazine n March 2017
Gary Fike, left, and Dr. A.J. Tarpoff, presented results from the Veterinarian Health Survey. The study was sent to 1,100 veterinarians around the U. S., inquiring which protocols and management strategies they recommended to commercial cow-calf operators in terms of general care and preventative measures that impact a ranch’s overall profitability. Survey responses were received from 35 states and three Canadian provinces. Thirty-nine percent of the answers came from veterinarians with practices servicing over 10,000 head of beef cows annually, indicating that they have a firm grasp on the importance of herd health. In the survey, veterinarians were questioned about health protocols, the timing of those practices and the benefits to overall animal well-being by implementing comprehensive health programs. One of the strongest responses in the survey was the importance of practicing good vaccine hygiene by using modifiedlive-virus vaccines and handling them appropriately – storing them at the correct temperature before administering the shots, as well as using clean syringes, sharp needles, and keeping the vaccine cool and dark at chute side. When vaccinating at branding, the most common recommended vaccines were Clostridial (96 percent), IBR (94 percent), BRSV (91 percent), PI3 (90 percent), and BVD Type 1 & 2 (78 and 77 percent, respectively). Eighty-eight percent of veterinarians recommend modified-live vaccines and 12 percent prescribe killed vaccines. The survey also revealed the timing of immunization was equally as important as the types given. Of the responding veterinarians, 30 percent recommend the last preventative vaccine should be administered to cattle seven to 14 days prior to loading, shipping or marketing. RAAA staff will release additional details of the complete study in upcoming months. n

RAFI Holds Annual Meeting in Denver by Dr. Robert Hough, RAFI Director
The Red Angus Foundation, Inc. (RAFI) recently held its annual meeting in conjunction with the Association’s events at the National Western Stock Show in Denver. RAFI was first incorporated in the mid-1990s in an effort to support the Junior Red Angus program, but in 2010 was revitalized with an expanded mission supporting juniors, education and research to benefit all Red Angus stakeholders. It actively raises taxdeductible donations year-round for these worthy causes. Welcome Krause One of the top agenda items at the RAFI Board meeting was the hiring of a contract staff member to coordinate RAFI activities and spearhead fund-raising efforts. The RAFI Board is pleased to announce that Patsy Krause from Glasgow, Montana, joined the Red Angus family to serve in this position beginning February 1, 2017. Krause will be working on year-round fundraising efforts and help to further the mission of the Foundation. She is a Montana native with a ranch background and has over 25 years of fundraising experience. She can be reached by phone at (406) 599-2852 or email at patsyjkrause@gmail.com. “I was born and raised in northeast Montana on a commercial Red Angus ranch and am very excited to be coming on board with RAFI,” said Krause. “I am especially excited about getting to know people and raising money to support the RAFI mission.” Fundraising At the annual RAFI Board meeting, directors reviewed investments and available funds, which now total over $500,000. These include dedicated funds for JRA activities, the Sal Forbes Research and Development Fund, and an endowment for agricultural scholarships as well as a general fund to be used for targeted activities in keeping with the RAFI mission. Planning for a large fundraiser to be held in conjunction with the 2017 National Red Angus Convention in Col108 American Red Angus Magazine ■ March 2017
orado Springs has begun, which will center on the auctioning of an outstanding Red Angus female. Although this one large fundraiser is held each year, the Board stressed that Red Angus stakeholders can financially support RAFI with tax-deductible donations anytime of the year. RAFI-Sponsored Events Directors also discussed the many worthwhile activities RAFI supported during the past year, including scholastic scholarships, JRA activities and various research projects. Annually, RAFI awards over $5,000 in scholarships to five deserving students. It was also reported that over 50 percent of the youth participating in the JRA’s Young Stockman’s Program in Denver were new to the event this year, indicating the vibrancy and excitement of the junior program, which RAFI supports. JRA also conducted a very successful Junior Round-Up this past summer in Virginia, which RAFI was proud to help financially. Research Support On the research front, RAFI is supporting projects on environmental adaptability, development of genetic predictions for functional traits such as feet and legs, and enhancement to the genetic analysis in order to produce more precise and reliable EPDs. The Red Angus breed is known to have the best objectively described cattle in the industry, and the RAFI-supported research will help Red Angus continue to enjoy this enviable status.
RAFI Holds Annual Meeting in Denver
Director Elections Another order of business at the Denver meeting was electing a new 2017 RAFI Directors. Judy Kay Ferguson, who had served as vice president, Esther Fisher and Larry Daniels’ terms expired. Elected to fill their vacancies were Scott Ford of Bertrand, Nebraska, Blake Angell of Gove, Kansas, and Dr. Bob Hough of Lone Tree, Colorado. The 2017 officers are Raymond Prescott, president; Ryan Ludvigson, vice president; and Frank Wedel, secretary-treasurer. Rounding out the 2017 Board are Steve Newberry and Tom Brink, ex-officio. RAFI and RAAA would especially like to thank Judy Kay, Esther and Larry for their tireless efforts in support of the Foundation. 2017 should be an exciting year for RAFI and the Red Angus breed. Everyone is invited to be involved and contribute to the many worthwhile activities and funds of the RAFI. For further information, please contact Patsy Krause or the RAAA National Office. Everyone is encouraged to visit the RAFI website, which can be found at www.redangusfoundation.org. ■

He was preceded in death by his parents Richard and Ethel Price, and survived by son John R.
