elcome to the first-ever issue of Buckle & Banner! Did you know that Red Angus is the fastest growing major beef breed in the nation? Annual registrations of Red Angus cattle grew 21 percent during the past three years. The current situation looks promising too, with yet another double-digit increase noted in the first five months of fiscal year 2018-2019.

We often say that Red Angus is growing for all the right reasons. Today’s cattle industry is very demanding.

Successful breeds need to do many things well. Many important traits are required to successfully serve every segment of the beef business, from cow-calf to consumer.

Red Angus meets these needs and then some, which is why the breed is catching on across the country.

As Red Angus exhibitors, the job you do is beneficial in giving the breed exposure to more cattle producers from different walks and geographies. Just recently, a Red Angus member from a southern state recounted how his

show efforts at local events led to increased heifer and bull sales to commercial producers from the surrounding area.

They needed to know about him and the Red Angus breed before a sale could be made. Greater exposure is obviously a good thing. The best product in the world won’t sell unless people know about it.

Additionally, we want everyone who exhibits Red Angus cattle and that reads Buckle & Banner to understand that this publication was created just for you! It is our hope to better connect the Red Angus show community, to foster additional interest in the breed, and to add a little fun and enjoyment along the way. Feel free to offer any feedback you may have to Chessie Mitchell (chessie@redangus.org).

Our further intent is to provide educational opportunities through the articles presented in each quarterly publication of Buckle & Banner. We want you to feel more a part of the Red Angus Association of America, and to better understand how the Association works.

Let’s continue working diligently to keep Red Angus the fastest growing beef breed in America!

MISSION STATEMENT Our Mission is to provide our members and their customers with innovative programs and services, to continue advancing the quality, reliability and value of Red Angus and Red Angus-influenced seedstock used in the commercial beef industry.

CORE POLICIES 1. It is the RAAA’s primary role to create an environment that promotes the financial stability of its members.

2. The RAAA supports the development and use of membership-driven strategic planning.

3. The RAAA creates marketing tools for commercial bull customers, creating more demand for Red Angus and Red Angus-influence genetics.

4. The RAAA is committed to objectively describing and recording cattle, utilizing economically sound scientific principles with the least number of prediction values. Furthermore, the RAAA encourages good Stockmanhip and sound visual appraisal in seedstock selection.

5. Since its establishment, the RAAA has understood and accepted economic value of heterosis through planned crossbreeding.

6. The RAAA does not take a role in the marketing of an individual member’s cattle, therefore, the ARA Magazine editorial content has a commercial and technical focus. Individual seedstock supplier articles are avoided.

7. It is the duty of the RAAA to proactively communicate with its membership therefore proxy voting is not allowed. This policy was established in the Constitution and Bylaws of the Association at its inception to ensure that voting members are current on all pertinent information.

ave you ever contemplated what it would be like to have the ability to predict the future?

In a way, the selection tools available in the beef industry today allow us to do that. To show you what I mean, let’s break down the acronym in the title of this article. The acronym EPD stands for Expected Progeny Difference. “Expected” indicates that the value is a prediction. The prediction is an educated estimate based on the information gathered from the animals themselves, their pedigrees, and their progeny’s performance.

“Progeny” is where the future comes in. Based on the available information, EPDs predict the future performance of an animal’s unborn progeny. “Difference” is the way these estimates are measured, as a comparison to the progeny of other animals listed in the database.

Whether or not you’re on board with the idea that studying EPDs is like predicting the future, I think we can all agree that being able to understand EPDs is a paramount skill when navigating today’s beef industry.

EPDs allow producers to make selection decisions based on economically relevant traits. By using EPDs, beef producers can select for traits that will improve the future profitability of their beef cattle enterprise. These measures can be compared not only in the Red Angus breed but also across all breeds that participate in the International Genetic Solutions genetic evaluation.

Interpreting Data

The Red Angus Association of America publishes 16 individual EPDs for different measurements as well as two economic selection indexes. Table A represents each of the different EPDs and their definitions.

Listed alongside EPDs are an accuracy value and a percentile ranking. The accuracy value indicates how reliable the EPD is based on how much information is available to make the prediction. Animals with higher accuracy values have more information, which usually comes from progeny records. The percentile ranking shows where an individual animal’s EPD ranks among the Red Angus population for which it is being compared.

The most common groups that Red Angus animals will have their percentile ranking calculated in are: proven sires, genetic opportunity sires, active dams or non-parent animals.

JANUARY 2019 FEBRUARY 2019

Table B illustrates an example of looking at a single EPD and comparing two sires. When examining the weaning weight EPDs of these two bulls you can see that, on average, we would expect Bull B’s progeny to weigh 15 pounds more at weaning compared to the progeny of Bull A, when mated to genetically similar dams. Another important consideration is the difference in accuracy values. The accuracy value of Bull A’s WW EPD is much higher than that of Bull B. Therefore, more data was available on Bull A than Bull B. This is a common example that comes up when older more proven sires are compared to younger unproven sires. This is important because on the RAAA website we can look at the possible change table for WW EPDs. This table represents the range that we’d expect the true breeding value of an animal’s EPD to fall in 68 percent of the time. As we look at the table, we can see that Bull A’s range would be 58.4 to 61.6 and Bull B’s range would be 62 to 88. As we gather more information on an animal, we expect the accuracy to increase and this range to narrow.

Resources for you

Two tools provided by the RAAA that may be used to improve multiple traits simultaneously are the HerdBuilder and GridMaster indexes. These indexes consider the economic values of EPDs relevant to a given production scenario to compare the profitability of different animals in that situation. The HerdBuilder index is an all-purpose index that focuses on traits vital to cow herd productivity, and also considers carcass characteristics for animals not retained as replacements. The GridMaster index focuses solely on terminal traits and helps to predict differences in progeny that are marketed on a grid basis. The advantage to using indexes for selection decisions is that the indexes weight multiple traits simultaneously. This removes the need to individually weight out all of the EPDs separately.

Using EPDs for selection is the best way to make decisions to improve economically relevant traits. Due to the fact that EPDs focus on the genetic merit of animal that can be passed from one generation to the next, EPDs should be incorporated into all selection decisions. By using EPDs, members can improve traits of interest and compare how their animal’s genetic merit for those traits compare to the rest of the Red Angus population.

• Ensure the TSUs are sealed completely by the red stopper with the sample, fluid and green ball inside.

• Always align hair follicles and place them under the sticky film on a hair card.

• Collect samples from relatively clean and dry areas of the animal.

• After collections, store TSU samples at room temperature and out of direct sunlight.

Your guide to Red Angus DNA requirements, timelines and processing information.

STORY BY fallon flick

W

hat is DNA anyway?” I often get this question from members, along with, “How do I know when to DNA test?” and “How long does it take?” We could dive deep into the scientific side of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and go on about base pairs, alleles and DNA extraction, but let’s start with the practical side of the DNA requirements, specifically parent verification and genetic defect testing, in order to register a calf crop.

16 Buckle & Banner

JANUARY 2019 FEBRUARY 2019

a publication of the red angus association of america

The knowledge that DNA testing has generated in the registered cattle business is not only powerful beyond measure but is exciting and important. The significance of DNA testing has become so relevant that nearly every breed association has some level of DNA requirements that must be met prior to cattle being registered. So, let me help you understand the RAAA’s DNA requirements for registration to help alleviate setbacks and time delays.

RAAA will hold the certificate and registration of an animal until DNA requirements are met on the following scenarios: 1. The sire of the animal does not have DNA on file (Reg Type Z).

2. The donor dam of the animal does not have DNA on file (Reg Type Z).

3. There is a genetic defect carrier in the animal’s pedigree without an intervening animal tested free (Reg Type U).

It’s important to remember that the REDSPro data entry system will allow you to process a job or submit information on an animal even though DNA requirements are not met. If the requirements are not met, the animal will go into the system and receive a registration number but will be placed on hold (most often Reg Type Z or U).

Unless the animal has a Reg Type of I (Incomplete) or R (Registered), a certificate cannot be printed on the animal and it cannot be transferred to a different owner. I highly encourage you to review all information after it is entered to ensure that the animal is truly at a registered “R” status.

It is also extremely important to register animals sooner rather than later to allow time for DNA to process, if necessary. If you ever question the animal’s Reg Type, please contact the DNA department at dna@redangus.org.

Animals cannot be moved to I or R status until the required DNA testing is complete, so always double check.

In the event that you have an animal on hold and a sample needs to be submitted, here are a few important things to keep in mind.

1. All DNA for Red Angus must be sent to and processed by the RAAA national office in Colorado 2. The required form for all DNA orders is downloadable at redangus.org/genetics/dna-forms. It must include the animal and test information, a signature and payment before we can send samples to the lab.

Incomplete order forms, missing payments or failure to complete a form will result in the entire order being held in the office.

3. We cannot rush a DNA order. The chemical processes that the sample must undergo to get the required results will take approximately 15-20 business days at the lab, which is not in our control.

JANUARY 2019 FEBRUARY 2019

The most important factor in the DNA process is collecting a high-quality sample. If a sample is low quality or not collected properly on the correct hair or blood card, the lab processing time could DOUBLE. Tissue samples generally yield more accurate results. Samples that do not generate quality data from the first round of testing (15-20 business days at the lab) may be processed a second time in hopes of getting results. If a sample is reprocessed, the entire testing period could reach upwards of 40 business days. If the lab still cannot get results from the sample, it will be listed as failed and the breeder will be back at square one collecting another sample and paying for another test.

To help prevent this conundrum, the RAAA office provides DNA collection instructions and kits to collect blood or hair samples free of charge to any member. These kits can be kept for future sampling or used immediately. I would recommend keeping extra blood and hair cards on hand to help prevent any delay in DNA sampling or if an animal needs to be re-sampled. Additionally, if we receive a sample that we are not confident will yield results, we will contact you before it is sent to the lab to prevent as many unnecessary failures, expenses and time delays as possible.

Tissue Sample Units have a small purchase fee but since cross contamination is less likely, producers find it is valuable in the more accurate results with fewer instances of retesting or re-sampling.

DNA testing and the related requirements can be frustrating, however, understanding the processes and requirements help improve success and turnaround time.

These processes and requirements are necessary for the Red Angus breed to remain high quality and reputable, which adds value to your genetics as breeders.

Follow these tips and tricks to prepare for show day. story by JEANANNE MOSHER

play by the rules

Read the premium book for the show you are entering.

Some shows follow the RAAA show rules while others do not. Know the requirements!

know the registration number

do your background check

Ensure all sires and donor dams have DNA on file with the association.

know where to go

If you are purchasing a registered animal make sure you know its registration number. Look up the animal under the RAAA animal search feature at RedAngus.org.

Transfers and registrations can be done online in REDSPro. Data that has been “Final Submitted” when logged in will be uploaded into the database and receive a registration number immediately.

communication is key

keep clean records

Be sure the seller knows to transfer the animal to your exact member account or name if you are a new buyer. Also be sure to speak with the seller if you have a transfer deadline.

They are responsible for transferring the animal to you.

You can look up the animal by its registration number to see who the current owner is.

the early bird gets the worm

If you are registering your own calves, submit your registrations early. Give yourself time to make corrections or to complete requirements if the animal goes on hold.

dot your i’s and cross your t’s

If you are submitting online, be sure to pay attention to the warnings tab — you will have to accept these warnings prior to submission as this is where you will be notified if the calf will go on hold.

20 Buckle & Banner

Be sure to submit weaning data on calves to keep them at category 1A or 1B.

pay your dues

Juniors must have an active Junior Red Angus Association of America membership in order to show at any of our listed regional or national Red Angus shows.

patience is a virtue

DNA testing is a chemical process which cannot be rushed in any fashion. Please allow 15 – 20 business days for the lab to process your DNA sample. Get them in early!

Story by: KATIE OCHsNER

Cattle not wanting to drink is one of the most common frustrations at a livestock show. Here are a few helpful tips:

Use a water purifier/filter

Molasses

Gatorade or Kool-aid

Salt blocks

These can be found for an affordable price and can be used time and time again.

The powder form of either dissolves quickly and conserves space in the showbox, but the liquid form can also be used.

Beet pulp

Beet pulp is palatable and cattle may drink the whole bucket just to get the pulp at the bottom.

JANUARY 2019 FEBRUARY 2019

Add enough molasses to color the water. Cattle love the flavor.

Offer salt to make them extra thirsty.

Regardless which of the above options you may choose, consistency is key. Make sure you use the same option at home in the weeks leading up to the show as you plan to use when you get to the show.

The whole point is to make the water taste the same at home and at the show. Also, use the same buckets at home as you will use at the show!

The Young Stockman Program works to provide a hands-on learning experience to Junior Red Angus members. The event takes an in-depth look at a specific topic each year. At the 2019 event, the Young Stockman Program will focus on feedlot nutrition, health and handling, as well as meat products.

A highlight of the program will be reviewing the carcass and growth data of the LiveWiRED calves in relation to the EPD and DNA data.

Experts in the area will teach juniors about the importance of health and nutrition, plus the handling of these calves in the feedlot and how diet and stress affect them. Juniors will also have the opportunity to be in the meats lab at Iowa State to look at carcasses to learn more about meat science and product development.

Juniors share essentials that they take to every show.

1. show coat

Sold by Show Coat Solutions, Show Coat is a naturaloils-based hair-growth solution.

2. scrub brush

Never leave the barn for a show without a trustworthy brush or comb. Madison’s favorite is a scrub brush to help remove dirt from the coat, stimulate hair growth and give her cattle the best shine.

3. Registration binder First things first at any show — you must register your animal.

Always have your registration papers handy by keeping it in the same spot in your showbox at all times.

1. clippers

We all can use a good trim. Have your clippers handy at any time to fix a tailhead or trim up a leg. To make sure you’re extra prepared for show day, keep an extension cord handy next to your cliippers.

2. show stick

Almost as important as the show harness itself, be sure to never lose track of your show stick by keeping it inside or strapped to your showbox.

3.deck of cards

Gather up your friends to play a game of cards when you’re not in the ring or at the tie-outs.

The best of the frustrating, yet funny stories. story by katie ochsner

I

t’s always interesting to me how the creative minds of young juniors work. Back in my glory days, our family had stalled with another family we knew, and among them was a young showman. He was excited to be there but had a lot to learn so my brother and I took him under our wing to show him the ropes. One morning when I got my heifer back to the stall from the wash rack and began to comb her, the young man next to me was blowing out his heifer. His heifer started to pee. Onlookers to the situation said they could see the wheels is his head begin to turn as he considered the speed of the air coming out of the blower, the stream of urine coming out of the heifer and my proximity to all of this. Slowly but surely, he turned his blower head towards the back end of the heifer which ultimately resulted in me getting a nice spray to the face. Needless to say, I was none too happy at the time, but this situation resulted in a good story that I can share and laugh about now that the stench is gone.
