Fellow cattlemen, It is our privilege to bring you the 2014 edition of the Beef Sire Directory!

These sires represent our boundless passion for genetic research and data analysis, phenotypic evaluation, sire procurement, bull management and wellbeing, and of course, our unrivaled semen quality.

Dam of Prophet

From Gardiner Angus Ranch, KS; CAM Ranches and Ogeechee Angus, GA

• At weaning or on the grid, Prophet delivers Profit!

• Use to take advantage of powerful end-product premiums • One of the highest demand bulls in the breed—he offers wide-scale improvement • Daughters are feminine, high volume females bred for high production • Wow!—Over 450 head show his BW at 99 and WW at 103, plus his %IMF ratio is 112 on 260 scans!

Daughter, Ogeechee Angus, GA

Prophet takes performance to new levels with an incredible birth to growth spread combined with plenty of end-product power. His dam is one of the thickest Objective daughters ever and mated to Bextor, created one of the most sought-after Angus bulls in the business. Prophet sires docile cattle that are born small and grow like crazy and they’re consistently high for marbling.

Take advantage of genes that are proven to deliver premiums and profit in a period of all-time high beef prices. Prophet is an easy choice.

Dam of All In

No Ten X son matches All In’s blend of CED, $Weaning and $Beef Cleanest fronted, cleanest sheathed Ten X son we have evaluated His powerful dam goes back to the Calving Ease and Marbling leader GAR Objective 2345 Use to improve virtually every EPD with no sacrifices in phenotype Perfect choice for Predestined and New Day 454 daughters

Maternal Granddam of All In

Without question, Deer Valley All In is one of the most treasured young sires to enter A.I. in 2013. His genomically enhanced EPD profile places him in the stratosphere for the traits of economic importance. However, All In is phenotypically noteworthy. Among the In Focus and Ten X descendants we have evaluated, All In is an outlier for being exceptionally sharp outlined with a tight sheath, clean neck and brisket and balance from front to rear. With a proven and promotable maternal side to his pedigree, use All In with confidence to challenge the standard for traits that drive revenue and profitability in the beef industry.

From Connealy Angus Ranch, NE and 44 Farms, TX

Daughter, 44 Farms, TX

• One of the rare calving ease sires that meets the demands of the toughest phenotype critics • Continues to generate top performing, top selling sire groups across a range of environments • Use to sire deep sided, big bodied cattle with plenty of gas in the tank • A proven cowmaker pedigree with performance and phenotype extras

Son, Boyd Beef Cattle, KY

Capitalist remains one of the most phenotypically impressive Angus bulls we have encountered in recent history and two years of calves have proven his value as a big time breeding bull. Dependably siring more body width, mass and muscle expression than expected from his pedigree, use Capitalist to power up a variety cattle types. He can be used without concern on large groups of heifers while simultaneously adding dimension and stoutness like only a few Angus bulls can. He has become one of the favored bulls among Select Sires’ employees who also breed Angus cattle because his highly fertile semen produces a consistent body type that is easy to admire and market or keep as replacements.

Angus 7

Greetings from all of us at Certified Angus Beef LLC, My, oh my, has the cattle industry changed in the past four or five years! I recently put the timeline in perspective for a group of college students, but it strikes me how profound the effects will be and the need to keep ahead of that curve.

Most people start the conversation with prices and costs, but I would argue we should start by talking about genetic progress. The ability of these cattle to grow and grade while improving cow functional efficiency is just amazing.

What’s also impressive is how these Table 1: Top 25% Cattle Premiums superior genetics — like those supplied in this Select Sires AI directory — are Year 1998 2003 2008 2013 now being rewarded with serious dollar premiums. Look at how dramatically those $/Head 26.39 45.3 64.89 117.94 premiums have grown in 15 years on one leading grid (see Table 1). Those are still averages so, yes, $150 to $200/head premiums above the base are available in the market today.

Why is this occurring? Data in Table 2 derived by Kansas State University’s Dr. Ted Schroeder and Lance Zimmerman (now a Cattle-Fax analyst) show that demand for quality (Prime and Premium Choice, like Certified Angus Beef ® [CAB®]) has outpaced the demand for Low Choice and greatly outpaced the demand for Select. That’s why, in spite of declining cow numbers, our brand sales grew 54 million pounds (6.7%) to a seventh consecutive record high 865 million pounds. This didn’t happen in spite of record high beef prices, but because of it.

Yes, consumers are sending a strong message as to what they want to buy.

So, as cattlemen, what do you focus on to take advantage of these market signals? Well, first do not weaken on your marbling focus – it comes in many balanced packages through the bulls offered at Select Sires: just look for the Certified Angus Beef ® Targeting the Brand logo. Our most recent packing consist study (Table 3) shows that 28% of cattle that qualify for the CAB® brand barely made it, within 30 points of the Modest0 line. In shopping for bulls, that would compare one with a marbling EPD of .2 versus a .5, but remember the progeny carry only half of the sire genetics.

Having been around this great cattle industry for some time, I’ve never been more excited about what is going on each day. We are producing a great product thanks to you, and we now have genetic information that helps you make even better decisions to gain market premiums.

Besides all the details you’ll find here and through Select Sires, we invite you to explore the world of strategic information at www.CABpartners.com.

% Distribution

Another great tool to use are the economic indexes like $B from the American Angus Association. These values rank the growth and grading potential of calves sired by the excellent Angus bulls listed in the Select Sires catalog. Soon, you will likely begin to see feeder calves priced by their sire’s Table 3: Marbling score distribution of G1 cattle $B value — that will bring premiums all from licensed packing plants: 2013 way to the cow-calf producer. As CAB staff, we know our brand must create economic opportunity for all segments of the beef chain… and we are excited that it’s happening.

• Backed by one of the most noted cow families in the Angus breed. The Erica Dianna’s are known for producing low birth weight, highly maternal cow makers such as Wulff’s EXT 6106.

Signature is the result of a well-planned outcross mating designed to do many things well. Signature’s first calves are on the ground and are easy to spot with an up headed classy look with plenty of hip and power to back it up. Birth weights have been low with exceptional growth to follow. His dam is a powerful daughter of Next Day that has tremendous depth of body with exceptional length of hip. Use Signature to freshen up pedigrees.....he is an excellent choice for Upward, Final Answer, In Focus, 5050 and Total daughters.

Genetic Selection in Our Modern World or

Don’t Get Rid of the Scales Just Yet!

By Bill Bowman American Angus Association & Angus Genetics Inc.

Genetic selection practices for beef cattle production have evolved tremendously over the last fifty-plus years. State and regional beef cattle improvement organizations, along with national breed associations and other groups, began the promotion and accumulation of performance data in the seedstock industry to use these measurements for beef cattle breeding programs. Organizations like the Beef Improvement Federation were created early on, to provide a forum for discussion and sharing of principles in achieving genetic improvement.

variation in the traits of interest; thus, the results are used as indicator traits in the national cattle evaluations. The EPD calculations leverage the complete pedigree information, the performance data on all animals measured for a trait in proper contemporary groups, as well as the genomic data.

Since the early 1970s, national breed associations in this country have worked with scientists and universities to provide their clientele with selection tools utilizing the breed More importantly, the phenotypic measures collected by phenotypic databases. Continued expansion of the list of breeders will continue to be an important component in the economically relevant traits provided by breeds has allowed improvement of genomic panels, sometimes called re-training producers to apply precision selection or recalibration, and the refinement strategies to help characterize and of this technology over time. Plus, the select genetics that impact profit at all additional measurements continue Breeders sometimes ask if it is segments of a complex beef industry. to drive the EPD calculations by no longer necessary to collect data building upon the established Fast forward to the present.

As an genetics at an earlier age with greater example, the American Angus Asconfidence. In some cases, genomic technology also permits sociation database in 1963 had roughly 9,300 weaning weights selection in suites of traits that are difficult or very expensive after a few years of data collection. In 2013, that number to gather phenotypes. grew to some 8.5 million weaning weights. In today’s space, another million records are added approximately every three The promise of more widespread application of genomics in years. This depicts a valuable resource that has contributed our industry has led many to surmise that a producer would to enormous improvement in the genetic trend for Angus eventually be able to take a DNA sample on a newborn calf, cattle. These weaning weights, running in a multi-trait growth and immediately determine the genetic merit, or breeding model, allow the most accurate characterization of weight and value, of that animal for his program. Breeders sometimes ask maternal traits in our grasp today. The actual birth weights if it is no longer necessary to collect data at the ranch (e.g., (yes, those taken with scales and not a tape measure) serve as weaning weights, ultrasound scan data, carcass measures). an indicator trait for calving ease EPDs that the industry relies This thought process created the discussion that the seedstock on to improve chances of unassisted births in first-calf heifers. producer using the technology would no longer need to conAs previously stated, the genomic measures rely on these tinue the weighing and measuring of their cattle.

progeny-proven sires with accuracy and reliability providing low-risk solutions for genetic selection.

The laundry list of traits that stem from accurate weights and measures to contribute information in a comprehensive cattle production system continues to grow. Cow weights and body condition scores are essential to monitoring mature size and matching a cow to her environment. Heifer breeding and pregnancy data help to establish the genetic differences that can impact fertility and reproduction. Yearling scrotal measures contribute to the scrotal EPDs. Necessity traits like docility can be evaluated because of the temperament scores collected.

Feed consumption has long been recognized as one of the most important factors in determining profitability of beef cattle production. Many resources have gone into this research area, and progressive producers have invested in equipment to measure individual feed intake to identify genetic differences associated with efficiency. Genetic selection tools have been limited for efficiency traits in the past, but the accumulation of this important phenotypic data has been folded into selection tools that help to better characterize postweaning efficiency.

There has been an increased awareness in the last few years for the need to collect actual harvest data. That response has been driven by a better understanding the genetic evaluation model that produces carcass EPDs. As an example, the American Angus Association now uses over 101,000 actual carcass measurements on sire-identified cattle as the foundation of the carcass EPD system. Also, there are over 1.5 million ultrasound scans collected on yearling bulls and heifers included in the evaluation as an indicator trait to help predict carcass merit.

With the advent of genomics, now there are nearly 80,000 genomic records included in the Angus carcass evaluation as an indicator trait for carcass genetics. Those sources of data combined weekly generate about 2.5 million carcass EPDs. Using reliable carcass selection tools has driven profitable production in an industry where a consistent, high-quality product generates unmatched premiums.

In conclusion, the use of GE-EPDs and selection indexes provide producers more confidence in the genetic inputs going into their operation’s breeding program. Incorporation of the new and improved technology will continue to evolve and be used to further enhance these selection opportunities. However, the traditional performance measures evaluated in a proper contemporary group are needed more than ever to further refine these tools in the future.

So, don’t sell the scales yet.

One of our favorite up-and-coming sires because he integrates many genetic and phenotypic qualities Comrade’s first calves are impressive. Reports indicate low birth weights, excellent calf vigor and rapid early growth with exceptional type.

Extra length and extension for a 7229 son without compromising muscle expression and base width.

Ratioed 149 for IMF and 110 for RE against 489 high level contemporaries.

Produced from a picture perfect, exceptionally broody 5050 daughter with a great udder

Comrade continues to be one of the most distinctive Consensus 7229 sons we have encountered and shined in the recent genomic recalibration. Impressive from the ground up, Comrade is excellent footed with a deep heel and symmetrical toes. He is sensible in stature, with an angular shoulder, wide chest floor and expansive rib design. When you study him from behind, there are no compromises - Comrade is wide topped and wide tracking with a smooth and practical muscle pattern. Adding to his value is the gentle docility progressive stockmen demand out of a front pasture dam that anyone would be proud to own. If you’re looking for a balance of traits from one of the breed’s most respected programs, consider Connealy Comrade.

Dam of Mentor

Mentor has earned a place among the breed’s great cowmaker bulls Chest, heart, rib, width—Whatever you call it, Mentor delivers it!

For improved foot and leg structure, Mentor is one to count on Daughters are balanced, sound and excel for performance A proven standout for customer satisfaction

Daughter, McKellar Angus, TX

Mentor was a ‘Man among Boys’ as a yearling bull when he ratioed 116 for WW, 118 for YW, 124 for IMF and 122 for RE against 400 strong herdmates.

He has gone on to perform beyond expectations as a sound, muscular sire with plenty to offer, while his dam has been described as one of the most powerful cows to ever leave Connealy Angus. Not the highest or lowest for any trait, Mentor sires the ‘Rancher Kind’ that are right-sized with good feet, more than average muscle, ease of fleshing and udders that last. A true beef bull, Mentor will guide you to solid, balanced performance cattle.

Daughter, Dameron Angus, IL

Differentiating himself as the “must use” First Class son in the Angus population Sired the top selling prospects at Stertzbach and Dameron in 2013 Sires an unmatched blend of muscle and soundness Use to add thickness and mass with a flawless profile and movement

Daughter, Stertzbach Cattle Co, OH

One of the most unique sires of his kind to be represented at Select Sires in many years, First-N-Goal is a very special individual that is creating a lasting name for himself as a sire great ones. He displays the distinctive thickness and body mass found only in those rare bulls that become known as breed changers.

More importantly, First-N-Goal’s first calf crop suggests that he consistently transmits his substance and power with a feminine, attractive pattern. With his deceased sire’s semen being rare and high priced, consider highly fertile semen (conventional and sexed heifer) from First-N-Goal, the premier First Class son in the breed.

Choosing the Best SimGenetics

By Marty Ropp, Allied Genetic Resources As a profit driven producer you’ve made the logical decision to use the added value of crossbreeding. It is crucial now that you make informed choices to get the most out of your genetic options. There is more flexibility and more proven options using SimGenetics than in most breeds, but generating value and avoiding risk are high on almost everyone’s list of priorities. Plenty of mistakes were made in the past incorporating marginal Continental and British genetics into the US beef business. With today’s updated genetics, opportunities for AI and improved selection tools, there is absolutely no reason to revisit the challenges of the past or settle for average value. Producers select genetics for lots of purposes, but without question, EPDs are the best tools available to increase confidence in selection and move profit forward. Below are some reliable “rules of thumb” for EPD parameters that should be helpful for navigating your successful use of SimGenetics.

Calving Ease EPD – This is absolutely your best decision making tool for avoiding risk at calving. Remember Birth Weight EPD is already included in CE EPD along with all calving ease scores reported. For commercial virgin heifers +15 CE EPD is the absolute minimum I would consider using. To sleep all night on large groups of commercial heifers, push that figure up into the high teens or low twenties and your results should be as good as any Angus bull you’ve used. Breed of heifer, region of the country, calving season and labor at calving too are always factors to consider. With purebred Continental or SimAngus seedstock heifers, that recommendation could be relaxed somewhat to +12 or higher because of the extra maternal calving ease built into these females.

For mature cows Calving Ease EPD is a much lower concern. As a commercial producer however, there is still no reason to take unnecessary risks particularly if you have reduced the maternal calving ease capabilities of your cow herd by using generations of straight British genetics. Personally, as someone who purchases lots of commercial cow bulls, I prefer bulls in the high single digits for direct calving ease or higher (+8 or more). They work at calving with very little risk for mature cows and usually generate more performance than extreme calving ease bulls.

Weaning and Yearling Weight EPD – Both short and long term goals are important when you make decisions regarding growth traits. Short term, everyone loves more weaning weight and your feeder calf customers appreciate greater potential for gain in the feedlot. Long term, extremely high growth cattle that aren’t selected for moderation of mature size can lead to larger than desired cows years down the road. It is important to realize too that according to the most recent MARC data, a mature Angus cow and a mature Simmental cow are now the same size. Average Simmental and SimAngus bulls (around +60 WW EPD and +90 YW EPD) sire substantial growth. Bulls with +80 WW EPD and +120 YW EPD will add big time improvement in performance. Again understanding your marketing goals and long term needs are keys to making smart decisions.

Milk – Simmental is a high milk breed so average (around +23 MM EPD) or even somewhat below average Milk EPD is still plenty of milk for most situations. For those desiring to increase milk in their commercial herds, chose bulls above +30. Remember that by crossbreeding you are already getting a big boost in milk production because of the effects of heterosis. Personally, I would be leery of selecting for extreme growth and milk in combination. Seems like not much good came from that in the past.

52 Angus

Carcass EPDs – In America we eat the cattle. That is the bottom line for all of us and our consumer demand ultimately drives almost all non-farm dollar infusion into the beef industry. Keeping that in mind, improvement in marbling, tenderness and cutabilty need to be priorities almost every time we make genetic decisions.

High marbling Continental genetics like the ones that can be found in selected populations of Simmental and SimAngus cattle provide substantially more marbling than most all of their Continental competitors and provide comparable marbling genetics to even above average British cattle. Selecting Marbling EPD in the top 20% (+.2) of the breed should result in 75% - 85% Choice carcasses when used on average British based cows.

SimAngus sires with Marbling EPD in the top 20% (+.46) or higher should do substantially better than that on well managed cattle. The best news of all is that today’s SimAngus bulls, highly selected for end product value (roughly +.8 MB EPD, +.8 REA EPD and or +90 Terminal Index or higher) can generate a combination of Quality and Yield Grade nearly unrivaled in today’s beef industry. It is a good idea to avoid significantly below average marbling Simmental and SimAngus bulls if Quality Grade is important to you as a producer, because the resulting levels of Choice and Premium Choice carcasses may be disappointing. As a compliment to marbling, Simmental is one of the only breeds that offer a stand-alone EPD for improving tenderness. Few are paid directly for tenderness, but using bulls that sire tough beef seems illogical for the future. Choosing sires in the top 25% of the database for Shear Force EPD just makes good long term sense.

Almost all SimAngus and Simmental sires will add ribeye area, leanness and cutability to British genetics. While the changes may not seem extreme to most, expect average purebred Simmental sires to add 1 full square inch of ribeye to average British based cows and take off .1 inches of back fat from crossbred steers fed next to straightbred steers. The resulting one half USDA Yield Grade improvement (i.e. 3.3 to 2.8) will all but put an end to Yield Grade 4’s and the subsequent increase in gain efficiency will positively affect cost of production. Not surprisingly you can expect approximately ½ as much change in YG when using average SimAngus sires and producing ¼ Sim, ¾ British cattle.

All Around Profit (API EPD) – Selection for profit not only sounds like a good idea, but research shows it works! The All Purpose Index EPD is designed to move profit forward and help you avoid pitfalls in selection. Don’t misunderstand, it certainly is not without limitations and may not get everyone to the goals they have individually, but API is a nice tool to sort the wheat from the chaff. The most important factors effecting API EPD are stayabilty, direct and maternal calving ease, heifer pregnancy, mature cow maintenance, and marbling. With that in mind, maximum growth may not be attained by selecting for API, but most of the other traits that are crucial for avoiding risk and addressing long term success are in there. Chose cattle with API values in the top 25% of the breed to avoid problems and drive profit forward.

Then, among those higher indexing sires, select the ones that give you the other value pieces your operation demands.

Handling of Frozen Semen Straws Mel DeJarnette, Vice President of Processing and Research and Dr. Ray Nebel, Vice President of Technical Service Programs

Proper semen handling is essential to maintain optimum reproductive performance of your A.I. breeding program. To maintain the high quality of semen you purchased from your Select Sires representative, you must pay strict attention to the many details of semen handling outlined in this article.

STRAW RETRIEVAL AND THAWING

• Avoid raising straws above the frost line. (1) • On new canes, bend the identification tab up to a 45º angle. (2) • Use the forceps to remove one straw at a time from the top. If it takes more than 10 seconds to retrieve the straw, lower the canister back into the tank and allow to re-cool for 20 to 30 seconds. (3) • Shake the straw gently to remove excess liquid nitrogen and promptly place in 95º F (35º C) water to thaw for at least 45 seconds. Thaw only as many straws as you can use in 10 to 15 minutes.

When multiple straws are thawed, do not allow direct contact during thawing process. (4) • To retrieve straws from the bottom goblet, grasp the cane and raise it until the straws are even with other cane tops. Hold the cane and canister with one hand. With your forceps in the other hand, remove the desired straw and place it in the thaw water. (5)

LOADING THE INSEMINATION GUN

• Before loading the insemination gun, pre-warm the barrel by stroking it vigorously with your hand five or six times.

• Make sure the plunger is back about six inches to allow for insertion of the straw.

• Remove the straw from the thaw water and wipe it completely dry with a paper towel.

• Check to see that the straw contains semen from the desired bull and that a small bubble is at the crimped end.

• If the bubble is not at the crimped end, gently tap the straw until the bubble moves to its correct position.

• Place the cotton plug end of the straw in the gun.

It will stop at exactly the right depth.

• Wipe the scissors with a paper towel and cut the straw at a right angle ¼" below the lab seal. (6) • Slide the plastic sheath over the straw and gun and firmly attach the sheath and gun together. (7 and 8) • Inspect the straw end of the gun to ensure a proper seal between sheath and straw. (9) • Wrap loaded guns in a paper towel or in a plastic sheath cover to provide both thermal and hygienic protection and place inside your clothing for transport to the cow. (10)

Great…Now everyone’s gonna know!

Heat detection is a vital part of a successful breeding program.

With the Kamar® Heatmount® Detector your cows will give you a clear signal that they are ready to be bred.

The Kamar brand has long been the proven leader in heat detection, giving an accurate, reliable signal. The triggered red detector is easy to spot, and easy to understand.

What’s the difference? The unique timing device inside will only activate the detector after a three-second mount. No accidental bumps.

No hard-to-interpret smears or scratches. It gives a clear signal. And it stays on securely.

Talk to your A.I. rep or call for more information on the industry’s leading heat detector.
