Our approved lab for DNA, Neogen, has increased the cost of blood and hair cards to the ASA and as a result, it is necessary to start charging for them to cover this increase, plus the postage it takes to send them.

Blood cards are now $1/card and hair cards are $2/card. Methods for obtaining them have not changed. Please call the office or fill out the card request on shorthorn.org to order. The lab’s preferred methods are TSU samples and blood cards. TSU kits can be purchased directly through Neogen or Allflex. *Remember, there is an additional fee for testing hair and semen. **DO NOT test twins via blood samples.

New Rule - Jan. 1, 2022 The Board of Directors unanimously approved a new rule, which begins January 1, 2022: “All bulls (Shorthorn & ShorthornPlus) born January 1, 2022 and after will be required to have a genomic profile and parentage markers on file. In order to register any progeny with the American Shorthorn Association”.

This means that regardless of service type, all bulls (Shorthorn & ShorthornPlus) used for breeding need to be genomically tested (currently, this is the 100K test but could be subject to change according to Neogen standards in the future). This pertains to AI sires as well as pasture sires/clean up bulls. The rule only affects bulls born after Jan 1, 2022, so this rule won’t really come into play until their progeny are born, late 2023 or 2024.

Please be aware that AI sires still require the 3 genetic conditions as well – TH, PHA, and DS.

150th Social at NAILE The ASA will be hosting a 150th Anniversary social to honor past Presidents and past Builders of the Breed.

This social will take place on Saturday night, November 12th, after the Deck the Stalls Junior Fundraiser at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky.

Everyone is invited to join!

Association Outlook

Shorthorns Around the World

A

s summer draws to a close, it seems more is going on this year with the Shorthorn family than in years past. Relief from the Covid-19 pandemic is one reason. Our folks are moving on with their lives and not letting daily lives be influenced by the anxieties of the past couple of years, resulting in more functions returning to normal, like county and state fairs, along with other Shorthorn events. The Shorthorn breed continues to prosper as breeders get back in the saddle.

One major function I attended this summer was the Shorthorn World Conference in the United Kingdom.

This was one of the more successful World Conferences I have attended.

It was very well planned and provided an interesting venue for activities. The theme for the 2022 Conference was celebrating 200 years of the Coates Herdbook. We spent a considerable amount of time in the region where the Shorthorn breed was founded over 200 years ago. The history of our breed and the passion of the breeders in that region make it very special. I mentioned in last month’s article the similarities of the issues we all share as Shorthorn breeders regardless of the country, which rang true this year. We spent a full day listening to speakers the UK Shorthorn Beef and Dairy Associations brought in.

The main topics could have been right here in the USA. One of the main concerns in the UK is greenhouse gases and how agriculture affects the environment. Much research is taking place on different kinds of

feedstuffs and how they affect the methane gas from ruminants. It was interesting listening to the experts and breeders on this subject. I believe we can learn something from their advanced research. This was not only coming from the UK; other countries like Australia have the same issues. I feel they are further advanced in this area than we are here in the US. They are addressing this subject to satisfy the consumer. In the UK Shorthorn Beef has a branded program with a grocery chain like Whole Food Market stores.

Their representative spoke of customers wanting to know more about the food they eat. This is so familiar with what is happening with consumers in the USA. It is easy to push aside these issues as they have not affected our market yet, but the light bulb should come on here in our country. We, as producers, should get ready for some dramatic market changes for our product - it is already happening in other locations around the world. Our ASA Shorthorn Beef locally raised is a good place to start.

I challenge all Shorthorn breeders to write your stories about your operation and/or family activity in the Shorthorn breed. Put a small, classified ad in your local papers about offering freezer meat from Shorthorn cattle raised in your family operation. It will make a difference in the years to come. This type of promotion is inexpensive and will present Shorthorn as an ideal option for the consumer and for the persons looking to get into the business of purebred cattle.

Another area of importance at the Conference in the UK was genomics.

The importance of getting more data and genomic information on the cattle population. The dairy boys have proven this with their tenfold advancement in milk production using gnomically enhanced EPDs. They even brought a speaker from the US to the UK for this subject. The conversation of getting a global data bank for Shorthorn cattle to take advantage of data from a worldwide view was also mentioned. Something like this would be a game changer.

I strongly recommend planning to attend the next Shorthorn World Conference in three years which will be hosted by Canada. The USA will be hosting the World Conference in 6 years, so start thinking about being involved in that process. Please look on page 26 for some photos taken at the Conference.

I want to bring attention to the ending of the 150th Anniversary Celebration for the American Shorthorn Association.

We are planning a big finale at the North American Show in Louisville this year.

On Saturday night we will be hosting a special 150th celebration festivity for all to attend. We hope to have past Builders of the Breed and past presidents of the ASA attend. This will be held on Saturday evening at the Crowne Plaza Hotel after the Deck the Stalls Fundraiser Auction in the barn. There will be hors d’oeuvres, drinks, and lots of Shorthorn fellowship. Make plans to attend as we end a fantastic year of celebrating the ASA as the oldest Beef Breed in the US! = American Shorthorn Association

Evaluating Accuracy As seedstock producers, we talk plenty about EPDs, but less often to we get into discussion about the accompanying piece to each EPD: its accuracy value.

By book definition, accuracy of an EPD is the relationship between estimated breeding value of the animal (the published EPD) and the “true” breeding value of the animal. The accuracy of an EPD is calculated simultaneously with the EPDs during the weekly IGS runs.

Accuracy values range from 0.00 to 1.00. Each accuracy value also has an associated possible change value for each trait. Think of this possible change value like a standard deviation. The possible change values demonstrate how wide our variation can be for an animal at that accuracy level. You may not realize it, but you have seen this number before in Digital Beef. It is labeled as the “+/Chg” directly below the EPD. Selection indexes do not have accuracy values, as they are a combination of multiple EPDs in a formula. The methodology used for calculating accuracy on a single EPD does not fit for selection indexes.

The best visualization of this concept is by looking at a bell curve for various accuracy levels. “The curve” may have helped some of you pass college, and now it will help you visualize what the accuracy of an EPD is telling us. On these curves, the center number of the curve is the example animal’s weaning weight EPD (equal to 50 in all our scenarios). With that as our estimated breeding value for the animal, each curve will demonstrate various levels of accuracy (0.20, 0.40, 0.60, and 0.80).

When you look at a bell curve with standard deviations, approximately 69% of the area of the curve is within one standard deviation of the mean (middle), and 95% is within 2 standard deviations of the mean. Our WW EPD is the mean, and our possible change values are our standard deviations.

12

For an animal with a WW EPD accuracy of 0.20, you’re likely looking at a young calf with maybe a weaning weight turned in on himself and no genomics.

The possible change value at this 0.20 accuracy level is +/- 13. That means that we’re confident his true genetic value for weaning weight is between 37 and 63, and we’re almost certain that it is between 24 and 76.

turned in on them to the point that his accuracy rises to 0.60. With our change value dropping to 7, we now are largely confident his breeding value is between 43 and 57. At this point, we’ve shrunk the window to the point we should feel like we have a good indication of how this bull breeds.

Let’s say we get genomically enhanced EPDs on the calf and accuracy improves to a 0.40. Then, our ranges shrink to one standard deviation being 40 to 60, and that we’re 95% confident that our breeding value is between 30 and 70.

Yes, that’s still a good bit of variation, but we are drawing the window in closer.

This is where genomic enhanced EPDs on young cattle show their value.

Finally, the bull becomes popular and is used via AI in several herds for a few years. His WW EPD accuracy climbs to 0.80. With a change value of 3 at this accuracy level, we’re now confident his true breeding value is between 47 and 53, while being almost certain his true value is between 44 and 56.

From this exercise, you can see that the key to increasing accuracy in EPDs is data: individual, genomic, and progeny data. With our move to IGS and the BOLT genetic evaluation system four years ago, the calculation of accuracies has become more precise

due to increased computing power that wasn’t available in the early days of EPD calculations. Today’s accuracy values are lower than what we saw 10 years ago, but the experts in the field assure us that they have more faith in current accuracy

arithmetic compared to previous models.

Studying accuracy of EPDs is almost as important as studying the EPD values themselves, as this exercise shows that not all EPD of equal value are truly created equal. Even with the challenges

associated with lower accuracy values, EPDs are still our best available statistical tool for genetic selection. It’s important to keep in mind that like any tool for any job, they have their limitations and only work when properly utilized.=

The Shorthorn Youth Development Fund was established in 2020 to provide financial support to develop Shorthorn youth as cattle producers and responsible, productive citizens. The fund is dedicated to enriching the lives of youth interested in agriculture, through support for the educational and leadership activities of the American Junior Shorthorn Association.

The Shorthorn Youth Development Fund is a non-profit organization and resource that allows you to directly invest in the future of the breed that is your business, your lifestyle and your passion. The reason for building this fundraising platform was to streamline the donation process and make contributing to youth development more accessible for everyone, especially those whose business directly benefits from junior and family customers.

With the changes to our new fundraising platform, we are raising money as annual pledges towards the Shorthorn Youth Development Fund. If you make a pledge donation, you will become a member of the new “Shorthorn Red, White and Roan Club.” Membership level is based on the actual monetary value of your donation. Red, White and Roan Club Members receive recognition in many forms.

If you have questions about recognition or levels, contact shelby@shorthorn.org.

The fund accepts checks and credit cards. You can even set your contribution up to be billed directly to your DigitalBeef Shorthorn Registry account on a one time, monthly or quarterly basis. No contribution is too small, and every dollar counts!

By making the commitment to “pay it forward” through your pledge to the Shorthorn Youth Development Fund, today’s breeders accept responsibility of seeing to it that our youth have the opportunities they need to prepare for their time as the Shorthorn breeders of tomorrow.

On Point Every summer the Livestock Publications Council hosts the Agricultural Media Summit, the largest conference of agricultural communicators in the United States. It provides opportunities for networking, professional development, and personal development through speakers and workshops.

This year I flew east to Raleigh, North Carolina, for the “On Point” conference.

I started the trip with the “where the city meets country: agriculture in food, drink and tourism tours.” Our first stop was at Raleigh Denim, a storefront and small factory that crafts jeans. They started in their apartment and now sell jeans for more than $200. The next stop was at Lake Wheeler Road Experimental Farm.

We first visited Yates Mill, a working 1756 grist mill. It is one of the oldest in the US and is owned by the university. We then visited the AgroEcology Education farm where produce is grown that supplies the dining hall at North Carolina state.

The farm also uses food waste from the dining hall to make compost for the crops grown. Our third stop of the day was at Chapel Hill Creamery, a local cheese-making farm that has been in business for more than 20 years. We

learned about how they got started in the business and sampled award-winning cheeses. For the final stop, we visited Full Steam Brewery and learned about their different beers. We heard from the owner and founder about how he got started and his process for beer names and marketing. We also learned about how they support agriculture and farmers in their area.

The workshops this year at AMS were exceptional. They gave me the opportunity to grow not only professionally but personally as well.

The first session I attended was about social media strategies. The biggest takeaway was that social media should be a major part of your business plan and not resting on the back burner.

Next, I attended a workshop that was all about podcasts. As someone who has only ever listened to podcasts, this was a great learning experience. I was able to learn about different types of equipment and software to get a podcast started as well as how to create a podcast. They spoke on the importance of the people on the podcast and the frequency of episodes. This will be beneficial if I ever have to work on a podcast. I went to a session about how to use social media

Grist Mill

to grow a community presented by a local social media influencer. This one was interesting because she provided a different perspective, especially with her lack of agricultural background.

She visits and reviews restaurants in the state of North Carolina and has grown a large following. She spoke about her experience and how others can grow their social media presence.

During lunch, Jen Hartmann, marketing director for John Deere, spoke about the top 10 things that every ag media professional needs. This was informational and fun to hear from someone who markets a company at such a high level. The number one thing she said was needed is pride in our purpose – to be proud of what you do. I think this extends past ag media professionals to all our members and breeders. Everyone should be proud of what they do.

I also attended the LPC business meeting and volunteered for committees to assist with awards, AMS planning, and student involvement.

It was a great week of education and networking with fellow agricultural communicators. I look forward to next year and learning more. =

Junior Corner

Encouragement It is with great pleasure that I have been elected to be an AJSA Junior Director this year. I might not have been able to speak with each one of you at Junior Nationals, but I want to say, thank you for this great opportunity to serve you and the Shorthorn breed. Being on the tail end of the year, I would like to take a moment to remind everyone to encourage the people around them.

A quote that has always stuck out to me is “encouragement is like oxygen to the human spirit. You’re carrying someone else’s air encourage them; help them breathe” (John C Maxwell). It is so easy to get caught up in the busyness of life. The school year has recently started, show season is right around the corner, and daily life activities can keep us all so busy, that it is easy to get lost and feel discouraged.

Life can be challenging for everyone at times, having encouragement from the people around you can create a positive environment to help you overcome. Something small and simple as a text saying “have a good day” or “you’re doing good, keep up the great

work” can mean all the difference in the world to someone. Being an encouraging supporter in someone’s life can help them persevere and accomplish greatness as well as impact them to encourage others. However, it is also crucial to encourage yourself. Having confidence in your ability is the first step to encouraging yourself. Start by telling yourself “I can” and then make it happen. Take time to reflect on what you’ve accomplished. Even the smallest wins should be recognized, they too play a role in the larger wins.

I know that our magical Shorthorn Kingdom will continue to provide the encouragement and support we all need from each other to have the strength to look ahead and reach for the next goal.

By remembering to encourage each other we will be the most magical breed on earth. My fellow board members and I are always here to support and encourage our junior members so please don’t hesitate to reach out to any of us if you need anything.

Stay cool, pray for rain, and be safe.=
