WELCOME Greetings, fellow livestock enthusiasts, and welcome to the fifth installment of the Midwest Aberdeen Association membership directory. Once again, we’re excited to present this outstanding set of advertisers and members to you. We are confident the information in this directory will help to expand your cattle network, no matter which part of the country you live in. As you browse these pages, you will find experienced Aberdeen and Moderator producers who can provide you with superior genetic opportunities, offer their knowledge and expertise, and share their passion for this tremendous breed.

The Aberdeen breed truly has a lot to offer. These cattle provide elite calving ease and calf vigor, resulting in higher survival rates with less labor input. Our breed’s efficiency is second to none: You’ll consistently see cows that wean calves at 50+ percent of their own body weights, production females thriving on less pasture acreage per unit than their non-Aberdeen counterparts, and calves that perform well in a feedlot setting and hang high-value carcasses. Without a doubt, Aberdeen genetics will work for you.

We are proud to host numerous Aberdeen gatherings here in the Midwest Region. Our shows each year at the Iowa State Fair, World Beef Expo, and American Royal are some of the most elite Aberdeen events in the nation. We are adding more field days and junior show opportunities this year and are very excited to get more juniors involved. We invite you and your families to attend. We’d be glad to see you.

We also invite you to join our growing regional association, if you aren’t already a member. Check out Page 20, where you will find all the newest benefits we are offering to our paid members. For the most up-to-date information about Midwest Aberdeen and its upcoming activities, follow us on Facebook or visit our website. If you have any questions about the Aberdeen breed, are interested in joining our membership, or simply want to talk cattle, give one of our directors a call. We look forward to hearing from you.

TATTOOING GUIDELINES American Aberdeen Association (AAA) rules require that all registered animals carry a tattoo in one or both ears. Tattoos must consist of the original owner’s herd letters, an individual animal identification number, and a year letter.

HERD LETTERS

Herd letters are assigned to each member when application for membership is submitted, and to non-members when they first register an Aberdeen with AAA. Herd letters must be a minimum of two and not more than three letters.

When registering a calf born to its natural dam, the herd letters of the owner at the time of birth must be used, and that individual must register the calf before its ownership can be transferred.

An embryo calf must be tattooed and registered with the herd letters of the owner of the calf at the time of registration.

Under no circumstances should you attempt to register an animal with herd letters that have not been approved and assigned to you by the Registry Office, or with the herd letters of another member or breeder.

INDIVIDUAL I.D. NUMBER

No two animals can carry the same tattoo, so your individual identification numbering system is important. The individual ID number can be a minimum of two and not more than four digits, including the year letter.

YEAR LETTER

Part of the required Aberdeen tattoo must be a letter indicating the animal’s year of birth. It is typically the last digit in the tattoo.

The upcoming year letters are as follows:

2021 - J 2022 - K 2023 - L

2024 - M 2025 - N 2026 - P

Note: The letters I, O, Q and V are not used in the year-letter succession.

EXAMPLES OF ACCEPTABLE TATTOOS

The tattoo should be arranged with the Herd Letters followed by the Individual ID Number then the Year Letter.

In these examples: The herd letters are ALR, the animal’s individual ID is 1, and the year letter is X.

TISSUE SAMPLING WHY TISSUE SAMPLING?

With advancements in DNA collection, tissue sampling is becoming very popular with producers. Scientific advancement in the mapping of livestock genomes, along with continued development of affordable analytics, has changed the sampling industry.

Samples can be collected in seconds with minimal animal restraint. A single-squeeze motion collects a clean, uncontaminated sample, minimizing distress to the animal. The genetic material is then sealed in a specially designed preservative for shipment, ensuring success of the on-farm sample. Tissue contains a large quantity of high quality DNA for genetic analysis, yielding excellent lab results with minimal retesting.

Use tissue sampling for: • Parentage Verification

• Genetic Selection

• BVD Diagnostics
