1 Mequatling Angus The 2018 Mequatling Angus Genetic Accelerator Sale Proudly sponsored by: 1

2 \ Vicky and I would like to heartily welcome you to the 2018 Mequatling Angus bull and female sale the 2018 Mequatling Angus Genetic Accelerator Sale! Mequatling Angus has been at the forefront of the South African Angus Beef industry for more than 50 years and has been the leading innovator for the South African Angus breed. The contribution made by my late father, Willem Barnard, was immense: He imported various herdsires and prepotent females from the USA & Scottland from 1978 onwards plus he imported the 1 st Angus embryos from the USA in Artificial Insemination was established by him as core to the Mequatling Angus business. This tradition of constant innovation continues: Our USA herd, Mequatling of Missouri USA, served as a source of World Class genetic acceleration for the Clocolan based Mequatling Angus herd and provided over 200 embryos that were imported by Mequatling, South Africa Mequatling was part of the pioneering effort to bring Real Time Ultrasound carcass evaluation to South Africa in Since then, some 1460 animals have been carcass evaluated by Mequatling Angus. Mequatling accounts for 46.2% of all SA Angus carcass scanning over the past 10 years. Mequatling growth tests all sale bulls on the Mequatling official phase D growth test - this annual test is the largest official Angus growth test in the country and 1020 bulls have completed the Mequatling growth test over the past 10 years (accounting for 20.7% of all SA Angus bulls tested). Since the 2006 sale, Mequatling has aided customers by measuring all bulls for sale time frame score so as to assist buyers decision making with real measurements. Mequatling confirms the parentage of all breeding animals via dna (without this confirmation, stated pedigrees and breeding values often are meaningless). Some 2134 Mequatling dna records are on file representing 68.8% of all Angus dna profiles on record with Clinomics. Mequatling received its 1 st genomic carcass evaluations from Genestar in Mequatling currently accounts for 88.9% of all Angus Genomic data on file at SA Studbook. Mequatling has one of the most intensive Artificial Insemination programmes in the SA Angus industry that acts as the prime Mequatling genetic accelerator % of the herd is AI d via nonsyncronised natural heat spotting with 83.7% of these females confirmed AI pregnant. Our embryo programme is the engine room of Mequatling genetic acceleration: the 79 Mequatling donor cows flushed by Dr Robert Treadwell over the past 11 years produced an average 13.8 viable embryos per flush with a 71.4% average confirmed pregnancy rate. 103 Mequatling embryo recipients are due to calf Spring There are some very special donor prospects included in this year s sale offering, including 5 proven donors. 30 embryo bred sons/daughters are included in the 2018 Mequatling Angus Genetic Accelerator Sale. Mequatling would like to provide customers with genetics to accelerate their own genetic progress. At Mequatling we try our level best to produce cattle that excel in reproduction, milking and growth as well as carcass quality, all combined together in an eye-appealing package. We believe that innovative and proven performance data should back the cattle and not just opinions. Preoccupation with real-world genuine performance remains the primary focus at Mequatling. As always, we are selling every pregnant 6 year old female no exceptions! The cows on offer are a gorgeous group of powerful broodcows and are tremendously functional - the average reproduction index for the cows on sale is a mind-blowing 120 index. (More importantly, the lowest reproduction index of any cow on sale is an outstanding 117 index). We are celebrating the 2018 Mequatling Angus Genetic Accelerator Sale by including 2 heavily pregnant embryo recipients in the sale offering plus 20 grade 1 frozen embryos from top of the range donor cows. The selection of bulls continues to provide excellent Butt, Body and Balance. All bulls have performed on South Africa s largest growth test and carcass evaluation. The selection process has been ruthless and only the top 34% of bulls born in 2016 are on sale today. 2

3 Dit is vir ons aangenaam om almal by die 2018 Mequatling Angus bul en 6-jaar oud vroulike veiling te verwelkom die 2018 Mequatling Angus Genetiese Versnellingsveiling! Mequatling Angus is al vir meer as 50 jaar aan die voorfront van die Suid-Afrikaanse Angus Vleisbedryf en bly die leier in innovasie in die Suid-Afrikaanse Angusbedryf. My oorlede pa, Willem Barnard, se bydrae was enorm: Hy het verskeie kuddevaars en vroulike diere met erfdwang ingevoer vanaf 1978 en hy het ook die 1 ste Angus embrio s vanaf die VSA ingevoer in Kunsmatige Inseminasie is deur hom gevestig as kern van die Mequatling Angus besigheid. Die tradisie van konstante innovasie word voortgesit: Ons VSA kudde, Mequatling van Missouri VSA, het gedien as n bron van Wêreldklas genetiese versnelling vir die Clocolan gebaseerde Mequatling Angus-kudde en het meer as 200 embrio s voorsien wat ingevoer is deur Mequatling, Suid-Afrika Mequatling was deel van die baanbreker-aksie om RTU karkas evaluasie na Suid-Afrika te bring in Sedertdien is sowat 1460 beeste geskandeer vir karkas-evaluasie deur Mequatling Angus. Mequatling is verantwoordelik vir 46.2% van al SA Angus skandering die afgelope 10 jaar. Mequatling toets al die veilingsbulle met die Mequatling fase-d groeitoets hierdie jaarlikse toets is die grootse amptelike Angus groeitoets in die land en 1020 bulle het die Mequatling groeitoets voltooi die afgelope 10 jaar (verantwoordelik vir 20.7% van al die SA Angus bulle getoets). Vanaf die 2006 veiling, het Mequatling kliënte bygestaan deur alle veilingsbulle te meet vir raamgrootte om sodoende kopers te help in besluitneming. Mequatling bevestig die ouerskap van alle teeldiere deur midel van dns (sonder hierdie bevestiging, is stambome en teelwardes dikwels waardeloos). Sowat 2134 Mequatling dns rekords is geliasseer by Clinomics, 68.8% van alle Angus dns profiele op rekord by Clinomics. Mequatling het sy 1 ste genomiese karkasevaluasie vanaf Genestar ontvang in Mequatling is tans verantwoordelik vir 88.9% van alle Angus Genomiese data geliasseer by SA Stamboek. Mequatling het een van die mees intense Kunsmatige Inseminerings-programme in die SA Angus bedryf wat dien as die primêre Mequatling genetiese versneller 80.0% van die kudde word ge-ki met natuurlike hitte-waarneming met 83.7% van hierdie vroulike diere KI-dragtig bevestig. Ons embrioprogram is die enjinkamer van Mequatling genetiese versnelling: die 79 Mequatling skenkerkoeie gespoel deur Dr Robert Treadwell die afgelope 11 jaar, het n gemiddeld van 13.8 lewensvatbare embrio s per spoeling gelewer, met n 71.4% gemiddeld dragtigigheidsyfer bevestig. 103 Mequatling embrio-ontvangers is in kalf, met kalfdatum Lente Daar is verskeie baie spesiale skenker-moontlikhede ingesluit in hiedie jaar se veilingsaanbieding, insluitend 5 beproefde skenkers. 30 embrio geteelde seuns/ dogters word aangebied tydens die 2018 Mequatling Genetiese Versnellingsveiling. By Mequatling probeer ons ons uiterste bes om beeste te produseer wat absoluut uitblink in reproduksie, melk en groei sowel as karkas kwaliteit, alles gekombineer in n aantreklike pakket. Ons glo dat prestasiedata die beeste moet rugsteun en nie net opinies nie. Hierdie prestasie doelgerigtheid bly steeds ons primêre fokus. Soos altyd, verkoop ons elke dragtige 6-jaar oud vroulike dier geen uitsondering nie! Hierdie is n groep kragtige koeie wat geweldig funksioneel is die gemiddelde reproduksie-indeks vir die koeie te koop vandag is n indrukwekkende 120. (Belangriker, die laagste reproduksie-indeks op die veiling is n uitstaande 117 indeks). Ons vier die 2018 Mequatling Angus Genetiese Versnellingsveiling deur 2 swaar dragtige embrio-ontvangers aan te bied sowel as 20 gevriesde graad-1 embrio s vanuit dié top skenkerkoeie. Die seleksie van bulle gaan voort om bulle met uitstekende Butt, Body & Balance te voorsien. Alle bulle het op Suid-Afrika se grootste groeitoets en karkasskandering presteer. Die seleksieproses was weereens baie streng en slegs die top 34% van bulle gebore in 2016 word vandag verkoop. 3

19 (Red gene carrier) The Black Angus cows carrying the red-gene can be used both by Red Angus breeders and by Black Angus breeders: If they are mated to a black bull (that doesn t carry the red gene) then 100% of the progeny will be black. If these cattle are mated to a Red Angus bull, then the progeny will be Red on half the occasions and Black the other half, on average. As the Red gene is a non-diluter gene, there is no occurrence of off-colours i.e., the progeny are either totally black or totally red. You decide. These Red gene carrier cattle offer an exciting opportunity to bring new and exciting genetics into the other colour code. 19
