4 Welcome to Bald Blair This is our 45th Annual on Property Bull Sale at Bald Blair. On behalf of my family and the team at Bald Blair, I would like to welcome those returning to Bald Blair and those visiting for the first time. This year we will have on offer 80 Angus Bulls including 70 Rising Two Year Old Bulls, and 10 Yearling Angus Bulls. We are proud of this year s draft of bulls which have grown out. This year we have two year old sons of : Sydgen Black Pearl (2 Year Old and Yearling Bulls), VAR Reserve 1111, Werner Westwood, GAR Prophet (Yearling Bulls Only), Coneally Comrade, Ayrvale General G18, Bald Blair David G105, SAV Thunderbird 9061, Bald Blair Right Answer J94, Ayrvale Bartel E7. The Bald Blair Angus Herd Bald Blair remains a Seed Stock Herd backed by its own Commercial Herd. The commercial herd remains the proving ground for bulls from our seed stock operation. Commercially we remain strongly focused on the Japanese long fed market and the EU grain fed market supplying Rangers Valley Feedlot; and also on breeding our own replacement females. This continues today with our breeding objectives still focused on: Fertility Calving Ease Growth Carcase Data, (EMA and IMF in particular) Structure, and also Genetic Diversity The EBV s in this catalogue are Genomically (Zoetis HD50K) enhanced. This does not take away from the fact that all additional recording of traits that make up our EBV s continues, and remains just as important. We have a strong commitment to complete herd recording and analysis. Our whole herd is now analysed on the basis of genomically enhance EBV s. The additional benefits of this analysis include parent verification and the accurate recording of unfavourable recessive genetic conditions of AM, NH, CA and DD. As has been our practice in the past we continue to remain vigilant in the testing for the unfavourable recessives of AM, NH, CA and more recently DD. There will be some DD Carrier sons on offer in this year s catalogue. It is our intention to manage the eventual removal of those DD carrier animals over the next few years, just as we have done with AM, NH and CA. We have not at this time identified any calves with Developmental Duplication. We have already removed the DDA animals (those animals that are affected but with no external symptons) from our herd. On Farm Biosecurity Plan Bald Blair has completed its own On-Farm Biosecurity Plan dated 15/06/2107, in consultation with Dr Leisa Brown, Guyra District Veterinary Services. It remains our intent under this plan to continue the ongoing testing of the herd to ensure there is no Johnes Disease in this herd, as we have done in the past under the NJDMAP MN3. We will provide a National Cattle Health Statement Declaration with this year s sale team. Bald Blair will be at J-BAS 8. Sam White Page 2

BUYERS INSTRUCTION INFORMATION Buyers, please ensure that the Buyer Instruction Information sheet on the last page of the catalogue is completed in full to avoid any errors with your delivery instructions. REFRESHMENTS Morning tea will be available from 9.30am prior to 10am inspection. Lunch is provided and will be available from 12 noon, sale commences at 1pm. DISCLAIMER Every care has been taken in the compilation of this catalogue to ensure the accuracy of information supplied. However, no responsibility will be accepted for any errors which may have occurred. ANGUS ASSURED CATALOGUE Cattle producers using Angus Bulls are making more money than those who don t. But that doesn t apply to just any Angus bull. Don t be caught with UNREGISTERED bulls with unknown backgrounds and without Angus Group Breedplan figures. Progeny of unregistered bulls are INELIGIBLE FOR CAABTM and ASSURED ANGUSTM tags. As a service to bull buyers, the Angus Society has introduced a Quality Assured catalogue giving buyers confidence the bulls are registered and the catalogue truly reflects official data.look for catalogues carrying this logo and become part of the Angus profit system.

6 Animal Health Information BULL BREEDING SOUNDNESS EXAMINATION All two year old bulls offered have undergone reproductive physical examination and a semen test. The semen test involved Crush Side Examination for Motility and Specialist Laboratory Examination for Morphology as prescribed by the Australian Cattle Veterinarians Association. The results are printed in the catalogue. All bulls have received a physical examination and semen test. At the time of printing of this catalogue they had not completed these tests, the results will be available on a supplementary sheet on sale day. BULL STRUCTURAL ASSESSMENT An independent structural assessment has been done on our sale draft and our females. This service is provided by Dick Whale, Independent Breeding Services. VACCINATION AND DRENCH REGIME All Bulls have received Cydectin Pour On (Worms), Flukizole C (Fluke), 7n1 Vaccine (Leptospirosis) and Vibriovax (Vibriosis) and Pestigard Vaccine (Pestivirus); plus they have all received there boosters vaccinations. We continue to sample our herd for the incidence of Pestivirus exposure, and have undertaken whole herd vaccination with Pestigard on the property Bald Blair to eradicate it from our herd. All Two Year Old and Yearling Bulls, have been tested for the presence of pestivirus, and found to be negative. You can also be comfortable that we have complete herd vaccination program in place. All animals have received a vaccination of the Pestigard vaccine plus a booster vaccination. As with all vaccination programs, for example Lepto and Vibrio it remains the purchaser s responsibility to maintain an annual booster program. GENETIC DEFECT ANALYSIS AND MANAGMENT Arthorgryposis Multiplex (AM) or Curly Calf; All AM carrier animals are removed from the seedstock herd. There will be no AM carrier bulls offered for sale. Sale Bulls are denoted AMF or AMFU (i.e. from non-offending pedigrees). We do not use AM carrier bulls in our program. Neuropathic Hydrocephalus (NH). All NH carrier animals are removed from the seedstock herd. There will be no NH carrier bulls offered for sale. Sale Bulls are denoted NHF or NHFU (i.e. from non-offending pedigrees). We do not use NH carrier bulls in our program. Contractural Arachnodactyly (CA; otherwise know as fawn calf ). All CA carrier animals are removed from the seedstock herd. There will be no CA carrier bulls offered for sale. Sale Bulls are denoted CAF or CAFU (i.e. from non-offeding pedigrees). We do not use CA carrier bulls in our program. Developmental Duplication (DD). In August 2013 this recessive genetic disorder was identified in the breed. It can present with calves being born with extra limbs should recessives meet. In managing this recessive gene, we have to date tested all offending pedigrees in our seed stock herds active breeding females. We have actively used DDF or DDFU sires in the Stud, since it was first identified in 2013, and we will continue to do so. While we have used DD carrier bulls in our own commercial herd, we do so cautiously, these carrier bulls can be used if your herd is not full of Dams that carry the recessive gene. Remember, as with all recessives, affected calves will only present on 25% of the time when a DDC sire is mated to a DDC dam, and only a portion of those may present with extra limbs. We have not identified any symptomatic DD affected calves in our herd to this time. There will be on offer a few sires in this year s sale that are DD Carriers, they will be denoted DDC. Page 4

8 Recessive Genetic Conditions RECESSIVE GENETIC CONDITIONS INFORMATION FOR BULL BUYERS This is information for bull buyers about the recessive genetic conditions, Arthrogryposis Multiplex (AM), Hydrocephalus (NH), Contractural Arachnodactyly (CA) and Developmental Duplications (DD). Putting undesirable Genetic Recessive Conditions in perspective All animals, including humans, carry single copies (alleles) of undesirable or broken genes. In single copy form, these undesirable alleles usually cause no harm to the individual. But when animals carry 2 copies of certain undesirable or broken alleles it often results in bad consequences. Advances in genomics have facilitated the development of accurate diagnostic tests to enable the identification and management of numerous undesirable or broken genes. Angus Australia is proactive in providing its members and their clients with relevant tools and information to assist them in the management of known undesirable genes and our members are leading the industry in their use of this technology. Key point: With today s DNA tools undesirable genetic conditions can be managed! What are AM, NH, CA and DD? AM, NH, CA and DD are all recessive conditions caused by broken alleles within the DNA of individual animals. When a calf inherits 2 copies of the AM or NH alleles their development is so adversely affected that they will be still-born. In other cases, such as CA and DD, calves carrying 2 copies of the broken allele may reach full-term. In such cases the animal may either appear relatively normal, or show physical symptoms that affect their health and/or performance. Key point: The number of reported observations of AM, NH, CA and DD calves is very low and there is certainly no need for panic. How are the conditions inherited? Research in the U.S. and Australia indicates that AM, NH, CA and DD are simply inherited recessive conditions. This means that a single gene (or pair of alleles) controls the condition. For this mode of inheritance two copies of the undesirable allele need to be present before the condition is seen; in which case you may get an abnormal calf. A more common example of a trait with a simple recessive pattern of inheritance is black and red coat colour. Animals with only one copy of the undesirable allele (and one copy of the normal form of the allele) appear normal and are known as carriers. What happens when carriers are mated to other animals? Carriers, will on average, pass the undesirable allele to a random half (50 %) of their progeny. When a carrier bull and carrier cow is mated, there is a 25% chance that the resultant calf will inherit two normal alleles, a 50% chance that the mating will result in a carrier (i.e. with just 1 copy of the undesirable allele, and a 25% chance that the calf will inherit two copies of the undesirable gene. Page 6

9 Recessive Genetic Conditions If animals tested free of the undesirable gene are mated to carrier animals the condition will not be expressed at all. All calves will appear normal, but approximately half (50%) could be expected to be carriers. Key point: For the condition to be expressed the undesirable gene needs to be present on both sides of the pedigree and both the sire and dam need to be a carrier. How is the genetic status of animals reported? DNA-based diagnostic tests have been developed which can be used to determine whether an individual animal is either a carrier or free of the alleles resulting in AM, NH, CA or DD. Angus Australia uses advanced software to calculate the probability of (untested) animals to being carriers of AM, NH, CA or DD. The software uses the test results of any relatives in the calculations and the probabilities may change as new results for additional animals become available. The genetic status of animals is being reported using five categories: AMF AMFU AM % Tested AM free Based on pedigree AM free Animal has not been tested % probability the animal is an AM carrier AMC Tested AM-Carrier AMA AM-Affected For NH, CA and DD, simply replace AM in the above table with NH, CA or DD. Registration certificates and the Angus Australia web-database display these codes. This information is displayed on the animal details page and can be accessed by conducting an Animal Search from the Angus Australia website or looking up individual animals listed in a sale catalogue. Key point: The genetic status of an animal is subject to change and will be re- analysed and adjusted each week as DNA test results of relatives are received. Implications for Commercial Producers Your decision on the importance of the genetic condition status of replacement bulls should depend on the genetics of your cow herd (which bulls you previously used) and whether some female progeny will be retained or sold as breeders. Most Angus breeders are proactive and transparent in managing known genetic conditions, endeavouring to provide the best information available. The greatest risk to the commercial sector from undesirable genetic recessive conditions comes from unregistered bulls with unknown genetic background. The genetic condition testing that Angus Australia seedstock producers are investing in provides buyers of registered Angus bulls with unmatched quality assurance.

10 Understanding EBVs Understanding Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) are predictions of an animal s genetic merit, based on available performance data on the individual and its relatives. EBVs are expressed in the units of measurement for each particular trait. They are shown as +ive or -ive differences from the breed base. As the breed base is set to a historical benchmark, the average EBVs of animals in each year drop has changed over time as a result of genetic change within the breed. The current breed averages are shown below. These averages provide a useful benchmark for comparing EBVs for animals.

Higher, more +ive, Calving Ease (DIR) EBVs are more favourable. Calving Ease (DTRS): estimates of genetic differences among animals in the ability of their 2 year old daughters to calve without assistance. Higher, more +ive, Calving Ease (DTRS) EBVs are more favourable. Gestation Length: estimate of genetic differences among animals in the number of days from the date of conception until the calf birth date. Lower, or more -ive, Gestation Length EBVs are generally more favourable. Birth Wt: estimate of genetic differences between animals in kg of calf birth weight. Calf birth weight is the biggest contributing factor causing calving difficulty in heifers. While low Birth Wt EBVs are favoured for calving ease they are also often associated with lower growth potential. Small, or moderate, Birth Wt EBVs are more favourable. FERTILITY TRAITS Days to Calving (DC): estimate of genetic differences among in female fertility, expressed as the number of days from the start of the joining period until subsequent calving. Females with shorter DC EBVs tend to commence cycling earlier after calving and conceive earlier in the joining period. They also tend to attain puberty at a younger age as heifers. Lower, or more -ive, Days to Calving EBVs are more favourable. Scrotal Size: estimate of the genetic differences among animals in scrotal circumference at 400 days of age. Increased scrotal size is associated with increased semen production in bulls, and earlier age at puberty of bull and heifer progeny. Larger, or more +ive, Scrotal Size EBVs are more favourable. GROWTH TRAITS 200-Day Wt: estimate of the genetic differences among animals in weight at 200 days of age. This is a measure of an animal s early growth to weaning. It is an important trait for breeders turning off animals as vealers or weaners. 400-Day Wt: estimate of the genetic differences among animals in weight at 400 days of age. This is an important trait for breeders turning off animals as yearlings. 600-Day Wt: estimate of the genetic differences among animals in live-weight at 600 days of age. This is an important trait for breeders targeting the production of animals suited for heavy weight grass finished or grain fed market MATERNAL TRAITS Milk: estimate of the genetic differences among animals in milk production potential, expressed through variation in calf growth performance. Larger, more +ive, or moderate, Milk EBVs can be more favourable, depending on the environment. Mature Cow Wt: estimate of the genetic differences among animals in cow weight at 5 years of age.

11 Understanding EBVs CARCASE TRAITS Carcase Wt: estimate of the genetic differences among animals in hot standard carcase weight at 750 days of age. Larger, more +ive, Carcase Weight EBVs are more favourable. EMA: estimate of the genetic differences among animals in eye muscle area (cm2) at the 12/13th rib site on a 400kg carcase. Larger, more +ive, EMA EBVs are generally more favourable. Rib Fat: estimate of the genetic differences among animals in fat depth (mm) at the 12/13th rib site, measures on a 400kg carcase. More positive (+ive), or more negative (-ive), Rib Fat EBVs may be more favourable, depending on your breeding goals. Rump Fat: estimate of genetic differences among animals in fat depth at the P8 rump site on a standard 400kg carcase. More positive (+ive), or more negative (-ive), Rib Fat EBVs may be more favourable, depending on your breeding goals. IMF%: estimate of genetic differences among animals in percentage intra-muscular fat (marbling) in a 400kg carcase. EFFICIENCY TRAITS Net Feed Intake (NFI): estimate of the genetic differences between animals in efficiency. NFI is measured either post weaning (NFI-P), in young bulls and heifers, fed at around 300 days of age, or in steers fed at around 560 days of age (NFI- F). Lower, more negative ( ive) NFI EBVs are more favourable. TEMPERAMENT TRAITS Docility: estimate of genetic differences between animals in temperament. Docility EBVs are expressed as differences in the percentage of progeny that will be scored with acceptable temperament (ie. either "docile" or "restless"). Higher Docility EBVs are more favourable. $INDEX VALUES Angus Breeding: estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow, joined in a typical commercial self-replacing herd using Angus bulls. This selection index is not specific to a particular production system or market end-point, but identifies animals that will improve overall profitability in the majority of commercial grass and grain finishing beef production systems. The index is particularly suited to commercial producers who sell progeny into different markets, or to seedstock producers supplying bulls to commercial clients who produce for a range of different production systems and market end points. Domestic: estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a commercial selfreplacing herd targeting the domestic supermarket trade, with progeny finished using either grass, grass supplemented by grain or grain finishing systems. Heavy Grain: estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a commercial selfreplacing herd targeting pasture grown steers with a 200 day feedlot finishing period for the grain fed high quality, highly marbled markets. Heavy Grass: estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined in a commercial selfreplacing herd targeting pasture finished heavy steers. TRAITS OBSERVED Indicates the traits that have been recorded for a particular animal and are contributing to the EBVs that have been calculated. These will appear directly below the table displaying the animals EBVs. UNDERSTANDING ACCURACIES The accuracy associated with an EBV gives an indication of its reliability, and the likely extent of its possible change as more information becomes available. As more data becomes available on animals (or its progeny, or relatives) then the accuracy of its EBVs for particular traits will increase. Accuracies are influenced by the heritability of traits and the genetic associations existing between them. For lowly heritable traits, more information is required to achieve a similar accuracy to that of highly heritable traits. Accuracies are expressed as percentages. The higher the percentage, the greater the chance that the EBV is a close estimate of the animal s true genetic merit, and the less likelihood that the EBV will change as more information becomes available.

47 Caring for your New Bull Bringing your new bull home: All Bulls at Bald Blair have been run as part of large groups until 12 weeks prior to sale, then put into smaller groups in the lead up to the sale. It is important to remember this when you get your bull or bulls home. All bulls have been worked by horses, 4WD bikes, tray back utility and dogs, and have had people walking amongst them. Inspite of this they still need to be respected and treated appropriately. We recommend Insuring your bull prior to delivery to your property. Arrange appropriate transport for safe delivery of your bull to your property. When your bull gets home, treat him quietly and have a companion animal for him, either steers or cows. Leave them in the yards for a few days with feed and water until they are settled. All Bald Blair bulls have had their annual boosters for Pestigard, 7n1 and Lepto and Vibrio. Once settled then they can go out into a holding paddock; keep feeding them to help settle them in to your farm. Newly purchased young bulls should not be placed with older bulls upon return, or during mating. During Mating: Use them either in single sire mating groups or as a group with bulls the same age. Make sure you check out your young bulls, in fact all your bulls, during mating regularly. Spend time watching them, watch for lameness and injury around or near the sheath. If using them in single sire mating groups consider rotating them around groups to cover for bull infertility. Have a spare bull on hand to replace any bulls that may be injured during mating. Replace bulls immediately if you suspect anything. For more information I recommend the Angus Society of Australia brochure Bring your New Bull Home Article, which has been the reference for this article. Finally, keep in touch and let me know how your bull or bulls are performing. Thankyou for your support. Page 45
