42 Benefits of A. I. in the Suckler Herd 1. It allows you to utilize superior genetics 2. It allows you to select sires for individual cows Most of the herds are made up of many different types of cows 3. You can select sires using EBVs s with high 200 day growth are suitable for farmers selling weanlings s with high 400 day growth and muscling are suitable for beef finishers s with high 200 day milk value are suitable for breeding replacements 4. ing and progeny details available All the bulls are scrutinized for calving difficulty and calf quality 5. A. I. allows you to alter genetics quickly Change from one breed to another - Charolais, Limousin, Angus or Salers without incurring additional costs. 6. A. I. has low capital investment A good (?) stock bull could cost anything between 2,000 10,000 After 30 months Cull Price Feeding, housing, fencing and high risk factor for you, children and the public 7. A. I. ensures semen quality 5 of all bulls are infertile at some time 30 have unsatisfactory semen quality 8. A. I. allows you to synchronize Shorter heat detection period Shorter calving period Even and heavier batch of calves to erase house market Fewer barren cows Better record keeping Getting the Best from A. I. Heat detection rates in the United Kingdom average about 55. Improvements are gained by taking more time, i.e. 20-30 minutes on each occasion, and by more early morning and late night inspections. Although average heats last 12-15 hours, 25-30 of cows have heats of less than 6 hours. Prevent cows getting either too fat or too thin. Cows in condition score 2-3 (scale 1-5) are optimal. Thriving animals always do better. Avoid excessive weight loss around the time of service. Treat lame animals promptly. Breeding cows within 50 days of calving tends to give poor results. Never breed any cow with a dirty vaginal discharge or evidence of whites. Keep complete records of all cows that come into heat and use them to anticipate returns. Where cows are not coming into heat have your vet examine and treat them. A cow standing firm to be mounted is the best sign of heat, but remember 6-8 of pregnant animals will occasionally stand too!

BLUP Figures the numbers explained Obtaining a bull with the right genetics can have a major impact on herd profitability. Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) are measurements of genetic potential, which can be used to assess a bull s breeding merit for a specific trait. EBVs are expressed in the same units as the traits they represent and are expressed relatie to a common baselie. Comparisons can be made using EBVs between bulls of the same breed, but not different breeds. A bull s EBVs must be halved to estimate how much of his genetic superiority will be pased on to his progeny. So a bull with a 400 Weight EBV of +40kg will produce calves 20 kg heavier at 400 days of age than a bull with an EBV of 0. Accuracy Values are produced for each EBV. Accuracy is expressed as a percentage and indicates the amount of data used to calculate the EBV. The higher the Accuracy Value, the lower the chances of the EBV changing over time as new data becomes available. EBV Interpretation Notes Birth Weight ing Maternal ing Gestation Length ing Value 200 Milk Age at 1st ing Life Span ing Interval Maternal Production Value Maternal Value Negative values = Lighter calves at birth Positive values = More unassisted calvings Positive values = More unassisted calvings Negative values = Shorter gestations Higher values = More profitable Positive values = More productive female replacements Negative values = Puberty reached at an early age Positive values = Longer breeding life Negative values = Cows that get back in calf more quickly Higher values = More profitable Higher values = More profitable 200 Growth 400 Growth Positive values = Faster growth rates Muscle Depth Positive values = Deeper loin muscle Fat Depth Negative values = Leaner carcases Value Higher values = More profitable Enables sire to be selected to produce smaller calves at birth, reducing calving difficulties Identifies sires whose calves will tend to be born without assistance Identifies females that will calve more easily. Should not be confused with ing Direct (see above) Shorter gestation lengths tend to result in easier calvings, because birth weights tend to be lower The economic value of an animal in terms of gestation length and difficult calvings Indicates female breeding lines that produce more milk and so wean heavier calves Herds looking to calve heifers at two years of age should identify bulls with superior (negative) EBVs for this trait. This will increase conception rates at first mating. Predicts the length of an animal s breeding life in the herd This EBV can be used to breed cows with short calving intervals that get in calf again quickly The economic value of an animal s ability to produce breeding females and males for finishing The economic value of an animal s genetic ability to produce breeding females Selection for faster growth will result in animals that have heavier carcases at a constant fat class or leaner carcases at a constant age Selecting for this trait will increase the yield of lean meat in the carcase Indicates animals capable of producing lean carcases, which can be taken to heavier weights without becoming overfat The economic value of an animal in terms of the financial merit of its offsprings carcases 44

BREEDPLAN the numbers explained BREEDPLAN is a modern genetic evaluation system for beef cattle. It offers the potential to accelerate genetic improvement in your herd, tighten up breeding operations, improve productivity and increase prices of cattle sold for both breeding and slaughter. At the time of printing this catalogue, the Aberdeen Angus, Simmental, Shorthorn, British Blue and Hereford breeds are using this system. CALVING EASE ing EBVs are based on calving difficulty scores, birth weights and gestation length information. More positive EBVs are favourable and indicate easier calving. DIRECT calving ease indicates how this animal influences the birth of his progeny. DAUGHTERS calving ease indicates how well the animal produces daughters that have easier calving. BIRTH GL: Gestation length EBV (days) is based on AI records. Lower (negative) GL EBVs indicate shorter gestation lengths which generally relate to easier calving and increased growth after birth. BWT: Birth Weight EBV (kg) is based on the measured birth weight of animals, adjusted for damage. The lower the value the lighter the calf at birth and the less is the likelihood of a difficult birth. This is particularly important when selecting sires for use on heifers. GROWTH MILK: 200 Milk EBV (kg) is an estimate of an animal s milking ability. For sires, this EBV is indicative of their daughters milking ability as it affects the 200 Weight of their calves. 200: 200 Growth EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of animals taken between 80 and 300 days of age. Values are adjusted to 200 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal s genetic merit for growth to early ages. 400: 400 Weight EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 301 and 500 days of age, adjusted to 400 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal s genetic merit for yearling weight. 600: 600 Weight EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 501 and 900 days of age, adjusted to 600 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal s genetic merit for growth beyond yearling age. CARCASE CWT: Carcass Weight EBV (kg) is an estimate of the genetic difference in Carcass weight at a standard age of 650 days. EMA: Eye Muscle Area EBV (cm2) estimates genetic differences in eye muscle area of a 300 kg dressed Carcass. More positive EBVs indicate better muscling on animals. RIB: Rib Fat EBV (mm) estimates the genetic differences in fat depth at the rib in a 300 kg dressed Carcass. More positive EBVs indicate more subcutaneous fat and earlier maturity. RBY: Retail Yield Percent EBV () represents total (boned out) meat yield as a percentage of a 300 kg dressed Carcass. A more positive EBV indicates higher percentage yield for the 300 kg Carcass size. TERMINAL SIRE INDEX This index ranks bulls by their genetic potential for the production of prime steers and heifers for beef production. Growth and Carcass EBVs are the main drivers used in compiling this index, with considerable emphasis on calving ease direct. Typical production parameters, prices and costs underlie this selection index. Bulls with a higher Terminal will have a greater genetic potential to sire heavier finished progeny. As there are no maternal traits included in the calculation of the Terminal, bulls with a high will not necessarily be suitable for breeding heifer replacements. SELF REPLACING INDEX This index is also focused on ing, Retail Yield and Growth (as animals are still being sold for slaughter), but includes maternal and fertility EBVs as well. The index is trying to balance the requirements for the cow herd with producing animals to market specifications. The Self Replacing is aimed at a herd selecting replacement females from within the herd while breeding steers and excess heifers to turn off to meet market specifications. There is emphasis on calving ease and maternal traits while also looking to finish animals for slaughter. 45
