Kidman Angus was established in 1994, with an invaluable prior background in seed stock production, it was a smoother transition than starting from scratch.Foundation bloodlines were sourced from Outwest, Calleen Dispersal, Ardrishaig, Caleula, Circle 8 and Roseville Park Stud herds. From the initial start the aim was to breed a more ‘modern day angus’, whilst still retaining the calving ease, fertility and maternal traits of the breed. Initially bulls were sold privately, with a team taken to the Midwest Angus Bull Sale. In 2007 a decision was made to include a draft of Angus bulls as part of the Annual Kidman Bull Sale. In January 2011 saw the Angus herd entrusted with Randall & Kylie who are hoping to continue the steady progress of the future herd.

BEEF CLASS STRUCTURAL ASSESSMENT SYSTEM

RECESSIVE GENE STATUS CATEGORIES

Beef Class Structural Assessment SystemStructural problems in cattle have a substantial effect on both the reproductive and growth performance of a beef herd. It is widely recognised that structural problems in sires have detrimental effects on conception rates, calving patterns and thus profitability. Similarly, females with inadequate structural characteristics are more prone to weaning lighter calves or conceiving later in the breeding season than their more functional counterparts. These structural problems are filtered through the supply chain resulting in reduced income for the producer, feedlot and thus reducing the overall productivity of the Australian Beef Industry.

The current trend for improving consistency and quality has shifted producers’ focus, towards selecting seedstock on carcass and growth genetic traits (EBVs). Whilst, this selection has been, and will continue to be pivotal in developing the Australian beef industry, we must not forget the fundamentals of livestock breeding.

The Beef Class Structural Assessment System was designed by the MLA, the BIA and several breed societies to address structural problems in the beef industry. Detailed analysis of three thousand genetically linked herds indicated that structural characteristics such as leg and foot structure were moderately to highly heritable. BEEFXCEL now services many seedstock operations in their selection and grading of stock using the Beef Class Structural Assessment System.

The 2007 ‘Wyuna’ Sale Bulls and heifer herd have been independently structurally assessed to maximise the quality of stock on offer. Any animals deemed inadequate have been removed from the sale draft. The 2008 ‘Wyuna’ sale animals were assessed by Liam Cardile of BEEFXCEL on 8 November 2007.

How to use The Beef Class Structural Assessment SystemThe Beef Class Structural Assessment System uses a 1-9 scoring system for feet and leg structure:

– A score of 5 is ideal. (Note: Temperament Score of 1 is preferable).

– A score of 4 or 6 shows slight variation from ideal, but this includes most animals. An animal scoring 4 or 6 would be acceptable in any breeding program.

– A score of 3 or 7 shows greater variation but would be acceptable in most commercial programs. However, seedstock producers should be vigilant and understand that this score indicates greater variation from ideal.

– A score of 2 or 8 are low scoring animals and should be looked closely before purchasing.

– A score of 1 or 9 should not be catalogued and are considered culls.

For More Information Please Visit the C2C webpage on www.c2cbeef.com.au or Call Jim Green on 0402 003 137 or Liam Cardile on 0409 572 570.

Group Breedplan EBVsEstimated Breeding Values (EBVs)The EBV is the best estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for that trait.

Calving EaseEBVs are based on calving ease (CE) scores, birth weights and gestation length information. More positive EBVs are favourable and indicate easier calving.

DIR Direct calving ease indicates how well the animal influences the birth of its progeny.

DTRS Daughter’s calving ease indicates how well the animal produces daughters that have easier calving.

BirthGL Gestation Length EBV (days) is based on AI records. Lower (negative) GL EBVs indicates easier calving and increased growth after birth.

BWT Birth Weight EBV (kg) is based on the measured birth weight of animals, adjusted for dam age. The lower the value the lighter the calf at birth and the lower the likelihood of a difficult birth. This is particularly important when selecting sires for use over heifers.

FertilitySS Scrotal Size EBV (cm) is an indicator of male fertility in regards to semen quality and quantity. Higher (positive) EVBs indicate higher fertility. SS is also

positively associated with female fertility.

DC Days to Calving EBV (days) is an indicator of female fertility based on the time between a cows first exposure to a bull and when she subsequently calves. Cows that calve late in the season or fail to calve are penalised. This is more useful as a sire trait. Lower (negative) EBVs are preferred indicating shorter days to calving for the sires daughters.

GrowthMilk 200-Day Milk EBV (kg) is an estimate of an animal’s milking ability. For sires, this EBV is indicative of their daughter’s milking ability as it affects the

200 day weight of their calves.

200W 200-Day 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.

BEEF CLASS STRUCTURAL ASSESSMENT SYSTEM

RECESSIVE GENE STATUS CATEGORIES

Beef Class Structural Assessment SystemStructural problems in cattle have a substantial effect on both the reproductive and growth performance of a beef herd. It is widely recognised that structural problems in sires have detrimental effects on conception rates, calving patterns and thus profitability. Similarly, females with inadequate structural characteristics are more prone to weaning lighter calves or conceiving later in the breeding season than their more functional counterparts. These structural problems are filtered through the supply chain resulting in reduced income for the producer, feedlot and thus reducing the overall productivity of the Australian Beef Industry.

The current trend for improving consistency and quality has shifted producers’ focus, towards selecting seedstock on carcass and growth genetic traits (EBVs). Whilst, this selection has been, and will continue to be pivotal in developing the Australian beef industry, we must not forget the fundamentals of livestock breeding.

The Beef Class Structural Assessment System was designed by the MLA, the BIA and several breed societies to address structural problems in the beef industry. Detailed analysis of three thousand genetically linked herds indicated that structural characteristics such as leg and foot structure were moderately to highly heritable. BEEFXCEL now services many seedstock operations in their selection and grading of stock using the Beef Class Structural Assessment System.

The 2007 ‘Wyuna’ Sale Bulls and heifer herd have been independently structurally assessed to maximise the quality of stock on offer. Any animals deemed inadequate have been removed from the sale draft. The 2008 ‘Wyuna’ sale animals were assessed by Liam Cardile of BEEFXCEL on 8 November 2007.

How to use The Beef Class Structural Assessment SystemThe Beef Class Structural Assessment System uses a 1-9 scoring system for feet and leg structure:

– A score of 5 is ideal. (Note: Temperament Score of 1 is preferable).

– A score of 4 or 6 shows slight variation from ideal, but this includes most animals. An animal scoring 4 or 6 would be acceptable in any breeding program.

– A score of 3 or 7 shows greater variation but would be acceptable in most commercial programs. However, seedstock producers should be vigilant and understand that this score indicates greater variation from ideal.

– A score of 2 or 8 are low scoring animals and should be looked closely before purchasing.

– A score of 1 or 9 should not be catalogued and are considered culls.

Group Breedplan EBVsEstimated Breeding Values (EBVs)The EBV is the best estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for that trait.

Calving EaseEBVs are based on calving ease (CE) scores, birth weights and gestation length information. More positive EBVs are favourable and indicate easier calving.

DIR Direct calving ease indicates how well the animal influences the birth of its progeny.

DTRS Daughter’s calving ease indicates how well the animal produces daughters that have easier calving.

BirthGL Gestation Length EBV (days) is based on AI records. Lower (negative) GL EBVs indicates easier calving and increased growth after birth.

BWT Birth Weight EBV (kg) is based on the measured birth weight of animals, adjusted for dam age. The lower the value the lighter the calf at birth and the lower the likelihood of a difficult birth. This is particularly important when selecting sires for use over heifers.

FertilitySS Scrotal Size EBV (cm) is an indicator of male fertility in regards to semen quality and quantity. Higher (positive) EVBs indicate higher fertility. SS is also

positively associated with female fertility.

DC Days to Calving EBV (days) is an indicator of female fertility based on the time between a cows first exposure to a bull and when she subsequently calves. Cows that calve late in the season or fail to calve are penalised. This is more useful as a sire trait. Lower (negative) EBVs are preferred indicating shorter days to calving for the sires daughters.

GrowthMilk 200-Day Milk EBV (kg) is an estimate of an animal’s milking ability. For sires, this EBV is indicative of their daughter’s milking ability as it affects the

200 day weight of their calves.

200W 200-Day 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.

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.

CALVING EASE TRAITS Calving Ease (DIR): estimate of genetic differences among animals in the ability of their calves from 2 year old heifers to be born unassisted. 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.
