Pasture to Plate™

The ABS definition of a productive & profitable cow and our criteria for the sires it takes to produce them.

1.She’s more than just a pretty pictureObjective real world results and producer profitability are what matters.

2.Documented maternal performance is a mustAt ABS, we think $W is vitally important, and it has been a key part of our selection criteria for years. A current main list sire sort shows 39 ABS Angus bulls with $W values of $35.00 or higher and 8 of the 15 bulls that exceed +40.00 for both $W and $B are ABS sires.

3.Different environments require different cowsMaximum output isn’t always better—inputs count. ABS strives to provide bulls with strong maternal traits, but a range of $EN levels to fit varying environments. 24 sires in our Spring 2011 Sire Directory rank in the top 35% of the breed for $EN—more than any of our A.I. stud competitors.

4.She won’t eat you out of house and homeABS is committed to gathering progeny feed efficiency data through our exclusive Angus Sire Alliance program. With more than 10 years of individual intake data and the industry’s only feed efficiency index and EPDs, bulls like ALLIANCE I87, FORESIGHT, NEW DESIGN 878 and LEAD ON offer outstanding maternal traits with documented feed efficiency.

5.Direct and maternal calving ease aren’t luxuriesWe don’t like our cows so much that we want to spend the entire calving season with them. You don’t have to trade calving ease to get maternal value.

6.Disposition is a valuable maternal traitABS has published Docility EPDs in our sire directory since 2008 and is the only stud to do so. Besides the breed’s #1 sire for Docility, ABS offers 31 sires that rank in the top 25% for DOC.

7.Fertility may be lowly heritable, but it is highly importantWe have also published Heifer Pregnancy EPDs on our bulls since their inception and are actively gathering data on both heifer pregnancy and stayability through the Angus Sire Alliance to bring you more fertile, longer lasting females.

8.Soundness & udder quality are important quantifiable traitsABS exclusive GTS (Genetic Type Summary) program provides the only objective, data driven type trait evaluation in the industry. We love a great daughter or dam photo, but objectively measuring a bull’s progeny tells the whole story. Look to ABS for bulls that will improve capacity, structural soundness and teat and udder quality.

9.Cross breeding is a powerful maternal toolThe benefits of heterosis are especially valuable on the maternal side of the equation for important but lowly heritable traits like fertility and longevity. Numerous studies show a significant lifetime productivity benefit of up to 25% for cross bred cows. ABS is committed to providing the right bulls and the right breeds for optimal structured cross breeding programs.

10.Her genetic ability must extend and excel beyond the ranchHer first job is to produce a calf that keeps her owner in business for the long haul. However, her progeny also must ultimately perform in the feedlot and meet consumer demands for quality and consistency. That’s why we ask that our maternal bulls also excel for performance, carcass merit and $Beef Value. Adding value for the rancher and the industry is what we mean by “Pasture to Plate”.

Pasture to Plate™

1.Real World data and objective resultsObjective results and producer profitability are what matters throughout the beef chain.

2.Synchronization and A.I. add pounds and consistencyToday’s timed A.I. programs are reliable and can be done on a turn key basis. They allow every cow a chance to conceive on day one of the breeding season resulting in older, heavier calves of like genetics at weaning time. Your ABS Representative can provide expert full service programs to meet your needs.

3.Performance pays the billsWhether you sell at weaning, background or retain ownership, pounds remain the key economic driver in this industry and growth at the right time is critical to profitability.

4.Efficiency enhances profitThrough the Angus Sire Alliance, ABS has been gathering actual progeny intake and efficiency data on our bulls since 1997. Our feed efficiency index is an industry exclusive designed to give you the best description of how our sires’ combination of growth and intake genetics will impact your bottom line.

5.Actual harvest data tells the storyMore so than indicator traits or DNA markers, actual harvest data best describes the ultimate value of ABS sired progeny to the beef industry. ABS is the # 1 user of the American Simmental Association’s carcass merit program and our exclusive Angus Sire Alliance testing program has generated more sire identified carcass data than any other program in the industry over the last fifteen years.

6.Both quality and yield are importantWhile different grids and programs offer varying premiums, cattle that marble and yield provide the most market opportunity and flexibility. ABS advocates the value of Real World proven bulls and the breed complementarity that is available through cross breeding to hit the quality and yield targets on a consistent basis.

7.Tenderness enhances qualityTo further enhance quality, ABS has been shear testing progeny of our sires through the Angus Sire Alliance since 2005. Bulls with the “Proven Tender” logo have been bench marked to sire calves that fall in the “guaranteed tender” range.

8.Documentation adds valueCattle with proven genetics, known health protocols and documented age and source typically bring more than their non-documented counterparts. The ABS age & source verification program was approved by USDA in 2006 and continues to grow at a rapid rate. ABS customers have used the program to enhance market access and prices on more than 300,000 cattle since the program’s inception.

9.Let premium buyers know about your premium cattle Little is gained if your premium cattle aren’t exposed to premium buyers. ABS Marketing Specialists can assist in exposing your feeder cattle to 120+ quality oriented feedlots.

✔ Complete performance data from birth to harvest including:

• Calving Ease

• Pre-weaning performance

• Feedlot gain and intake

• Carcass yield and quality

✔✔Derived from large commercial contemporary groups

✔✔The first modern beef selection index in 1996 and still the most comprehensive

Tenderness✔ The first & only Shear Force EPDs in the Angus breed

✔ EPDs are expressed in pounds with lower numbers indicating increased tenderness

✔ Research indicates that shear force measurements less than 3.00 kg can be classified in a “Guaranteed Tender” range based on taste panel results

✔ Bulls with the “Proven Tender” logo have been bench marked to produce progeny in the “Guaranteed Tender” range through the Angus Sire Alliance program

Top 25 Sires for Feed Efficiency

feed Efficiency ✔ The Feed Efficiency Index identifies the most profitable combinations of intake and gain

✔ Backed by 13 years of individual progeny intake data

✔ Feed efficiency genetics can account for as much as $40 value difference per calf

2010 Feed efficiency Data The graph to the left shows the intake and gain data for the ABS bulls that have been evaluated through the Angus Sire Alliance for feed efficiency. This chart includes only the data on ABS bulls and represents just a portion of the entire database. Each dot charac-terizes one bull’s combined genetic value for gain and intake. The Red line represents an index value of +$0.00 with bulls above and to the right of the line having positive feed efficiency indexes with a more profitable combination of enhanced gain and lower intake genetics. Increased distance from the line indicates larger profit differentials.

¸ Enhanced Profitability due to the benefits of A.I. and synchronization

¸ Heavier Calves due to improved genetics and the fact calves are up to 9 days older than non-synchronized groups

¸ Better Calves due to proven and targeted genetics that deliver improved calving ease, growth, maternal and carcass traits

¸ More Calves due to increased calving ease, better breed back and more chances due to increased heat cycles in a defined period to become pregnant

¸ Increased Uniformity due to less genetic and age variation

¸ Increased Flexibility due to the ability to use specific sires that will improve certain traits or allow for a systematic planned crossbreeding program

¸ Permanent and Additive Results due to the genetics that become part of your cowherd, they are one input that continues to pay dividends long term

¸ Proven Genetics for calving ease, growth, maternal ability and carcass traits

¸ Profit due to increased reproductive performance

A.I. Cost Analysis with Varying Estrus Response and Pregnancy Rates

Page 109: Absspring2011beefsiredirectory

50-60%PregnantDayOne• With timed A.I., every animal gets a chance to become pregnant day one of the breeding season• 75-85% of your calves born in the first 25 days (timed A.I. plus a heat cycle)• Extremely comparable results to heat detection from a total A.I. pregnancy standpoint

TighterCalvingInterval• More calves born early means more money – every day earlier a calf is born in the season is an additional $1.97• Cows and heifers that calve earlier will breed back earlier increasing the chance they stay in the herd

LessLabor• No or less heat detection – use of mass insemination in A.I. programs is beneficial to increase submission (A.I. service) rate• Efficient use of labor resources during breeding and calving

LessStress• Schedule your labor• Reduced overall cattle handling• Tighter calving season – synchronized cows will calve in about 20 days• Less wear and tear on people and facilities

ABS Can Help You Connect with theVALUE-ADDED Marketplace

“ There is a $20-$25/cwt spread in price among same-weight calves, sold at the same time, in the same area. We see this in the market every day.” -Randy Blach, CEO, Cattle-Fax

"In my experience as a producer and cattle feeder, I’ve found that high quality feeder cattle are worth more because they grow faster, are more efficient, and produce a higher value carcass. I’ve also learned that high quality cattle will top the market only if they are presented to the right buyers. I started Big Blue Sale Barn to help give producers a more competitive marketing platform which allows them to have more control over their livestock sales.” -Jim Barta, Owner, Barta Cattle Company and Big Blue Sale Barn

“ Our feedlot and packer customers are very demanding, but also very consistent. They all want more of the good ones, all the time. We work with ABS to create the good ones and to give our customers a chance to bid on them.” -Jason Anderson, Power Genetics
