A Piece of the Puzzle...The AMAA Foundationby John Boddicker, executive vice president
For those of you that may not know, approximately ten years ago, the American Maine-Anjou Association (AMAA), along with some generous donors began to accumulate funds; with the sole purpose of providing annual scholarships to our Maine-Anjou youth.
Since that humble beginning, that account has been able to provide two or three scholarship awards each year at the National Junior Maine-Anjou show banquet. I have no doubt that this small gift we were able to give to our youth has been some of the best investments we have ever made!
Past recipients of these scholarships have gone onto successful employment within the agricultural community, some still involved in the Maine-Anjou breed. It is time to move forward, expand our horizons and reach for a higher plateau of involvement.
What would be the expanded mission of the foundation?
First and foremost, we must continue to provide AMAA youth opportunities for personal growth and leadership within the Maine-Anjou breed and agricultural community.
Secondly, strive to expand educational avenues to better educate Maine-Anjou breeders and commercial producers alike to help secure a more profitable future.
Third, enhance our research abilities. Research activities are a vital part in advancing Maine-Anjou genetics within the beef industry.
Mr. Mark Core and Mr. Dale Phelps have generously agreed to help spearhead a renewed emphasis of growth for the AMAA foundation. There is no doubt that resources are needed in order to achieve future goals. I ask each one of you to consider
personal and financial resources to this lofty endeavor. Concerns for each donor in conjunction with the needs of the Maine-Anjou foundation will be paramount. It is important that everyone understand that their charitable generosity will greatly impact the three programs mentioned before.
Please watch for future updates on specifics regarding foundation programs and policies. Upcoming meetings will set solid guidelines and expectations for the foundation program.
Successes of our future will rely heavily on Maine-Anjou breeders from across the country and their commitment to the foundation. Thank you in advance for your interest and attention to future announcements.
Thank you to all who consigned and purchased

What a great year to be at the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) in Denver, Colo. For the fourth year in a row the weather was spectacular and set the tone for excited potential buyers. The Maine-Anjou breed always creates a “buzz” at the NWSS and this year was no exception.
Thirty four producers from ten states sold 69 1/2 bulls, 20 females, half of two pregnancies, two embryo lots and semen on two flush brothers out of GVC Statesman 4R and Boss Beauty 84M.

The bulls are weighed, ultrasounded for ribeye area and fat thickness, measured for scrotal circumference and weight per day of age is figured. This information is vital to all potential buyers and aids producers in selecting the right genetics for continued improvement in their breeding programs. Thursday, Jan. 13 each sale bull was evaluated by a panel of three judges that included Kent Jaecke and Donnie Robertson,

2010 Herdsman of the Year Brett Carter, Oklahoma, pictured with Director of Youth Activities, Kasey Herman.
Brett Carter of Bartlesville, Okla., was named the 2010 Maine-Anjou Herdsman of the Year during the selection of the grand champion female at the National Western Stock Show in Denver, Colo. Carter was nominated by fellow breeders and peers of the Maine-Anjou breed.
Carter’s love for the livestock industry is credited to his childhood of experiences exhibiting steer and heifer projects. The mid 90’s marked his family’s transformation from show steer production to the breeding of Maine-Anjou seedstock. “Because of
family members like my uncle, Jirl Buck, I was able to learn from many parts of the operation,” Carter said. “I am so grateful for the opporunity and experience.”During Carter’s college career, he spent many weekends commuting between Stillwater, Okla., where he attended Oklahoma State University and Buck Cattle
Co., in Madill, Okla. “I found myself on the ranch almost every weekend,” Carter said. “I was there every holiday break and summer. It was a great learning experience, to say the least.”
Carter graduated from OSU in 2003 with a degree in animal science. The summer following Carter’s graduation, he moved to Bartlesville, Okla. A lifelong friend, Dr. J. Butler, had just purchased a group of cows and needed someone to assist him with the organization of his new ranch and what would later become DJ’s Cattle Co. The summer in Bartlesville went from a temporary position to a way of life for Carter. The initial purchase of 40 commercial cows from Buck Cattle Co., got DJ’s started. Through dedication and devotion, the current DJ’s Cattle operation consists of more than 150 females.
“Whether it be marketing cattle or calving cows in the midst of winter, I am passionate about contributing to an industry I love so much,” Carter said. “I spend just as much time with the cows as I do with a pair of clippers in hand.”
Carter and his family value the opportunites associated with the showring. Since the inception of DJ’s Cattle, Carter has bred and shown many champions. Some of his career highlights include the 2006 National Western Stock Show Grand Champion MaineTainer Female, 2010 American Royal Grand Champion Maine-Anjou Female and most recently the 2011 Fort Worth Stock Show Grand Champion Maine-Anjou Female and Reserve Grand Champion MaineTainer Female, along with multiple state fair champions.
“This past show season is more than we at DJ’s Cattle could have ever asked for,” Carter said. “It is quite an honor to be named the Herdsman of the Year for such a great breed of cattle. This is one of the biggest honors a man of my business can receive knowing I was selected by my friends, peers and fellow Maine-Anjou breeders.”

2010 AMAA Award Recipients
22 March/April 2011
![Page 25: AMA Voice](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052511/568c2c471a28abd8328cf38a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
2010 AMAA Award RecipientsThe 2010 Maine-
Anjou Promoter of the Year award was presented to a unique gentleman who has promoted the Maine-Anjou breed ever since his daughter began showing cattle in 1990.
Congratulations to Dr. Bob Fields, Okie Blue Sky Farms, Wisner, Okla., as the 2010 Maine-Anjou Promoter of the Year.
In his search to find a Maine-Anjou heifer for his daughter to exhibit, he became acquainted with a number of Maine-Anjou breeders and began putting together his Maine-Anjou cowherd, that now numbers in excess of 100 females.
His primary effort since the early 1990’s has been to make commercial cattlemen around his area aware of the value that the Maine-Anjou breed has to offer through added heterosis, producing calves with heavier weaning weights, added carcass values and great maternal strength. Fields believes the increased presence of black polled genetics will add value to any program.
As a practicing veterinarian for 33 years in Southeast Oklahoma he has the opportunity to gain the trust of many cattlemen, allowing Fields to market Maine-Anjou bulls to these producers. His dedicated involvement with students in 4-H and FFA gives him the opportunity to market numerous show heifers and replacement females to future young Maine-Anjou producers that will continue to be the lifeblood of the cattle business.
The 2010 Commercial Producer of the Year award was presented to a family that started in the cow-calf business while working with his father, Vernon, a true cattleman. In 1972 the Van Slyke family began
their own operation that has grown into a well respected commercial cow herd today. Congratulations to the Jack Van Slyke family on being the 2010 Commercial Producer of the Year.
The Van Slyke cow-calf operation is located in the midwest and currently runs over 800 black based cows that have been bred predominantly to Maine-Anjou bulls the last 15-20 years. Their calves are always in great demand and have sold privately many times to feedyards that are seeking their genetics due to the outstanding market premiums their cattle have earned. Van Slyke progeny have topped local market auctions for years. To further prove their
performance and carcass value, their grandchildren entered calves in the national Maine-Anjou feeding trials where Van Slyke genetics dominated many of the contests.
The Van Slyke operation feels the benefits of the Maine-Anjou breed are their rate of gain potential, ability to provide outstanding carcass qualities, calving ease and great disposition. In essence, a total value added breed for the commercial cattleman. Ranching and farming is a way of life for the Van Slykes and a total family operation from grandchildren to grown ups.
With the purchase of their first female in 1981, the goal from the very beginning was to own ten great cows. They define a great cow as one that meets the standards to become a Cornerstone Dam
in the American Maine-Anjou Association and have succeeded in reaching this goal numerous times. Congratulations to Stouts Maines, the 2010 Seedstock Producer of the Year.
From the beginning the Stout program focus has been to provide commercial cattlemen with the type of cattle that are functional, structurally correct with outstanding performance and females that provide the needed maternal strength to work in any environment. “We want commercial customers to make a profit.” Their large commercial customer bull base is vital to the success of their program and they continue to provide their customers with the elevated genetics for greater profits. The Stout operation presently runs 60 purebred females that are bred to survive on a strictly forage based diet where they utilize a rotational grazing system that has earned them multiple awards for excellence in grass management.
For years on the first Saturday in October, the Stout operation offers the choice of the entire heifer crop through a silent bid auction on their farm and through the Internet. This unique sale has become a very popular and successful event. The bulls are marketed privately every year and sold through winter sales with a number of the bulls going into seedstock operations.
The Maine-Anjou breed has helped to provide the Stout operation the opportunity to have a family business that has enabled them to make lifelong friends and lasting memories. For years this operation has raised a number of superior sires that have been used heavily throughout America’s cowherds with great success. The genetics from the Stout program are woven like a web through the pedigrees of many modern day Maine-Anjou cattle. A long committed seedstock operation with a breed prefix that will never be forgotten and the breeders of JDS Stout.

26 March/April 2011
Solutions to Common Calving Problems
Each calving season, it is not uncommon for a producer to encounter two rather frequent scenarios: either a handful of calves with genetic defects or dealing with dystocias, despite purchasing “calving ease bulls.” Regardless of herd size or breed, these problems stretch across the country and can greatly impact a producer’s bottom line.
A powerful and practical solution to these challenges is DNA technology, such as the IGENITY® profile. By taking a DNA sample prior to turnout, producers can make better selection decisions and help prevent costly problems in the future.
In the first scenario, a handful of calves with genetic defects such as Pulmonary Hypoplasia Anasarca (PHA) or Tibial Hemimelia (TH) can have a devastating impact on producers’ pocketbooks each year. Especially devastating, since there is an easy way to help avoid the genetic defect by knowing if the bulls are carriers or not, by using DNA technology.
“With IGENITY, you can definitively know whether bulls are carriers for a genetic defect – before they are turned out with cows,” explains Dr. Stewart Bauck, IGENITY executive director of research and development. “For seedstock operations selling bulls to commercial producers, this is extremely important as most commercial producers do not have pedigree information for cows and may not know if their herd has carrier cows. A carrier bull mated with a carrier cow has a 25 percent chance that the resulting calf will be born with the disease and a 50 percent chance that the calf will be a carrier. Knowing the sires’ status is the most cost effective way for commercial producers to avoid perpetuating genetic defects. Taking a DNA sample on bulls, as early as possible, is an efficient way to build a healthy, productive herd.”
In the second scenario, DNA technology can also help identify the “culprit” sires. DNA based sire assignment can identify if one bull is responsible for most of the dystocias in a herd. Having a DNA sample from the potential sires is key for parentage assignment. Unfortunately, most producers have a difficult time getting DNA samples after turnout, so collecting DNA samples at bull breeding soundness exams or prior to turnout can be very important, Bauck adds.
“Another benefit of collecting DNA samples before bulls enter a herd is that producers can make better selection decisions.
Since the IGENITY profile is a comprehensive profile containing the most important production traits, producers can use it along side traditional selection tools to better evaluate bulls for a long list of economically important traits,” says Bauck. “A Maine-Anjou producer, for example, may make breeding and selection decisions using the IGENITY profile to select bulls with high reproductive and carcass scores for traits such as calving ease, docility and marbling.”
By including the comprehensive IGENITY profile into a herd management program, producers can make stronger selection and mating decisions. Simply taking a DNA sample such as a blood spot, a tissue punch from an ear tag or hair from the switch of the tail, enables producers to improve the genetic composition of their herd and help avoid costly mistakes in the future.
To get started, producers can order sample collection kits by contacting their IGENITY sales representative, call 1-877-443-6489 or visit www.igenity.com/beef. Sample collection can be done at anytime or age; however, collecting samples when animals are already being processed may be the most convenient. Planning ahead will ensure the information will be available in time to make selection decisions and provide results at production sales.

Kids!by Mackenzi Dorsey, At- Large
Queen Carrie ElmoreSouth Carolina
Junior PrincessesShelby Seymour, TexasChloe Van Vliet, Iowa
The youth of today are the future tomorrow. Now, more than ever, it is imperative we encourage youth to become active in the livestock industry. With constant pressure from animal rights groups, who question practices that have been used for years, it is important our kids be educated and well prepared to educate the misinformed.
Over the past few months, I have had numerous opportunities to spend time working with youth from across the country. Being an active member of the AJMAA and the livestock industry, I know the benefits and tools that come from staying busy with livestock projects.
The past month and a half I have spent working in the livestock office at the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo. While there, I had the opportunity to take part in junior breed and market show activities. Being behind the scenes, it has given me a whole new perspective on the importance of involving today's youth.
While attending this year's Fort Worth Stock Show I had the privilege of working with several families and their cattle projects. These families work daily to ensure that their cattle are fed, groomed and cared for properly. Getting up early, staying up late and skipping a trip to the mall to go to the barn and feed their livestock on the weekend makes for a responsible, dependable
and hard working individual. One you would like to have on your judging team, in your classroom or running your business.
These are all quality aspects of young individuals that will continue to make our livestock industry flourish.
I challenge and encourage everyone to take the time to get to know the younger kids of your community and lead by example. Answer questions, take an hour out of your day to help with livestock projects, volunteer with your local 4-H or FFA groups. Afterall, they are the future!

27March/April 2011
Solutions to Common Calving Problems
Each calving season, it is not uncommon for a producer to encounter two rather frequent scenarios: either a handful of calves with genetic defects or dealing with dystocias, despite purchasing “calving ease bulls.” Regardless of herd size or breed, these problems stretch across the country and can greatly impact a producer’s bottom line.
A powerful and practical solution to these challenges is DNA technology, such as the IGENITY® profile. By taking a DNA sample prior to turnout, producers can make better selection decisions and help prevent costly problems in the future.
In the first scenario, a handful of calves with genetic defects such as Pulmonary Hypoplasia Anasarca (PHA) or Tibial Hemimelia (TH) can have a devastating impact on producers’ pocketbooks each year. Especially devastating, since there is an easy way to help avoid the genetic defect by knowing if the bulls are carriers or not, by using DNA technology.
“With IGENITY, you can definitively know whether bulls are carriers for a genetic defect – before they are turned out with cows,” explains Dr. Stewart Bauck, IGENITY executive director of research and development. “For seedstock operations selling bulls to commercial producers, this is extremely important as most commercial producers do not have pedigree information for cows and may not know if their herd has carrier cows. A carrier bull mated with a carrier cow has a 25 percent chance that the resulting calf will be born with the disease and a 50 percent chance that the calf will be a carrier. Knowing the sires’ status is the most cost effective way for commercial producers to avoid perpetuating genetic defects. Taking a DNA sample on bulls, as early as possible, is an efficient way to build a healthy, productive herd.”
In the second scenario, DNA technology can also help identify the “culprit” sires. DNA based sire assignment can identify if one bull is responsible for most of the dystocias in a herd. Having a DNA sample from the potential sires is key for parentage assignment. Unfortunately, most producers have a difficult time getting DNA samples after turnout, so collecting DNA samples at bull breeding soundness exams or prior to turnout can be very important, Bauck adds.
“Another benefit of collecting DNA samples before bulls enter a herd is that producers can make better selection decisions.
Since the IGENITY profile is a comprehensive profile containing the most important production traits, producers can use it along side traditional selection tools to better evaluate bulls for a long list of economically important traits,” says Bauck. “A Maine-Anjou producer, for example, may make breeding and selection decisions using the IGENITY profile to select bulls with high reproductive and carcass scores for traits such as calving ease, docility and marbling.”
By including the comprehensive IGENITY profile into a herd management program, producers can make stronger selection and mating decisions. Simply taking a DNA sample such as a blood spot, a tissue punch from an ear tag or hair from the switch of the tail, enables producers to improve the genetic composition of their herd and help avoid costly mistakes in the future.
To get started, producers can order sample collection kits by contacting their IGENITY sales representative, call 1-877-443-6489 or visit www.igenity.com/beef. Sample collection can be done at anytime or age; however, collecting samples when animals are already being processed may be the most convenient. Planning ahead will ensure the information will be available in time to make selection decisions and provide results at production sales.

Kids!by Mackenzi Dorsey, At- Large

The youth of today are the future tomorrow. Now, more than ever, it is imperative we encourage youth to become active in the livestock industry. With constant pressure from animal rights groups, who question practices that have been used for years, it is important our kids be educated and well prepared to educate the misinformed.
Over the past few months, I have had numerous opportunities to spend time working with youth from across the country. Being an active member of the AJMAA and the livestock industry, I know the benefits and tools that come from staying busy with livestock projects.
The past month and a half I have spent working in the livestock office at the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo. While there, I had the opportunity to take part in junior breed and market show activities. Being behind the scenes, it has given me a whole new perspective on the importance of involving today's youth.
While attending this year's Fort Worth Stock Show I had the privilege of working with several families and their cattle projects. These families work daily to ensure that their cattle are fed, groomed and cared for properly. Getting up early, staying up late and skipping a trip to the mall to go to the barn and feed their livestock on the weekend makes for a responsible, dependable
and hard working individual. One you would like to have on your judging team, in your classroom or running your business.
These are all quality aspects of young individuals that will continue to make our livestock industry flourish.
I challenge and encourage everyone to take the time to get to know the younger kids of your community and lead by example. Answer questions, take an hour out of your day to help with livestock projects, volunteer with your local 4-H or FFA groups. Afterall, they are the future!

Branding Your Ranch
As agriculturalists, we know the importance of identification tools for our animals, such as branding and tattoos. We take pride in carefully identifying every single animal on our operations, but sometimes overlook the importance of “branding” our own ranch in the marketplace by creating a unique and identifying identity of our own. At the least, every operation should have a name, signature colors and a slogan or tagline that is used in every piece of marketing produced by the ranch. From there, a rancher has several different tools that can be used to create a lasting brand identity for your operation.
Logo, once a rancher has the name, color and tagline for his operation in place, the next step is to create a logo. A logo is a specific type style, shape or graphic that gives your business an easy to recognize symbol. Agriculturalists can create a logo themselves, or hire a professional to design one for the cost of anywhere from $100 to $1000. Once your logo is created, use it everywhere: on your Web site, on business cards, on your vehicles or equipment, on apparel, on your farm sign and anywhere else you can imagine. The goal is to keep placing the logo in front of your consumers as often as possible.
Business cards are another effective and affordable tool for branding your ranch. Business
cards allow you to leave your potential clients with a convenient way of retaining your contact information. They are also a very effective tool at reaching local customers by posting your card in local auction barn bulletin boards, feed store trading posts and local vet clinic announcement boards. Most producers with basic computer skills can create business cards using their home computer by purchasing business card paper templates that are available at any office supply or mega-store. For those wishing for a more professional look, business cards average $100 for a set of 250 cards.
Outdoor signage is especially important to agriculturalists, as often times your ranch entrance, truck or trailer is your storefront to the world. Every agricultural operation should have some type of farm sign identifying their business to local producers and those who drive by the ranch every day. These signs can range from something as simple as a small sign posted on your front gate to a larger elevated sign. The ideal farm sign would be large enough in size for potential customers to notice and be able to clearly read from the roadside. The farm name, phone number and Web site should be the largest readable text on the sign. It is also important to include your tagline and a description of what you offer, such as: Blind Badger Ranch
Registered Maine-Anjou Cattle For Sale.
Vehicular advertising is also important for those involved in the livestock business. By including your ranch brand, logo or Web site on your vehicle, you create a virtual moving advertisement for your business. It is natural human curiosity, especially for ranchers, to wonder what is inside any livestock trailer they pass on the road. Therefore, it is important to include your ranch name on any trailers or equipment you may own. When adhering lettering to a trailer, be sure to include the front portion of the nose, using perhaps your logo or brand, to display your identity to oncoming traffic. Ranchers should also print the full business name and a contact method, such as a phone number or Web site, on the side of the trailer’s nose as well. Ask your accountant if you may be able to write off a portion of your automobile expenses by including your ranch logo and contact information on your vehicles.
Ranch apparel is becoming increasingly popular as another way of keeping a ranch’s identity in the public view. Baseball caps are the most popular article of clothing used for promotion, because they can be easily ordered from a local embroidery shop or at major stock shows from embroidery booths. Depending on the quality and quantity,
by Rachel Cutrer
pricing may range from $6 to $20 per cap. Ranch head gear makes for great promotional give-a-ways for clients, friends of your business or employees. During winter months, personalized ranch gloves are also popular apparel items, due to their affordability. One can usually order gloves in pair quantities of 144 with cost averaging $2 per pair. Finally, the most professional businesses will include personalized shirts or outerwear for their key staff members to wear at trade shows or stock shows. Each member of your staff should wear matching shirts with the ranch name and logo embroidered on the front shoulder. However, avoid overwhelming embroidery along the back shoulders or full sleeve length of the shirts. Any individual wearing your personalized apparel is a representative of your ranch, therefore you may want to consider advising all team members to avoid questionable behavior while wearing anything advertising your business.
Repetition is the key to creating brand awareness in any industry. Try to place your ranch name in public view as often as possible, by utilizing such tools as business cards, outdoor advertising, vehicular advertising and apparel. It is estimated that a consumer must see your brand seven times before they begin to recognize it, take action and consider buying from you. Do whatever you can to increase that frequency and create more awareness of your operation.

It should be the goal of every Maine-Anjou breeder to have his or her reproductive program yield profitable results. A lot of time and strategy goes into mating and breeding for the next great crop of calves that will deliver results in the shows and sales of tomorrow. Those who take advantage of advanced reproductive technologies, such as embryo transfer (ET), are counting on an even greater return on their investment.
Trust is placed in the hands of experienced embryo transfer teams and breeders rely on their expertise to deliver rewarding results. This expertise is crucial to the success of an ET program. However, equally important is breeders’ understanding of their role in the processes and how they can help achieve the best results possible. As we are in the middle of calving season and begin to prepare for the breeding season, there are some pro-active measures that ranchers and farmers can undertake to increase the success of their ET program.
Provide Proper NutritionDonors and recipients alike
should be fed so they are maintaining or gaining good body condition during the ET program season. For example, a diet rich in carbohydrates, fiber and macro and micro minerals is highly recommended. Monthly supplements of Vitamin E and Selenium are especially helpful in a Selenium-deficient diet. Alfalfa and other high protein diets (greater than 16%) are
not recommended during flush work. Donors and recipients work best when they are on a gaining plain of nutrition for at least 60 days. Feeding them to gain prior to calving and immediately post partum is a crucial part of a successful program. Many producers will also use chelated minerals as part of their comprehensive nutrition package for donors and recipients.
Stay Current on VaccinationsA complete herd health
vaccination program is recommended for every breeding herd and Maine-Anjou breeders should ensure every donor is healthy and up to date on vaccines before they begin superovuluation protocols. Donors should NOT be treated with antibiotics during the superovulation setup process and modified live vaccines should not be given within 30 days of starting a protocol. We suggest that you work with your local veterinarian to understand the best vaccination program for the needs in your area and then stick to the plan. Do not skip vaccinations and boosters.
Use the Right NeedlesAll hormone injections should
be given intramuscularly (unless otherwise noted) and should not be given successively in the same location. All injections should be given with a clean, 1½ inch, 18 or 20 gauge needle. Using a shorter or larger diameter (16 gauge) needle may cause the hormones to leak out of the injection site.
Using needles repeatedly between cows can spread blood borne diseases like Bovine Leukosis virus. We suggest that a new, sterile needle be used for every injection on your facility.
Pay Attention to the Recommended Schedule
Most breeders believe injections must be given exactly 12 hours apart. “While we highly recommend this schedule as an ideal, we also understand that breeders are busy with other priorities during breeding season,” says Dr. Jon Schmidt, director of professional services at Trans Ova Genetics. He recommends giving injections before 8 a.m. and after 4 p.m. when injecting every 12 hours is not possible. “This is the policy Trans Ova Genetics follows, with excellent results,” Schmidt adds. He goes on to explain that because the half-life of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is approximately two to five hours (which means that after a few hours of giving a shot, half of the product is used up), two injections are required each day.
An ET practitioner considers many factors when scheduling a donor. Age of the donor, what breed she is, when she last calved, all these factors are key considerations in this process. “If she’s been flushed before, we take her previous flush stimulation (such as how her ovaries felt) results, how many good and bad embryos into consideration when prescribing future schedules,” says Schmidt.

follow the schedules set up by their ET practitioner and not change them based on what may have worked for a friend’s cow,” advises Schmidt. “We use the prescribed schedules to tweak future flush schedules and if the prescribed schedule is not followed, it may affect flush results this time and in the future.” If the prescribed schedule is not followed for any reason, the ET practitioner should be notified so that the donor history can be updated with correct information.
Several different modifications may be done to “tweak” donor schedules. Drugs may be increased or decreased, different hormones may be used, even special procedures like a dominant follicle removal (DFR) may be necessary to get a donor to perform successfully. An ultrasound reproductive examination at the start of a program also can eliminate donors that are not ready for superovulation and would otherwise produce poor results.
Properly Mix, Use and Store Drugs
Once FSH, (common brand names include Folltropin and Pluset) is mixed, it must be kept in the refrigerator and used up within five days. Remaining product can be frozen within this time frame for later use. Frozen FSH can be stored in a deep freezer (not a frost-free) for several months and can only be thawed once by placing it in warm water. Do not microwave or place in hot or boiling water. When using thawed
FSH that has been previously frozen, it should be used toward the end of a superovulation schedule. Freshly mixed FSH is best for the beginning of a schedule. Other reproductive drugs (Prostaglandins, Luteinizing Hormone and GnRH) should be stored out of sunlight, at a controlled room temperature, during the recommended superovulation protocol. These products should not be allowed to freeze. If they do freeze, we recommend that the product be discarded.
Make Heat Checking a PriorityObviously the more certain and
accurate a breeders observations are, the better the results of the ET program. It is very important to know when donors and recipients are in good, solid, standing heat. Careful heat detection is critical to a successful program and animals should be watched closely during the time periods they are expected to be in heat. Guess work is not recommended. The status of all donors and potential recipients should be carefully documented and shared with the ET team prior to the transfer work.
While it is rare that a donor will not come into heat at all, breeders still should follow through with the prescribed schedule if this does happen. It still may be possible to recover good embryos. Regardless, if breeders find themselves in this situation, Schmidt advises that they immediately contact their ET practitioner to discuss next steps.
Use the Best Semen PossibleIn a perfect world, four units of
excellent quality semen would be used during a superovulation schedule; one unit at the start of standing heat, two units 12 hours after the start of standing heat and then one more unit 24 hours after the start of standing heat. As a bull’s semen becomes more rare and expensive, the number of units can be decreased to as few as one unit per schedule. In this case, it is best to pre-determine an insemination plan with the advanced reproductive technology team. In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) can be a better way to maximize results with rare, expensive or sexed-semen. The quality of semen used and how it is handled during freezing and thawing is of extreme importance.
Sexed or sorted semen on many bulls is also now available for you to use in your ET program. We recommend that at least 10 to 15 million total sperm are used in this scenario, which often is composed of two to three straws of five million sperm each. The five million sperm straws are better for ET than the two million sperm straws because they allow you to enter the cervix fewer times. Because the sperm is capacitated in the sorting process, most breeding schedules with sorted semen will begin later, at 18 to 24 hours post standing estrus as opposed to 10 to 12 hours post estrus. Some practitioners will also horn breed donors when using sorted semen, but we do not advise this practice unless you are highly comfortable and competent
with this procedure. We suggest that you work closely with the semen provider to determine the best AI protocol for each donor. Sorted semen works best in young donors without previous reproductive problems.
With all the variables that are part of an ET program, Maine-Anjou breeders are wise to work with a trusted, experienced professional team in order to achieve the best results for their herd development. Following the prescribed schedules,
administering injections correctly, and paying close attention to heats are important tasks. Maine-Anjou breeders who do this well are more likely to reap the rewards of a successful ET program.

follow the schedules set up by their ET practitioner and not change them based on what may have worked for a friend’s cow,” advises Schmidt. “We use the prescribed schedules to tweak future flush schedules and if the prescribed schedule is not followed, it may affect flush results this time and in the future.” If the prescribed schedule is not followed for any reason, the ET practitioner should be notified so that the donor history can be updated with correct information.
Several different modifications may be done to “tweak” donor schedules. Drugs may be increased or decreased, different hormones may be used, even special procedures like a dominant follicle removal (DFR) may be necessary to get a donor to perform successfully. An ultrasound reproductive examination at the start of a program also can eliminate donors that are not ready for superovulation and would otherwise produce poor results.
Properly Mix, Use and Store Drugs
Once FSH, (common brand names include Folltropin and Pluset) is mixed, it must be kept in the refrigerator and used up within five days. Remaining product can be frozen within this time frame for later use. Frozen FSH can be stored in a deep freezer (not a frost-free) for several months and can only be thawed once by placing it in warm water. Do not microwave or place in hot or boiling water. When using thawed
FSH that has been previously frozen, it should be used toward the end of a superovulation schedule. Freshly mixed FSH is best for the beginning of a schedule. Other reproductive drugs (Prostaglandins, Luteinizing Hormone and GnRH) should be stored out of sunlight, at a controlled room temperature, during the recommended superovulation protocol. These products should not be allowed to freeze. If they do freeze, we recommend that the product be discarded.
Make Heat Checking a PriorityObviously the more certain and
accurate a breeders observations are, the better the results of the ET program. It is very important to know when donors and recipients are in good, solid, standing heat. Careful heat detection is critical to a successful program and animals should be watched closely during the time periods they are expected to be in heat. Guess work is not recommended. The status of all donors and potential recipients should be carefully documented and shared with the ET team prior to the transfer work.
While it is rare that a donor will not come into heat at all, breeders still should follow through with the prescribed schedule if this does happen. It still may be possible to recover good embryos. Regardless, if breeders find themselves in this situation, Schmidt advises that they immediately contact their ET practitioner to discuss next steps.
Use the Best Semen PossibleIn a perfect world, four units of
excellent quality semen would be used during a superovulation schedule; one unit at the start of standing heat, two units 12 hours after the start of standing heat and then one more unit 24 hours after the start of standing heat. As a bull’s semen becomes more rare and expensive, the number of units can be decreased to as few as one unit per schedule. In this case, it is best to pre-determine an insemination plan with the advanced reproductive technology team. In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) can be a better way to maximize results with rare, expensive or sexed-semen. The quality of semen used and how it is handled during freezing and thawing is of extreme importance.

I hope this article finds everyone recovering from a great holiday, wonderful New Year and outstanding Denver! Although the National Western Stock Show (NWSS) is always a highlight of mine throughout the year, I think this year was one for the books. Here is a little recap of the 2011 NWSS.
Our journey began on Sunday, Jan. 9, 2011, a day earlier than originally planned, we headed out to beat the storm. I was determined that I was going to get us to Denver on Sunday, come rain or snow. Around Hays, Kan., the snow won and, defeated, we pulled over and spent the night. Up and at’em the next morning our journey continued with less than favorable driving conditions and cold temperatures. After what seemed like days we finally reached the stock show. I was so excited I could hardly sit still! We unpacked our suburban and headed to the yards to meet up with some old friends.
The next day was a day spent setting up our tent and banners. I hope everyone took notice of the new and improved Maine-Anjou banner and booth that were on display at this year’s stock show. We are pretty proud of them here at the office. After walking around and visiting with breeders it was clear that it was going to be a great year for Maine-Anjou enthusiasts across the country. Wednesday was a busy day with the pen show and sale check-in. We collect all of the pertinent data, REA, fat and scrotal to include in addition to EPDs in our show program and data sheet for
potential buyers. Needless to say, everyone
brought their best to this year’s stock show! Thursday was the pre-sale evaluation, at this time all of the sale consignors bring their cattle to be evaluated by a set of three judges. The bulls are then rated to help determine the sale order. We got the privilege to work with Donnie Robertson and Kent Jaecke, Oklahoma and Shawn Wilson, Canada for this year’s evaluation. A big thank you goes out to these three gentlemen for judging our sale evaluation!
Friday was a big day, the annual Maine-Anjou Pen-of-Three bull and female show in the yards. Thank you to Jim Bloomberg, Illinois, Blake Bloomberg, Oklahoma and Jim Williams, Texas; they did a great job evaluating our pen show! The competition was second to none and big job well done goes out to all of those who brought and exhibited cattle in the show.
The next two days are something that really bring a smile to my face. Saturday was the annual Bright Light's Sale in Denver, and boy oh boy it is good to be in the Maine-Anjou business. In front of a packed house Maine-Anjou and MaineTainer bulls averaged a whopping $3,992. Females, not far behind, averaged $3,658. A big thank you goes out to all those who consigned and purchased lots in this year's sale. To Dustin Layton, sale manager, we appreciate all you do for this event.
Sunday was the grand finale. The show on the hill is always
stacked with competition from top to bottom and this year was no exception. Over 90 head of high quality Maine-Anjou and MaineTainer cattle were exhibited, it was a great show! Congratulations to all of the junior and open show exhibitors on presenting a fantastic set of Maine-Anjou cattle. It takes a lot of work and TLC to get heifers and bulls to the stock show and boy did it show! Good job to all.
There are the Denver highlights in a nut shell. Denver is a great starting point for all of us Maine-Anjou enthusiasts to get excited about what the future has in store. Whether it was in the yards or on the hill, the Maine-Anjou breed was highly represented. If this is any indication towards the quality our breeders will continue to produce in the years to come, I am excited! As long as you continue to collect the pertinent data to represent the quality of cattle you strive to produce, advertise your respective programs for potential buyers and remember that the Maine-Anjou breed does have a place outside of the showring, the future is bright for the Maine-Anjou breed! I look forward to seeing everyone at the upcoming jackpot shows and bull sales. Remember, if there is anything the Voice can do to help promote your business, please, do not hesitate to contact Kasey or myself. We are happy to help in however we can!
