Genetics Australia is proud to present our 2013/14 Beef Sire Directory. Our current team is the most diverse team of bulls we have ever offered to the Australian beef industry. In 2013 we have introduced an expanded range of Poll Hereford , Murray Grey and Wagyu sires to complement our strong Angus, Charolais and Simmental offering.

Our commitment to be the leading supplier of beef genetics to the Australian industry is stronger than ever before. Our strong breeder relationships have enabled us to introduce a number of outstanding Australian beef sires to our product portfolio. Likewise, our strong relationship with World Wide Sires Ltd gives us access to some of the best genetics to come out of North America and combined, we believe that we have a product offering second to none. There is a bull for every need or breeding goal in our 2013/14 catalogue.

The application of Synchonised A.I. programs, high quality semen and proven genetics has seen an increase in the use of A.I. in both commercial and seedstock herds in Australia. Beef producers today more than ever before recognise the benefits of using AI to produce beef cattle that are of greater economic and genetic value to their program.

As we have done previously, in 2013 we have travelled to the USA and extensively through Australia with the aim to identify and select new sires for our program and to inspect the progeny of our current sires. It is very rewarding to see the progeny of our sires performing well for our customers. Our tours to the USA have enabled us to see first hand the sires of the future. We have met the people who bred them and inspected their first progeny. This information gathering and

inspection process gives us the confidence to recommend the right sires to meet your breeding needs.

Genetics Australia is a leading supplier of merchandise to the AI industry. We offer a full range of products including AI equipment and heat detection aids, show supplies, right through to a large range of wet weather clothing and other essential farming items. Feel free to browse our online store at www.shop. genaust.com.au and view our comprehensive range of merchandise that can be purchased securely online and delivered to your door. You might be surprised what we offer!

Please take the opportunity to contact Genetics Australia for reliable advice on sire selection, AI programs or any of our other products and services. The contact details for your local Genetics Australia representatives can be found on the back cover of this directory.

PerforManCe daTa BIRTH WT. (BW): The weight of a calf taken within 24 hours after birth.

ADJUSTED WEANING WEIGHT (WW): An unshrunk, off–the–cow weight adjusted to 205 days of age and to a mature–dam age equivalence.

ADJUSTED YEARLING WEIGHT (YW): An unshrunk weight adjusted to 365 days of age.

SCROTAL CIRCUMFERENCE: A measure of testes size obtained by measuring the distance around the testicles in the scrotum with a circular tape. Related to semen–producing capacity and age at puberty of female sibs and progeny.

FRAME SCORE: A score based on subjective evalua-tion of height or actual measurement of hip height. This score is related to slaughter weights at which cattle should attain a given quality grade or attain a given amount of fat thickness.

HETEROZYGOUS: Genes of a specific pair (alleles) are different in an individual (e.g., Aa).

HOMOZYGOUS: Genes of a specific pair (alleles) are alike in an individual (e.g., AA or aa).

POLLED: Naturally hornless cattle. Having no horns or scurs.

POLLED/SCURRED: Individuals who are polled with scurs.

HOMOZYGOUS POLLED: Bulls which have a 99.9% probability of being homozygous polled, having been test mated to horned or heterozygous polled cows. You should expect these bulls to sire all polled calves.

HOMOZYGOUS BLACK: These bulls have a 99.9% probability of being homozygous black, having been test mated to red and heterozygous black cows. You should expect these bulls to sire black calves when mated to red or black cows.

EXPECTED PROGENY DIFFERENCE (EPD): The differ-ence in performance to be expected from future prog-eny of a sire, compared with that expected from future progeny of the average bull in the same test. EPD is an estimate based on progeny testing and is equal to one–half the estimate of breeding value obtainable from the progeny test records. EPDs for growth traits are gener-ally expressed in pounds, either as a plus difference or minimum difference from the population average. EPDs are generally reported in the units of measure of the trait, (e.g., pounds, cm, cm2, percent, etc.)

ACCURACY (ACC): The reliability that can be placed on the expected progeny difference (EPD). An accuracy of close to 1.0 indicates higher reliability.

BIRTH WEIGHT (BW): Calf weight at birth adjusted to a mature dam equivalent. Expected progeny perfor-mance is reported in pounds. The EPD value predicts the difference in average birth weight of a bull’s calves compared to calves of all other bulls evaluated. A posi-tive value indicates heavier–than–average birth weights while a negative value (–) indicates lighter–than–aver-age birth weights.

CALVING EASE (DIRECT): The ease with which a bull’s calves are born to first–calf heifers. A first–calf heifer is defined as a female calving for the first time at 33 months of age or less. Expected progeny differences are reported as deviations in the percent unassisted births. When comparing calving ease EPDs of two sires, the larger EPD indicates a higher percent of unas-sisted births for calves sired by this bull.

WEANING WEIGHT EPD (WW): A sire’s expected progeny difference (lb.) for 205–day, mature dam equivalent weaning weight. A sire’s weaning weight EPD is an indication of growth to weaning. It does not indicate milk production.

YEARLING WEIGHT EPD (YW): A sire’s expected progeny difference (lb.) for 365–day, mature dam equivalent yearling weight.

RADG EPD – RADG allows producers to characterize Angus genetics that will perform more efficiently in a post weaning feeding environment. It provides a balanced approach to identify cattle that, with a given quantity of feed, will still perform at industry acceptable levels. RADG is presented in pounds (lb.) per day, with a higher value being more favorable.

YEARLING HEIGHT (YH): A predictor, expressed in inches, of a sire’s ability to transmit yearling height.

SCROTAL CIRCUMFERENCE EPD (SC): A predictor, expressed in centimeters, of the difference in transmit-ting ability for scrotal size.

DOCILITY (DOC): A tool to increase the probability of docile calves from one sire compared to calves of other sires. The EPD is expressed as a genetic difference in percentage units, with a higher value being more favor-able for calmer temperament.

daugHTer eVaLuaTion

MATERNAL MILK (MILK): The maternal ability of a bull’s daughters. Expected progeny performance is expressed in pounds of calf weaning weight. The EPD value predicts the difference (due to maternal ability) in average 205–day weight of a bull’s daughters’ calves compared to calves of all other bulls evaluated.

MATERNAL WEANING WEIGHT (MWW): The wean-ing weight of a bull’s daughters’ calves. Expected prog-eny performance is reported in pounds. The EPD value predicts the difference in average 205–day weight of bull’s daughters’ calves compared to calves from daughters of all other bulls evaluated. The evaluation reflects both the maternal ability of a bull’s daughters and the growth potential of their calves.

MATURE DAUGHTER WEIGHT EPD (MW): A predictor of the difference in mature size of a sire’s daughters expressed in pounds.

MATURE DAUGHTER HEIGHT EPD (MH): A predictor of the difference in mature daughter height of a sire’s daughters expressed in inches.

MATERNAL CALVING EASE (MCE): The ease with which a sire’s daughters calve as first–calf heifers. Ex-pected progeny differences are reported as deviations in the percent unassisted births.

HEIFER PREGNANCY (HPG): A tool to increase the chance of a sire’s daughters becoming pregnant as heifers during a normal breeding season. The EPD is expressed as a genetic difference in percentage units, with a higher value being more favorable.

STAYABILITY (STAY.): The expressed difference in probability of daughters staying in the herd to at least six years of age. Since cows are usually only culled for being open before six years, the EPD is primarily a measure of sustained fertility in female offspring.

CARCASS EVALUATION

CARCASS WEIGHT EPD (CW): A predictor, expressed in pounds, of the differences in hot carcass weight of a sire’s progeny at a given end point .

MARBLING EPD (MARB): An expression, as a fraction, of the differences in a subjective USDA marbling score of a sire’s progeny at a given end point.

RIBEYE AREA EPD (REA): A predictor, expressed in square inches, of the differences in rib eye area of a sire’s progeny at a given end point.

FAT THICKNESS EPD (FT): A predictor, expressed in inches, of the differences in fat thickness of a sire’s progeny, between the 12th and 13th ribs, at a given end point.

SHEAR EPD: An EPD developed from the Warner–Bratzler Shear Force (WBSF) test where the pounds of Force are measured to shear a steak. This is a measurement of tenderness. The more negative the number the more tender.

YIELD GRADE EPD (YG): Carcass yield grade score at 475 days.

Bio–eConoMiC $VaLues angus

WEANED CALF VALUE ($W) is the expected aver-age difference in future progeny performance for preweaning merit. $W includes both revenue and cost adjustments associated with differences in birth weight, weaning direct growth, maternal milk, and mature cow size.

COW ENERGY VALUE ($EN) assesses differences in cow energy requirements, expressed in dollars per cow per year, as an expected dollar savings difference in future daughters of sires. A larger value is more favor-able when comparing two animals.

FEEDLOT VALUE ($F) is the expected average differ-ence in future progeny performance for postweaning merit compared to progeny of other sires.

GRID VALUE ($G) is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for carcass grid merit compared to progeny of other sires.

a Brief desCriPTion of eBVs and $index VaLues

2013 Breed aVerages

The following is a brief description of Angus grouP BreedPLan eBVs and Breedobject $index Values and Accuracies. For a more detailed explanation of these please refer to the Angus Society of Australia web site (www.angusaustralia.com.au).

aCCuraCy (%) ~ Provides an indication of the reliability of an EBV. As more performance information becomes available on an animal (or it’s progeny, or relatives) then the accuracy of its EBVs for particular traits will increase. See Understanding Accuracies (www.angusaustralia.com.au/BP_Understanding_Accu.htm) for a more detailed explanation.
