This almanac is presented as a listing of Angus sales and events known to our staff. Sales are presented by sale date, herd/association name and herd location (also sale location, if different). If more than one herd is involved, the address listed is location of sale. To make this listing concise, we have used the following abbreviations: associates, assoc.; association, ass’n; beef cattle improvement association, BCIA; beef cattle improvement program, BCIP; brothers, bros.; company, co.; enterprises, ent.; international, int’l; junior, jr.; mountain, mtn.; national, nat’l; northeast, NE; northwest, NW; performance-tested, PT; Roll of Victory, ROV; senior, sr.; southeast, SE; southwest, SW; to be announced, TBA; and university, Un. (The most current Almanac listing is online, available at www.angusjournal.com/ajcalendar.html. This version is updated on a regular basis and is searchable by keyword, location and date.)

ARSBC Meeting Scheduled for Oct. 15-16Staunton, Va., will host the 2013 Applied Reproductive Strategies

in Beef Cattle symposium this fall.

Cattle producers, veterinarians and other industry personnel from across the country will have the opportunity to visit the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains during the peak of the fall colors to participate in another offering of “Applied Reproductive Strategies in Beef Cattle” (ARSBC). This year’s meeting will be at the Stonewall Jackson Hotel and Conference Center, a historic and beautifully restored hotel with history and charm, but all the comforts of home.

“Reproductive technology holds the key that will allow beef producers to quickly achieve the best genetics suited to their cattle-production goals,” says conference chair Dee Whittier, professor in the Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences at the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine at Virginia Tech.

The concept of ARSBC began about 10 years ago when leaders in beef cattle reproduction recognized the need for in-depth education to increase reproductive performance in beef cattle, encouraging the use of new technologies. In particular, new techniques for estrous synchronization had recently been developed, holding promise for increasing ease and profitability of artificial insemination (AI) in beef cattle.

Prior ARSBC events have occurred in at least 14 locations across the United States. Some Virginians and other East Coast participants have had the opportunity to travel to several of the events, but this will be the first time that an ARSBC event will be in an Eastern Seaboard state.

Some of this year’s sessions will address profiting from reproduction, achieving success with estrous synchronization and AI programs, managing factors to improve pregnancy rates, and using

genetic tools to get the most from reproductive efforts. Additionally, current issues in reproductive management will be discussed, including a first-time session on managing pregnancy and birthing losses.

Speakers will include both local and international experts in cattle reproduction. The schedule is available at www.appliedreprostrategies.com/2013/, the Angus Journal’s event site for the symposium. Visit the site now for the schedule, lineup of speakers, hotel, travel and registration information.

This meeting qualifies for 16 hours of Continuing Education, provided by the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine.

Online registration is available at www.cpe.vt.edu/reg/arsbc/ through Tuesday, Oct. 8, 2013. The registration fee of $200 includes breakfast and lunch on Tuesday and Wednesday, dinner on Tuesday night at the Frontier Culture Museum, and refreshment breaks throughout the conference. A bound proceedings may be purchased for an additional $15 fee (please select this option

when registering, as bound proceedings will not be issued unless purchased). A student registration of $100 is also available.

The Stonewall Jackson Hotel & Conference Center (www.stonewalljacksonhotel.com) in historic Staunton, will be the headquarters for the conference. A block of rooms was held until Sept. 14. Call the hotel directly at 540-885-4848 or toll-free reservations at 1-866-880-0024 to check for room availability. Be sure to let them know you are with the ARSBC Conference.
