McKEARY CHAROLAIS

Over the years you hear and remember some interesting things. Like the old saying about how old men sit and talk about the weather, and old women sit and talk about old men. Which makes me think about one of my favorite sayings, “if it isn’t broke, don’t ! x it.” This holds true for many things in this world, especially our cattle herd. Good feet, good utters, and good temperament. If any of these qualities aren’t met, the animal doesn’t stay. This goes for our women too. My family works around our cows every day and a quiet temperament is essential. Another saying I like is “If you don’t make the ! rst step, the ! nish line doesn’t get any closer.” Which translates into if you don’t take the ! rst step to improve your herd by purchasing top genetic bulls you won’t be raising those top $1700-1800 calves in the fall. So this is your chance to improve your herd and your bank account.

In closing I’d like to thank Ashbacher Angus and Prairie Cove Charolais for striving in our goal to host one of the top bull sales of the year.

Don’t forget the best saying yet you get what you pay for so make sure you nod not shake your head at sale day!!

Chad

Accuracy - re#ects the reliability of the EPD value. High accuracy values (>.80) mean the EPD value is closer to the true breeding value than an EPD value with a lower accuracy (-<.20)

Expected Progeny Di!erenceExpected Progeny Di$erences (EPDs) are statistics generated for individual cattle through national genetic evaluations.

EPDs:• allow breeders to estimate a young animal’s breeding value - that animal’s value as a parent• allow a fair comparison of breeding value by removing environmental bias such as climate, feed and special management• the best tool available to compare animals between herds, countries and year of birth• help breeders make informed decisions regarding breeding stock selection by evaluating numerous traits such as growth-related traits (BW, WW, YW, Milk), carcass (REA,FAT, %IMF, etc.) and reproductive e%ciency(CE, MCE, SC)• estimate the group performance of one parent compared to the group performance of another parent, assuming similar mates

EPDs evaluate group averages and o!spring’s performance. They can not predict individual performance or weights.

For example. If Bull A (weaning weight EPD of +10) and Bull B (WW of +60) were randomly mated with ten similar cows, we would expect the group average weaning weight of Bull A’s o$spring 10 be 50 Ibs lighter than that of Bull B’s (60-10=50).

To evaluate seedstock, use EPDs, pedigree and visual assessment. With EPDs, the concept of “intermediate optimums”works best. Selection for one trait or for extremes generally results in unexpected consequences due to genetic correlations - for example, intense selection for high yearling weight will also increase birth weight. Successful cattle breeding requires a thoughtful and balanced approach to optimize fertility, growth and carcass merit while improving pro!tability and e%ciency.
