Neil Orth, Executive Vice President VIEWPOINT CHAROLAIS It’s Simple. It’s Free. It’s the Key to Our Genomic Future in the Beef Industry. It’s been almost a year since the AICA Board of Directors made the decision to fund, what is arguably, a program that will lead us in to our future in the beef industry. The Board allocated the funds to pay for 50K genotypes for sires and dams meeting EPD performance accuracies. The allocation will pay for testing of up to 1,000 Charolais animals with birth weight and weaning weight accuracies of 0.35 and a minimum of back solution EPDs for carcass traits. That’s it! It’s simple! It’s free. Yet, to date, we haven’t met the goal of gathering DNA samples on the 1,000 animals needed to adequately populate the database to combine with our existing database, ultimately resulting in genomic enhanced EPDs. Accuracies of animals that make up our database is what leads us to higher accuracies of genomic predictions. Robert Williams, Director of Breed Improvement, and Marilou Wegner, AICA Recording Secretary, each have devoted their monthly columns efficiency research project currently underway at multiple institutions, including seven major beef breeds and 24 seedstock producers. Throughout the day, each of the presenters discussed the value of using genomic information, in addition to performance (EPDs), to enhance both seedstock and commercial producer’s abilities to make predictable genetic improvements. Prior to genomic information or DNA technology, feed efficiency data was, at best, unreliable. In addition to feed efficiency, DNA technology will give us the tools to identify and improve those traits previously too expensive or too difficult to measure, namely disease, reproduction and stayability. If you are a registered Charolais producer and have sires that meet the criteria, getting your sires genotyped could not be simpler. Call your field representative. Call the AICA office and request a free DNA kit. Or, “The allocation will pay for testing of up to 1,000 Charolais animals with birth weight and weaning weight accuracies of 0.35 and a minimum of back solution EPDs for carcass traits.” in the Charolais Journal to imploring, explaining and pointed out the importance of your participation. Robert recently wrote, “The greatest benefits to incorporating genomics into our existing genetic evaluation will be increasing the accuracy of young non-parent animals or those with only a few progeny. This can give producers increased confidence in their selection efforts for replacement bulls and females.” According to some industry comparisons, genomic enhanced EPDs on unproven animals equate to having already sired eight or more calves. Your AICA Board of Directors and staff are asking for your help. It is important you recognize both opportunity and industry reality. In the past few years, any relevant beef industry publication has presented information about genomic testing and its potential impact throughout the food chain. As most of you are aware, AICA co-hosted, along with the University of Illinois and the National Program for Genetic Improvement of Feed Efficiency in Beef Cattle, the Charolais on Feed Field Day. One goal of the event was to present early information on the $5 million dollar feed send us a unit of semen for each bull being genotyped—we’ll complete the paper work and submit the sample. Marilou’s instructions from her August column, page 21, “The samples can be tail hair, but in most cases the sample will be semen. The semen does not need to be kept cold when shipped, but be sure to pack it in a way that the straw won’t break in the mail.” The importance of meeting the goal of acquiring 50K genotypes on 1,000 Charolais sires that meet the minimum criteria can’t be understated. The leading land grant universities and other breed associations are focusing their intellectual and financial resources on the development of emerging DNA technology. We encourage you to send in your samples today. If you choose to simply send in a sample to AICA, be sure to identify the sample with a registration number. If you have questions or need assistance, give your field representative a call or call the AICA office. It’s simple. It’s free. It will be the key to our genomic future in the beef industry.

The event was held on August 22, in Champaign, IL and was attended by Charolais breeders, commercial cattle producers and other beef industry leaders from across the United States along with visitors from the Charolais Association in Mexico. “Producers need to be engaged and incorporate technology to be successful in the beef industry nowadays,” said Dr. Douglas Parrett, Extension Specialist and Interim Head of the University of Illinois, Department of Animal Sciences illustrating that cattle producers in the ever-changing world of research and technology need to adapt to be successful. This proved to be the theme of the day. “Events like this expose us to ‘outside the box thinking,’ knowing that universities are trying to improve the industry,” said Robb Creasy, the AICA Treasurer from Macomb, IL. “It also gives producers the chance to learn from others,” he added. Daphne Davis, Charolais breeder from London Mills, IL, commented on the importance of this field day to the Charolais breed, saying “It makes cattlemen more aware of the breed across the state.” The morning began with a tour of the University of Illinois’s beef research farm, which opened in 2004. “I was very impressed by the facilities and the staff including the graduate students at the University of Illinois”, stated Dr. Randy Perry, chairman of the AICA Breed Improvement Committee and faculty member at the Jordan College of Agricultural Sciences & Technology, CHAROLAIS JOURNAL California State University, Fresno. Producers were shown the Metabolism Research Barn; where researchers are able to take samples directly from the rumen of fistulated cattle in order to conduct digestibility and nutrition trials. Dr. Dan Shike, Assistant Professor of Animal Sciences at the University of Illinois, explained that they are then able to pair the digestibility trials with feedlot growth to answer changes in the performance of the animals. Dr. Shike also stressed the importance of good documentation, “We need good data! We must collect good information, document practices, look for profit opportunities, and be ahead of the curve.” AICA Director of Breed Improvement, Dr. Robert Williams said that “This project and the collection of phenotypic data from birth through harvest which includes individual feed intake are critical to moving the industry forward in regards to a better understanding of efficiency an incorporating genomics O C T O B E R 2 0 1 3 21 into our selection tools.” One of the interesting features of the farm is its’ GrowSafe System. This system allows researchers to simultaneously collect individual feed intake data on 900 cows or feedlot cattle. Each animal has its own electronic ear tag – allowing for individual intake data to be electronically transferred into a computer system and analyzed. Other highlights of the tour included a feedstuff discussion with University of Illinois farm manager, Tom Nash, and an overview of the working facilities. After the tour was over, producers had a chance to look at the Charolais sired calves on feed and examine the corresponding feedlot data being collected at the farm. Dr. Perry noted that “Our breed was well represented by the quality of the crossbred calves that were being fed.” The second half of the day consisted of presentations by leaders of the five million dollar, multi-institutional feed efficiency project. The goal of the project is to develop genomic-based tools to estimate the genetic merit of cattle for feed efficiency to create genomic enhanced EPDs to deliver to the beef industry, according to Dr. Jerry Taylor, the Animal Science Wurdack Chair of Animal Genomics Professor at the University of Missouri-Columbia. Dr. Jon Beever, Animal Sciences Professor at the University of Illinois, explained to producers the art of animal breeding as a science. Dr. Beever said the main tools for selection are phenotype, in terms of measured performance and uniformity, breeding values (EPDs) for targeted performance, and the relatively new tool, DNA genotypes. This new tool allows producers to look at the DNA of a specific animal and try to predict its genetic merit - possibly accelerating producers’ chances of creating the best offspring. He explained that changes in the gene sequence can significantly change the outward appearance of an animal. In the cattle genome, there are three billion base pairs of DNA, of which, about 2% are contained in about 24,000 genes which can influence the growth and appearance 22 O C T O B E R 2013 of an animal. For instance, changing the sequence for one pair of genes (cattle have one copy of each gene inherited from each parent) can control the color of the animal. Think of the silver gene, which controls whether an animal is black or white. In comparison, changing just one gene pair at the myostatin locus can result in 4-6% more muscle in an animal. There are two types of traits: simple, which is 100% gene controlled, and complex/quantitative, which the environment can influence. Each gene has a small effect on phenotype and genetic merit is controlled in a cumulative fashion. Dr. Beever explained that researchers are attempting to define what is environmental versus genetic to help producers select the best parents. Heritability is the proportion of variance that is due to genetics, examples include ribeye area and marbling score which have moderate heritabilities in the range of 30 to 40%. Dr. Beever described one of the reasons selection takes so long is due to an imperfect heritability. When we select animals that have the best phenotypes, they do not necessarily have the best genotypes. He said that researchers are attempting to improve the accuracy of selection by increasing CHAROLAIS JOURNAL the accuracy of genetic prediction by using DNA markers to identify animals with the best genetic merit. Dr. Beever stated that producers will need to be familiar with these technologies in order to take full advantage of them as well as understand the relationship between these traits and phenotype when it comes to picking sires and dams. Dr. Matt Spangler, Associate Professor and Beef Extension Specialist for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, presented the results of the Weight-Trait Project (WTP), an integrated outreach project that began in 2009. This project includes participation from 24 seedstock producers representing 7 major beef breed associations. This resource, which now includes over 30,000 DNA samples, has been used to evaluate the efficacy of this technology and to advance statistical methodology for the inclusion of genomic predictors into EPDs. Dr. Spangler emphasized that the benefit of this technology is through the incorporation of Molecular Breeding Values (MBV) into EPDs in order to increase the accuracy of EPDs, particularly for young animals. He went on to emphasize that even in the context of genomic selection, routine phenotypes are critical to collect. Dr. Spangler also added that visualization aids in technology adoption. That is why the WTP began with weight traits, as producers can visualize them. The project has continued to evolve as part of the USDA Feed Efficiency project, continues to serve as a field demonstration to illustrate the efficacy of research results. The project also has educational benefits, according to Dr. Spangler, because it allows the producer to make more informed decisions. “Some of the future directions,” he said, “include feed intake/efficiency, sequence data, and marker assisted management.” Genomically enhanced EPDs and Selection Indexes were the topics of the presentation by Dr. Bob Weaber, Associate Professor and Extension Specialist at Kansas State University. He explained to the producers that by averaging the dam’s EPD and the sire’s EPD you get the pedigree estimate of a calf ’s EPD. This is a good starting point, but Dr. Weaber emphasized that we want to get the estimate closer to the true progeny difference. Data collection, whether from phenotypic records or genomic information, helps to inform the EPD predictions thereby adding accuracy. DNA markers can be a helpful source of information for improving the accuracy values of EPD; especially for traits that are hard or expensive to measure, such as disease resistance, feed intake, stayability, and reproduction. DNA markers are very useful for parentage ID and pedigree validation for seedstock producers, as well as when working with qualitative traits with an economic impact, such as horned vs. polled, color, etc. Dr. Weaber explained that a DNA marker test only provides information on part of an animal’s genetic merit for a trait since the causal variants that directly contribute to variation in a trait are not yet identified. On the other hand, the markers tag the genomic regions in which these variants reside and an EPD estimates the cumulative effect of all genes on a trait. A genomic-enhanced EPD (GE-EPD) provides producers information that increases the accuracy of the EPD and subsequent selection indexes as early as at the birth of the animal when DNA can be collected. Dr. Weaber then illustrated the flow CHAROLAIS JOURNAL of this information beginning with the producer, who collects the DNA sample and sends it to the breed association. The breed association then sends this sample to a genotype provider who uses the DNA sample for genotyping and MBV prediction. The information is then given back to the genetic evaluation service provider to be incorporated into GE-EPDs which are then given back to the producer to be used as a selection tool. Dr. Weaber concluded by telling producers “We have to change which bulls make it to the development pen.” Simply using the technology to market a few select bulls from your herd doesn’t effectively change the genetic trend of the population,” said Weaber. Using the technology to identify the bulls to develop for marketing accelerates the rate of genetic improvement. Dr. Shike, talked to the attendees from a different angle, sharing the findings from feed efficiency studies at the University of Illinois. He explained how variation in O C T O B E R 2 0 1 3 23 feed efficiency leaves room for selection opportunities and improvement. “Producers and feeders are interested in profit, and the traditional focus has been on outputs. However, we need to look at inputs and see where there is room to improve,” said Dr. Shike. According to Dr. Shike, the best measure for feed efficiency depends on whether you are talking about a feedlot or a cowherd and whether you are focusing on selection or research. Dr. Shike agreed with the other presenters that there is a need to continue to collect phenotypes in order to understand the relationship of traits and then geneticists will determine the best tools for selection. Dr. Taylor of the University of Missouri Columbia was the final speaker of the afternoon. He explained that through genomic selection, one can take a group of animals with an economically important phenotype and can then genotype them with an assay and try to estimate their genetic value/merit. So far, they have genotypes for over 5,000 animals from six breeds with highdensity SNP genotype data. Dr. Taylor clarified that genomic selection accomplishes the molecular estimation of breeding value via the estimation of genomic relationships. Researchers can genotype animals and estimate how genetically related they are 24 O C T O B E R 2013 t o animals for which data exists. If there is no relationship, then the accuracy of molecular estimates of EPDs will be zero. This explains why genomic selection does not work across breeds. By the end of 2013, they hope to have a total of 6,000 animals genotyped. This information provides data for building models which will, in turn, be given to the breed associations to aid producers. In the future, the project could become an international tool by exchanging feed intake and genotype data with other countries. J. Neil Orth, AICA Executive VicePresident, said this research “helps to strengthen the accuracy of Charolais genetic information, which gives commercial producers more confidence in selection based on tools.” He said that the AICA will continue to gather data to develop GE-EPDs. Mr. Orth further explained that AICA is in the process of building a database of 50K genotypes on 1,000 animals from members and hope to complete this by 2014. Jerry Maltby, a producer in attendance and owner of Broken Box Ranch in Williams, California, stressed the importance of this technology to both purebred breeders and feedlot operations. Mr. Maltby raises Charolais cattle and runs commercial cow/calf and feedlot operations, in addition to rice production. He said that this new technology CHAROLAIS JOURNAL affects the feedlot heavily, because producers can select calves from Charolais bulls with high feed efficiency in order to improve profits. “Feed efficiency is the new ‘buzz word,’ and feedlots know this,” said Maltby. “To develop ways to identify these animals is critical to the whole industry in terms of profitability,” Maltby continued. “Adding proven feed efficiency to our ability to grow and grade, with the reasonable calving ease on commercial cows, will keep the breed a viable choice” stated Bill Zimmerman. Zimmerman is the owner of One Penny Ranch, Foley, Minnesota and went on to say that he was “overwhelmed and pleased by the number of participants. Several people made the comment that we need to do more things like this”. “I was reluctant as any and I think we have been prudent to move into this area cautiously. However, when practicallyminded scientists like we heard here tell you these things work it’s time to get on board” said Dr. Perry. Dr. Perry added “genomics are going to enhance our ability to find better genetics at a younger age and thereby increasing our ability to improve or increase the rate of genetic progress.” Summarizing the meeting Gregorio Farias Mateos with the Charolais Charbray Herd Book of Mexico said “More tools for producers equals more answers for their questions.” Visit www.charolaisusa.com and click on the link to the field day proceedings. The Charolais on Feed Field Day presented producers from across all segments of the beef industry the opportunity to come together to network and learn more about the developing technology that could soon be an impactful tool in the beef industry. Knowledge of this up-andcoming technology could soon prove to be a game-changer in both the herd and in the pocketbook, making events like this even more helpful to producers of all ages.

Many members have responded by calling the office to get kits on progeny proven sires or highly informative dams. Guidelines for the qualifying animals are birth weight and weaning weight EPDs with an accuracy value of at least .35 and a minimum back solution EPDs for carcass traits. Many animals have been done; you can check the status of an individual animal by going to the “search” button across the top of AICA’s website (www.charolaisusa.com) and clicking “animal search.” Animals with a 50K record on file will be indicated in the box marked “50K.” All SNP and 50K records require 3 weeks to be processed through the GeneSeek lab, so please plan ahead if you need parentage testing on calves or AI sires. The process for requesting paperwork is simple, contact AICA with the registration number of the animal. We’ll generate the kit (just a sheet of paper) that can be e-mailed or mailed to you. Attach a tail hair sample or straw of semen and send it to the lab in Lincoln, Neb. The semen does not need to be kept cold, just wrap it in a way to prevent breakage. There is no charge to have the 50K test run on qualifying animals. Too busy to deal with the paperwork? No problem, send the sample directly to AICA; we’ll do the paperwork for you!

Interviewed by Chelsea Woodcock, Secretary Officers President Matt Loggains Violet Hill, AR (870) 373-0646 Treasurer Mason Lewis Monroe, IA (515) 205-9161 matthew.loggains@smail.astate.edu mason_lewis@hotmail.com Vice President Haley Stalcup Prescott, IA (641) 344-6692 Ex-Officio Megan Fink Randolph, KS (785) 410-5559 meganf1990@outlook.com hstalcup@iastate.edu Secretary Chelsea Woodcock Clovis, CA (559) 765-1092 crwoodcockn01@gmail.com Directors By Area Hey everyone. My name is Kade Beck and I am serving as Q: Area 1 Director of the Junior Board. I am from Declo, Idaho and attend Utah State University, where I am a senior majoring in Animal Science. I am really looking forward to working with the AIJCA Board again this upcoming year and am here to help when needed. Q: What has been your biggest accomplishment with the Charolais breed? A: My biggest accomplishment with the Charolais breed would have to be when I was selected to represent Area 1 on the AIJCA Junior Board. Getting to represent a breed with an ever-growing potential is an honor. The experiences that have come with being on the Junior Board have been immense, and the people I have met along the way are even better. Q: What advice can you give to juniors traveling long distances to Charolais Junior Nationals? A: My best advice, when traveling long distances, is to remember that it is all worth it. Make sure you take the time to enjoy the areas you travel through and experience new places. Looking out the window is a great way to see different parts of the country, you may have never seen before. The fact that Junior Nationals moves locations every year also means you may not have to travel as far in the upcoming years. Q: Which contest at Junior Nationals did you most enjoy running? A: My favorite contest to help run is definitely the CookOff Contest! I love seeing all the creative food dishes the participants come up with. Also, who doesn’t enjoy a contest where you get to eat all the delicious food prepared by juniors and adults, after the judging has taken place? Q: What has been the most memorable moment for you as an AIJCA Board of Director? A: I think my most memorable moment of being an Area Director was this past Junior Nationals in Texarkana. It was my first Junior Nationals as a Junior Board of Director and the experience will not soon be forgotten. Seeing all the hardwork everyone put forth to make Junior Nationals so successful will be something I remember for a long time. 32 O C T O B E R 2013 Where do you see the Charolais breed headed in the next few years? A: I think this is a very promising time for the Charolais breed. The 50K Genomic Project consists of creating a research database of 50K genotypes that will also add DNA into GE-EPD; which, will make it easier to know the accuracy of the GE-EPD when selecting females and younger bulls. This changes periodically and will only make it easier for breeders to select proven Charolais sires and continue to grow and improve the breed. Q: It’s about half way through the school semester, how do you overcome the challenges of midterms? A: I always write down all my class exams and assignments in my calendar, so I know ahead of time which weeks are going to be stressful. I begin preparing for those midterm weeks early. There is no rule against studying too early, so I take advantage of that as well. Q: With Halloween coming up, what has been your favorite costume? A: I think my favorite Halloween costume was the time I dressed up as a rodeo clown. I wore big pants that had been cut into shorts and were held up with suspenders. I tied different colored bandanas to the belt loops, colored a bulls eye on a t-shirt, wore bright red socks, had my face painted, and of course, a cowboy hat. This was definitely the most work I ever put into a Halloween costume, but it was definitely worth it. Q: What do you enjoy doing for fun? A: Some of what I like to do for fun includes golf, archery and shooting trap. I am also a huge fan of college football, so if I’m not cheering on the Utah State Aggies at the stadium, I like to plant myself on the couch and watch all the other games taking place on the weekends. I enjoy throwing the Frisbee for my dogs, and spending some time with my cattle, when I get a weekend to head back home to Idaho.

Her dam goes back to the popular Canadian herd sire “Kaboom.” She is our youngest purebred heifer, but not one to look past. This young April show heifer is bred very similar to Wells Ms Royal Temptation 234 that sold in last year’s Ten Grand to Bar J Charolais and went on to be a 2013 National Charolais Show Class Winner. Her dam is a second calver, and that first calf is a full sister and is one of our best replacement heifers we have retained.

(605) 847-4424 The tandard II DVCRakota S Female Production Sale W elcome to Vedvei Charolais Ranch’s second “Dakota Standard” Female Sale. We have Jensen Charolais Ranch and Flying JRL Ranch as guest consignors. For more than 27 years we have focused our breeding program around a balance of economically relevant traits, including moderate birth weights, high growth potential, adequate milk and fertility. Many of our herd sires were in the National Sire Evaluation Program and today we continue in the Weight Trait Project with MARC and the National Beef Cattle Consortium. The cattle will all be penned on site sale day; however, the auction will be presented on video by DVAuctions. Scott, Ryan and I have put together a great set of females for this sale. We are offering many of the same genetics you have become accustomed to in the past along with some of our newer genetics. These cattle all have a very balanced set of EPDs and we feel they will continue to do a good job for each of you. We will offer an outstanding group of cow-calf splits, a small group of fall calving cows that will calve by sale day and some of our very best bred heifers. Several of these females would be cows we would consider using as donor cows and several of the calves could be shown. All the spring calving females will be pregnancy tested prior to the sale. We will offer a complimentary lunch from 11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. with the sale starting promptly at 1:00 p.m. It will be an honor to have you as our guests in the Lake Preston area for our sale on Saturday, November 9th.
