Ijust returned from the NationalCattlemen’s Beef Association(NCBA) Annual Convention and

Trade Show in San Antonio, TX, whichmay be the largest assembly of cattle-men and cattlewomen in the US. Over8,000 cattle industry enthusiasts attendand take part in educational and infor-mational presentations about new sci-ence and economics forecasts for ourindustry. Each day, there are a variety ofsessions addressing topics from animalhealth and technology to market expec-

tations. This trade show is a magnificentarray of agricultural displays of every-thing imaginable that cattle people use.Vendors enthusiastically share theirproduct information with interestedattendees and supply materials andadvice on what they can provide forranchers and farmers. The ASA was represented with its

newly improved booth (picturedbelow). Your Board of Directors con-vened during the NCBA Convention.

You Can Make a DifferenceThe presence of the ShorthornAssociation and Shorthorn breeders atthis major cattle event is very impor-tant. Our competition goes all out tomake an impression on future buyers ofbulls and purebred seedstock. TheShorthorn breed must stand out andmake an impression at these events, sobreeders will be telling our story as theymingle. Shorthorn enthusiasts’ presenceat these types of events sends a messageto future Shorthorn purchasers that thebreed is alive and flourishing. Peopleattract people! It is human nature towant to become part of something that

is growing.More andmore cattle

people are asking about Shorthorns.Many are looking for bulls, some haveShorthorn influenced females and needto replace them, and some are askingabout show heifers for their childrenand grandchildren. This was a very pos-itive experience for all of us who attend-ed. There is a tremendous opportunity in

the marketplace forthe rightkind ofShorthorn

genetics. Many educated cattle peopleunderstand what a Shorthorn cross cando for their program. Even more havebecome curious about the assets thisbreed can bring to their operation. Bybeing there and by looking the part, weare attracting interest in Shorthorn cat-tle not only at NCBA but at other tradeshows we attend to promote the breed.ASA Board members saw this andunderstood it. We, as a breed want asmany Shorthorn breeders as possible toattend events like this; to take on a lead-ership role that will create followers toour breed. It must be a group effort towin the battle. Plans have been made totake on the competition and to go afterour fair share of the industry marketplace and to put Shorthorns back intheir rightful position in the beef cattleindustry.NCBA may not seem important to

you as a purebred breeder. Other breedshave a contingency of breeders thatattend and make statements for the

industry to see. The base of any breed isits acceptance in the commercial indus-try. Here are some facts: 43% of thosewho attend the NCBA Convention andTrade Show are commercial breeders;10% are seedstock - purebred breeders.Ranch owners and managers make up51% of attendees. Roughly 25% of thecattle folks that attend are seedstock -purebred breeders! And 68% in atten-dance are men, with 32% women.There is as igni f icantpresence ofr e g i s t e rbreeders atthese events.This is a perfect time to make acquain-tances and learn what potential buyersare looking for. I believe everyone wouldlike to sell more bulls and have a greatermarket share. CommercialShorthornPlus type females are in great

demand. Being able to rub elbows withall aspects of the industry at one con-vention is a tremendous opportunity.Those who attend reap the benefits, askthem! We at ASA try to do as much aspossible to promote the breed and wedo, but, with the help of the member-ship, the successes will be greater. Nextyear, the NCBA National Convention& Trade Show will be called “Set Salefor San Diego”. Plan to attend if at allpossible; I hope to see you there. I knowyou are believers like the ASA staff andme. The time has come to prove it tothe industry!

The ASABoard andstaff, alongwith a large

committee are planning “ShorthornImpact 2015”, a fun educational experi-ence for Shorthorn members, breedersand anyone else interested in attending.

There will be numerous topics includ-ing the type of animal needed for spe-cific market segments of the breed andeverything from bull sales to show cat-tle. The ASA annual meeting will beheld in conjunction with this seminarthe first week of December 2015. Thelocation and exact time will be deter-mined soon. Trust me, if you are a seri-ous seedstock producer you will want toattend. There will be something foreveryone. This is one more step towardShor thornsc l a i m i n gtheir rightfulp o s i t i o nwithin theindustry!PS. Check Out Updates and Rule

AustralianShorthornAmbassador

Well it is safe to say that my firstmonth in America has been a hectic,interesting and awesome experience. Sofar I have touched down in eight states.So thank you to everybody involved inmaking the Australia / AmericaShorthorn exchange program happen.The friends I’ve already made and theamazing hospitality of all my hosts hasmade me feel very welcome. After a four hour drive to Sydney,

three flights and a total of 17.5 hours inthe skies I finally arrived in Denver.Keeping in mind that was the first timeI had ever been on a plane I was a littlebit weary. I met Derek Jungels and therest of the JSF crew who quickly intro-duced me to the American way of life. Itwas awesome to see the scale and dedi-cation shown by exhibitors at theDenver National Western. While thedirection some cattle had taken wasshocking (club calves) it was also veryinteresting to see how lucrative the showindustry had become. The Pen Showsability to align with commercial realtywas refreshing and something I reallyenjoyed.From Denver I met with the Lane

Family and departed through Kansas toJay Okla. The Lanes program aims to

produce a moderate cow that excels atcalving time. I was able to see some localcattle enterprises, visit a sale barn andspend a day with veterinarian Dr.Richard McCarver. They also took megigging, and I was lucky enough tocatch a sucker. My next destination was Dr. Jim and

Beverly Freed’s, Double J and JeepettaCattle Company herd. They run around100 Shorthorn cows on various proper-ties throughout the Chickasha area.Some impressive cattle were presentincluding sire Waukaru Thor 3063. Iwas also lucky enough to watch theThunder beat the Timberwolves atnearby Oklahoma City before headingto Turkey Feather Ranch in Ada. Fromthere I travelled with them to FortWorth for the stock show and met upwith WHR Shorthorns. An impressivegroup of Shorthorn females at FortWorth made the judging interesting. Montie Soules then picked me up

from Fort Worth and we travelled southto NCBA in San Antonio. From cattle Ihave seen at shows in America I havebecome concerned the Shorthornbreeds success as show cattle, is shiftingattention away from the fundamentalsof producing high quality beef efficient-

ly. Spending time with the ASA staffand board members instilled confidenceback into me as it is clear positivechanges are occurring to ensureShorthorn cattle remain sought after bycommercial cattlemen. The progressionof multi-breed EPDs I think is a veryimportant step towards competing com-mercially as a breed but also as an indus-try against other animal based proteinproducts. By combining data fromobjective measurement into a singlelarge database from all breeds the valueof EPDs as a selection tool willinevitably be much greater. Shorthorn’sinvolvement in this is very exciting. Thank you again and I look forward

to meeting many more Shorthorn andbeef enthusiasts as I travel across NorthAmerica during the next six months. =

While on a recent flight home fromthe National Western Stock Show inDenver I decided to set the livestockmagazines aside and read the one thatwas tucked into the seat in front of me.As I was flipping through the pages,there was an article that sparked myinterest, the title saying, “This way up,”Directly under that was the statement,“If you want to climb the ladder, putyourself in opportunity’s way.” I couldnot agree more with this statement. Inthe fast paced, crazy world that we livein today, opportunities come and go.So, why not take advantage of every

opportunity that is given to you? As a college student, I get asked

similar questions every day. And myanswer to these questions seems toalways have the same response. Oftentimes, instead of trying new things andtaking advantage of opportunity, it iseasier to stay in your comfort zone andsay, “maybe next time.” However, AndyRooney summed up this situationperfectly when he said, “Opportunitiesare never lost; someone will take theones you miss.” Now is the prime time to step

outside of your comfort zone and take

advantage of the opportunities that aregiven to you. Whether it be your dreamcollege that is five states away, thatsuperior internship that is hundreds ofmiles away from your family, or thatprestigious sale that you have beenworking towards for years; take thechance and let the opportunity berewarding. When the next opportunitycomes knocking, ask yourself why notnow? =

GeneSeek Updates for Genomic Advances in Beef ProductionRyan Ruppert, MS, MBA GeneSeek Sales Director

DNA profiling is a remarkable new tool for cattle producers. Tenyears ago, producers were mainly limited to micro-satellite-basedparentage, which relied on crude gels and visual interpretation. Today,sophisticated biochips can detect thousands of genetic markers.New DNA tests you are used to hearing about detect Single

Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs). To find these small geneticvariations for DNA profiles and parentage, we use the Sequenom MassArray or the Illumina iScan. They are highly automated, and outputdata displays via sophisticated computers. However, the new biochips do detect some types of DNA defects as

well as older technology. That is not the case for Tibial Hemimelia (TH)and Digital Subluxation (DS), two genetic health issues of interest toShorthorn breeders. TH and DS defects feature a string of genedeletions that are too long for efficient detection by SNP technology.For these tests, we use older systems that require a trained person tovisually assess the results.Usually, the visual results are a

distinct series of black and whitebands on a readout. But in rare cases,what should be a black or white markis instead a grey band. Then an actualhuman being looks carefully at theresults to make an interpretation. Howfaint is the grey? Recently, wemisinterpreted such a test. We lookedat the pale grey line and indicated ananimal was a DS carrier when insteadwe should have called the test a NoResult (NR). After looking into theresults, and rerunning the tests on anewer platform, we determined thefirst test was wrong.This has warranted a change in

change our procedures for DS testingfor Shorthorn. In the past we used theLICOR system for these, which usesolder gel-based and infraredtechnology. These tests have beenaround a long time and are affordableand robust. With this platform we hadan 88% success rate, leaving about 12% as No Results. This metric was not where we needed it to be. So we re-evaluated this

DS test with the inventor, Dr. Jon Beever, on a newer platform, theApplied BioSciences (ABI ) sequencer. Moving onto the ABI, our abilityto get a correct read the first time increased dramatically to a nearly99%, and we are rerunning all the DS test previously ran on LICORwith the ABI. We realize that all this technology discussion may be difficult to sort

out. In this one case, we made a wrong first call on an animal with theLICOR and because of a call from the breeder; we were able to correct itusing the ABI. We have now moved ASA tests for DS onto the moresensitive ABI platform. With this machine we get a 99% first-timesuccess reading.Human error and nuanced technology can combine for other rare

mistakes. A case of this occurred when we were running two batches ofTH tests. One test panel was reversed. Normally our controls wouldcatch these but they did not catch this human error. Ultimately theerrors were identified, the tests re-run and the customers were notified


of the proper results. In each case we have apologized for the errors, aswe recognize that even with difficult tests, our customers are countingon us to deliver a correct result. We have since changed how we handleand double-check these tests.At GeneSeek, we don’t want to make any mistakes, we have a

reputation for accurate testing. All our Standard Operating Procedureshave built-in controls to eliminate error. We make changes to our SOPswhen situations that were not anticipated arise. This includes the use ofpositive and negative control samples in the DNA plates and on themachines, to double-check the integrity of samples.We are constantly searching for the most effective tools that will

provide the most reliable data. GeneSeek is ISO17025 certified by theAmerican Association of Laboratory Accreditation. Our standardoperation procedures (SOPs) are followed to assure operationalexcellence.

Still, this is DNA. We operatewhere biology, with all its vast variety,meets software. And in rare instances,results can be unexpected, as was thecase with DS. We knew this was adifficult test to run and prepared usingall of our prior knowledge of defecttesting to prevent mistakes fromhappening, but an error slippedthrough the SOPs and we have sincefixed the SOPs to prevent this fromhappening again.Our lab must receive the right

sample, labeled correctly, withoutcross-contamination. Each day we getthousands of samples of all imaginable(and unimaginable) types of tissues,labeled in all manner of ways (andfrequently unlabeled). From these wetry to isolate high-quality DNA andfeed it into some of the mostsophisticated equipment in science.As a breeder, and as a breed

association, we ask that you alwaysassess your results – particularly for

parentage and defect tests – to ensure that they reasonably conform toexpectations from the pedigree. If you ever have reason to question theresults, contact your breed association. DNA technology is all around us, from fictional movies to the

realities of modern healthcare. Today we can query DNA – the essenceof life – for the cost of a quarter tank of gas, from batch of tail hairs. Weare not quite where Hollywood dramatics portray the science, but us.But the real capabilities help producers make more confident decisionsevery day. These days, DNA testing is routine, affordable and a key tool in

modern production. But, even as it has grown more accurate, it remainsa highly sophisticated, delicate science. The genome is incrediblycomplex. Its hidden patterns are invisible to all but the most advancedtechnology. What was state of the art a few years ago will be outdatedtomorrow. While perfection is the goal, everyone involved in theprocess, from the rancher to the breed association and to the laboratory,plays a role in ensuring a quality result. =

Updated Rules & Regulations• Effective January 1, 2015, EPD’s will only be available to Whole Herd Reporting (WHR) members of the American ShorthornAssociation. As a reminder, regardless of membership status of owner, an animal registered by a WHR breeder will have accessto EPDs for the lifetime of that animal.

• All A.I. Sires and Donor Dams are required to have all genetic conditions tested (TH,PHA,DS) and DNA genotype (SeekSire)completed before registration of progeny. In the event that the A.I. sire or Donor Dam is not tested, offspring can be tested formissing tests to complete registration.
