Greetings,Fall is upon us and the

temperature and settings are starting to change. I can relate and feel like the season for Maine genetics is changing as well. Just like the changing of the seasons, throughout the year the demand for a specific breed’s genetics is ever changing. Whether it’s the economy, the environment, or consumer demand, each one of these things directly impact beef trends. In this article I would like to examine historically why these changes in breed’s popularity take place and what can we do to grow and sustain our spot in the market?

Summary on U.S. Beef Breed Events Even from the inception of beef

cattle production in the United States, nature has played a major role in types of beef cattle that were utilized. In the beginning survival of the fittest was the selection tool. The first cattle in the U.S. were creole and Spanish cattle which were selected for thriftiness and their ability to reproduce with limited resources.

Through the years these fundamental traits of beef production were and continue to be major factors in selection. In the 1800s the importation of British breeds to improve the established native cattle was utilized with Brahman cattle in the southern region. This is some of the first steps in establishing the type and traits of today’s beef cowherd.

As the U.S. has progressed with technology, this has provided for more efficiency in agriculture (providing surplus) and also more household income available to purchase food by the general public. So with these changes we go from the early type when cattle were fattened on grass who finished at a much older market age to an era of surplus grain that could be fed to fatten cattle and enable them to reach their endpoint at a much younger age. The previous type that could finish on grazing and small amounts of grain created a wasteful, less efficient product when we went to a feedlot setting. This brought on the need for more growth and muscle genetics which ushered in the Continental breeds.

Headquarters

by Blake Nelson, executive vice president

American Maine-Anjou Association (AMAA) Mission StatementThe AMAA will promote Maine-Anjou genetics that provide superior, value added performance, docility and carcass excellence for the beef industry, while also providing expanded membership services for adult and junior members.


The late 1960s saw the importation of Maine-Anjou, Limousin and Simmental just to name a few. These breeds provided explosive growth and carcass yields that had not been seen before in U.S. beef production. This increase in the amount of beef that was being produced opened the door for surplus that could be exported.

Let’s not forget about the push for a leaner product by consumers during this period. All of these things brought on the demand for continental genetics. Although the British breeds had definitely not went away they were not as in vogue during this era. Then in the 1990s a strong economy in both the U.S. and abroad began driving the demand for a quality driven product. This brought on the strong re-emergence of Angus and Hereford as the demand for a high marbling product had increased. Extreme selection pressure to obtain premiums in this quality based market has also let emphasis on some important economic traits diminish.

As I have stated many times and market data will confirm, the selection for these marbling easy fattening cattle has led to a substantial increase in yield grade and dressing percentage issues within the industry. I have briefly gone through our history to ignite some thought on how we have reached today’s beef cattle scene.

So where do we go from here? How do we position ourselves to thrive? I would start off by asking the question “Are you producing cattle that you like or cattle

that your customer’s need?” As stockmen we all can get hung up on our own tastes and sometimes forget about the ultimate goal of producing cattle that will be in demand and have a positive impact on the beef industry. Your customers are impacted by the value of their calf crops when they are marketed, that value is set by current demand which is driven by the economy. Comfort and predictability are also big factors that can impact our customer’s thoughts. Traditionally, the majority of cow-calf producers has been focused on just getting calves on the ground easily and has them wean off heavy and understandably so. Market analysis and industry leaders suggest that producers must take a more holistic approach to genetics in the future. This will become the norm, when endpoint value of our cattle will impact the markets throughout the beef chain. This thought process can help our breed, Maine-Anjou can provide substantial carcass value and our modern type can consistently provide problem free, moderate made, black hided cattle that can meet demands at any marketing point for our customers.

So as we move forward, I hope that you will consider what your cattle can provide the industry and select genetics accordingly. We can fill the call to improve current carcass yield concerns but we must also provide a consistent, problem free product with predictability.

The AMAA home office has made steps to improve our genetic predictability with the move to

AGI and our sequencing project to enhance the data that is reported on your cattle. I hope that you are using this data or will consider the use of these predictions along with your current selection plan. We must continue to produce good cattle, but they must have the genetics and data to provide confidence to our customers. If we can build confidence with Maine genetics the demand for our cattle will flourish.

This year has been a building year for the breed with vital projects and also gaining industry acceptability. I am excited about what the future holds for Maine-Anjou!

I would like to remind all of you about our great sale that will be taking place at the National Western Stock Show in Denver, Colo., on Jan. 13, 2018. The Bright Lights Sale is full of tremendous herd sire prospects, a select group of female and breed leading Maine genetics. Please check these out and if you need a catalog or assistance, give us a call.

Thank you for a great year at AMAA and we wish for all of you to have a happy and blessed Christmas and New Year!

Happy Holidays,BlakeMAINE-ANJOU- Vision, Vigor,

Value!

COMMERCIAL CONNECTIONAmaaFall is quickly turning into the

winter and we are headed toward Denver and the first of two sponsored bull sales put on by the AMAA. That means I have already spent a year in my position, and it sure seems to have flown by - so many breeders already visited and yet so many still to see in the upcoming year.

Making the switch from academia to a career in the cattle industry with a breed association has been an awesome experience. The Maine-Anjou breed has seen growth and potential over the last year with the help of feedout programs, the bull testa and the Maine-Angus program coming on line. Not to mention the continued work towards genomically enhanced EPDs and our genetic evaluation being completed by the American Angus Association.

All of that growth has happened in such a short time and has given us data that we can use to help promote the breed for the better. It has also helped us build momentum towards the next year and our continued promotion of the breed we are involved in.

I try to pay close attention to what the fed cattle industry does. There are market signals based on a strong influx of maternal genetics into the commercial cow base. It is apparent that the commercial cattleman has achieved a strong quality grade advantage by doing so, and by default have created a lack of focus on yield grade.

So many breeds try to promote that they can be everything to everyone. Although I think larger breeds have more opportunity to accomplish this, due to a wide range of genetics allowing for greater selection diversity within their specific breed, they still can’t do everything. Cattle breeds have their strengths and weaknesses so they can be correctively mated

and make a product that is as close to fault free and well-rounded as possible. For us, it’s lean muscle growth and a commitment to maintaining the black hided advantage. This allows producers to capitalize on branded beef programs that are out there and available to them.

I recently reflected on some thoughts as to the marketing scheme we should take going into the New Year. It’s apparent to me that the biggest way to gain ground is to tell our story better. We have many positive stories that have led to success in the cattle industry for you as breeders and your customers. Many individuals outside the breed think of it in a negative nature; however, we aren’t the same breed we were 20 or 30 years ago.

We are more in touch with the times. Even if we have struggled to increase our breed EPDs by turning in data, we have still stayed with the times. So much so that I think we should go forward labeling ourselves “Modern Maine-Anjou” because we have certainly progressed. We have cattle that are functional, long lasting, efficient, lean growing, yield grade driven, and still we have bloodlines in our breed that we can label as maternal. We know that when used as a terminal sire on a British-based cowherd we can make a difference for the better in terms of carcass merit and in turn strengthen the bottom line for the producer.

It’s important that you as breeders take advantage of our social media page that we have as an association. We need to know when calf reports go well or bull sales are strong. Most recently for Superior Auctions video sales in western Kansas, there were Maine sired cattle listed as such in the lot description. These cattle

topped the market for that day, in all three weight groups. They were the high selling lots. So many say that Maine cattle aren’t profit generating. That statement couldn’t be further from the truth. The market signal is for leaner growing cattle that will have fewer issues from a yield grade standpoint. We are one of just a few breeds that can make that change.

The time really is now for Maine-Anjou to make a strong stance in the market. The cattle industry is calling for a change and we can deliver. I have really enjoyed my first year working for the AMAA. Even though I am the commericial director by title, I see myself as much more than that. I grew up showing cattle and being active. For me, I really enjoyed getting to help Lindsey this summer with junior national and helping with the junior board. I have tried to spend time some good time visiting breeders and being on the road. Although I was able to cover a lot of ground, I know there are still breeders I need to get to and I look forward to those visits as I continue through the rest of this year and into 2018. I truly enjoy my job, the colleagues I work with, and the breeders and cattle we work for. It has been an incredible first year and I look forward to many more promoting “MODERN MAINE-ANJOU”.

announcements


rusH orDersIf you are selling an animal, we

ask that you register and transfer the animal in a timely manner to avoid extra charges and to assure buyers they are purchasing from a reputable business person.

Rushes will be done in the order received; a rush fee is currently $50 (covers eight head). If rush work is faxed, it will be considered a rush unless otherwise specified. it is the breeder’s responsibility to give us a follow-up phone call to make sure the work is legible and to cover all fees. it is not our office staff ’s responsibility to call breeders that fax in registration work. no work will be released until payment is complete.

Rush work is processed ahead of the regular work that is received in our office and mailed by regular mail within one to two business days. We will do our best to complete rush work that is received in our office by 2 p.m. (Monday – Friday). there is no same-day turnaround. if requiring a registration number only, it will still be considered a rush as we still have to process the work to obtain the number.

If you need to have registrations sent out by overnight delivery, there is an additional fee (in addition to the rush fee) for sending overnight. We normally use Federal Express (Fed Ex) and the charges are based on Fed Ex fees at that given time. Again, let us emphasize, it is your responsibility to contact our office to make arrangements for overnight delivery so that we have the correct shipping address and payment before sending. Fed Ex WiLL not deliver to a post office box.

For big weekend events, such as state expos, we reserve the right to require work to be in our office no later than 2 p.m. on the Wednesday prior to that weekend’s show.

Dna, tH anD pHa requirementsPrior to registering any ET

calves, all donor dams (including commercial or non-registered dams) must have DNA, TH and PHA on file in our office. Also, all AI sires are required to have the same on file. Therefore, our office will hold any ET registrations submitted out of dams without testing on file as well as all registrations out of AI sires that do not have complete testing on file.

The DNA, TH and PHA testing can be done at GeneSeek. A submission form is found on our Web site, maine-anjou.org, under Genetics.

Maine-Anjou samples are put into testing at GeneSeek on Wednesdays, please plan accordingly when submitting. Testing is typically taking three-four weeks after beginning processing. We would like to start sending the test results by e-mail only, please make sure we have an up-to-date e-mail address for you, if applicable.

new self billing worksHeetPlease dispose of any old self-

billing worksheets and registration forms you may have to avoid work being held for price differences.

program when submitting a new membership. The two programs that are offered are MAPP and Breeders Choice. You may read

about these two programs by visiting maine-anjou.org and clicking on “Member Services” and then choose the “MAPP or Breeders Choice” option. If a membership is submitted without choosing a program, the new member will be placed in the Breeders Choice program.

founDation animalsNon-registered bulls and females

must be entered as a foundation animal prior to MaineTainer progeny being registered. All current “P” (performance only) cattle will be grand-fathered into the program. If the sire is an AI sire and registered at another breed association, the pedigree and testing must be on file with the AMAA. The charge to add a sire pedigree will be a one-time charge of $40. If the AMAA finds that the pedigree has already been paid for by another breeder, the $40 charge will not be applied. Dams registered at another breed association may also be added for a one-time charge of $25. See the new self-billing sheet for foundation fees.

bull calf registrationIf registering a bull calf born

after Jan. 1, 2014, it must be TH/PHA free by parentage or have testing completed prior to registering and on file with the AMAA. Carriers will no longer be registered, but may be entered as a foundation animal. All progeny out of a Foundation carrier bull needs to be tested free of that defect prior to registration. If registrations are submitted before testing has been completed, the animal will not be registered. Instead, the animal will be given a performance number at a non-refundable penalty charge of $10. Once the animal has been tested the registration may be completed at the regular rate. Please plan accordingly as testing can take up


to three-four weeks.

online transfersWhen transferring an animal

on line make sure there is not a member number already created for the buyer. Creating more than one number for an individual creates registration problems later. If you find the buyer in the system at a different address please notify the buyer first to confirm the address and then notify the Maine office to update the account. It is always a good idea to always search for the buyer using the search tools before doing the work that way if they have a different address it is caught before entering the registration and transfer.

When creating a new profile for a buyer please make sure to never give a junior a farm name. Please enter the junior’s name on the farm line and also as the contact.

online registration DiscountsA 10 percent discount on

registration fees will be given to all active members registering online (discount does not apply to annual dues, new memberships, MAPP fees or foundation animals). If you have not created an online account, you may do so by visiting maine-anjou.org, select the green tab that says “Login”, select “Create Account”, enter your current breeder number, enter your e-mail address, verify your e-mail address and enter a password of your choice. You will then be automatically logged in to your account. You may view your current inventory, cancelled animals you no longer have, register and transfer animals and enroll your MAPP online if you are a current MAPP member.

purcHase registration blocksYou may purchase registration

blocks of 15, 25, 50, 75 and 100 at a discounted rate. These blocks are prepaid registrations and may only be used for animals under 13 months of age. Any unused blocks expire December 31 of each year. See the new self-billing worksheet for pricing. Multiple discounts will not be allowed. If you register online, the block discount (the greater discount) will be applied at checkout.

2018 mapp enrollmentThe 2018 MAPP (Maine-Anjou

Performance Program) will be open starting September 1, 2017 and will be due no later than December 15, 2017. All members that are in the program will need to log into Digital Beef and select “MAPP Inventory” on the left side tool bar. Only enroll the animals that are bred to calve for 2018. If inventories are not completed by December 15, 2017 Maine-Anjou will bill for all active (breed able) dams within your inventory. Once the bill has been generated there will be no invoice adjustments so it is very important to maintain your inventory each year. If you would rather submit your inventory by mail please call Donna Grame and she will mail the inventory to you in September.

Jim Opperman, At-Large

Andy Jones - Region 1

History of your operation/family and involvement with the Maine-Anjou breed:

Andy got involved in the Maine-Anjou breed when he started showing and took a liking to it immediately. Jones tried learning and studying pedigrees and now continues to raise Maine and Maine-influenced cattle along with his wife and kids, brother and his family and mother. Andy’s family has a strong passion for Maine-Anjou cattle and a drive to improve not only their herd but to try and make a positive impact on the Maine breed as a whole, that was instilled in him by his late father.

What do you see as the strengths of the Maine-Anjou breed and how can those strengths best be used in today’s beef industry?

The biggest strengths of the Maine-Anjou breed are how well it blends performance/feed efficiency with the docile maternal ability of the cows. Jones feel strongly that the success of any operation starts with the momma cow. “The Maine breed can provide you with excellent milking cows, which in turn allows offspring to perform and convert feed efficiently. Additionally I feel Maine-influenced cattle can help tremendously with hybrid vigor.”

What does your present operation do to promote Maine-Anjou genetics, whether it be locally, state, regional or national?:

Currently Jones raises and sells Maine and Maine-influenced show calves every fall in several of their sales and exhibits at the state, regional and national shows and looks forward to getting his kids involved in one of the best youth association programs that give kids the opportunities to learn, grow and succeed.

Beau Ebersole - Region 2

History of your operation/family and involvement with the Maine-Anjou breed.:

The Ebersole family has been breeding Maine-Anjou cattle since the early 1970’s. The breeding program started out as Ebersole Brothers which consisted of Beau’s dad and his brothers. Ebersole Cattle Company started in 1998 when Beau, and wife Shanen graduated from Iowa State University and began building their own herd. Currently their operation consists of around 100 Fullblood and percentage Maine-Anjou cows. Their goal has always been to focus on moderate, easy fleshing cows with structural soundness and good milking ability. The last five years they have shifted their focus more to the Fullblood side of things. “We are working to make a more modern type that is an outcross to the lines that are currently being used.” Their children, Adelyda, Jolene and Wyatt exhibit Maine-Anjou cattle at local, state and national shows. Beau is currently serving his fifth term on the Iowa Maine-Anjou Association where he has been a past president.


Beau believes that the strength of our breed lies in its ability to make all other breeds better. Whether it’s maternal ability, carcass traits, or docility, this breed can bring something to the table with any cross-breeding program. Beau believes that if we as breeders focus on performance oriented cattle and have the data to back them up we can regain a foothold in the beef industry. “The only area that there is opportunity for growth is in bull sales, but we have to produce a product that

commercial cattleman want and give them a reason to use it.”

What does your present operation do to promote Maine-Anjou genetics, whether it be locally, state, regional or national?

Lately Beau and his family have been making an effort to exhibit at more of the national shows. “We are the only family that has brought Fullbloods to the National Jr Show every year that they have had a show.”

DJ Folkerts - Region 2


Folkerts started Eastview Maines in the late 1990’s after purchasing some Maine females and a couple black Maine bulls to start his purebred herd. From there, he started raising and selling some purebred bulls. The herd has grown and evolved throughout the years and continues to promote the Maine-Anjou breed through selling bulls and has added an elite female sale in the fall. Plus his feeder cattle that he raise go to a cattle feeder that collects growth and carcass data that is returned to him to help with his selecting genetics that work in the feedlot as well!

Folkerts and his wife, Amy, have four children, Kendra, Rylee, Maesa and Charlie. “The kids love showing cattle and enjoy 4-H quiz bowl and livestock judging contests. Showing at the Maine Junior Nationals is a highlight of the show year!”


The Maine-Anjou breed is a hidden secret in the cattle industry. The Maine-influenced female is such a great producer in all aspects of the industry. Commercial cow

Board Profiles


herd or seedstock producer, it’s hard to beat a high quality, Maine female. The Maine-influenced feeder cattle can flat get it done in the feedlot and on the rail! This is the area that we need to expand into the heart of the commercial herds. Maine cattle grow and perform in the meat aspects of the industry. Maine bulls are the backbone of the two areas he mentioned above. “Making high quality cattle in all aspects of the beef industry!”


Eastview Maines participates in selling bulls at NWSS in Denver, BHSS in Rapid City,S.D., and at the Watertown Farm Show in South Dakota. Plus they sell bulls off the farm private treaty. They have a female sale in the fall, selling select heifer calves and bred heifers. Folkerts is the secretary/treasurer of the South Dakota Maine-Anjou Association and support/donates to the Maine show classes at the Minnesota Beef Expo.

Comments:I have been involved with Maine

cattle for over 20 years now. I really enjoy raising Maine-Anjou cattle, our main area that we have concentrated on is raising high-percent bulls and females. That has been our bread and butter! I also enjoy working with fellow Maine breeders and customers! The best people to work with in the world are in the cattle industry!

Leon Matlock - Region 3


Leon started out when he was growing up as a part of a second generation cow/calf operation and has spent his entire life in the cattle business. Even as he completed his degree in Agronomy, he actively helped with the family and then his own cattle operation. His family now is on their fourth generation in the cattle business, three generations of which are actively raising and showing Maine-Anjou cattle. Leon has been involved with the Maine-Anjou breed on a national level for over 20 years. He has served as the President of the Oklahoma Maine-Anjou Association for several years and is currently still involved as the Maine-Anjou breed representative for the Oklahoma State Fair and Oklahoma Youth Expo. He also serves as the Maine-Anjou steer superintendent for OYE & Tulsa State Fair.


Some of the strengths that drew Leon to the Maine-Anjou breed are their maternal traits, temperament, growth rate and carcass yields. Maine-Anjou cattle have the genetics that give them the ability to add substance and depth to any breeding program. Every cattle breeder is looking to improve their weight gain and carcass yield which in turn will help them improve their bottom line and those breeders choose Maine-Anjou cattle for that reason.

What vision for the future do you hold from the Maine-Anjou breed and what steps are necessary to realize that vision?

Matlock’s vision for the future of the Maine-Anjou breed is the continual growth of the commercial sector and an increased demand for Maine-Anjou genetics by the commercial breeders. Continued Maine-Anjou dominance in the showring will also help bring attention to the desirability of Maine-Anjou cattle for their breeding programs. In order to realize that vision it will take continued and increased marketing by the AMAA, as well as every Maine-Anjou breeder to increase the notoriety of the Maine-Anjou breed for exceptional genetics.

What does your present operation do to promote Maine-Anjou genetics, whether it is locally, state, regional or national?

Leon stresses the need for reliable, quality genetics in all of the cattle he produces. He has helped numerous youth start their show cattle programs with Maine-Anjou cattle. When people see animals being exhibited that are good natured as well as genetically sound, they are naturally drawn to that breed. He has been presenting Maine-Anjou genetics to the public since 1990, when he and his son began showing them. “We have repeat customers who always come back to purchase Maine-Anjou bulls and cows to use as the cornerstone of their commercial breeding programs.” Matlock has also contributed as a sponsor, organizer and participant with junior national shows since 1992. His operation has over 20 years of promoting Maine-Anjou genetics.


Brian Fox - Region 3


Fox has been involved directly with the Maine-Anjou breed since 2007, but has have been around show cattle his entire life. In 2007 Fox had the opportunity to move with his wife, Paula, to Fort Morgan, Colo., and become the manager of Blind Badger Ranch. In 2007 BBR was running about 350 cows, flushing a few cows and had just completed their first production sale. Since then, they have evolved to about 700 cows with an extensive ET program and are preparing now for their 12th production sale. “As we have evolved our focus has always stayed primarily Maine-Anjou.”


Growing up, Fox always knew the positive attributes the Maines brought to the table, but also heard some of the fallacies that they have taken a bad rap for. It wasn’t until he began working with them every day at BBR that he was really blown away by their abilities to perform and be such a well-rounded breed. “Their ability to perform in the arid, dry, short grass country we live in is a true testament to the breed. We also live in big country where the Maine cattle are expected to cover large pastures, so their structural integrity is a huge focus of ours. The Maine cattle that are easy keeping and sound are ultimately the females that go on to milk and produce bigger calves, along with breeding back in a timely matter.”


We have always been supporters of the Maine breed and Fox truly believe in their abilities to perform in the pasture, feed yards and show rings. We have always tried to send steers and bulls to the feed test trials, to further gain knowledge for ourselves and our breed. We have also been heavily involved in the show ring as well. What started as helping Taylor and Tori Hett with their show stock when Fox first started at BBR, has now turned into an entire family of breeders and friends throughout the breed. In 2014 with his wife, along with the support of the owners of BBR, Jim Hett and Bud Gamel, Fox started the Rocky Mountain Maine-Anjou Association which consists of breeders and exhibitors of Maine cattle in both Colorado and Wyoming. They have been able to raise money through various activities so that they can help provide scholarships to young people along with helping out with some of the expenses to go to junior nationals and present awards at local shows. Ultimately, we have used the RMMAA to continue to educate and support the Maine-Anjou breeders in Colorado and Wyoming.

Jim Opperman - At-Large


Jim Opperman started breeding Maine-Anjou cattle in 1980 by breeding their family’s cross-bred cows to leading AI sires. Since breeding Maine-Anjou cattle, Opperman has promoted them by testing his bulls in the Iowa Cattlemen’s’ Bull Test, selling breeding cattle at the Iowa Beef Expo and participating in national steer and bull trials.


Opperman feels that one of the biggest strengths of the Maine-Anjou breed is docility. A popular comment from bull customers is that they like the disposition of the bulls, which equates to satisfied, repeat customers. The docility in our females makes for excellent mothering ability, which raises fast gaining, heavy calves at weaning time. More producers are using Maine-Anjou genetics due to our cows longevity and the easy going, good doing bulls.

What vision for the future do you hold from the Maine-Anjou breed and what steps are necessary to realize that vision?

Opperman looks for the Maine-Anjou breed to be accepted nationally by commercial cattlemen for calving ease, brood-cow longevity and feeder calves excelling in the feed yard. Opperman feels we can accomplish this by producing and promoting our calving ease sires that excel with carcass merits through DNA selection.

What does your present operation do to promote Maine-Anjou genetics, whether it is locally, state, regional or national?

Opperman promotes Maine-Anjou genetics through national bull and steer trials, exhibiting breeding stock at national and state shows and selling breeding stock at the state and local level. He has sever as treasurer of the Iowa Maine-Anjou board for the past three years and serves as the Maine-Anjou sale manager at the Iowa Beef Expo.

In this final article in the series, The Cycle, we reach the Pre-Calving Period (90 days prior to calving) where we see a significant increase in nutrient requirements for the cow. 70% to 80% of fetal development occurs during the last trimester of gestation which results in a tremendous spike in fetal protein requirements. If nutrition from the combination of our feed and supplement program does not meet this increased requirement resulting from fetal development, we run the risk of poorly developed calves, reduced vigor, reduced colostrum value to properly develop the calf ’s immune system and a host of other problems.

As we discussed in the last issue, body condition at calving determines our ability to get the female to return to estrous 90 days prost calving. Because of the increasing requirements of the fetus, it becomes critical that our nutrition ramp up during this

THE CYCLE:Pre-Calving

period. Transitioning from feed during this period may be required. The challenges of weather (in a spring calving cow herd for this discussion) now begin to manifest themselves nutritionally in the need for more energy.

While this need can be fulfilled with grain, care should be taken to ensure that the rumen microbes which digest cellulose from forage are not replaced with starch digesting microbes. This ruminal upset can result in numerous problems to include poor fiber digestibility to acidosis. The better way to combat the temperature swings from cold nights to warm days and vice versa, is by feeding a higher TDN roughage with an NDF value from 45-50%, along with a quality supplement which will increase fiber digestibility and nutrient utilization. Addressing this energy need at this time of year and stage of gestation is important. Energy requirements

will increase by 1% from the “thermal normal requirement” for every 1 degree of temperature drop and by 2% if there is moisture present. Example: If the daytime temperature is 35 degrees and it drops to zero overnight with snow, then the energy requirement has increased 70% in that number of hours. If our feeding program does not account for this, then the cow will begin to use body reserves to make up the difference which over time can result in reduced weight gain and body condition score. This in turn will affect our ability to return to estrous following calving as discussed in my previous article.

Additionally, because fetal protein requirements are increasing during this 2rd trimester, the need to improve forage protein quality is apparent. Similarly, mineral requirements for several minerals are increasing, especially copper, zinc, manganese and selenium.

THE CYCLE:Pre-Calving

These minerals play a significant role in transfer of immunity, embryo development and survival, calf vigor, colostrum quality and repair of the uterine lining and return to estrous. Therefore, increasing both quality and quantity of forage during this period will not only ensure the successful development of the fetus for 2018 profitability, but will also go a long way to ensuring a great calf crop is conceived for our 2019 profitability.

At the end of the day, there are only 3 ways to increase profitability in a cow herd. First, is our cost of production. Proper management of water and feed are paramount. Combining a strong animal health program ensures disease challenges are managed. Supplementation, however, holds the key to ensuring a cow herd can optimize genetics, ensure a plane of nutrition to properly enhance the efficacy of vaccines

and finally complement and enhance the value of our standing and harvested forages through increased fiber digestibility and utilization. Second, we must strive to constantly increase the pounds of beef weaned from our property. This can take the form of tighter calving intervals, (i.e. getting more cows bred earlier), increased calf survivability and growth, or performance increases through weaning, backgrounding or preconditioning. The third way to increase profitability is through market price.

Obviously, higher calf prices result in more income. However, if we don’t properly manage the first two factors, profitability can still suffer even with higher prices. Focusing our energy and efforts on costs of production and weaning weights, which we can control, will allow market price to take care of itself.

In the final analysis, every

producer must weigh the available nutrition from the feed program to determine the level of supplementation required to optimize performance. Each of us may define optimum cow performance in many ways, but I am confident we all agree that profitability starts with a live, healthy and vigorous calf on the ground. Feed quality and quantity will vary from day-to-day and property-to-property, but the consistency and continuity of your supplementation program can give you the level of comfort and nutrition necessary to be confident that productivity and profitability will be optimized.

I encourage each reader to not look at supplementation as a cost but as a means to enhance Profitability Through Performance.

Parasites can significantly affect animal health, performance, and reproductive status. A variety of parasites can affect cattle, but are generally lumped into two catego-ries: endoparasites and ectoparasites. Endoparasites live inside the animal (e.g. worms and flukes), whereas ectoparasites live outside the animal host (e.g. lice, ticks, and flies). One example of ectoparasites are horn

flies which cost US cattle producers over $1 billion due to the decreased weight gain, feeding efficiency, and irritation caused.

Clinical Signs of ParasitesClinical signs of internal para-

sites include loss of body weight, rough hair coat, diarrhea, and weakness. These clinical signs are similar to those observed with

malnutrition. The parasites are removing blood from the animal, and reducing the ability to digest and absorb feed. Clinical signs of ectoparasites include animals rub-bing (trees, fences, etc.), hair loss, irritation, and matted ears. All of these symptoms affect the health, performance, and welfare of cattle which impact profitability.

Knowledge of ExposureEnvironmental conditions im-

pact the ability of the parasites to survive and reproduce. Warm conditions with moisture will generally allow parasites to thrive more easily compared to dry arid conditions. Knowledge of parasite exposure may affect the manage-ment decisions and frequency of application of products used to control parasites. Cattle housed in more temperate conditions may need to have more parasiticides administered compared to animals housed in dry conditions.

Lice commonly display clinical signs on cattle during the winter months. Lice will cause the cattle to rub hair off due to the severe itching. Lice are present on cattle year round, but have lower num-bers in the summer months. Lice do not survive as well in heat, sun-light, or with cattle with short hair. The lice replicate more frequently in the winter and northern climates when it is colder, shorter days, and more hair to hide. There are two types of lice: biting and sucking lice. Some products are more effec-tive at treating the biting and suck-ing lice. Knowledge of the timing of the clinical signs is necessary to develop effective control programs for each parasite.

There are also certain parasites which originate in certain geo-graphical areas as well. Liver flukes (Fasciola hepatica) are primarily found in the Gulf coast and west-ern United States in areas of great rainfall and poor drainage. The liver flukes use a snail to develop and complete part of the life cycle. The liver flukes then infest the bile duct of the liver and cause organ damage and decreased perfor-mance. Clorsulon and albendazole are effective anthelmintics for con-trolling liver flukes; however a con-trol program will only be relevant to areas infected with the parasite. Clorsulon is effective at controlling

mature flukes in the bile ducts and not immature flukes. Knowledge of the potential parasites is recom-mended though before transport-ing cattle to or from areas.

Certain parasites can be ex-tremely devastating to the animals as well as the ability to transport cattle. Texas cattle fever ticks car-ry certain protozoa which destroy red blood cells causing anemia, high fever, and enlargement of organs. The anemia causes death for a great percentage of infected animals. Knowledge of potential devastating parasites is necessary prior to transporting cattle to or from certain areas to manage risk.

Management Strategies to Reduce ExposureGrazing management strategies

and biological control have both been demonstrated to reduce para-site exposure burden. Cross-fencing and frequent moving of the cow herd is an option to reduce the ex-posure of parasites. After adminis-tration of anthelmintics, cattle can be moved to fresh areas to reduce chances of becoming re-infected. Moving cattle to clean areas may also be beneficial for reducing parasites exposure without being treated. Altering grazing species (such as sheep and cattle) may be beneficial for sheep but potentially harmful for the cattle by increasing worm concentrations.

ConclusionsParasite control programs are

important to develop for cattle. Consultation with your local vet-erinarian to develop protocols to monitor and control parasites in cattle is recommended.

Fall has always been

my favorite season for various reasons. The preparation for fall majors, harvest

season, and of course, football. Whether its Friday night lights in my hometown, Saturdays in Fayetteville cheering on the Hogs, or gathered in the living room watching the NFL on Sundays after church, football has always been something that my family enjoys. After watching so much football and going to countless cattle shows, I have noticed some similarities between the two. Just like a quarterback has an offensive line to help him get his job done, we all have a team behind us, with the goal of the backdrop in mind rather than the end zone. Football teams train hours and hours to perfect plays and become more agile, while the youth of the livestock industry train in a slightly different way. We spend hours upon hours practicing showmanship, rinsing calves, and lifting feed buckets instead of weights but with the same goal of success in mind. Typically football teams travel a decent distance to play at an away game, but the livestock industry has them beat in that aspect, where almost every show is “away” and a whole lot farther away in most cases. We put so much time and effort into this industry not just for the reward, but because it’s our way of life, our passion. As the football community plans trips for the state game, College National Championship, or the Super Bowl, we hope that you are planning a trip for the upcoming fall majors in Denver, Colo., and Fort Worth, Texas for the National Western Stock Show and Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo! And as the new year turns with these stock shows, we will also be sending out our annual Voice calendar. With that in mind, we would to extend a sincere thank you to all those who purchased ad space or dates on the calendar for our fundraiser! Hope to see you all soon!
