FOREWORD

ANNIE PUMPA joins the ABS AUSTRALIA Team Annie grew up in the Riverina on a family farm outside Culcairn NSW. Her family ran a mixed enterprise, breeding commercial Angus X Simmental along with an intensive feeding program and broad acre cropping. She has a vast range of knowledge on both a commercial and seedstock level, dealing with multiple breeds through her background. She has experience in various carcass competitions, youth programs and networking throughout the industry. Through Annie’s previous role at Landmark she has a wide knowledge of animal health in many industries including beef, dairy, pig and sheep.

Annie has judged at many country shows throughout Victoria and South Australia, including Yea, Penola and Geelong Royal. She has a significant involvement and a strong interest in the showing side of the beef industry attending multiple Royal Shows throughout Australia during the year. Annie has led many Grand Champion, Supreme Champion and Interbreed Champion animals. Her most humbling achievement is leading KO Dream Q1, the calf on KO Dream N43 for the 2019

Supreme Interbreed Beef Exhibit at the Royal Melbourne Show.

Annie is a huge advocate for youth in agriculture and is currently President of the National Hereford Youth Board. In March this year, Annie represented Australia at the World Hereford Young Breeders competition which was held in conjunction with the World Conference in New Zealand. Here her team was placed as the Reserve Champion Young Breeders Team. Annie has also travelled to Canada on scholarships to seek genetics of various breeds.

Annie joins the ABS team on 1st May and we welcome her to the team. She wishes to progressively create and nurture relationships far into the future. Annie will provide support to the Beef Team initially but will be involved in all aspects of beef, dairy and Beef InFocus™ as well as all the proprietary products that ABS has on offer.

Annie’s contacts will be phone 0458 227 277, email [email protected].

Welcome to the Autumn 2020 ABS Australia Beef Sire Update.

Please use this update in conjunction with the ABS Australia 2019-20 Sire Directory.

This Autumn Update introduces new sires to the ABS lineup. In Angus there are 2 new sires, the $160,000 Australian record price Angus bull 29AN2123 Millah Murrah PARATROOPER P15 and the top selling bull at the Coonamble Sale, 29AN2161 Coonamble INVESTMENT P20. There are three new Wagyu Japanese full blood sires. One of these is 29KB0009 Arubial BOND Q007, perhaps the best young carcass sire the breed has yet seen!

This Update includes a review of the Hereford True Genetics Super Sire Program feature sire, Wirruna Matty M288. Also, this Update introduces graduates of the highly acclaimed ABS HCR program. This program has identified sires that have consistently rated 8 to 15% higher conception rates in FTAI. Think of the decreased cost of pregnancies; and the bonus of more earlier calving cows and increased production in your operation.

ABS’ sexed semen product Sexcel® is further explained and we introduce new sires available. Consider the advantages to increase the number of heifer calves in your next calf crop and

the ability to increase female numbers into the herd as Australia rebuilds the national herd.

The new price list has some changes and some pleasant surprises. ABS Australia has a diverse range of sorted male and female semen and ABS Sexcel female semen available. It is best to call the beef team for updates on pricing, new inclusions and availability.

The recently announced results of the NHIA annual survey again provided much pride with the ABS Australia Beef team retaining the number one ranked position. ABS also holds positions 1, 3 and 4 for the Angus sires with the most progeny registered in the previous two years. In fact, ABS holds 6 of the top 10 positions!

During the COVID-19 pandemic ABS Australia is an essential business, so domestic semen sales and dispatches continue, as do international imports and exports. Unfortunately, the pandemic has meant a postponement of our biannual Beef Conference and Client Days which were scheduled for this winter in Northern NSW and Southern Queensland with guest speaker Matthew Cleveland, ABS Global Beef Team Manager. Also, ABS Australia staff have been directed to work from home and curtail farm visits so please contact us via phone, email, social media or Skype. We hope to hold our Spring Open Day to visit the bulls at TLG in October.

Despite the current pandemic and many economic concerns, agriculture and the beef industry have a tremendous opportunity and upside. At ABS Australia, such is our belief in the industry, we have great pleasure in appointing Annie Pumpa to the ABS Australia team. I am sure many of you will enjoy a chat with Annie as she starts on May 1 and initially contact will be by phone and email.

The ABS Australia team is available and ready to assist cattle breeders, so please feel free to contact us.

purchased by Oldfield Angus, WA in September 2019A heifer’s calf descended from Ela A204 (Kruse Time K400’s dam) Paratrooper

displays incredible fleshing and doing ease with tremendous agility and structure

Sold at 19 months, Paratrooper weighed 840kg in a 6-frame score, emphasizing the superb carcase shape, muscle and softness he possesses. In his 50-bull contemporary group, P15 scanned #2 for both EMA and IMF, confirming his obvious visual carcase strength

Paratrooper is by EF Commando, fast establishing a reputation as a sire of sires. The bottom side of the pedigree features a who’s who of maternal Angus legends, with Highlander of Stern, MM Woody W100, Matauri Reality, Crusader of Stern and Hingaia 469 all in the mix

Complementing Paratrooper’s structural, phenotypic and pedigree excellence, he also owns a brilliant, balanced EBV set, reflective of the all-round potency the industry requires of the Angus breed today

Paratrooper presents a genuine blanket mating option for Seedstock and Commercial operations. He is ideal for a wide range of modern Angus bloodlines including: Emperor, Hallmark, Klooney, Regent, Gatsby, Kingdom, Equator, Elevator, Loch Up, Edmund, Honour and many many more.

Breeder Comments - Ross Thompson, Millah Murrah AngusBREAKING NEWS: The 1st 34 Paratrooper calves have arrived at Millah Murrah. All calves born unassisted, including 10 from heifers. Gestation length average: 274.5 days. Birth weight average: 37.6kg. Calves at five weeks of age look exceptional, with the straight, wide tops and stylish outlook we are looking on P15 to deliver.

The beginning of the national female herd rebuild is seeing unprecedented demand for our Sexcel sexed female genetic technology. In order to maximise profit from your AI program, you may wish to adopt the following “60/40” strategy to increase the maternal strength of your herd with sexed semen, while combining conventional semen to maintain strong growth and carcass performance from the same program.

Here’s how it works!1. Implement a Fixed Time AI program as part of

your standard beef breeding program

2. Apply heat patches and monitor signs of oestrous over a 56-72 hour period

3. Animals who display strong signs of oestrous, or who display near or fully activated heat patches (roughly 60%) are AI’d with Sexcel sexed female semen

4. Remaining 40% of animals are AI’d with gold or platinum High Conception Rate (HCR) conventional semen in a blanket AI program with GnRH shot.

How Sexcel Performs

Our trials show that Sexcel™ achieves a higher relative conception rate when compared to conventional semen, than other sexed genetic products available on the market. *

* Reliable conception rate (RCR) measures conception rate of sexed semen compared to conception rate of conventional semen from the same sires.Data is taken from inseminations on dairy heifers with pregnancy checks at 30-90 days. This data does not reflect a head to head trial. Data source: Sexcel data is from a 2016 ABS field trial. Stud A, B, C, D, E data is from customer commercial results 2014-2017 reported through the ABS Real World Data® database for the major bull studs in the AI industry.

Rankings ExplainedEconomics of HCR

Up to 10% higher conception rate based on thousands of HCR records across multiple herds.

Up to 7% higher conception rate based on minimum 1000 HCR records across multiple herds.

Up to 3-5% higher conception based on minimum 500 HCR records across multiple herds.

Consider a Fixed Time AI program with 400 females.A platinum ABS HCR sire will cost an average $1/dose more than a standard commercial sire.

Premium cost of semen over 400 animals = $400HCR Platinum sire delivers 10% more AI calves = 40 extra calvesValue added at conservative $150/calf = $6000 increase in value of calf crop

ABS’ High Conception Rate (HCR) program has been a fascinating project to research, design and implement to the Australian beef market over the past 3 years. We have collected and thoroughly analysed over 26,000 conception rate results across both ABS sires, as well as sires offered by other semen providers, to identify ABS sires

that consistently achieve between 8 to 15% higher in conception rates in fixed time AI programs. With pregnancies delivering a 4 times great economic impact than any other

trait, low conception rates are the antithesis of any beef program’s profitability, and this is what has made our Graduate HCR Sires so popular over the past 12 months!

TOTAL LIVESTOCK GENETICS BULL VISIT POLICY

TLG has been very accommodating to visitors in the past, but with the higher number of bull collections and high demands of bio-security a new visitation policy is now in place.

TLG will hold an annual bull viewing day.

Other visits to view bulls at TLG must be made with the bull owners. TLG requires 7 days notice and bull owners must attend with the visitors.

ABS Australia continues to remain in the No. 1 industry position for beef semen sales in Australia.

The NHIA (National Herd Improvement Association) semen sire survey, to which all member A.I. companies submit their annual returns, showed ABS Australia Beef has 42% of the domestic sales and 67% of export sales.

In the Angus breed, sires from ABS Australia currently hold the top four registration positions with EF Complement as the No. 1 registration sire of progeny, a position Complement has held for the previous 36 months. Te Mania Emperor, Pathfinder Genesis and LD Capitalist fill positions 2,3 and 4. ABS Australia boasts 6 of the top 8 with Matauri Reality and Millah Murrah Loch Up in positions 7 and 8. A big thank you to the Australian beef producers for your support.

ABS Australia continues to research and implement programs and hold information meetings for cattle breeders. We have a great passion for Fixed Time A.I. [FTAI] and articles of interest are on pages 52 to 53 in this directory. Over the next 12 months we will be conducting more workshops on FTAI. We know synchronization is a profitable management tool for beef producers, providing great gains in calving intervals and genetic growth. Call us if you require the ABS Australia FTAI booklet.

In recent years we have held open days at TLG for breeders to view the ABS bulls. These have been highly successful events and appreciated by all who attended. Stay tuned for the next open day which will be announced via the ABS Australia Website, social media pages and email.

The ABS Australia beef team has traveled extensively Bill hosted an USA tour last September. In May Bill and Fletch again heading to USA for the ABS Worldwide Beef Management Conference. Bill then hosted another group for a short tour in the USA.

The beef team always are attending Royal Shows and the Beef Week Days in SA, Victoria and Northern and Southern NSW. The team members enjoy catching up with breeders and their cattle.

This directory features ABS’s new and improved sexed genetics product, ABS SexcelTM refer to page 14. We offer more new sires this year. Review pages 30 and 31 for the update to ABS’s HCR Program.

Please review the semen price list on pages 26 & 27. Commercial breeders should be encouraged by the expanded list of available sires.

From time to time updates and specials will be available via the ABS Australia website, social media pages and email.

A final note, with the increased global sales, the inventory level of some bulls may result in low stocks or being unavailable, so please consider your bull selections and place your orders early.

Please contact Fletch, Kim or myself for assistance.
