5 WELCOME TO BONGONGO ANGUS Welcome to our 2017 spring bull sale which marks the 91st year of the Graham family breeding Angus cattle. We have experienced a lot drier winter this year with some softening of demand for cattle which has been dictated by more stock on the market earlier. Regular demand for young Angus breeders is an obvious signal to serious producers to capture their share of a premium market for surplus females as the number of quality breeders are down due to export sales and other breeding options especially Waygu. Bongongo Angus is one of the oldest registered herds in Australia. Founded by the Graham brothers in H.L (Bill) and his brother Bruce Graham ran the stud from Under their guidance the herd saw a large increase in its commercial base. When H.L. (Bill) Graham died in 2012 at 90 years, his love of livestock, agriculture and family left us an indelible legacy. Generational change saw the stud pass to Bill and Shauna and their family in the late 1990 s. Bill s passion for agriculture, cattle, genetics and breeding and his huge energy and enthusiasm has seen a big growth in the stud and in its bull sales. Today we have over 900 registered breeders backed up by a very large commercial herd. It was with great pride, a few years ago that we welcomed our son Tom home into the family businesses. Tom who is also a veterinarian joined his father Bill running Coolac Veterinary Services as well as working in our large dynamic family farming enterprise. At Bongongo, we understand the key profit drivers of our commercial clients with fertility the most important. The Bongongo bulls are given rigorous pre sale Veterinary breeding soundness examination (VBBSE) followed in subsequent years by an annual VBBSE where possible. This should be a sale industry standard to maximise bull fertility and protect buyers from poor reproductive performance. All young Bongongo bulls and heifers are are run in large contemporary groups, off grass and bred to perform in this cold, temperate environment. Selection for fertility is matched by those Breedplan EBV s that affect this trait especially calving ease, gestation length, importance of positive rib and rump fat (as proven by the CRC project) to aid selection of AI sires used in the herd. These sires tend to complement the key research from the Beef CRC Maternal Productivity project released proving the importance of higher rib fat depth heifers. They have up to 8% better conception rates compared to those with lower RIB FAT EBV S. This supports what has been obvious to me for years standing behind many females. It is more obvious in the tougher years and equates to the critical importance of fertility (reproductive rate) and its effect on your enterprise profitability. It was also pleasing to note that selection for higher EMA had no effect on heifer conception rate. The emphasis at Bongongo has always been in the strength of the female herd. Bongongo females have been carefully selected for fertility, milking ability, structural soundness and length. The progeny of these cows are today in high demand by feedlots for steer calves plus commanding premium for surplus female lines. Not much has changed in 35 years as a cattle vet as fertility remains the key profit driver in your cattle breeding business and matching your herd to your environment is critical. The ability for breeders to select for key traits through ultrasonic scanning has been the single biggest development over the last twenty years giving Angus Breeders an enormous benefits for carcass selection traits. Leading Angus sires that fit these criteria are used extensively through artificial breeding to improve the genetics of our herd so our clients herds do the same! The importance of marbling (IMF) is back on the agenda as the red meat sector mobves through genetics and nutrition to supply improved eating quality and increased value down the chain. The consumer is becoming more educated, demanding and able to afford and our breed is in a tremendous position to take advantage of their requirements. Over the last year we have decided to use GENOMIC testing (Zoetis i50k test) to enhance our EBV accuracy and check the parentage of all our sale bulls. The future of breeding will involve more molecular testing through DNA. This is a great advance to develop our Breedplan EBV s into an even better world leading program. This year s bulls have plenty of genetic diversity with a very impressive group by EF Complement, Deer Valley All In, HCPA Intensity, Sterita Park Blackjack and Ardrossan Honour H255 being the predominant sires. Robert Paragreen, from Livestock Video, filmed our bulls on August 31st. His work can be viewed on a link from our website. Finally, at Bongongo we pride ourselves on our excellent after sale service so please don t hesitate to call us if you have any problems Thank you for your interest and support.

6 NOTICE TO BUYERS INSPECTION From 10.30am on the morning of the sale or any other time by making arrangements with Bill on (02) or Tom on REBATE A 3% rebate will be offered to all outside agents who introduce the client in writing to the vendor at billshauna@bongongoangus.com.au 24 hrs prior to the sale and who settle within 7 days of the sale day. REFRESHMENTS Morning tea and BBQ lunch (CAAB steak) compliments of Bongongo Angus, and any donations greatly appreciated for Bongongo Public School. There will be two portaloos at the sale or you are welcome to use the toilet in the homestead. SUPPLEMENTARY SHEET Will be available on sale day, including scrotal size measurements, weights and a map of the pens. MOBILE PHONE SERVICE No mobile phone service is recieved at the Bongongo Angus Sale Complex. HEALTH AND GENETIC TESTING All sale cattle have been checked for general health and physical soundness. The Bongongo herd has been tested free of Mannosidosis, Brucellosis and T.B. All cattle receive an annual 7-in-1 vaccination, which includes leptospirosis. All cattle are drenched early winter for liver fluke with Fasinex 120 and wormed with Ivomec Plus or Systamex as per normal management. DNA test results will be available by sale day regarding status of any bulls that are AM or NH in doubt in the catalogue. The bulls are GENOMIC tested through the i50k Zoetis test. This testing increases the accuracy of Breedplan EBVs and checks the percentage. As well, any bulls requiring testing for genetic defects AM, NH, CA or DD have been tested with results in the catalogue. BVDV PI TESTING (PESTIVIRUS) All bulls have been tested NEGATIVE by DNA testing for BVDV (Pestivirus). BULL FERTILITY All bulls have undergone a bull breeding soundness examination (VBBSE) involving: (i) Structural soundness. (ii) Testicle palpation and measurement (scrotal size). (iii) Physical examination of internal and external genitalia. (iv) Vaccination against vibriosis, leptospirosis and pestivirus. All bulls have received a double vaccination with the last dose in July MANAGEMENT It is the policy of Bongongo to raise both stud and commercial cattle under similar conditions to those that are normal for commercial beef production. Under this system all cattle share the paddocks with sheep and supplementary feeding with hay or silage is provided under tight seasonal conditions. VISUAL ASSESSMENT When choosing bulls you need to use both the EBVs and visual assessment. Visual assessment is essential to assess physical and structural soundness and is a reasonable indicator of health and temperament. EBVs are a tool that will help you to make more educated decisions when you are choosing breeding stock. Do your homework well before the sale when you have plenty of time. VIDEO AUCTION Our bulls will be sold by video auction. The bulls will not be put through a ring instead they will be sold by auction on a large TV screen. The bull pens are very close to the sale shed. This is a growing trend in the seedstock industry and is a safer environment for all concerned. The bulls will be penned from 10.30am on sale day and we strongly recommend you allow enough time to make your selection. All lots will be sold subject to the usual conditions governing auction sales. Such conditions will be posted in the yards. The auction price will be exclusive of GST. DELIVERY Every effort will be made to co-ordinate delivery after the sale to minimise transport costs. Verbal instruction will NOT be accepted. Written instructions are required using the slip in the catalogue. INSURANCE Bulls are a valuable and vulnerable piece of farm equipment. We strongly recommend purchasers obtain immediate cover. Facilities for insurance will be available on sale day. OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY At the sale, please do not enter pens unnecessarily and do not crowd around the bulls. No children are permitted to enter pens. 3

8 UNDERSTANDING ANGUS BREEDPLAN EBVs What is Angus BREEDPLAN? Angus BREEDPLAN is the genetic evaluation program adopted by Angus Australia for Angus and Angus influenced beef cattle. Angus BREEDPLAN uses Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP) technology to produce Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) of recorded cattle for a range of important production traits (e.g. weight, carcase, fertility). Angus BREEDPLAN includes pedigree, performance and genomic information from the Angus Australia and New Zealand Angus Association databases to evaluate the genetics of animals across Australia and New Zealand. Angus BREEDPLAN analyses are conducted by the Agricultural Business Research Institute (ABRI), using software developed by the Animal Genetics and Breeding Unit (AGBU), a joint institute of NSW Agriculture and the University of New England. Ongoing BREEDPLAN research and development is supported by Meat and Livestock Australia. What is an EBV? An animal s breeding value can be defined as its genetic merit for each trait. While it is not possible to determine an animal s true breeding value, it is possible to estimate it. These estimates of an animal s true breeding value are called EBVs (Estimated Breeding Values). Using EBVs to Compare the Genetics of Two Animals Angus BREEDPLAN EBVs can be used to estimate the expected difference in the genetics of two animals, with the expected difference equating to half the difference in the EBVs of the animals, all other things being equal (e.g. they are joined to the same animal/s). For example, a bull with a 200 Day Growth EBV of +60 would be expected to produce progeny that are, on average, 10 kg heavier at 200 days of age than a bull with a 200 Day Growth EBV of +40 kg (i.e. 20 kg difference between the sire s EBVs, then halved as the sire only contributes half the genetics). Or similarly, a bull with an IMF EBV of +3.0 would be expected to produce progeny with on average, 1% more intramuscular fat in a 400 kg carcase than a bull with a IMF EBV of +1.0 (i.e. 2% difference between the sire s EBVs, then halved as the sire only contributes half the genetics). Using EBVs to Benchmark an Animal s Genetics with the Breed EBVs can also be used to benchmark an animal s genetics relative to the genetics of other Angus or Angus infused animals in Australia and New Zealand. To benchmark an animal s genetics relative to other Angus animals, an animal s EBV can be compared to: the breed average EBV the percentile table The current breed average EBV and percentile table is provided in these explanatory notes. Considering Accuracy An accuracy value is published in association with each EBV, which is usually displayed as a percentage value immediately below the EBV. The accuracy value provides an indication of the reliability of the EBV in estimating the animal s genetics (or true breeding value), and is an indication of the amount of information that has been used in the calculation of the EBV. EBVs with accuracy values below 50% should be considered as preliminary or of low accuracy, 50-74% as of medium accuracy, 75-90% of medium to high accuracy, and 90% or greater as high accuracy. Description of Angus BREEDPLAN EBVs EBVs are calculated for a range of traits within Angus BREEDPLAN, covering calving ease, growth, fertility, maternal performance, carcase merit, feed efficiency and structural soundness. A description of each EBV included in this sale catalogue is provided on the following pages. 5

11 BY CVS COOLAC VET SERVICES Riverview 1188 Crowes Rd Coolac NSW 2727 P F Bill Graham BVSc billshauna@bongongoangus.com.au Tom Graham BVSc tom@coolacvet.com.au In November 2014, we saw a change from the old Breedobject $index Values for Angus cattle to a new format to reflect the changes within the industry and the breed following considerable consultation with key stakeholders. The old Breedobject Index were LONG FED CAAB, Heavy grass fed, Short fed domestic and terminal. These have been replaced by Angus Breeding Index, Domestic Index, Heavy Grain Index and Heavy Grass Index. These new index $ values will be more representative of where our Angus breed fits the industry. The angus Breeding Index is a general purpose selection index that is suitable for use in the majority of commercial beef operations whereas the Domestic, Heavy Grain and Heavy Grass selection indexes yare specific to beef operations targeting defined production systems and market endpoints. The following table from the Angus society website is a good summary to improve your understanding. Other tables in this website give you more detailed information on this change such as the weightings given to the respective EBVs to make up this index and the comparison to the other indexes. With the start of the bull selling season, it is in your best interests to update your knowledge and understanding of these changes. There has been no change to how, when and why we measure the individual traits in the field to define individual EBV traits.

12 RECESSIVE GENETIC CONDITIONS IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR BULL BUYERS This is information for bull buyers about the recessive genetic conditions, Arthrogryposis Multiplex (AM), Hydrocephalus (NH), Contractural Arachnodactyly (CA) and Developmental Duplications (DD). Putting undesirable Genetic Recessive Conditions in perspective: All animals, including humans, carry single copies (alleles) of undesirable or broken genes. In single copy form, these undesirable alleles usually cause no harm to the individual. But when animals carry 2 copies of certain undesirable or broken alleles it often results in bad consequences. Advances in genomics have facilitated the development of accurate diagnostic tests to enable the identification and management of numerous undesirable or broken genes. Angus Australia is proactive in providing its members and their clients with relevant tools and information to assist them in the management of known undesirable genes and our members are leading the industry in their use of this technology. Key point: With today s DNA tools, undesirable genetic conditions can be managed! What are AM, NH, CA and DD? AM, NH, CA and DD are all recessive conditions caused by broken alleles within the DNA of individual animals. When a calf inherits 2 copies of the AM or NH alleles their development is so adversely affected that they will be still-born. In other cases, such as CA and DD, calves carrying 2 copies of the broken allele may reach full-term. In such cases the animal may either appear relatively normal, or show physical symptoms that affect their health and/or performance. Key point: The number of reported observations of AM, NH, CA and DD calves is very low and there is certainly no need for panic. How are the conditions inherited? Research in the U.S. and Australia indicates that AM, NH, CA and DD are simply inherited recessive conditions. This means that a single gene (or pair of alleles) controls the condition. For this mode of inheritance two copies of the undesirable allele need to be present before the condition is seen; in which case you may get an abnormal calf. A more common example of a trait with a simple recessive pattern of inheritance is black and red coat colour. Animals with only one copy of the undesirable allele (and one copy of the normal form of the allele) appear normal and are known as carriers. What happens when carriers are mated to other animals? Carriers, will on average, pass the undesirable allele to a random half (50 %) of their progeny. When a carrier bull and carrier cow is mated, there is a 25% chance that the resultant calf will inherit two normal alleles, a 50% chance that the mating will result in a carrier (i.e. with just 1 copy of the undesirable allele, and a 25% chance that the calf will inherit two copies of the undesirable gene. If animals tested free of the undesirable gene are mated to carrier animals the condition will not be expressed at all. All calves will appear normal, but approximately half (50%) could be expected to be carriers. Key point: For the condition to be expressed the undesirable gene needs to be present on both sides of the pedigree and both the sire and dam need to be a carrier. 9

13 How is the genetic status of animals reported? DNA-based diagnostic tests have been developed which can be used to determine whether an individual animal is either a carrier or free of the alleles resulting in AM, NH, CA or DD. Angus Australia uses advanced software to calculate the probability of (untested) animals to being carriers of AM, NH, CA or DD. The software uses the test results of any relatives in the calculations and the probabilities may change as new results for additional animals become available. The genetic status of animals is being reported using five categories: AMF AMFU AM % AMC AMA Tested AM free Based on pedigree AM free Animal has not been tested % probability the animal is an AM carrier Tested AM-Carrier AM-Affected For NH, CA and DD, simply replace AM in the above table with NH, CA or DD. Registration certificates and the Angus Australia web-database display these codes. This information is displayed on the animal details page and can be accessed by conducting an Animal Search from the Angus Australia website or looking up individual animals listed in a sale catalogue. Key point: The genetic status of an animal is subject to change and will be re-analysed and adjusted each week as DNA test results of relatives are received. Implications for Commercial Producers Your decision on the importance of the genetic condition status of replacement bulls should depend on the genetics of your cow herd (which bulls you previously used) and whether some female progeny will be retained or sold as breeders. Most Angus breeders are proactive and transparent in managing known genetic conditions, endeavouring to provide the best information available. The greatest risk to the commercial sector from undesirable genetic recessive conditions comes from unregistered bulls with unknown genetic background. The genetic condition testing that Angus Australia seedstock producers are investing in provides buyers of registered Angus bulls with unmatched quality assurance.

39 CARING FOR YOUR NEW BULL Always be considerate to your new bull/s and handle them with respect and kindness. Handle them quietly, walk them rather than rushing them, treat them with care and in a gentle manner and they will do likewise to you. Bulls leaving Bongongo leave the security of a large mob, and will arrive in a strange environment at the purchaser s property. When the bull/s are unloaded it is recommended you have a steer or cow as companion waiting for them in the yard. A young bull can move in with older bulls and settle well, but remember, being the youngest, he will get the last of any feed available, because of the pecking order. The paddock needs to be reasonably large so he can keep away from the others and find adequate feed. Young bulls are still growing fast and need enough feed to maintain their growth pattern. Bongongo bulls are used to being handled by stockmen with motorbikes, utes, dogs and horses. We pay utmost attention to bull temperment as being a critical trait. When your new bull is joined to your females, inspect him at least weekly to ensure he is walking freely and his penis looks normal. If there is a problem take him out of the mob and contact your vet. Early treatment is vital. If you have any questions regarding the bulls, the progeny etc. please let us know.

49 WHAT A LOAD OF BULL! With the upcoming bull sales prior to the majority spring joining of most temperate climate herds it is a timely reminder of the important issues when purchasing your bull requirements. It is time for the beef industry to move to best practice not the old adage buyer beware. The progressive studs have introduced this best practice for the last two decades but it is an indictment of any bull breeder/seller not to protect your bull client s best interest when they purchase, by offering bulls that have not been subjected to a Veterinary Bull Breeding Soundness Examination (VBBSE). The minimum requirement of VBBSE for yearling to two year old sale bulls prior to sale or being retained for your own use should be: Done by a veterinarian that is accredited VBBSE member palpation and measurement Examination of external genitalia especially penis for warts, persistent frenulum, hair rings, injuries, balanitis etc. General physical exam including feet and legs for structure A negative pestivirus (BVDV) test for PI (Persistently Infected) bulls by ear notch or tail hair sample. Up to date vaccination history with special emphasis on VIBRIOSIS an important vaccine to prevent a venereal disease. Bulls that fail the test with obvious defects must be culled and not offered for sale. Bulls that are suspect may require further testing. A couple of obvious examples are: The bull with suspect scrotal size or poorer quality palpation requires semen testing with the use of an independent morphology laboratory to do the testing. Any bull that has penile surgery should be subjected to a serving ability test prior to being passed fit for sale. The question of semen testing every bull for sale needs to be discussed with your own vet. In the southern beef temperate area there is little evidence to suggest it is necessary as a routine test. Bulls in this climate if passing the other requirements especially normal scrotal palpation and measurement above minimum standards are most unlikely to have semen quality issues. There are exceptions but our practice only identified one bull this pregnancy testing season that has failed but his crushside test was good and then failed semen morphology. We do a large load of bull breeding work and find it hard to justify the increased cost of semen testing when the majority of subfertile and infertile bulls are discovered by a thorough physical examination. Certification with a VBBSE should be available to every bull buyer explaining what has been done to protect their investment. The importance of bull insurance for the first six to twelve months of a bull s working life was discussed last year in this publication and is worthy of your consideration. Finally, the best investment each producer that is focused on profitability in their beef breeding business can make is to yearly test their bull battery prior to joining and before the annual bull sales so they can budget on their requirements. What is important? Have a fit and capable bull battery. Do not allow your bulls to get FAT! Your bulls will last a lot longer be more agile and virile if they are not overweight. The best mature bull paddock is often your worst paddock. Young bulls need a better paddock as they are still growing. Check test as per the VBBSE for sale bulls. Do this check one to two months prior to joining is the best timing. If possible do a serving ability test (SAT) because as bulls age there is a greater range of problems that become obvious. Our experience is that those farmers that apply all of the above with aged bulls achieve a yearly pregnancy test rate 5% better compared with doing nothing. One can bull budget better plus have a more even calving histogram. by Bill Graham BVSc (featured in The Land July 2014) 46 DEPENDABULL + INSATIABULL IS A PROFITABULL
