EXPORT TO REPUBLIC OF IRELAND – PLEASE NOTE THE RULES HAVE CHANGED, AS FROM THE 1 JANUARY 2023 ANYTHING WHICH HAS BEEN BVD VACCINATED WILL NO LONGER BE ELIGIBLE FOR EXPORT TO ROI
Animals sold requiring TB re-test
This information is applicable to cattle purchased for export including to Northern Ireland*, Isle of Man, Shetland and Orkney Islands.
*Please note following Brexit, cattle moving to Northern Ireland from Great Britain will now be classified as an EU export.
Animals sold for export will require a TB re-test before shipment and will therefore have to return home to the vendor’s premises, unless other agreed arrangements have been made.
The required tests must be conducted as soon as practicable following the sale:
• Animals sold to go to Northern Ireland must have remained on a single holding of origin for a period of 40 days and must be subjected to a second TB test prior to shipment.
• The cost of testing, return transit and all other reasonable expenses must be borne by the purchaser. During the period of testing the animal will remain at the purchaser’s risk. If, however, any animal should fail its test, the sale will become null and void.
• Payment for animals sold under these conditions must be made by the purchaser to the auctioneers on the day of sale. The auctioneers will hold such payments until notice has been received from the vendor that the animal has passed its final test and is in transit.
• Entries from exhibitors prepared to offer their animals subject to the above are designated in the catalogue as ‘eligible for retest.’
Understanding Breedplan performance information
Only Hereford group Breedplan EBVs or interim EBVs with accuracy (Acc) can be validly compared between herds.
Estimated breeding values (EBVS)
The EBV is the best estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for that trait.
Accuracy
An accuracy value is presented with every EBV and gives an indication of the amount of information that has been used in the calculation of that EBV. The higher the accuracy the lower the likelihood of change in the animal’s EBV as more information is analysed for that animal or it’s relatives. Accuracy below 75% should be considered low.
Calving ease
Calving ease EBVs are based on calving difficulty scores, birth weights and gestation length information. More positive EBVs are favourable and indicate easier calving.
DIR: Direct calving ease indicates how this animal influences the birth of its progeny.
DTRS: Daughter’s calving ease indicates how well the animal produces daughters that have easier calving.
Birth and fertility
GL: Gestation length EBV (days) is based on AI records. Lower (negative) GL EBVs indicate shorter gestation lengths which generally relate to easier calving and increased growth after birth.
BWT: Birth weight EBV (kg) is based on the measured birth weight of animals, adjusted for dam age. The lower the value the lighter the calf at birth and the lower the likelihood of a difficult birth. This is particularly important when selecting sires for use over heifers.
SS: Scrotal size EBV (cm) is an indicator of male fertility in regards to semen quality and quantity. Higher (positive) EBVs indicate higher fertility. There is also a small negative correlation with age of puberty in female progeny.
Growth
MILK: 200-day milk EBV (kg) is an estimate of an animal’s milking ability. For sires, this EBV is indicative of their daughter’s milking ability as it affects the 200-day weight of their calves.
200: 200-day growth EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of animals taken between 80 and 300 days of age. Values are adjusted to 200 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for growth to early ages.
400: 400-day weight EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 301 and 500 days of age, adjusted to 400 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for yearling weight.
600: 600-day weight EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 501 and 900 days of age, adjusted to 600 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for growth beyond yearling age.
MWT: Mature cow weight EBV (kg) is an estimate of the genetic difference in cow weight at 5 years of age. Smaller, or more moderate EBVs are generally more favourable.
Carcase
CWT: Carcase weight EBV (kg) estimates the genetic difference in carcase weight at a standard age of 650 days.
EMA: Eye muscle area EBV (cm2) estimates genetic differences in eye muscle area of a 300kg dressed carcase. More positive EBVs indicate better muscling on animals.
FAT: Rib fat EBV (mm) estimates the genetic differences in fat depth at the rib in a 300kg dressed carcase. More positive EBVs indicate more subcutaneous fat and earlier maturity.
RBY%: Retail beef yield percent EBV (%) represents total (boned out) meat yield as a percentage of a 300kg dressed carcase. A more positive EBV indicates higher percentage yield for the 300kg carcase size.
IMF%: Intra-muscular fat percent EBV (%) is an estimate of the genetic difference in the percentage of intra-muscular fat at the 12/13th rib site in a 300kg carcase. Depending on market targets, larger more positive values are generally more favourable.
Indexes combine the EBVs with economic information for specific market and production systems to rank animals based on relative profit values.
Terminal index
The Hereford terminal index is aimed at a commercial herd using Hereford bulls over dairy cross cows to breed steers and heifers to turn off at 16 months of age. All progeny are destined for slaughter and no replacement females are selected from within the herd. There is some emphasis on calving ease while finishing steers at around 600 kg live weight (330 kg carcase weight) using a pasture-based production system.
Use this index in a commercial herd to produce progeny for slaughter. The index has moderate emphasis on easier calving (i.e., getting a live calf with minimal human interference) while producing calves that will then grow quickly to market specifications at around 16 months of age. The index is focused on slaughter animals and does not account for maternal traits and is therefore not suited to breeding replacement females.
If you are using smaller framed cows or heifers in your herd, then you should also put extra emphasis on a higher calving ease direct EBV when selecting a sire using this index.
Self replacing index
The Hereford self replacing index is aimed at a Hereford herd selecting replacement females from within the herd while breeding steers and excess heifers to turn off at 22 months of age. There is emphasis on calving ease and maternal traits while also looking to finish steers for slaughter at around 620 kg live weight (320 kg carcase weight) using a pasture-based production system supplemented with extra rations during the finishing phase.
This self replacing index is also suitable to using Hereford sires over mixed breed cows where replacement females are sourced from within the herd. There may be some hybrid vigour expressed in the progeny depending on the breed type of the cows used. Therefore, you should consider placing extra emphasis on the calving ease EBVs (more positive) of the sire to allow for possible heavier birth weights of his calves due to hybrid vigour.
Use this index in both commercial and pedigree herds where you are balancing the requirements of selecting replacement females while also producing animals for slaughter.
The Hereford group Breedplan estimated breeding values contained in this sale catalogue were compiled by the Agricultural Business Research Institute (ABRI) from data supplied by the breeders. Neither the Hereford Cattle Society nor the ABRI oversee or audit the collection of this data.
Percentile bands for 2023 born calves
Superior carcase sire scheme
Hereford Cattle Society is offering a financial incentive to users of certified superior carcase sires. These are bulls which have been identified from their Breedplan records as having potential to produce improved carcase quality in their progeny.
Purchasers of a superior carcase sire will be eligible to claim £5 per calf on the progeny of the bull - confined to a maximum of 100 calves during a claim period of up to four years (three crops of calves) from the purchase date of the bull.
The incentive may only be claimed once in the bull’s life and is confined to the original purchaser.
Claims to be submitted by the owner of the bull at six monthly intervals for calves up to six months of age by 30 June and 31 December each year – no payments will be made in respect of any calf that is over six months of age at the time the claim is received.
All claims must be supported by an official list obtained by the owner of the bull from, in the case of England, Scotland and Wales – BCMS (British Cattle Movement Service) and in Northern Ireland – APHIS (Animal and Public Health Information Service).
Calves will be subject to a random DNA test for sire verification and checks will be made with the appropriate authorities that the bull was present on the farm at the time of conception of the calves.
Bulls qualifying for this incentive will be highlighted within the notes of the sale catalogue.
Completeness of performance recording
One of the key factors underpinning the accuracy of EBVs is the quantity of performance information recorded with Breedplan. ‘Completeness of performance’ assesses the quantity of pedigree and performance information submitted to Breedplan by an individual herd.
Star rating
The star rating for each herd is calculated based on the proportion of calves within the herd born in a fixed five year period which have been performance recorded for each trait. Different criteria are used within each individual breed depending on the traits for which EBVs are calculated within the breed. Each herd receives a star rating on a 0 – 5 scale (including half stars) that summarises the ‘completeness’ of their performance information.
Herds with a star rating of 5 are considered to be gold standard and are recording ‘complete’ performance information for all traits for which EBVs are available.
While ultimately EBV accuracy values provide an indication of the reliability an animal’s EBVs, the completeness of performance star rating provides both pedigree and commercial producers alike with an assessment of how much performance has been submitted to Breedplan by a herd when looking at the EBVs for animals within their herd.
Star Rating Description
5.0
4.0 or 4.5
3.0 or 3.5
2.5 or less
Herds with a star rating of “5” are gold standard. They are considered to be recording “complete” performance information with BREEDPLAN for all animals across all traits for which EBVs are available.
Herds with a star rating of “4” or “4.5” are silver standard. They are considered to be recording comprehensive performance information with BREEDPLAN for most animals and traits, but are recording less performance than a 5 star herd.
Herds with a star rating of “3” or “3.5” are considered bronze standard. They are considered to be recording performance information with BREEDPLAN for a reasonable number of traits or animals, but are recording less performance information than a 4 or 5 star herd.
Herds with a rating of “2.5” or less are recording information with BREEDPLAN but not for all animals or traits. They are recording less performance information than a 3, 4 or 5 star herd.
Johne’s disease risk level reminder – CheCS
Important rule about buying and selling and risk status
It is important to remember that if an animal of a lower risk status level is added to your herd, if it is ever sold on from your holding it must be sold as its original risk level status (i.e. a risk level 3 animal added to a risk level 2 herd must remain as risk level 3 if sold again).
However, animals added from a higher risk level status herd to a lower risk level status herd take on the status of the herd that they are added to and must be sold as such (i.e. a risk level 1 animal added to a risk level 4 herd would then have to be sold as risk level 4 in the future).
If you are looking to buy or sell stock it is important to know your own herd’s Johne’s disease risk level, as well as that of any cattle that you might add to your herd.
Level 1 – There have been at least three clear annual herd tests and there is a Johne’s disease herd health plan in place. This is the lowest level of risk
Level 2 – There has been at least one clear herd test but the herd does not yet qualify for level 1 status. There is a Johne’s disease herd health plan in place
Level 3 – 3% or less of the herd were identified as reactors at the most recent herd test. There is a Johne’s disease herd health plan in place
Level 4 – More than 3% of the herd were identified as reactors at the most recent herd test. There is Johne’s disease herd health plan in place
Level 5 – This includes herds without a health plan for Johne’s disease, herds that do not adhere to the mandatory elements of the health plan and herds that do not carry out the required testing. This is the highest level of risk.
Please note: Important rule about buying and selling and risk status
Selling on animals that have been purchased from another herd: When an animal is purchased from a herd with an inferior Johne’s disease risk level than the herd to which it is added, the purchased animal retains the risk level of the herd of origin should it be sold on. For example it cannot be sold as risk level 1 if purchased as risk level 2, 3, 4 or 5. Animals that are purchased from a herd with a superior risk level can be sold only at the risk level that applies to the purchasers herd at the time of subsequent sale. For example, an animal purchased as risk level 1 into a risk level 4 herd can only be sold at the risk level that applies to the level 4 receiving herd at the time of subsequent sale. Purchased animals are described on sale certificates as ‘not-homebred’ and cannot be sold with a herd status, with the exception of animals sourced from 25 Risk Level 1 herds that have remained throughout their lives in a Risk Level 1 herd and appropriate evidence of this is provided to their health scheme provider. This is at the discretion of the health scheme provider and assessed on a case by case basis.
