President’s Message
John Smith, NCAA President
Finally, a break in the heat for us in the East! The record heat and humidity have
made all outdoor activities unbearable this summer. One good thing, it has been per-
fect weather to grow and harvest hay. If we have a winter like last year, we will need all
the hay we can harvest.
For those of you who missed the annual farm tours and field day, you real-
ly missed a great two-day event. The program on Saturday by Bruce Shankle and
Marcus Harward on the grading system for feeder cattle and how Angus breeders
can help our buyers by producing the right kind of bulls was very informative. Thank
you to the Harward family, Bruce Shankle, Elaine

is no other one animal that will impact your positively impact your herd and offer you might assist you in some of the common
herd as much as your herd bull. Many pro- the best value for your money. In order to situations we see in our practice.
1.) Large commercial herd who will be selling all calves at feeder calf sales. For these herds we would recommend
that you look into terminal cross bulls. All calves from these herds will typically be sold at weaning or soon after
weaning. Most of these herds are not retaining their heifers. We would recommend growth bulls in this situation
that will put pounds on calves. Most of the cows in these herds are mature cows, so we will not focus on CED
(Calving Ease Direct) or BW (Birth Weight) EPDs (Expected Progeny Difference) but we will focus more on WW
(Weaning Weight), YW (Yearling Weight), and $W (Weaning) EPDs. These calves to obtain the best price at
feeder calf sales should be predominantly black, little or no brahma influence, moderate height, and have good
muscling. In these larger operations we should also consider purchasing full brothers or half-brothers, so we
can try to have calves that are uniform.
2.) Larger commercial herds that will sell all steers at feeder calf sales, but will retain replacement heifers. These
herds will typically have heifers that will need to be bred for replacements. We will need multiple bulls to fit
these operations. We will need a heifer bull for the heifers which will require us to pay close attention to CED
and BW. CED should be high (above breed average) and BW should be low (below breed average) so that we
shouldn’t have to assist our heifers at birth. We will need a growth bull as in scenario 1 above, but we will also
need to pay attention to CEM (Calving Ease Maternal), HP (Heifer Pregnancy) and Milk since we will be retaining
replacement heifers. These bulls should have high WW, YW, $W, HP, CEM and Milk.
3.) Smaller commercial herds that keep replacement heifers and sell feeder steers. These will require what I call
an all-purpose bull, which may be a little more expensive and harder to find. These bulls should have a high
CED and low BW for any heifers that might be bred. They should have an above average WW and YW showing
growth for their feeder steers. This bull should also have an above average to high CEM, HP and Milk EPD so
that the heifers that are retained will make great cows. Bulls that fall into this category are unique but important
if we are to get the most out of our smaller cow herds.
4.) Herds raising steers for freezer beef or retaining ownership for cattle sold at harvest. We will need to shift our
focus to more of the Carcass EPD traits such as MARB (marbling), RE (ribeye), CW (Carcass Weight), and $B
(composite of the carcass traits). These traits for our bull should hopefully be above breed average to assure
our end product has good carcass value at harvest. WW and YW are still important to make sure they grow
heavy and fast to shorten the time to harvest.
These are not the only traits that we should 2 years old at which time we recommend Consider using as many tools as possible
