Brown Swiss Cattle Breeders of Australia are the official Australian representatives of the World Governing Body for Brown Swiss. The Australian Brown Swiss Digest is produced quarterly, and is sent to all members of the Brown Swiss Cattle Breeders of Australia and interested persons. The Brown Swiss Cattle Breeders of Australia would like to thank all overseas publications for their assistance in providing the overseas news and to the various contributors who provide material to make this Digest possible. Opinions and views expressed within this Digest are not necessarily those of the BSCBA.

THE EDITOR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE COPY. 4 CEO REPORT September/October 2009 SOME INFORMATION ABOUT GENOMICS Hello again, and welcome to our newest members – Another wonderful win again for our Queensland cattle – I believe the display of Brown Swiss cattle at RNA Brisbane 2009 again made great spectacle. We want to point out that this is only the beginning of the genomics journey: again stressing that the only reason Brown Swiss is able to participate is the original action taken by the Board to “buy in” to genomic research, the Brown Swiss members who contributed to the recent phase, the AI industries financial/genetic support and government support through USDA. As we move forward next with the “Low Density Chip”, which will revolutionize parentage verification, followed by perhaps having entire genomes on each animal within 60 months, our understanding and need to adapt our breeding programs will only increase. However, the rewards of these efforts will be outstanding leading to greater profitability for all Brown Swiss breeders. Included in this Digest is a list of some of the higher awards for Classification. You can view the whole file on the Holstein Australia Site. The National President Joe Bradley and I attended the workshop held during September by the Working Group to discuss rationalization of Herd Recording and other integrated topics. Further discussion will take place and no doubt there will be more meetings of all dairy sectors on this very important topic. At this juncture we want to stress that genomics is a tool to be used in conjunction with other methods of genetic selection. These other methods include parent averages for young animals and actual performance of self or offspring for older bulls/cows. What genomics primarily offers to the Brown Swiss breed at this time is increasing the Reliability, or phrased in another manner the potential accuracy, that is found in bulls/cows with no or limited production data. Currently the most effective usage of genomics will be in comparing littermates or full siblings. As more data (genomes) are added and more research is conducted, the Reliability and utility of genomic information will continue to expand augmenting production and classification information. Emily and I and all our family would like to say a very big THANK YOU to every member who has supported my husband Richard during this very difficult time. Your cheery calls and information about what you are doing and where our great Brown Cow is headed has kept him in great spirits. It is not possible to list everyone who has called – let us just say thank you, for the flowers, the messages and thoughts. A key point that we must not lose focus on is the continuing need for both milk recording and classification scores. Genomics is only as good as the data that the geneticists have to work with. While some may think that genomics will remove the need for testing or scoring cows the reality is the opposite. As with any system of genetic evaluation and selection we still need to “validate” the performance predictions of the genome; we still need the actual performance of the offspring. This applies to any genetic selection process be it based on cow families, corrective matings, actual production, parent pedigree information or genomics the actual performance of the offspring compared to their herdmates and family is what matters; they all require validation. It is membership time again, please remember to pay directly to Holstein Australia. STOP PRESS At the time of printing, the Queensland Branch has received over 90 entries for their annual on-farm challenge. Currently we are working with Insinc on developing the software to facilitate general testing of Brown Swiss animals. All samples will require a bar code to go through the process from the lab to USDA-AIPL back to office. As soon as the system is in place we will let you know on the web page, Brown Cow Talk and in the Bulletin. At this time genomic evaluations will be run every two months. When the office receives the results from USDA they will be sent either by e-mail or surface mail to the breeder. However, these runs will not be “official” and will not show on pedigrees. The “official” genomic evaluation will be at the same time as the general genetic evaluation release (currently January, April and August). There will also be modifications to pedigrees to indicate if the evaluation has a genomic element. This is an exciting time in the annals of the great Brown Cow with the low somatic cell…Dave This is a great way to compare your Brown Swiss to others in the state without the time and expense involved in exhibiting at a show. See page 8 for results and just a few pics of the presentation day - more photos next Digest.

As a Second Crop Star, now with 148 daus in production, ZASTER has cemented himself as a true breeding great. ZASTER daughters excel for Rear Udder Height (139) & Width (129), they have excellent milk flow (1018), superior longevity (108), and fast milking speed (106). ZASTER daughters have started CRIZaster Daughter to calve in Australia, and breeders are eager to milk the daughters from this exceptional sire. ZASTER semen is currently available for $25.00 or checkout his super son, BosZADLO. BosINDIANO (Ace x Prelude x Prophet) continues his stance as one of Australia’s biggest selling Brown Swiss Sires, his balanced Type & Productions Index’s rank him as one of the breeds most consistent breeders. INDIANO is the leading ‘Ace’ son available, boasting balanced index’s for Overall Type (125), Udders (122) & Production (1027). INDIANO daughters exhibit a tremendous amount length of body, they excel in udder quality, especially rear udder height (120) & width (121), and have very correct rump structures. Adding to these exceptional traits, INDIANO also offers breeders the breeds best genetics for milking speed (110), BOSPoster Daughter cell count (117) & longevity (117). BosPOSTER (Poldi x Emico) continues to operate at the top end of the Italian Production Proofs, POSTER offers breed leading components ( 0.05 F% & 0.17 P%) & an exceptional type pattern. POSTER is ideal for adding Brown Swiss character & some much needed strength to finer North American bloodlines. POSTER dominates in adding width (129) & slope (114) to rump structures, they have a tremendous foot angle (117), strong fore attachments (129) & deep udder clefts (123). POSTER’s aggressive calves are sure to impress. Although only a small amount of semen still exists, CriMOIADO (Gordon x Vinos) remains the true champion of reliable production genetics. Mike Huth ph 0409 555 042 www.bostrading.com.au Now with more than 4200 daughters & Number 3 in the breed, MOIADO offers true component genetics, breeding long lasting cows with tremendous frames & excellent udder texture. MOIADO genetics can now also be sourced thru his many son’s & grandson’s entering progeny test programs throughout the world. An Excellent ‘NEW’ sire has emerged in 2009, PLACIDO (Pronto x Dam of CRIBaxter Jetway). This newly proven PRONTO son holds an excellent balanced proof, with Excellent Udders (125), Great Feet & Legs (121) & a Balanced Type Pattern (119). PLACIDO excels for milking speed (127) & rear udder height (131), so be sure to keep an eye out for this exciting sire later in 2009. BOS Trading continues to seek out the most Elite Young Sires for Australian Breeders, one of our early Progeny Test sires CriBAXTER (Dynasty x Monopoly) is creating a huge amount of interest since the release of his first unofficial proof. BAXTER daughters are beginning to calve & his Initial type proof has him ranked in the TOP 15 USA Type sires. In keeping with our mission to offer superior Brown Swiss Dam of BOSPius Outcross genetics, our Progeny Test Sires also includes a Pitagora son from the Italian Show Champion, Tschenett Brinks Niki VG 88. Soon to be released progeny test sire BOSCharge, is an early Powersurge son of Little Hill Exclaim Lady EX 93, this is an exciting outcross type & production package. Exclaim Lady EX 93 is an R Hart EC Exclaim daughter from Wind Mill SB Licorice EX 91, making 6 generations of VG or EX cows in a row. ‘SUPERBROWN’ Sires dominate in Second Crop Success, for ‘BOS TRADING’ QUEENSLAND 2009 ON FARM CHALLENGE RESULTS JUDGE MR JIM PARKER Class 1 – Cow in milk born after 1/01/07 Class 8 – Cow born before 1/01/07 dry 1st 2nd 3rd 4th Bryanda Damien Sapphire 2 1st 2nd 3rd S Childs A & C Kath Clews Family Nethervale Complete Tahni 4th D & D Scholl D & D Scholl G & K Wenzell DA & CG Vonhoff A & C Kath Vale Farm Morocco Kira Joanne Banker Brandy Nethervale SB Lolita Hillside Primetime Sara Marie Vale Farm Cartoon Madeline Class 2 – Cow in milk born 1/01/06 to 31/12/06 1st 2nd 3rd 4th S Schilds Radel Clews Family A & C Kath BEST UDDER – N Fiechtner Coolibah R Trixie RESERVE BEST UDDER – J Bradley Oakleigh Jane HON MENTION BEST UDDER – DA & CG Vonhoff Bryanda Toni Lamrock Elavesor Dalla Maid Mountain View Sandie 4 Presold Pinkie Nethervale JM Tahni CHAMPION COW – N Fiechtner Coolibah R Trixie RESERVE CHAMPION COW – J Bradley Oakleigh Jane HON MENTION CHAMPION COW – D & D Scholl Hillside Polkem Marion JUNIOR BEST UDDER – Clews Family Presold Pinkie RESERVE JUNIOR BEST UDDER – D & D Scholl Vale Farm Morocca Kira HON MENTION JUNIOR BEST UDDER – S Childs Elavesor Dalla Maid JUNIOR CHAMPION – S Childs Elavesor Dalla Maid RESERVE JUNIOR CHAMPION – Radel Family Mountain View Sandie 4 HON MENTION JUNIOR CHAMPION – Clews Family Presold Pinkie Class 3 – Cow in milk born 1/01/05 to 31/12/05 1st 2nd 3rd 4th L & M Thompson A & C Kath Radel DA & CG Vonhoff Melaleuka Collect Jolly Hillside Dalton Millie Mountain View Daria Bryanda Cartoon Teresa Qld President Cassandra Kath & Jim Parker Class 4 – Cow in milk born 1/01/03 to 31/12/04 1st 2nd 3rd 4th Radel A & C Kath G & K Wenzel DA & CG Vonhoff Mountain View Impact 2 Cooltah Eskimo Honest Dana Bryanda Cartoon Theresa Class 5 – Cow in milk born 1/01/99 to 31/12/02 1st 2nd 3rd 4th N Fiechtner J Bradley D & D Scholl L & M Thompson Coolibah R Trixie Oakleigh Jane Hillside Polkem Marion Melaleuka Prophet Robbie Radel Jenny Fiechtner & Jim Parker Class 6 – Cow in milk born before 31/12/98 1st 2nd 3rd N Fiechtner RB Huth L & M Thompson Coolibah Tiara Hillside Magnific Lias Rockleigh Daytons Ida Class 7 – Cow or heifer born 1/01/07 to 31/12/07 dry 1st 2nd 3rd 4th Zoe Clews RB Huth D & D Scholl S Childs Benleigh Polo Sarajevo Hillside Zaster Mandy Vale Farm Jet Muriel Gord Sim Orryan Part of the gathering listening to reasons 8 Q U E E N S L A N D HILLSIDE BROWN SWISS Call in and see us when you are in the area - SHALOM BROWN SWISS Visitors always welcome!

I’m sure he’ll have some tales to tell, He did ask me to thank all his fans out there for the calls, text messages and get well greetings he has been receiving, he just can’t believe he had such a fan club - thought his ramblings had gone largely unnoticed all this time. Thank you all so very much, it has been a very humbling experience. The Boss, the Bosses Mum, the Bosses Mate and all our family - thank you all 12 Brisbane Royal 2009 Results BROWN SWISS Judge: Lindsay Moxey, NSW A consistent number of entries were again seen at the Ekka in August this year. The standout class of the day was the 5-7 years in milk class, which saw the return of last year’s Supreme Champion Cow to the show ring in fine form. Many spectators gathered around the ring to see if the Mountain View cow would retain her title. After a tense time, judge Lindsay Moxey awarded first place to Hillside Agenda Jolene, owned by Jeremy Josefski. Agenda Jolene then went on to win best udder and champion cow, with Mountain View Impact 2 standing in reserve. Katherine Huth - Secretary BSCBA Inc.

True believers will always milk what ever their breed is, but we need NEW breeders, ones who can compare the breed and see the advantage. Dave Kendall - Director of Genetics Brown Swiss USA 17 SPERMEX GmbH – *HQHWLNTXHOOHIUDOOH]FKWHULVFKHQ$QVSUFKH SPERMEX – News Sire Proofs German Brown Swiss August 2009 Top sires with high reliabilities! Dear Brown Swiss Breeders, the German top sires confirmed their proofs on an outstanding level with very high reliabilities. In spite of the basis adjustment of -0,3 points in the TMI and -0,4 points in the index milk the most heavily used bulls kept or even increased their figures from the last run in April. The Top-3 Juhus, Vasir, Huray did not allow any newcomer to come in between. However some interesting new sires started their debut with promising figures, too. Juhus stays # 1in the German list with a total merit index (TMI) of 137 (-2). The slight decrease was only caused by a lower fat percentage. On the other hand the persistence during the lactation is quite satisfying and now we can await the first second lactation performances. In May we inspected a daughter group which confirmed the linear description and the improvement in comparison to the dams. Only the rump angle and the backline shall be considered carefully and Juhus shall not be recommended for heifer inseminations. Jockl, another Juvin-son with excellent type traits decreased in milk yield but increased the components and the udder composite (125). Jusit is a new son of Juvin and shows better performances but neutral protein percentage. The reliability is not high enough yet for a final statement but the development of his proof is promissing. JUHUS - daughter Lissi Vasir increased 2 points in his index milk and in the TMI due to the high yields of his daughters in the second lactation. With +1.446 kg milk and neutral components Vasir is the present non-plus-ultra performance sire in the Brown Swiss breed. The progeny group in Buchloe in the beginning of June also demonstrated that the Vasirdaughters are capable to improve the rear udder attachment in the second lactation. Looking at his top qualities we are even more glad about the very good non-return rates of the sexed Vasirsemen. This is an expensive but profitable investment for the future. VASIR – daughter Resi in 2nd lactation (Bull dam) On of the most complete Brown Swiss sires around the world stays Huray. With a lot of finished second lactations he kept his proofs from April almost exactly. But the index for productive lifetime increased again from 114 to 118 which covers the mind of the owners who report about an excellent constitution of the Huraydaughters. Besides we get very positive feedback about the vitality of the Huray-calves. As a sum Huray can be recommended on a wide range of cows as an allround sire who can be also used for heifer inseminations. Halfbrother Husir stays an alternative beyond the Hussli-sons as high performer with good fitness traits. The udder attachment and volume has to be considered carefully. Allround sire Husjet keeps to be our recommendation for crossbreeding with Holsteins. Hunto has a favorable fat:protein ratio and improves feet&legs. Another very positive development can be observed at Juleng who gained again 1 point after his increase in April. This is basically caused by the high performance increases in the second lactations. In May we inspected a daughter group on farms which underlined Juleng’s qualities to improve strength, body capacity and constitution without loosing dairyness. The udders showed a good texture and a long fore udder attachment. Juleng is also available with sexed semen and can be recommended for heifer inseimations. Also Juwel profited from high performance increases in second lactations so that he even raised 3 points in his TMI. He is an exceptional udder improver but the milking speed should be taken into consideration. Juwel is not Spermex GmbH ● Ottostraße 26 ● 85521 Ottobrunn Tel.: +49 89665906-40 Fax: +49 89665906-42 Email: [email protected]; web: www.spermex.de 18 SPERMEX GmbH – *HQHWLNTXHOOHIUDOOH]FKWHULVFKHQ$QVSUFKH recommended for heifers. Further on we have to mention the Jublend-sons Jubev as a real allround sire with an enormous fitness index and Jusuv who presents a remarkable linear description whenever the udder composite index is only 102. Jublem is a new Jublend-son with remarkable performances (+1329 kg milk) and correct type traits. JUSUV daughter Helke in 2nd lactation JULENG – daughter Gräfin in 2nd lactation PROTEUS – daughter 668 Prossli gained 1 point in his TMI in spite of a lower milk yield. The improvement in the TMI is mainly based on a strong increase of his productive lifetime index (124). This confirms our impression from the young Prosslidaughters which were lately matured but already offered some potential and a very good functionality. Prossli is a balanced allrounder who was co-tested in several countries around the world. You should only keep an eye on enough strength and a strong backline. Prostar and Proteus who already started in April confirmed their good allround qualities. Prostar sires high performing cows, with a lot of style and dairyness with strong udder attachments but some weakness in the foot angle. Proteus sires similar to Prossli. A daughter group in June in Buchloe impressed by exceptional feet&legs and good udder qualities. Proteus-daughters are medium framed cows which suit very well in free space barns. These Pronto-sons are getting new competition from Prontus and Provinz. Prontus is the highest entry in August with a TMI of 133. He presents a balanced breeding pattern and should be followed up in his further development. Provinz shows a similar tendency with an advantage in the udder quality but poorer feet&legs. Due to his present calving ease index we don’t recommend Provinz for heifers. Beyond the President-sons we can refer to three good alternatives: Prejula who steadily increased his proofs within the past year impresses by an outstanding persistency (141). The only concern should be the milking speed (94). Preset kept his proofs on a high level (TMI 127) and differs from his halfbrothers through an enormous frame. Preferenz is an allround sire whose popularity gained through his vital calves. Fitness star Hucos will be probably sold out until the end of this season. His sons who showed up so far could not compete with him. However Hickory presents some allround qualities and Hustar is able to continue the high performance figures of his father. Ellection increased 1 point up to 122 TMI and combines fantastic yields with amazing fitness abilities. Emerupdaughters have finished their third lactations with impeccable yields. Next year we will see how his second crop daughters are doing. Unfortunately Etvei who was heavily used on a wide range of cows lost in his milking speed index (91). With a TMI of 115 his further use will be limited. However farmers are mostly very satisfied with the well developed Etvei-daughters who show strong udder attachments. Finally we should mention the bloodline alternatives Achet (Ace x Prophet), Event (Even x Vinos) who stays # 1 in Australia and can also refer to remarkable figures in Switzerland, Galpro (General x Pronto), Savib (Sam x Vineb), Easton (Eagle x Preston), Denpro (Denmark x Prophet) and Polvin (Poldi x Vinos).
