Due to the size of our calving facilities and the number of cows we want to run, we need to lengthen our calving
period. For that reason we have decided to hold over some high quality young calves and let them mature into
coming two year olds. These are not at all left overs, these are bulls we felt were too young to offer as yearlings.
As we move forward, we plan to offer more bulls this age for your evaluation.

100 PICK OF THE 2015 HEIFER CALVES
R Plus pick of the entire 2015 heifer crop. We have decided to offer this as we have not
been selling many females in the last few years. We enjoy breeders making their pick and
watching their program flourish. Choice must be made by April 1, 2016.

R+ have established themselves as one of the leading Ultrasound Carcass Evaluation Programs in the Simmental Breed. Not
only do they evaluate their own bulls for their customers, but they also use carcass evaluation as a selection tool for securing
new headline herdsires. Following the R+ example not only helps out R+ but we believe that your program will improve as
well. Remember the R+ Brand of Confidence.
What is Ultrasound?
Ultrasound has become an everyday use of “frequencies” to detect
those things that we can not normally see with our naked eye. Example:
(Medical World - it is used for a host of functions from detecting bodily
problems to detecting the sex of a young couples first new born). In
the outside world it is used to detect cracks or possible structural
flaws in all types of equipment from bridges to engines. In beef cattle
it is used to detect three major components of a live animals carcass
composition; that being muscle (meat), fat thickness and IMF (Intra
Muscular Fat or Marbling). As well, it is quite commonly used to detect
the sex of embryos being carried with an amazingly high degree of
accuracy.
When is it used?
For any meaningful information it is best done during some relative
time period similar to what slaughter ages are to be. The CUP system
adjusts the carcass information to one year of age (similar to adjusted
yearling weights). This then gives us at least a simple level playing
field for making choices or decisions within common groups.
How are the Measurements Expressed?
Rib Fat - either in inches .3 inches or in mm’s 8 mm
AREA - usually in square inches
IMF or MB - as a % of that area (eg. 4.2 = 4.2%)
RP = Retail Product - is a % of a saleable carcass
Why ultrasound, or better yet should we pay attention to this
information?
Within the seedstock industry it seems like a distant or vague result
that holds little real value, but in the commercial cattle world this tool
of using ultrasound has become a well documented practice that when
used has resulted in a clean, positive, decision making management
choice resulting in extra profits of $30 per head and higher. The
ultrasound carcass evaluation when used a short time (7 - 10 days)
prior to slaughter simply allowed the seller to market on a grid system
or not at an optimal time. (This live pre-sort has resulted in an 80% 95% degree of accuracy following slaughter. The pre slaughter carcass
data corresponded to slaughter data with measuring IMF and Fat to
this degree of accuracy). As well reportedly we find major players in
the North American slaughter industry securing software programs to
in fact use this technology for a much more economic decision on their
front. “Apparently the information is not as vague as we may believe.”
What is good or what is bad?
None of the figures or information is bad - the information should
help us identify which animals or groups of animals are superior
for different traits, ie the high IMF bulls could be sourced to use on
Continental cows who may well have lower IMF tendencies, or, large
AREA bulls or sire groups could be used on low yield, easy fleshing
British cows whose IMF genetic makeup could already be abundant.
Remember Retail Product (RP) takes a combination of this information
into account. So is there a right answer?? Not at all, but there certainly
is an advantage to you the buyer using this information if the bulls or
sires are identified.
The first thing producers want to know about ultrasound is: How accurate
is it? The answer to the question depends on who does the actual
scanning of the animals and who interprets the images. Ultrasound
data on these bulls was collected and analysed by a technician that is
certified by AUP and CUP. This means that the technician has met the
standards set by many breed associations. The accuracy, although
not perfect, is high enough that bulls selected based on ultrasound
results in positive genetic change in progeny carcass traits. Heritability
for carcass traits are moderate to high, which is slightly higher that
birth weights, weaning weights, and yearling weights.
IMF (Inter muscular Fat or Marbling)
IMF is the best indication that we have to tell us what kind of eating
experience we will have when eating beef. Extensive research
shows that average AAA and above marbling produces the most
satisfied consumers. As marbling increases so does the juiciness, the
flavorfulness, and the tenderness. This may not always be true but for
the most part AAA marbling producers more satisfied customers that
does A or AA marbling carcasses.
Back Fat (BF mm)
Fat depth influences lean meat yield. Fat bulls have less lean meat/
muscle in the carcass. The fat measurement also gives an indication of
the bulls fleshing ability. Calves from a bull with very little fat may finish
too slowly in the feedlot. Body condition score (fat depth) in females is
related to their ability to reach puberty at an early age, produce milk,
rebreed and maintain a short calving interval. On the other hand, bulls
carrying excessive fat may suffer reduced fertility.
Adjusted Ribeye Area (AREA in2)
The AREA is the largest muscle in the body at birth so AREA gives
an indication of overall carcass muscling (measured in inches) and
adjusted to one year of age.
RP (Retail Product/Cutability/% LMY)
RP is the percentage lean meat yield in the carcass. Yield grade is an
important factor in both Canada and the US. Producing calves with a
high genetic potential for this trait can be an important objective of a
breeding program. Back fat will reduce yield by 7 to 8 times what REA
will increase yield.
Summary
Like all traits we should avoid the extremes. Moderation is the key. As
producers we need to evaluate our own females and then decide what
kind of progeny we want to produce and this should dictate what kind
of sire we want to purchase.
Carcass Data, done by Rod Wendorff,
Windy Ridge Ultrasounding, will be available
after February 20.
