Much of what separates the short-term purebred breeder from the long-term seedstock producer is their respective ability to find the opportunities and their desire to act upon them. Bovine opportunists seem to have herd numbers at low levels just before cattle prices start to fall, yet arrive at the peak of the price cycles with their pastures overstocked and ready to sell. Many of these folks that expect to be around for awhile have started building, expanding their herd numbers. They see the opportunity! There will be more Senepol sold via private treaty and public auction in the fall of '97 than at any time in the past. What an opportunity! More to choose from, greater genetic variation, greater depth of quality. In short, more Senepol genetic value than has ever been available! The opportunity is there - all you have to do is act. The SCBA is doing its part to increase your opportunity for profit! All you have to do is read this issue of Senepol World! The Reduced Rate Registration Fee has been extended through Dec. 31. Several fall sales have already indicated that the demand for Senepol has increased, especially from the commercial segment of the industry. They are worth more if they are registered and this reduced rate registration fee allows breeders to register some older cattle that have slipped through the cracks at the low rate of $15 each. Even if they are over 2 years old, it's still only $15 per head. SCBA's Lifetime Membership has been marked down to the Holiday sale price of only $500. This means you can buy it once, and never be burdened with having to pay dues again. You will be protected from any future price increases or late charges on annual dues. P.O.

Literally hundreds of thousands of cattlemen from around the world will get their first look at Senepol. Each of us should seize the opportunity to attend this event and make sure their first impression of Senepol is a great one! The international interest in Senepol is at an all-time high, and this event will be of great value to our breed as we work to enter some of those global markets. It's said that you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. That's true enough of our situation. The next 24 months are going to be full of opportunities for Senepol cattle and the folks that raise them. All indications are that Senepol is going to get a bigger slice of the pie - the opportunity is there, but it's self serve!

SCBA Extends Reduced Registration Fee on Older Animals Through December 31st! Remember, They're worth more if they are registered .... The Board of Directors of the Senepol Cattle Breeders Association has opted to extend the special reduced registration fee incentives throughout the remainder of 1998. Originally, this incentive, wh1ch began at the '97 National Senepol Convention in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., was to have run through October. The decision to extend this incentive came after member comments that fall was the normal time most spring calving programs would take care of their registrations, thus it would be more convenient if the reduced registration fee were extended throughout the fall. through the cracks, and have become over one year of age without being registered. Through this offer, no registration will cost more than $15. Prior to this special incentive, registering .an 18-month-old animal might have cost $25, or even as much as $50 if the animal was over two years of age. Animals that are eligible for registration at the $12 fee (0-9 months of age) will still be registered at that price, and will be unaffected by the reduced registration fee incentive. The goal of this incentive is twofold; first to increase registrations by making it more affordable to members; second, to gain some animals in the Senepol database that had been omitted, because they were not registered. The reduced registration fee offers tremendous savings when registering animals that had slipped FALL 1997 PAGES PROBLEM: SOLUTION: "Estrus detection is the single most limiting factor in optimizing reproductive efficiency in beef and dairy herds utilizing artificial insemination.

There is also a Multiple Trait Performance Sire award which recognizes sires who exhibit superiority in combined traits. Genetic superiority may be defined by a particular bull's EPDs (Expected Progeny Difference) as reported in the Senepol Sire Summary, and how they are superior to the rest of the bulls evaluated for a given trait. Changes in the 1997 Senepol Sire Summary The Board of Directors of the SCBA has approved some changes in both the 1997 Senepol Sire Summary and the selection of Genetic Trait Leaders. First, the list of Senepol Sires has been divided into active and inactive. Inactive sires are those that have not sired a recorded calf since Jan. 1, 1994. Additionally, inactive sires must have a minimum accuracy for Weaning Weight EPD of .50. In most cases, inactive sires are dead, and have no semen available, or, if semen is available, it has not produced a recorded calf in the above specified time frame. Active sires have produced a recorded calf since Jan. 1, 1994, and they must have a minimum accuracy for Weaning Weight EPD of .40. The active sires represent those bulls seeing the heaviest use today, and over the last two or three years. PAGE6 Changes in the Selection of Genetic Trait Leaders The primary change in the selection of Genetic Trait Leaders is that they will only be selected from the Active Sire List. Otherwise the selection criteria is the same. For individual traits (including Birth Weight, Weaning Weight, Maternal Milk, Milk & Growth, and Yearling Weight EPDs), a sire must have a minimum accuracy of .60, and have an EPD which ranks him in the top 10% of the sires listed in the sire summary. Multiple Trait Performance sires were those that ranked in the top one-third of the bulls listed in the Senepol Sire Summary, and had minimum accuracies of .40 for each of the following traits: Weaning Weight, Maternal Milk, Milk & Growth and Yearling Weight. In the past, there was no selection pressure put on Birth Weight EPD in the selection of a Multiple Trait Performance Sire. This year, however, the Board approved a change that requires a sire rank within the lightest two-thirds of the sires listed in the sire summary for Birth Weight EPD, and have a minimum accuracy of .40 for that trait to achieve Multiple Trait Performance status. This is an additional requirement to those listed above for the other individual traits.

Ranchers have the right to care for their animals 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year, for the rest of their lives. Without salary, overtime pay, pension plan, two-week vacations, medical insurance, retirement at 65, or any guarantee they will make a living from one year to the next. VI. Ranchers have the right to put the health and well-being of their animals above everything else, including their own health, wealth and well-being, whi le still taking time to worry about the real problems of the world: poverty, hunger, war, crime and fanatics. II. Ranchers have the right to spend all their money, including life savings, Christmas and vacation money, to feed their animals during droughts and bad winters. When they run out of money, they have the right to borrow more, regardless of the interest rate. VII. Ranchers have the right to make sure their animals are fed and watered 24 hours a day - no matter how hot, cold, wet or miserable the weather - before they get to eat or sleep themselves. III. Ranchers have the right to be kicked, stomped, knocked down, exhausted, frustrated and impoverished by their animals, without retaliating in any way, except cussing. Softly, so they don't upset their animals . IV. V. Ranchers have the right to treat their animals for every minor injury and illness; while ignoring their own bruises, sprains, swelling, cuts, scrapes and loose teeth acquired while caring for their animals. VIII. Ranchers have the right to lose their ranch, their home, their health and even their loved ones by spending all their time, money and love on their an imals. IX. Ranchers have the 1ight to the special satisfaction that comes from providing a valuable service to society and devoting their lives to caring for their land and livestock. X. Ranchers have the right to ranch. And for every uninformed animal-rights kook, a thousand people would love to have that right. Ranchers have the right to cancel family outings, vacations, anniversaries and birthday parties, at a moment's notice, in order to solve some last-minute ranch crisis.
