What a classy female we have here. An elegant Ester heifer with great phenotype out of a predictable pedigree. Flushed as a heifer with success. She is also full sister to Lots 1,2 & 3 and will be one of very few CMDC131 (Lot 39) daughters to ever leave Merridale. I think she will make an outstanding breeder.

UNDERSTANDING ANGUS BREEDPLAN EBVs

What is Angus BREEDPLAN? Angus BREEDPLAN is the genetic evaluation program adopted by Angus Australia for Angus and Angus influenced beef cattle. Angus BREEDPLAN uses Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP) technology to produce Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs) of recorded cattle for a range of important production traits (e.g. weight, carcase, fertility). Angus BREEDPLAN includes pedigree, performance and genomic information from the Angus Australia and New Zealand Angus Association databases to evaluate the genetics of animals across Australia and New Zealand. Angus BREEDPLAN analyses are conducted by the Agricultural Business Research Institute (ABRI), using software developed by the Animal Genetics and Breeding Unit (AGBU), a joint institute of NSW Agriculture and the University of New England. Ongoing BREEDPLAN research and development is supported by Meat and Livestock Australia. What is an EBV? An animal’s breeding value can be defined as its genetic merit for each trait. While it is not possible to determine an animal’s true breeding value, it is possible to estimate it. These estimates of an animal’s true breeding value are called EBVs (Estimated Breeding Values). Using EBVs to Compare the Genetics of Two Animals Angus BREEDPLAN EBVs can be used to estimate the expected difference in the genetics of two animals, with the expected difference equating to half the difference in the EBVs of the animals, all other things being equal (e.g. they are joined to the same animal/s). For example, a bull with a 200 Day Growth EBV of +60 would be expected to produce progeny that are, on average, 10 kg heavier at 200 days of age than a bull with a 200 Day Growth EBV of +40 kg (i.e. 20 kg difference between the sire’s EBVs, then halved as the sire only contributes half the genetics).

Or similarly, a bull with an IMF EBV of +3.0 would be expected to produce progeny with on average, 1% more intramuscular fat in a 400 kg carcase than a bull with a IMF EBV of +1.0 (i.e. 2% difference between the sire’s EBVs, then halved as the sire only contributes half the genetics). Using EBVs to Benchmark an Animal’s Genetics with the Breed EBVs can also be used to benchmark an animal’s genetics relative to the genetics of other Angus or Angus infused animals in Australia and New Zealand. To benchmark an animal’s genetics relative to other Angus animals, an animal’s EBV can be compared to:

◆ the breed average EBV

◆ the percentile table The current breed average EBV and percenti le table is provided in these explanatory notes. Considering Accuracy An accuracy value is published in association with each EBV, which is usually displayed as a percentage value immediately below the EBV. The accuracy value provides an indication of the reliability of the EBV in estimating the animal’s genetics (or true breeding value), and is an indication of the amount of information that has been used in the calculation of the EBV. EBVs with accuracy values below 50% should be considered as preliminary or of low accuracy, 50- 74% as of medium accuracy, 75-90% of medium to high accuracy, and 90% or greater as high accuracy. Description of Angus BREEDPLAN EBVs EBVs are calculated for a range of traits within Angus BREEDPLAN, covering calving ease, growth, fertility, maternal performance, carcase merit, feed efficiency and structural soundness. A description of each EBV included in this sale catalogue is provided on the following pages.

VICKY: was introduced from a Victoree foundation heifer in 1959, been consistent breeders and brilliant show cattle with 4 generations of Champions, two going on to become ALL BREEDS champions. The family have heaps of milk with great udders and are usually very protective with their calves. They have great EBV’s, even in

WILCOOLA: originated from a Willmay Tarcoola female, I was fortunate enough to outbid an old mate, Don Sunderman for her at Willmay dispersal. The bloodline are consistent breeders of feminine, milky, correct cattle with

Wilcoola has become very famous now in most states of Australia.

ESTER: Original family came from Ballanee Stud. I was able to talk one of nature’s gentlemen, Jack Hicks, into selling her, Jack even in those early days was involved in some form of performance testing (prior to Breedplan) Ester W47 was his top weight gain “W” heifer and even with the extra I had to pay “The Esters” have turned out a great investment. Esters are good, thick, easy doing correct cattle, excellent breeders with plenty of growth which has bred through for generations.

LYNETTE: has been bred from a foundation female, Ardmore Lynette that I purchased with an outstanding bull calf at foot. Destined to be our oundation sire. The family have been consistent or would not still be here.

VERYX: Another one of Ballanee 7 females I purchased. Good feminine family but have not had quite the impact at Merrigrange as the Ester and Doryx families.

DORYX: From a superb heifer I selected as the pick of her drop, when I promised Jack Hicks, she would be shown if he sold her, and she has won many a ribbon. A female with plenty of neck extention and very feminine. They have been very kind to Merrigrange and possibly because of their popularity, we have sold too many.

MILDRED: Originated from Tibooburra Mildred (Reserve Champion at National) as a frozen embryo. Excellent performers in the show and the paddock.

JANE: Was also purchased at Wilmay dispersal. Consistent breeders and winners in the show ring, very

STEPHI: A branch of the Wilcoola family, we had two

future so we called one Stephi and one Martina. They haven’t let our judgement down as M. Martina was sold for $17,000 and won many a champion sash for her new owners.

JEWEL: Originated from Kilmorey Angus, excellent big growthy cattle, with strong heads, always easy doing. The Jewel bull lines usually weigh considerably above the average. Ask a great judge of cattle, Jack Woodbourn what the Jewels have done for “Ardrishaig”.

ESTELLA: Bred down from a foundation female Ardmore Ela 2nd. Always thick cattle with strong heads, great muscle pattern and plenty of growth and eye appeal. They have been very good in the show ring with lovely soft thin hides.

FAVOURABLE: Wilson Downs, another top breeding family big and correct and she was dam of Wilco Neptune, a National Champion some years back. The original was just sold recently in fat condition, at 14 years so you can see this line has great longevity.

MAORI: Another excellent family from “Victoree” been great performers at Merrigrange, not the size of most bloodlines, but very feminine correct cattle, and successful in the show ring.

JESTRESS: Imported from “Kaharau” NZ, a brilliant bull breeder, very much in demand but has bred us very few females. Big, thick and correct. Excellent donor.

PINESONG: Imported from “Kaharau” NZ, (with Jestress), another great female breeder with a grand-daughter being Junior Champion at Melbourne Royal 1995. She is a daughter of Pine Drive Big Sky USA, the bull that has had an enormous impact on the Angus industry all over the world.

DANDLOO: Te Mania cow I chose as the pick of their draft of sale cows and has been reasonably successful.

MAID: Family originated from a Victoree Maiden

was a Maiden. Consistent breeders and have been very successful at Merrigrange.

SHINING STAR: Wilson Downs female that we purchased from Agtec, very big and heavy, strong easy doing cattle. Shining Star weighed over 830 kgs.

ROSEBUD: Wilson Downs cow that was born in New Zealand, imported to Australia, been an excellent grand dam for Wilson Downs and Merrigrange, and dam of the famous bulls Wilson Downs Bud and Indi. Excellent breeder. Her progeny will create great interest at the sale.

MISS AUSTRALIA: When I went to Queensland to buy W.D. Rosebud I took a fancy to Miss Australia, mainly because of her tremendous length and correctness, she

with great success and her progeny are highly sought after.

BREEDING STANDARDS – Your female herd is the most valuable asset any stud can have. How well and consistent she breeds usually depends on her pedigree.

It is better to have a small number of elite females than

important traits of performance, fertility and structural correctness.
