The Wirruna Poll Hereford herd has come a longway since itwas founded in 1949.WhenRichard Locke succeededhis father asprincipalof the stud in theearly 1970’s,hewas frustratedby the stud industry’s concentrationon showing cattle rather thanbeing aligned to the needs of commercial cattleman. Although Wirruna cattle achieved notablesuccess in the ‘showring’, thestudmadefundamentalchange indirection in1972 to Performance Testing focused on selecting a herd based on high performance and high fertility under commercial (grass-fed) stress conditions. Today’s cow herd at Wirruna comprises 600 registered females and is the result ofdecadesofcarefultraitselectionforimprovedcalvingease,milk,muscle,marblingandgrowth rate, without substantial increases in birth weight and with no compromisetotemperament,structuralsoundness&fertility.

Wirruna Poll Hereford StudwasafoundationmemberoftheNational Beef Recording Scheme in 1972andhasover10,000cattlerecordedonBreedplan.

Breedplan is a performance evaluation program that describes the genetic profile of an animal for a number of commercially important traits. An estimate of the animals ‘breeding value’ is given an EBV (Estimated Breeding Value), a figure that compares the animal to the breed benchmark of zero (0) for each trait. A positive EBV (+)ishigherthanbreedbenchmarkwhilstanegative(-) EBV islowerthanthebenchmark.

CARCASEWirruna have used ultrasonic scanning to assess muscle and fat since 1990. Intra-muscular fat (IMF) measurementshavebeenmeasuredsince1998.ThecarcaseEBVsgeneratedareausefultoolthatwillgain in accuracy and importance as more generations are scanned and analysed. With the increasing emergence of value based marketing of beef, carcase quality & meat yield are major factorsinfluencing boning room profitability and ultimate producer returns. Wirruna is currently placing significant emphasis on carcase traits in sire selection.

Wirruna only offer bulls that are fertile and structurally sound.Aswithmanygenetictraits,fertilitycannotbephysicallyseenwheninspectingabull.Consequently,Wirruna measure various facets of fertility to assist clients to make an informed bull choice.

Selection indices are now available. Known as Breedobject $Index, these indices aredesigned to allow balanced selection for various market end-points and breedingobjectives.

DNA TEST FOR POLLEDNESS The Australian Poll Gene Marker test is used to measure the likelihood that a polled animal only carries the polled gene. Originally developed by the Beef CRC and with emerging DNA technologies, the test has been recently refined with improved accuracy.

The test is a very useful tool for those herds who wish to genetically dehorn progeny where the frequency of the horned gene present within the cow herd is high. Generally, strong poll herds do not need to focus on the gene due to the dominance of the poll gene (P) to the horn gene (h).

Through the Animal Genetics Laboratory at the University of Queensland (UQ), Wirruna have gene tested sale bulls to identify those that are true polled or homozygous polled (PP) and those that carry the horn gene or heterozygous polled (Ph). All progeny of a PP homozygous polled bull will be polled. Heterozygous polled bulls (Ph), on the other hand, can throw horned progeny if the horn gene is also present in the cow.

The test is not 100% accurate as the location of the polled gene has not been precisely identified. The accuracy figure provides a percentage likelihood of the most likely genotype. Note that the accuracy figure does not infer the percentage of polled progeny! If you want to cease dehorning, select PP bulls.

For more information about the genetics of Polledness, refer to the Wirruna website (www.wirruna.com).
