NASDA Rules & Regulations RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE AMERICAN SOUTH DEVON ASSOCIATION RULE 1. NORTH AMERICAN SOUTH DEVON ASSOCIATION 1 The North American South Devon Association, hereafter referred to as the NASDA, shall provide, maintain, and publish a Herd Book containing a complete set of records in permanent files, properly indexed and classified into the categories described in Rule 2. Such Herd Book shall contain a separate register called Fullbloods whose purpose shall be the listing of only those animals derived from originally imported fullblood stock from England and their offspring and animals of 31/32 blood or higher. 2. This set of records shall record the identification, ownership, and record the performance data of the cattle: A. Identifications: The individual and both parents shall be identified by their respective numbers from the English Herd Book if so registered, the registration numbers from the NASDA Herd Book, permanent identification numbers of a tattoo which will begin with the original registrants assigned herd prefix and which will contain the letter designation of the year of birth, and the ear location of this tattoo on the individual, and the birth date and sex of the individual. Calves of multiple births shall be identified as such. B. Ownership: The name and address, or code number assigned for this purpose, of the breeder and successive owners different from the breeder. C. Performance Data: Individual birth weight ratio, listing the number of contemporaries and the average adjusted birth weight of the group in pounds, pursuant to Rule 3. Individual weaning weight ratio, listing the number of contemporaries and the average 205 day adjusted weight of the group in pounds, pursuant to Rule 3. Individual yearling weight ratio, listing the number of contemporaries and the average 365 day adjusted weight of the group in pounds pursuant to Rule 3. 3. The Rules and Regulations of this Association will not dictate any selection practice or require any minimum performance for registry. 4. The members of the South Devon Cattle Breeders World Association, 24 Courtenay Park, Newton Abbot, Devon, England TQ12 2HB, shall have the same access to the NASDA as the members of the NASDA and upon request shall be provided with the National Sire Summary reports of this Herd Book. 5. Definitions: A. The owner of an animal is defined to be either: (1) The owner of the animal as shown on the records of NASDA; or (2) The installment purchaser of an animal provided that written notice of the existence and term of the installment sale contract has been given to the Association office by the record owners; or (3) The lessee of an animal provided that written notice of the existence and term of the lease has been given to the Association office by the record owner. In the case of sub-paragraphs (1) and (2) above, the Association shall be entitled to presume that an installment sale contract or lease, as the case may be, is in full force and effect until informed in writing to the contrary by the record owner. This shall be true whether or not the term of the installment sale contract or lease has expired. B. The breeder of an animal is defined to be the owner of the dam at the time the dam was served. RULE 2. STANDARDS OF REGISTRATION 1. Fullblood South Devon registration shall extend to and be available to all fullblood South Devon cattle provided that the following requirements are met: A. Both the sire and the dam are fullblood, or one is a fullblood and the other is at least 15/16 blood, and are registered with a South Devon Association that is a member of the South Devon Cattle Breeders World Association (provided that an extended pedigree of at least four generations is provided and verified by the Association in the country of registry), or are registered with the NASDA. B. The required information described in Part 2, C of Rule 1. shall be given in the application for registration, except that performance data is not required on animals originating from foreign registry. C. Signature of the owner and breeder shall appear on the application for registration verifying that all data on the application is true and valid to the best of their knowledge. 2. Domestic Purebred South Devon registration shall extend to and be available to all purebred South Devon cattle, providing that the following requirements are met: A. Males and females shall be 15/16 South Devon blood. B. Both the sire and the dam are registered with the NASDA. C. The required information described in Part 2, C of Rule 1 shall be given on the application for registration. D. Signature of the owner and breeder shall appear on the application for registration verifying that all data on the application is true and valid to the best of their knowledge. 3. South Devon registration shall extend to and be available to all crossbred South Devon cattle, providing that the following requirements are met: A. Males and females shall have less than 15/16 but no less than 1/4 South Devon blood. B. Both the sire and the dam are registered with the NASDA. Foundation dams of zero South Devon breeding are registered as such automatically during the registration of their first South Devon cross calf. Required information for a foundation dam is her breed and year of birth inclusively, Part 2, C of Rule 1. Notwithstanding. C. The required information described in Part 2, C of Rule 1. shall be given on the application for registration, with an exception granted to % bloods registered under the multiple sire program as defined in Part 5 of Rule 2. D. Signature of the owner and breeder shall appear on the application for registration verifying that all data on the application is true and valid to the best of their knowledge.

South Brahvon registration shall extend to and be available to all South Devon X Brahman animals as provided for in Rule 13. 5. One-half (1/2) blood males and females may be registered as a result of a multiple sire program where all of the sires used are either fullbloods or domestic purebreds registered with the NASDA, In such cases, all possible sires shall be listed on the application for registration of the animals to be registered. 6. The NASDA shall require for registration that the pedigree of every 250th female regardless of parentage and every 100th purebred or fullblood bull be authenticated by blood typing. The random selection of animals to be blood typed shall be made through the order of registration of the American Beef Records Assn.; and upon selection, the owner of the animal registered shall furnish the blood type of the sire, dam, and offspring. In the event that the information is unavailable because of the death of the sire, dam, or offspring, the next previous animal registered by that owner that can meet the criteria will be used. In the event there are no prior registrations by that owner of suitable animals, the next registered animal by that owner will be required. If said animal does not meet parentage qualifications according to the blood typing laboratory, it’s registration will be canceled until the owner submits blood typing proof of parents that do qualify. The original test expenses of the blood typing laboratory will be paid by the NASDA. RULE 3. PERFORMANCE INFORMATION-COMPLETE INVENTORY REPORTING- MANDATORY EFFECTIVE MAY 1, 1997 1. Complete Inventory Reporting (CIR) is designed to promote collection of performance records on all registered South Devon Cattle produced in order to improve the quality of the EPD’s on all South Devon Cattle. Under the CIR Program, members will pay a single annual assessment on each female of “assessment age". Cattle born after January 1, 1997 will be subject to the new annual assessment and Complete Inventory Reporting regulations. A. Assessment age is defined as females at least 16 months of age on the date of inventory, January 1. B. Payment of the annual assessment makes that animal "active" for the calendar year of inventory and entitles the breeder to: 1) register one calf born to each active female during the calendar year, (with maximum age of calf to be 16 months) and 2) transfer that calf once if the transfer occurs within 60 days of the sale and before the calf reaches the age of 16 months for females and 30 months for males. Fees after that date will be applicable to the old fee schedule. C. (1) Only calves whose dams are actively enrolled (assessment paid) for the calendar year in which the calf is born or embryos collected are eligible for registration or (2) An alternative method of registering females 1/2 blood and below which are under the age of 16 months and are out of dams not enrolled in CIR may be used providing all performance reporting requirements are met.

Cattle, goats, sheep, pigs, poultry and other livestock have been an essential part of agriculture and our history as a nation. With the change of agriculture from a way of life to a successful industry, we are losing our agricultural roots. Although we descend from a nation of farmers, few of us can name more than a handful of livestock breeds that are important to our production of food and fiber.

  • Australian South Devons – Newsletter No 2 - April 2018
    AUSTRALIAN SOUTH DEVONS – NEWSLETTER NO 2 - APRIL 2018 Welcome to the second newsletter for the year. First an apology to Rick McDouall – I made a mistake with his phone number in the last newsletter. I had a brain fade and put half of his number and half of my sisters (who lives in northern NSW too) – sorry everyone. Because of the continuing dry weather, there will be no tour associated with the AGM. In fact, Rick is not even sure he will be able to make the meeting – making sure the stock are watered is a constant worry for him (and Sue) at present – most unusual for that area. More information on the upcoming election of Councillors and AGM. The AGM will be held at 5pm on Saturday 26th May in the Uniting Church hall, cnr Canterbury and Diary Streets Casino. It is 2 blocks west of McDonalds and approx. 4 blocks from the Cecil Hotel where we are having dinner at 7.30 pm. The AGM is scheduled from 5 – 7 pm so you may need to either be a quick-change artist or come dressed as you mean to go to dinner. Apparently, it may be a good idea to park at the Hall and walk to the Hotel. Under the rules of the Constitution, two Councillors had to stand down this year, however they are available for re-election. Those two were Rick McDouall and Narelle Rossiter. You should have received your information from David McDonald regarding nominations for Council by the time this Newsletter arrives. Time is of the essence here, so have a think about the direction you want the Society to take and nominate accordingly.

  • Deciphering the Genetic Basis of Animal Domestication
    Proc. R. Soc. B (2011) 278, 3161–3170 doi:10.1098/rspb.2011.1376 Published online 1 September 2011 Review Deciphering the genetic basis of animal domestication Pamela Wiener* and Samantha Wilkinson The Roslin Institute and Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies, University of Edinburgh, Easter Bush, Midlothian EH25 9RG, UK Genomic technologies for livestock and companion animal species have revolutionized the study of animal domestication, allowing an increasingly detailed description of the genetic changes accompanying domestication and breed development. This review describes important recent results derived from the application of population and quantitative genetic approaches to the study of genetic changes in the major domesticated species. These include findings of regions of the genome that show between-breed differentiation, evidence of selective sweeps within individual genomes and signatures of demographic events. Particular attention is focused on the study of the genetics of behavioural traits and the impli- cations for domestication. Despite the operation of severe bottlenecks, high levels of inbreeding and intensive selection during the history of domestication, most domestic animal species are genetically diverse. Possible explanations for this phenomenon are discussed. The major insights from the surveyed studies are highlighted and directions for future study are suggested. Keywords: animal domestication; breed differentiation; selective sweep; population bottleneck 1. INTRODUCTION under selection are presented, as

Who wrote about it, and what could it have been? There are several can- didates,” said Miles. “There are also many other traditions at this time of year whose origins the public may not know. Where did Santa Claus come from? Why did we start bringing trees into our houses and decorating them? Why do we celebrate Christmas on December 25th? Candles, reindeer and mistletoe will all be discussed.” n Railroad exhibit Reedville Fishermen Museum will host its Northern Neck model rail- road exhibit Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays,through January 9, except Christmas and New Year’s days, and will be open December 27 to 31.

  • Breeds of Beef and Multi-Purpose Cattle
    BREEDS OF BEEF AND MULTI-PURPOSE CATTLE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The inspiration for writing this book goes back to my undergraduate student days at Iowa State University when I enrolled in the course, “Breeds of Livestock,” taught by the late Dr. Roy Kottman, who was then the Associate Dean of Agriculture for Undergraduate Instruction. I was also inspired by my livestock judging team coach, Professor James Kiser, who took us to many great livestock breeders’ farms for practice judging workouts. I also wish to acknowledge the late Dr. Ronald H. Nelson, former Chairman of the Department of Animal Science at Michigan State University. Dr. Nelson offered me an Instructorship position in 1957 to pursue an advanced degree as well as teach a number of undergraduate courses, including “Breeds of Livestock.” I enjoyed my work so much that I never left, and remained at Michigan State for my entire 47-year career in Animal Science. During this career, I had an opportunity to judge shows involving a significant number of the breeds of cattle reviewed in this book. I wish to acknowledge the various associations who invited me to judge their shows and become acquainted with their breeders. Furthermore, I want to express thanks to my spouse, Dr. Leah Cox Ritchie, for her patience while working on this book, and to Ms. Nancy Perkins for her expertise in typing the original manuscript. I also want to acknowledge the late Dr. Hilton Briggs, the author of the textbook, “Modern Breeds of Livestock.” I admired him greatly and was honored to become his close friend in the later years of his life.
