Fearn Breeding Catalogue

Beef Breeding Catalogue 2019 - 2020 Breeding Stock for Sale

Welcome to our 2019 catalogue, we live in interesting times with factors out with our control playing havoc with our markets leading to uncertainty and confusion in our industry. Our commitment to producing high quality hi-health cattle from forage based diets hasn’t diminished and if anything we are even more committed to delivering a product to the market place which is unique in terms of the way it has been bred, reared and fed. Taste tests of the progeny of the cattle we produce are on going and with the help of Macbeths butchers in Forres and our local abattoir in Dingwall we regularly have beef boxes available which sell like hot cakes to discerning consumers. This does several things for us, it gives us feed back on peoples tastes and preferences, it gives us a team a boost when we are low when our consumers compliment our product and it lets us sample the goods which is always a highlight! All of the livestock that we produce at Fearn are reared on a diet which is predominantly grass and forage, we do however supplement our bull’s diet with home grown cereals and silage throughout the winter. Our herds are BVD accredited and vaccinated and we have been Johnes accredited for 10 years at Fearn and 3 years in our Scott Farming Co Luing herd, which was founded in 2013 is now based on Nigg hill following our decision to restructure our farming in the county of Sutherland, watch this space for further developments. All bulls have been semen tested and vet checked by Kenny Johnstone of ScotVet Bull breeding Services and are ready for work.

Located where we are we realise that we may be quite some distance from many of you but please don’t let that put you off visiting, why not book into our new holiday accommodation and stay for the week enjoying the sights, sounds and smells of the area or alternatively we can point you in the right direction for awesome local hotels and b and b’s.

Alternatively why not ask us to video any bulls that are of interest or ask us to get some more photos for you to view. Delivery can also be arranged throughout mainland UK. Please get in contact with John to discuss your requirements on 07770863506, 01862832522 or email [email protected] For more information and news on our cattle and other enterprises at Fearn please see our website www.fearnfarm.com or check out our Facebook and Twitter page also.

UNDERSTANDING THE BREEDPLAN PERFORMANCE RECORDING INFORMATION IN THIS CATALOGUE Only Beef Shorthorn GROUP BREEDPLAN EBVs or INTERIM EBVs with Accuracy (Acc) can be validly compared between herds.

ESTIMATED BREEDING VALUES (EBVS) The EBV is the best estimate of an animal's genetic merit for that trait. ACCURACY An accuracy value is presented with every EBV and gives an indication of the amount of information that has been used in the calculation of that EBV. The higher the accuracy the lower the likelihood of change in the animal's EBV as more information is analysed for that animal or it's relatives. Accuracy below 75% should be considered low. CALVING EASE Calving Ease EBVs are based on calving difficulty scores, birth weights and gestation length information. More positive EBVs are favourable and indicate easier calving. DIR: Direct calving ease indicates how this animal influences the birth of its progeny. DTRS: Daughter’s calving ease indicates how well the animal produces daughters that have easier calving. BIRTH AND FERTILITY GL: Gestation Length EBV (days) is based on AI records. Lower (negative) GL EBVs indicate shorter gestation lengths which generally relate to easier calving and increased growth after birth. BWT: Birth Weight EBV (kg) is based on the measured birth weight of animals, adjusted for dam age. The lower the value the lighter the calf at birth and the lower the likelihood of a difficult birth. This is particularly important when selecting sires for use over heifers. SS: Scrotal Size EBV (cm) is an indicator of male fertility in regards to semen quality and quantity. Higher (positive) EBVs indicate higher fertility. There is also a small negative correlation with age of puberty in female progeny. GROWTH MILK: 200-Day Milk EBV (kg) is an estimate of an animal's milking ability. For sires, this EBV is indicative of their daughter’s milking ability as it affects the 200-day weight of their calves. 200: 200-Day Growth EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of animals taken between 80 and 300 days of age. Values are adjusted to 200 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal's genetic merit for growth to early ages.

400: 400-Day Weight EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 301 and 500 days of age, adjusted to 400 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal's genetic merit for yearling weight. 600: 600-Day Weight EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 501 and 900 days of age, adjusted to 600 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal's genetic merit for growth beyond yearling age. MWT: Mature Cow Weight EBV (kg) is an estimate of the genetic difference in cow weight at 5 years of age. Smaller, or more moderate EBVs are generally more favourable. CARCASE CWT: Carcase Weight EBV (kg) estimates the genetic difference in carcase weight at a standard age of 650 days. EMA: Eye Muscle Area EBV (cm2) estimates genetic differences in eye muscle area of a 300kg dressed carcase. More positive EBVs indicate better muscling on animals. FAT: Rib Fat EBV (mm) estimates the genetic differences in fat depth at the rib in a 300kg dressed carcase. More positive EBVs indicate more subcutaneous fat and earlier maturity. RBY%: Retail Beef Yield Percent EBV (%) represents total (boned out) meat yield as a percentage of a 300kg dressed carcase. A more positive EBV indicates higher percentage yield for the 300kg carcase size. IMF%: Intra-muscular Fat Percent EBV (%) is an estimate of the genetic difference in the percentage of intra-muscular fat at the 12/13th rib site in a 300kg carcase. Depending on market targets, larger more positive values are generally more favourable.

Terminal index The Shorthorn Terminal index is aimed at a commercial herd using Shorthorn bulls over dairy cross cows to breed steers and heifers to turn off at 19 months of age. All progeny are destined for slaughter and no replacement females are selected from within the herd. There is some emphasis on calving ease while finishing steers at around 580 kg live weight (310 kg carcase weight) using a pasture based production system.

Use this index in a commercial herd to produce progeny for slaughter. The index has moderate emphasis on easier calving (ie getting a live calf with minimal human interference) while producing calves that will then grow quickly to market specifications at around 19 months of age. The index is focused on slaughter animals and does not account for maternal traits and is therefore not suited to breeding replacement females.

If you are using smaller framed cows or heifers in your herd, then you should also put extra emphasis on a higher Calving Ease Direct EBV when selecting a sire using this index.

Self Replacing index - The Shorthorn Self Replacing index is aimed at a Shorthorn herd selecting replacement females from within the herd while breeding steers and excess heifers to turn off at 19 months of age. There is emphasis on calving ease and maternal traits while also looking to finish steers for slaughter at around 580 kg live weight (310 kg carcase weight) using a pasture based production system supplemented with extra rations during the finishing phase.

This Self Replacing index is also suitable to using Shorthorn sires over mixed breed cows where replacement females are sourced from within the herd. There may be some hybrid vigour expressed in the progeny depending on the breed type of the cows used. Therefore you should consider placing extra emphasis on the Calving Ease EBVs (more positive) of the sire to allow for possible heavier birth weights of his calves due to hybrid vigour.

Use this index in both commercial and pedigree herds where you are balancing the requirements of selecting replacement females while also producing animals for slaughter.

Maternal Index - The Maternal Index is designed for a commercial Beef Shorthorn cross herd that is focussed on breeding herd replacements and on weaning as many and as heavy calves as possible at 8 months of age. It estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow joined for an example Beef Shorthorn Euro cross commercial cow herd targeting the production of pasture grown calves. Steers and heifers are weaned and marketed at an average of 350kg live weight at 8 months of age for further finishing or as replacement heifers.

The Beef Shorthorn GROUP BREEDPLAN Estimated Breeding Values contained in this Sale Catalogue were compiled by the Agricultural Business Research Institute (ABRI) from data supplied by the breeders. Neither the Beef Shorthorn Cattle Society nor the ABRI oversee or audit the collection of this data.

QR CODES In this catalogue we have printed QR code for each animal, this will take you to the web page which will give you full information on pedigree, bar charts and photographs if available

Step 1 Download and install a QR code app on your smartphone if you don't yet have one. Open your App Store, Market, Marketplace or App World application (for the iPhone, Android, Windows Mobile and BlackBerry platforms, respectively).

Step 2 Search for "QR code reader," and then download and install a free app. The app should be named something to the effect of "QR Code Scanner" or "QR Scanner." There are paid versions of these kinds of apps, but the free ones work just as well.
