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?

  • 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.
