TRUSTEE VIEWPOINT

by Steve Eichacker, Salem, SD North Central Region Trustee

Why Simmental Nothing like attending a National Classic and interacting with the youth — the future of our breed — to get your battery recharged. One of the tasks assigned to yours truly was judging Junior Public Speaking. As you would expect, we saw it all, from the first-time contestant who was in no way, shape, or form going to look you in the eye and pretty much talked to their feet. I’m sure that three-minute speech seemed like two hours in the dentist chair. On the other end of the spectrum was the young lad who came up, leaned on the table, and told us everything — and then some — on how his grandpa taught him to feed, care for, and what to look for if one isn’t feeling well. Quite honestly, I don’t believe it had anything to do with his chosen topic, but we sure had a good visit and had to tell him it was time to go after his seven minutes. (And grandpa, you might want to be careful what you say around the grandkids!) This year the juniors were allowed to do a prepared speech that could be put together ahead of time at home, and they had three topics to choose from. One of those topics happened to be “Why Simmental,” which most of the contestants I judged happened to choose. As you would guess, there were a wide variety of reasons that ranged from “my dad told me I was going to show Simmental” to “I like the variety of color options Simmentals offer.” But most had their homework done and may have found the

article Chip Kemp put together and presented to the board over a year ago, stating that no matter which angle you look at Simmental we are hitting it out of the park. In a survey of beef producers, interest in using Simmental-influenced bulls has increased over 14%, which more than doubles the next closest breed. Simmental semen sales continue to skyrocket. Simmental bull sales across the country are leading the charge. Everyone wants a Simmental heifer in their show barn, as is evident by our recent National Classic, the largest we have ever had. Here in South Dakota, we just finished our All-Breeds Junior Field Day where Simmental took four of the top five overall spots! Over an eight-year period on Superior Livestock Auction, Simmental-influenced feeder calves enjoyed a sevenfold increase. Even more recent, Gordon Hodges shared that on a Superior Cornbelt Classic Auction, there were three genetic merit programs represented: Top Dollar Angus had two lots, Angus Link had nine lots, and our IGS Feeder Profit Calculator had a whopping 46 lots, or over a tenth that carried our logo. Financially, our Association is rock solid. I ask members what we can do for you, and the answer I often get is “lower our registration fees.” I will close with the chart below, which was compiled by staff, getting information from other breed associations’ websites. If you are utilizing Total Herd Enrollment and do one transfer, we are the cheapest in the business. Hope you are getting just the right amount of rain and have a bountiful harvest . . . and “Breed ’em all Simmental!”

FROM THE HEADQUARTERS by Darla Aegerter, ASA Director of Youth Activities

If you’ve ever been on a traveling tournament team, you know the unique situation we find ourselves in at AJSA Classics. We are competing against one another, but we’re also part of a team and we want to see our teammates succeed. This summer alone, we traveled to Cookeville where it was Simmental Time in Tennessee, then we went Surfing With Simmentals in Springfield, Missouri, and finally we went Showing in the Selkirks. While I don’t know how to surf, especially with a Simmental, it turns out that it’s Simmental Time everywhere and that AJSA is always worth the drive. After seven Grand Slam days in Nebraska, I think we all know: the Simmental breed our AJSA, is a championship team! Some of our recent highlights include being named Best of the Breeds by ShowTimes; having the largest of all breed shows at the inaugural Cattlemen’s Congress in Oklahoma City; seeing Simmental-influenced cattle

become the most sought-after in nearly every cattle market; and hosting the largest-ever AJSA National Classic, with 872 cattle entries and 542 contestants checked in. We won the pennant! We are a championship team. We found ourselves in the bottom of the ninth. This was the moment everyone had been working and waiting for all year. It was major league excitement at the Grand Slam AJSA National Classic. We had a great week watching some of the world’s most talented young people excel in their sport. Show season has no offseason, and all junior exhibitors put in the effort it takes to become the best and to win the title. No matter what pitch was thrown their way, all handled it with poise and confidence, and everyone gave it their best and absolutely knocked it out of the park. At the end of the fun-filled week it was a pleasure to announce our all-star lineups and overall champions of the 2021 AJSA National Classic. Now comes the part of the game no one particularly likes, but we all know it must be done. We must gather our things from the dugout, say our goodbyes to our teammates, and make the drive home. This is the part I personally was not looking forward to. As it is with much consideration that I have chosen to resign from my position here with the ASA and AJSA. I want to thank everyone for the continued support and opportunity you’ve given me to work as the director of youth activities and the manager of the Foundation the past three years. I wish you nothing but success going forward, and will miss working with the ASA staff, the senior Board, AJSA Board, the youth, the Foundation, and the Simmental breed as a whole. My employment with American Simmental Association has been an opportunity to both learn and to contribute to an industry that I hold near to my heart. I have thoroughly enjoyed working here and appreciate all the opportunities you have given me. I will always hold a special place in my heart for my Simmental family. Once again, thank you so much of the opportunity to be a part of the American Simmental Association and the American Simmental-Simbrah Foundation. I wish you and the entire breed continued success. Best wishes for a positive future. ■

Ishee Bred Simmentals Focuses on Performance Ishee Bred Simmentals raises performance-focused genetics for commercial and registered producers alike. by Lilly Platts

Editor’s note: Ishee Bred Simmentals was featured in the Stand Strong Simmental series in 2020. Ishee Bred Simmentals, Laurel, Mississippi, produces performance-focused genetics and has harnessed new technology to do so since the beginning. Tim Ishee is the fourth generation on the family operation, and has been in the Simmental business since he convinced his father to AI a

Cattle have been Ishee’s passion his entire life

group of their cows back in 1981. After seeing the added performance the breed offered, he continued to exclusively AI the cow herd for many years, breeding up to a high-quality seedstock herd. Today, Ishee remains invested in offering powerful genetics to commercial and seedstock producers alike, and believes that calving ease, performance, maternal traits, and carcass traits are the formula for success.

Ishe Bred Simmentals.qxp_Layout 1 8/20/21 8:42 AM Page 3

Making the Move to Simmental “My great-grandfather and grandfather were in business here. They were Hereford breeders. I bought my first cow when I was 12 years old and went on in business with my dad and grandfather. My grandfather got out of the business, so then it was just my dad and myself. We had a really good herd of English-cross cows,” Ishee remembers. When Ishee attended Mississippi State University, where he earned a BS in agricultural education and an MS in animal science, he realized that the family cow herd could be doing a lot more by introducing new genetics. Ishee discussed the possibilities with his father and decided to call on the unbiased data from the Meat Animal Research Center to decide which breed they should introduce. This led him to Simmental genetics, and, in 1981, he convinced his father to let him AI a small group of their females. His father was hesitant, due to the stories he had heard of AI technology being unsuccessful, but Ishee was able to get each cow to conceive. The next year, the resulting calves were proof that this was a successful plan. Ishee remembers, “When the calves came the next year, at weaning they were 100 pounds heavier than the calves by the Hereford bull.” For 17 years, Ishee AI’d the entire herd. They obtained genetics through the Carnation Genetics AI book, and later through ABS, with a focus on finding Simmental bulls with reasonable calving ease and good growth. The available metrics on each bull were minimal compared to today’s robust suite of EPD, and Ishee felt the need to hone in on the specific needs of their cow herd in making breeding decisions. He recalls, “At that time, we had EBVs (Estimated Breeding Values), and didn’t have a lot to pick from, so I made my own selection index from the EBVs.” Ishee still has the bull book where he created his own system for evaluating the EBV of each bull. That same analytical mindset continues to help Ishee make calculated breeding decisions.

Forty Years of Simmental Ishee’s commitment to performance has sustained the business over the last four decades, and today, Ishee Bred Simmentals is a trusted source for data-backed performance genetics. Ishee explains that his program focuses on balancing phenotype and data. “Today, I pick cattle based on phenotype —

they have to be phenotypically pleasing with correct feet and legs under them, a moderate frame, big-bodied — and they also need to have good EPD, performance numbers, carcass scans, and now DNA.” Southern Mississippi’s climate can be extremely hot, but can also bring freezing rain and other intense temperature changes. Focusing on cattle that shed quickly and can adapt to varying temperatures has been important to Ishee, and has also allowed him to build a diverse customer base. Ishee Bred Simmental genetics have gone into states from Montana to New Jersey, as well as internationally, including Canada and Mexico. Ishee recalls a customer in Montana who was able to finish a group of calves in 14 months, which graded over 80% choice with 86% at yield grade one or two. He also has customers in extremely hot parts of the country and in South America who are able to add Simmental genetics to their Brahman-based herds. Adding ear to cattle can be essential in order for them to survive heat, but it can also be detrimental to carcass traits. Ishee explains that this is where Simmental genetics can become beneficial, as the breed can already be tailored to hot climates while maintaining carcass quality. Ishee has been extremely involved in helping South and Central American producers improve their herds, and notes that he really values these experiences. “They are some of the fastest learners I’ve ever been around,” Ishee says. “They are just a pleasure to work with.”

Ishee Bred Simmentals sends bulls into commercial and registered herds across the country, as well as internationally.

Ishee explains that this adaptability comes down to heterosis. “Heterosis is the only ‘free lunch’ in the cattle business. We can use it to get a big upswing in things that really count, particularly when it comes to fertility on the maternal side. You can also pick up a lot of benefits with accelerated growth. It’s a win-win for everyone.” When Ishee experiences hesitance in new customers, who may be concerned about past issues in the breed, he encourages them to start with a quarter Simmental bull, and move up from there. “When they see that first cross of SimAngus on Angus, they are going to get a little bit more of everything, and that opens the door for a halfblood, threequarter, and eventually a purebred.” Longevity is extremely important for profit, and Ishee explains that he has seen how Simmental genetics can add stayability to a herd. “You don’t get a payday out of a heifer you raise until she is almost three, and then it probably takes another year or two to break even. So, you need to make sure you have longevity bred into your cattle, which covers a lot of traits like feet and leg structure, and teat and udder structure.” (Continued on page 16) September 2021 / Register

Sticking with Simmental

Ishee Bred Simmenals offers red and black genetics

Ishee first became involved with Simmental in the 1980s.

Southeast Mississippi is productive cattle country, but can be very hot which means cattle have to shed quickly.

When asked why he chose the Simmental breed in the beginning, and why he has chosen to stick with it, Ishee explains that he has always known that doing something different would be vital to being successful. “I’m a contrarian by nature, and my dad was, too. He always said, ‘If you’re not the lead dog on the sled team you know what your view is.’ So, when everyone went one way, I went the other. When Simmentals in the mid 1980s and 90s got much bigger, my dad said it would be much better and much wiser to stay in the middle of the road with big-bodied, functional cattle, and we did. We ended up selling bulls to a lot of major breeders in the Southwest.” Ishee explains that the variety in the Simmental breed makes it a valuable part of the beef industry. “Simmentals can offer a lot. We have a big, diverse gene pool to pull from, and you can find any trait or a number of traits that you want. Also, we have the $API and $TI index, which makes it simple for commercial producers to dial in what they want.” Carcass scanning has been important to Ishee for many years, and, more recently, he has taken advantage of genomic technology. “We know that with genomics we can take a very young sire, and before he even produces calves, we can raise his accuracies and see a better snapshot of his EPD potential,” Ishee explains. “It is just going to get bigger and more complex as we go.” These tools have helped Ishee make sustainable progress in his cow herd over the years. “If you try to use all of the traits and move everything, it’s a slow go but it pays off in the end,” he explains. This focus on balancing traits and utilizing new tools has allowed Ishee to raise a number of breed-leading sires. Mr Ishee Red Density, ASA number 2466650, went into stud at Select Sires, and was a successful part of the Ishee program. “He’s probably one of the best carcass sires that has come from here in a long time,” Ishee says. Recently, Mr Ishee Justified 605D, ASA number 3157470, has been a standout for the program. Owned in partnership with Fred Smith, this sire’s numbers and performance stood out from the beginning. Ishee takes a lot of pride in producing these top-tier genetics. “It makes it a lot of fun. It puts a star in your crown because that’s the thing I’ve been working for my whole life, to produce a bull like that.”

For the Future The cattle business has been the primary focus of Ishee’s life, and he is now working alongside his son, who is the fifth generation at Ishee Bred Simmentals. The cattle business has provided for Ishee over the years, helping raise a family and put his kids through college, and he is thankful for the opportunities it has provided. “I really love working with cattle people,” Ishee says. “They are some of the most interesting people that you will ever come into contact with. They are nurturing people, they love to grow things and see new crops and new babies. They are very adaptive as well, and some of the fastest learners I’ve ever been around. “It’s just a pleasure to work on the farm my grandfather started with my great-grandfather. We’re continuing to try and do better all the time,” Ishee concludes. ■

Tim and Reese Ishee. Reese is the fifth generation on the family operation.

9-ASA Foundation Golf Tournament fp 4c.qxp_Layout 1 8/18/21 2:59 PM Page 1

The fifth Annual American Simmental-Simbrah Breeders Cup Golf Tournament on June 26 at the Indianhead Golf Club in Grand Island, Nebraska, went off without a hitch. The weather was perfect, the golf course was beautiful and 13 teams from Minnesota to Utah to Texas to Kentucky and West Virginia had many laughs throughout the day. “This is a great event for us to get together with our buddies that we can’t golf with all the time because we live so far apart and have some fun while raising money for the kids,” said Paul Hill of Colorado. There was some steep competition on the course, as well as amongst all the fun as the Long Drivers and Short Putters team of Scott Fredrick, Tyler Babbs, Justin Adcock and Sherm Clark took home the gold at 12 under par with a final core of 55. Taking the silver medal was Team Texas Youth Expo with Mike Mackey, Chris Beins, Heath Seigmond, and John Mixon, at eight under par with a score of 60. The top winning team were awarded with certificates to Nichols Cryo Genetics and Vogler Enterprises for a day collection of the bull of choice. The second place team were awarded with certificates to a Magna Wave treatment from Abby Badger with Prime Performance Therapies. Everyone was a winner for the day as all the participants were given a welcome bag of goodies filled with a Sure Champ hat sponsored by BioZyme, samples of the new Show Fresh H2O water treatment product and a sleeve a golf balls sponsored by Kreg Tool Company. The American Simmental-Simbrah Foundation Breeders Cup Golf Tournament was designed to raise funds for the youth of the Simmental and Simbrah breeds. The 2021 tournament raised over $7,400 that is earmarked for the Merit Scholarship Awards and The Summit Leadership Conference. We could not have done that without the generosity of the donations from our sponsors of the tournament and cannot say THANK YOU enough for your support. Mark your calendars for the sixth Annual American SimmentalSimbrah Breeders Cup Golf Tournament to be held in conjunction with the AJSA National Classic in Madison, WI, July 10-16, 2022. It will be exciting to see the Wisconsin and Illinois crews join forces to host the event!

“I love this program and appreciate that it is flexible for other activities. I like it more when Cowan can be on the live webinar but that’s life. The data is awesome, and it a great learning experience. Many of the assignments were high level. I think that is great but can be daunting when even the parents aren’t awesome at it.” – Natasha Mortenson, participant “She really enjoyed it all, and the varied content was awesome! The hands on things she enjoyed more than the papers, but that is her being young.” – Chelsea Faulhaber, parent “I enjoyed participating in the SPC Contest this year a ton. My favorite part was honestly probably making my steers ration! It was so different than any of the other assignments and it honestly took things to a whole different perspective for me. As always, every year I seem to learn more and more. I love the topics that the webinars go over and they have awesome speakers/presenters this year so it made it really fun to listen to. There was nothing that I disliked this year, you guys all made it really fun for me anyways and I really enjoyed it.” – Audrey Redalen, participant “I greatly appreciate how this program has continued to be open to feedback and evolve! An example that especially resonates with me as a parent is how the assignments have developed into truly educational experiences. The first year of the SPC program primarily focused on the assignments summarizing the content of the webinars. This year the participants have had the opportunity to showcase through a number of different avenues what they’ve learned. These learning activities accommodate diverse types of learning styles and help to solidify the information in a meaningful way! As a parent and a Simmental breeder, this program is so valuable in my eyes. Please continue to communicate what we can do to support this program!” – Abbie Redalen, parent “I liked to learn about everything and I think it will all help me moving forward.” – Cowan Mortenson, participant “I enjoy the data! Grace and I enjoy working together, particularly using good data for making decisions and then evaluating our results. This is one of the reasons we continue to participate in the SPC, to learn more about our own operation from the terminal side. I am encouraged that she gets excited about topics that she is learning from.” – Chuck Ewing, parent

2022 AJSA Steer Profitability Competition The AJSA Steer Profitability Competition (SPC) is designed to provide junior members meaningful exposure to the opportunities and challenges associated with cattle feeding. The SPC will not only allow participants to measure and compare the profitability of their own animal(s), but of greater importance, it will introduce young beef enthusiasts to peers, mentors, industry advocates, and experiences that are exceedingly difficult to acquire for any beef producer. Participants in the SPC program will be powerful voices as they transition from junior membership to adult participation within the beef industry.

BACK TO BASICS by Emme Demmendaal and Jackie Atkins, PhD

How to Take the Most Accurate Records at Weaning Time Weaning Weight Maybe you take weaning weights every year, or you’re starting to take weaning weights for the first time this fall. Knowing or refreshing on the best way to record and report your weights to the Association will provide you with more accurate data returned on your calf crop. Here are some ways to ensure the most accurate measurements.

■ Measure as close to 205 days of age with an acceptable window (with ASA) from 160–250 days of age.

Docility Docility is collected at either weaning or yearling time.

■ Score an entire age group of cattle at the same time (don’t score some at weaning and others at yearling). If you collect docility scores at a separate time than weaning, you’ll want to report the separate date. ■ Grab a chute scoring method used by the ASA rubric (found online). ■ Have one person do all the scoring (avoid one person doing some of the cattle and another person scoring the other portion). Consistency is key to subjective measurements like docility.

■ Measure weights to the nearest whole pound increment. ■ Calibrate and clean the scale periodically. ■ Take empty body weights — in other words, cattle waiting to be weighed that are drinking water will be heavier than their cohorts weighed without waterfill. ■ Ideally, weigh all cattle in the same pasture group on the same day.

Other measurements taken at weaning time are hip height and sheath/navel score. You can find more in-depth tips on how to measure and record this data by going online to Simmental.org. When reporting weaning weights, docility, hip height, and sheath/navel score to the ASA, you can also report how the animal was managed, Management Code (MC), and pasture unit (PU). Both types of information help with determining environmental and contemporary factors. ■

Women of ASA 9-21.qxp_Layout 1 8/20/21 9:17 AM Page 2

Women of ASA by Emme Demmendaal

Editor’s Note: Women of ASA is a series highlighting significant contributions of women in the Simmental community. ShayLe (Hildebrand) Stewart has been an advocate for educating the cattle industry about the marketplace through her platform Cattle Market News and working as a Data Transmission Network (DTN) livestock news market analyst, as well as running a SimAngus cow herd in Cody, Wyoming, alongside her husband, Jimmy.

ShayLe Stewart Born and raised on a commercial cow-calf operation in Joliet, Montana, ShayLe (Hildebrand) Stewart grew up like many ranch kids, with a deep passion for agriculture and the beautiful life it brings, but she didn’t know exactly how to tie her passion for the industry into the next stage of life. It wasn’t until she was attending Northwest College, in Powell, Wyoming, that she discovered the variety of career opportunities in the agricultural community. One particular internship with the United States Cattlemen’s Association pivoted her career by showing her the need for more cattlemen to have an in-depth understanding of the cattle market. During this USCA internship, Stewart was saturated with the ins and outs of the cattle market, and she says, “We dove into the challenges, where the market falls short, and, honestly, the taboo and unknown nature of the cattle market in general. It dawned on me that we have an entire sector of the cattle market where people don’t feel comfortable even talking about how they market and sell their cattle because they’re not sure what to say, and are afraid of looking dumb, but yet this is how their operations get paid year in and year out.” Bridging the gap between the unknown and the producer, Stewart created a platform called Cattle Market News, where cattlemen have the hard conversations about the market and ease some of the fearful nature of those conversations. Since its start, the platform has grown to 18,000-plus people following on Facebook. The end goal is to be a one-stop shop for people to understand what is going on in their marketplace, and someShayLe and Jimmy Stewart with their where where they can two dogs Mac and Teeka. easily click and listen, and not have to feel self-conscious about asking any question that comes to mind. Stewart explains why she felt pulled into starting Cattle Market News. “For the most part, we as cattlemen are paid on a market that we don’t understand. We don’t understand why we sell when we sell, we don’t understand why we sell what we sell, and we don’t understand necessarily how the transaction even transpires. We just know that we sell calves around this date and they wean off typically around this weight, and this is the way we’ve always marketed them so we’re going to continue to do so. I wanted to help bridge the gap of not knowing the cattle market, so we can grow and gain an understanding of the market environment. It’s not something that’s easily understood. At the end of the day, I want to hit the nail on the head by answering some of the tough questions people have.” Her love for the cattle market led her to DTN where she is now a Livestock Market Analyst. She shares, “Day in and day out, I watch the livestock market. I watch the price of the feeder and live cattle contracts, and I report on all cash cattle trades. This started as an opportunity at a relatively young age that has just grown bigger and bigger and bigger, and I am forever thankful because it is truly my dream job.”

Big Country Genetics bulls lined up on a fall morning.

In addition to Cattle Market News and DTN, Stewart, along with her husband, Jimmy, runs a registered SimAngus™ cattle operation called Big Country Genetics outside of Cody, Wyoming. On the high desert, Stewart’s seedstock cattle are managed just like their commercial customers down the road. “When people come to us to buy cattle, they do so knowing that these cattle will not melt and will maintain flesh in any environment. Due to the way that we run them, our cattle work in a multitude of situations, they excel in fleshing ability and fertility. Our customers also know that feet and leg structure are a must in the country that we run in. We follow up our quest for well-structured livestock with a three-year guarantee on feet and legs on every bull that sells in our Big Country Genetics Bull Sale.” In addition to using EPD, indexes, and DNA testing, Big Country Genetics firmly believes that crossbreeding is a fundamental practice in sustainability and profitability for themselves, their customers, and the beef industry as a whole. She says, “We are a young operation, and we need our cows to work for us. First and foremost, our cows are required to have an extremely high maternal instinct, calve outside and unassisted, raise quality calves and be extremely fertile all while grazing ten-plus months out of the year. We require our cows to work because we believe that where there is no selection pressure, there is no clear way to see one’s quality when compared to another. We feel that the only way to properly serve our commercial customers is to run our cows as similar to them as possible.” Stewart points out that a rancher wears many hats to be successful, from being an economist, market analyst, and geneticist, to an agronomist and a shepherd. She says crossbreeding is the fundamental part of the business because they depend on their cow herd to hold their own through market lulls. “That’s where crossbreeding comes into play, because we take the advantages of both the Angus and Simmental genetics, and we put it into a package that is able to produce and to sustain far greater than what the typical straight-bred cow is able to do.” At the end of the day, Stewart sees that profitability on cattle trade affects not only the feedlot, but also the cow-calf producers and seedstock breeders. She summarizes, “I love being able to report on the market and help get its voice stronger out to the countryside. That way, cattlemen understand how essentially all these markets are tied together, and they have to work together. And so profitability isn’t being sought in one essence of the market; it does eventually trickle into affecting the other sides as well.” To follow ShayLe’s market reports, follow her Facebook page “Cattle Market News.” ■

WS Enhancement 25H ASA# 3764886 CMP Class of 2021

The American Simmental Association Carcass Merit Program (CMP) is the beef industry’s most demanding and informative young sire test. The program is a hallmark of ASA breed improvement for economically relevant carcass traits. Commercial producers play an integral part in this project.

Participants receive: u $60 for each AI-sired calf with carcass information u Free semen on top young herd sires u Free ASA Genetic Evaluation on your cowherd u Free genotyping on terminal progeny u Keep any or all replacement females Become a Carcass Merit Program test herd today To learm more about the CMP visit www.simmental.org, then click Carcass Merit Program under the Commercial tab. Questions, contact lgiess@simmgene.com for more information regarding this program.

*The CMP is a structured young sire progeny test. Participating cooperator herds will random sample their cowherd with CMP semen, and the resulting male (or female) progeny will be harvested with individual carcass data gathered. ASA Staff will work with cooperator herds to provide bulls that fit the general criteria of your management program, however only bulls nominated into the CMP program may be used. Producers are encouraged to be somewhat proficient in Microsoft excel for accurate and consistent record keeping.

Simmental Provides Open-breed Registration Promotion.qxp_Layout 1 8/20/21 10:38 AM Page 2

Knowledge is a powerful tool for success. The American Simmental Association (ASA) recognizes that informed, data-driven decisions improve the bottom line for both seedstock and commercial producers. Making access to complete herd data easier, the ASA Board of Trustees recently passed an open-breed promotion to dualregister cows that are registered with another breed association at the nominal rate of $5.00 per head for fiscal year 2022. As the ASA runs an open herdbook to any breed and believes strongly in the benefits of crossbreeding, many members of the ASA raise a variety of breeds of seedstock. Dual registry enables breeders to garner EPD from the largest multi-breed beef cattle genetic evaluation with the International Genetics Solutions (IGS), opens opportunities with other programs available from the ASA, and paints a more complete picture of the herd when all cows are in the database.

“We are taking away that cost-based hurdle for any person who wants access to the IGS Multi-breed Genetic Evaluation to receive a multi-breed, directly comparable EPD,” shares Chip Kemp, ASA director of Commercial and Industry Operations. “If someone has been intrigued by our database but was holding out, this is the opportunity to invest, and bring a large group of females into the IGS database for a credible multi-breed EPD.”

Starting in July 2021, the ASA will reduce the rate to register a cow already registered in another recognized breed association from $17.00 to $5.00 for the 2022 fiscal year (July 1, 2021, to June 30, 2022). ASA’s director of Performance Data Programs, Jannine Story, shares that by dual-registering females, cattle producers take advantage of more meaningful data by creating ties to other offspring and animals in the genetic evaluation. “Not only is this a clear advantage for current members to receive a more complete picture of their herd’s performance through fuller pedigrees,” she says, “but also, this openbreed registration promotion, coupled with our various Total Herd Enrollment options, provides any producer, who may have not had access to a multi-breed evaluation before, timely access to weekly updated, low-cost, cross-breed directly comparable EPD on cows and calves.” Any person can apply for registration on an animal registered with another breed association. To take advantage of ASA’s open-breed registration promotion, all dual-registration requests must be received or postmarked during the 2022 fiscal year. To get started, email a list of the other breed association numbers with tattoos to simmental@simmgene.com. ■

Tracked Shipping Recommended by ASA’s DNA Department ASA’s DNA Department strongly recommends members send all DNA samples in a tracked package. This can be through any carrier, so long as a tracking number is available. We also strongly suggest that kits are sent to members in a tracked package, as the extra cost can eliminate delays in regular USPS shipping, and also limit the chance of the package being lost in transit. Priority shipping is the only way to cut down on the time it takes to get a sample tested, as there are no priority options at the lab. Upon arrival at the lab, testing takes three to four weeks, and additional time is often necessary for genomic panels to run through the evaluation.

Board Updates AI Sire and Donor Dams Qualification Policy Recently, Neogen updated their mid-level genomic panel from ~50,000 SNPs to ~100,000 SNPs. In Herdbook, animals with the former genomic panel are denoted with a 47K or C47K for Cow Herd DNA Roundup (CHR) samples. The current updated genomic panel is denoted with a 100K in Herdbook (C100K for CHR and A100K for Calf Crop Genomics samples). The ASA Board of Trustees recently approved the updated 100K genomic panel to qualify AI sires and donor dams. Animals with a completed 100K, C100K, or A100K panel will automatically qualify as a donor dam or AI sire. Animals with a completed 47K panel will not qualify and must be re-tested at the 100K level in order to become an approved AI sire or donor dam. The genomic panel costs $50 to approve an AI sire or donor dam; add-on options and prices remain the same. The 100K genomic panel continues to be ASA’s recommendation for animals that will make a large impact in herds and is the only genomic panel with add-on pricing for coat color, horned/polled, and genetic condition panel. Please contact ASA’s DNA Department with questions.

Herdbook Update to Birth Weight Ratio and Collection Method The ASA Board of Trustees has passed a resolution to change the direction of the ratio for birth weights so that larger ratios are assigned to animals with heavier birth weights in their contemporary group and vice versa. This resolution came about to standardize the direction of the ratios so that higher ratios uniformly mean more of that trait. Additionally, breeders can now indicate if they use hoof tape to estimate birth weight in Herdbook. There is a column called “BwMethod” next to the column where birth weights are entered in the animal entry page. If the weights were estimated using hoof tape, then simply put a T in the “BwMethod” column. If birth weights were obtained using a scale, there is no need to enter anything. ■

9-ASA Priority Handling fp 4c.qxp_Layout 1 8/18/21 4:38 PM Page 1

Herdbook Services offers hands-on registration capabilities.

To help you plan, here are some items which may hold up registration for a length of time:

You enter the data, work through any errors, pay the fees; registration will be completed in minutes. No priority handling fee, no hold-ups (unless there are errors or payment is needed) and can be completed any time of the day or night.

1. DNA / Genetic Abnormalities / Parental Validation / AI Sire / ET Requirements: DNA Testing is a standard process without any options to expedite this service. a. Normal DNA Testing: 3-4 weeks for results. Sample failure and misidentified samples doubles this time. b. DNA kit paperwork requests: 48-hour turnaround 2. Non-Compliance: Total Herd Enrollment breeders: there is a deadline each year where the previous year’s calf data must be submitted. You’ll be notified of the dams in your herd which need calf data or a reason the cow didn’t calve when you go online to submit new registrations. Until this information is completed, no new data will be accepted. 3. Foundation Registration: Sires registered with other breed associations MUST be registered with ASA prior to registering progeny. Other breed dams may be registered with ASA as a Foundation, but it is optional, not mandatory. Normal processing is 10-12 business days (error-free, payment received, DNA requirements completed). 4. Breeder Signature: If the owner of the dam at the time of conception is different than the person applying for registration, ASA requires the breeder to sign off on the calf you are registering. Make sure the breeder signs the calf’s registration application or breeding information is supplied on the transfer of the dam. If the dam was sold with the calf at side, make sure the seller has registered and transferred the calf to you. 5. Non-payment: Payment is required to complete registrations.

Interesting fact: 90.8% of the animal data is already submitted electronically through Herdbook Services! Why the encouragement to go online and register the animal yourself? 1. Registrations and transfers needing faster than the normal turnaround will be charged $50 priority processing fee per animal. This $50 fee can be avoided by going online and completing the registration or transfer yourself. 2. Complete the registration online and if you need it mailed by FedEx or UPS send a request via email (simmental@simmgene.com) for special shipping. Note: there is a charge for shipping unless mailed by regular US Mail. Plan ahead and avoid those charges. Need more encouragement to register online? 1. Normal processing (registration) on paper applications for SimGenetic animals (once received in the ASA office): 3-7 business days (error-free and payment received) depending on the time of year — holiday season could extend turnaround. 2. Mailing services: within three days of processing (registration) plus the length of time for the US Mail service. The Customer Service Specialists are just a phone call away to assist you. 1. There are peak times and days where there are large volumes of calls (especially as it closes in on a deadline, you are not alone if you are one who waits until the last minute). 2. If you are unable to get through, feel comfortable leaving a voicemail. Our goal is to return calls as soon as possible, normally within 3-4 hours. If your question can be answered by email, send an email instead of a voice message to: simmental@simmgene.com

Priority Handling Processing Service: ASA offers priority handling services if you are unable to complete your registration online. If the data is error-free and payment is received, normal turnaround time for registration is within two business days. There is a priority handling processing fee $50 per animal. Regular US Mail service is at no charge; however, other mailing services (i.e. FedEx, UPS or Express Mail) will incur additional charges.

FLECKVIEH FORUM By Larry Maxey, Founder and Superintendent, NAILE Fullblood Simmental Shows larryhmaxey@gmail.com

Author’s Note: This is the thirteenth in the series Our Pioneers

Our Pioneers — Dr. Ray R. Woodward (September 27, 1916 to October 17, 2005) Dr. Ray R. Woodward was a fourth-generation Montanan. He was born in Willow Creek, where he attended elementary and high school. In 1939, he graduated from Montana State University and afterward found a position with the Northern Montana Research Station in Havre. In 1942 after the onset of WWII, he joined the Army Air Corps as a cadet. He would later be deployed to Italy where he Dr. Woodward flew 50 combat missions on B24 bombers. He was not prone to talk about his war experiences, but during a private interview with Robert C. de Baca, author of Courageous Cattlemen, and only after some friendly inquiry, Ray provided the following account of being shot down and forced to land on a 1,000-foot US fighter pilot field on the island of Vis, off Yugoslavia: “We tied our parachutes to our waist guns and when we hit the runway, we popped the chutes and stopped the plane just right. The plane is probably still there today.” Following the war, Ray worked at the Fort Keogh Research Station. In 1952, he decided to attend the University of Minnesota where he earned his Doctorate of Animal Genetics in 1953. Returning to Fort Keogh, he became internationally renowned for cattle breeding research, and was a member of the team that developed the Miles City Line 1 cattle. According to Mr. de Baca, Ray commented on his work at Miles City as follows: “Most of the early good work on beef cattle was done at Miles City, especially the heritability work. Once the data were in on the heritability studies and it was proven that the economic traits were inherited . . . we could then go out and do something about it with the cattle population.” In 1950, John Rockefeller Prentice, the founder-owner of American Breeders Service (ABS, originally American Dairy Guernsey Associates) came to Miles City in search of bulls for his AI stud. That was the beginning of a good relationship.

Finally, in 1960, “Rock” convinced Dr. Woodward to join ABS. He was given the responsibility to acquire and develop a beef bull battery for ABS. Their aim was to sell beef bull semen based primarily on ratios and heritability of traits rather than absolute progeny test data. His role at ABS was in the vanguard of the introduction of multiple breeds of cattle from the European continent. During de Baca’s interview, Woodward provided an in-depth explanation on the methodology and system developed by Canada and the US to allow for the importation of cattle from Europe to North America, a subject covered in previous pieces for this series. Beginning in 1965 and continuing through 1974, Woodward visited Europe twice per year selecting cattle. His first two imports were Charolais bulls. And, he said, “I traveled with Travers Smith in France when he purchased Parisien.” Dr. Woodward was a founding member of the ASA Board of Trustees, and was given the task of writing the performance requirements. He said, “Of all the fun I’ve had in my life, none exceeds writing the performance requirements for the American Simmental Association, which have been fairly widely copied. I wrote them one Saturday afternoon in the ABS office. As one of the early directors of the ASA, they handed me the job of writing rules and regulations to include performance requirements. The rules stuck pretty well. As a geneticist, I thought it was a milestone to have performance as an integral part of breed registration. That’s why I thought it was such fun.” Space here doesn’t allow for more details about the incredible career and achievements of this remarkable man. However, naming some of the many awards he received are necessary to summarize his accomplishments and recognition. They include the following: Fellow, American Society of Animal Science; Recognition by the World Simmental Fleckvieh Federation; Beef Improvement Federation Pioneer Award; Superior Service Award from the USDA; American Hereford Association Hall of Fame; the prestigious honor of a place in the Saddle & Sirloin Portrait Collection, and numerous other awards just as exemplary. Dr. Ray R. Woodward was a true pioneer that we in the Simmental family can proudly recognize as one of our own. The North American beef cattle industry is a direct beneficiary of his hard work and dedication. We are forever grateful! Note: de Baca, Robert C. Courageous Cattlemen.

AJSA CONNECTION Developing leaders through friendship, networking, and communication skills!

by Martha Moenning, AJSA President

It seems like each summer goes by in the blink of an eye, and this year was no exception. Like many others, my summer was jampacked. While I’m used to a busy and hectic schedule, this year was different. After numerous plane tickets, different cities, and late nights, it was apparent this summer was a season of growth, change, and new experiences for me. In May I graduated from Butler Community College in El Dorado, Kansas. I quickly repacked and headed out to West Lafeyette, Indiana, to begin working with the National Junior Swine Association (NJSA) and National Swine Registry (NSR). During my first few weeks, I assisted in daily operations to prepare for shows, and on the weekends went home for several jackpot shows. In the beginning of June, I was in Indianapolis for The Exposition. A week later, I was flying to Grand Island for the AJSA National Classic. After the banquet, I flew to Louisville, Kentucky, for the NJSA and NSR Summer Spectacular. After the conclusion of this, I flew back to Minnesota to show at the Minnesota Youth Livestock Expo. After a long few weeks, I made it back to Indiana to finish my internship. At the end of July, I moved my things back home, went to a few

jackpots, and then headed to Amarillo, Texas, for the IGS Summit. In August, my schedule looks very similar with shows, state fair, and moving into school at South Dakota State University! This summer I learned to embrace the new. When I graduated from Butler, I said goodbye to my closest friends and left my “home.” It was intimidating to move to an unfamiliar place with people I vaguely knew. However, my concerns did not last long because I was welcomed with open arms by the staff at the NSR and NJSA. Another new experience this summer was working in the show pig industry. The Exposition and NSR Summer Spectacular were daunting to me, simply because I was unfamiliar with these events. However, by using the skills I learned in the AJSA, I was able to be a reliable team member. Change and new experiences can seem nerve-wracking, but it’s in these moments that we grow the most personally. My summer could have been much different had I not taken the opportunity to step outside of my comfort zone. During the chaos, I was reminded of just how much I had grown and learned. Personal trainer Jillian Micheals said, “Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.” My guidance to juniors is to be curious about what could be on the other side of your comfort zone. Try something new, fill up your schedule, and embrace the chaos. Growth is not far away! ■

Global Meat Production to Rise Meat production on the global level is expected to expand by 2.2% to 346 million tonnes during 2021. The increase is attributed to higher output from China, Brazil, Vietnam, the European Union, and the United States. The forecast is listed in a new report from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Partially offsetting the growth are anticipated contractions in production in Australia, the Philippines, and Argentina, the FAO said. Recovering from two years of decline, world pork output is forecast to grow by 4.2% to 114 million tonnes. The expected level is still down 5.4% from 2018, when African swine fever began rapidly spreading in East Asia, especially China. Most expansion this year is expected in China, with moderate increases in Vietnam, the EU, Russia, Brazil, and Mexico. World beef production is forecast to rise by 1.2% to 72 million tonnes, with significantly higher growth anticipated in the United States, Brazil, and China. In the US, demand for meat products is expected to be stronger than last year as the economy rebounds from the pandemic’s impact. Global poultry is forecast to expand by 1.3% to 135 million tonnes, mainly driven by increases in China, Brazil, and the EU. International meat prices climbed 9.4% between January and May, mostly due to import demand from China and Vietnam to offset supply deficits despite expanding domestic production, along with demand from the Middle East, driven by increasing petroleum prices, the hospitality industry, and high interest in halal-certified meat. Global pork prices strengthened 11.3%, poultry prices by 9.3%, and beef prices gained 8.6%. In China, meat production growth is expected across all meat types, especially pork, driven by large investments to improve meat value chains and biosafety. Swift recovery from African swine-fever-induced output contraction is also anticipated in Vietnam. By contrast, meat production is likely to fall in Australia due to herd building, and in Argentina due to lower cattle supplies. In parts of Africa, Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean, meat value chains remain under strain due to continued COVID-19 market restrictions, rising feed costs, limited cattle supplies, or drought.

Does Breeding to Beef Sires Alter Dam Productivity? by Maureen Hanson, Bovine Veterinarian Beef-on-dairy breeding is a growing phenomenon, not just in the US, but worldwide. In Ireland, more than half of dairy matings now are made using beef sires, according to Dr. Donagh Berry, director of VistaMilk SFI Centre and Teagasc geneticist, County Cork, Ireland. The practice continues to grow at a rate of about 2% per year there. Berry recently took advantage of Ireland’s massive dairy database — which, among other factors, tracks mating data — to explore a compelling question: Does carrying a beef-sired calf have any impact on the subsequent performance of the dam?

“In science, we like to start with a hypothesis to predict the outcome of a study,” Berry told Dr. Barry Bradford, host of the Virtual Coffee Break podcast from the Michigan State University Extension Dairy Team. “In this case, I truly had no preconceived opinion.” He imagined the cow’s anatomy “saying” one of two things: 1: “I’m carrying this big, chunky, beef calf, so I need to channel more of my metabolic resources to growing it, and I might produce less milk as a result,” or 2: “I have this big calf to raise, so I’m going to produce more milk to feed it.” To test both schools of thought, Berry evaluated more than 350,000 Irish matings and subsequent dam performance. About two-thirds were dairy-on-dairy (Holstein-Friesian) pregnancies, and one-third beef-on-dairy. In addition to milk and component production, Berry looked at milk quality and reproductive performance in terms of the speed at which dams returned to their next pregnancy. A key edit imposed on the data was that no cows in the study required assistance when calving. The results: Berry found very little difference between the performance of dams that carried dairy calves and those that delivered crossbred calves. Milk production was slightly lower in the beef-on-dairy group at an average 50 kilograms (110 pounds) — or about one day’s production — less for the entire lactation. While this was considered a statistically significant difference, both researchers noted it was negligible in terms of the overall value proposition of producing a dairy-beef crossbred. Bradford calculated the milk loss to amount to less than $20 US in lost revenue, which would be dramatically offset by the fact that male dairy-beef calves generally fetch double the sale price or more compared to purebred dairy calves. In the US, that difference currently is at least $100 per head in most markets. Both milk components and post-calving reproductive efficiency were unaffected by sire type. There was a significant but minor increase in somatic cell count (SCC) in cows that carried crossbreds. Berry evaluated the data not just on dairy versus beef sires, but also looked at beef breeds, sire carcass weights and conformation (muscling). While breed differences did exist, they were very minor. “The most important comparison was beef breeds in general versus Holstein-Friesian, and even then, the differences were minimal,” he said. One element of caution regarding beef genetics is that some bulls can contribute to greater calving difficulty. The impact of such was removed from the analysis so that the testing of the study hypothesis was not clouded by calving difficulty. Berry advised dairy producers to strategically utilize calving ease data when selecting beef sires. Another advantage of using beef sires: no inbreeding concerns. “In the Holstein breed, we have to be so careful with our matings to avoid inbreeding; this is not an issue at all when breeding to beef sires,” said Berry. “As long as demand is there for beef animals, crossbreeding with beef sires is an area of huge potential for dairy producers.” ■

JBS Leaves NCBA In a somewhat surprising move, JBS has quietly left the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA), the trade organization that represents many cattle producers and feeders. Apparently JBS suspended its membership in NCBA about a year ago, but has continued to stay in communication. The giant beef processor suspended its dues as part of an annual review process to determine the benefit and effectiveness of its trade association relationships, but remains involved in a number of NCBA activities. “We continue to support US producers through our daily participation in cash cattle markets and through state producer associations,” the organization said through a spokesperson. First reported by Politico news outlet, the departure of JBS comes as NCBA has joined a growing chorus of calls for greater transparency in the cattle market and more scrutiny of market consolidation. Lawmakers from both houses of the US Congress earlier had asked the Department of Justice (DOJ) to provide a public update on its antitrust investigation into the US beef industry. NCBA has also called for the DOJ to complete its investigation to determine whether price disparities in the market that disadvantage producers are the result of “anti-competitive or other inappropriate practices in the packing sector.” The North American Meat Institute maintains that the beef market is competitive and growing despite a recent series of disruptions, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2019 fire at Tyson Foods’ plant in Holcomb, KS. A USDA investigation after the fire looked into the ensuing decline in fed cattle prices and surge in choice beef prices and found no meat packer wrongdoing. JBS has said that it has taken no position on any suggested legislative changes addressing the US cattle market.

Livestock Services Tyson to Implement New Animal Welfare System Tyson Foods said it will begin integrating a new animal welfare assessment framework known as the Five Domains across its global operations. The Five Domains model, as devised by Professor David Mellor of New Zealand’s Massey University, and his colleagues, focuses on the promotion of positive mental states across four assessment areas — nutrition, physical environment, health, and behavior — that collectively contribute to the fifth domain, which is the mental state of the animal. Tyson’s adoption of the Five Domains system is part of its commitment to drive continuous improvement in its animal welfare practices through research, learning, and the evolution of ideas, the protein giant said in a press release. Tyson said it acknowledges the importance of the Five Freedoms welfare framework: freedom from hunger and thirst; freedom from discomfort; freedom from pain, injury, or disease; freedom to express normal behavior; and freedom from fear and distress in the development of its animal welfare approach. The company said it made the strategic decision to transition from the Five Freedoms to the Five Domains last year, and is now moving ahead with wide-scale integration of the platform across its businesses. Tyson has an external Animal Welfare Advisory Panel made up of 13 external subject matter experts, an internal Global Animal Welfare Council, and 54 specially trained animal welfare specialists who are dedicated to promoting the importance of animal welfare across the company, maintaining standards, and directly facilitating improvements. More information on Tyson’s animal welfare and sustainability practices can be found at tysonsustainability.com. ■

Culling Open Cows, Adding Replacement Females Are Strategies for Maximizing Herd Reproductive Efficiency Kansas State University Extension In any successful business, decision-makers are always adjusting to outside influences. In the cattle business, culling decisions sometimes are made on reproductive status and feed availability. Culling and biosecurity were two topics of discussion on a recent Kansas State University Beef Cattle Institute Cattle Chat podcast. Culling Time “Oftentimes producers cull cows in the fall, but mid- to late summer can be a good time of year to early preg-check (pregnancy) those females and cull the open or short-bred ones,” said K-State veterinarian Bob Larson. Short-bred females are those that conceived late in the breeding season, according to Larson.He said veterinarians are able to check for pregnancy status 40–50 days past conception, and if they are using ultrasound technology, pregnancies can be dated at 30–35 days post-conception. “One reason to do that now is to identify the cattle that are going to leave the herd and get them off the pasture ahead of when lots of cattle will be entering the marketplace,” Larson said.Cattle are sold by the pound, so another consideration might be to hold on to those culled cows longer and give them additional feed resources to help garner a higher selling price, said the experts. “Producers really need to look at the economics of that decision, because in a drought situation where the cows are thin and feed costs are high, it may not make sense to hold on to those cows longer and give them additional feed,” nutritionist Phillip Lancaster said. Herd Biosecurity Conversely, if cattle are leaving the herd, producers may also be looking to add replacement heifers and cows to the ranch, and the experts say applying biosecurity measures will be key to maintaining herd health. “Any time there are new additions to the herd, we recommend a 15–30-day quarantine,” said K-State veterinarian Brian Lubbers. “This quarantine is especially important if you are bringing in outside cattle to a reproductive herd.” The quarantine means the cattle have no nose-to-nose contact or opportunity for oral/fecal contact, Lubbers said. While this quarantine will allow some diseases to appear if the cattle are contagious, it won’t show them all, according to Larson. “There are some diseases that have persistent carrier states in which the animal doesn’t appear sick, but for a lot of those diseases we have good tests that we can use to identify the carriers,” Larson said. Two of the more common diseases for persistent carriers are bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVD) and trichomoniasis, Larson said. “Work with your veterinarian to figure out if you need to test your herd,” he said. Lancaster also added that knowing the health status of the source herd will help the producer and veterinarian make a herd health plan for those new animals. To get started, Larson recommended producers refer to the BVD and trichomoniasis consult apps found on the Beef Cattle Institute website.

Lawmakers Address Shortage of Veterinarians in Rural Areas by Jennifer Shike, Bovine Veterinarian Senators Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) and Mike Crapo (R-ID) introduced bipartisan legislation on June 24 to address the shortage of veterinarians in rural areas. The Veterinary Medicine Loan Repayment Program (VMLRP) Enhancement Act is designed to meet the growing demand for veterinarians nationwide by eliminating taxes on programs that encourage veterinarians to practice in underserved areas. “Veterinarians provide essential support for the agricultural economy in so many rural areas and small towns in Michigan and nationwide,” Stabenow said in a release. “But too many places lack the veterinary services they need. This bipartisan bill will provide incentives for veterinarians to practice in underserved areas, where quality veterinary care is needed to ensure healthy livestock and a safe food supply.” Finding qualified veterinarians in agricultural communities is key to maintaining animal health and welfare, Crapo said in a release. “Overly burdensome federal taxes on the Veterinary Medicine Loan Repayment Program limit the reach of the program’s benefits, and addressing those limitations would allow more veterinarians to have the opportunity to practice in small, rural communities where their services are in critical need,” Crapo said. Douglas Kratt, president of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), believes expanding the VMLRP will result in more access to veterinary care in rural areas across the country. In 2003, Congress established the VMLRP to help address the shortage in essential veterinary services in rural areas across the country. This program assists selected food animal and public health veterinarians with student loan repayment for a three-year commitment to practice in areas of the country facing a veterinarian shortage. This program helps veterinarians pay down their student loan debt so that they can afford to start a practice in locations where it’s most needed, the lawmakers explained. The VMLRP is currently subject to a significant federal withholding tax on the assistance provided to qualifying veterinarians. Because of this, resources available for the program are limited, as well as the reach of its benefits.

Gene Editing Regulations A “remodeling of the federal regulatory landscape” is needed to unlock the potential benefits of gene editing in agricultural animals is the conclusion of a blue-ribbon panel that spent the past 18 months studying the issue. Findings of the panel, which was convened by the American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC) and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) arrive as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) struggle for regulatory authority over gene editing. The Task Force Report suggests that current regulatory protocols are well behind technological advancements and must be modernized to optimize gene editing’s many benefits — including limiting of disease and increasing productivity. Regulatory reform should also help address the food security and sustainability needs of a global population expected to reach 10 billion

people by 2050. Under current protocols, FDA regulates genetic work on food animals as an “animal drug.” The USDA regulates these technologies as crops. The report contains several specific recommendations for regulatory officials and lawmakers: • Update the existing FDA regulatory framework (currently based upon processes established for transgenic technologies that are out of step with state-of-the-art gene editing technologies) and develop a coordinated, streamlined, fact-based, and costeffective assessment and approval process between USDA and FDA to ensure safe food. • Develop an evidence- and logic-based decision-making protocol for gene editing applications that is regulated separately from transgenic-based GMOs, which result from the integration of recombinant DNA. • Develop streamlined assessment and approval processes that categorize gene editing applications based on: a) the type of genomic change being created, b) the method used for creating the genomic change, c) the impact of the welfare of the animal, and d) the potential for negative impact on the environment. • Develop a regulatory channel for approval of gene-edited agricultural animals with genomic structures that could have risen in nature as safe for human consumption.

The panel also outlined a series of steps to help reap the potential benefits of gene editing technology: • Establish a national coalition of scientific experts, bioethicists, and engagement specialists from APLU and AAVMC member institutions to serve as a sounding board and think-tank related to the modernization of the existing federal regulatory framework. • Engage with federal legislators, staff, and White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and inform them on key issues related to regulatory approval and monitoring processes for gene editing applications in livestock. • Distribute the task force report to stakeholder organizations and agencies like US land-grant universities, the FDA, the USDA, the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) of the UN, the Gates Foundation, and others. • Establish a University Research Consortium of scientific experts developing gene editing applications in livestock that will facilitate collaborative research and educational initiatives. The APLU and the AAVMC took action in these areas following inquiries from members of Congress concerning current regulatory processes around gene editing. ■

9-21 Cutting Edge.qxp_Layout 1 8/19/21 4:10 PM Page 2

CUTTING EDGE Less Bacteria in Organic Meats Meat that has been certified organic by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) is less likely to be contaminated with drug-resistant bacteria than conventionally produced animal protein, a new study indicates. Organic-certified meats were 56% less likely to be tainted with multidrug-resistant organisms, according to the findings by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. The results come from nationwide testing of meats from 2012–2017 as part of the US National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS), developed in 1996 to track antibiotic resistance in bacteria from retail meats, farm animals, and those sickened with foodborne illness. The study involved 39,348 meat samples, 1,422 of which were found to contain at least one multidrug resistant organism. The rate of contamination was 4% in the conventionally produced meat samples and just under 1% in the organic meat samples. The researchers analyzed US Food and Drug Administration–NARMs data from randomly sampled chicken breast, ground beef, ground turkey, and pork for any contamination and for contamination by multidrug-resistant organisms. The analysis covered four types of bacteria: Salmonella, Campylobacter, Enterococcus, and Escherichia coli. Conventional meats processed at plants that only produce conventional animal protein were contaminated with bacteria one-third of the time, while those handled at facilities that process conventional and organic meats were contaminated one-quarter of the time. “The required disinfection of equipment between processing batches of organic and conventional meats may explain our findings of reduced bacterial contamination on products from facilities that process both types of meats,” Meghan Davis, associate professor in the Department of Environmental Health and Engineering at Johns Hopkins, said in a news release.

Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria Found in Cattle: UGA Study New research from the University of Georgia shows there may be more antimicrobial-resistant salmonella in food animals than scientists previously thought. The finding has implications for treating sick food animals and the people who get infected by eating contaminated meat, according to the research team. The study showed that 60% of cattle fecal samples contained multiple strains of salmonella that traditional testing methods missed. UGA researchers found that about one out of every ten samples tested positive for Salmonella Reading, a drug-resistant strain of the bacteria. The study used CRISPR-SeroSeq technology developed by UGA researcher Nikki Shariat. The technology enables researchers to analyze all the types of salmonella present in a given sample. Traditional methods examine only one or two colonies of bacteria, potentially missing some strains of salmonella altogether, noted the researchers. Shariat’s technology identifies

molecular signatures in salmonella’s CRISPR regions, a specialized part of the bacteria’s DNA, and helps researchers identify which strains of the bacteria are most abundant. In the current study, Shariat and colleagues found multiple salmonella strains in cattle feces before the animals were treated with the antibiotic tetracycline. After treatment, several of the dominant salmonella strains in the sample were wiped out, allowing Salmonella Reading to flourish. Traditional culturing methods missed the antibioticresistant strain in the original samples. It was only once the antibiotic eliminated the more abundant strains that conventional methods were able to detect Salmonella Reading in the samples. “This suggests that traditional tests have underestimated the amount of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the past,” said Shariat, an assistant professor of population health in UGA’s College of Veterinary Medicine. “We need to know the antimicrobial resistance profiles of the bacteria that are present in animals,” Shariat said. “That knowledge could make us change our choice of the type of antibiotic we use to treat ill animals. It can also help us select the best antibiotic for people who get sick from eating contaminated meat.”

Silver Fern to Launch Carbon-Zero Beef Line in US Silver Fern Farms said it will introduce its first range of Toitu Net Carbon Zero Certified Beef in the United States in late 2021. The New Zealand-based grass-fed red meat company announced the product launch as part of its sustainability commitments, which also include ending coal use in its processing plants by 2030 and joining the international Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) by the end of 2021. The company said it has designed its capital investments to transition from using coal to using electricity and biomass, smart lighting, and hot water system management, in addition to pursuing overall water use reduction, to support its goals. “Across our processing plant network there is still significant investment to be made to get all plants to where we want them to be. This will take time, but the required investment is a key part of our short- to medium-term financial planning,” Silver Fern chief executive Simon Limmer said in a press release. Silver Fern co-chair Rob Hewett said “Companies face competing pressures to drive decarbonization, invest to serve the consumer’s future needs, and deliver sustainable value to all stakeholders as they seek to forge their own path to address the challenges we collectively face. Our company’s strong financial performance over recent years and its robust balance sheet underpin our confidence to take these bold steps.” Silver Fern executives announced the company’s goals in front of its shareholder-suppliers at its annual farmer conference earlier this month in Wellington. ■
