Blue ribbons aren’t easy to come by – but fortunately, premium nutrition can be simple. By feeding your animal just a few ounces of ShowBloom a day, you give them essential protein, vitamins and minerals. The all-natural brewer’s yeast formula is palatable and increases digestibility and feed efficiency to create a shiny coat, clear eyes and improved muscling and hoof quality. Those are results that you – and the judges – can appreciate.

The easy supplement for show-stopping results.

by Dr. Paul Walker, Professor of Animal Science at Illinois State University

Lessons Learned from the Drought of 2012

he title of this article is not my original thought. I am bor-rowing the title from

an article authored by Ron Lemenager and Keith John-son at Purdue University, Indiana. However, this title is pertinent to many phases of

agriculture, especially the beef cattle industry and nutrition. It is dif-ficult to be proactive during a drought, particularly when one keeps hoping rain clouds are just over the horizon. But, if cattle people learned only one thing from the drought of 2012, it is to “put up more hay than you will need,” even if you think you may not need the feed – i.e. plan proactively.

The second lesson we learned is that the accumulated science that researchers/nutritionists have developed over the years gives produc-ers a large repertoire of feedstuffs and feeding/management regi-mens to utilize during a drought. For more detail and example diets utilizing alternative feedstuffs review my Professor to Producer articles published during 2012.

When times are normal, it is easy to use “John Deere Diets” (green hay and yellow corn) and too many producers forget about how to use lower cost, alternative feedstuffs. The drought of 2012 made cattle feeders resourceful and as an industry, we may be stronger because the drought made us look at lower cost, alternative feeds. The great thing about cattle is cows can eat a large variety of feedstuffs and maintain productivity. Hogs and chickens must have corn and soybean meal to maintain production.

Alternative feeding regimens include treating low-quality rough-ages such as wheat straw, corn stalks, soybean stubble, etc. with 3% anhydrous ammonia to increase TDN 10% percent and double the CP value. Or, add calcium oxide (quickline) or 5% calcium hydroxide to low-quality roughages to increase the forage digestibility. Perhaps the single greatest technology cow-calf producers learned to use during the drought of 2012 was the vertical tub grinder/mixer to produce total mixed rations (TMR).

In my opinion, after the big round baler (developed in the early 1970s) the vertical tub grinder-mixer is the most efficacious price of equipment developed for feeding cattle. Adding wet corn gluten feed or modified wet corn distillers grains or brewers grains or beet pulp or potato pulp or sweet corn husklage or sweet pea stover to low-quality forage in a vertical grinder/mixer can create unique TMR’s cattle seem

to enjoy eating. Which feedstuffs we put into a vertical tub grinder-mixer depends on location, availability of local alternative feeds and producer imagination, coupled with the science of nutrition for bal-ancing diets.

A third lesson we learned is to maintain cow body condition score (BCS). Cows below 5 BCS will have difficulty cycling and conceiving. Maintaining cow weight and BCS during late gestation will decrease days post-partum to conception. During the last 30 days of gestation, cows should be gaining at least one pound of body weight per day.

The fourth lesson for which cow-calf producers were reminded is that cows can be fed diets where the primary feedstuff is not hay or pasture. Almost any low-quality roughage combined with high-mois-ture corn gluten or distillers grains, or soybean hulls can be balanced with vitamin and mineral supplements to create appropriate TMRs.

A fifth lesson we learned is to use “cover crops” to augment fall and early winter grazing programs. Late summer seeding of rye, turnips and radish into standing corn can extend grazing seasons, and add body weight and BCS to cows.

Professor

T

to Producer

The drought of 2012 made cattle feeders resourceful

and as an industry, we may be stronger because the drought

made us look at lower cost, alternative feeds.

“


A sixth lesson many cow-calf producers remembered was how to use hot wire (electric fence) to provide temporary fence around corn stalk fields in the fall. Fencing is expensive – one mile of permanent fence (48 inch woven wire and one strand of barbed wire costs $9,000 per mile – including labor). One strand of electric fence costs $500 per mile.

Lesson No. 7. Breeding cows in spring for winter calving and in early winter for fall calving results in higher conception rates than breeding cows during the hot – dry heat of July and August for spring calving.

As I get older, I find that the advantages for fall calving seem to be-come more important.

The list of lessons learned goes on and I continue to be amazed at the resourcefulness of the American cattle producer. My current band wagon is hitched to condensed distiller’s solubles (CDS) and any for-age that can be processed in a vertical tub grinder/mixer. Until corn grain becomes economically priced, there is no reason to feed shelled corn to beef cows and there is little reason to include more than 35% shelled corn in finishing diets.

Lingering winter weather this year is exagger-

ating the impacts of limited forage supplies

for beef producers. Drought in 2011 and 2012

reduced U.S. hay production and increased

hay demand leaving the country with very

limited forage supplies at this time. On De-

cember 1, stocks of all hay were down nearly 28% from a

2001-2010 average prior to the drought. States with the

biggest decrease in hay stocks are (in descending order);

Texas, South Dakota, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Wisconsin,

Oklahoma, Arkansas, Nebraska, Michigan and Minne-

sota.

These 11 states all had reductions in hay stocks of 1

million tons or more and accounted for 72% of the to-

tal decrease in December 1 hay stocks compared to

the 2011-2010 average. Decreased hay stocks for Texas,

South Dakota, Missouri and Kansas all exceeded 2 mil-

lion tons.

Drought reduced hay production in many states in either 2011

or 2012 or both. The 2011-2012 average all hay production for the

U.S. was down 16% from the 2001-2010 average. A comparable list

of the top 11 states with decreased 2011-2012 average all hay pro-

duction is the same as above for hay stocks with two exceptions;

South Dakota and Minnesota are not in the top 11 decreased hay

production states and are replaced on the list by California and

Ohio.

South Dakota did have sharply reduced hay production in 2012,

but it followed high production in 2011 so the two-year average

was only 9% below the 2001-2010 average. Compared to the 2001-

2010 average, the 11 states with the biggest decrease in 2011-2012

production accounted for 77% of the total U.S. decrease in produc-

tion.

It’s Not Just Drought Drought generally has a bigger impact on hay yields compared

to harvested acreage. The recent USDA-NASS report on prospec-

tive plantings also included estimated hay harvested acreage for

2013. A look at how harvested hay acreage has changed in recent

years indicates changes in hay production that go beyond the

drought impacts of the past two years.

Compared to the 10-year, pre-drought average (2001-2010),

total hay harvested acreage for 2013 is projected to be down by

8.4%, a decrease of 5.2 million acres. The largest decreases by state

include South Dakota, down 785,000 acres (20%); Wisconsin, down

599,000 acres (30%); North Dakota, down 484,000 acres (17%);

Iowa, down 387,000 acres (26%); Tennessee, down 307,000 acres

(16%); and Missouri, down 301,000 acres (7%).

Rounding out a similar top 11 list includes the states of Minne-

sota, Pennsylvania, Kansas, Kentucky and Ohio, all with decreased

hay harvested acreage of 200,000 to 300,000 acres compared to

the 2001-2010 average. Together, these states account for 79% of

the decrease in total U.S. hay harvested acreage. Most of these

changes in hay harvested acreage are not the impact of drought

but rather reflect longer term shifts in crop production.

Significant amounts of hay land are being converted to annual

crop production in and around the Corn Belt from North Dakota to

Tennessee. The decrease in hay harvested acreage in the North-

ern Plains and Upper Midwest is particularly dramatic. By contrast,

some of the worst drought affected areas, including Texas and

Oklahoma, have projected 2013 hay harvested acreage that is un-

changed or up from the 10-year average.

• Up N Coming is a full brother to the popular Styles Upgrade J59; purchased by ABS Global, Wagonhammer Ranch and Baldridge Bros.

for $30,000, in Styles Angus 2009 sale, and is becoming one of the most popular calving ease bulls ABS has to offer.

• There is some amazing cow power behind Up N Coming with his dam posting a BR of 9/90, 7/113 for IMF, and 7/106 for REA.

His grand dam also had a BR 9/94.• Up N Coming has an amazing amount of thickness

and depth of rib, yet still has a great phenotypical look. Not all calving ease sires can say that!

WHAT’S IT LIKE TO BEAN AUCTIONEER

What is your background – were you raised on a farm or ranch?Raised in small towns, but not on a farm or ranch. I had relatives who raised cattle and I enjoyed spending time with them grow-ing up. Being the son of a football coach, I concentrated on sports and learned the value of self discipline, having a strong work ethic and the spirit of competition on the athletic fields.

Would you describe for us what you really do (sometimes job titles aren’t reflective of the actual work):Today, I am an auctioneer who specializes

in marketing registered cattle and horses. My exposure as an auctioneer in the ag sector has further led to me being called on to sell other types of assets such as real estate, western art, automobiles as well as charity/fundraising auctions.

How did you get into this line of work?I worked for a registered Brangus operation right out of college. That ranch had it’s own production sale every year. I worked closely with the sale manager and auctioneer each year and developed an interest in livestock marketing through watching their level of professionalism. I eventually went to work for that sale manager and traveled all across the country setting up and managing cattle auctions. The natural progression from there was to learn the craft of auctioneering. Once I became profi-cient as an auctioneer, I transitioned out of the sale management business and concentrated solely on becoming the best auctioneer I could be.

What do you like about your job?I love meeting, working with and hanging out with great people. Live-stock producers are some the best people around. As a group, they value hard work, innovation, risk taking, entreprenuership and producing a product that exceeds their customer’s desires. I’m blessed to be able to work with people like that on a daily basis. I also enjoy traveling across the country, visiting with customers, looking at good cattle, and seeing the results of superior genetics that I have had the opportunity to sell through the auction method of marketing.

What are the toughest challenges for what you do?Currently, the widespread drought has brought about our biggest chal-lenges. With the decrease in cattle numbers, we have fewer people needing bulls. This has created a challenge for the registered producer trying to sell the same number of bulls to a smaller population of cow/calf producers.

Personally, the biggest challenge for what I do is finding the right balance between work and travel and being a good husband, father, and friend.

Do you need a college degree in your profession?Not necessarily, but it helps. Some of the best contacts I have in my business, I made in college.

Where should somebody go to get started in your line of work?Most of the purebred auctioneers I know started out working for a livestock publication, breed association, sale manager or purebred cattle operation. They developed their knowledge and built their contact base, and from there, branched out into the auctioneering profession.

What would most surprise a high school or college student about your career?That the success of an auction depends as much or more on the work and preparation done weeks and months prior to the auction as it does on the actual performance of the auctioneer behind the microphone on sale day.

Anything you wish someone would have told you when you were in school?To get the results very few people have, you have to be strong enough to do what very few people are willing to do.

Never stop learning. Very little of what will make you successful tomor-row will be found in a college text book today. Read and study successful people who have gone before you. Find and work with a mentor. The day I graduated from college, I thought I knew it all. I quickly found out that I really knew nothing at all.

Give more than you take and you will find success as the marketplace will reward your generosity.

ADAY IN THE LIFE OF AN AUCTIONEER

• Driving or flying to the auction location.• Meeting with the owner/sellers going over any pertinent information that needs to be related to potential buyers.• Looking through the cattle, making notes and observations that will be useful to the buying crowd• Meeting and talking with as many buyers and attendees as possible• Conducting the auction• Post sale meeting with the owners/sellers to discuss any fol-low up details and any improvements that need to be made for the next sale• Drive or fly home or to the next auction.

This column is part of a series exploring careers that our young readers might be interested in pursuing, through the eyes and experiences of successful people in a variety of professions.

n July 5, we will pass a milestone in the biotechnol-ogy world that is worth noting. On July 5, it will be 17 years since the birth of the first cloned animal from an adult cell using somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), the technique that is commonly used to

produce cloned animals today. Dolly the sheep, was cloned by Ian Wilmut, Keith Campbell and their colleagues at the Roslin Insti-tute and the biotechnology company PPL Therapeutics near Ed-inburgh in Scotland in 1996. It was, and still is, heralded as one of the breakthrough events in the world of science in our generation. So how far has the technology come in the last 17 years? To-day, we have cloned thousands of animals using the technology that made Dolly. Cattle, horses, pigs, goats, deer and sheep all benefit from the value of cloning technology as well as dogs, cats, and endangered species. But even more importantly, the animals produced using cloning technology, have contributed signifi-cantly to the genetic pool and it is estimated that more than one million descendants of cloned animals have been produced, and propagated, since the birth of Dolly.

Today, it is commonplace to see an animal produced using cloning technology successfully exhibit, or sell, or be the sire or dam of a winning animal, at the most prestigious livestock events in the world. Many animals at the National Western Stock Show in Denver, CO or the World Dairy Expo in Madison, WI will have a cloned animal in their pedigree. And today, in 2013, we have learned that cloned females reproduce exactly “the same as” their

non-cloned peers in reproductive technology programs at Trans Ova Genetics that include over 1500 recorded events in ET and IVF. Today, cloning technology is also used in conjunction with transgenic or genetically modified animal production or more re-cently, gene editing. The animals produced using a combination of these technologies are for biopharmaceutical purposes. They will help provide many of the answers for researchers who are investigating serious diseases that have no cure today. Let’s focus in on the questions most cattlemen have about the technology in 2013, and the answers to those questions. How do livestock breeders use the technology in 2013 to create value from the very best animals in their herd?

Through the cloning process, progressive producers can du-plicate the animals that contribute the most value in their herds and forward their goals to produce more efficient, healthier ani-mals, and better quality food products. The influence of these animals, through breeding, can help create a more consistent supply of tender, flavorful beef, for example. Another example of a cloning application is in the case of an animal lost early in its breeding career due to death or injury; perhaps even before the

value of its genetics were fully discovered. Cloning technology can also help extend an elite animal’s genetic influence to contribute to the improvement of food animal production, by increasing embryo or semen production through cloned animals. And cloning provides a unique opportunity for clients with superior castrated males (steers, geldings, barrows, and wethers) to produce an intact cloned male, for breeding purposes. How can I preserve the genetics today, on my most elite animal?

An elite animal, the genetic donor, provides a tissue sample that will be cultured into a cell line or Genetic Preservation (GP). These cells will be cryopreserved or frozen until they are used in the clon-ing process at a later date. The tissue sample may come from the ear or tail of the genetic donor animal. An economical alternative, an Express Tissue Bank (ETB), is provided for those producers who wish to preserve a large amount of samples or simply are not certain they will move forward with the cloning process. Both GP and ETB samples will remain viable indefinitely under appropriate storage conditions. In 2013, is it possible to collect a tissue sample after the death event to ultimately produce an animal using cloning technology?

Yes, the tissue to be preserved from the dead animal (for example – ear tissue), needs to be removed and placed in the refrigerator as soon as possible after an unexpected death event. A ViaGen rep-resentative can instruct you on the proper handling, packaging and shipment to our laboratory, where we can grow a Genetic Preserva-tion or cell line from tissue up to several days after a death event. Many cloned animals have been produced from samples that were taken after a death event. In fact, a Genetic Preservation or cell line is one of the best insurance policies you can have against the loss of an elite genotype through death.

How does the cloning process work today? Has it changed much since 1996?

Once cells are produced from the tissue sample provided by a genetic donor, they are combined with an enucleated oocyte (un-fertile egg with the nucleus removed) and fused together using a process called electrofusion. The resulting embryos are cultured for approximately one week (very similar to IVF) until they are trans-ferred into recipient mothers.

The word “cloning” is simply a term to describe Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT). The same SCNT process that was used to clone Dolly the sheep, is used today to produce cloned animals throughout the world. ViaGen – a division of Trans Ova Genetics, holds the Roslin family of patents surrounding SCNT of non-primate mammalian species. How long have ViaGen and Trans Ova Genetics been cloning livestock?

For more than 30 years, Trans Ova Genetics has been working closely with cattle breeders on advanced reproductive technolo-gies and produced their first cloned animals in 1998. They joined forces with ViaGen, a cloning company from Austin, Texas to form Bovance in 2007. Today, ViaGen is a wholly owned division of Trans Ova Genetics and provides cloning services for cattle, horses, pigs, goats, sheep and deer. In addition they also provide Genetic Preser-vation services to all non-primate mammals including pets and exotic species. The combined years of experience from these companies are unparalleled. It involves more than 15 years of experience with cloning technologies and encompasses more than one thousand cloned animals.

In the coming months, we will be introducing you to all kinds of organizations that support hunting, conservation and the enjoyment of the great outdoors. Don’t let the name of this first

group fool you – it’s not just for Texans. In fact, membership of the Dallas Safari Club spans the globe. Formed in 1972, this organiza-tion provides education, sporting events and grant programs that support conservation of wildlife and wilderness lands, educating our youth and the general public, as well as promoting and protecting the rights and interests of hunters worldwide.

In 2012, the group granted more than $1 million for con-servation, education and hunter advocacy efforts worldwide. Some of those projects included new research on lions and lion hunting in Africa, conservation efforts for Siberian snow tigers, and study of wolf interactions with elk in New Mexico. There is continuing work for polar bears, white-tailed deer and bobwhite quail. Education and hunter advocacy efforts in Zambia, British Columbia, South Africa, Wyoming, Tanzania, Alaska, Montana and Washington D.C. also received funding.

The Dallas Safari Club also hosts one the largest outdoor sporting conventions each January, sponsors an outdoor education course in public schools and holds tournaments and competitions. For more information, visit www.biggame.org.

In 2012, the group granted more than $1 million for conservation, education and hunter advocacy

efforts worldwide. “

DSC Annual Convention and Expo


DSC Annual Convention and Expo

Everyone is feeling the pinch of ammunition shortages these days, from your regular hunting buddy to police departments around the country and even the Border Patrol.

CNN Money reported in mid-March that retailers, including Wal-Mart, have been rationing ammunition – Wal-Mart’s limit is 3 boxes per customer per day. Others like the behemoth Cabela’s have seen their new supplies wiped out in a couple of hours. Smaller, independent stores say they are having difficulty buying inventory.

And with all this demand comes an increase in price – double in some cases. In the CNN Money story, an industry research analyst estimates ammunition manufacturers are working three shifts, seven days a week and scrambling to build new plants in order to meet the demands of Americans spooked by the Obama administration’s pursuit of stricter gun control laws.

It’s a serious problem for law enforcement. Local law enforcement agencies from Texas, Nevada, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Arizona and Georgia have reported they do not have enough ammunition to supply their officers with all that they need. Even the Border Patrol is not immune to the shortage. Townhall, a conservative magazine, printed an email it obtained that was sent to agents stationed in the El Centro border sector from a supervisor. The agents are told they will not receive any proficiency am-munition for the next quarter to practice with. This in spite of huge orders from the Department of Homeland Security for billions of rounds of hollow point ammunition. Even the Social Security Administration is buying bullets.

As gun control debates rage on in Washington and other local and state governments, the shortage is likely to continue for some time. Meanwhile, more and more laws restricting what you can buy are put on the books almost every day.


If you are a hunter, it’s no surprise to you that a tremendous amount of money is spent pursuing this hobby, but you might not fully appreciate how wide ranging the economic stimulus is. A report by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) and the Association of Fish and

Wildlife Agencies (AFWA) documents how and where billions of hunters’ dollars flow into local, state and national businesses and governments.

For instance, according to the report, Hunting in America, more than 680,000 jobs were supported by sportsmen (and women) in 2011. As well, hunters spent $38.3 billion in 2011 and generated $11.8 billion in taxes. Here’s something you don’t hear in the current gun-control debate: hunters also contribute more than $371 million annually to conservation efforts through a special excise tax on firearms and ammunition. Add in another $796 million on license and permit sales, plus $440 million in direct donations to conser-vation groups, according to the report. Altogether, hunters contribute $1.6 billion annually to conservation.

The report also outlines the Top 10 states by resident hunters and non-resident hunters. Far outpacing all other states in resident hunters is Texas, with 1,079, 869 hunters who spent more than $1.9 billion in retail sales in 2011. However, residents of Michigan outspent the Texans at just over $2.3 billion spent by 501,421 resident hunters.

The leader in non-resident hunters for 2011 was South Dakota, which brought in 143,531 hunters from out-of-state who spent a little more than $405 million. Wisconsin was second with 131,137 hunters brining in about $314 million to the state. Colorado ranked third with 115,491 hunters spending almost $196 million.

Hunting in America also tracked the number of days spent hunting in 2011. Overall, Americans spent more than 282 million days hunting that year. On a state level, Texans spent the most days hunting – 20,372,473 – followed closely by New York and Pennsylvania – each around 18,000,000 days.

In terms of what hunters bought, would you be surprised to know that the biggest category was pickup, camper, van, travel tent trailer and RV? Hunters spent just over $6 billion on those vehicles in 2011. Following right behind was land owned primarily for hunting, expenses and payments, also just a tick over $6 billion. Land leases, rifles, food and drink, transportation by private vehicle, off-road vehicles and ammunition each topped over $1 billion in 2011 expenditures.

Between deer hunting, migratory bird hunting and upland game-birds (quail, grouse and pheasants), which category did hunters spend more

on? The answer is no surprise. Deer hunters spent more than $18 billion on that species in 2011, compared to $3.4 billion on migratory birds and $2.9 billion on upland gamebirds.

If you’d like to know more about the numbers for your state and other categories, download the Hunting in America full report at www.nssf.org/research.

Quick Facts from Hunting in America

• Sportsmen contribute nearly $8 million a day that goes to support wildlife agencies and conservation.

• As of 2012, hunters and target shooters paid more than $7.2 billion in excise taxes through the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act, since it’s passage in 1937.

• The first state hunting licenses ever issued were in Michigan and North Dakota in 1895.

• U.S. hunters outnumber the populations of 46 states. Only Florida, New York, Texas and Cali-fornia have more residents that the combined popultion of U.S. hunters.

• Hunters spent a total of $38.3 billion last year that had a total economic multiplier effect of $86.9 billion across the U.S. economy.

• Hunting overall brought in more revenue ($38.3 billion) than Google ($37.9 billion) or Goldman Sachs Group ($36.8 billion.)

• If hunting were a company, the amount spent by sportsmen to support their hunting activities would place it No. 73 on the Fortune 500 list.

Trans Ova GeneTics schOlarship Winners Trans Ova Genetics announces a total of nine scholarships - six of which have been created through Trans Ova Genetics’ own Youth Scholarship Pro-gram. The program awards six $1,500 scholarships to the winners. Three of these scholarships are awarded to beef candidates, and three are presented to those involved in the dairy industry.

CONGRATULATIONS TO: BEEF WINNERSMs. Bailey Buck, Madill, Okla. Ms. Bailey Core, Pleasantville, IowaMs. Elizabeth Nixon, Rapidan, Va.

The Trans Ova Genetics Youth Scholarship Program is designed to show commitment to livestock youth and help them achieve their goals. Trans Ova Genetics encourages youth involved in the livestock industry to make a com-mitment to higher education and agriculture. Scholarship winners are chosen by a panel of judges that look at written essays, resumes and letters of recom-mendation. While students are not required to be studying in an agriculture field, judges look for active involvement in the livestock industry.

One judge described this year’s applicants as very qualified: “What a great group of worthy candidates - very tough to sort through, and I’m sure many from this group will be making their mark in the livestock industry in the years to come.”

Scholarship applicants were asked to write an essay that answered the question: “Discuss the role of genetic and reproductive technologies in feed-ing the future world and sustaining the environment.” Dr. David Faber, presi-dent of Trans Ova Genetics, considers the Youth Scholarship Program to be a direct investment in the individual and in the future of agriculture:

“By 2045, the Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that we will need to double animal protein production. Additionally, we need to accom-plish this in an environmentally sustainable manner. More than 70% of this in-crease needs to come from technology. We do not have the luxury to double animal numbers or acres utilized.

needs to be 30 days to make sure whatever disease they might have, they’re going to get over it before you introduce them to the resident herd. Thirty days is a nice round number, some people use 21 days, and in most cases that’s probably okay.

“For diseases like persistent BVD, Johne’s, salmonella and lepto, where we may not see clinical signs, there’s no length of quarantine that would prevent the rest of the herd from being exposed. For cows, once they become shedders with lepto hardjo (the most common one that affects cattle), they may shed for up to a years. And during that time, they typically show no signs unless they abort.”

That brings us to the question of where to locate your quarantine areas if you need them.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

Drainage is a big concern to Sanderson. “With lepto, for example, it’s not just a matter of nose-to-nose or aerosol contact, but also drain-age. It lives in stagnant water. If your quarantine pen drains into your calving pen, that’s a bad thing. If we can avoid standing water, lepto isn’t going to survive very long. Good drainage is a wonderful thing. You need to think for each particular disease, what are the issues, where do we need to stop transmission, how is it transmitted?” Along with paying attention to drainage, fenceline contact is another factor to consider when assigning pens or pastures. It doesn’t do much good to quarantine if the isolated animals can rub noses with vulnerable neighbors.

Of course you can do all the right things to prevent diseases from being spread but there are things you can’t exert much control over, like the neighbor’s dog coming over and leaving behind some neospora or the other neighbor’s bull jumping the fence and sharing something nasty.

Then there is the environment that cow-calf operations exist in where you have wide open spaces for the most part, and your cattle aren’t the only inhabitants. Wildlife on your place can also be a disease reservoir for things like lepto, neospora, salmonella, coccidiosis, etc.

Even flies and other biting insects can spread disease. So fly con-trol and other wildlife population management tools can compliment your other biosecurity measures. Also, some of these diseases (E. coli, salmonella, brucellosis, etc.) can also affect your employees and fam-ily members if you’re not careful. Even using banked colostrum, espe-cially from dairies, carries a risk of disease with it.

KEEpINg THE AREA CLEAN

If you’re using quarantine areas, another factor to consider is what needs to be done if any of the isolated animals do break with a disease. Once the animal is removed from the area, are there con-tamination issues to deal with before a new set of cattle occupies the pen or pasture?

Some pathogens can live in the ground or water or even on squeeze chutes and other equipment for a period of time, some lon-ger than others. So, these experts say you need to have a rotation schedule for your quarantine areas to give those pathogens time to die out. “We might disinfect some equipment, chutes, dehorners nose tongs, that type of thing,” says Faries. “But if the environment is contaminated, there’s not much you can do with it. We don’t have anything chemical-wise that we could spread as a disinfectant. The normal recommendation is to rest that area for 30 days, though any day rested is a benefit compared to an animal handling facility that is used every day.

“Hopefully, we would have some dry weather and lots of sun,” he adds. “If that area is grassy, they can mow it and have more exposure to sunlight. If we had sick cattle in there, the topsoil can be removed with a blade and then replace the topsoil. Especially with a hospital holding area, the area should be built so that you can get in there with a tractor and blade between cattle.”

In terms of diseases that can cause an environmental contamination problem, this list would include Johne’s,

leptospirosis and the gastrointestinal bugs like salmonella, E. coli and coccidiosis, plus the clostridium group.

“Type B and C clostridium hit in calves under 30 days of age; type D can be any age,” explains Faries. “Here is a group with clostridium in your pen and those formed spores go in the ground. Now you bring in other cattle and they swallow these blackleg-type spores and instead of causing blackleg they cause blackgut.

“If one of them died of blackleg in the pen, you could get further contamination from dragging him around and spreading discharge or the buzzards opening him up or just decomposing. Any of those clos-tridium would contaminate the soil,” he says.

“But you’ve got other diarrhea caused by viruses, like rotavirus or coronavirus, and those don’t live very long in the environment. How-ever if the holding area becomes contaminated, from germs in the urine or feces, and other cattle follow right after the sick ones, the viruses may live long enough that the next group is exposed.”

Furthermore, in cool, moist conditions, the viruses may live throughout a calving season. If you calve year-round, adds Sanderson, they may even persist throughout the year as a source of infection for new calves.

“It’s a good matter of practice to rotate and rest your quaran-tine area whether animals got sick in it or not,” says Faries. “Also, it’s a mistake to go into your quarantine area and then your other pens or traps without disinfecting your clothing and boots. You could carry something out of there. You might even want to disinfect your trailer between loads, too.”

ANALyzINg THE COSTS Of course, just to make things even more complicated, what makes sense from strictly a health standpoint may not necessarily add up on the financial side. Dr. John Lawrence, associate professor in ag-ricultural economics at Iowa State University, discusses the concept of marginal analysis for disease prevention:

“What is the value of an additional intervention versus its cost? The optimal is when the last dollar of prevention just pays for itself…. The trouble is where do you draw the line? If I get a benefit to cost ratio of 20, where every dollar I spend on cost I get $20 back, sure I’m going to do it. What about 10 or 5 or 1?”

“If you say you’re only going to buy bulls from a herd that has been Johne’s tested and guaranteed free, you may have only a hand-ful of herds to pick from. What are you giving up in genetic progress because of that tradeoff?” Lawrence asks.

“We really deal in an issue of tradeoffs. It’s not an all or nothing type game. Cases like FMD, maybe zero tolerance at any cost is the approach we want to take. But for a lot of other diseases, zero toler-ance may be very costly to achieve,” he points out.

So, balancing the cost of preventing a disease against the cost of treating the disease if you get it is one way to think about it. Such as, is the cost of quarantining those new cows more or less than the cost of treating some of the herd if they get exposed to a respiratory disease? Or BVD? Obviously, those two situations would have very different answers.

“If (preventing the disease) is highly costly and the treatment is extremely effective, we’re going to treat,” says Lawrence. “But if it’s highly costly and the treatment is not very effective, that’s one you might want to think about preventing in the first place. Or if the cost (of the disease) is low enough, you simply live with it.

“What are the variables? It’s the exercise of how you think through it,” he adds.

Sanderson says we don’t always know what the most cost-effective program is, but emphasizes you can’t spend more on the biosecurity program, including quarantine areas, than you save by having it in the first place.

“We need to decide what the real risks are,” he says. “We need better data in some areas to know what the real risks are, so that we can target our biosecurity efforts and dollars in the right area.”

In addition to the cost of disease, there is also the cost of biosecurity to consider, which may include not only investments in equipment or space but also the cost of management – setting up protocol and following it – and the cost of limiting your choices from a supplier standpoint.

We don’t have anything chemical-wise that we could spread as a disinfectant. The normal recommendation is to rest that area for 30 days, though any day rested is a benefit compared to an animal handling facility that is used every day.

“Hopefully, we would have some dry weather and lots of sun,” he adds. “If that area is grassy, they can mow it and have more exposure to sunlight. If we had sick cattle in there, the topsoil can be removed with a blade and then replace the topsoil. Especially with a hospital holding area, the area should be built so that you can get in there with a tractor and blade between cattle.”

In terms of diseases that can cause an environmental contamination problem, this list would include Johne’s,

leptospirosis and the gastrointestinal bugs like salmonella, E. coli and coccidiosis, plus the clostridium group.

“Type B and C clostridium hit in calves under 30 days of age; type D can be any age,” explains Faries. “Here is a group with clostridium in your pen and those formed spores go in the ground. Now you bring in other cattle and they swallow these blackleg-type spores and instead of causing blackleg they cause blackgut.

“If one of them died of blackleg in the pen, you could get further contamination from dragging him around and spreading discharge or the buzzards opening him up or just decomposing. Any of those clos-tridium would contaminate the soil,” he says.

“But you’ve got other diarrhea caused by viruses, like rotavirus or coronavirus, and those don’t live very long in the environment. How-ever if the holding area becomes contaminated, from germs in the urine or feces, and other cattle follow right after the sick ones, the viruses may live long enough that the next group is exposed.”

Furthermore, in cool, moist conditions, the viruses may live throughout a calving season. If you calve year-round, adds Sanderson, they may even persist throughout the year as a source of infection for new calves.

“It’s a good matter of practice to rotate and rest your quaran-tine area whether animals got sick in it or not,” says Faries. “Also, it’s a mistake to go into your quarantine area and then your other pens or traps without disinfecting your clothing and boots. You could carry something out of there. You might even want to disinfect your trailer between loads, too.”

ANALyzINg THE COSTS Of course, just to make things even more complicated, what makes sense from strictly a health standpoint may not necessarily add up on the financial side. Dr. John Lawrence, associate professor in ag-ricultural economics at Iowa State University, discusses the concept of marginal analysis for disease prevention:

“What is the value of an additional intervention versus its cost? The optimal is when the last dollar of prevention just pays for itself…. The trouble is where do you draw the line? If I get a benefit to cost ratio of 20, where every dollar I spend on cost I get $20 back, sure I’m going to do it. What about 10 or 5 or 1?”

“If you say you’re only going to buy bulls from a herd that has been Johne’s tested and guaranteed free, you may have only a hand-ful of herds to pick from. What are you giving up in genetic progress because of that tradeoff?” Lawrence asks.

“We really deal in an issue of tradeoffs. It’s not an all or nothing type game. Cases like FMD, maybe zero tolerance at any cost is the approach we want to take. But for a lot of other diseases, zero toler-ance may be very costly to achieve,” he points out.

So, balancing the cost of preventing a disease against the cost of treating the disease if you get it is one way to think about it. Such as, is the cost of quarantining those new cows more or less than the cost of treating some of the herd if they get exposed to a respiratory disease? Or BVD? Obviously, those two situations would have very different answers.

“If (preventing the disease) is highly costly and the treatment is extremely effective, we’re going to treat,” says Lawrence. “But if it’s highly costly and the treatment is not very effective, that’s one you might want to think about preventing in the first place. Or if the cost (of the disease) is low enough, you simply live with it.

“What are the variables? It’s the exercise of how you think through it,” he adds.

Sanderson says we don’t always know what the most cost-effective program is, but emphasizes you can’t spend more on the biosecurity program, including quarantine areas, than you save by having it in the first place.

“We need to decide what the real risks are,” he says. “We need better data in some areas to know what the real risks are, so that we can target our biosecurity efforts and dollars in the right area.”

In addition to the cost of disease, there is also the cost of biosecurity to consider, which may include not only investments in equipment or space but also the cost of management – setting up protocol and following it – and the cost of limiting your choices from a supplier standpoint.

• Solo is sired by Wide Open. Wide Open is making powerful half bloods and he is really getting it done. This great May calf has the kind of rib shape, hip, bone and hair we want to make the next generation. He is really unique

- POWER, SOUNDNESS, BALANCE, QUALITY and PEDIGREE out of a GREAT COW!

• The dam of Solo is perhaps the most consistent producer of herdbull caliber cattle at Duello’s. She is a beautiful baldy Meyer 734 Granddaughter who also is the mother of the featured Irish Whiskey son of the 2011 Western

Elite, that we lost prior to the sale in an untimely death.Owned with Anderson Cattle Co.

• We are excited about the prospects of this young sire. His phenotype and pedigree are impeccable.

He will be used heavily to generate the next generation of foundation females. Bulls like this

one, with this much power and maternal ability, are hard to fi nd.

• The dam of Fever Pitch is a Meyer 734 daughter out of Collins Travelina 6001. Travelina 6001, a

daughter of Grizz, was an Angus heifer that many remember well. She commanded a $32,000 hammer price, for one half interest, in an Exposure sale. She

is owned in partnership with Jason Scheetz.
