Breeding first class Angus bulls on commercial herd principles, maximising growth and yield while maintaining

maternal qualities – Since 1996.

Davidson and Cameron LOGO

WELCOME

Welcome to Triple A Angus past and potential clients.

2010 marks a significant year in Triple A Angus history as we are now at a stage where we have a quality

product in quantity to offer to our valued clients.

Triple A Angus was first established nearly eight years ago, by sisters Eliza, Anna and Emma Redden .Our

first cow Dulverton Xtol R87, was given to us by our aunt and uncle Greg and Sally Chappell of Dulverton

Angus Stud. Since this day through natural increase we have watched the ladies grow in numbers.

It is exciting for us to announce we are joining eighty females this year, seventy of which to AI and are

looking forward to increasing our number of bulls for sale as well as adding depth and excellence of genetics

to our existing female herd in years to come.

At weaning we undergo a extensive culling program for both bulls and heifers insuring the fundamental

traits valued in our herd, such as fertility, structure, growth and a quiet temperament are improved and

maintained.

We further ensure we are offering a superior product to our clients, by assessing the animals overall package

when bulls are at 400 days and heifer‘s after their first calf. By evaluating at these times we are able to

ensure we meet our rigid expectations we set as quality breeders.

Triple A believe by putting our commercial client at the centre of our breeding programme we are breeding

quality angus bulls on commercial herd principals. After all the fundamental principal of breeding bulls is

increasing the profitability of our client’s commercial herds. Triple A prides itself on delivering consistently

bred Angus bulls to the commercial buyer. This promotes easy calving, rapid growth-rate and big yielding

steers and heifers. Productively and efficiently increasing our clients bottom line.

Triple A Angus is a family run operation. Mark and Janet (Dad & Mum) are responsible for the nutrition and

health of all animals at Koorooya. They have run a commercial cattle operation for the last thirty years and

are very strict on the culling procedures implemented with-in the Triple A Angus breeding program.

Eliza after completing a Bachelor of Rural Science with honours at UNE is responsible for the genetic

makeup of the herd and the planning of the AI program. Anna after completing a Bachelor of Social Science

degree at UNE, is now working for Tamworth‘s 2TM/ 92.9 radio station Regional Newsroom. Anna is

responsible for the marketing and publicity of our valued product. Emma is in her first year of Agribusiness

at UNE, after completing her gap year as a jillaroo for NAPCO at Boulia Queensland in 2009, Em assists on

weekends and uni holidays with weaning, AI, and the breaking in of Triple A‘s finest for local shows.

Triple A Angus would like to thank our valued clients for

purchasing Triple A Angus bulls and welcome future clients

to ―Koorooya‖ in 2010.

Yours Sincerely,

The Redden Family

YEARLING BULLS FOR SALE

At Triple A Angus we are excited to offer our yearling bulls for sale. We believe as stud breeders that the

future of bull breeding rests on the young bull‘s shoulders.

By offering yearling bulls to our clients we are offering a cheaper genetically superior product. From your

perspective (the commercial beef cattle producer) if you are able to purchase a yearling bull for the half the

price of his two year old brother with superior genetics you are increasing your bottom line.

Therefore yearling bulls are a fundamental of our breeding strategy:

Breeding first class Angus bulls on commercial herd principles, maximising growth and yield while maintaining

maternal qualities – Since 1996.

The facts about using yearling bulls in your breeding program: Yearling bulls are cheaper – lower bull cost per calf – more $$$ in your bottom line.

Yearling bulls are one generation in front of their 2 year old brothers – meaning that you are

buying the superior genetics earlier improving your herd faster. Yearling bulls are sexually mature – when they are in good condition and have a scrotal

circumference of at least 28cm. The following yearling bulls listed for sale meet this criterion.

Will not produce smaller calves then 2 year old bulls - a calf‘s birth weight is directly related to

its parent‘s joint genetic potential for this trait and the nutrition of the foetus up until calving.

Yearling bulls do need to be looked after nutritionally – after the mating season yearling bulls do

need to be given the adequate nutrition to continue to grow to meet their full genetic potential.

Using Yearling Bulls in a Breeding Programme

"It's time to let the young fellas have a go, and exploit the advantages they bring to a progressive

breeding programme"

Russell Priest, MeatNZ Beef Genetics Co-ordinator

The practice of using yearling bulls in a mating programme is gaining in popularity, and so it should be, as

there are some real advantages in doing this.

Firstly, they generally don't cost as much as two year olds and if you treat them correctly, they will sire at

least 20% more calves during their lifetime. Both these factors result in lower bull costs per calf and, all

things being equal, improved profitability.

If your bull breeder is making significant genetic progress, that is, the current generation is genetically

superior to the previous one (ask him to show you his genetic trends graph), then buying a yearling gives

you access to the superior genetics a year earlier than previously. This will accelerate genetic progress

within your herd, assuming of course that you have developed defined goals and breeding objectives.

Because yearling bulls are younger and generally carry less condition, they are fitter and more agile than

older animals and tend to suffer fewer injuries associated with the mating process. They are also likely to

carry the affects of fewer past injuries (eg.arthritis) into the mating period. This is a significant and often not

recognized problem with older bulls. Being lighter and generally more agile, they are also ideal for mating

with yearling heifers, where these attributes are more critical in the mating process.

The disadvantages of using yearlings can largely be overcome by good management. At the yearling age

they are still growing rapidly, are leaner and more sensitive to levels of feeding and parasitic challenge than

they are later in life. Therefore they need to have access to plenty of high quality feed before, during and

after the mating period. It is also advisable to restrict the mating load to 25-30 females per bull for several

reasons. The amount of semen produced will generally be less than an older bull, they don't have the fat

reserves to act as an energy buffer, and they are sexually inexperienced. That is, they generally take a while

to 'learn the ropes' and will often run themselves ragged chasing females which are not in season, through

lack of experience. It is wise therefore, to introduce them to their mating mobs a little earlier than you would

an older bull, to ensure there is no delay to the start of calving. Yearlings should not be joined in multiple

mating groups with older bulls because of the dominance factor and the possibility of injury. If joined in a

single sire mating situation they should be rotated between mobs every 21 days to cover possible mating

failures.

Remember it is vitally important to get all bulls checked by a competent vet well before the breeding

season begins - it is a cheap insurance policy.

It is a mistaken belief that yearling bulls leave smaller calves at birth than do their older counterparts. There

is absolutely no relationship between the age of a bull and the birthweight of his calves. If birthweight is a

concern, buy a bull with a low EBV(estimated breeding value)for this trait, but remember because

birthweight and growthrate are positively related,

'low birthweight generally means poor growthrate'

If you want an easy calving bull, it is better to select sires on their calving ease(direct) EBV, if this is

available.

Will yearling bulls be sexually mature?

Animals become sexually mature when they reach puberty. The onset of puberty is directly influenced by

age and body condition. That is, well fed animals are likely to reach puberty at an earlier age than poorly

fed ones. In some cases this may be as early as 8 months of age. Poorly fed young bulls are risky to use as

yearlings because they may not have reached sexual maturity. Around puberty the testicles increase in

circumference very rapidly. In British breeds this is likely to occur between 8-13 months of age, however in

some European breeds and bos indicus cattle, sexual maturity will often be reached at a older age. As a

result, they may not be suitable to be used as yearlings.

Mating Recommendations

Yearling bulls should be :

� Checked by a competent vet before joining

� In good condition and have a scrotal circumference of at least 28cm.before mating

� Kept in separate mating mobs to older bulls

� Joined with no more than 25-30 females each

� Joined for 2 cycles only, then spelled for at least 3 months

� Drenched and placed on high quality feed after the mating period

EXPLANATORY NOTES FOR CATALOGUES

Only ANGUS GROUP BREEDPLAN EBVs can be

validly compared between herds.

Estimated Breeding Values (EBYs

An animal‘s breeding value is its genetic merit, half of which will be passed on to its progeny. While we will

never know the exact breeding value, for performance traits it is possible to make good estimates. These are

called Estimated Breeding Values (EBVs). The EBV is therefore the best estimate of an animal‘s genetic

merit for that trait. EBVs are expressed as the difference between an individual animal‘s genetics and the

genetic base to which the animal is compared.

Accuracy

An accuracy value is presented with every EBV and gives an indication of the amount of information that

has been used in the calculation of that EBV. The higher the accuracy, the lower the likelihood of change in

the animal‘s EBV as more information is analysed for that animal or its relatives. The following guide is

given for interpreting accuracy:

Accuracy Range Interpretation

Less than 50% Low accuracy and should be considered a preliminary estimate. The EBV could

change substantially as more perfonnance information becomes available.

50 — 74% Medium accuracy, usually based on the animal‘s own records and pedigree.

75 — 90% Medium-high accuracy and usually includes some progeny information. Becoming a

more reliable indicator of the animal‘s value as a parent.

90% and above High accuracy. It is unlikely that the EBV will change much with the addition of more

progeny data.

As a rule, animals should be compared on EBVs regardless of accuracy. However, where two animals have

similar EBVs the one with higher accuracy could be the safer choice, assuming other factors are equal.

Traits

Calving Ease

EBVs are based on calving ease (CE) scores, birth weights and gestation length information. More positive

EBVs are favourable and indicate easier calving.

DIR: Direct calving ease indicates how this animal influences the birth of its progeny.

DTRS: Daughter‘s calving ease indicates how well the animal produces daughters that have easier

calving.

Birth

Gestation Length EBV (days) is based on Al records. Lower (negative) EBVs indicate easier

calving and increased growth after birth.

Birth Weight EBV (kg) is based on the measured birth weight of animals, adjusted for dam age. The

lower the value the lighter the calf at birth and the lower the likelihood of a difficult birth. This is

particularly important when selecting sires for use over heifers.

Growth

200-Day Milk EBV (kg) is an estimate of an animal‘s milking ability. For sires, this EBV is

indicative of their daughter‘s milking ability as it affects the 200-day weights of their calves.

200-Day Growth EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of animals taken between 80 and 300 days

of age. Values are adjusted to 200 days and for age of dam. This EBV is the best single estimate of

an animal‘s genetic merit for growth to early ages.

400-Day Weight EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 301 and 500

days of age, adjusted to 400 days and for age of dam. This EBV is the best single estimate of an

animal‘s genetic merit for yearling weight.

600-Day Weight EBV (kg) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 501 and 900

days of age, adjusted to 600 days and for age of dam. This EBV is the best single estimate of an

animal‘s genetic merit for growth beyond yearling age.

Mature Cow Weight EBV (kg) is an estimate of the genetic difference in cow weight at 5 years of

age. Moderate EBVs are generally more favourable.

Fertility

Scrotal Size EBV (cm) is an indicator of male fertility in regards to semen quality and quantity.

Higher (positive) EBVs indicate higher fertility. Scrotal size is also positively associated with female

fertility.

Days to Calving EBV (days) is an indicator of genetic differences in female fertility, expressed as

the number of days from the start of the joining period until subsequent calving. Lower (negative)

EBVs indicate more favourable female fertility.

Carcase

Carcase Weight EBV (kg) estimates the genetic difference in carcase weight at a standard age of

650 days.

Eye Muscle Area EBV (cm estimates genetic differences in eye muscle area at the 12 rib site of a

300kg dressed carcase. More positive EBVs indicate larger eye muscle area and therefore higher

retail beef yields.

Rib Fat EBV (mm) estimates the genetic differences in fat depth at the 12113 rib in a 300kg dressed

carcase. More positive EBVs indicate more subcutaneous fat and earlier maturity.

Rump Fat EBV (mm) estimates the genetic differences in fat depth at the P8 site of a 300kg dressed

carcase. More positive EBVs indicate more subcutaneous fat and earlier maturity.

Retail Beef Yield Percent EBV (%) represents total (boned out) meat yield as a percentage of a

300kg dressed carcase. A more positive EBV indicates higher percentage yield for the 300kg carcase

weight.

Intra-Muscular Fat Percent EBV (%)is an estimate of the genetic difference in the percentage of

intra-muscular fat at the 12/1 3 rib site in a 300kg carcase. Depending on market targets, larger more

positive values are generally more favourable.
