Important Notice to VendorsARRIVAL OF STOCK: As per timetable of events (page 5).

PRE-SALE INSPECTION: All animals entered for the sale must be available for inspection in the sale premises by a panel of inspectors, including a qualified Veterinary Officer. The Inspectors will have regard to general health and genetic defects, particularly mouth, teeth, eyes, testicles, locomotion and general conformation. Any animal discov-ered with a genetic fault, disease, disorder or is considered by the panel to be not in a proper and healthy condition to be presented as representing a good specimen of the breed will be REJECTED and the Entry Fee forfeit. Animals will be placed in a crush for this inspection - as required by the inspectors. No pedigree or grade registered stock, entered for the sale, shall have horns.

Two Society Members will form an appeal committee, one of whom will be a society council member. The appeal committee will be elected prior to the sale.

If any exhibitor feels the need to formally lodge an appeal against the result of an inspection, they must from the begin-ning speak ONLY to the Chief Inspector. He will then ask for a deposit of £20 from the exhibitor. The appeal committee will then carry out their own inspection of the animal and their decision will be final. The deposit will only be returned if the appeal is successful.

RECORD WEIGHTS & HEIGHTS: All bulls will be weighed and measured by an official as an integral part of the pre-sale inspection procedure and the data will be displayed above the animals pen.

EVERY ANIMAL entered for the SHOW and SALE must be halter trained and shall have no horns. Bulls must be led with a nose rope. Every animal entered for the sale must be provided with a serviceable halter, which shall become the property of the Purchaser.

UK TAGS/TATTOO MARKS - All cattle entered for the Sale will have their UK Tags/Tattoo marks examined as an integral part of the pre sale inspection procedure. Any marks found to have faulty, incorrect or illegible marks will be REJECTED from the Sale. Vendors are therefore urged, in their own best interests, to examine the UK Tags/Tattoo marks of Sale cattle before the animal(s) leave their farm, so that faulty marks can be recitified in accordance with the required Society procedures.

CONDITIONS OF SALE The sale will be held subject to the Auction Rules and Conditions of Sale drawn up by the British Blue Cattle Society:

“No member shall withdraw from sale any animal catalogued for sale. Any member who, having entered an animal for sale under these rules, fails to bring that animal to that sale, must produce, either at the sale or by post to reach the Registered office of the Society within 7 days of the sale, a veterinary surgeon’s certificate accounting for such absence on grounds of health. Failure to produce such a certificate within the time stipulated will automatically render the member liable to a summary fine of £50 (imposed by the Council and subject to variation from time to time) in respect of each animal not brought forward. In addition, all entry fees will be forfeited, and no further pedigree registrations or entries for other sales will be accepted from that member until such fine or fines have been paid.”

The proceeds of sale are guaranteed by the Auctioneers, who will account to Vendors on the day of the Sale. Such guaran-tee, however, does not extend to the animals sold for export, to which special conditions apply.

UPSET PRICES - There will be an “upset” price of 1500gns on each bull presented for sale - i.e. if no opening bid of 1500gns is received for any particular lot that lot will be passed out of ring unsold.

ALL REGISTERED CATTLE entered for the Show & Sale (Pedigree or Grade Register), also pregnant recipient cows or heif-ers will be sold in guineas (105 pence) and a commission 5% will be charged by the Auctioneers on all sale.

RESERVE PRICES: Vendors shall have the right to refuse to accept the final bid for their animals, or to fix a Reserve Price, which must be notified to the Auctioneers in writing before or at the time their animal enters the Sale Ring. The auction-eers reserve the right to charge half commission on the amount of the final bid in the case of animals which fail to reach the Vendors reserve price.

All animals will be sold in guineas (105 pence) and a commission of 5% will be charged by the Auctioneers on all sales.

No animal may be sold privately before being passed through the Auction Ring and FULL COMMISSION will be charged on the sale of any animal sold by private treaty after the auction. All such transactions MUST BE PASSED THROUGH THE AUCTIONEERS OFFICE.

9

PRIZE MONEY: Will be withheld unless the winners are sold, either by auction or private treaty.

STRAW: A limited amount of bedding straw will be provided by the Auctioneers free of charge. Additional Straw, if re-quired, may be purchased from the Auctioneers.

The British Blue Cattle Society’s Sale levy, amounting to 1% of sale price, will be deducted by the Auctioneers from the proceeds of sale.

MINIMUM HEIGHT WEIGHT AND SCROTUM DIMENSIONS

January 2012 This document is published to help members select cattle of the right type and specification, for entry into prestigious sales, held under the auspices of the Society. It also sets out criteria for the Society’s Volunteer Inspectors to work to, which in turn, facilitates uniformity across all Society sales. Apart from meeting the minimum standards stated below, pedigree cattle should also conform to the Society’s Bylaws, number 1.1 of which states: - “The definition of the breed’s characteristics is as follows: - A long, large bodied beef animal with fine bones, double muscle, sloping rump and hidden hips, strong legs and correct mouth. Coat colour can be black, white, blue, or any combination of these colours that is acceptable to the Council.” 1. The ear tattoo should be clearly legible and the letters and numbers agree with the pedigrees. Animals born after 1 January 1998 require

no tattoo, on condition that they have been double tagged, as per Ministry regulations 2. Animals must conform to minimum heights and weights specified by the Society’s Council. See over for the detailed charts 3. Teeth and jaws should be correct in terms of position and bone structure. A degree of latitude shall be allowed where an animal is cutting

teeth. The Chief Inspectors decision is final, with regard to acceptable jaw and teeth configurations. 4. The testicles and sheath shall be checked for correctness. Testicles should be of good conformation and consistency, with the epididymis

showing definition. The minimum circumference of the scrotum between 10 and 24 months is shown overleaf. Animals over 24 months must have a minimum scrotal circumference of 31cm.

5. All animals must be in good, healthy condition and free from signs of infectious diseases, such as Viral Warts, Live Ring Worm etc. (A

Veterinary certificate must accompany animals if previously treated, this treatment must have been carried out at least 14 days prior to the sale), Mange, New Forest Disease, Lice.

6. All animals should be able to walk correctly, on the day of inspection, with no genetic defects. The general mobility of the animal should be

acceptable for practical use and not be detrimental to the breed’s reputation. Bulls with an exceptional conformation will be allowed a degree of latitude with regard to mobility

The Council of the British Blue Cattle Society would urge all potential vendors to adhere strictly to these notes when entering cattle into official sales and to seek advice, prior to the sale, if they are uncertain as to whether an animal will pass. This will avoid the disappointment of any of their cattle being rejected by the Inspectors. Should any cattle be rejected, it is the vendor’s responsibility to ensure that the Lot Number is sprayed in red at the time of inspection. Such cattle may be sold privately from the pens, the sale going through the auctioneer’s books. Rejected animals may not be sold through the pedigree or commercial ring at a Society sale

WEIGHT FOR AGE

INSPECTION CRITERIA AT SOCIETY SPONSORED SALES

SAFETYA Vendor must not enter for sale, any animal with a potentially dangerous temperament. The Society’s Inspectors have the right to demand the immediate removal, from the sale and the sale premises, of any animal, which, in their opinion, demonstrates a temperament, which could be dangerous to the public

All Animals Must Be Halter Trained No Animal Shall Have Horns It is a statutory requirement that any bull over the age of 12 months, sold through a public auction, shall have a ring in its nose The objective of the Official Society Inspection is primarily in place to raise the breed standard and the inspection panel’s decision

is intended as a purchasers guide only. Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves as to the suitability of an animal for their particular requirements. By bidding for an animal the intended purchaser accepts the Societies and Auctioneers conditions of sale, the animal being theirs at the fall of the hammer.

3 Month Rule – No calf, whether pedigree or commercial, under the age of 3 months will be accepted for either the show, or sale

1) The bull is not used within one month of the date of purchase.

2) Ensure that the bull is in ‘Breeding condition’ before use.

3) In consultation with the vendor, maintain the bull on its current diet and only introduce any new feed gradually.

4) When the bull is first used, try it with 1-2 smaller cows first, in a yard on a non-slip surface, so he is introduced to service gradually and safely. Observe him closely to ensure that he is inseminating the cow properly.

5) Once you are satisfied that these cows are not returning then put the bull out with the rest of your cows. 20 to 25 cows is a maximum in the first year.

6) British Blues are warranted fertile from 20 months of age. The Bull is not warranted if it is used prior to this age.

7) It is a fact that ‘British Blues’ as a breed, sexually mature, 4-5 months later than some other Breeds. Please bear this in mind

Failure to observe the above could invalidate a claim under the Bull Breeding Warranty

It is a condition of sale, that where a warranty claim on a bull is upheld, that the purchaser shall agree to the Society or its agent, on behalf of the vendor, should it choose to do so, of having access to all calves that he has bred in the last 12 months, along with their dams if necessary, for the purpose of undertaking DNA parentage checks.

EXPLANATORY NOTES FOR CATALOGUES Only British Blue GROUP BREEDPLAN EBVs or INTERIM EBVs with Accuracy (Acc) can be validly compared between herds. ESTIMATED BREEDING VALUES (EBVS)

The EBV is the best estimate of an animal's genetic merit for that trait.

ACCURACY An accuracy value is presented with every EBV and gives an indication of the amount of information that has been used in the calculation of that EBV. The higher the accuracy the lower the likelihood of change in the animal's EBV as more information is analysed for that animal or it's relatives. Accuracy below 75% should be considered low.

CALVING EASE Calving Ease EBVs are based on calving difficulty scores, birth weights and gestation length

information. More positive EBVs are favourable and indicate easier calving. DIR: Direct calving ease indicates how this animal influences the birth of its progeny. DTRS: Daughter’s calving ease indicates how well the animal produces daughters that have easier calving.

BIRTH AND FERTILITY GL: Gestation Length EBV (days) is based on AI records. Lower (negative) GL EBVs indicate

shorter gestation lengths which generally relate to easier calving and increased growth after birth.

BWT: Birth Weight EBV (kg) is based on the measured birth weight of animals, adjusted for

dam age. The lower the value the lighter the calf at birth and the lower the likelihood of a difficult birth. This is particularly important when selecting sires for use over heifers.

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

quantity. Higher (positive) EBVs indicate higher fertility. There is also a small negative correlation with age of puberty in female progeny.

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

EBV is indicative of their daughter’s milking ability as it affects the 200-day weight of their calves.

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

300 days of age. Values are adjusted to 200 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal's genetic merit for growth to early ages.

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

and 500 days of age, adjusted to 400 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal's genetic merit for yearling weight.


and 900 days of age, adjusted to 600 days and for dam age. This EBV is the best single estimate of an animal's genetic merit for growth beyond yearling age.

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

5 years of age. Smaller, or more moderate EBVs are generally more favourable.

CARCASE CWT: Carcase Weight EBV (kg) estimates the genetic difference in carcase weight at a

standard age of 650 days. EMA: Eye Muscle Area EBV (cm2) estimates genetic differences in eye muscle area of a 300kg

dressed carcase. More positive EBVs indicate better muscling on animals. FAT: Rib Fat EBV (mm) estimates the genetic differences in fat depth at the rib in a 300kg

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

RBY%: Retail Beef Yield Percent EBV (%) represents total (boned out) meat yield as a percentage of a 300kg dressed carcase. A more positive EBV indicates higher percentage yield for the 300kg carcase size.

IMF%: Intra-muscular Fat Percent EBV (%) is an estimate of the genetic difference in the

percentage of intra-muscular fat at the 12/13th rib site in a 300kg carcase. Depending on market targets, larger more positive values are generally more favourable.

INDEXES An index combines the EBVs with economic information (costs and returns) for specific

market and production systems to rank animals based on relative profit values. Note that the different types of animals can give similar profit values, so you should also consider both the index and the component EBVs when selecting animals for your production system.

BBB Carcase Yield Index (£’s) - Estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow mated for an example commercial herd targeting the EU market with no marbling requirement. All progeny are assumed to be marketed at around 550-580 kg live weight (280-320 kg carcase weight) at approximately 19 months of age.

Bulls with a higher BBB Carcase Yield Index will have a greater genetic potential to sire heavier finished progeny. As there are no maternal traits included in the calculation of the BB Carcase Yield Index, bulls with a high Index will not necessarily be suitable for breeding heifer replacements.

BBB Pedigree Breeding Index (£’s) - This index (£ per cow joined) targets herds that breed their own replacement cows and bulls and slaughter progeny from large framed cows. Steer progeny are slaughter at around 16 months of age at 620 kg live weight (360 kg carcase weight). The main EBV emphases are on weight, carcase retail beef yield and calving ease. The index estimates the genetic differences between animals in net profitability per cow mated for a herd targeting the EU market with no marbling requirement. With this in mind, the index also identifies suitable replacement breeding animals by also considering the maternal and fertility traits of the animal. Therefore, both direct and daughters calving ease are included in the index.

This index is only reported for animals with at least moderate accuracy for the key traits. Animals must also be in the top 50th percentile or better for Calving Ease Direct, 400 Day Weight and Retail Beef Yield % EBVs.

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

With Britain set to take centre stage this year, we celebrate all rural Britain has to offer.

PPA EDITORIAL CAMPAIGN OF THE YEAR WINNER 2008 AND 2011

WWW.FARMERSGUARDIAN.COM

By Alistair Driver

FARMING Minister Jim Paice haschallenged British farmers to ‘setthe industry on fire’by leaving thepast behind and embracing theopportunities on offer in today’smarketplace.

Speaking at the Oxford Farm-ing Conference, Mr Paice laid outhis vision for British farmingbased on seeking out new globalmarkets, innovating using allavailable technologies and ulti-mately thriving without the support of direct subsidies.

He also revealed Defra wouldbe hosting an ‘innovation summit’in London in March followed by aseries of ‘practical’regional events.

He dismissed the view of farm-ing ‘as a quaint old industry’ andurged farmers to look to the future.

“We can keep the cosy image of Buttercup in the field produc-ing a few litres a day and the bucolic farmer leaning on his gateWe can sentimentalise farmers assmall players in a market domi-nated by supermarkets at homeand multinational conglomeratesabroad,”he said.

“Or we can set this industry onfire and take the opportunities andface the reality they provide.”

He insisted his comments werenot about advocating ‘big, corpo-rate’ farms over ‘small, family’businesses: “It is about attitude:whether to pine for the old days ofgovernment intervention and pro-tection, or to face the challenges.”

At the heart of his speech wasthe need for the industry to use ‘thebest research, technology andknowledge transfer we can get’ tohelp boost production, while pro-tecting resources and biodiversity.

Driving ambitionMr Paice identified the Agricultureand Horticulture Develop-ment Board (AHDB) as the ‘professional body’ to drive the in-dustry forward in this area and hadasked AHDB chairman John God-frey to address how this could beachieved. He stressed the industryneeded to accept it was competingin a global food marketplace andto seek out export opportunities‘where we are most competitive’.

Shadow Defra Secretary MaryCreagh said food was ‘one of thedefining political issues of this cen-tury’, but criticised the Govern-ment for failing to address all theissues surrounding it.

Highlighting the role farmingand food can play in stimulatingeconomic recovery, she warned ofincreasing food poverty in the UKagainst a backdrop of rising foodprices, exacerbated, she claimed,by commodity speculation.

NFU president Peter Kendallsaid he was heartened by MrPaice’s message.
