President’s comments
It seems like yesterday that I sat and wrote of
our impending trip to the UK. Now it seems like
a distant memory! We have been back for a
month and what a shock to arrive into winter
again. The trip to the UK was wonderful, the
hospitality superb, the stock presented in
wonderful order, the weather summer, and
getting together with likeminded people made
for an eventful 10 days. It was good to renew
friendships with many I had met in Australia.
The organising team had worked overtime
getting a very busy schedule arranged for us. I
felt humbled by the hospitality shown to us, as
Bob mentioned being stud breeders they were
determined to make sure we put on the kilo a
day.
England certainly has a great depth of cattle and
the Association is busy meeting the varied needs
of its members. We visited herds with the more
traditional type of animal (similar to many herds
here in New Zealand), and other more modern
type of animal where breeders have identified
and are breeding to meet their own market. One
of the interesting aspects was the growth in the
boxed meat market. Having a large population
throughout England supports this industry.
While I was overseas the opportunity came up
for a Red Devon breed feature in the Lifestyle
magazine. It was good to see both the
Association and members took up the offer. Also
during June the Northland Rural Living paper had
a Red Devon feature. Well done to all involved in
this promo work. It is something we need to
drive strongly to help our breed.
You will see later an article continuing the
discussion about having a grading up register.
After my trip to the UK and talking widely with
both the UK council and the Australian council I
personally believe that we need to go down this
path.

Pre-loved bulls
It won’t be long before thoughts turn to
mating time again. This can be a
challenge for some of the smaller
breeders.
Do you need to think about changing your
bull?
Do you have a bull that is still in good
working order but you may be faced with
sending to the works?
Are you thinking of AI?
Are you looking for a new bull?
Some members have bulls for sale on the
web page already, so have a look.
If you have bulls for sale or a pre-loved
bull and are looking to swap with another
breeder, we want to know.
A number of breeders have semen for
sale.
Please let Jill Dirksen know what you are
selling/wanting/semen available so we
can collate and help members.
Equally if you need any of the above give
Jill a ring. Equally consider putting an ad
on the web.
Boxed meat
One of the things which stood out during
the tour of UK was the number of Devon
breeders who sell meat direct to the
supplier. The scheme meets all the health
standards, with the animal being killed at
an abattoir, hung a minimum of three
weeks, then cut up and boxed into either
25 kg or 50 kg. Each box has a selection
of cuts often mince, stewing, braising,
rump, burgers, roasts.
Each herd which is involved seemed to
have a high quality brochure promoting
their product. Alongside this their
equivalent of our Meat & Wool produces
glossy little booklets showing how to cook
the different cuts of meat.
Altogether a professional package.
The meat price ranges from _3.90 to
£4.20 per pound of meat. The UK
Association brochure promoting Devon
Meat has an endorsement from Hugh
Fearnley-Whittingstall. Those who are
familiar with the TV programme River
Cottage will know who this chef is.
Often you can see his Devons in his TV
programme as he enthusiastically talks
about their meat quality.
While we were visiting the Red Down
herd, Robert James gave us a
demonstration of hind beef cutting, also
showing where on the animal each cut
came from and what as a butcher he was
looking for in an animal. We then ate the
meat on the BBQ. The hind quarter had
been hanging for 6 weeks. Yes that’s
right, 6 weeks. The quality was evident.
It’s timely to remind you all to consider
putting animals in to the Steak of Origin
competition. John and Cushla Dunn have
been flying the flag in this competition for
a few years and encourage more people
to put their beef up and showcase it.
The exposure for the breed is very good
and may help generate interest in
developing a good niche market for our
quality produce.
Herdbook consideration
It was mentioned in the last newsletter
that Council will be reviewing the current
by-laws. The area we are focusing on is
the closed herdbook. This by-law was put
in place in 1990, when the UK Association
allowed the use of saler into the herds. I
have been advised by Andy Lane, the UK
secretary that no-one in the UK has used
pure saler bulls since 1999.
Meat which has hung for 6 weeks
There are a number of first and second
generation cross animals in use and these
are recorded in the grading up register.
The resulting progeny meet the needs of
the individual breeder.
Over the last 20 years many things have
changed and we need to assess whether
this by-law is still relevant, or whether the
breed qualities can be maintained and
improved with a more open system.
One thing to ponder is that some consider
the New Zealand herds to be “pure”, yet
we have a growing number of polled
cattle.
This is not a pure Devon trait reflecting
past input into the breed.
Today many breeders are responding to
the demand by breeding poll animals for
sale.
This is an example of how breeders are
choosing their own preference.
Currently both the UK and Australia have
a grading up herd register. Members have
the personal choice to use stock which
has a background of non Devon parentage
and breed up themselves or whether they
use pedigree registered stock. In both
countries this was evident, yet both types
of cattle are successful, both types meet
the breed standard with both countries
having inspections before bulls can be
registered, and both types are meeting
the different needs of the individual
breeder, and this is managed within the
Association.
The challenge for Council is that we
represent all members and the breed. We
constantly go back to the objectives of the
Association, which has the fundamental
objective of maintaining and improving
the breed of Red Devon cattle. We need
to assess the best way forward, being
mindful that although the herd book was
closed 20 years ago, internationally
progress is being made, and we may need
to move too.
We are keen to get feedback from
members over their thoughts on the
current closed herdbook system. Please
contact any of the Council members. This
will be discussed at the next council
meeting.
Informal pot luck lunch
For those of you in Taranaki or close by,
Jill and I are planning a pot luck lunch
event. The day will include a short herd
walk then we will be looking at my photos
from the recent UK Devon tour. I have
put together a short review on each herd
we visited, plus have copies of the
handouts for you to look at and lots of
photos.
We will be viewing these with the
projector.
This will be on 26th September (Sunday),
with a start time of 10.30am. Anyone is
most welcome; bring something to share
for lunch.

Downs.
Key Dates
Thank you to those who returned your
corrected ADL sheets to Linda at PBBNZ.
We think most of the errors have been
corrected. There had been a delay getting
the new calving sheets arranged.
These will be changed next year and Linda
did not want the Association to incur large
costs getting the current report templates
printed only to have them become
obsolete in 12 months time.
She has been working with ABRI to
prepare a composite for us. This will be
with you shortly.
In future the dates will be:
REGISTRY:
- ADL sheets sent out in June.
- Calving sheets posted to members in
early July.
- Closing date to have them back would
be end of Feb.
Weight sheets for performance recording
sent out as soon as you send in your
calving sheet.
i.e. As soon as your individual calving
report is returned it automatically triggers
the performance report to be sent out to
you.
ACCOUNTS:
- Annual membership fee will be invoiced
in April.
- Annual animal fee will be invoiced in
July.
Performance Recording EBV’s
ABRI have advised they are working on
this at present to get all the weights
“live”.
They are aware of the frustration for
members of having the weights in the
system but not being able to access EBV
values for the animals. Linda is in
constant contact with them to monitor
progress.
Performance Recording
By Graeme Dyke
It is important to recognise the
differences between birth recording
(entering birth details on calving sheets),
registering your cattle (normally done as
rising two tear olds) and performance
recording (weighing cattle and filling out
weight sheets).
I will go over each of these topics.
Birth Recording
Your ADL once completed and returned to
the office will show all registered females
two years and over still in your herd.
The office will send you calving sheets and
on these you enter birth records of calves
born.
Details of the females will be printed out
but you must enter the name and
herdbook number or ident of the bull that
sired the calf. These details can be found
on the registration certificate for the
particular bull.
Herd book or Ident numbers are easy to
understand. All identities consist of nine
numbers. The first four are the stud
number where the animal was born, the
next two are the year the animal was
born, and the last three the tag number of
the said animal.
Example; A calf born in 2010 at Te
Maewa, stud number 1707 and tagged
with number 158. Ident for this animal
will be 170710158.
Example; A calf born in 2006 at
Woodlands, stud number 2015 and tagged
with number 15. Ident for this animal will
be 201506015.
The ident stays with the animal for its
natural life and does not change even if it
is sold to different studs.

Your ADL once completed and returned to

The office will send you calving sheets and
on these you enter birth records of calves
born.

will be 170710158.
Example; A calf born in 2006 at
Woodlands, stud number 2015 and tagged
with number 15. Ident for this animal will
be 201506015.
The ident stays with the animal for its
natural life and does not change even if it
is sold to different studs.
Other main details required on your
calving sheet are sex of calf, date of birth,
whether artificially inseminated or not, tag
number given to calf, calving ease if
observed, calf fate, polled or horned and
birth weight if taken.
Recording birth weights is important if you
can physically do it. An easy way is to use
a set of bathroom scales set down on or
screwed to a piece of plywood.
Weigh yourself then pick up the calf and
subtract the difference. A tape is better
than nothing but in my experience is not
as accurate. If selling bulls, especially to
go over heifers, this information can be
critical if you want clients to come back.
Once your last calf is born return your
calving sheets to the office, ASAP, rather
than wait until the deadline date.
Remember if calves are not birth recorded
then they are never eligible for
registration, and neither are their
offspring.
Registering your cattle
Calves may be registered at any time but
this is normally done as rising two year
olds. This gives the cattle a chance to
grow out and show any potential and
gives you, the breeder, plenty of time to
asses your calves and consider their
breeding, selecting only the best for
replacements in your herd. Performance
Recording is a great tool to help you with
this task. A critical point to remember is
that only the breeder of the animal can
apply for registration. When registered
cows are sold with calves at foot the
calves may or may not be registered, this
decision is up to the breeder, depending
on the breeding and the calves
themselves. Applying for registration is
now as simple as changing the status of
the said animal to "R" on your ADL
(Animal Disposal List) which is sent to you
every year to update your active animals
with the office. Once you return your ADL,
registration certificates will be forwarded
to you. Please check them.
There is now no charge for registration of
animals, the cost is swallowed up in your
Dam Fees.
Performance Recording
Once your calving sheet has been sent to
the office a weight sheet will now be sent
to every stud to give everyone the
opportunity to start performance
recording. Performance recording basically
involves weighing your calves around 200,
400 and 600 days.
You will receive weight sheets in time to
weigh your calves firstly at around 200
days. Obviously not all calves are born on
the same day; some may be 8 weeks
older than the youngest. Don’t panic!
Take the date of the first calf born and the
date of the last calf born. Pick the date
right in the middle and add 200 days.
This will give you a near enough (sunny
day) date to weigh all of your calves.
The computer programme will take care
of the different birth dates.
Fill in the weight sheets remembering to
indicate any different management groups
within the mob.
(If any animals have been treated
different than others, ex, sick, grazed
differently etc). Send the weight sheets to
the office and another set of weight
sheets will be forwarded to you for the
400 day weights and so on. The
information collected over the years
help create a picture of where your
breeding/herd is going and can be a very
va luab le too l when se lect ing
replacements. It also highlights the
advantages and disadvantages in your
cow herd and allows you to select bulls
with variable traits to improve your herd’s
breeding performance. Reports are sent
to you after every weighing with updated
EBV"S (estimated breeding values) for all
animals weighed.
All animals are different and grow and
mature at different rates. Currently a
once yearly group run is done and your
animals are assessed alongside all other
herds performance recording in New
Zealand and Australia. This may include
the UK in the very near future. A list of
the top Sires and Dams is printed within
the BREED.
An animals breeding value can be defined
as its genetic merit for each trait. While it
is not possible to determine an animal’s
true breeding value, it is possible to try
and estimate it. These estimates of an
animal’s true breeding value are called
EBV’S.
EBV’S are given to each animal for –
- Birth Weight
- Milk
- 200 Day Growth
- 400 Day Growth
- 600 Day Growth
- Mature Cow Weight
- Fertility
- Carcase measurements (if taken).
Other statistics included in the report are
such things as number of herds the
animal have progeny, gestation length,
and a whole host of others. Genetic Trend
Graphs are also included.
With the weight of an animal recorded
and processed the EBV generated for that
animal also includes all other calves born
to the same sire even in different herds,
the same dam even in different years, and
a whole host of relatives. Breedplan
really does include genetics not just
weights.
Like everything there is a cost, and after a
lot of negotiation with Breedplan a special
deal for those with smaller herds has been
arranged.
Up to 10 cows No Charge $1.60 calf
11-20 cows $150.00 $1.60 calf
21-40 cows $200.00 $1.60 calf
41-60 cows $250.00 $1.60 calf
61-80 cows $275.00 $1.60 calf
Over 80 cows $300.00 $1.60 calf
All amounts are payable yearly to our
Association. The $1.60 calf cost is payable
only once per calf born and includes fees
for 200, 400, 600 day weights. Of course
to weigh cattle you need cattle scales.
I consider my scales to be one of the most
important pieces of equipment on the
farm. They can be used for weighing a
whole host of other things besides cattle.
Consider the cost of drench, with scales
you use the right amount every time,
under drenching can be worse than over
drenching in the long run and what a
waste. Over drenching is just stupid and
can be dangerous to your animal’s health,
think of drench resistance and the cost.
People sometimes sell young stock so
much per kilo on the farm, others sell
them at saleyards, and others straight to
the works.
By weighing you can have accurate
information on what you are selling.
You don’t have to spend a fortune, farm
clearance sales are a good place to invest
in cattle weighing equipment.
Three members have been Performance
Recording with Breedplan for quite a few
years now, and if you have any questions
contact Graeme Dyke, Arthur Beazley or
Colin Nash who I know would be only to
happy to help you. Alternatively contact
Linda at PBBNZ for a copy of a disc at no
charge explaining Breedplan and how it
works. Hope the above helps clear up a
few little things, especially for the newer
members. This is value for money.
Yours in Devons,
Graeme Dyke.
