Cattle Tales Kaci Carrales | Executive Director | kcarrales@akaushi.com EXECUT I VE DIRECTOR’ S MESSAGE W ow! Twenty-five years ago, the American Akaushi

ticality reigned. Cattle were bred to be moder- ate framed, have more shape and depth in their rib design and be more structurally functional. But most important, the trend was to bring back better-tasting, tender, more palatable beef. It was then that premium branded beef pro- grams really took off. In 1976, four Wagyu bulls were the first to be imported to the United States. Mazda and Mt. Fuji were black, and Judo and Rueshaw were red. The next big shipment out of Japan was in 1994 and included the American Akaushi foundation breeding nucleus. With only a small breeding battery of Akaushi cattle, all breeding decisions were very strategic to make sure the inbreeding coefficient remained low. Embryo transfer played a huge part in growing the Akaushi breed. The ability to use the imported bulls Shigemaru, Tamamaru and Hikari as a basic, three-breed rotation on import females really opened up some diversity within the breed. Today, that same concept is still used with the ability to add Big Al, as well. The past 25 years have been a tough sell for the Akaushi breed. In general, Wagyu cattle don’t have that ideal phenotype compared to the traditional cattle we are used to seeing. Trying to sell to a rancher is probably one of the hard- est things to do since we tend to be very tradi- tional and don’t accept change easily. I am confident that all ranchers have one common goal: to produce productive and ef- ficient cattle. Thanks to the accessibility of Akaushi genetics, cow herds across the coun- try and around the world are able to set the stage to show this industry how productive and efficient these progeny can be, not only at the ranch level, but at feedyards and on the rail. When the American Akaushi Association (AAA) started in 2009, the vision was to pro- mote the Akaushi breed, as well as maintain and verify the breed’s purity, and monitor offspring performance and the quality of the final retail product. Having mandatory DNA parent verification on every AAA-registered animal brings integrity to the breed by ensur- ing Akaushi buyers can purchase with confi- dence. It also makes beef customers demand our product more when they realize they are buying what it says they are buying. We take

foundation breeding nucleus was arriving in the United States from Japan. Where were you 25 years ago? I was in third grade enjoying be- ing a kid and was just get- ting my feet wet in agricul- ture through 4-H.

Twenty-five years ago what were some of your goals to improve your cattle? Do you re- member any of the past trends related to cattle or the beef industry? Do you enjoy looking back through history and seeing changes in phenotype and genetics? Let’s take a little trip back to when the first cattle breeds came to America. Spanish settlers were among the first to bring what they call “Spanish cattle” to Florida in the mid-1500s. In 1690, the first herd of Longhorns inhabited Texas, which paved the way for the American cowboy. These cattle were very hardy, surviv- ing in some of the toughest environments, and were marketed for hides, tallow and meat. In 1783, the Shorthorn breed arrived in Virginia and was used as a dual-purpose meat and milk breed. The first Hereford cattle came to the Midwest in 1817, and Angus cattle were intro- duced in 1873. At that time, Angus bulls were mainly crossed with Texas Longhorns, result- ing in calves that performed better, especially during the winter. As time went on and more British-influenced cattle were imported, there was little to no change in performance and phenotype. We can all remember looking back at the fat cattle shows held in the Chicago Union Stockyards and seeing how early maturing, quick-patterned and fat the cattle were. Change was needed to increase growth, performance and cutability. That’s where the introduction of European cattle came into play during the late 1960s and early 1970s. These cattle were known for growth, muscle and leanness, and became extremely popular, especially in the show ring. But that trend shifted the beef herd to opposite extreme. Now cattle were too big, unprothe ductive – especially the females – and lacked marbling potential. It seems by the 2000s, the trend shifted again. This time, prac-

DNA Matters Tim Kozelsky | DNA and Data Service Analyst | tkozelsky@akaushi.com AKAUSHI BREED GENET ICS H owdy all! As we prepare to celebrate 25 years of the 1/2 page horizontal, 4C Prime Ti e Brown Land & Cattle, LLC Fall 2019 Akaushi breed being in the United States, I thought it would be good to review the association’s DNA his- tory and progress. The American Akaushi Asso- ciation (AAA) was among the very first cattle breed

ics (MMI) in Davis, Calif. They were processed using the STR microsatellite profiling method. The first round of DNA sample collection used the nasal swab method as the primary sample and hair as the backup. Since HeartBrand and Beeman Ranch were the only owners of the foundation herd, and they kept meticulous herd records, DNA was used to verify those records and not as a means of determining parentage. Since then, the DNA labs have changed own- ership several times. MMI was purchased by Scidera, which was purchased by GeneSeek ® , which was purchased by Neogen ® . Other than name changes on who we addressed the sam- ple shipments to, the only physical address change occurred when GeneSeek purchased Scidera in early 2013 and moved the lab from California to Lincoln, Neb. All of our samples are now submitted to the Neogen lab in Lincoln. The first blood DNA samples were submitted in the summer of 2011. We added the Temple Continued page 28

associations to DNA profile the entire known Akaushi breeding herd. Unlike other breeds, Akaushi breeding certificates were issued based on DNA results and not herd records. Most other breeds only used DNA as parent verification of show stock at that time. The first DNA samples were collected in fall 2009 at HeartBrand Ranch in order to conduct the initial DNA profiling of the foundation breeding herd. In 2010, more than 4,800 sam- ples were submitted to MetaMorphix Genom-

Producers of Red Angus and Hereford x Akaushi F1’s We have a great herd of Red Angus and Hereford

cows that we breed to Akaushi bulls to produce superb quality F1 Akaushi heifers.The Red Angus F1’s are solid red and mostly polled.The Hereford F1’s are red white-faced cattle and all have been de-horned.

These cattle are a cowman’s kind and will be productive for many years.They're moderately framed with great maternal characteristics and mothering/milking ability! They will produce tremendous “A4-eligible” ¾-blood females and feeder steers with yield and quality grades to compete with the top F1 Akaushi genetics in the breed.

your neighbor but brand your cattle” comes into play here. Be very thorough when asking questions about the pedigrees of the animals you plan to purchase and ask to see their certificates. Full- blood animals will have a registration number with the prefix “AF” listed at the top right corner of the registration paper and “Parent-Verified” on the left side of the certificate only if the as- sociation has confirmed that the listed pedigree has been confirmed through DNA processing. If the animal’s certificate is not available, we suggest calling the AAA office to confirm you are buying from a trusted source or to deter- mine if a specific animal is registered and veri- fied with us. The AAA wants every Akaushi experience to be second to none whether it be through consuming an outstanding primal cut, building a successful branded beef program or upgrading your cow base with Akaushi genet- ics. Confirming you’re purchasing a parent- verified animal is the first step to ensuring an outstanding Akaushi experience. With that said, if there is anything you believe we as an association can do to increase the value of your experience, please do not hesitate to reach out to any of the team members. Although I mentioned this year has been quite success- ful for the AAA, we are continually looking for ways to grow and further serve our members. We look forward to hearing from you. PT great pride in what we produce, and we want to make sure your Akaushi experience is the best one yet! So, where will we be in the next 25 years? We hope to be one of the leading beef breeds that helps lead the charge to doubling the national average for the number of carcasses receiving Prime Quality Grades. The associa- tion is here to serve its members, but it is only as strong and progressive as its membership. Growing the breed is a group effort, and we invite you to serve the association in whatever capacity you can through trade shows, field days and simply sharing your closeouts and carcass data with your neighbors.

can Akaushi Association (AAA)! We are celebrating 25 years of Akaushi being in the United States, our membership numbers are rapidly increasing, and this has been, by far, a record year for DNA processing.

I want to take a moment to say thank you to our members and supporters who have worked to build the quantity as well as the quality of the Akaushi breed throughout the past 25 years. Having such dedicated members who are driven to increase the quality of the beef industry is what makes being a part of the Akaushi team so enjoyable. Since the association originated in 2009, our mission has been to provide programs, servic- es, technology and leadership to enhance the Akaushi breed’s genetics, broaden its influence within the beef industry and expand the world- wide market for superior-tasting, high-quality Certified Akaushi Beef. Although the AAA provides several services to fulfill its mission and increase the efficiency of each producer’s operation, one particular aspect that is prin- cipal to the purity of the Akaushi breed is the parent-verification process. It is well known that the AAA requires all Akaushi animals, fullblood and percent- age blood, to be parent verified through DNA processing. But, why is this such an important and required process? Thanks to parent veri- fication, Akaushi offspring can be traced back to the foundation Akaushi breeding herd that was brought to the United States 25 years ago, meaning the lineage of the American Akaushi can be traced back more than 30 generations! Having this information can increase the prof- itability of any Akaushi herd, but more impor- tant, it has instilled a sense of integrity behind the Akaushi breed. The Akaushi team recommends that all Akaushi breeders and potential Akaushi buyers use the parent-verified system as a tool when it comes time to buy any Akaushi-influenced animal. The AAA considers this a tool because it allows anyone to buy with not only confi- dence, but with certainty. The saying “trust

“You always overestimate what you can get done in one year and underestimate what you can get done in 10.” – Bill Gates

A Akaushi … What’s that? Twenty-five years ago, who knew? Who knew that this single breed of ani- mals would develop into an industry-altering phenom- enon? Who knew Akaushi would change the way

The Beeman family began growing their nucleus of cattle, and educating consumers and cattle ranchers about Akaushi. One of the best ways to promote Akaushi cattle and Akaushi beef is simple – taste it! When HeartBrand Beef began harvesting cattle in 2007, they were tack- ling about 10 head per week to sell. It took a lit- tle time for consumers to experience the differ- ence of Akaushi beef. Then they began asking for it by name. HeartBrand Beef was harvesting 60 head in 2012 and, by 2017, they were harvest- ing 150 head per week. Today, HeartBrand Beef is harvesting around 240 head each week. HeartBrand Beef has built their branded beef program from the ground up. Consumers are asking for Certified Akaushi Beef. All Akaushi beef programs are picking up momentum and growing thanks to this genetically superior breed.

health fanatics look at beef? Who knew one simple taste of this heart-healthy beef could keep you hooked for life? The group of Texas businessmen who in- troduced this breed to the United States knew these cattle were unique. They knew the Akaushi breed had something to offer. What they did not know is how to grow this amazing breed. In 2006, the Beeman family seized the opportunity to take this breed above and be- yond expectations.

Sean, just like thousands of rural kids across the country, loved the county fair. He had been especially excited this year to show the steer he’d picked out and bought from one of his neighbors. In fact, instead of waiting until the week before the fair, he’d kept his 4-H record book completely up-to-date. It was pretty much completed before he died. What kind of kid does that?
