Making money doesn't
necessarily mean working
longer hours or keeping more
beef cows. Cattlemen, can do
it by using genetically sup-
erior bulls to get the most
from their herds. These bulls
can pass on extra weight to
their offspring.
"The. National Sire Mon-
itoring Program records the
performance of bulls that
have been tested in many
herds," says Ralph Macai-t-
ney, Ontario Ministry of
.Agriculture and. Food beef
specialist.
This catalogue of top
performance bulls is pub-
lished annually by the fed-
eral government, 'in co-
operation with provincial
governments and artificial
insemination (AI) units
across Canada. This survey
summarizes all of the AI
bulls from all breeds. It
provides cattlemen with in-
formation about all of the
economically important traits
including calving ease,
weaning weights and year17
log weights.
Cattlemen can choose a
bull to increase returns by
comparing one , trait, for
example weaning weight. A
bull that shows a weaning
weight of 21 pounds above
average means an extra $26
per carat a price of $1.25 per
pound.
a"If you have 30 calves,
that difference in weaning
weight could mean a $780
increase in returns," says
, Mr. Macartney. "And any
; heifers you keep as replace-
ment will be genetically
1
1 .sunerior."
The National Sire Monitor-
; ing Program is not only
useful to cattlemen on com-
plete AI-breeding programs.'
Some producers may want to
use an AI program for only
six weeks, and it is beneficial
for that purpose as well.
"AI is an alternative to
keeping a bull for the herd,"
says Mr. Macartney. "It
allows cattlemen to'use gen-
etically superior bulls that
can make money for them."
