Ideal Rump Structure – Does It Actually Matter?

Classifiers and show judges evaluate and compare cow body parts for their structure according to the breed conformation scorecard and breed ideals. Yet, yield and profit focused breeders and A.I. are now selecting based on the proven science of the functionality of body parts. This Bullvine article addresses the documented facts on Holstein cows’ rumps. Which rump traits need to be left behind? Which rump related trait indexes need to be used in over ninety percent of dairy herds when selecting and mating sires?

Source: Holstein Canada

What Do Breed Ideal Rumps Look Like?

Both US and Canadian Holstein Breeds describe the ideal rumps as being long, wide, pins slightly lower than hips, neither anus or tailhead recessed, freedom from coarseness, etc. … so as to have rumps that facilitate easier calvings and that assist with improved cow fertility, healthy recovery after calving and increased cow longevity. 

But do those descriptions hold up, when it comes to what happens in the field?

Additionally, which is the correct emphasis on the rump – US at 5 point out of 100 or Canada at 12 points? In the showring it is the author’s observation that judges often place more than 20 points on the rump when giving reasons for their class placings.

The Evolution of Holstein Rumps

Very old cow pictures often show cows that were very, even extremely, sloped from hips to pins. Somewhat like what we see in today’s native wild deer populations.

By the early to mid-twentieth century the desired rump was wide, pins level with hips and tail heads between the pin bones on cows of about 53” – 55” in stature.

Then it was decided that Holstein cows needed to be taller. Much taller by the 1980’s. This tallness and the popular bloodlines seem to have brought with them narrower animals, narrower rumps or smaller pelvis openings and more difficult birthing. An added negative was that breeders wanted larger calves, feeling that larger birth size lead to larger mature animals. In fact, that is not universally the case.

Thank goodness reason is winning out for moderated stature and what size healthy calves need to be.

What Do Results Say About Today’s Ideal Rumps?

Published Canadian (CDN) genetic correlations provide information on rump traits that dairy breeders need to be aware of. These results are based on 4,182 Holstein sires proven between 2003 and 2018.

The genetic correlations to longevity (Herd Life) by the classified traits are: rump angle (0.12), pin width (-0.08), loin strength (0.04), thurl placement (0.18) and overall rump (0.15).

The genetic correlations to fertility (Daughter Fertility) by classified traits are: rump angle (0.04), pin width (-0.06), loin strength (-0.10), thurl placement (0.06) and overall rump (-0.01).

Remember that the breed societies say the ideal rumps lead to improved longevity and fertility – but with those low correlations it just isn’t so.

The conclusion this author draws is that the rump traits, as captured by the type classification programs, do not contribute positively to either longevity or fertility in Canadian Holsteins. Correlations using US data do not appear to be available on the www.

How Important Are Rumps?

How often in a cow’s lifetime can rump structure be a limiting factor?

Consider a cow that first calves at 23 months and completes four lactations and is removed from the herd at 75 months of age. Put on a functioning basis, this means she calves on four days (0.002% of her days), walks on her feet and legs for 2280 days (100% of her days), milks for 1430 days (62.7% of her days) and is dry for 150 days (6.5% of her days).

Draw your own conclusions. However for this author rump structure ranks far far behind feet and legs (foot structure, rear-legs-rear-view, flex of hock and mobility) and mammary system (depth, cleft, teat placement and attachments) when it comes to deserving attention when selecting sires to be used in herds that focus on profitably producing milk solids.

What Really Counts in Rumps?

Rumps that function best allow for quick, easy births, fast recovery of the mother and a healthy calf with minimal stress. For the dam side of this, it is best measured by farmer supplied measurements on her calving ease – Daughter Calving Ease (USA) and Daughter Calving Ability (CAN). For the calf side of this the sire’s calving ease is important – Calving Ease (USA) and Calving Ability (CAN). In the USA, CA$’s are published for animals which combines information on both calving ease and stillbirths.

The Canadian correlations for proven sires, for the study referred to above, are as follows: for longevity (Herd Life) with sire calving ability (0.25) and daughter calving ability (0.43); and for fertility (Daughter Fertility) with sire calving ability (0.14) and daughter calving ability (0.40).

By a considerable amount (2x to 10x) daughter calving ability is a superior index to all the classified rump traits in predicting longevity and fertility in Canadian Holsteins. Although farm captured data does not exist for calf health at one week of age, it is likely that daughter calving ability is at least moderately correlated to calf health and wellbeing.

Why the Fixation with Rumps?

The short answer may have two parts:

1) Tradition – when other more accurate measures were not available, then visual observation of the exterior was the best tool available; and

2) Sight line and proximity – breeders’, classifiers’ and show judges’ eyes, when viewed from the rear of an animal, are at the same level at the rump.

Take Home Messages

  1. Daughter Calving Ease (DCE or DCA) is the best predictor that currently exists for the best rumps.
  2. Holsteins are improving for Daughter Calving Ease, but breeders will be well rewarded for continuing to use sires that are rated above average for CA$, DCE or DCA.
  3. The bull Oman was a great help for the Holstein breed being able to reduce calving difficulties.
  4. AI. organizations publish CE’s and DCE’s for their sires and most no longer sample or market sires that leave calves that are born with difficulty.
  5. Sire rump type indexes are not good predictors of daughter calving ease.

The Bullvine Bottom Line

Current Holstein breed ideals and standards for rump structure and the emphasis placed on rumps in the type classification programs are only of quite limited value for most herds. Outside rump appearance bears little value in predicting calving ease, longevity and fertility.

Conformation evaluations need to include the functioning of the body part and not simply the appearance. Rumps could be a good place for breeds to start in revamping their type classification programs in order to remain relevant to tomorrow dairy farmers’ needs.

New #1 for both LPI and Pro$ Among Proven Sires and Cows – August 2019 Canadian Holstein Highlights

This August release makes history as there is a new breed leader for each of the top LPI and Pro$ lists among proven sires and genotyped cows. For sires, Benner Bardo (Flame x Mogul) makes gains for both production and conformation after receiving his first official LPI last round and is promoted to #1 for LPI and #5 Pro$ (#4 Fat). On the Pro$ side, it is EDG Rubicon‐ET (Mogul x Robust) that makes a similar move from #2 position last round to grab #1 Pro$ (#4 LPI, #1 Fat). Three other sires achieve Top 10 status for both indexes with Ronelee Midnight Detour‐ET (Midnight x Mogul) being the highest at #2 Pro$ and #3 LPI after making gains for both production and conformation traits. After reaching proven status in April, S‐S‐I Montross Duke‐ET (Montross x Supersire) stays very strong landing at #3 Pro$ and #6 LPI this round (#2 Fat, #1 Protein). Circle‐ K McCall 918 (Mayflower son out of Circle‐K Super Cara‐ET) distinguishes himself as the only newly proven sire this round that penetrates both Top 10 lists, arriving at #6 Pro$ and #9 LPI (#10 Milk, #4 Protein).

With the arrival of an outstanding group of newly proven sires, the Top 10 LPI list experiences significant disruption. In addition to McCall, four other newcomers achieve Top 10 status for LPI. The highest of these is Silverstream Porter (Bombero son out of Templedale Mogul Paris), who debuts 20 LPI points behind the breed leader at #2 LPI and #12 Pro$. The three others include Holyland Elite Exactly‐ET (Halogen son out of Holyland Mxer Elite 2116‐ET) at #5 LPI (#24 Pro$), Wilra Harvest‐ET (among the first proven Monterey sons in Canada, dam is Wilra Uno 497‐ET) at #7 LPI (#26 Pro$, tied #6 Conformation), and Stantons Alligator‐ET at #8 LPI (#81 Pro$, tied #4 Conformation), who is the first proven son of Stantons McCutchen 1174 Agree and is by Kingboy. Gillette Cleveland (Bombero x McCutchen) completes this round’s Top 10 LPI list in #10 position (tied #43 Pro$).

Alongside McCall, only Peak AltaMoreno‐ET achieves Top 10 Pro$ status upon his debut as a newly proven sire this round, arriving at #8 Pro$ (#29 LPI). Four previously proven sires are also on the Top 10 Pro$ list this August, including EDG AltaYura‐ET at #4 Pro$ (#53 LPI, maternal brother to Rubicon), Glen‐D‐Haven AltaHotrod at #7 Pro$ (#21 LPI), Larcrest Commander‐ET at #9 Pro$ (#18 LPI) and Seagull‐Bay Silver‐ET at #10 Pro$ (#28 LPI).

Newly Proven Polled Sire Achieves Success for Both National Indexes

As usual each round, a group of over 100 genomic young bulls achieve proven status this August, including sons of Kingboy (13), Bombero (9) and Montross (8) as well as other sires with four sons or less. Once again, Mogul has the most proven sons on the Top 100 lists, having 11 for both LPI and Pro$, and he is also a frequent maternal grandsire among top proven sires including the top three for LPI.

Notwithstanding the strong performance of the newly proven sires previously mentioned, there are seven other newcomers that penetrate the Top 35 rankings for LPI and/or Pro$. One of these of particular interest is Pine‐Tree Caleb‐P‐ET*POC (Bombero x Castaway) since he becomes the highest ranked polled proven sire in Canada with his debut at #19 Pro$ and #32 LPI. De‐Su Tampa 12637‐ET (Tatum x Mogul) lands just shy of the Top 10 LPI list at #14 LPI (#42 Pro$) with Aurora Kato 348‐ET (Kingpin x Mogul) not far behind in #16 LPI position (#36 Pro$). Taking #20 LPI spot this round (#25 Pro$) is Silverridge V Kyrian (Kingboy x Mogul). Two newcomers that rank higher for Pro$ include Progenesis Depart (Bombero x Supersire) at #16 Pro$ (#24 LPI) and Silverridge V Euclid (Supershot x McCutchen), who is tied at #30 Pro$ and is also tied at #43 LPI. Peak AltaPainter (Davinci x Numero Uno) also achieves Top 35 status as he lands at #33 Pro$ (#42 LPI).

New Breed Queen for Both GLPI and Pro$

As for sires, the top cow lists for both GLPI and Pro$ see a new arrival at the summit. For GLPI, it is Progenesis Exactly Best that takes the crown at #1 GLPI (#32 Pro$), who is a daughter of the newly proven sire, Holyland Elite Exactly‐ET (#5 GLPI, #24 Pro$) out of England‐Ammon MT Barbara‐ET, by Montross. For Pro$, it is Stantons Helix Roll‐ET that now reigns in #1 position (#19 GLPI, #1 Fat) and she is a daughter of AOT Silver Helix‐ET (currently proven in the US) out of Stantons Just Rolling‐ET (#15 Pro$, #49 GLPI, Rubicon x AltaJackman). Close behind Roll is the second highest newly indexed cow this round at #2 Pro$ and #3 GLPI, namely Stantons Dollar Helix‐ET. She is also a Helix daughter and lands just ahead of her dam, Stantons Real Dollars‐ET (Rubicon x Day), who stays strong at #3 Pro$ and is tied at #7 GLPI. The third cow to achieve Top 10 status for both indexes this round is Bofran Detour Flavie as she takes #6 position for both GLPI and Pro$.

The former GLPI leader, Gusnis Duke Becky (Duke x Brewmaster), holds on and ends up at #2 GLPI this round (#18 Pro$). Three other Duke daughters that are newly indexed this round also achieve outstanding success. The highest for Pro$ is Albadon Duke Faster in #4 position (#21 GLPI, tied #5 Fat), while the highest for GLPI is Dudoc Duke Haleine P*POR in #4 spot (#31 GLPI). This accomplishment makes Haleine the highest ranking polled cow for GLPI while Dudoc Silver Sarcasme*POC maintains this title for Pro$, in #11 position (#10 GLPI). The third successful newly indexed Duke daughter this August is Ravendale Duke Aloha (dam is Morsan Jcaey Amanda 1924), who makes her debut at #5 GLPI (#30 Pro$). Three other newly indexed cows penetrate the Top 10 list for either national index. These include BGP Delta Honna‐ET (dam is View‐Home Uno Hope‐ ET), who arrives tied at #7 GLPI (#14 Pro$), Stantons Flagship Nady‐ET (dam is Ri‐Val‐Re Delta Nady‐ET) at #9 GLPI (#12 Pro$), and Stantons Just For Fun‐ET at #9 Pro$ (#16 GLPI), who is a maternal sister to the new Pro$ leader, Stantons Helix Roll‐ET. The Top 10 Pro$ list is completed by four other cows with the Stantons prefix that were previously high ranking, namely the former leader, Stantons So Excited‐ET, who now occupies #5 Pro$ position (#101 GLPI, #2 Fat), Stantons Bee Desired‐ET at #7 Pro$ (tied at #73 GLPI), Stantons Rubicon Cranking Up at #8 Pro$ (#15 GLPI) and Stantons Silver Emoticon‐ET in #10 Pro$ position (#11 GLPI).

Other noteworthy newly indexed cows include two cows that join a group of five at #1 for Conformation this round, namely Liberty‐Gen Awesome Avalanche (dam is EDG Atms Adrenaline‐ ET) and Golden‐Oaks M Atlnta‐Red‐ET*R&W (McGucci*RDC daughter out of Ms Apples Aria‐ ET*RDC, by Destry*RDC). With only an official production index, two other cows also draw attention as Claynook Faithful Duke achieves Top 10 status at #4 Milk and is tied at #3 Protein, while Westcoast Duke Alex2565 5368 does the same with her arrival tied at #8 Fat.

FRENEMIES at the FARM GATE!

Dairy farming is not what it used to be.  DUH. The only way to get paid for your milk is to provide it to people who want it in the way that they want it.  We are so convinced of this at “Specialty Milk Equals Money Everyday” looked at processors and consumers and the products that they want and will pay for. Successfully reaching this evolving market might require that as dairy producers, you have to change your mind about some aspects of getting the milk that you produce to the marketplace. Having said that, you may read this and rank yourself with those who are convinced that there is no need for you personally to change. Even faced with the incontrovertible facts of today’s overproducing, underpaying, profit losing dairy industry, we say, “I’m not changing.  My mind is made up!”

To date, your view of the world has provided you with a certain amount of dairy-producing success! In the past, there have been times when your view of the world was very different from the actual world, and you held firm to your course and made it through. You are crossing your fingers that holding on this time will work again.  However, past and present are no longer in step with success.  “The past foretells the future” only works when there is money in the bank, healthy animals on the farm and an ability to ignore all signs of desperation and disregard for the agitated voices at the farm gate who are calling to you to listen to them!

Choosing Friends Over Facts

Regardless of what side of the farm gate you identify with, we dairy farmers, like the dairy animals in our pastures are herd animals. We are happiest in a non-threatening and bonding environment. We do not want to be cast out or separated from the herd. Where the herd goes, we go.  If the herd says, “farmers are producing unhealthy products”.  We agree.  If the herd says, “The government will save our farms because we are an iconic part of our country’s history.” We sit.  And wait. We don’t believe these statements because they are correct.  We believe them because doing so makes us part of the group and we want to look good to that group. The statements are factually false, but socially accurate. When having to choose between the two, we often select friends and family over facts.

Friend Or Foe.  Who Do You Know? Whose Side Are You On?

There are so many truths in the food industry.  Milk is bad. (Lactose intolerance is real.) Farm factories are bad.  Small farms are good.  (Dairy intolerance is growing.) Pet owners love cows.  Dairy farmers mistreat cows. (Dairy farmer mistrust is on the rise.) While seeking, truth, we all strive to be on the blameless higher ground and, at the same time, to be connected with like-minded friends.  However, when opposing alignments regarding issues of health and family are affected, our openness becomes inflexible, and we dig into our protectionist position.

People who align themselves against what they call factory farms or what they see as animal mistreatment or what they perceive as destructive environmental practices, do so because they feel it keeps them belonging to their chosen group. 

The best way to change their mind is to sit down at a meal together.  Something about handing bowls of food around or even asking a stranger to pass the milk pitcher draws us closer than the usual divisive influences of where we live, how we speak, and what we wear.

Repetition Is The Law

The number of people who believe an idea is directly proportional to the number of times it has been repeated during the last year—even if the idea is false. For this reason, we need to learn not to keep attacking every piece of misinformation or unsupported fear-mongering. In frenemy situations, time is better spent championing good ideas than tearing down bad ones. There is no point in endlessly explaining why bad ideas are bad.  You are merely flamming the flame.  Feed the good ideas and let the bad ideas die of starvation.

“I Can’t Let These Idiots Get Away with This”

If the goal is actually to change minds, then I don’t believe criticizing the other side is the best approach. Like it or not, we are the voice of dairy farming.  Is it confrontational?  Is it huffily arrogant? Are we running for cover?? Must we win at all costs? OR. Are we as producers willing to not win in order to keep the conversation going? It isn’t simply in social settings.  The conversations need to open up with processors too. And with nutritionists and veterinarians.  In fact, with everyone we work with in the line from dairy stable to table

“I Want What You’ve Got!”

With so many hands lining up at the farm gate, we may perceive that we all have different interest. As stated, these competing interests involve feed suppliers, nutritionists, and veterinarians, to name a few. Even dairy associations join the us versus them, national versus state or provincial, battles.  We get so wrapped up in gaining an advantage that both parties lose focus and fail to provide the needed services that make the dairy industry relevant in the modern marketplace. In-fighting over shares of the pie is irrelevant if nobody in the marketplace wants the pie. 

Who’s Your Frenemy Today?

As the industry is challenged, organizational factors create new bands of frenemies around leadership, management and even core values.  Furthermore, something as simple as scarcity of resources can trigger new alignments and new conflicts.  A better solution would be to work together to find a replacement product or to prioritize the areas with the most urgent need.

In Dairy Wars There Are No Winners

It is ironic that a quick look at potential conflicts within the dairy industry can be quite extensive:

  • Breeds vs Milk Recording
  • Milk Recording vs Cloud Software
  • Scientists vs Breeder Cow Knowledge
  • Traditional dairy bull breeders vs AI
  • Small vs Large Dairy Farms
  • Nutritionists vs Vets
  • Show Breeders vs Production Breeders
  • Animal rights vs Dairy Farm animal management

We are so caught up in winning that we forget about connecting.  It’s easy to spend energy, labelling people rather than working with them. Our inter-industry fighting distracts from the biggest threat to the entire industry, which is out there and growing exponentially:

Milk vs Milk Alternatives

Is Milk A Healthy Diet Friend Or A Dangerous Health Enemy?

This is the core question that the dairy industry needs to address.  Articles such as the one by NBC News Health Editor, Madelyn Fernstrom, (July 26, 2018) “Is milk really good for you? “is a good starting point for fact-based discussions of the issues surrounding milk as a nutritious food source.

The Bullvine Bottom Line

The very fact that we are producing a food product means that we directly impact the personal health, family health and social lives of our customers. We don’t want to win a conversation. We don’t want them to change their minds about liking farmers or disliking modern farming.  We want consumers to enjoy delicious healthy food. We need to establish trust. If we can manage to be kind first and be right later, we can make good progress at turning frenemies at the farm gate into friends in the food aisle.
