3 Bulls John R. Whaley III ( ) All at Wye mourn the death of Dick Whaley. Quoted from The Breed of Noble Bloods, John R. Whaley III, born and raised a son of the Eastern Shore but now familiarly known from coast to coast as Dick Whaley, manager of Wye Plantation. Dick was instrumental in helping Wye Angus re-introduce to the breeding program some of the bulls produced during his tenure at Wye Plantation from 1957 thru the herds donation in His knowledge of Wye Cattle was an invaluable resource to our program, and he was always willing to dedicate his time and energy to see Wye Angus succeed. 1

5 Mrs. Arthur A. Houghton, Jr. Dr. Craig Beyrouty Dean of College and Director, Maryland Agricultural Experiment Station and University of Maryland Extension It is our pleasure to welcome you to the 39th Annual Sale at Wye Angus. Included in this year s offering are eight cow/calf pairs, five pregnant recipients carrying heifer calves sired Alap of Wye UMF 8329 and Balgain of Wye UMF and 35 yearling bulls. Six of the eight cows selling in this year s sale have Alap of Wye UMF 8329 as their sire, maternal or paternal grand sire. This is truly a solid maternal offering. Keeping this theme in mind, the pregnant recipients will be carrying heifer calves sired by Alap of Wye UMF 8329 or Balgain of Wye UMF 10405, who is a double bred Bear of Wye UMF 6591 son. You will also notice in Balgains pedigree that his maternal grand sire is Forrester of Wye UMF 9604, an Alap of Wye UM F 8329 son out of a Favor of Wye daughter. We have worked diligently in producing these 35 masculine, well-muscled, even tempered, performance tested bulls. The bulls as a group averaged 3.4 pounds of gain and 19 out of 35 were in the top one-third for all carcass traits measured by Tallgrass Beef. The remaining 16 bulls missed it by being in the next one-third in only one of the six categories reported. None of the bulls in any category were in the bottom one-third. Our 2017 sale will again be having a video auction where you can view the sale offering on video screens while you bid in the same traditional fashion. We will also have available our telephone bidding as well as online bidding. Looking forward to seeing you on April 1, Edward C. Draper Program Manager Welcome Wye Research and Education Center appreciates the continued support it receives from these honored guests: Dr. Adel Shirmohammadi Associate Dean and Associate Director Maryland Agricultural Experiment Station Dr. Ken Staver Acting Center Director Wye Research & Education Center Kevin W. Morgan Herd Manager Dear Friends of the Wye Angus Program, The legacy of the unique Wye Angus herd continues to be a tremendous point of pride for the college and for me personally as I move into my sophomore year as dean. I am excited and honored to invite you to the 39th Annual Wye Angus sale scheduled for Saturday, April 1, 2017 at the Maryland Agricultural Experiment Station (MAES) beef farm in Queenstown. I look forward to meeting some of you who have been regular attendees over the years and other first timers. This year we are pleased to offer eight cow/calf pairs, ET Pregnancies and 35 yearling bulls complete with the high quality characteristics that encompass the distinct excellence of Wye Angus. I am committed to a continuation of work with our MAES Researchers, Extension Educators, and academic units to address challenges facing the beef industry using the Wye Angus program in areas of production as well as animal health, environmental quality and sustainability. An esteemed internship program with the Wye Angus herd has afforded our students unique opportunities to work with a herd that is envied around the world and to incorporate those experiences into career pursuits. The Wye program is one of many across our college that illustrates how we are living the Land-Grant Mission of integrating Research, Extension and Academics to the betterment of the citizens of Maryland. The University of Maryland Wye Angus program will remain an international leader in production research and I hope that you appreciate the quality cattle the program has produced for this year s sale. Thank you for your past support and I look forward to meeting you and enjoying the sale on April 1. Sincerely, Craig Beyrouty Dean and Director This year we are pleased to present our sale using video projection. While no animals will be run through the sale ring, the cattle will be just outside the sale barn for your viewing prior to and throughout the sale. 3

6 Wye Angus The Early Years Wye Plantation has been farmed without interruption since the 17th Century. One of its early owners was William Paca, signer of the Declaration of Independence and first governor of Maryland. Paca, who died in 1799, is buried at Wye Plantation. His heirs sold the property to a Centreville, Maryland family whose descendants owned it until 1937 when it was purchased by Arthur A. Houghton. Houghton, then chief executive of Steuben Glass, employed James B. Lingle, an experienced cattleman, to manage Wye Plantation. While they had different business backgrounds, these two men had similar beliefs in quality. Houghton was determined to make the finest glass in the world, and Lingle was determined to create greater beef cattle than the world had ever known-cattle that would be great in size, fine in quality, and economically profitable. Although Lingle had previously worked primarily with dairy cattle, he admired the production qualities of Angus, particularly the uniformity of the breed. Once Houghton and Lingle agreed on Angus as the breed of Wye, they began selecting stock for the new herd. They started with 18 heifers and a bull calf, purchased in The 18 heifers are all the females that Wye Plantation has ever purchased. Twelve of the cow families they represented are still present in the Wye herd today. The bull calf, Blakeford Buxton, was a combination of Earl Marshall and Blackcap Revolution breeding. Lingle searched for cattle with larger than usual frames. He knew that the larger, taller animals had a rangier chassis on which to hang more meat without any sacrifice in carcass quality. His first heifers all proved to be consistent breeders, good mothers, satisfactory milkers, and were blessed with longevity. Outstanding among the first 18 Wye heifers was Capearl #82 who dropped her last calf at the age of 18. Naming of the Wye Herd There are eleven families left here at Wye. These family names include Florelle, Lullaby Lottie, Pride of Aberdeen, Queen Mother, Boghead Flora, Alexina, Lottie, Ballindallach Blackbird, Clova, Golden Madge and Miss Copeland. The Wye cattle are named by following the maternal side of the pedigree. The cows are registered using the actual family name followed by their ID number (ex. Lot 1 is Pride of Wye UMF 9457). The bull names are picked using the first letter of the family name followed by their ID number. (Ex. Alap of Wye UMF 8329 comes from the Alexina family). The (UMF) included in the name which stands for University of Maryland Foundation was added to all cattle born after the University of Maryland Foundation was gifted the herd in Scottish Influence At the time Wye s herd was beginning, American breeders were raising Angus according to the standards then dictated by the show ring-small, compact, baby-beef type animals. Lingle wanted large-framed cattle, and he noticed the great size of Scottish-bred cattle. He particularly liked the growthiness of Scottish bulls. Consequently, in 1941 and 1946 respectively, Wye added two Scottish-bred bulls to the herd. These were Juryman of Wickwire and Puck of Wickwire, both imported to the United States in dam from Scotland and born at Wickwire Farm in 4 Earleville, Maryland. In 1957, Lingle made a trip to the British Isles in search of more big-framed bulls to add to the Wye herd. His purchases included bulls from Scotland, Ireland, England, and Wales. Among these bulls was Imp. Prince of Malpas from the famous Harviestoun herd in Scotland. Prince was a bull of great proportion who sired some of the most feminine females developed at Wye Plantation during the 1960 s. He also sired some high performing sons that met with considerable demand. Other imports included Jai of Frampton from Wales, noted for his tremendous muscle expression; Valour of Ardrass; and George Swiftbrook were sons of Prince Paul of Barnolby from Ireland and both bulls were of exceptional height, length, and overall frame. A total of 25 bulls were imported from the British Isles by Wye Plantation between 1941 and Since then no outside or new blood has been added to the Wye Angus herd. In 1979, Mr. Houghton gifted the University of Maryland with the Wye Angus herd. The private, nonprofit University of Maryland Foundation was created to accept and hold the gift for use by the University, and remains the legal owner of the herd today. Within the University System of Maryland, the Maryland Agricultural Experiment Station was charged with managing the herd on a daily basis and it continues to do so today. With acceptance of the herd gift, the University agreed to make any animals deemed excess to research needs available for the general public in some equitable fashion. The agreement to the annual public auction of Wye Angus cattle held each April since The University of Maryland Wye Angus Program Today Dr. Jiuzhou song continues his project examining the effects of finishing cattle on an alfalfa and orchard grass diet alters the epigenetic status of genes affecting beef quality and the fatty acid profile. We have finished our fifth group of grassfed-vs-grainfed steers and Dr. Song has generated four scientific papers from this project. Dr. Zhengguo Xiao has initiated a project involving Ostertagia Ostertagi, the most economically important gastrointestinal nematode parasite in the cattle industry. He will be comparing parasite levels in both our grain fed steers and grass fed steers. We will have embryo transfer calves sired by Columbus of Wye, Palladium of Wye and Baradine of Wye UMF Our A. I. sires include Leonid of Wye, Logan of Wye UMF 6692, Lodi of Wye UMF 10318, Cedric of Wye UMF 8998, Alap of Wye UMF 8329, Boyd of Wye UMF 8059 and Cael of Wye UMF We will also have calves by the two bulls we kept in 2016, Carpus of Wye UMF (Luthien X Bartor) and Leelo of Wye UMF (Churchill X Barnabas). We still pursue as our goal the production of key maternal traits including mothering ability, longevity, and udder and teat structure while preserving calving ease. Annual Sale It s a Wye Angus tradition to hold its annual sale the first Saturday in April each year.
