Greetings Friends and Fellow Cattlemen,

We would like to invite you to the ranch to our private treaty sale that begins on March 1, 2016. This year we are offering 47 yearling bulls that have been performance tested and evaluated for breeding soundness. We have taken data on these bulls in all areas including calving, weaning, yearling, scrotal, carcass ultrasound, as well as the height and weight of their dams at weaning time. By taking this data it allows you to know what each bull is capable of doing, and allows us to improve our herd to produce the “Total Package” for our customers.

We breed cattle to produce easy calving, rapid growing progeny that exhibit outstanding maternal traits. Structural soundness is of utmost importance as well as the phenotype and docility of each animal produced. In addition to that we feel that they need to have the ability to perform in the feedlot and on the rail, as we imple-ment rate of gain and carcass merit into the herd.

You will also find our very best bulls in the “Midland Bull Test” section. These individuals were the standouts within our herd for the 2015 calf crop. The Midland sale will take place on April 8, 2016 at the Midland Bull Test Facility, near Columbus, MT. Please contact us with any questions you may have regarding these bulls. We will be glad to assist you with the delivery of these bulls as well.

As we have in the previous three years, we again will be offering 34 yearling bulls and 21 elite registered females in the BJ Angus Sale, Manhattan, Kansas on March 10, 2016. Feel free to contact us regarding this sale as well, or find the complete sale offering at www.bjangus.com.

We have done our best to improve our herd in all areas by using proven A.I. sires, embryo transfer, and finding pasture bulls that best match our herd goals. You can find some of our very best females in the “Dix Angus Ranch Donors” section of the book that are being used in our embryo transfer program. You can also find our pasture sires in the “Herd Sires” section. This sale offering includes the first progeny from BJ Program 2201 and Deer Valley X-treme, two sire groups that have done well from day one. In 2015 we found two bulls from the North Country that we not only used in the pasture, but in our A.I. program as well. We are very excited about the things that Hindquarter and Investment have to offer. We will have semen available on these bulls if you are interested in using them in your A.I. program. Upstart is our proven “sleep all night” heifer bull, which is currently at ORIgen bull stud.

We would be pleased if you would come out and take a look through this set of bulls and find your future herd bull. The mothers of the bulls are close by and we would be happy to take you out to see them. We stand behind our product and carry a first breeding season guarantee, which you can find on the next page.

Give us a call and set up a time to look through these bulls!

Cody, Jeff, and Haley Dix

Dix Angus Ranch Bull GuaranteeWe guarantee that all breeding cattle sold by Dix Angus Ranch are fertile to the best of our knowledge. If at any time during the first breeding season following the sale a bull is injured so as to make them functionally infertile, we will provide you with a satisfactory replace-ment (if available), or issue you a credit equal to the bull’s purchase price minus the salvage value received for that bull. This guarantee in addition to the Terms and Conditions of the American Angus Association, which also apply.

This is not a life insurance policy. We will not replace or give credit for a dead or incapacitated animal resulting from negligence. We would suggest that normal care still needs to be exercised toward these ani-mals and that particularly the yearling bulls not be allowed to get too thin.

Free Delivery to Kansas and bordering states.

Thank you for your interest in Dix Angus Cattle!

American Angus Association® Selection Tools

Expected Progeny Difference (EPD), is the prediction of how future progeny of each animal are expected to perform relative to the progeny of other animals listed in the database. EPDs are expressed in units of measure for the trait, plus or minus. Interim EPDs may appear on young animals when their performance has yet to be incorporated into the American Angus Association National Cattle Evaluation (NCE) procedures. This EPD will be preceded by an “I”, and may or may not include the animal’s own performance record for a particular trait, depending on its availability, appropriate con-temporary grouping, or data edits needed for NCE.Accuracy (ACC), is the reliability that can be placed on the EPD. An accuracy of close to 1.0 indicates higher reliability. Accuracy is impacted by the number of progeny and ancestral records included in the analysis.

GROWTH

Calving Ease Direct (CED), is expressed as a difference in per-centage of unassisted births, with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in first- calf heifers. It predicts the average difference in ease with which a sire’s calves will be born when he is bred to first-calf heifers.Birth Weight EPD (BW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit birth weight to his progeny compared to that of other sires.Weaning Weight EPD (WW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit weaning growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires.Residual Average Daily Gain (RADG), feed efficiency expressed in pounds per day, is a predictor of a sire’s genetic ability for post-weaning gain in future progeny compared to that of other sires, given a constant amount of feed consumed.Yearling Weight EPD (YW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit yearling growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires.Yearling Height EPD (YH), is a predictor of a sire’s ability to trans-mit yearling height, expressed in inches, compared to the that of other sires.Scrotal Circumference EPD (SC), expressed in centimeters, is a predictor of the difference in transmitting ability for scrotal size compared to that of other sires.Docility (DOC), is expressed as a difference in yearling cattle tem-perament, with a higher value indicating more favorable docility. It predicts the average difference of progeny from a sire in comparison with another sire’s calves.

MATERNAL

Heifer Pregnancy (HP), is a selection tool to increase the probabil-ity or chance of a sire’s daughters becoming pregnant as first–calf heifers during a normal breeding season. A higher EPD is the more favorable direction, and the EPD is reported in percentage units.Calving Ease Maternal (CEM), is expressed as a difference in per-centage of unassisted births with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in first-calf daughters. It predicts the average ease with which a sire’s daughters will calve as first-calf heifers when compared to daughters of other sires.Maternal Milk EPD (Milk), is a predictor of a sire’s genetic merit for milk and mothering ability as expressed in his daughters compared to daughters of other sires. In other words, it is that part of a calf’s weaning weight attributed to milk and mothering ability.Mature Weight EPD (MW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of the difference in mature weight of daughters of a sire compared to the daughters of other sires.Mature Height EPD (MH), expressed in inches, is a predictor of the difference in mature height of a sire’s daughters compared to daughters of other sires.

Cow Energy Value ($EN), expressed in dollars savings per cow per year, assesses differences in cow energy requirements as an expect-ed dollar savings difference in daughters of sires. A larger value is more favorable when comparing two animals (more dollars saved on feed energy expenses). Components for computing the cow $EN savings difference include lactation energy requirements and energy costs associated with differences in mature cow size.CARCASSThe genetic evaluation produces a single set of EPDs for carcass weight, marbling score, Ribeye area and fat thickness. The units of measure are in carcass trait format and analyzed on an age-constant basis.Carcass Weight EPD (CW), expressed in pounds is a predictor of the differences in hot carcass weight of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.Marbling EPD (Marb), expressed as a fraction of the difference in USDA marbling score of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.Ribeye Area EPD (RE), expressed in square inches, is a predictor of the difference in ribeye area of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.Fat Thickness EPD (Fat), expressed in inches, is a predictor of the differences in external fat thickness at the 12th rib (as measured between the 12th and 13th ribs) of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.

$VALUE INDEXES

$Value indexes, are multi-trait selection indexes to assist beef producers by adding simplicity to genetic selection decisions. $Val-ues are reported in dollars per head, where a higher value is more favorable. The $Value is an estimate of how future progeny of each sire are expected to perform, on average, compared to progeny of other sires in the database if the sires were randomly mated to cows and if calves were exposed to the same environment.Weaned Calf Value ($W), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny perfor-mance for pre- weaning merit. $W includes both revenue and cost adjustments associated with differences in birth weight, weaning direct growth, maternal milk, and mature cow size.Feedlot Value ($F), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for postweaning merit compared to progeny of other sires.Grid Value ($G), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for carcass grid merit compared to progeny of other sires.Quality Grade ($QG) represents the quality grade segment of the economic advantage found in $G. $QG is intended for the specialized user wanting to place more emphasis on improving quality grade. The carcass marbling (Marb) EPD, which is influenced by carcass marbling scores and ultrasound percent intramuscular fat (% IMF) measurements, contribute to $QG.Yield Grade ($YG) $YG represents the yield grade segment of the economic advantage found in $G. $YG is intended for the specialized user wanting to place more emphasis on red meat yield. It provides a multi-trait approach to encompass ribeye, fat thickness and weight into an economic value for red meat yield.$G combines both $QG and $YG, and may be the best carcass deci-sion tool for focusing on quality and red meat yield simultaneously.Beef Value ($B), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for postweaning and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires.
