Calving Ease - (CE)Calving ease is often related to birth weight of a bull. This is partly true but there are other factors that influence calving ease. The dam and her management are at least 50% of calving ease.

Nutrition, gestation and environment all influence birth weight. We have rated each bull in the sale based on all the information we have available. *** Should produce minimal problems when bred to moderate size first calf heifers ** Recommended for second calvers, small framed cows large heifers. * Recommended for mature cows.

EXPECTED PROGENY DIFFERENCES (EPDS)

performance of another parent, 4 allow a fair comparison of breeding assuming similar mates

of +10) and Bull B (WW of +60) were 4 help breeders make informed randomly mated with ten similar cows, we

decisions regarding breeding stock would expect the group average weaning selection by evaluating numerous weight of Bull A’s offspring to be 50 lbs. traits such as growth-related traits lighter than that of Bull B’s (60 - 10 = 50).(BW, WW, YW, Milk), carcass (REA, FAT, %IMF, etc.) and reproductive efficiency (CE, MCE, SC)

Accuracy - reflects the reliability of the EPD value. High accuracyvalues (>.80) mean the EPD value is closer to the true breedingvalue than an EPD value with a lower accuracy (<.20).

Note that not allcalves from Bull Bhave a higherweaning weightbut the average is 50 lbs higher.

To evaluate seedstock, use EPD’s pedigree intense selection for high yearling weight will and visual assessment. With EPDs, the also increase birth weight. Successful cattle concept of “intermediate optimums” works breeding requires a thoughtful and balanced best. Selection for one trait or for extremes approach to optimize fertility, growth and generally results in unexpected consequences carcass merit while improving profitability due to genetic correlations - for example, and efficiency.

Statistics generated for individual cattle through national genetic evaluations.

Why so much emphasison Bulls?

Bulls have the greatest economic impact on any breeding program,

thus bull selection is one of the most important decisions that acowman makes during the course of a year.

A bull sires 20 to 40 calves each year while a cow produces half or less this many in her lifetime. It’s been estimated that 80% of

herd improvement is directly attributed to bull selection.

This is our fourth year consigning to the “First Choice Bull Sale”. Once again, we are very honoured to be a part of this great tradition. The four yearling bulls we have to offer in the sale are a direct result of the years of careful breeding and genetic selection that Gumbo Gulch has worked so hard to create. Our goal is to raise moderate framed cattle that produce calves with moderate birth weights, exceptional gain and all round quality performance and outstanding carcasses. We have a wonderful selection of yearling bulls to offer this year. Out of our herd sires, C-Bar Predominant 788T and Peak Dot Hobson 482T, these yearling bulls have the natural muscle, width and depth we have been striving to put into all of our breeding stock. They are all very correct with great performance, excellent scrotal measurements and quiet dispositions. Whether you are looking for a heifer bull or your next herd sire, we have something that will add value and quality to your herd. We would love to show you our bulls and our herd but if you can’t make it to us, we look forward to seeing you at the sale. Hope you have a great calving season and we’ll see you soon. *These bulls become the responsibility of the buyers on sale day.
