Cattlemen,

Welcome to our 2012 Production Sale and thank

you for your interest in our breeding program .

Again we feel confident this is the deepest set of

Simmental and SimAngus bulls we have offered .

They are sired by proven industry leading sires

and new prospects with fresh genetics . They are

strong in growth, maternal and carcass traits .

The bulls are on test at the ranch and are on a

ration consisting of earlage, silage, ground hay

and a protein supplement . Gains have been

exceptional with the great weather we have had

this winter .

We will again offer to take the bull’s home and

keep them free of charge until April 1st . At that

time they will be fertility tested and delivery

arrangements will be made . There will be a $50

credit per bull on the purchase price if you take

your bulls home sale day .

Livestock mortality insurance will be available

on your purchases from Grassroots Insurance

Associates, Mark Smith, on sale day .

We encourage you to give us a call to stop and

go through the bulls and heifers with us .

$ Indexes: Though EPDs allow for the comparison of genetic levels for many economically important traits, they only provide a piece of the economic puzzle . That is where $ indexes come in . Through well-conceived, rigorous math-ematical computation, $ indexes blend EPDs and econom-ics to estimate an animal’s overall impact on your bottom line . The same technology that led to the dramatic progress in swine, poultry and dairy genetics over the last several decades was used to develop the following $ indexes:

All-Purpose Index (API): Evaluates sires for use on the entire cow herd (bred to both Angus first-calf heifers and mature cows) with the portion of their daughters required to maintain herd size retained and the remaining heifers and steers put on feed and sold grade and yield .

Terminal Index (TI): Evaluates sire for use on mature Angus cows with all offspring put on feed and sold grade and yield .

Using API and TI: First, determine which index to use; if you are keeping replacements use API, if not, use TI . Then, just as with EPDs, zero in on the unit difference between bulls . (As described above, index units are in dollars per cow exposed .) The difference can be used to determine how much a bull is worth compared to another . Put another way, how much you can pay for one bull compared to another . For example, when buying an all-purpose-type sire, you can quickly figure a bull scoring +100 for API is worth an extra $6,000 over a +50 bull if both are exposed to 30 cows over 4 years ($50 diff . x 30 hd . x 4 yr . = $6,000) . A percentile rank-ing chart is required to determine where a bull’s index value ranks him relative to other bulls in the breed .
