Colyer Herefords & Angus Annual Production Sale

12:30 P.M. (MST) | AT THE RANCH | BRUNEAU, ID

WELCOME TO OUR 43RD ANNUAL BULL SALE

As we prepare for our annual sale, we do so with great optimism for the years ahead for the cow-calf segment of our industry. Cattle numbers are short, and calves are selling at a very favorable price. It also appears that this set of bulls could sire calves that will sell at or near record prices. The water outlook for much of the West is also looking way more encouraging. We are very proud of this year’s offering and the quality runs deep throughout the different divisions. As you evaluate each lot be aware that each mating is made to provide profit for the commercial cattlemen. Our program is geared to produce cattle that are profitable to the entire cattle industry. Our extensive ET and AI program gives us the ability to make each selection to enhance and propagate superior genetics. We have also culled the cattle extensively throughout the years to offer you only the best of the best. Every animal selling will do so with enhanced EPD’s. This gives our customers the most up to date testing practices to help our customers in their selection process.

Hereford and Angus genetics fit ideally in today’s beef cattle industry. It is widely recognized that crossbreeding provides extra fertility in the cowherd and extra gains in the feedlot while still producing a superior carcass. It is often stated that heterosis is the only thing free in the beef industry. The black baldie cow has always been recognized as the queen of the Western Range. We have also put extra selection pressure on carcass traits on our Hereford cattle and it is really paying off for us and our customers.

Come early and inspect the offering and we will have videos posted on our website closer to sale day. We normally sell a few herd bulls to purebred herds, but the majority of our bulls will go into some of the leading commercial herds throughout the West.

COLYER HEREFORDS

The American Hereford Association (AHA) currently produces expected progeny differences (EPDs) for 17 traits and calculates three profit indexes. AHA’s genetic evaluation makes use of a Marker Effects Model that allows the calculation of EPDs by incorporating the pedigree, phenotypic and genomic profile of an animal. Animals that have a genomic profile will be denoted with a GE-EPD logo.

The current suite of Hereford EPDs and profit indexes includes:

Calving Ease — Direct (CE)

CE EPD is based on calving ease scores and birth weights and is measured on a percentage. CE EPD indicates the influence of the sire on calving ease in females calving at 2 years of age. For example, if sire A has a CE EPD of 6 and sire B has a CE EPD of -2, then you would expect on average, if comparably mated, sire A’s calves would have an 8 percent more likely chance of unassisted calving when compared to sire B’s calves.

Birth Weight (BW)

BW EPD is an indicator trait for calving ease and is measured in pounds. For example, if sire A has a BW EPD of 3.6 and sire B has a BW EPD of 0.6, then you would expect on average, if comparably mated, sire A’s calves would come 3 lb. heavier at birth when compared to sire B’s calves. Larger BW EPDs usually, but not always, indicate more calving difficulty. The figure in parentheses found after each EPD is an accuracy value or reliability of the EPD.

Weaning Weight (WW)

WW EPD is an estimate of pre-weaning growth that is measured in pounds. For example, if sire A has a WW EPD of 60 and sire B has a WW EPD of 40, then you would expect on average if comparably mated, sire A’s calves would weigh 20 lb. heavier at weaning when compared to sire B’s calves.

Yearling Weight (YW)

YW EPD is an estimate of post-weaning growth that is measured in pounds. For example, if sire A has a YW EPD of 100 and sire B has a YW EPD of 70, then you would expect on average if comparably mated, sire A’s calves would weigh 30 lb. heavier at a year of age when compared to sire B’s calves.

Dry Matter Intake (DMI)

The DMI EPD predicts the daily consumption of pounds of feed. For example, if sire A has a DMI EPD of 1.1 and sire B has a DMI EPD of 0.1, you would expect sire B’s progeny, if comparably mated, to consume on average 1 pound of feed less per day.

Scrotal Circumference (SC)

Measured in centimeters and adjusted to 365 days of age, SC EPD is the best estimate of fertility. It is related to the bull’s own semen quantity and quality, and is also associated with age at puberty of sons and daughters. Larger SC EPDs suggest younger age at puberty. Yearling sons of a sire with a 0.7 SC EPD should have yearling scrotal circumference measurements that average 0.7 centimeters (cm) larger than progeny by a bull with an EPD of 0.0 cm.

Sustained Cow Fertility

The AHA’s new SCF EPD is a prediction of a cow’s ability to continue to calve from three years of age through 12 years of age, given she calved as a two-year-old. The EPD is expressed as a deviation in the proportion of the 10 possible calvings to 12 years old expressed as a probability. For example, the daughters of a bull with a 30 EPD would have the genetic potential to have one more calf by age 12 than the daughters from a bull with a 20 EPD. In other words, the daughters from the 30 EPD bull would have a 10% greater probability of having one more calf than the bull with a 20 EPD. This is equivalent to saying that the daughters are 10% more likely to remain in the herd to age 12.

Maternal Milk (MM)

The MM EPD of a sire’s daughters is expressed in pounds of calf weaned. It predicts the difference in average weaning weights of sires’ daughters’ progeny due to milking ability. Daughters of the sire with a +14 MM EPD should produce progeny with 205-day weights averaging 24 lb. more (as a result of greater milk production) than daughters of a bull with a MM EPD of -10 lb. (14 minus -10.0 = 24 lb.). This difference in weaning weight is due to total milk production during the entire lactation.

Maternal Milk & Growth (M&G)

The M&G EPD reflects what the sire is expected to transmit to his daughters for a combination of growth genetics through weaning and genetics for milking ability. It is an estimate of the daughter’s progeny weaning weight. A bull with a 29 lb. M&G EPD should sire daughters with progeny weaning weights averaging 19 lb. heavier than progeny of a bull’s daughters with a M&G EPD of 10 lb. (29 minus 10 = 19 lb.). It is equal to one-half the sire’s weaning weight EPD, plus all of his MM EPD. No accuracy is associated with this since it is simply a mathematical combination of two other EPDs. It is sometimes referred to as “total maternal” or “combined maternal.”

Maternal Calving Ease (MCE)

MCE EPD predicts how easily a sire’s daughters will calve at two years of age and is measured on a percentage. For example, if sire A has a MCE EPD of 7 and sire B has a CE EPD of -3, then you would expect on average if comparably mated, sire A’s daughters would calve with a 10% more likely chance of being unassisted when compared to sire B’s daughters.

Mature Cow Weight (MCW)

The MCW EPD was designed to help breeders select sires that will either increase or decrease mature size of cows in the herd. The trait was developed after years of cow weight data collection and the EPD relates directly to the maintenance requirements of a cow herd. For example, if sire A has a MCW EPD of 100 and sire B has an EPD of 85, then you would expect the females of sire A, if comparably mated, to be 15 lb. heavier at mature size.

Udder suspension (UDDR)

UDDR EPDs are reported on a 9 (very tight) to 1 (very pendulous) scoring scale. Differences in sire EPDs predict the difference expected in the sires’ daughters’ udder characteristics when managed in the same environment.

For example, if sire A has a UDDR EPD of 0.4, and sire B has a UDDR EPD of -0.1, the difference in the values is 0.5, or one-half of a score. If daughters of sires A and B are raised and managed in the same environment, you would expect half a score better udder suspension in daughters of sire A, compared to sire B.

Teat size (TEAT)

TEAT EPDs are reported on a 9 (very small) to 1 (very large, balloon shaped) scoring scale. Differences in sire EPDs predict the difference expected in the sires’ daughters’ udder characteristics when managed in the same environment.

For example, if sire A has a teat size EPD of 0.4, and sire B has a teat size EPD of -0.1, the difference in the values is 0.5, or one-half of a score. If daughters of sires A and B are raised and managed in the same environment, you would expect half a score smaller teat size in daughters of sire A, compared to sire B.

Carcass Weight (CW)

CW EPD is a beneficial trait when considering the impact that pounds have relative to end product value. At the same age constant endpoint, sires with higher values for carcass weight will add more pounds of hot carcass weight compared to sires with lower values for carcass weight. For example, if sire A has a CW EPD of 84 and sire B has a CW EPD 64, then you would expect the progeny of sire A, if harvested at the same age constant endpoint, to have a 20-lb. advantage in terms of hot carcass weight.

Rib Fat (FAT)

The FAT EPD reflects differences in adjusted 365-day, 12th-rib fat thickness based on carcass measurements of harvested cattle. Sires with low, or negative FAT EPDs, are expected to produce leaner progeny than sires with higher EPDs. Ultrasound measures are also incorporated into this trait and have been shown to be highly correlated with the performance of slaughter progeny. All data is expressed on a carcass scale.

Ribeye Area (REA)

REA EPDs reflect differences in an adjusted 365-day ribeye area measurement based on carcass measurements of harvested cattle. Sires with relatively higher REA EPDs are expected to produce better- muscled and higher percentage yielding slaughter progeny than will sires with lower REA EPDs. Ultrasound measurements are also incorporated into this trait and have been shown to be highly correlated with the performance of slaughter progeny. All data is expressed on a carcass scale.

Marbling (MARB)

MARB EPDs reflect differences in an adjusted 365-day marbling score (intramuscular fat, [IMF]) based on carcass measurements of harvested cattle. Breeding cattle with higher MARB EPDs should produce slaughter progeny with a higher degree of IMF and therefore higher quality grades. Ultrasound measurements are also incorporated into this trait and have been shown to be highly correlated with the performance of slaughter progeny. All data is expressed on a carcass scale.

Baldy Maternal Index (BMI$)

The BMI$ is a maternally focused index that is based on a production system that uses Hereford x Angus cross cows. Progeny of these cows are directed towards Certified Hereford Beef. This index has significant weight on Sustained Cow Fertility, which predicts fertility and longevity of females. There is a slightly positive weight on Weaning Weight, Mature Cow Weight and Milk which accounts for enough growth but ensures females do not increase inputs. There is some negative emphasis on Dry Matter Intake, but a positive weighting on Carcass Weight which is anticipated to provide profitability from finishing of non-replacement females and castrated males. Marbling and Rib-eye Area are also positively weighted to keep the harvested progeny successful for CHB. This index is geared to identify Hereford bulls that will be profitable when used in a rotational cross with mature commercial Angus cows.

Brahman Influence Index (BII$)

The BII$ is a maternally focused index that is based on a production system that uses Brahman x Hereford cross cows. Progeny of these cows are directed towards a commodity beef market since Certified Hereford Beef© does not accept Brahman influenced cattle. This index has significant weight on Sustained Cow Fertility, which predicts fertility and longevity of females. There is a slightly positive weight on Weaning Weight, Mature Cow Weight and Milk which accounts for enough growth but ensures females do not increase inputs. There is some negative emphasis on Dry Matter Intake, but a positive weighting on Carcass Weight which is anticipated to provide profitability in finishing non-replacement females and castrated males. Marbling and Rib-eye Area are also positively weighted to keep harvested progeny successful for a variety of commodity based programs. This index targets producers that use Hereford bulls on Brahman influenced cows.

The most talked about young sire in the history of the breed and rightfully so. His first 27 sons averaged over $8,500 in the spring bull sale. Forty-two females have averaged over $13,000 and a record selling female this fall sold for $195,000. He has proven to be one of the most popular young bulls of all time and his first set of calves are among the breeds elite. After his first set of calves has been processed his CED has improved while his growth numbers are in the top 1%. He is in the top 10% for 12 economically important traits. His striking color pattern and being homozygous polled also adds value to his offspring. This will be one of the largest offering sold by this great sire. Forty-nine sons and three daughters sell.

This is a proven sires that does so many thing for the industry. Not only is his phenotype elite enough to be named the 2017, 2019 National Supreme Champion in Denver but more importantly he is a bull that has breed changing capabilities in the commercial world. The most impressive trait is his ability to pass on scrotal size to his sons and fertility to his daughters and this is evident as he is nearly the top value bull for scrotal EPD in the entire breed. But what really makes him rare is he does this while being in the top 1% for IMF and again this has been proven by not only his sons and daughters scan data but he was also tested in the Reference Sire Program. His sons are well received by commercial cattlemen and this year we are excited to still have a large volume of these sons and daughters to offer. Eleven sons and two daughters sell.

NOTICE ME

Barracuda was purchased by ABS global and is quickly becoming on of the heavy used Hereford sires in commercial heifer breeding projects. We feel this bull has only touched what he is capable of accomplishing in his career. A truly unique breeding piece offering calving ease with strong maternal and end product value in a profit-focused package. This is a maternal legend in the making - his dam is the famed 4038 and his MGD is 1311. His maternal sisters were both the high selling open and bred heifers at the 2022 sale. Perhaps what makes Barracuda so rare is he ranks extremely high for growth and carcass weight but his daughters are still moderate and easy fleshing as he ranks in the upper 7% for mature cow weight. Three sons and four daughter sell.

Security calves have continued to impress as they have came through the weaning and into the yearling stage. As a group we are extremely impressed with these cattle. They are so smooth made and standout cattle in the pen with extreme calving ease. He has that rare combination of outstanding phenotype and strong genetic information combined with pedigree excellence. His mother stems from the Pride cow family that has produced so many herd bulls, one of which is the GENEX favorite Turning Point. He is a bull that needs used more in the future we think his sons will be very popular. Nine sons and one daughter sell.

DEER VALLEY GROWTH FUND

His impeccable EPD profile provides modest Calving Ease with off the charts growth and end product values. He ranks among the Angus breeds most elite 1 percent for WW, YW, CW, $W, $F and $B. Its rare to find a bull that captures ones eye on paper and in the pasture. GROWTH FUND is a structurally sound, moderate-framed bull with a powerful hip and rear leg. He exhibits extra neck extension, a smooth shoulder and is wide topped and widebased with muscle expression and depth of body. Four sons and two daughters sell.

CONNEALY

from Connealy Angus in Nebraska and turned out to be one of the best sires we have used in recent years. He is truly a sire that will stand up with any AI sire in the country you want to compare him to. We still use him AI and ET because of his exceptional daughters and carcass traits. Study his EPD profile and find you can’t find a big hole and that is hard to do with as many traits that are measured today. He is on the right side of breed average for every trait but four values. These are the kind that keep you in the cattle business from all perspectives. Ten sons and three daughters sell.

calves by Alternative are really impressive with extra body and dimension. 2006 is an obvious choice to bid on for the cattleman who wants weight and age flexibility due to market and feed resource forces. Remarkably, he had an adjusted 803 pound weaning weight on a first calf heifer. His maternal granddam comes from our CCC Granite line that continues to produce sale toppers.

2130 is most noteworthy in the pen. His head neck and shoulders are designed to make your next set of replacement heifers, but look down his top and he is three dimensional from right behind his shoulder out to his hip. While he is expressive, he has a great set of shoes to get him across your grazing permit.

sale is Lot 278. Her EPD profile reflects the low input, high performing kind of cattle that come from names like Basin Payweight and Connealy Confidence. Definitely more youthful at weaning, we think by sale day she will be capturing the attention of bidders looking to increase their genetic potential at weaning and yearling weights. She is also in the top 10% for $F and top 15% for CWT.

• What a great way to kick off these sexed female pregnancies with a daughter of 8019. She has quickly became one of our most popular donors and she earned this right after her first natural calf Key West was the high selling bull in the 2021 sale. He has became a great breeding bull and a great choice to use on heifers and add maternal value to a herd. This mating with the National Denver Champion Horned bull should be exciting.
