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) Statistics generated for individual cattle through national genetic evaluations.

EPD’s evaluate group averages and offspring’s performance. They can not predict individual performance or weights.

best tool available to compare animals between herd, countries and year of birth

For example, if Bull A (weaning weight EPD of +10) and Bull B (WW of +60) were randomly mated with ten similar cows, we would expect the group average weaning weight of Bull A’s offspring to be 50 lbs. lighter than that of Bull B’s (60 - 10 = 50).

help breeders make informed decisions regarding breeding stock selection by evaluating numerous traits such as growth-related traits (BW, WW, YW, Milk), carcass (REA, FAT, %IMF, etc.) and reproductive efficiency (CE, MCE, SC) A 500 510 520 530 540 560 570 580 590 600 550

B 400 450 500 550 600 600 650 700 750 800 600

estimate the group performance of one parent compared to the group performance of another parent, assuming similar mates

Note that not all calves from Bull B have a higher weaning weight but the average is 50 lbs higher.

BULL A

GROUP A Avg. OFFSPRING 550 lbs

COW HERD BULL B

GROUP B Avg. OFFSPRING 600 lbs

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

To evaluate seedstock, use EPD’s pedigree and visual assessment. With EPDs, the concept of “intermediate optimums” works best. Selection for one trait or for extremes generally results in unexpected consequences due to genetic correlations - for example,

intense selection for high yearling weight will also increase birth weight. Successful cattle breeding requires a thoughtful and balanced approach to optimize fertility, growth and carcass merit while improving profitability and efficiency.

Why so much emphasis on Bulls?

Bulls have the greatest economic impact on any breeding program, thus bull selection is one of the most important decisions that a cowman 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.

Black Angus 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.
