Production Sale

Franzen Sale Facility Leigh, Nebraska - 1:00 pm ct

Welcome to the Sale Cattle have always been a part of my life, starting with helping my father on the farm, to 4-H and FFA projects, to having my own farming operation including cattle.

After raising several different breeds, we finally became acquainted with the Simmental breed for our children’s 4-H projects. We have been raising Simmentals since 1978.

That was when Simmentals became a part of our lives and eventually evolved into a herd of purebred and percentage breeding stock. Two years ago our grandson joined me and his father as part of the operation, and we began pointing in the sale direction.

Today our herd consists of polled black, black white face and red Simmental bloodlines. Proven genetics are used through AI and Embryo Transfer Programs. We emphasize production and maternal traits. Natural fleshing ability is at the top of our list of breed characteristics followed closely by excellent disposition.

We are proud to say that Franzen Simmentals involves our children and grandchildren. We are very appreciative of all of the outside interest shown by other livestock producers and welcome the opportunity to “talk cattle” anytime.

Note from the Sale Manager Welcome to the inaugural Cattle Connect Sale. Franzen Simmentals along with Gocke Cattle, Melby Simmental, and the Mueller Brothers are opening their gates and offering the best of their respective herds. These programs have decades of experience breeding Simmental cattle and it seems only natural for these programs to join together to start a sale that they hope to do annually for years to come. In this offering, you will find a great set of age-advantaged bulls, as well as some of the most current genetics in the fall yearling bulls. These programs are offering a top set of registered bred heifers right out of the heart of the herd, as well as a select group of registered open heifers. There will also be 15 head of commercial bred heifers with all the management steps taken. You would be hard pressed to find a better set of females anywhere in the region.

From bulls, bred heifers, and open heifers this sale has it all. From Purebred to SimAngus, as well as black, red, and blaze faced, you should be able to find one that suits your program. We hope you will join us on Monday, December 12. If you have any questions about the offering or are unable to attend, please contact Corey, Marty or myself.

Sincerely, Jared Murnin - Corey Wilkens - Mary Ropp

5 COMMERCIAL BRED HEIFERS

OFFERED BY: Mueller Brothers Heifers were AI bred on April 22 to Myers Silverado M109. They were cleaned up with S A V Resource 1441 and Sitz Stellar 726D sons from Frese Angus. Bulls were pulled after 60 days. Heifers will begin calving January 30, 2023.

These heifers were born in February and March 2021 and given Alpha 7 at birth. In April of 2021, they were given Pyrimid 5 and dewormed with Long Range. At weaning, they were given Vision 7 and Pyrimid 5, and wormed with Cydectin. They were given a booster shot three weeks later. In February 2022, they were pelvic measured. In August, they were ultrasounded for pregnancy. On November 7, 2022, they were given Virashield 5, wormed with Cydectin, given their first Scourboss 9 shot, poured for lice and rechecked for pregnancy. Heifers have been on a complete salt and mineral program.

Heifer mates were fed and sold on the grid and 95% graded choice plus.

ASA Quick Reference to EPDs, Indexes and $Values

EXPECTED PROGENY DIFFERENCES (EPDS): EPDs are the most accurate and effective tool available for comparing genetic levels. In using EPDs, the difference between two sires’ EPDs represents the unit difference expected in the performance of their progeny. For example, if sires A and B have EPDs of +10 and -5, a 15-unit difference would be expected in their progeny (moving from -5 to +10 yields 15 units). Key to using EPDs is knowing in what units they are expressed. For example, if the above case referred to weaning weight EPDs, sire A would be expected to sire 15 pounds more weaning weight than sire B. If calving ease was the trait, sire A would be expected to sire 15 percent more unassisted births in first-calf heifers; in other words, if sire B sired 30 assists in a group of 100 heifers, we would expect sire A to require 15 assists. A percentile-ranking chart is required to determine where a bull’s EPDs rank him relative to other bulls in the breed. For more detailed information about EPDs and $ indexes, visit www.simmental.org.

Listed below are the units in which ASA EPDs are expressed: ALL-PURPOSE INDEX (API): Dollars per cow exposed under an all-purpose-sire scenario. (See $ Indexes for more details.)

BACK FAT (BF): Inches of carcass backfat at 475 days.

BIRTH WEIGHT (BW): Pounds of birth weight.

CALVING EASE (CE): Percent of unassisted births when used on heifers.

CARCASS WEIGHT (CW): Pounds of carcass weight at 475 days.

STAYABILITY (STAY): Percent of daughters remaining in the cowherd at 6 years of age.

DOCILITY (DOC): Percent of offspring receiving a disposition score of 1 (docile).

MATERNAL CALVING EASE (MCE): Percent of unassisted births in first-calving daughters.

MILK (MLK): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk.

MARBLING (MARB): Carcass marbling score at 475 days.

MATERNAL WEANING WEIGHT (MWW): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk and growth.

RIBEYE AREA (REA): Square inches of carcass ribeye at 475 days.

TERMINAL INDEX (TI): Dollars per cow exposed under a terminal-sire scenario. (See TI for more details.)

WEANING WEIGHT (WW): Pounds of weaning weight.

YEARLING WEIGHT (YW): Pounds of yearling weight.

YIELD GRADE (YG): Carcass yield grade score at 475 days.

$ INDEXES: Though EPDs allow for the comparison of genetic levels for many economically important traits, they only provide pieces of the economic puzzle. This is where $

indexes come in. Through well-conceived, rigorous mathematical computation, $ indexes blend EPDs and economics to estimate an animal’s overall impact on integrated commercial production. 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 sires 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-ranking chart is required to determine where a bull’s index value ranks him relative to other bulls in the breed.

For more detailed information about EPDs and $indexes, visit: www.simmental.org Important disclaimer: DO NOT compare index values of purebreds of different breeds, hybrids of different breed composition or purebreds with hybrids — our system was not developed to make valid comparison among these groups. Therefore, you must first determine the breed and breed composition appropriate for your herd and use index values to compare animals within that population.
