Hawks, Grand Valley Gelbvieh/Balancers, Greenhill Gelbvieh, Guymon Livestock, McCarty Cattle Co., Peach Valley Farms, ProHart Seedstock, VandenHoek Ranch, Veltri Gelbvieh, and YJ Mountain Ranch Gelbvieh 205 Wt. - This is the weaning weight adjusted to 205 days of age. For example: a bull weighs 650# at 220 days old with an 80# BW 650# - 80# = 570# (weight gained in 220 days) 570# divided by 220 days = 2.59#/day 2.59# per day x 205 days = 531# 531# + 80# (birth weight) = 611# An age of dam adjustment is added so that older cows or heifers can be compared to the average cow. These 205 day weights are figured by the animal’s respective breed office. These adjusted numbers are useful for within herd comparison where environmental factors are the same.

Scrotal Circumference - is a measur ement taken to help deter mine if a bull’s heifer calves will reach puberty earlier than any other bull’s and also sperm production is directly proportional to scrotal size. As of now there is no adjustment for age, but 32 cm for a one year old and 36 cm for a 2 year old is a good standard. Remember that a 9 month old bull will have a good scrotal size at one year if he measures 29 cm.

P.A.P. or Pulmonary Artery Pressure - is an indication of a bull’s genetic ability to tolerate high altitudes. The higher the P.A.P. score the lower the altitude the bull should be maintained at. Bulls that develop brisket may or may not have a genetic problem, but may be the result of an environmental influence such as sickness, feed, or stress. Dr. Tim Holt recommends that bulls with a P.A.P. score greater than 48 be used at elevations lower than 6,000 feet. The bulls have been P.A.P. tested at an elevation of 5,682 feet. (Montrose, Colorado) Genetic Defects - We have sear ched all pedigr ees to the best of our ability and all bulls selling ar e fr ee from any known defects.

About the Bulls - The bulls have all been fed together . Our goal was to average a 3.3# A.D.G. We believe that fat bulls ar e not practical. The 3.3# per day is enough growth for a group, knowing some will exceed this rate due to genetics or due to the bull’s ability to consume more feed than others (temperment, environment, etc.).

The bulls have been vaccinated with 8 way, Cattle Master 4 (or equivalent), One Shot (or equivalent), Fusogard, Myco-Bac B, and Inforce 3.

All bulls have been wormed with Dectomax and have been fertility and P.A.P. tested. All bulls - Trich and PI-BVD tested negative.

Average daily gain and scrotal circumference will be available on sale day.

Bulls traveling to UT, NM, WY, AZ, and ID - All “Pot of Gold” bulls sold will have been tested once for trichomoniasis, found negative, and ready to haul sale day. The veterinarian will write a health and entry permit for you.

Hauling of Bulls/Feed - All bulls may be hauled directly from the sale or can be delivered to central locations as needed. Bulls can be fed at Flowers Farm (Feedlot) for $2.60 per yearling bull per day and $2.90 per two year old bull per day until April 15th. “Pot of Gold” can help with these arrangements but the owner of the bull(s) will be responsible for all vet costs, feed costs, and liability on the bull(s).

In addition, Gelbvieh and Balancer females offer a small mature cow size, more maternal milk and reach puberty at an earlier age.

years of age. With the high costs associated with the development or purchase of replacement females, sustained reproduction is essential in a herd.

U.S. MARC data, along with American Gelbvieh Association genetic trends, prove that today’s Gelbvieh and Balancer cows are highly productive, offering increased longevity, more manageable mature cow weights, early puberty, quiet disposition and have the ability to calve unassisted while delivering consistent growth.

With stayability and cow productivity being important factors in cowcalf profitability, adding Gelbvieh and Balancer maternal influence through a crossbreeding program is a great option for commercial producers.

How To Use EPDs

EPDs are used to compare sires within a breed. Environment is removed so bulls that were raised differently can still be compared.

BW, WW, YW, Milk, and TM are all expressed in pounds.

The bigger the number, the more pounds you can expect.

Example: Bull A = BW of 3.2, WW of 68 Bull B = BW of -0.4, WW of 56 Bull A’s calves would be expected (on average) to weigh 3.6 pounds more than bull B’s calves at birth.

Bull A’s calves would be expected (on average) to weigh 12 pounds more than Bull B’s calves at weaning.

If a bull had 100 calves born to him the average performance of those calves would equal his EPDs.

EPD Definitions Listed below is a partial list of the definitions of American Gelbvieh Association EPDs and the units in which they are published..

MATERNAL TRAITS Calving ease direct (CED): Per cent of unassisted bir ths of a bull’s calves when he is used on heifers. A higher number is favorable, meaning better calving ease. This EPD can be vital to a rancher looking to decrease the amount of calves pulled in his herd.

Milk (Milk): The genetic ability of a sir e’s daughters to produce milk expressed in pounds of weaning weight.

Calving ease maternal (CEM): Repr esented as per cent of unassisted bir ths in a sir e’s first-calving daughters. A higher number represents more favorable calving ease. This EPD is important to a rancher’s bottom line because it predicts which animals produce daughters with a genetic pre-disposition to calve unassisted as heifers.

Stayability (ST): Pr edicts the genetic differ ence, in ter ms of per cent pr obability, that a bull’s daughters will stay productive within a herd to at least six year of age. The stayability EPD is one of the best measures currently available to compare a bull’s ability to produce females with reproductive longevity.

GROWTH TRAITS Birth weight (BW): Pr edicts the differ ence, in pounds, for bir th weight of the calf.

Weaning weight (WW): Pr edicts the differ ence, in pounds, for weaning weight (adjusted to age of dam and a standar d 205 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to weaning.

Yearling weight (YW): Pr edicts the expected differ ence, in pounds, for year ling weight (adjusted to a standar d 365 days of age). This is an indicat or of growth from birth to yearling.

CARCASS TRAITS Yield grade (YG): Differ ences in yield gr ade scor e, which is a pr edictor of per cent r etail pr oduct. Smaller values suggest that pr ogeny will ha ve a better lean to fat ratio.

Carcass weight (CW): Differ ences in pounds of hot car cass weight, adjusted to an industr y standar d age endpoint.

Ribeye area (REA): Differ ences in r ibeye ar ea in inches between the 12th and 13th r ib. Gr eater r ibeye ar eas ar e pr efer able.

Marbling (MB): Pr edicts the differ ences in the degr ee of mar bling within the r ibeye as expr essed in mar bling scor e units. Gr eater mar bling n umber s are preferable and are an indicator of higher carcass quality grades.

INDEXES Indexes are tools that allow producers to select for several EPDs at once, making selections more efficient than selecting on one trait at a time. Indexes weigh traits based on their importance to a producer’s bottom line by using a trait’s economic and genetic value. Indexes are a good way to put selection emphasis on traits that are economically relevant.

Total maternal (TM): An index that combines gr owth and milk infor mation as a pr ediction of the weaning weight per for mance of calves fr om a sir e’s daughters. As an index, this value is not reported with an accompanying accuracy. A greater TM value means a mother that returns comparatively higher weaning weights on her calves. TM Index = MK EPD + ½ WW EPD. $Cow: Repr esents the genetic value in dollar s of pr ofit of an animal when r etained as a r eplacement female r elative to other animal s in the her d. A higher number represents more profitable genetics for maternal productivity. $Cow will serve producers in selecting bulls that will sire daughters with stayability and reproductive efficiency as well as other traits that lead to profitability in a production system, such as milk, calving ease, moderate mature weight and the ability of calves to gain. A female’s genetics also influence the performance of her calves in the feedlot and at slaughter, so traits such as feed efficiency and carcass value are also included in $Cow. Efficiency profit index (EPI): An economic selection index developed to aid pr oducer s in selecting for mor e feed efficient cattle that still have acceptable amounts of gain. The EPI provides slight negative pressure on intake, while keeping gain at a constant value. By selecting on this index, producers will be able to find those animals that gain the same amount as their contemporaries while eating less.

Feeder Profit Index (FPI): An economic selection index designed to aid pr oducer s in selecting sir es whose pr ogeny will per for m in the feedlot and ar e sold on a grade and yield standpoint. Well ranking sires for FPI have higher marbling and carcass weight than their contemporaries. As a terminal index, little emphasis is put on maternal traits such as stayability and calving ease.

How Genomic-Enhanced EPDS Impact Bull Buying Decisions American Gelbvieh Association’s (AGA) Genomic-Enhanced EPDs (GE-EPDs) provide Gelbvieh and Balancer® breeders and their commercial producers the ability to more accurately identify young individuals with the right genetics needed to accelerate genetic improvement in their respective herds.

GE-EPDs result in more accurate EPDs for bulls and females two to four years sooner when compared to using pedigree and performance information alone. The information can be used to more accurately select sires that excel in feedlot and carcass traits or choose bulls that can be used on replacement heifers with increased confidence.

Bottom line, GE-EPDs allow bull buyers to make smarter, better informed bull and female buying decisions backed by more accurate EPDs. This saves time and money, reduces risk and accelerates the rate of genetic progress.

Contact the AGA to find out more about GE-EPDs by calling 303-465-2333 or visiting the AGA website at http://www.gelbvieh.org/education/epdresearch/research.html.

HOW TO FOLLOW THE DNA “TRAIL” HOW DO I KNOW IF A BULL HAS GENOMIC ENHANCED EPDS? On the left side of the bull box, just under the lot number it says: EPDs GEN Y or GEN N GEN Y = GENOMIC ENHANCED YES (YES TESTED FOR THE ENHANCED EPDs) GEN N = GENOMIC ENHANCED NO (NOT TESTED FOR THE ENHANCED EPDs) FOR HOMOZYGOUS BLACK DNA RESULTS: Black (Homo - D) = DNA tested homozygous black Black (not Homo - D) = DNA tested but not homozygous black FOR HOMOZYGOUS POLLED DNA RESULTS: Polled (Homo - D) = DNA tested homozygous polled Polled (not Homo - D) = DNA tested but not homozygous polled

GELBVIEH—The Continental Breed of Choice, red meat/yield grade, early puberty, good disposition, maternal, and growth.

BALANCERS– Registered Gelbvieh x Angus (Red or Black), combines the desirable traits of both breeds, fastest way to achieve benefits from crossbreeding which includes hybrid vigor.

RED AND BLACK ANGUS– For years Angus have been the mainstay for cross breeding programs with their traits that compliment the Continental Breeds—carcass traits and maternal.

Genetic Trends Today, feeders favor buying cattle that predict performance both in the feedyard and on the rail. To help breeders select for these more favorable animals, the American Gelbvieh Association offers FPI and Efficiency Profit Index (EPI). Genetic trends for both of these indexes show Gelbvieh and Balancer cattle becoming more favorable in the feedyard.

WHAT EPDs ARE NOT First, EPDs do not indicate how many pounds will be added to a herd’s average by using a particular bull. Only the differences among bulls are relevant. Second, EPDs can and probably will change on a bull as more information is added. In fact, every bull evaluated will get a new set of EPDs the next time the American Gelbvieh Association and American Angus Association conducts another genetic evaluation. Third, EPDs can not be compared across all breeds. Gelbvieh and Balancer EPDs ar e now on the same base with Simmental and Red Angus, which means that EPDs for each trait (except stayability) are directly comparable to American Simmental Association and Red Angus Association of America’s EPDs. And finally, EPDs are one of several tools that should be used together in order to ensure that you find the best bull for your needs and long term goals. Factors such as fertility, structural soundness, muscling, and frame size should also be considered. EPDs are the best tools for genetic risk management available today.

How To Use EPDs

EPDs are used to compare sires within a breed. Environment is removed so bulls that were raised differently can still be compared.

BW, WW, YW, Milk, and TM are all expressed in pounds. The bigger the number, the more pounds you can expect.

Example: Bull A = BW of 3.2, WW of 68 Bull B = BW of -0.4, WW of 56 Bull A’s calves would be expected (on average) to weigh 3.6 pounds more than bull B’s calves at birth.

Bull A’s calves would be expected (on average) to weigh 12 pounds more than Bull B’s calves at weaning.

If a bull had 100 calves born to him the average performance of those calves would equal his EPDs.
