Spirit of the West Sale

Health All bulls have passed a complete breeding soundness exam and are guaranteed breeders. Bulls selling out of state will require extra days to complete health papers and necessary testing depending on the state's veterinary health requirements.

Bull Management The majority of the spring 2014 born bulls were managed at a different feedlot than in previous years. The feedlot is located approximately 20 miles from the ranch. The bulls were at the feedlot from October until a few days before the sale. The fall bulls, older-aged bulls and a handful of the yearling bulls were developed at the ranch. A nutrition consultant from Flagler Cooperative Association has helped develop the ration that the bulls at both the feedlot and at the ranch were grown on.

Scrotal Circumferences All scrotal circumferences are actual measures taken in lateFebruary.

First Breeding Season Guarantee As of March 21, 2015, all bulls are guaranteed sound breeders for the first breeding season. If a bull fails to perform or becomes wild during the first breeding season, we will trade the buyer for a comparable replacement bull. Death loss and breeding injuries are the buyer’s risk. The first breeding season is from March 21, 2015 to July 1, 2015 and any request for a replacement bull needs to be made by July 1, 2015. Any guarantee warranted cannot exceed the purchase price of the bull.

Liability People that attend the sale do so at their own risk, we are not responsible for accidents.

Terms and Conditions Terms are cash or check, and settlement must be made sale day before the cattle leave the ranch. All cattle sell under the terms and conditions suggested by the AGA.

Our breeding program philosophy is to balance growth, carcass and phenotype to produce bulls and females that excel in all environments for our customers.

The Value of Crossbreeding Crossbreeding is not a new thing. Progressive cattlemen have utilized it for decades to make production systems more efficient and to utilize breed complementarity in order to meet market and consumer demands.

Crossbreeding allows producers to make a product that is in demand and do it at less cost, regardless of environment.

People in the business world say that is good. After all, more profit is a good thing. It’s smart business.

The crossbred female is 30% more productive over her lifetime. The hybrid vigor advantages of the crossbred female make her more profitable to an operation over her straightbred counterpart.

Trait Calving Rate Survival to Weaning Birth Weight Weaning Weight Yearling Weight Average Daily Gain Longevity

Do the math in your own herd. It’s proven that with the crossbred cow you get an advantage of: +38% cow longevity; +25% lifetime productivity; +8% calf crop weaned; +5% weaning performance; +4% in calf yearling performance. It’s smart to take advantage of hybrid vigor. It increases profit.

Crossbreeding is proven science. Cattlemen and cattlewomen can produce quality and have more profitability when utilizing it in a planned breeding system.

Don’t believe otherwise. Using Gelbvieh and Balancer® genetics in your crossbreeding system is smart and easy.

Don’t ranch without it.

Effects of Individual Heterosis on Crossbred Calves +3.2% +1.4% +1.7 lbs. +16.3 lbs. +29.1 lbs. +0.08 lb./day -

Effects of Maternal Heterosis with Crossbred Cows +3.5% +0.8% +1.6 lbs. +18.0 lbs. +1.36 years

Lifetime Productivity of Crossbred Cows = +0.97 Number of Calves and +600 lbs. Cumulative Weaning Weight Source: Bob Weaber, Ph.D., Kansas State University

Linda is a long-time customer and friend of our program. Lots 44-46 are consigned by Linda and are sired by a bull she purchased in our 2013 sale. Lots 45 and 46 are also out of Jumping Cow Gelbvieh Ranch females that Linda has purchased for her own program.

The EPDs for AAD La Beef 1254Z rank in the top 10% for HP; the top 25% for CED; and the top 30% for YW, CW, MB & FPI. These three bulls have been fed and managed at the same feedlot as the other yearling bulls in this sale. Buy with confidence.

Red NCJ Lazy MC Venon 34Z is a Red Angus sire that we purchased a semen package on from BCR Ventures. We are using him extensively in our AI and ET program. Our customers were asking for Red Angus Balancer bulls and Venom is the perfect fit with our cow herd to fill this need. His EPDs rank in the top 20% for YW; the top 25% for CW & MB; the top 30% for FPI; and the top 35% for WW. Venom is an outcross sire to ours and many programs. His calves are as stout and thick as he is.

How much can I afford to pay for a bull?

A popular question this time of year is "How much can I afford to pay for a bull." My go-to answer is usually‌ "How much revenue loss would you have from a pasture full of open cows?" After all, we often de-value the role of the bull.

We forget that he is a crucial part of the equation to making our product.

Now, the question is a good one to ask. Especially after watching calf prices climb seemingly all of 2014 and the prices paid for bred heifers at year-end, it is only logical to wonder what a good bull will cost this spring.

Old rules of thumb are good to reflect on. For instance, "2 times the value of a fat steer" or "4 to 5 times the value of a feeder calf " are both common measures used by old timers to determine the value of a bull. So, I tested these figures with historical prices from the Illinois Performance Tested Bull Sale and prices paid for feeders and fats from National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). As it turns out, using values from 1996 to 2014 (last 19 years) the average bull price was 4 times the value of a feeder calf and 2.1 times the value of a fat steer. Looks like those old rules of thumb work pretty well.

Using these multipliers, we can speculate to the average price of bulls this coming sale season. Looking at recent market reports, 500 lb. feeder calves are bringing $2.40 or more. Thus, value of a 5-weight feeder calf is conservatively $1,200. History tells us 4 times that value will get us close to the average. Thus 4 x $1,200 = $4,800 for an average bull price.

A conservative price for fat steers weighing 1300 lb. is $1.60. Therefore the math tells us a fat steer values out at nearly $2,100. The previously stated multiplier of 2.1 times the value of a fat steer would yield an average bull price of just over $4,400. So, we have a conservative range of $4,400 to $4,800 for the average bull price.

That said, there will be many bulls that bring in excess of those figures. So, what factors contribute to bulls bringing more than the average? Are they worth the extra money?

For simplicity, let's say a bull breeds 25 cows per year for 4 years resulting in 100 calves over his lifespan. With these conservative assumptions, even a small improvement in a valuable trait can greatly increase a bull's value.

Simmental that would mean purchasing a bull in the top 10 % of the breed for that trait‌ not an unrealistic buy. The 5 point improvement should translate to 5% more unassisted births. In the real world, it's fair to say half of assisted births don't make it. Thus, a 5% improvement in CED could easily translate to 2.5% more calves. Out of 100 calves sired over a lifetime, that's 2.5 more calves. The added value from improved CE would be $3,000 (2.5 more calves x 500 lbs x $2.40/lb.).

The most common example for added value of a bull is improved EPDs for weaning weight (WW). Let's say you purchase a bull with a WW EPD of 60 (breed average for Angus is 50). That's 10 additional pounds at weaning per calf. If the bull sires 100 calves in a lifetime and a pound is worth $2.40, then the result is $2,400 more income over his lifetime when compared to the average of current sires.

Another figure bull buyers can look at are $ values (Weaned Calf Value ($W), Beef Value ($B), All-Purpose Index (API), Terminal Index (TI)). These values are expressed in dollars and if you match your herd needs with the correct index, they can help you be more profitable.

Understanding and Utilizing Economic Indexes in Sire Selection is a good resource for learning more about the role $ values play in selection.

When selecting your next herd sire, identify the traits that can add dollars to your operation. Don't sacrifice functionality, structural soundness, docility, and other traits that can affect longevity. View purchasing a bull as an investment and treat it as such. Investing in a good bull that can improve profitable traits in your herd can allow your farm to be more competitive no matter the market dynamic.

Bottomline, bulls are a significant contributor to profit or loss in your cattle herd. The have an impact now and for years to come if you are retaining replacement females.

Look for traits that hold value in your market. Find a bull that can inject those traits. The "expense" of a bull can be a great investment in the future of your cattle herd.

For instance, Calving Ease (CE) EPD is defined as the difference in percentage of unassisted births. So, let's say you purchase a bull that is 5 points better in his CE than the breed average for current sires. For both Angus and

Multi-Breed Genetic Evaluation All of the AGA EPDs are backed by the industry’s largest and most robust multi-breed international genetic evaluation in the world. Growth and carcass EPDs for Gelbvieh and Balancer animals are directly comparable to Simmental, Red Angus, Shorthorn, Limousin and a growing number of other breeds.

The multi-breed EPDs combine pedigree, performance, ultrasound, carcass and genomic data into one easy to use set of numbers. Seedstock breeders and their commercial customers can have confidence in the AGA’s EPDs to evaluate the genetic merit between breeds for both purebred and hybrid seedstock

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

Maternal traits Calving ease direct (CE): Percent of unassisted births 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 (MK): The genetic ability of a sire’s daughters to produce milk expressed in pounds of weaning weight.

Calving ease maternal (CEM): Represented as percent of unassisted births in a sire’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.

Heifer pregnancy (HP): Predicts the probability that a bull’s daughters will become pregnant as first-calf heifers in a regular breeding season, expressed as a percent. A higher value of this EPD is favorable, meaning that a higher percentage of a sire’s daughters get pregnant as first calf heifers compared to other sires in his contemporary group.

30-month pregnancy (Pg30): Predicts the probability that a bull’s daughters will become pregnant and calve at three years of age, given that they calved as first-calf heifers. This EPD is expressed as a percent, again, with a higher number being more favorable meaning a higher percentage of a sire’s daughters will calve at three years of age, given they calved as first-calf heifers.

Stayability (ST): Predicts the genetic difference, in terms of percent probability, 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): Predicts the difference, in pounds, for birth weight of the calf.

Weaning weight (WW): Predicts the difference, in pounds, for weaning weight (adjusted to age of dam and a standard 205 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to weaning.

Yearling weight (YW): Predicts the expected difference, in pounds, for yearling weight (adjusted to a standard 365 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to yearling.

Carcass traits Yield grade (YG): Differences in yield grade score, which is a predictor of percent retail product. Smaller values suggest that progeny will have a better lean to fat ratio.

Carcass weight (CW): Differences in pounds of hot carcass weight, adjusted to an industry standard age endpoint.

Ribeye area (REA): Differences in ribeye area in inches between the 12th and 13th rib. Greater ribeye areas are preferable.

Marbling (MB): Predicts the differences in the degree of marbling within the ribeye as expressed in marbling score units. Greater marbling numbers are preferable and are an indicator of higher carcass quality grades.

Fat (FT): Differences for fat thickness, in inches, for a carcass over the 12th rib, smaller numbers of fat thickness are preferable as excess fat can be detrimental to yield grade.

Efficiency traits Dry matter intake (DMI): Represents the average daily dry matter intake per day consumed in pounds. A negative or lesser value is more favorable. For example, Bull A has a DMI EPD of .15 and Bull B has a DMI EPD of -.20, so the progeny of Bull B consume, on average, .35 pound less dry matter per day than progeny from Bull A.

Efficiency profit index (EPI): An economic selection index developed to aid producers in selecting for more 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.

What is an Index?

Indexes are tools that allow you 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.

Feeder profit index (FPI): An economic selection index designed to aid producers in selecting sires whose progeny will perform in the feedlot and are sold on grade and yield.

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.

Total maternal (TM): An index that combines growth and milk information as a prediction of the weaning weight performance of calves from a sire’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: Represents the genetic value in dollars of profit of an animal when retained as a replacement female relative to other animals in the herd. 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.

Genomic-Enhanced EPDs A select number of the bulls in this year’s sale sell with genomic-enhanced EPDs (GE EPDs). Those bulls with GE EPDs are indicated in the lot listing.

GE EPDs combine pedigree, individual performance and genomic information to save time and money, reduce risk, and accelerate the rate of genetic progress.

The information from the genomic data can be as informative as a bull’s first calf crop or a cow’s lifetime production record. Since the genomic data is incorporated directly into the EPDs, cattle producers will not have to learn how to interpret the new data.
