This sale represents some of the finest Simmental breeders the state of Iowa has to offer, bringing you some of their best stock and genetics.

Diversity in breeding decisions allows the Simmental breed to continue to grow and thrive in the market place by providing cattle that will work in a number of scenarios.

Please take some time to study the depth of cow families represented in this sale as well as the off the charts EPD data that these cattle represent. As with in the past all of the cattle offered in this sale are halter broke, free of all lethal genetic defects, and are backed by sellers who stand behind their product 100%.

This bull combines all the qualities we are trying to produce in a big-time herd bull prospect. He is huge bodied and long in his build. He has a big top and a big square hip. And best of all he is really smooth shouldered and is as sound on the move as you can make one.

To top it all off, he is out of an outstanding cow that was purchased from Zeis that is going to be a donor for us. Really look this one over, check his numbers, and get him out and analyze him. We are really proud of him and we think he checks all the boxes for someone looking for a bigtime sire.

Potus was Champion Purebred Fall bull calf at the Iowa State Fair. As many people that have seen him have said it is hard to find a Simmental bull with this much power and muscle. Sound, big middled, deep quartered, great disposition, to name a few qualities.

He has the structural integrity that will allow him to be a problem free, easy keeping bull for many, many years. He has the ability to sire attractive replacement females, as his grand dam, LKR Daisy Duke was the 2010 American Royal Grand Champion % female. His male sired progeny will be heavy at weaning, and full of red meat. He has a little more age to guarantee cow coverage this spring! Buy with confidence, its hard to find a hole in this bull.

Homo Polled black baldy. In 2012, Escalade smashed the Iowa Beef Expo records and his sons continue to sort themselves to the top. Consistent calving ease; outstanding growth, maternal & carcass values; combined with that extra special “something” that sets them apart from the other sire groups. Well, Lexus fits that description to the letter. Out of a first calf heifer, Lexus hit the ground at just 68#, and weaned off at 836#, and posted a year weight of 1383#. He combines all this in a calm, cool package that catches your eye and demands your attention. You’re gonna want to check this baldy out.

His dam, BPFC Erica 569A, had a very successful show career including Champion Foundation Heifer at the 2014 Iowa Simmental Field Day and winning her class in the open show at the American Royal. She has more than earned her keep since then.

This is as good of built bull as I have ever produced. He is stout and stylish with near perfect feet and legs. The Payday’s at Gerdes’s have been really well received and when you see this one you will know why. A maternal brother was a very popular bull for us last year selling to Kyle and Morgan Wadsworth. No doubt this one is good enough to be utilized in a seedstock setting as well.

This homo black purebred is about as complete as they come. Heavy muscled, sound as a cat and tons of eye appeal best describes him. Longevity is bred in as his mother is 14 years old and stays in as good of shape as the 7-year olds. She still milks hard and calves right on time. He is as docile as they come and if you need to add some growth to a set of calves while still maintaining depth of rib and marbling ability, CNN Determined 804F should do just that. This calf has been Carrie’s favorite since weaning time as he continues to get better every day and she just loves the total package that he brings to the table. Solid in his phenotype and study him on paper in his genotype and you’ll see why this son of the popular W/C Relentless is worth the drive to Des Moines.

Loaded Up has taken the breed by storm and looking at “Loaded Man” we can see why. We picked up his Innocent Man dam a year ago at Felt Farms bred sale and were super excited about what she could do for our program. She did not disappoint with her first calf. F04 is a bull that is sound in his structure and cool in his lines. He is super extended up through his front 1/3 and comes in a calving ease package. F04 has an actual birthweight of only 75lbs and also sits in the top 25% of the breed for calving ease and top 35% on birthweight. If you are looking for a calving ease bull with a huge amount of look be sure to mark “Loaded Man” in your sale catalogue.

Did we mention that his donor dam is Fantasia, making him a maternal sib to FITZ Escalade, FITZ Royal Flush, the $37,500 FITZ First Look heifer, and several other sale topping bulls & heifers. In his own right, Gideon weighed 78# at birth and weaned off at 846 pounds. Check out his fault free structure and fluid motion as he really glides down the aisle. Ya, he knows he’s that good. Look Gideon up at the expo, you be glad you did.

Carrie calls him Orville because of his great disposition as he is an absolute pleasure to be around and is definitely going to miss him but will be happy to visit your pasture next summer! His mother is our oldest donor cow who is getting long in years but still gets the job done and once again will calve up towards the front of the pack. A full sib to her just raised our high selling heifer this fall so if you believe in cow families, genetics and predictability, CNN Loaded For Bear 803F is the one for you.

One of my all-time favorite bulls raised at Ford Cattle Company. Big stout baldy bull that is extremely athletic and flexible in his design yet powerful and bold in his build. The maternal combination of Pays to Dream and SAV Bismark should equate to a great set of females down the road. High performing, great looking bull here!

Here’s the Grand Champion Half Blood Bull from the Midwest Fall Classic. I don’t know if you will find a bull with much more mass and bone than he has that still strides out like any scrutinizing cattleman would want. He’s super deep, huge topped, and still has the muscle shape in his lower quarter like you’d love to see in any good herd sire. His numbers tell us that he will produce average calving weights, but high in growth. His marbling numbers put him in the top 2% of the breed. He’s out of a first calf heifer that was shown successfully at state and national levels. She’s as massive of a female as you will find that still stayed sound and was VERY easy fleshing. Both he and his dam have a temperament that you’d want, very calm. The pair was Grand Champion Purebred Cow Calf Pair at the 2018 Iowa state Fair. Check him out on sale day! We don’t think that you will be disappointed!

Out of TJ Sharper Image and one of the best cows we’ve had the chance to own. His dam, a broody Steel force cow out of the famed Erica Angus bloodline, was a stand out on the show circuit and has gone on to produce a lot of good cattle for us.

He was born as a little guy and has grown like a wild fire since he hit the ground. Last year as a first calf heifer, his mother raised our high selling bull and we won’t be surprised if she does it again this year. It probably doesn’t matter what sector of the beef business you are in I bet if you put this beast to work he will quickly come to the top of your bull battery. He made a lot of friends in his only outing to the Iowa State Fair and we’re sure you’ll see why on sale day.

Riches leads off with a great foot and leg to provide longevity as a herd sire, his phenotype lends a look of ease of fleshing and birth weight.

If your donor pen needs a breath of fresh air, here is one to strongly consider. She sells bred safe to Style, possibly the hottest bull in the show cattle industry, ready to provide a big return.

There is so much to say on this one I don’t know where to start. This is ELITE genetics. She is an own daughter of TJSC So Sweet 104X. 104X is the $55,000 Reserve Champion from Louisville that went on to become one of the greatest producers of all time. She has produced heifers that brought $70,000, $40,000, $25,000, $17,000, and $12,500. Then on top of that she is the mother of the Hammer Time bull that was Reserve in Denver. It really doesn’t get much better than this.

Check this one out on sale day. With that show look and sweet front end, this one will follow in her mother’s footsteps. Sells safe to heifer sexed semen!

An April ET daughter of our $8000 Windchime donor and sired by the great female producing Canadian herd-sire, Way Cool,who left so many tremendous matrons at the Hart Ranch in South Dakota.

A flush mate sister several years ago was very popular at the Expo this one might be better. Being bred to the maternal legend,HOOKS SHEAR FORCE on July 1st,she should calve 4 or 5 days before her second birthday. We have several full sibs in our herds, but it was still a tough decision to let her go.

228F has too much white on her for her taste. So for that reason only, you have the chance to own her. Easy- doing, huge middle, level-topped and sound on the move. All in a feminine, smooth-muscled package. Great 4-H prospect or replacement.

Show heifer extraordinaire with cow power bred into her!

She’s a google-eyed baldie with a sweet, elegant front end, a big broody rib cage, wide through her skeleton and explosive in her hip yet free and easy on the move. All four feet point where they should and her attitude is top notch. She could be a big time show heifer. Her mother, CNN Dancing Queen X08, is as easy keeping as they come and puts out large flush numbers every time all while raising a big calf and breeding right back year in and year out. If you want to be in the backdrop picture and raise sale toppers for years to come, this future donor prospect sired by Loaded Up should be on your need to own list! She is a full sib to the lot 113 heifer.

Now here is a Loaded Up ET daughter that can flat out give you a killer look! She is long and extended through her front end, bold and explosive in her rib shape and has a hip that’s as powerful as they come. She’s great footed and sound on the move. If I change something about her it would be to make her a baldy like many of her flush mates.

Her donor dam is 9 years old and still froze 28 #1 eggs on this last flush while raising a calf herself and bred right back. CNN Dancing Queen XO8 stamps that explosive muscle and eye appeal trait into every single progeny she makes and 829F is no exception. I don’t know if this young female is a better show or donor prospect, but I guess that’s the fun part about the business that we will find out in time. Although it’s quite possible that she will excel at both. She is a full sib to the lot 112 heifer.

BWL Tinley 933D was the top selling female at the 2016 Sloup Simmentals New Direction Sale, and since that time has become a lead donor for my program. This breed advancing donor has a beautiful udder and stands on a power hoof. We have had several calves by her thus far and regardless of the sire she has brought the good ones to the weaning pen. Your choice to pick and choose between Executive Order & Innovator.

It isn’t very often you come across a cow that gives you a “wow” factor quite like this Maggie cow did for us. We were very fortunate to be able to get in on her early and now she is going to be a lead donor cow for us. She is flawless in her design. She is soft bodied, monster boned, and has a big top in her. Maybe my favorite characteristic is how sound she is. She has the perfect leg design and has very soft pasterns and big feet. We are just getting started on this cow and this will be the first opportunity to own some embryos out of this up and coming donor. To top it off we are offering sexed female embryos out of this great cow mated to the two-time Denver champion Pay the Price. These embryos offer a fast way to inject elite genetics into any cow herd. We are expecting our first calf crop of these as well and cannot wait for the results.

A great opportunity presented here to tie into a tremendous bloodline in the Simmental breed. Alley 247Y was the top selling female in the historic Hudson Pines Dispersal being selected by Parks Show Cattle. Alley 98D is her direct daughter by the great cow maker Duracell who was one my $37,500 selection from the 2018 NWSS Simmental Sale. This baldy female represents cow power from every angle and yet still maintains a feminine and structurally correct look. Her mating to the $50,000 high seller at the 2015 Triangle J bull sale should be lights out!

49th Annual Mark of Excellence Sale

Bull Buyers Guide Quick Guide to ASA EPDs & $ Indexes Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs): 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 & B have EPDs of +10 and -5, a 15 unit difference would be expected in their progeny. Key to using EPDs is knowing what units they are expressed in. For example if the above case referred to weaning weight, A would be expected to sire 15 pounds more at weaning than B. If calving ease were the trait, A would be expected to sire 15 percent more unassisted births in first calf heifers; in other words, if B sired 30 assists in a group of 100 heifers, we’d expect 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. $ Indexes: Though EPDs allow for the comparison of genetic levels for many economically important traits, they only provide a piece of the economic puzzle. That’s where $ indexes come in. Through well conceived, rigorous mathematical computation, $ indexes blend EPDs and economics to estimate an animal’s overall impact on your bottom line. The same technology that led to the dramatic progress in swine, poultry, and dairy genetics over the last several decades.

All-Purpose Index (API): Evaluates sires for use on the entire cow herd (bred to both first-calf heifers and mature cows) with the portion of their daughters required to maintain herd size and the remaining heifers and steers put on feed and sold grade & yield.

Terminal Index (TI): Evaluates sire for use on mature cows with all offspring put on feed and sold grade and yield.

Using API & TI: First determine which index to use; if you’re keeping replacements use API, if not, TI. Then, just as with EPDs, zero in on the unit difference between bulls. (As described before, index units are in dollars per cow exposed.) The difference can be used to determine how much a bull is worth compared to another. Or, 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 API 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 a percentile rankings or more detailed information about EPDs and $ indexes visit www.simmental.org.

Units of Expression of ASA EPDs (listed alphabetically): All-Purpose Index (API): Dollars per cow exposed under an all purpose sire scenario.

Back Fat (BF): Inches of backfat.

Birth Weight (BW): Pound of birth weight Calving Ease (CE): Percent of unassisted births when used on heifers.

Carcass Weight (CW): Pounds of carcass weight.

Maternal Calving Ease (MCE): Percent of unassisted births in first-calving daughters.

Marbling (MB): Marbling score.

Maternal Weaning Weight (MWW): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk and growth.

Ribeye Area (REA): Square inches of ribeye.

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

Terminal Index (TI): Dollars per cow exposed under a terminal sire scenario.

Weaning Weight (WW): Pounds of weaning weight.

Yearling Weight (YW): Pounds of yearling weight.

Yield Grade (YG): Yield grade score.

Iowa Bull Buyers Guide • Every bull selling will be free of all known genetic defects either by genetic testing or by pedigree. The ASA abnormality policy is a scientifically based approach to managing and ultimately reducing the incidence of genetic abnormalities in the Simmental breed. Visit the ASA’s website www.simmental.org to learn more.

• All bulls must meet strict Iowa Beef Expo performance standards:

Minimum weight per day of age of 3 lbs.

Minimum adjusted yearling weight of 1100 lbs.

Minimum scrotal circumference of 33 cm • All bulls selling will be ultrasounded for marbling, backfat, and ribeye area. Data will be adjusted to 365 days of age.

• All bulls must pass a breeding soundness exam, be halter broke, and have an acceptable disposition.

• All bulls selling are guaranteed breeders.

These tough standards are in place to give you, the buyer, a premium and problem free product. Let your dollars go further by purchasing bulls who have passed this test!
