KNOLL CREST FARM

T TAL PERFORMANCE BULL SALE Serving the beef industry since 1944!

FRIDAY

DECEMBER 6, 2019

James D. Bennett and his father Paul D. Bennett in 1951.

Paul moved to Campbell County in 1929 and purchased the original 420 acres that became Knoll Crest Farm. He was known to have a keen eye and photographic memory when it came to cattle breeding and pedigrees. James was a Freshman at VPI when his father suffered a heart attack. He returned home at age 17 and assumed management responsibilities of the farm’s cattle and tobacco enterprises. That team was an early adopter of performance data collection, as they began taking weaning weights in 1963, utilizing the Virginia BCIA for data analysis. Knoll Crest Farm received the Beef Improvement Federation’s Seedstock Producer of the Year Award in 1978 and again in 1998.

TIME TESTED...… The Bennett family at Knoll Crest Farm has been in the business of supplying bulls to it’s customers in Southside Virginia since 1944. Through those 75 years, our family has experienced many price cycles, droughts, cattle type pendulums, genetic selection innovations, technology evolutions and advancements, and the list goes on… It is our belief that a primary component of quality customer service is understanding the ongoing needs of our customers… and producing seedstock that are functional, efficient, adaptable, “user friendly,” sustainable and, in culmination, profitable for the long haul. We are proud of the fact that we require our cowherd to thrive on hot fescue. Our focus includes breeding goals based on the fundamentals of producing balanced trait cattle that are backed by many generations of selection pressure.

INDUSTRY FOCUSED...… ANGUS

PATHFINDER

The Knoll Crest Angus cowherd produced 45 Pathfinder Dams in 2019. The herd ranks 11th in the nation and has the most Pathfinders of any herd east of the Mississippi River. The Knoll Crest Hereford cowherd produced 25 Dams of Distinction in 2019. The herd ranks 8th in the nation and has the most Dams of Distinction of any herd east of the Mississippi River. The Knoll Crest Hereford herd produced 40 CHB Sires of Distinction in 2019. These bulls represent 9% of all sires recognized and the KCF herd produced, by far, the most CHB Sires of Distinction of any herd.

These recognitions give evidence of our commitment to comprehensive data collection and unwavering selection pressure on traits that affect maternal performance, as well as end product merit.

KNOLL CREST FARM

WE INVITE YOU TO JOIN US ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2019!

SERVING OUR BULL CUSTOMERS SINCE 1944 When you buy a Knoll Crest bull, you do more than purchase an animal – you tie to a program.

Knoll Crest Farm is firmly committed to delivering service with each bull. We conduct our business in a manner that demands providing only the very best genetics for our valued customers. Along with “value-added” genetics, we provide “value added” service. BULL GUARANTEE: Knoll Crest will insure each bull it sells in an unconditional manner against death or injury for one year. Knoll Crest shall receive salvage value, if there is any. Purchaser agrees to have bulls examined (or autopsied) by a licensed veterinarian and notify Knoll Crest immediately. If a replacement bull is available, he will be provided, or if the buyer prefers, credit toward one bull will be given in the following year’s sale. Replacement bulls are not covered by this guarantee. BULL PICK UP AND DELIVERY Pick up your bull on sale day and receive a $50 discount on each bull purchased which will be applied at checkout time. If you pick up your bull within 7 days of the sale date, you will be refunded $50 per bull. These discounts do not apply outside of the sale, on bulls that have been returned, and on replacement bulls. For bulls sold through Telo-Auction or LiveAuctions.TV, we will contact you to organize suitable pickup or shipping arrangements. DELIVERY: If you need a bull delivered, we can arrange to have your bull delivered to anywhere in the continental US. We guarantee it will not exceed $250 per head. WINTERING OF BULLS: Knoll Crest will winter bulls selling for $3,000 or more until March 1, 2020, at no cost. Other bulls may be wintered at a cost of $3/day. This will allow producers to buy bulls for future use and not have to take possession until Spring. VOLUME DISCOUNTS: Buyers purchasing 2 or more bulls will receive a volume discount as follows: 2 bulls = 2%, 3 bulls = 3%, 4 bulls = 4%, 5 or more bulls = 5%. These discounts do not apply outside of the sale and on replacement bulls. PAYMENT SCHEDULE 2019-2020: For taxation purposes, it may be beneficial for some customers to pay for cattle after January 1, 2020. Therefore, we will gladly accept payment at sale (2019) or by January 6, 2020. SEMEN INTEREST: Knoll Crest Farm will retain a 1/3 semen interest in every bull selling. In reality, this will affect only a very few bulls that sell. KCF reserves the right to collect semen at KCF’s cost and at the buyers’ convenience. KCF retains 1/3 of the semen revenue rights for each bull. The buyer owns 100% possession and 100% salvage value. FLOOR PRICE: Each bull selling will be floored at $1,800 during the auction.

We want to make it easy for you to attend our sale, so we are offering several options that will meet your individual needs: 1. In Person at the Sale Barn

Come out and start the day with good fellowship and food. Mt. Carmel United Methodist Church will be providing “Home Cooking” for lunch. You can obtain a bidder number from the ladies in the barn office, walk around and view the bulls in their pens, and enjoy the sale environment.

Individual video footage of each and every bull will play in the sale ring as the bulls are auctioned off during the sale. The bulls will not be sent through the ring during the auction.

2. Through Telo-Auction

Before sale day, call Knoll Crest Farm at 434-376-3567 or Paul Bennett at 434-941-8245 to obtain a TeloAuction bidder number. During the sale, call 1-800-309-2350 (Conference ID number: 4505514#, when prompted speak your name and press “#”) to participate in the Telo-Auction bidding with a live auctioneer.

Videos of the animals will be available about November 13, 2019 on our website at www.knollcrestfarm.com.

BULL DEVELOPMENT AND CONTEMPORARY GROUPING Weaning weights (for 205 day adjusted weights) were taken in May. Bulls were weaned on pasture and hay. The “test period” was from early June to early October. For that period, bulls continued to graze in 15-30 acre pastures, had access to grass, hay and free-choice bull developer composed primarily of commodity ingredients, corn and an intake-limiting ingredient from Purina. The bulls were divided into several contemporary groups for “ratioing” purposes at weaning and yearling. They were grouped by breed, pre-weaning location and management. ET bulls were put into separate contemporary groups. Our goal is to minimize confusion, while practicing sound genetic evaluation principals. Please give Paul a call if you have questions.

Calving Ease Direct (CED) - is expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births, with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in first-calf heifers. It predicts the average difference in ease with which a sire’s calves will be born when he is bred to first-calf heifers. Birth Weight EPD (BEPD) - predicts the difference in average birth weight of a bull’s calves compared to calves of another bull. Reported in pounds. *Experience has shown that an Angus bull with a CED EPD of +8 or higher and a BW EPD of +2.0 or less can be used on first-calf heifers with a minimal number of calving problems. If you do not have heifers to breed and just need a bull for cows that have calved before, most Angus bulls are acceptable for use on mature cows from a birth weight standpoint. Weaning Weight EPD (WEPD) - is a prediction of a bull’s ability to transmit weaning growth to his progeny. For example, Bull A has a Weaning Weight EPD of +60 pounds and Bull B has a Weaning Weight EPD of +40 pounds. At weaning, Bull A’s calves will average 20 pounds heavier. A higher number is desirable. Residual Average Daily Gain (RADG), feed efficiency expressed in pounds per day, is a predictor of a sire’s genetic ability for postweaning gain in future progeny compared to that of other sires, given a constant amount of feed consumed. Yearling Weight EPD (YEPD) - takes into account both pre-weaning and post weaning growth. Yearling weight is the most heritable of all growth traits. You can expect bulls with high Yearling EPDs to produce fast gaining calves. If Bull A has a Yearling EPD of +90 and Bull B has a Yearling EPD of +60, Bull A’s calves will average 30 pounds heavier than Bull B’s at one year of age. Scrotal Circumference EPD (SC) - expressed in centimeters, is a predictor of the difference in transmitting ability for scrotal size compared to that of other sires. Docility (DOC), is expressed as a difference in yearling cattle temperament, with a higher value indicating more favorable docility. It predicts the average difference of progeny from a sire in comparison with another sire’s calves. Calving Ease Maternal (CEM), is expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in first-calf daughters. It predicts the average ease with which a sire’s daughters will calve as first-calf heifers when compared to daughters of other sires. Milk EPD - Expressed in pounds of weaning weight that result from the amount of milk produced by daughters of a particular bull, as compared to the daughters of other bulls. If Bull A is +25 for Milk and Bull B is +15, bull A’s daughters’ calves will weigh 10 pounds heavier at weaning due to her superior milking ability. CARCASS EPDS Carcass Weight EPD (CW) - expressed in pounds, is a predictor of the differences in hot carcass weight of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.

Marbling EPD (Marb) - predicts the difference in average USDA marbling score of a bull’s progeny compared to progeny of another bull at a similar end point. The higher the value, the higher the amount of intramuscular fat (taste fat) in the ribeye, which positively affects quality grade. Ribeye Area EPD (RE) - expressed in square inches, is a predictor of the difference in ribeye area of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires. $VALUE INDEXES $Value indexes, are multi-trait selection indexes to assist beef producers by adding simplicity to genetic selection decisions. $Values are reported in dollars per head, where a higher value is more favorable. The $Value is an estimate of how future progeny of each sire are expected to perform, on average, compared to progeny of other sires in the database if the sires were randomly mated to cows and if calves were exposed to the same environment. Maternal Weaned Calf Value ($M), is the most maternally-focused selection index currently available to Angus members and commercial users of Angus genetics. $M, expressed in dollars per head, aims to predict profitability differences in progeny due to genetics from conception to weaning. Weaned Calf Value ($W), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for pre-weaning merit. $W includes both revenue and cost adjustments associated with differences in birth weight, weaning direct growth, maternal milk, and mature cow size. Feedlot Value ($F), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for postweaning merit compared to progeny of other sires. Grid Value ($G), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for carcass grid merit compared to progeny of other sires. $G combines both $QG and $YG, and may be the best carcass decision tool for focusing on quality and red meat yield simultaneously. Beef Value ($B), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for postweaning and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires. Combined $Value Index($C), expressed in dollars per head, is an index which includes all traits that make up both Maternal Weaned Calf Value ($M) and Beef Value ($B) with the objective that commercial producers will replace 20% of their breeding females per year with replacement heifers retained within their own herd.

HOW TO READ DATA

KNOLL CREST FARM An Expected Progeny Difference (EPD) is a prediction of how future progeny of a sire or dam are expected to perform in various production and carcass traits which are measurable. EPDs are expressed in actual pounds, square inches, or centimeters (depending on the trait), plus or minus what you can expect in the weights or measurements of progeny sired by a particular animal as compared with another animal. The EPDs of the animals listed in this sale book can be compared to other animals of the same breed.

★★ Featured

at Select Sires, Fortress has become a unique sire who does many things well, as evidenced by his high accuracy EPD profile.

Driving the science of better breeding There’s little room for error in the cattle business. Producers need the most advanced information to make smart selection decisions, and Angus Genetics Inc. (AGI) provides it through genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs). EPDs that traditionally contained all pedigree, performance and progeny information now also include results from available genomic, or DNA, tests. Breeders who use genomic technology give buyers access to AGI-generated GE-EPDs that provide: Increased predictability and decreased risk for young and unproven animals due to enhanced accuracy of EPDs Better characterization of genetics for difficult-to-measure performance traits (such as carcass traits, maternal traits and feed efficiency) The ability to make more rapid progress for traits that are important to you, due to: · more accurate selection · easier identification of genetic outliers · the ability to propagate young animals with confidence earlier in their lives

In fact, GE-EPDs on unproven animals have the same amount of accuracy as if they had recorded 8-33 calves, depending on the trait. That’s valuable insight, offered regularly through the breed’s weekly national cattle evaluation at www.angus.org.

How do you know if EPDs are genomic-enhanced? Ask your breeder, refer to the registration paper, or look for the AGI GE-EPD logo, Angus GS GeneSeek or the HD50k or i50k by partner Zoetis.

ONE COW AT A TIME

KNOLL CREST FARM

Knoll Crest Customer Wins 2019 BIF Commercial Producer of The Year ONE COW AT A TIME

Mershon Cattle LLC, Buckner, Mo., did not happen by success overnight — or by chance.1 Weaning weights, yearling weights, finishing weights, harvest weights and hanging weights. DNA and expected progeny differences (EPDs) on cows. Feed efficiency data on the horizon. At first glance, this intricate system seems to describe a progressive seedstock operation. But a commercial operation? Not likely. Enter Mershon Cattle LLC, a diversified crop and livestock operation home to 1,600 commercial cows in west-central Missouri. Owners and operators Bruce and Tracey Mershon backgrounded local calves beginning in 1993 and a decade later bred their first set of heifers via artificial insemination (AI) to build their herd on the land Bruce’s great-greatgrandfather, Eli Mershon, settled in 1865. Since then, they have managed the herd under an overarching mantra — ranching one cow at a time. At surface level, this cow-calf operation retains ownership on steers to harvest, backgrounds cattle, retains heifers and sells bred heifers at special sales. But under the surface, their unique business model, extensive data collection, recordkeeping and technology keep the operation afloat. “It’s just like the GPS in my brother’s tractors and our combines and farming one acre at a time — we have to ranch one cow at a time,” Bruce says. “We have to look at each cow individually and make sure we’re doing the best we can with each individual animal.”

FOCUS ON FEMALES

Utilizing a complementary breeding system, Angus-based, crossbred cows are bred to Hereford, Simmental and Charolais sires to produce efficient, high-performing offspring. Eighty-five percent of the cows are bred AI, and Hereford, Angus and SimAngus bulls are used for cleanup. “We’re looking for a moderate-sized female that’s docile and also has the opportunity to be fed and bred for production,” Bruce explains. “We use AI sires to bring genetics we couldn’t afford to do on all-natural sired bulls. We believe crossbreeding gives us the heterosis to produce at the highest level and longevity — and our goals are to continue to produce a moderate animal that will grade well at harvest.” Their breeding system is perhaps just as efficient as their calves. Before breeding season, Bruce sends out a day-by-day breakdown of the whole process so the teams know where they are working each day. Fueled by Tracey’s famous lunches, the crew makes sure breeding day moves quickly so animals are not overstressed, which makes the success rates much better. Then there is “herd improvement day,” as the crew likes to call it. Each replacement heifer is

scanned for ribeye area (REA) and intramuscular (IMF) data, and DNA is collected to assist with selection — this system ensures they keep the best of the best. “My suggestion to everyone would be to collect data on one point, collect your weaning weight on your calves and tie that weight back to its mother and its birth date,” Bruce says. “So you have averages of your herd and if you can cull that bottom 10% for five years, you’ve dramatically changed your herd without weighing cattle at birth or chasing carcass data. You’re going to make a difference right from the start.” Although the Mershons were slower to cull as they built herd numbers, they have reached a point where they can be more aggressive in selecting females. A detailed database has been critical in visualizing and identifying low and high performers. Ultimately, technology for tracking individual performance figures has been a game changer in overall herd improvement. “Embracing change and making change work to your benefit can sometimes be difficult for operations,” Tracey notes. “But I think we’ve always approached it with, ‘we can always learn, we’re never going to stop learning.’ If there’s something new out there we think fits and helps us improve and helps us to be more profitable and more productive, we’re going to take a look at it and see if there’s a way we can make it work in our operation.”

THE RIGHT FIT

Collectively, the Mershon herd has continued improvement each year, but the Mershons noticed a significant difference after introducing crossbreeding to the equation. About 10 years ago, they decided to opt back to crossbreeding, a time-honored tradition from which they had strayed. With regards to pursuing their philosophy of ranching one cow at a time, Hereford genetics were the ticket. “Hereford was the first place we went to, someplace we had been back when I was a child,” Bruce says. “We’re trying to create efficient, sustainable mothers that can survive on fescue and also produce a quality end product. Hereford allows us to do that.” Since switching from mostly straight Angus, their results have been twofold. In addition to above-average carcass data, the consistency of birth and yearling weights speaks volumes to the overall performance of their cattle. “We’ve created better model Bruce Mershon mothers with a better stay within the herd,” Bruce observes. “What

Typically, our conception rates run 90-96% when using KCF Hereford bulls, so we know those bulls are getting the job done.

“

The combination of performance and carcass merit, coupled with the ability to maintain body condition on fescue, takes us back to Knoll Crest year after year for our Hereford genetics, both semen and bulls. Bruce & Tracey Mershon

we’ve seen is that the crossbreds [are hardier] and we felt like we [have] developed better females that, in turn, produce better offspring, better steers, better feeding cattle.” “When we sell bred heifers at sales, it’s those black baldies that bring probably $100 more a pair than the other ones,” Tracey adds. “They’re always the most popular of those that we sell in the group. “I love when our black baldies go into the ring,” she continues. “Right away, people just start bidding on them.” Baldies have also proven optimal in converting Missouri’s native grasses to pounds. Operating in prime fescue country, cattle need to be up for the challenge of combating the toxic nature of those grasses. On top of that, cows must be able to slick off and handle the heat — 98 degrees and 85% humidity is “hot no matter where you’re at” as Bruce points out. “[Herefords] have a lot of guts to them,” he says. “They have to be able to consume vast amounts of forage and convert it in an efficient manner, and that’s probably one of the big things Herefords help bring to our program.”

VALIDATING THE MODEL

Sure and steady, Bruce and Tracey have built an admirable and sustainable framework — one that has been recognized by many of their peers in the beef industry. In mid-June, Bruce and Tracey found themselves in Brookings, S.D., in contention for the Commercial Producer of the Year award at the 51st annual Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) Annual Meeting and Research Symposium. Bruce and Tracey anxiously awaited the outcome as Mershon Cattle was highlighted alongside fellow finalists Blew Partnership, Hutchinson, Kan., and Larson Farms, Green, Kan. The competition was stiff — but as the lunchtime award ceremonies came to a close, Bruce and Tracey took home the honors. “We were tremendously honored to be nominated and honored to be a finalist, especially when we take a look at the other nominees and how impressive their operations are,” Tracey says. “I think it speaks a lot to what we’ve set out to do. We’re doing something different, but it’s still meaningful and it works.” Since the beginning, the Mershons have always been open to change as they envisioned the growth of the operation. They both agree the award confirms they are on the right track and are even more inspired to continue using emerging technologies to be better producers and better stewards. “It validates that what we’re doing helps improve our herd and the industry understands what we’re trying to accomplish,” Bruce says. “There’s nothing better than getting an award from the experts of our industry. It’s not just a popularity contest — it’s actually about what you’re doing and what you’re achieving, and makes this a special award.”

BUILT TO LAST

The Mershons are committed to building an elite herd that will be a model for the commercial industry. In tandem with building their herd’s longevity, they both uphold a key indicator of the operation’s long-term success is sustainability. Their business model is an example of their innovative approach. Bruce’s career as a commodity trader and working with an incentive program provided the logic in forming “pasture partners.” About half of the Mershon herd is housed on partnering pastures. These partners provide

forage and care on a daily fee basis year-round, while the Mershons provide the breeding stock, AI services, minerals, vaccines and other products. The Mershons pay their partners a daily fee with weaning incentives given on a graduated scale. It is a way to make sure cattle will be high yielding, with high carcass values and, in turn, rewards pasture partners for weaning a big calf. Still, as Tracey notes, “We’re mindful that it’s not about how much money you make or how big you are, but it’s how you sustain the business.” A big part of their operation’s success is their family’s support. “We have to thank our family and give a lot of credit to my brother who helped manage the day-to-day operations while we worked full-time jobs,” Bruce emphasizes. “My dad still checks the heifers when they’re calving in the middle of the night, and we couldn’t accomplish what we have without everyone’s help.” On top of sustaining the business, improving their community and the beef industry is extremely important to the Mershons. Both hold leadership positions either in agriculture or community organizations. They believe in leaving the community a better place than how they found it — the same mindset they employ with their business. Tracey, who also co-owns a small marketing communications consulting firm which services businesses and nonprofits in the greater Kansas City area, has taken her career knowledge to transform Mershon Cattle as an advocate for the benefits of beef cattle production. “Building on my background as a marketing communications professional, one of the goals I see for Mershon Cattle is to become more of a positive advocate for the beef industry,” she says. “Beef is an important and healthy product, and I think that is probably where an opportunity for us is going forward.” Raised in Colorado, Tracey did not grow up on a farm but is appreciative of the lessons agriculture instills. “That’s very rewarding and a lot of people don’t have that opportunity to really incorporate their family values into what they’re doing every single day,” she says. “That’s kind of the beauty of agriculture in many ways. I appreciate that and I want to protect it and see it grow.” The ranch has served as a strong foundation for Bruce and Tracey to instill values of leadership, family, integrity and work ethic in their three sons — Thomas, 29, Chris, 26, and David, 24. Growing up, the boys helped farm on weekends and during summers. Today, although all three are pursuing their own careers, they are paying attention to the opportunities which lie ahead. Bruce and Tracey hold an annual family meeting to update the boys and their spouses on the operation, Thomas facilitates an entrepreneurial strategic plan for Mershon Cattle and all three sons provide ideas to improve efficiencies using new technology. “What I love about what we’re doing is that Bruce and I are getting an opportunity to work together and to grow something we both passionately believe in,” Tracey says. “I enjoy having our family involved in it — our boys involved with it, my nephew involved and all of Bruce’s family.” Through leadership and involvement, the Mershons are dedicated to improving their operation, their land, their community and the beef industry every day, one cow at a time. “The exciting part is to see the evolution of what we’ve done, what we’ve accomplished, and how much better we are today than we were 15 years ago,” Bruce reflects. “I’m excited each day to get out and see if we can’t be better today than we were yesterday.” 1 Diane Meyer, “One Cow at a Time,” Hereford World, August 2019, 19-21.

Change and Innovation By James D. Bennett

Most of us in the seedstock cattle business would agree the two primary components are people and cattle. When I first became full time involved with registered cattle in partnership with my father in 1951, I would have said the primary component was cattle. Some years later, after cultivating and developing working relationships with customers and fellow cattle people, I recognized and gained appreciation that the primary component is people. Our cattle have served us well, but our success has been dependent on people, our customers, and fellow cattlemen. During the past 60+ years of my involvement in performance testing through our Virginia Beef Cattle Improvement Association and the National Beef Improvement Federation, plus operating the official Red House Bull Evaluation Center for 26 years, gave me the benefit of “having been there and done that” in the performance testing arena. Somehow, the recent advancements in new technology including genomic testing and Genomically Enhanced EPD makes performance testing less compatible with my historical experience. I realize and appreciate the next two generations (3rd and 4th) at Knoll Crest Farm can and will continue to use and benefit from the most recent cutting-edge technology in the advancement of the Knoll Crest Farm seedstock program. Yes, we have seen significant change since the early days when most of our performance data came from a balanced beam single animal scale with height measurement lines on a piece of plyboard attached to the back wall of the scales. In the past I have used the term, “Tradition is the greatest handicap to production Agriculture.” I would suggest our Land Grant College system has provided the leadership in the transition from Tradition to Innovation. Within the seedstock industry, especially the BCIA performance program at Virginia Tech, I have enjoyed and benefited from not only the working relationships but the friendships that have cultivated innovation and change. Having “been there and done that” leaves pleasant memories that occupy time and thought even while viewing taillights in the distance.

Serving the beef industry since 1944

KNOLL CREST FARM MATERNAL TRAITS Calving ease direct (CED): 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 (MILK): 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.

AGA EPD DICTIONARY Equipping commercial producers with all of the tools necessary to make a smart bull buying decisions requires the American Gelbvieh Association to provide background information on selection criteria. Below is an exhaustive list of the expected progeny differences (EPDs) and index values provided by the AGA along with a definition of each trait that is measured. Since AGA’s release of BOLTpowered EPDs on August 6, 2018, the majority of EPDs are BOLT EPDs, which means that Gelbvieh and Balancer® animals BOLT EPDs can be directly compared with other animals in the registries of other partner breed associations within the International Genetic Solutions (IGS) group. Gelbvieh and Balancer EPDs that are excluded from BOLT include: heifer pregnancy, 30-month pregnancy, and dry matter intake. The $Cow, efficiency profit index, and FPI™ indices are unique to the AGA and are not comparable across breeds.

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. INDEXES 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 + 1/2 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. 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. FPI™: An economic selection index, which stands for feeder profit index, is designed to aid producers in selecting sires whose progeny will perform in the feedlot and are 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.

SALE DAY PHONE: (434) 376-3567 TELO-AUCTION PHONE :

1-800-309-2350 (Conference ID number: 4505514#)

VIDEO AUCTION FORMAT With the technology available we feel we can still have a “live” auction without a bull standing in the ring. This will allow us to place less stress on livestock and the crew handling them. Instead, we will have video footage of each and every bull prerecorded to play in the sale ring as the bulls are auctioned off. Video footage of the bulls will be available on www.knollcrestfarm.com about November 13, 2019. Bulls will be sorted and available for viewing on sale day. If you would like to view the bulls at the farm prior to the sale day, please give us a call and we would be glad to accommodate your request. Live audio and prerecorded video footage will also be available on www. LiveAuctions.TV for buyers to bid on that are unable to be at the auction on sale day. We will also be providing our teloauction service as we have in years past.
