Progressive Beef Producers:

Welcome to the 22nd Profit Proven Gardiner-Influenced Commercial Replacement Female Sale. The commercial producers participating in this sale represent some of the most progressive, most disciplined and most committed ranchers in America today. Each of these family operations have at least a decade of GAR-Influence and most have multiple decades and even generations. A common thread in each of their operations is they know what makes money in the beef business. All are diversified and have skin in the game throughout production, including retaining ownership on their fed cattle. They understand the importance of Method Genetics EPDs and indexes and have used the information along with in-herd performance, cattle feeding, and grid closeouts to benchmark consistent improvements.

The females offered in this sale are the product of years of disciplined selection for all the traits of economic importance. Professional cattle producers tend to stay focused, they understand the markets and continue to seek opportunities to add value to their product. As most everyone knows, good replacements and producing cows are hard to find. The opportunity to add elite genetics, in volume, sired by or bred to the Angus breed’s most proven AI sires is unprecedented.

This sale will begin with 32 two-year-old cows with fall calves at side. The pairs are ready to go and the cows will be ready to breed. The Profit Proven group has assembled 188 AI bred heifers, with an average Method Genetics ROI of 236, bred to Powercat, Transcendent, Turbo, Apex, Full Throttle, Pringle, Acceleration and Fireproof. The 256 bull bred heifers are safe in calf to sons of those same AI sires and the entire group Method Genetics average for ROI is 235. For any cow buyers, don’t sleep on the 225 proven, producing cows, both AI and bull breds, with an average ROI of 213. We often talk about genetic acceleration. The 77 open fall heifers are a very special group of elite genetics, average ROI of 251, with exciting potential, depending upon a new buyer’s marketing strategies.

We think it’s worth noting, in the era of genetic acceleration, all of these females have extraordinary value. While we all strive to achieve 100% conception rates in our herds, understanding the value of these females throughout all production sectors is important. Since 2017, we have charted the closeout performance on all our home-raised steers and heifers as well as our customers that have sold through U.S. Premium Beef. From 2017 to Oct. 8, 2024, we have charted 4,869 heifers, that have graded 99.26% USDA Choice and higher, 47.03% Prime, earned $174.28 per head premium above the cash market for a total of $848,571 in real dollars returned to the owner of the cattle. Just a reminder—this data is on fed heifers only charted from 2017 to Oct. 2024!

GARDINER ANGUS RANCH GRID SUMMARY • APRIL 2017—OCT. 2024

We hope you will plan to join us Monday, November 25, beginning at 12 noon. The cattle will sell on Superior Video. If you have questions or would like to see the cattle before the sale, I encourage you to contact the owners directly. The cattle will not be on site sale day. If I can be of any assistance, please free to contact me.

Thanks for your interest,

Mark Gardiner

The Method Matters

2024 Profit Proven Average Method Genetics EPDs & Indexes for Commercial Heifers

METHOD GENETICS® CHOICE EPD AND SELECTION INDEX KEY

CARCASS WEIGHT (CW): The carcass weight EPD is reported in pounds of harvest carcass weight. As with other weight traits, selection for weight genetics is moderately to highly heritable and will lead to increased directional genetic change in pounds. The CW EPD has contributions not only from the genotyped calves, but harvest carcass records, ultrasound indicator trait results, and available pedigree.

MARBLING (MARB): Marbling EPDs are reported in harvest marbling score units, with a higher value being more favorable.

RIBEYE AREA (REA): The ribeye area EPD, with a higher value as the typical desired direction, can be used to place selection pressure on this trait to impact red meat yield.

CALVING EASE DIRECT (CED): Reported as a percentage of unassisted calvings, this EPD is used to select favorable calving ease genetics for use in matings to first calf heifers. The value is more noted for sire selection. In Angus-influenced herds that have heavily emphasized calving ease genetics, selection pressure for this trait may or may not be a priority. A higher value is more favorable. For example if there was a 5 percentage point difference between to animals (+10 vs +5), one would expect 5 more calves out of 100 to be born unassisted in future progeny, to favor choosing the animal with the CED of +10.

DOCILITY (DOC): Docility is reported as a convenience trait with a higher value favoring more docile temperament. Reported in percentage units, these EPDs can be used as an accessory sorting tool as needed.

CALVING EASE MATERNAL (CEM): This EPD is applicable to calves out of daughters of first-calf heifers and their unassisted calving percentage difference relative to other individuals. Again, as with CED, a higher value is more favorable and reported in units of percent.

MATERNAL PRODUCTION INDEX (MPI): The Maternal Production Index is reported in dollars per calf produced from the breeding herd with Angus-based genetics. It encompasses direct and maternal calving ease, heifer pregnancy, weaning growth, maternal milk, and mature size differences in a scenario where replacement females are retained and calves are marketed at weaning.

QUALITY POUNDS INDEX (QPI): The Quality Pounds Index is reported in dollars per calf for herds with Angus-based genetics. It focuses on the terminal side of the herd’s business for feedlot gain and carcass merit genetic differences. There are no provisions for calving ease or maternal traits, with the assumption that all calves are under a retained ownership scenario fed out and marketed on a premium quality-based grid.

RETAINED OWNERSHIP INCOME (ROI): Cattle producers interested in a complete production system approach from conception through carcass end-point should use the Retained Ownership Income index ties together reproduction, calving ease, maternal genetic merit, growth throughout the calf’s lifetime, and quality based carcass merit in an Angus-based herd. The ROI is reported in dollars per calf produced in the herd, and consolidates the sub-indexes of MPI and QPI.

METHOD GENETICS EPD AND INDEX PERCENTILE RANKS (%) are a numeric ranking of the animal’s EPD and Index values on a 1% to 100% scale. For most traits a lower numeric value is considered more favorable, such as for CED EPD. For example, a 25% presented with an EPD indicates that animal is in the upper 25 percent of the animals in the Method Genetics evaluation for calves born in the last five years.
