Your Source for

RANCH READYBulls We would like to welcome you to our 21st Bull Sale. First a big thank you goes out to all our buyers from past sales. We truly appreciate all of you. Our repeat customers have been very loyal with several buying for 20 years. That is proof that our bulls work in the commercial cattle industry.

2021 was a year for the books with severe drought and the ongoing pandemic.

Here is hoping that 2022 brings rain and higher cattle prices. The bulls did well for as dry as it was last summer, which is a testament to our cow herd. We have developed the herd to take care of themselves with minimal inputs, while still putting on pounds. These bulls will sire calves that will do the same.

Due to the challenging year and the feed situation everyone is in, we will feed the bulls free of charge until May 1st. We will offer a $50 discount on bulls taken home directly after the sale and will offer free delivery to South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, and will work with buyers from other states.

Thank you for the continued interest in our programs.

LOT 27

“My name is Michael Nathe, and I operate a 300 head cow-calf pair operation in Northeast Montana.

Winters are harsh, plenty of wind and sub-zero temperatures. The cattle we run here must be tough and sure footed. Steep hills and native grass are their habitat, and we pasture calve every cow except first calf heifers. I started buying Erickson bulls years ago because of their ability to fit into my operation and not break down in pasture. Sound feet and easy keeping, these Erickson bulls have lasted many years in my herd with no special care to get them through winter. The ability for my cattle to have a vigorous calf from an easy birth is crucial to me. These Erickson bulls have helped give me that healthy calf, as well as provide me with excellent replacement heifers and an increase in weaning weights of 125 pounds over the last ten years. I stand by their quality and reputation.”

- Michael Nathe, Montana 9

YOUR SOURCE THR 8522F The 8522 cattle have been the best all around sire I have used. His calves come easy with a lot of vigor at birth, then take off and grow.

His first daughters look to have great udder quality and an awesome temperament. We bred a set of commercial Angus heifers to him and had no problems, with the calves weighing an average of 79# at birth. The bulls are impressive in their muscle shape and overall stoutness. They have spring of rib and are long bodied. He sired our high selling set of bulls last year.

to using EPDs

Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs): EPDs are 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 and B have EPDs of +10 and -5, a 15-unit difference would be expected in their progeny (moving from -5 to +10 yields 15 units). Key to using EPDs is knowing in what units they are expressed.

For example, if the above case referred to weaning weight EPDs, sire A would be expected to sire 15 pounds more weaning weight than sire B. If calving ease was the trait, sire A would be expected to sire 15 percent more unassisted births in first-calf heifers; in other words, if sire B sired 30 assists in a group of 100 heifers, we would expect sire 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. For more detailed information about EPDs and $ indexes, visit www.simmental.org.

Listed below are the units in which ASA EPDs are expressed:

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

Milk (MLK): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk.

Marbling (MRB): Carcass marbling score at 475 days.

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

Ribeye Area (REA): Square inches of carcass ribeye at 475 days.

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

All-Purpose Index (API): Dollars per cow exposed under an all-purpose-sire scenario. (See $ Indexes for more details.)

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

(See TI for more details.)

Back Fat (BF): Inches of carcass backfat at 475 days.

Warner-Bratzler Shear Force (WBSF): Pounds of force required to shear a rib-eye steak.

Birth Weight (BW): Pounds of birth weight.

Calving Ease (CE): Percent of unassisted births when used on heifers.

Carcass Weight (CW): Pounds of carcass weight at 475 days.

Docility (DOC): Percent of offspring receiving a disposition score of 1 (docile).

Weaning Weight (WW): Pounds of weaning weight.

Yearling Weight (YW): Pounds of yearling weight.

Yield Grade (YG): Carcass yield grade score at 475 days.

$ Indexes: Though EPDs allow for the comparison of genetic levels for many economically important traits, they only provide pieces of the economic puzzle. This is where $ indexes come in. Through well-conceived, rigorous mathematical computation, $ indexes blend EPDs and economics to estimate an animal’s overall impact on integrated commercial production. The same technology that led to the dramatic progress in swine, poultry and dairy genetics over the last several decades was used to develop the following $ indexes: All-Purpose Index (API): Evaluates sires for use on the entire cow herd (bred to both Angus first-calf heifers and mature cows) with the portion of their daughters required to maintain herd size retained and the remaining heifers and steers put on feed and sold grade and yield.

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

Using API and TI: First, determine which index to use; if you are keeping replacements use API, if not, use TI. Then, just as with EPDs, zero in on the unit difference between bulls. (As described above, index units are in dollars per cow exposed.) The difference can be used to determine how much a bull is worth compared to another. 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 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 more detailed information about EPDs and $ indexes, visit: www. simmental.org Important disclaimer: DO NOT compare index values of purebreds of different breeds, hybrids of different breed composition or purebreds with hybrids — our system was not developed to make valid comparison among these groups. Therefore, you must first determine the breed and breed composition appropriate for your herd and use index values to compare animals within that population.
