Gibbs Angus Ranch Performance on the Prairie
The Gibbs Family welcomes you to the annual “Performance on the Prairie” bull sale. This year we will be offering 55 yearling Angus bulls. The sale offering this year will include bulls sired by: KG Justified, Sitz Stellar, SAV Rainfall, Ruggles Charisma, Tehama Tahoe and Tehama Patriarch. We have successfully used all of these AI sires as heifer bulls. We will again be offering commercial calves; we are always pleased with how they perform alongside their counterparts. We continue to raise our own herd sires; this gives us the ability to monitor how they perform in our environment.
All calves are born unassisted and all of them were born to cows bred in the first breeding cycle. We feel these two factors are very important for herd fertility. All of the bulls are born, raised and developed at the ranch.

We have always taken pride in providing carcass information. When selecting genetics, we have worked very diligently to select for high feed efficiency and good carcass genetics; in particular, marbling, for many years. In the early 90s, our quest for high marbling genetics began with VDAR New Trend 315. In 1992, we added New Design 036. In 1999 we added new Design 878 (he also turned out to he a great cow maker). As the industry began to focus on feed efficiency, it turned out that these bulls were in the top %2 of the breed for DMI (Dry Matter Intake), which translates to high feed efficiency. We believe the focus on DMI has led our cow herd to be easy fleshing. These genetics are the base for our herd, which we have been working to improve continuously ever since. In the long run, beef consumers are looking for high quality (high marbling) product on their plate, one that got there using the least amount of resources as possible. With our proven high marbling genetics from our carcass information obtained from the feedlots, we have begun to accomplish what we set out to do, and we believe it has been proven that high marbling beef is continuously sought after and preferred.
All of the bulls will be fertility tested BEFORE the sale. Performance records and final weights will be available sale day. Please note final weights and scrotals are ACTUAL and not adjusted. We are offering $75 off per bull purchased if you take your bull(s) home sale day. Otherwise, we plan to start delivering bulls the day after the sale. Please note, the sale is on a Friday this year. Many of the bull sale reports are showing all of the bulls selling; there may not be many extra bulls to purchase by the end of bull sale season. If you would like to purchase a bull but are unable to make it to the sale, please contact either one of the sales reps (listed on previous page), Tim, Megan or Glendive Livestock Exchange to place your bid. Please contact us if you have any questions or would like any additional photos or videos of the bulls.
We count every one of you as a friend and we have been blessed in our relationships with all of you over the years. We look forward to continuing and improving those relationships in the years to come and we appreciate your continued support of our program. As always, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to give Tim a call; be sure to check out our Facebook page, Gibbs Angus Ranch, for regular updates on the sale and ranch happenings. We look forward to seeing you on sale day, and God Bless!!

CARING FOR YOUR NEW BULL
Remember, these bulls are yearlings and still have a lot of growing to do. It may be a good idea to feed them a growing ration until the start of breeding season. We recommend about a 60 day breeding season with a mating load of around 20 females. It’s a good idea to supplement the bull after breeding season for 60 days, to prepare him for winter.
ANGUS SELECTION TOOLS
EXPECTED PROGENY DIFFERENCE (EPD): is the prediction of how future progeny of each animal are expected to perform relative to the progeny of other animals listed in the database. EPDs are expressed in units of measure for the trait, plus or minus. Interim EPDs may appear on young animals when their performance has yet to be incorporated into the American Angus Association National Cattle Evaluation (NCE) procedures. This EPD will be preceded by an “I” and may or may not include the animal’s own performance record for a particular trait, depending on its availability, appropriate contemporary grouping, or data edits needed for NCE.
Birth Weight EPD (BW): expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit birth weight to his progeny compared to that of other sires.
Weaning Weight EPD (WW): expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit weaning growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires.
Yearling Weight EPD (YW): expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit yearling growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires.
Calving Ease Direct (CED): 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.
Maternal Milk EPD (Milk): is a predictor of a sire’s genetic merit for milk and mothering ability as expressed in his daughters compared to daughters of other sires. In other words, it is that part of a calf’s weaning weight attributed to milk and mothering ability.
Marbling EPD (Marb): expressed as a fraction of the difference in USDA marbling score of a sires progeny compared to progeny of other sires.
Ribeye Area EPD (RE): expressed in square inches, is a predictor of the difference in ribeye area of a sires progeny compared to progeny of other sires.
Weaned Calf Value ($W): An index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for preweaning merit. $W includes both revenue and cost adjustment associated with differences in birth weight, weaning direct growth, maternal milk and mature cow size.
Beef Value ($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.
