2023 - Arrow One Angus 20th Annual Bull Sale

WELCOME

Wayne and I would like to invite you to our 20th annual bull sale on Sunday, April 16th, 2023 at 3:00 central time. We will be serving refreshments after the sale. We thank our customers, friends and family for your loyal support over the years we have been in the Angus business.

We have kept the bulls on a slower growing pace in order to keep soundness and longevity in check. Our cattle have been

on a complete vaccination program with Stockman Vet Clinic and are semen checked and tested BVD Negative. The feed program the bulls are on is corn screenings, distillers and a hay mix ration. The bulls were ultrasounded on February 10th, 2023. As always, our goal is stout, long bodied cattle with extra muscle and top, fertility, good feet and total performance maternal traits for profitability. We are offering several calving ease bulls in the sale this year. The bulls come with our breeding and soundness guarantee. We feel the steer and heifer mates from our customer calves that we buy and feed are a better tool to measure the performance in our genetics. Customer satisfaction is as important to us as the cattle we sell. Our program goal is to work with our customers more than just on sale day. We stay active in marketing and breeding our Angus cattle.

Wayne and I are very thankful to each of you, we do not take for granted the importance of all our friends, family, and loyal customers that have attended our sales through the years. We personally would like to say THANK YOU! We value your input and your support of our program.

Sincerely,

Wayne and Dona Rundback

Angus EPD Definitions

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 (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 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.

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 sire's 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 sire's progeny compared to progeny of other sires.

All bulls will be fertilty tested and will sell as guaranteed breeders!

Angus $Value Definitions

Maternal Weaned Calf Value ($M) , an index, expressed in dollars per head, predicts profitability differences from conception to weaning with the underlying breeding objective assuming that individuals retain their own replacement females within herd and sell the rest of the cull female and all male progeny as feeder calves. The model assumes commercial producers will replace 25% of their breeding females in the first generation and 20% of their breeding females in each subsequent generation. Traits included are as follows: calving ease direct, calving ease maternal, weaning weight, milk, heifer pregnancy, docility, mature cow weight, claw set and foot angle.

Weaned Calf Value ($W), an index, expressed in dollars per head, to predict profitability differences in progeny due to genetics from birth to weaning. The underlying objective being producers will retain 20% of the female progeny as replacements and sell the rest of the cull females and their male counterparts as feeder calves. Traits included are as follows (in no particular order): birth weight, weaning weight, milk, and mature cow weight.

Feedlot Value ($F) , an index, expressed in dollars per head, to predict profitability differences in progeny due to genetics for postweaning feedlot merit compared to the progeny of other sires. The underlying objective assumes producers will retain ownership of cattle through the feedlot phase and sell fed cattle on a carcass weight basis, but with no consideration of premiums or discounts for quality and yield grade. Traits contributing directly to the index are as follows: yearling weight (gain), carcass weight and dry-matter intake.

Beef Value ($B), a terminal index, expressed in dollars per carcass, to predict profitability differences in progeny due to genetics for postweaning and carcass traits. This terminal index assumes commercial producers wean all male and female progeny, retain ownership of these animals through the feedlot phase and market these animals on a carcass grid. Traits included in the index are as follows: yearling weight, dry-matter intake, marbling, carcass weight, ribeye area and fat.

Combined Value ($C) , an index, expressed in dollars per head, which includes all traits that make up both Maternal Weaned Calf Value ($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. The remaining cull heifer and steer progeny are then assumed to be sent to the feedlot where the producers retain ownership of those cattle and sell them on a quality-based carcass merit grid. Expected progeny differences (EPDs) directly influencing a combined index: calving ease direct (CED) and maternal (CEM), weaning weight (WW), yearling weight (YW), maternal milk (Milk), heifer pregnancy (HP), docility (DOC), mature cow weight (MW), foot angle (Angle), claw set (Claw), dry matter intake (DMI), marbling (Marb), carcass weight (CW), ribeye area (RE) and fat thickness (Fat).
