WELCOME TO OUR 13TH ANNUAL SUN COUNTRY BULL & FEMALE SALE We would like to welcome you to our 13th annual sale. Since the day we decided to establish this sale, our goal has been to produce sound, productive and easily managed breeding stock that can work for commercial and purebred producers alike. Since starting this sale, over 90 % of our bulls have sold to commercial producers and it was one of our goals to be able to provide Shorthorn genetics to a wide base of commercial producers. This year’s bull offering is the deepest set we have ever offered. All the consignors have only offered their best. If you are looking for another herd sire or are thinking of replacing an older herd bull, the bulls in this sale are a definite buyer opportunity! 2019 brought many challenges for agriculture producers in general, but cattle markets have remained strong and market forecasts are showing this to continue into the foreseeable future. With higher costs of feed supplies, easy fleshing, sound genetics is more important than ever. Producing the highest quality product we can is important, as nothing holds it value more than quality. Demand for Shorthorn F1 females is a market that is relatively undeveloped yet, as we find that many of our commercial bull buyers plan on keeping their heifers from these bulls, as replacements in their own herds. A few years ago, we decided to add some replacement heifers to this sale. This has been a very positive decision, and these heifers have been popular with commercial and purebred producers as well. We are pleased to have another excellent set of replacements in this year’s sale offering as well. We are very pleased to have DV Auctions providing live broadcast of our sale again this year. It will be broadcast at www.dvauctions.com. It Is always best if you can attend the sale in person, but if you can’t, you can still watch the sale and bid from your home computer. Also, as usual, we will have a group of very knowledgeable sale representatives who will be ready to give you their honest opinion and even handle your bids if you wish them to do so. The bulls and heifers offered in this year’s sale is one of the strongest sets we have ever offered in this sale. The quality is very deep so plan to spend some time going through them and selecting which ones are best suited to help your herd. As we get closer to sale day, we will be posting additional information on our websites and facebook pages. We will also be posting short videos of the sale cattle closer to sale day so you can see how they developed since they were pictured in mid January. We are again offering to take these bulls and heifers back to our farms and keep them for a reasonable length of time until shipping arrangements can be made. We hope we will see you on March 10th. Plan to come early for a complimentary lunch and visit with other cattle producers. Grant Alexander (for the Sun Country group

SUN COUNTRY PHILOSOPHY... • We develop our bulls for optimum growth … not maximum growth. The bulls in this sale will be athletic, sound and ready to work. • Each contributor has culled their bulls on soundness and only the best are being offered. Each animal has been selected for this sale on it’s own merit and they all have to meet our expectations first. • We will provide useful information on the sale offering. Because our sale has moved earlier in March, all bulls born prior to January 1,2019 will be semen evaluated and have passed the test by a licenced Veterinarian. Bulls born in 2019, will have a physical breeding soundness exam and will be deemed likely to pass a semen evaluation . All bulls will be semen tested prior to shipment. • All buyers are encouraged to purchase insurance on the bulls in order to protect your investment. If the bulls are returning to our farms for a period of time before shipping can be arranged or until you want them, we would ask that they be insured. • We believe in customer service. We will try to make your bull and heifer buying experience as good as possible. We will, wherever possible, assist in arranging transportation of your purchases. •We will keep your purchases free of charge until April 15th, after which you will be charged for the cost of the feed consumed (unless previous arrangements have been made with the seller). All bulls and heifers returning to our farms MUST be insured. Please read our bull warranty and, if you have any questions, please ask any of the owners. An insurance agent will be available on sale day. • Every bull selling is guaranteed to be free of the TH and PHA defects. They have either been tested or verified free by pedigree. • Nobody knows these bulls and their backgrounds as well as the owners do. We would be pleased to answer any questions you have in a honest and no pressure manner. Once you have the information you need, can make the best decision on what bulls or heifers will work best for your herd.

Owned by Horseshoe Creek and Martyn Moore in England. This bull is a tank! His dam is unique in her physical appearance - there is no female in the breed that matches her on paper. She combines calving ease, low BW, WW, YW, stayability marbling and carcass - she stands alone as a leader in all these traits. His sire, Qantas 2B is a complete outcross sire, bred in the Marellan herd in Australia. 3G is packed full of meat and he is an outcross to most bloodlines today. You will travel a lot of miles to find a bull like Gold Card. BW 90 lbs unassisted.

This is the closest thing to his sire, Cruiser that we have produced. Take a look at his 73 lb BW! He is moderate framed and has as much style as any bull we have offered in a very long time. He won his class at Agribition last fall, and we had cattle producers from several other breeds come to see him. He continues to impress and he continues to get better every day. BW 73 lbs unassisted.

We chose this picture of 59C because it basically shows what he is about. Thick topped, thick butted, great hair, moderate frame, structural soundness. He is younger, but he has everything a good herd bull needs. With an 83 lb BW, he should be able to be used on cows or heifers.

50G is a bull with some of the top maternal lineage in the country on both sides of his pedigree. We thought enough of him to be part of our show string last fall where he was a standout bull calf at Agribition. He won his class and the was the heaviest bull calf in the barn. His full brother, ACC Excel 12E, was 2018 Agribition and National Champion. Excel was retained to use in-herd but we sadly lost him due to an injury, before breeding. George is attractive in his design and deep bodied, carrying the extension though his front end. His dam Uppity Baroness 31U has left her mark here over her first 11 years, and still, at 12 years of age carries a flawless udder and structure. 31U is currently in our flush program. You can bid on George with the confidence of the Candy’s and Baroness’ behind him. He is made right to go out and work in any herd. BW 103 lbs.

C A T T L E

The “new” North American Shorthorn Genetic Evaluation is now finally completed and you will notice a difference between today’s EPDs and those in past years. These EPDs were completed by the American Simmental Association as part of their multi- breed genetic evaluation. These EPDS now have the same “base” as Simmental, Red Angus, Gelbvieh and a growing number of other breeds. As a result, our EPDs can now be compared with these breeds. This means that bull and female buyers can search for genetics from multiple breeds and compare the performance profiles against one another.

Birth Weight (BW)

At the basic level, birth weight is nothing more than an indicator trait for calving ease, but the emphasis on birth weight can be overdone. Economically, over selecting for low birth weights can take us in the wrong direction; cattle still sell by the pound. Use BW EPD in conjunction with calving ease. Phenotypic traits like length of body, shoulder design, head shape, circumference of bone and even frame score play a significant role in determining birth weights and calving ease.

C O M P A N Y

Weaning Weights (WW)

Put simply, weaning weight is the ability of a bull’s calf to dry off, stagger to its feet, and grow like mad. Finding a sire with a strong WW that also excels in other economically relevant traits important to your breeding program is a key element to success.

2019 Shorthorn Breed Average EPDs BW

Milk

1.6

Yearling Weight (YW)

This trait is economically important since it is more indicative of growth potential through market weights taken early in the animals life. Single trait selection for YW can lead to serious problems that can affect bottom line profit. Mature must be monitored when selecting a bull for performance via YW EPD. Cow maintenance costs, calving difficulty, and even breeding problems can result. YW EPDs can be very influential if you understand your environment conditions or if you are retaining ownership in your calves from birth to slaughter.

A bull’s Milk EPD is determined by his daughter’s ability to wean heavier calves than her contemporaries. Just because a cow weans a heavier calf each year does not necessarily mean her Milk EPD should be the highest in the herd. The performance of her calf can also be attributed to the dam’s or sire’s growth genetics or a number of environmental factors. Milk EPDs can be too high for your environmental conditions especially in severe environmental conditions and can have a negative impact on rebreeding rates.

How Much Can you Afford to Pay for a Better Bull? Increase in pounds per calf from a top performance bull X Number of cows bred to him each year X Number of years to keep the bull X Expected selling price of calves = Additional dollars you can pay for a better bull Example: A bull that will add an additional 30 lbs to the weaning weight of each of his calves mated to 25 cows per year for 4 years and if you sell the calves at $2.50/ lb 30X 25 = 750 lbs x 4 years=3000 additional lbs X $2.50/ lb = $7500.00 This bull is worth $7500 more than the average bull who will keep your weaning weights the same. Take this formula and put in your own figures. Source: Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association

L T D

Bull Warranty We guarantee to provide you with a sound, fertile bull, capable of servicing a reasonable number of cows. In the event that your bull is a non-satisfactory breeder, the seller will not, under any circumstances, be responsible for more than the original selling price of any bull sold in the sale. The consignors will not provide replacement or credit for any physical injury or mismanagement. Therefore, we stress the importance of insurance on your bull. An insurance agent will be available on sale day. We also realize that breeding season is also a very busy time on most farms. We would ask that you check your new bulls periodically, so that if there are problems, we can hear about them sooner rather than later. This is equally important for the bull buyer as well. If your bull is not breeding, or becomes injured, it is important to resolve the problem as soon as possible in the breeding season.

Cruiser has been a most unique bull since birth and he was our high selling bull in 2016 at $16,500.
