Meinders Stock Farms 2023 Spring Sale

2023 Spring Sale 35 Bulls & 15 Heifers

Saturday, April 29, 2023, at 5:00 p.m.

Meinders Calving Barn • Buffalo Center, IA Angus • Simmental • Red Angus • Charolais

Cattlemen, Welcome to the second annual Meinders Stock Farms Spring Sale! We are excited about our offering of Angus, SimAngus, Red Angus and Charolais bulls and yearling heifers! We aim to be a one-stop-shop for your bull and female needs, by offering multiple breeds that can meet any herd’s needs. We are very focused on building cattle who have balanced EPDs with an emphasis on moderate cow size, feed efficiency, and marbling.

For the past ten years, we have been marketing our bulls through Leachman Cattle of Colorado.

We are still sending our Stabilizer bulls to Colorado, but have decided to market our registered cattle here in Iowa! With Leachman, we were introduced to their $Profit, $Ranch, and $Feeder indexes which have helped us improve our herd at a rapid pace. $Profit is the best index in the industry and all our cattle will sell with this index. We encourage you to read more about $Profit later in the catalog and we believe that it will greatly help you with your selections.

All cattle in the sale have been feed efficiency tested, which is unique data that most seedstock producers do not offer. Feed consumption is the #1 driver of cost in the cow herd and must be taken into consideration, especially with today’s feed prices. We try to collect as much data as possible to help you make the best decisions for your herd on sale day. Every animal in the sale will also sell with genomically enhanced EPDs. We are also excited to offer a calf buy-back program on all calves sired by bulls bought in our sale! We have great confidence in our genetics and will gladly pay premiums for those calves.

Those premiums will be paid based on the $Feeder indexes of the bulls, so the better bulls you buy, the higher the premium we will pay! Contact us for more information on that opportunity!

We hope to see you on sale day!

Meinders Stock Farms Calf Buy-Back Program We will pay you a premium for your Meinders Stock Farms sired feeder calves!

• Premiums will be paid above a beyond the “top” of our regional feeder calf sales.

• Premiums will be determined by the $Feeder index of the bulls you buy!

• Benchmark your herd by DNA testing your replacement heifers with Inherit Select.

• Vaccinate your calves with our recommended herd health protocol.

• Drop off your calves on one of our designated delivery days.

• Receive data on your calves after they are harvested and sold on the grid.

Calf Buy-Back Example

John has just begun buying Meinders Stock Farms bulls. We are going to assume he has been using bulls at industry average for $Feeder, which is $62. The new MSF bulls he has bought average $262 $Feeder (about the average Angus bull in the sale). We expect those bulls to add about $200/head ($262-$62) of genetic value to John’s calves. MSF will pay out 50% of that added genetic value as a premium which would be $100/head on this set! If John has 100 calves to sell, that’s $10,000 in Premiums!

If John’s bulls averaged $312 $Feeder, the math would be $312-$62=$250. 50% of that would be a $125/head premium MSF would pay.

As John buys more and more MSF bulls over the years, we will give more credit to his herd’s $Feeder which will result in higher future premiums. Better yet, if John DNA tests his herd with Zoetis Inherit genomic test to get EPDs on his females, we can learn exactly where his cow herd is genetically!

Updated Breeding Season Guarantee!

Effective Sept 1st, 2021

Meinders Stock Farms is offering a 90 day breeding season guarantee, starting the first day of turnout, on all bulls that we sell.

This guarantee will cover your purchased bull(s) against death, injury, infertility, and loss of use. If, during the first season, you lose the use of your Meinders bull for whatever reason, we will give you a credit towards the purchase of a new bull. We only ask that your herd veterinarian provide a written statement describing the death, injury, or infertility. If the bull in question can be salvaged, we would like you to keep the salvage value, and a credit will be issued, less the salvage amount you receive for the bull. If the bull is turned out for breeding, then the credit will be given at 75% of the original purchase value (less any salvage value). All claims must be made within 1 year from the date of purchase and cannot exceed the greater of 2 bulls per invoice or 15% of the total invoice.

Example 1: Your $5,000 bull dies before you turn him out to breed. You receive a full credit of $5,000. (Purchase Price - $0 Salvage - $0 Use).

Example 2: Your $5,000 bull injures his scrotum after you pull him from the cows. You sell him for $1000 in salvage. You receive a credit of $2,750 ($5000 purchase - $1000 salvage - $1250 usage).

Requirements for claims: 1.

All claims must be made within 365 days of purchase.

2.

A veterinary statement regarding the circumstances is required.

3.

A verbal agreement from Meinders Stock Farms is required prior to a bull being sold for salvage. Documentation of the salvage value of the bull, including identification of the bull on the sale barn ticket, that corresponds to the bulls Meinders identifications (ear tag or metal clip) is also required.

This credit can be used for the purchase of bulls, females, semen, and/or embryos from Meinders Stock Farms. If the credit is not used within 24 months of the date of issuance, then it will expire.

Note: Guarantee will be revoked on all bulls that are not paid for within 30 days of invoice date.

$PROFIT

®

Are all small cows really efficient? There seems to be a big disconnect in today’s beef industry. On sale day we want heavy, high quality steers to pay the bills. The rest of the time we want efficient cows to keep our costs as low as possible. Simply selecting for smaller cows with no regard for feed efficiency is not the answer. Likewise, selecting for shear growth with disregard for cost is just as poor of a strategy. The best way to make your cowherd truly efficient, and your calf crop earn more, is to use Leachman $Profit®. This is the only index in the industry that works on both sides of the ledger (production AND cost). Cows that work! Steers that pay!

How $Profit ® Works

What Traits are Included in $Profit ®

$Profit assumes that the average commercial bull will have 100 progeny over its lifetime. The model assumes that you keep 30% of your heifers as replacements and that you retain ownership on the remainder of the calves through finishing and sell on a grid. We realize that many don’t retain ownership, but doesn’t it make the most sense to select from birth all the way to slaughter? Feedlots have already proven their willingness to pay premiums for superior Leachman sired calves.

Our simulation model then factors in all of the effects on both income and expense to come up with a net profit figure for each bull. $Profit allows you to compare any two bulls and calculate the difference in profit that they are expected to generate in your herd. Let’s compare a $10,000 $Profit bull to $6,000 $Profit bull (the average 2008 born Angus bull). The predicted difference between the bulls is $4,000 or about $40 per calf. $Profit works for us and it will work for you too.

$Profit includes nearly every trait that impacts profitability.

The effect of most traits on profit is fairly simple to understand.

Here is the list of what is included and its effect:

Revenue Traits ▪ Calving ease = more calves ▪ Weaning and yearling EPD = more weight ▪ Cow Fertility = more calves at weaning ▪ Carcass weight = worth more up to 1050 lbs.

▪ Marbling = valued based on grid premiums ▪ Ribeye area = value as impacts yield grade ▪ % Retail Product = more yield is more meat Cost Traits ▪ Cow mature size = in general bigger eats more ▪ Cow intake = more intake costs more ▪ Feedlot feed efficiency = cost of gain Some traits are not so easily characterized for $Profit. Milk, for example, is a good thing until you get too much. When over +25, milk EPD has a more negative effect on fertility than it has a positive effect on weaning weight. There are a few traits not yet included in $Profit: udder, structure, and disposition. These traits are important but difficult to express in dollars.

Star System Explained

Calving Ease: The predicted calving ease if you use the bull on heifers.

Good qqq  The easiest calving bulls in the industry.  Use on smaller heifers with minimal assistance needed.

Better qqqq  Use on larger heifers with some assistance expected.

Best qqqqq (If no stars are shown, the animal is recommended for use on cows only.)

Maternal: An estimate of the maternal efficiency of the daughters this bull will produce.

It includes cow size, milk, udder quality, fertility/longevity, growth, feed efficiency/intake and calving ease.  Keep these heifers! They will make the most profitable females in the business.

Cow Fert: An estimate of the amount of calves the daughters will have in their lifetime.  Will produce about 2 more calves in their life time than 1-Star fertility. This translates into a probable advantage in calf crop percentage of nearly 20%!

Udder: An estimate of the daughter’s udder quality.  Thumb size teats and tight bag suspension.

Growth: A formula combines WW and YW to predict how much performance the bull will pass on to their progeny.  Most growth.

Feed/Carc: A formula that combines: gain, conversion, carcass weight and carcass merit to predict post weaning performance.  Maximum overall value in your feeder calves.

Feet: An observation of the bull’s claw shape.  Average, 4 & 5 star will improve you herd.

Disposition: An observation of the bull’s disposition.  Average - respects flight zones and handles well, but is not a pet.

Pheno: An observation of the bull’s type and kind.  Average - 4 and 5 star bulls will add phenotype.

Leachman Financial Indexes Allow You to HAVE IT ALL! $Ranch ® – Profit from birth through weaning. Includes: • Fertility, Milk, Growth • Cow feed intake and mature size

$Feeder ® – Profit from weaning to harvest. Includes: • Feed conversion • Carcass value • Carcass weight

$ Indexes Explained

Good Better Best % Rank Average Top 25% Top 1% $Profit $8,000 $14,112 $29,065 $Ranch $30 $76 $189 $Feeder $60 $107 $221

$Profit ® – Puts it all together. $Ranch ® + $Feeder ® • One number that predicts your bottom line!

Feed:Gain – Difference in the amount of feed a bull's progeny will consume to produce one pound of gain.

Example: A -0.50 F:G EPD means this animal's progeny will consume 1/2 pound less feed per pound of gain than would progeny of a 0.00 F:G EPD sire.

Feed Intake – Difference in feed consumption of

each of a bull's progeny in a 112 day feeding period.

Example: A steer whose sire has a -100 Intake EPD will eat 100 pounds less feed in 112 days than one whose sire had a zero Intake EPD.

Across Breed Comparisons Dare to compare! You cannot afford to make mistakes in

your breeding program! Choosing to use sires with incomplete or low value data can unknowingly make your herd less profitable – same work, same cost, poor results - unacceptable. Leachman ABC’s are the most reliable and comprehensive EPDs in the industry. They are backed by a large (nearly a million), longstanding (over 30 years), multi-breed (over 15 breeds) database.

Using this system assures you of making sound breeding decisions with minimal risk of failure.

On the Ranch, In the Feedlot, and On the Rail,

$PROFIT simply works! ®

“We feed efficiency test 100% of our bull calves and replacement heifers.

Feed consumption is the #1 driver of cost in the cow herd and by improving the feed efficiency in our herd, we can run more cows on less acres.”

In our SmartFeed Bunks, we can measure individual feed intake, feed:gain, and average daily gain so we can identify the most efficient cattle.

$Profit now re-focused for 2023 and beyond!

On December 12th, 2022, the Leachman $Profit system made one of the most significant Genetic Advancements in our Company’s history!

This unprecedented change was driven by new technology, better data, and changing markets. The primary drivers of the changes were as follows:

1. Leachman incorporated the Zoetis Fertility EPD into $Ranch and $Profit. The EPD predicts large differences in the calf crop percentage expected from a bull’s daughters!

• The Zoetis Fertility EPD was launched in May of 2021.

• After extensive investigation, Leachman believes that this EPD is the single best predictor of a cow’s lifetime productivity.

• Model analysis demonstrates that the number of calves produced in a cow’s lifetime is DIRECTLY related to that female’s probable annual calf crop percentage weaned.

• Higher Fertility EPD bulls produce daughters that will wean a higher average annual calf crop percentage weaned.

• These calf crop percentage differences drive HUGE differences in profitability.

• High Fertility EPD bulls will build cowherds with consistently better breed back, higher calf crop percentage weaned, less culling requirements, and reduced replacement rates.

2. Leachman raised the price of corn to $5.50 per bushel to reflect the new reality of future grain prices.

• This change increased the emphasis on feed intake and conversion. Cost of gain, not rate of gain, is the more important driver of feedlot profitability.

• Selection for $Profit and $Feeder will place increased emphasis on feed conversion and reduced intake levels.

3. Zoetis and Leachman launch the industry’s most accurate, multi-breed carcass evaluation!

• The $Profit database combines thousands of carcass data records, tens of thousands of ultrasound records, and over 75,000 DNA records to produce the most accurate carcass data predictions.

4. 2022 markets showed a record Choice/Select spread and a record

Choice/Prime spread that make marbling more valuable than ever!

These modifications have significantly changed the expected $Ranch, $Feeder, and $Profit for animals in the Leachman $Profit database.

• Selection for $RANCH will build the most fertile and efficient cows.

• Selection for $FEEDER will build steers that efficiently gain and reach Prime marbling.

• Selection for $PROFIT will create the industries leading cowherds for fertility, efficiency, marbling, and profitability.

“It’s all working… Our cows bred up 94% and our 2-year-olds bred up 90% – all in a year with 3" less than normal rain. Plus, our calves weaned 30 pounds heavier.

We’ve been using high $Ranch and high Fertility Leachman Stabilizer bulls – over 700 bulls since 2008. Our cows are getting better and our calves are improving in the feedlot.”

Breed Registration Number Breed Birthdate Color: BLK=Black, BBK=Homozygous Black, BRC=Black Red Carrier, BWF=Black White Face, RED=Red, RWF=Red White Face, WHT=White, TAN=Tan, GRY=Gray.

5. Mating Type: A=Artificial Insemination, E=Embryo Transfer, N=Natural Breeding.

6. Sex: Bull, Heifer, or Cow. Scores 7. Actual Birth Weight 8. Adjusted Weaning Weight 9. Adjusted Yearling Weight 10. F:G is the pedigree estimated feed to gain EPD that predicts the feedlot efficiency of the bulls offspring. A negative number means that the bull’s progeny will feed more efficiently. Example: -0.50 means that the bulls progeny will require ½ pound less feed per pound of gain.

11. Intake: is an estimate of the amount of feed that the bull’s progeny will consume over a 112 day feeding period. It is expressed in pounds. Animals with higher intake will consume more throughout their life. Animals with lower intake will consume less.

12. Disposition: Our traditional score of 1 – 5 on disposition. Score 5 bulls are bulls you can walk up to and touch. Score 3 is about average historically for Meinders bulls. However, we are making a concerted effort to improve disposition, so most bulls score 3 or higher. The bulls scored 2.5 or 2 are nervous.

13. Fertility: Predicts the number of calves that a bull’s daughters will have in the first 8 years of their life. This is an early release of information from Zoetis. Validation is still underway to confirm the efficacy of this EPD. 14. CE: Calving Ease is the predicted calving ease if you use the bull on heifers. If there is a number in the brown box, this indicates the breed calculated calving ease direct EPD. In addition, we provide our Leachman estimated calving star system. ***** The easiest calving bulls in the industry. **** Use on smaller heifers with minimal assistance needed *** Use on larger heifers with some assistance expected.

15. Growth: This is a score from one star to five stars, where five stars means maximum growth.

16. Maternal: This is an estimate of maternal efficiency, NOT milk. It includes $Ranch, Udder EPD and Fertility EPD as the basis for the Star system. The bulls are scored from one star to five stars. Five Star bulls will produce some of the most profitable, good uddered cows in the industry.

17. Feedlot: This looks at all of the post weaning traits including gain, conversion, carcass weight, and carcass merit. Scored from one star to five stars, where five stars would produce maximum overall value in your feeder calves.

18. Phenotype: A combination of eye appeal and overall kind. Scored from one star to five stars. Five star bulls are the best phenotypic bulls in the sale (in our opinion)! Two star bulls are less attractive visually than average.

www.meindersstockfarms.com

19. Feet: Is an estimate of the claw shape of an animal’s feet. The bulls are scored on a 1 to 5 scale. Bulls that are 5 and 4 Star for Feet should improve your herds feet and have a low incidence of claw issues himself. One star bulls should be used in a terminal breeding program.

20. Udder EPD: This EPD assesses the bag attachment and teat size of the bull’s daughters. Bulls with 5 & 4 stars will improve the udder quality in your herd!

Breed EPDs 21. 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.

22. 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.

23. 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.

24. 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.

25. Yearling Height EPD (YH), is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit yearling height, expressed in inches, compared to that of other sires.

26. Scrotal Circumference EPD (SC), expressed in centimeters, is a predictor of the difference in transmitting ability for scrotal size compared to that of other sires.

27. Heifer Pregnancy (HP), is a selection tool to increase the probability or chance of a sire’s daughters becoming pregnant as first-calf heifers during a normal breeding season. A higher EPD is the more favorable direction and the EPD is reported in percentage units.

28. 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.

29. 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 30. Mature Weight EPD (MW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of the difference in mature weight of daughters of a sire compared to the daughters of other sires.

31. Carcass Weight EPD (CW), expressed in pounds is a predictor of the differences in hot carcass weight of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.

32. 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.

33. Ribeye Area EPD (REA), expressed in square inches, is a predictor of the difference in ribeye area of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.

34. Fat Thickness EPD (Fat), expressed in inches, is a predictor of the differences in external fat thickness at the 12th rib (as measured between the 12th and 13th ribs) of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.

Angus Indexes 35. Maternal Weaned Calf Value ($M), expressed in dollars per head, predicts profitability differences from conception to weaning with the underlying breeding objective assuming 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.

36. 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.

37. 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.

Simmental Indexes 35. Stayability (STAY), percent of daughters remaining in the cow herd at 6 years of age.

36. 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.

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

Charolais Index 35. Terminal Sire Index (TSI) is a formal method of combing EPD’s – BW, WW, YW, REA, CW, MARB and FAT – into one single value on which to base selection decisions. TSI uses estimates of the genetic relationships between traits with an economic default value based on three year rolling USDA data.

Leachman Indexes 38. $Ranch EPD: This Leachman profit index that predicts weaning profitability based on calving ease, weaning weight, maternal milk, cow cost, and FERTILITY. Based on producing 100 calves. This EPD assumes a slide on calf prices of $10 / cwt.

39. $Feeder: This number is expressed in terms of the bull’s added value to the sale price of your feeder calves. It is expressed in dollars per head. Thus when comparing a +100 bull vs. a +50 bull, we expect the first bull to sire calves worth $50 per head more at weaning (regardless of their weight).

40. $Profit™ EPD: One, simple, proven number that gives each trait a weight according to its impact on profit.

Generations of breeding decisions have laid the foundation for your herd. Now you can continue—and improve— that legacy with INHERIT Select,™ a genomic tool to help cow-calf producers with crossbred cattle make more informed selection and breeding decisions.

INHERIT Select provides the industry with Genomic Expected Progeny Differences (GEPDs) for 16 traits that inform three economic indexes which simplify complex information to make better management decisions easier.

THE VALUE OF MORE INFORMED DECISIONS A replacement can take about 4 years to break even.1 Identifying females that produce more valuable calves can add value long term.

With GEPDs and indexes provided by INHERIT Select, you can make earlier and better selection decisions to identify future replacements. Selecting the right replacements is critical to the future of your herd, and has a direct impact on short-term profitability.

• Earlier marketing decisions can help reduce heifer-raising costs and generate revenue.

• Future herd productivity is accelerated by selecting females with more favorable predictions.

HARNESS HYBRID VIGOR AND SIRE PARENTAGE INHERIT Select identifies genomic approximations of breed composition to help harness hybrid vigor and optimize production efficiency by: • Determining emphasis by breed contributing to crossbred GEPDs – Incorporating parent information for improved accuracy • Indicating potential maternal hybrid vigor that favorably impacts reproduction, fitness and survival traits • Helping to inform breeding decisions in future calf crops

With the Zoetis and Leachman collaboration now in full swing, we have many exciting updates.

Commercial producers around the country are signing up to use Inherit Select to pick their replacement heifers. By doing so, they are accelerating their herd’s genetic improvement so that their future cows will be more productive and their future feeder calves will be more valuable. It’s just that simple. They are building a legacy of future profitability!

What you get: The following information will come back on every female you test.

• DNA matching to the sire and dam if they have DNA on file with Zoetis.

• BW, WW, YW, DMI (Dry Matter Intake), Feed:Gain, Yearling Height, Milk, Teat & Udder Composite Score, Docility, Scrotal, Carcass Weight, Fat, Ribeye Area, IMF (Marbling), and Tenderness. Plus, you will receive the new Zoetis Fertility EPD. All EPD’s are expressed in the same format and are scaled in a way to make them comparable to EPDs shown in all Leachman catalogs. Plus you get % rank on your animals compared to all other Inherit Select Animals.

• Indexes: Zoetis Total Return, Zoetis Cow Calf, and Zoetis Feedlot Carcass, $Profit, and $Ranch.

• Breed composition: %Angus, % other British, %Continental, and %Other (dairy or Indicus).

• Optional traits: Pulmonary Artery Pressure EPD, Color, Horned/ Polled status.

Pricing:

• Inherit Select costs $28 / head.

• To receive $Ranch & $Profit, the cost is $33 / head.

• PAP, Color, Polled, genetic defect testing, and BVD are all add on costs.

In the typical herd, we see a range of approximately $10,000 between the top 10% of the females and the bottom 10% of the females on $Profit.

On $Ranch, the top 10% of the females are typically $50 lower than the top 10% of the females.

• The test helps you identify females that you may NOT want to keep as replacements. For example, you might want to consider culling heifer calves for the following reasons: • Too little growth rate.

• Too much or too little milk for your environment.

• Too much potential mature cow size.

• Poor future udder quality.

• Poor docility.

• Poor feedlot and carcass traits.

• Excessive feed requirements.

Seeing this information on replacement heifers that you have already chosen is particularly eye opening. Once they see the data, most ranchers want this information to help pick future heifers.

• Finally, and perhaps most importantly, by testing you can accelerate your herd’s rate of genetic improvement.

What you should do next?

How to Order?

• Take samples on 30 to 50 (or the entire group) of heifers that you plan to breed this Spring. This will tell you where you are and tell you what you could improve on the heifers you plan to breed.

After contact, you will receive tissue sampling equipment via mail.

This equipment is included in the cost of the tests. Then you will fill out an order form and mail the tests to Zoetis directly. Results will be returned to you electronically within 4 weeks of Zoetis receiving the tests.

• Plan to take samples on your 2021 Spring born heifer calves.

Ideally, you should sample two heifers for every one you plan to keep – this will give you optimal selection pressure to eliminate heifers with undesirable traits AND improve your index values for $Ranch and $Profit.
