Bulls of the Big sky Customers and Friends, On behalf of all of the great folks associated with the Bulls of the Big Sky I would like to personally invite you to be with us on Feb. 15 for our 7th annual bull sale at Billings Livestock.

Only through great commitment and uncommon effort can lasting opportunities take shape. The families who make up the Bulls of the Big Sky program have had that kind of medal from the start and it is a big reason why the program has grown in popularity and success. Bulls of the Big Sky offers high value commercial bulls designed to generate profit for their customers and the larger beef business. The right priced bulls you have come to expect from these breeders are bred and developed to last with emphasis on calving ease, efficient growth, maternal and carcass traits. Concentrating on economically important genetics, then following through with committed customer service and warranty are the important factors that define the breeders that make up today’s Bulls of the Big Sky. This year’s offering will be nearly 180 rugged, dependable yearling SimAngus and Simmental bulls. I am confident you will be impressed with the uniformity of the offering and the constant increase in quality of the set each year. Phil and our partners at Veltkamp’s once again have done a wonderful job developing these bulls with longevity in mind and we appreciate the many comments we get each year on how well these bulls hold up. Good feet along with long term rumen and organ health are targets of the ration and development program at Veltkamp’s and important to all of us at Bulls of the Big Sky. Selection and professional development however, are only a couple of the benefits this experienced group of seedstock producers bring to the table. You’ll not find a better set of people to work with on sale details, delivery and post sale warranty. Additionally, by choosing bulls from Bulls of the Big Sky you have the added advantage of being linked to the Allied Genetic Resource system for services far beyond your bull purchases. For a list of opportunities and services offered by Allied, check out our website at www.alliedgeneticresources.com.

Bulls will be on display Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday prior to the Monday sale in Billings which starts just after lunch at 1:00 PM on Monday. The entire sale will again be broadcast by DV Auction at www.dvauction.com for those interested in purchasing on line. As always, feel free to stop by to see the bulls in Manhattan MT any time prior to the sale.

Our website is www.bullsofthebigsky.com . There you’ll find data on each of the bulls with photos and videos available on nearly 100 of the bulls to give you an idea of what to expect to see sale day.

Sincerely, Marty Ropp Allied Genetic Resources

Bulls of the Big Sky February 15, 2016 – 1:00 PM Retaining Semen Interest: The bull buyer will receive full possession, 100% salvage value, and ¾ semen interest of any bull purchased in this sale, while the individual selling ranch (“Seller”) will retain ¼ semen interest in any bull that it sells. Seller’s retained semen interest is a royalty interest that entitles Seller to ¼ of any revenue from the sale of that bull’s semen. Seller’s retained semen interest shall remain even if the bull, or any interest in the bull, is later sold to a third-party; and, the Buyer shall be solely responsible for notifying any later third-party buyer of the Seller’s retained semen interest and for ensuring that Seller’s retained semen interest is satisfied if semen is ever sold.

Seller will not be responsible for any expenses directly or indirectly related to semen collection or promotion of a purchased bull, unless the Buyer and Seller agree otherwise in writing prior to semen collection. Seller’s retained semen interest also includes the right of Seller to collect semen on the purchased bull at Seller’s sole expense and at the Buyer’s reasonable convenience.

The following information will be available sale day: • Ultrasound Data and Scrotal Measurements.

• Sale Order will be posted on www.bullsofthebigsky.com by the evening of Sunday, February 14th.

Selling Approximately: 180 Yearling Bulls, 5 Fall Bulls Purebred Simmental and SimAngusTM/Red Angus and Angus Black and Reds

Feeding and Delivery: Bulls will be fed free of charge back at Veltkamp’s bull development facility in Manhattan, Montana until April 1, 2016. During that time, we will semen test and give your bulls a Breeding Soundness Exam. If a buyer wishes to keep their bull at Veltkamp’s after April 1st, feed beyond April 1st and freight will be left to the buyer. We begin delivering bulls by the last week of March and early April.

If you have special delivery requests, please let us know at the time of the sale. Feed charges will be $3.00 per head per day for those that request their bulls remain at Veltkamp’s after our delivery time. Bulls taken by the buyer immediately after the sale will receive a $150 discount, but we remind you that we will not have had the opportunity to semen test bulls taken by a buyer immediately after the sale, and we recommend that the buyers arrange for semen testing at their ranch prior to turnout.

The Bulls of the Big Sky delivery and feed policy is: • Buyer takes purchased bull(s) home immediately after sale: $150 per head discount. Fertility testing is Buyer’s responsibility.

• Buyer requests that purchased bulls(s) return to Veltkamp’s after the sale until Breeder delivery on or about April 1, 2016: No Discount on price of bull(s) but no charge for feed and no charge for delivery for the first 300 miles, until on or about April 1, 2016 Breeder delivery.

• Buyer requests that purchased bull(s) return to Veltkamp’s after the sale and remain at Veltkamp’s beyond the Breeder delivery date on or about April 1, 2016: No discount on price of bull(s) but no charge for feed up to the Breeder delivery date on or April 1, 2016. After the Breeder delivery date on or about April 1, 2016, Buyer will pay $3.00/head/day for feed and must either pay for delivery (because Buyer requested that the purchased bull stay at Veltkamp’s beyond Breeder’s regular delivery) or pick up the purchased bull(s) himself at Veltkamp’s.

• For purchased bulls traveling beyond 300 miles prior to the Buyer delivery date on or about April 1, 2016, the most economical trucking available will be arranged and the buyer will receive a 300-mile credit towards the total delivery cost.

• Volume Buyer Delivery Special: Bulls of the Big Sky will make special delivery arrangements and discounts for large volume buyers on an individual basis. Please talk with Dale Miller or Maureen Mai for details.

Notice to Canadian Buyers: Bulls of the Big Sky will provide free delivery to the US side of Port of Entry at Sweetgrass, MT and pay for the cost of regular health papers. The Buyer is responsible for the cost of additional Canadian or Provincial Health Requirements.

Notice to Out of State Buyers: Please know your state health requirements prior to sale day. If your state requires Trich testing, the bull(s) will not be able to leave Montana immediately after the sale and must return to Veltkamp’s for testing. Though Bulls of the Big Sky pays for the cost of all regular health papers, the cost of Trich testing and other state specific health requirements will be the responsibility of the Buyer and will be billed to the Buyer.

Looking for outcross red genetics, this calf will fit that bill. Same cow family as the Superman bull that sold to Cross Hair Simmental for $21,000 in 2015. This calf appears like he will be a good calving ease prospect. He is very correct and stylish with excellent depth.

Dam has an angular maternal look, with longevity, soundness, excellent udder and wouldn't fault her in any way. Could make a great herd sire.

The DKSR Mr Olie calves come out and grow! By week 2 they catch your eye on their thickness and depth. 017C is super strong with his calving ease numbers and really balanced overall. He is out of a nice, moderate framed Trademark daughter we got from Koch's 3 years ago. Nice tight udder. His 79 lb. BW to 758 WW shows his abilities.

P48C could very well be the fancy red outcross bull you have been looking for. No Beef Maker or Rushmore in lineage. He is super sound, solid, and stout to boot. Definitely will perform at top 15% WW and TI and 10% YW and ADG. The Power Grid calves catch your eye in the pasture every time! 30K test.

My attempt with this breeding was to make a great show steer. Unfortunately I thought 953C turned out a little too good. Red Hulk has the potential to make these fancy steers. Smaller frame but compact with muscle and thickness.

QUICK GUIDE

to ASA EPDs and $ INDEXES

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 15unit difference would be expected in their progeny (moving from -5 to +10 yields 15 units). Key to using EPDs is knowing what units they are expressed in. For example, if the above case referred to weaning weight EPDs, A would be expected to sire 15-pounds more weaning weight than B. If calving ease were the trait, A would be expected to sire 15percent more unassisted births in first-calf heifers; in other words, if B sired 30 assists in a group of 100 heifers, we’d expect 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 percentile rankings or more detailed information about EPDs and $ indexes visit www.simmental.org. Listed below are the units ASA EPDs are expressed in: All-Purpose Index (API): Dollars per cow exposed under an all-purpose-sire scenario. (See below for more details.)

Back Fat (BF): Inches of backfat.

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.

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

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

Marbling (MRB): Marbling score.

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

Ribeye Area (REA): Square inches of ribeye.

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

Stayability (STAY): Percent of daughters remaining in the cowherd at 6 years of age.

Terminal Index (TI): Dollars per cow exposed under a terminal-sire scenario. (See below for more details.)

Weaning Weight (WW): Pounds of weaning weight.

Yearling Weight (YW): Pounds of yearling weight.

Yield Grade (YG): Yield grade score.

$ Indexes: Though EPDs allow for the comparison of genetic levels for many economically important traits, they only provide a piece of the economic puzzle. That’s where $ indexes come in.

Through well-conceived, rigorous mathematical computation, $ indexes blend EPDs and economics to estimate an animal’s overall impact on your bottom line. 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 firstcalf 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 sire 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’re keeping replacements use API, if not, 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. Or, 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.
