ANNOUNCEMENTS

Welcome Cattlemen &Friends,

The commercial cattlemen are our No. 1 priority. We are trying to provide bulls that fit their environment and make useful, long-lasting, fertile maternal cows that will keep their producers in the business for a long time. As you know, we have many Pathfinder cows in the background of our herd. We have hand-picked our cows one by one for over 17 years now. We feel like we have created something pretty special. We didn’t start with average cows, but rather hand selected ideal cows that we knew would work. We feel you have a real advantage when you invest in the right cows. The genetic differences in cattle shine in the performance of each individual. We know feeding cattle requires performance, feed conversion and carcass traits, while trying to keep a balance with the commercial cattlemen in mind. Our end goal is to produce bulls to go out and be useful and work over the long term. That means “our job is to produce genetics that make your cattle business more profitable.” We pay a great deal of attention to maternal, carcass traits, production, fertility and efficiency traits.

Thank you for taking the time to look at our sale offering. We have quality, uniformity, and production performance in this set of cattle on the sale. This is our opportunity to showcase our genetics and to be very grateful that our beef industry allows us to keep breeding better and better cattle. Technology today is amazing and mind- boggling. It has truly allowed us to become a student of numbers and grow a nice cow herd rapidly. The longer we are in this business and the busier we get, we have very little tolerance for cattle that require any kind of special treatment. They simply must be culled because there are too many good cattle out there to have to deal with that. Any commercial cattle you may see in the sale line-up are proven and good or they would not be in our herd or on our sale. We know their backgrounds and can assure you that you are looking at a good animal that will go to work for you. Our son Cooper has added two red bulls to the line - up this year. He has a passion for Red Angus cattle and a nice cow herd in place. Take a look at his crossbred red bulls. They pack a lot of power. Once again, thanks for looking, call if you have any questions, we will be glad to get them answered for you. We hope to see you on sale day.

God’s blessings,

Todd &Tricia Grabenstein Cooper & Cailey

CALVING EASE Calving ease is a primary focus of our breeding program. With nearly 1/2 of our bulls in the sale qualifiying as heifer bulls according to the AAA, we wanted to provide our rating system, based on actual data, pedigree, EPDs, and experience.

**** A no miss, sleep through the night and tag calves in the morning kind of bull.

*** Superior calving ease, should be an excellent choice for heifers.

** A bull that qualifies as a heifer bull by industry standards.

* We

recommend these bulls for use on cows.

BIRTH WEIGHT (ACT BW) WEANING (WW) WEIGHT RATIO AND YEARLING (YW) WEIGHT RATIO, are a direct comparison of one calf to all the others in his contemporary group.

A ratio of 100 is average. Embryo transplant calves will have an ET in place of a ratio.

INTERMUSCULAR FAT (IMF) RATIO, is the percentage of fat in the ribeye muscle. It is the primary factor in determining quality grade. Higher levels of intramuscular fat improve quality grade.

RIBEYE AREA (REA) RATIO, the surface area of the ribeye muscle at the 12th rib interface on the beef forequarter. Ribeye area is expressed in square inches.

ADJUSTED RIBEYE FAT, is an external fat measurement taken between the 12th and 13th rib. Rib fat is used in USDA yield grade calculation and is the most important determinant of retail yield.

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.

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.

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.

American Angus Association

Pathfinder Cow Award The Pathfinder Angus program was started in 1978 in an effort to identify superior cows in the breed based on their records of performance from Angus Herd Improvement Records (AHIR). In identifying these superior cows, emphasis was placed on early puberty, breeding and early calving, followed by regularity of calving and above-average performance of the offspring.

While outstanding cows can be identified after their first or second calves, the Pathfinder Report requires a minimum of three calves from a cow to determine her regularity of calving and ability to produce superior calves for weaning weight year after year. In addition, an important part of the report is the list of bulls that have sired five or more qualifying females.

The program identifies Pathfinder Cows in herds actively involved in AHIR. First, the female must produce her first calf near the herd’s average age for first calving. More specifically, the maximum age accepted for first calving of a Pathfinder Cow is the within-herd average for first calving plus 30 days. The within-herd average is determined separately for each herd on AHIR. As a second criteria, the Pathfinder Cow must maintain a regular calving interval. The maximum calving interval is: 365 Days + ( 30 Days / Number of Calving Intervals) Next, the Pathfinder Cow must produce at least three calves with an average weaning weight ratio of 105 to qualify for the report. A minimum of 10 herdmates or contemporaries must be evaluated together each year to determine the weight ratio. Additionally, her calves must be sired by registered Angus bulls. To continue to qualify each consecutive year, the cow must produce regularly and wean a calf that helps maintain the average weaning ratio of 105 or above. It is pointed out that once a cow is designated Pathfinder, she is always a Pathfinder, even though she might not qualify for listing each year.

Upshot was a 2011 National Western Stock Show standout and was the hottest bull in the yards of the Express Ranches Carload. His first calves have tons of muscle and length. They are correct in their structure and should be more consistent that even his sire’s. He could potentially be Upward’s all-time best son considering his performance, genomic profile, and overal EPD package.

We have carefully picked our cows over the course of time. They are hardworking, non-pampered cows that are bred to the best bulls in the breed. Angus genetics still command the highest premiums. With the change in the cattle market over the past few months, quality is going to become a huge factor in price. We take pride in knowing that our bulls do a great job in producing females that will thrive and go to work in any environment. We have a program with a strong plan behind what we produce. We hope you take advantage of this hard working, honest, and proven genetic herd of cattle.

This bull came from the Wildcat Creek Ranch Sale. We wanted to purchase some cows and two of the cows we bought sold as pairs. He is one of those bull calves. This bull is smooth shouldered, yet thick and wide topped. His dam is an outstanding Dream Look Cow. His numbers are consistent and he carries a lot of shape and balance. Three Pathfinders back his pedigree.

This is another bull calf that sold as a pair from The Wildcat Creek Ranch sale. I was determined to own the dam to this calf. She is a Georgina cow that is going to add a great deal to our herd.

You can expect to see some embryo transfer calves out of that cow. But for today, you have the opportunity to own a son of her. He is a good bull that traces back to Iron Mountain. Take advantage of the opportunity to own him. Three pathfinders back his pedigree.

I really like this bull out of a Sandy Pride cow. His materal sister is one of the bred heifers on our sale this year. He is well put together and offers a real complete package. His grandsire is 878 and holds many records within the Angus breed. He was still producing at 16 years old. He passed last fall and if you are looking for longevity and strong fertility, look no further. Six pathfinders back his pedgree.

Why SimAngus?

Our SimAngus program continues to provide high quality seedstock with Pathfinder cows and a proven track record. We chose to bring Simmental into our herd for hybrid vigor. Adding Simmental to our herd enabled us to increase carcass traits without losing marbling, and increasing growth and producing higher yeilding weights. Our strict breeding focus on low birth weights, productivity, fertility, and low maintenance cattle continue to be our driving force behind our breeding decisions.

This hybrid cross is bred and selected under the same conditions. Pay close attention to the TI and the API index. They were built to work with Angus based cows. Angus and Simmental has the best two databases available to predict accuracy. It has taken the guess work out of crossbreeding. Take a look at these SimAngus bulls today—they are outstanding.

Here is a prime example of why Cowboy Cut bulls are topping the market. This bull has been unbelievable since the day he was born. You won’t find flaws in this bull. He is clean fronted and without a doubt, one of the most powerful bulls I have seen. He’s got length, depth, and is solid footed.

Everyone has picked him as a stand out. His maternal sister was the top selling heifer last year on our sale out of a Duramax cow. We are collecting embryos out of that cow.

The picture does not do the bull justice, you need to see him to believe it!

Here is another Cowboy Cut son that will turn heads. This Aberdeen cow packs some real muscle and length of body. He is thick, wide topped, and his lower quarter really pops. Take a long, hard look at this bull.

This is a Comfort Zone bull that has a lot of eye appeal. 10% of the proceeds of this bull will be donated to The Bertrand Beef Booster program. This program will be putting Nebraska beef in our school system three days a week starting next August. I chose this bull as the donor bull as his Grand Dam is Lady Viking So Fame. I couldn’t think of a better bull to help serve the Bertrand Viking School. Take a look at this bull.

INDEXES EXPLAINED

Though EPD’s allow for comparison of genetic levels of economically important traits, they only provide a piece of the economic puzzle. That’s where indexes come into play. Indexes blend EPD’s and economics to estimate an animal’s overall impact on your bottom line.

All Purpose Index (API): Evaluates sires for use on the entire cow herd (bred to both Angus first calf heifers and mature cows) with a portion of their daughters retained to maintain herd size and the remaining heifers and steers put on feed and sold for grade and yield.

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

Index units are in dollars per cow exposed. First, determing which index to use; if you’re keeping replacements, use API. Then, just as with EPD’s, focus on the unit difference between bulls. the difference can be used to determine how much you can pay for one bull compared to another. For example, a bull scoring 100 for API is worth an extra $6,000 over a bull with a 50 for API if both sire 30 calves per year over 4 years ( $50 difference x 30 hd x 4 yrs. = $6,000).

He is soggy middled, big ribbed, and well above average muscle and stoutness, His dam is a Pridella cow. McConnell’s could tell you just how valued the Pridella Cow family is to them.

This is an impressive heifer bull that I sent a DNA sample in to make sure he was 3/8 Simmental.

He carries so much of an Angus appearance. You will really like what this bull will do for your herd.

If you are planning to keep heifers, look him over well. His dam is one of my favorite cows that goes back to the Aberdeen family and Retail Product. She is a Rita cow that I can’t say enough about.

Put this bull to work - you will like the results!
