Rodney & Kim Hofmann 2244 19th Rd - Clay Center, KS 67432 Ph. 785-944-3674 hsfcows@gmail.com www.honestbulls.com

Greetings!

Welcome to our Buy Your Way Bull Sale No. 7!

This is our largest and most consistent group of bulls (in terms of quality) offered to date and we hope you like what you see here.

If you’re new to our sale, you will find that this format is different than most, but then we’ve rarely been accused of following the crowd. We’ve always sold by private treaty and wanted to continue to do so, but also wanted to give others the chance to have a first choice without going to a traditional auction. This is the most simple, cost effective way for us to accomplish our goals and has been well received. Because of this format and the option of placing proxy bids, we have committed to providing the bid history to you on your purchases to reassure you that we are handling your money as if it were our own.

About the bulls: These bulls are built from generation upon generation of proven AI sires. While many operations use the term ‘proven pedigrees’, if you look at the average accuracies we have listed with our Reference Sires, we believe you will see what we mean.

Sire selections here are not made quickly, so we don’t expect you to make your selections without a little research, either. If you would like to come before sale week, or early in the sale week, to see the dams of these bulls, just let us know and we’ll make arrangements for you to take a look. If you do make the trip, you can expect to find honest, hard working cows in a beef production environment.

We also want to say thanks again to Garrett Bulk for all of his help. His dedication, hard work and fresh ideas continue to be an asset to our operation.

We know there are many places to go for seedstock, so we appreciate your time in looking at what we have to offer. If you have questions or comments, or if we can be of assistance in any way, please do not hesitate to contact us.

sale updates | online bidding videos | genetic updates This year, we decided to utilize GGP-LD tests on all of our ET bulls in order to increase EPD accuracies and to eliminate the effect of the recip on individual animals.

Results will be posted online as soon as we receive them and will be available at sale time.

Watch the website for any announcements regarding postponement of closing day due to inclement weather Videos of all bulls will be online DVDs are available on request If you would like to be on the phone to bid on particular lots during closeout, please let us know

by Friday morning, if possible, so that we can make arrangements Let us know if you would prefer to no longer receive our catalog and mailings and we will remove you from our list

Rodney & Kim

Catalog Data

processing. Undisturbed, settled, somewhat dull.

2 = Restless. Quieter than average, but may be stubborn during processing.

3 = Nervous. Typical temperment is manageable, but nervous and impatient.

Weights: All weights have been adjusted for age.

Age: Age in months, as of March 5, 2016

Scrotal measurements are the actual measurements taken by us at approximately one year of age. Dr. Salava’s measurements will be available after semen evaluations.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound was performed by Mike Lindell of High-Tech Beef. CUP Lab of Iowa interpreted the data and the American Simmental Assn. made adjustments for 12 months of age and contemporary groups.

Frame scores are expressed in a range, i.e.: 5- (5.0-5.4), 5 (5.5), 5+ (5.6-5.9) Frame scores are based upon a hip height and adjusted for age.

Color: All bulls are either noted as black (heterozygous or red carrier) or homozygous black, and have been confirmed as such either by pedigree or test. All red bulls are non-dilute by pedigree.

Bulls noted as *Black have homozygous black tests pending.

Because spring and fall bulls should not be compared against each other (nor should ultrasound readings be compared from one herd to another), the IMF is expressed for each group of bulls as top, middle or bottom third of their contemporaries. Purebred and percentage bulls in the same calf crop are compared against each other for this trait.

Polled: All bulls are noted as Polled, Hetero Polled, Polled/Scurs or Homozygous polled. Homozygous polled bulls have been confirmed as such either by pedigree or test. Some bulls noted as polled could be homozygous polled but were not tested and cannot be confirmed by pedigree. Bulls noted as *Polled have homozygous polled tests pending. (our policy on color and polled is that if we know about it, you will know about it)

Customer Referrals

Existing customers: we are offering a reward for your referrals who become new customers! Just instruct your friend or neighbor to let us know (at the time of settlement) that you referred them, and we will make sure you receive a $50 cash gift to say Thank You for your consideration.

Disposition: Because we select for disposition and cull any problem stock, we are confident you will not have temperament problems with these bulls. That said, we do acknowledge there are differences between them. We again followed the BIF guidelines, but in addition to chute scores, we have scored them by handling each bull individually in a small pen. Following are abbreviated BIF descriptions for scores of 1-3 [descriptions of exit scores and descriptions of wild cattle are omitted]

Sight Unseen Guarantee

If you are unable to attend the sale or view the bulls in person, please feel free to take advantage of our sight unseen program.

Give us a call and let us know what your needs are and any other pertinent requirements. We will send you a DVD of the bulls so that you have a visual reference, and we will do our best to purchase a bull that meets your requirements in your price range. All sight unseen purchases are guaranteed to be as represented.

1 = Docile. Mild disposition. Gentle and easily handled. Stands and moves slowly during

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 (dollars per cow exposed) between bulls. The difference can be used to determine how much a bull is worth compared to another--or how much you can pay for one bull compared to another.

Example: A bull scoring 100 for API is worth an extra $6,000 over a 50 API 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. For percentile rankings or more information about EPDs and $ indexes visit www.simmental.org

EPDs & Indexes

EPD’s are based upon a deviation from the breed average [above or below (-)] for the base year for the particular trait. You cannot compare EPD’s from one breed to another. EPDs may change from the time this catalog was printed until registration papers are transferred.

how to get to the

BUY YOUR WAY

sale 

 From the Hwy 24/15 intersection in Clay Center, travel East on Hwy 24 for 7 miles to the Ebenezer Church. then 1 mile North and 1 1/2 miles East (If driving from the East, DO NOT TRAVEL the Riley/Clay county line road [minimum maintenance road])

www.honestbulls.com sale updates | online bidding | videos

Bull Management Bulls have been fed in large pens with access to a small pasture for exercise. Bulls were fed to gain 3#/day with a diet of free choice grass hay, limited alfalfa and a corn/DDG/vitamin/mineral mix. (For longevity we are feeding less corn and replacing it with more DDG and alfalfa.)

The ultrasound data confirms that they are fit and not fat. The average adjusted backfat of all bulls is .16. We have managed the bulls this way because the last thing you need is to turn out a bull that will fall apart.

The health of the bulls has again been outstanding.

Bulls left with us after the sale will be cared for to make the transition to pasture conditions as smooth as possible.

We will make every effort to see that those bulls get ample exercise.

Please contact us if you have any questions.

we hope you will plan to join us for our next sale in October of 2017!

The Buy Your Way sale ring advantage We’ve all experienced it . . . the auction sale order is not the way we want it! Here you’ll find all the bulls ‘in the ring’ at the same time. If your first pick rises out of your price range, you have plenty of time--at least hours, if not days--to either adjust your budget or select another bull. (How many times have we had to make these important decisions within minutes or even seconds?) It’s because we feel so strongly in this concept that we offer our cash discounts for early bids.

Up until the final closeout on the ending day, you can still capitalize on the full-ring advantage. The more our bid sheets are used on the last day, the fewer scrambles everyone will need to make. We believe your bottom line deserves the time and attention necessary to make a good decision regarding the genetics for your herd.

[An added bonus: a faster closeout process!]

As an additional bonus, we will hold a drawing for $100 cash to a bidder (live or proxy) who has placed a high bid during the silent auction portion of our final day.
