◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆ BEGGER’S DIAMOND V RANCH

Greetings This past year certainly elapsed in a hurry; it was a 2 edge sword around here. This year was on the dry side, but we did manage to get enough hay put together. Cattle and grain prices are in our favor, no doubt we need it though with input costs as they are. Never in my life time have the cattle future looked better.

The cattle inventory worldwide is very low. I believe that anyone that has the desire to produce food for the world is in an excellent position to reap great rewards for their efforts. As I looked through the market reports I have noticed that a very large amount of the calves that were sold have sold for very good prices, but I also noticed that a lot of producers are selling lighter calves than they should and could be. Some may blame the drought, but I have witnessed a lot of small straight bred cattle that just need a shot of cross breeding. There is no doubt that by cross breeding you could add extra pay weight and dollars with no extra work or feed. I have been in the seedstock business for over 37 years and I have never seen more opportunity than now. Yet it is not easy to make ends meet. I strongly encourage you to take a look at using SimAngus genetics in your program. These cattle are in strong demand, they are easy to manage, they calve easy. They grow fast and weigh heavy at sale time.

The replacement quality is excellent, these cattle work hard raise big calves and get pregnant with less opens then straight Angus cattle (I have years of data to prove it). The costs of feed is high and cross bred SimAngus cattle lead the way in feed efficiency, and feed conversion rates. The packers love them because they grade very well yet they maintain yield grade 2 & 3 carcasses, and hardly ever produce yield grade 4 cattle that get over fat and receive big discounts. They just do things right and produce a healthy excellent eating experience for our consumer. Don’t let the breed ads that you read tell you that cross breeding doesn’t pay that is false, and it will cost you pay weight, efficiency and dollars and cents. I call it false marketing with little proof of science. Our ranch runs our cattle out on the range and keeps them grazing for as long as we can. We calve cows twice a year starting in late January and then late August. We believe that by offering you older bulls to turn out, you will Service more cows and they will stay in excellent shape.

Calving season is time consuming in the winter and spring. This past calving season went very well, very

little calving problems beside a few tangled up twins and 2 backward calves. The heifers rarely need help they just lay down and calve. It is about unheard of anymore to get a cow in the chute to get calves started. We put strong emphasis on good mothering ability and good uddered cows. If a cow’s udder becomes a problem she is culled, you and I don’t need extra chores. This fall we calved 160 cows and heifers out.

We never seen a calf born, never had to bring a cow in.

We only checked cows once a day to tag and weigh calves. Every cow has a calf and there are 4 extras in the barn, there were 38 2yr old heifers and every one calved on their own and they all have calves on them.

There is a lot of talk and opinions on what is the best breed or breeds to use, there is no other breed that has spent more time, money, and energy to collect data at birth, weaning and in the feedlot and packing plants than the American Simmental Association has (not even Angus). The American Simmental Association has more data collected on heifer calving ease than any other breed. Not only on Simmental bulls but Angus and Red Angus alike. No other breed has spent or are currently collecting unbiased data that is collected by University calving teams. For the past several years the ASA have AI’d more cattle for research and unbiased data. These cattle are mass bred to heifers and cows alike, calved out by calving teams that the Montana State University directs. They’re comparing and collecting data on some of the Nation’s top Angus, Red Angus, and Simmental sires. The American Simmental Association lines up the cows and the bulls to be tested. Anyone can nominate a bull and most of the AI studs and seedstock producers are using this opportunity to collect solid unbiased data that will enhance the value of the cattle industry. If you have never used Sim-Angus in your program or haven’t used them in the past 5 years, come take a look, you will like what you see. Thanks so much for the past 38 years, as it is you folks that gave us the opportunity to do what ‘we’ enjoy.

Hope to see you on Feb. 6th.

As we lead off this power packed set of Sim-Angus bulls we choose this powerful Clicker son to blaze the way. This bull is an absolute standout, very deep bodied, long and wide. He is what easy keeping and easy fleshing cattle are about. When Clay Lassle saw him he said, "I see powerful females that last." No doubt a seed stock quality bull that deserves the top cowman's attention.

His dam is no slouch either, she is the reason this bull carries his easy keeping stylish look. She boasts a weaning ratio of 114 as this bull does. She came by her powerful cow look naturally as her grand dam topped our sale at $7500 as a powerful donor prospect 8 years ago. If you are looking for one of our best, do your home work and check this bull out. This bull ranked #4 out of 89 contemporaries.

Wow a bull that could lead off any sale anywhere. I don't think you could put any more dimension and style in a bull. So deep, thick, long and stylish cattle like this are hard to duplicate.

A real brute, I don't think you could pack more power and volume in a bull. This bull has a full brother walking in the pastures of Cobb Brothers in Washington. He was a lead off sale topper 2 years ago. He is a twin to 3Z, Lot 19. He also made this top pen of Sims-Angus bulls. When it comes to his Sire BDV Festus 149S, there has never been another Sims-Angus bull that we have ever used that consistently matches the power and easy keeping ways that he does. 149S topped our sale in 2007. We used him AI and liked what we got, so we bought him back and used him as a top herd sire. His dam, likewise, writes her own story as one of our finest. She has a weaning ratio of 102 on 5 calves and if they rationed twins, that would likely improved as this bull weighed in at 804 pounds on August 20th.

This bull is out of one of the oldest cows on the ranch. This is her 10th calf for an average weaning index of 105 on 10 calves, not bad. When you analyze this bull, you will see why this guy weighted 823 pounds on August 20th to adjust to 813 and ratio 108 to rank 18 out of 89. If you are looking for a bull to sire pounds and maternal power, look no further. Not only does he have a great dam, his sire is the powerful SAV Pioneer that produced a powerful first calf crop of bulls for Schaff Angus Valley that average over $10,000. That's right, average on over 60 head.

Excellent genetics run through this one's veins.

A homozygous black bull that is a real well made bull. This bull weaned off his 3 year old dam at 824 for a 109 index. He is one of the youngest bulls in the sale but he surely doesn't appear to be. There is excellent cow power blended throughout his pedigree. He should sire powerful replacements. His EPDs say he is in the top 20% of the breed for calving ease and top 4% for weaning and yearling and top 15% for maternal weaning weight.

This bull was the top weaning bull in his contemporary group. He weaned at 854 to index 125, ranked #1 out of 56 contemporaries. He leads off this pen of 6 framed bulls that I classify as our deepest, widest group. I just love the balance and stoutness this bull has. He weaned heavy but you can see his is already slowing down on his growth pattern and will turn into a very moderate sized, easy keeping bull with eye appeal. He is out of a 2 year old heifer that we expect to be one of our finest producers.

A powerful Upward son out of a real strong 1I2 cow. This combination leaves you with a lot of mating choices. You can use him on several different bloodlines with no problem. This bull should sire a little more size than some of the real calving ease blood lines. He will make some real top feeding cattle that put extra pay weight on the scale.

This bull is a long bull that is built like a calving ease bull. I believe he might make a nice heifer bull. He has the genetics to calve easy and still his calves should grow into some stout feeder cattle.

I feel that this bull will breed like an Angus, but may give you a little more muscle and fleshing ability. He does have a very small shot of Simmental in him. I talk alot about cow families and he has a good one.

Where do we go from here.

The Simmental breed has stepped up to the challenge the past few years and has jumped through many of the hoops that at one time were stumbling blocks and pit falls for the breed.

It wasnít very long ago that the word Simmental was associated with hard calving, hard keeping, rat tailed elephants of unpredictable colors, cattle that get sick in the feedlots With the help and focus of aggressive cattle breeders that had a vision along with our ASA staff. We changed many of those perceptions and realities. Today the Simmental breed has positioned itself to be the number one choice of the continental breeds.

Why the change of attitude among commercial cattlemen, feeders and packers? The reason is, we have changed. The breed has changed and today we have cattle that are very prediciatable in calving ease, color, polled traits and still we maintained excellent growth and improved our overall mature size and increased the efficiency and profit ability of the Simmental breed, but at the same time I am concerned some breeders are forgetting the past and are putting more birth weight and mature size and frame back into their genetics. I don’t want to go back there again and I don’t feel that you do either.

Today the buzz word is CARCASS. How do we fit into the beef industries picture? Very well as a whole, but we need to keep improving our cattle in each and every generation.

Today our industry has very little margin for error. We as producers of food have very tight margins for profit and still the perception of the vast majority of the world’s population is food is to high priced, they donít understand or care what it takes. All they want is to be fed economically.

So how do we improve and keep up with technology and the fast paced demands that the world presents and still stay profitable? It seems like it was just yesterday that ultrasound came into the picture, some felt it was gospel, some feel it is not very accurate and some don’t care. Some feel that we lost our efficiency in our cow herds due to high selection of carcass traits. Some claim they have all the answers, sometimes I wonder if anyone knows.

Now along comes genomic testing, the test where a little blood, hair, or DNA can tell us ancestry, color, horned or polled, genetic defects, and now they claim they can separate the good and bad for carcass quality, feed efficiency, disposition, and so much more.

Is this sound science that will make you more profitable or just a sales pitch to make the genomic companies wealthy?

Back in 1974 I was a senior in high school, I was active in 4-H and FFA, and I knew that cows and Ag was what I wanted to do. I didn’t have any idea or clue that 35 years later the world would be revolving at the fast pace that it is today. Heck, we didn’t even have computers or cell phones.

Do I enjoy my choice of life? Yes I do. Am I over whelmed at what it cost to do business? At times. Will I use the technology available to build a better product? I will. But, how do we and our customers analyze all the data that is available today? How do we leave enough money in the bank to pay our bills? All good questions, all hard to answer.

What I do know is we still need to produce a product that will support our families and the people in Ag. This product has to be easy to handle, easy to calve, produce a profit and be accepted by the rancher, the order buyer, the feeder, packer and the consumer. Now that’s not such a big order is it?

Respectfully yours, Bill Begger

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 15-unit 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 15-percent 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 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.

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. For percentile rankings or more detailed information about EPDs and $ indexes.

RETAINED SEMEN INTEREST IN BULLS: You will notice that we are selling 3/4 interest and full possession in all bulls in this offering. This means we are retaining a 1/4 revenue sharing semen interest in all the bulls. This semen interest is a royalty interest that entitles Begger’s Diamond V Ranch to 1/4 of the revenues of any semen sold. It means the bull is in your control and possession unless otherwise stated or for a mutually agreed upon handling of the bull for promotional purposes.

You get 100% of the salvage value of the bull. Begger’s Diamond V Ranch retained semen interest remains even if the bull, or any interest in the bull, is sold to a third party. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure that Begger’s Diamond V Ranch’s interest is upheld if semen is ever sold. The buyer must also inform any third party of Begger’s Diamond V Ranch’s interest if the bull is ever sold. Any semen you choose to collect as an ‘insurance policy’ on your bull for your own in herd use, is 100% yours. Begger’s Diamond V Ranch will not be responsible for expenses related to semen collection or promotion of any bull purchased.

Unless a mutual agreement is reached for these expenses prior to promotion and semen collection,. Cost incurred in collecting semen for Begger’s Diamond V Ranch within herd use will be the responsibility of Begger’s Diamond V Ranch. Any semen collection will be arranged at the convenience of the new owner of the possession interest in the bull. If you the buyer decides that you would like to own 100% of the semen rights, simply add 25% of the bulls purchase price to your settlement. This will entitle you to 100% of the bull’s future semen sales. Begger’s Diamond V Ranch will still retain the right to collect 200 units of semen for within herd use at our expense.

Testicle Measurements: The scrotal circumference of each bull was tape-measured on December 15, 2012. The scrotal measurements were adjusted to yearling, and sometimes will vary one way or another as actual yearlings. We guarantee our bulls 100% for fertility, unless damage is induced at your ranch, and then it’s out of our control.

Suggested Guidelines for using Yearling Bulls: We are firm believers in the use of yearling bulls and feel it is one of the best years of their lives. It is a time when they are easy to manage and their only concern is breeding cows.

We have found that yearling bulls that are managed carefully during the second year of their lives, not only do well, but they will perform better, over time. Below are some suggested guidelines for the care of yearling bulls.

Upon delivery to your ranch, keep yearling bulls separate from older bulls and feed them a maintenance ration of 5-8 pounds per head of grain and free choice hay. Reduce the amount of grain fed gradually, so that bulls are on straight hay or grass 2-4 weeks prior to the breeding season.

Where possible, try to limit the bulls to 45-60 days of pasture service the first year. At this time or as soon as possible, remove the bulls and put them in separate pastures with plenty of good quality grass.

It is best to feed yearling bulls separate from older bulls until after their second breeding season. This allows them to achieve the growth and strength to compete with older bulls for feed and space.

You will see the benefit of a little added cost and care of feeding a yearling bull by probably two or three more years of service from a well managed and healthy bull.
