elcome to our 23nd Annual Bull Sale. It is indeed an exciting time to be in the beef industry. With prices at alltime highs and technology improving every year to help us make better decisions, you can’t help being excited!

This year we have a great selection of 52 SimAngus, 36 Simmental, and 12 Angus bulls, including 15 fall yearling bulls that ran on grass all summer. They are stout and ready for heavy use. 90 bulls are homozygous black. Many are full or half brothers and ideal for use in large commercial herds.

The bulls in this year’s sale are “Built to Work”. They are a result of a breeding philosophy we have been dedicated to for over 40 years. We strive to produce bulls whose calves will give you the least amount of hassle and maximize profit.

Depending on the makeup of your herd, using a River Creek Farms Purebred or SimAngus bull will allow you to take advantage of hybrid vigor. That means added pounds on your calves, enhanced carcass quality, increased cowherd longevity and overall productivity.

Our “Built to Work” philosophy emphasizes bull development. Instead of developing bulls in small pens to maximize fat thickness and average daily gain, our bulls have been developed in large lots, near our headquarters, to ensure sound feet and legs while giving them plenty of exercise. Our customers from western Kansas and Colorado appreciate the soundness and condition of the bulls, especially during extremely dry summers like last year.

Because of the drought our weaning weights were down 75 pounds this year. Fortunately, the bulls have gained well this winter and are back to normal weight.

Every bull will be semen tested, scrotal measured and ultra-sounded before the sale. Results will be posted on our website, www.RiverCreekFarms.com, as they become available and will also be available sale day.

If you would like to view the bulls and our operation prior to the sale feel free to give us a call and stop by. We appreciate the fellowship of past and potential customers. Kim enojoys preparing a home cooked meal for our bull customers who stop by and since the kids have all moved out of the house, I appreciate actually getting a home cooked meal every once and awhile.

We hope to see you February 13th. Plan on coming early to look at the cattle and enjoy a ribeye steak lunch with us.

Special thanks to our dedicated team that handles most of the daily tasks at River Creek Farms!

SATISFACTION GUARANTEE Full satisfaction guarantee for every animal that sells.

Every bull sells with a “First Breeding Season Guarantee".

VOLUME DISCOUNT Anyone who purchases 3 bulls is eligible for a 3% discount, 4 bulls - 4%, and 5 or more is eligible for a 5% discount. .

TRUCKING Free Delivery on bulls to customers within 300 miles of Manhattan. If you are located farther than 300 miles we will make arrangements and pay for half the expense elsewhere in the continental United States. We will guarantee your transportation costs do not exceed $300 per head. $100 discount if you haul your purchased bulls home sale day.

CATTLE CARE OPTION River Creek Farms will take the bulls home and continue to develop them until April 1st, free of charge.

We will then make arrangments with you to deliver the bull(s).

RETAINED SEMEN INTEREST River Creek Farms will retain 1/3 semen interest on all bulls in the offering. You will own full possession and salvage value of the bull. In the event that semen sales become a reality on your purchase, River Creek Farms will retain the rights to 1/3 of semen sales revenue. River Creek Farms retained semen interest remains if the bull is sold to a third party.

BULL DEVELOPMENT We performance test the bulls on a ration designed for 3.0 pounds per day gain and in lots one-half mile long to ensure adequate exercise. We believe this adequately conditions the bulls for breeding with sound feet and legs while enabling them to exhibit their gain ratio. You may notice the fall bulls have lower adjusted yearling weights than the spring bulls. The fall bulls were run on grass last summer without supplementation from May 1 to September 1. Consequently, their yearling weights, WDA, and ribeye areas are smaller than the spring bulls. You should not use the data to compare the two groups of bulls but use it to compare bulls within each age group.

FOUR YEAR GUARANTEE ON EVERY BULL All bulls sell with a four breeding season guarantee on feet and semen. If his semen or feet go bad we will provide a credit for the breeding seasons left to complete. Credit issued will be purchase price minus salvage value. Credit reduces 25% of that value for each breeding season completed. Feet will be covered for unsoundness not caused by illness, foot rot or other bulls. Vet statement must be provided for semen test or soundness and with statement bull is in good health and condition.

Using API & TI API & TI can help simplify the bull buying process.

Zero in on the unit difference between bulls. The difference can be used to determine how much a bull is worth compared to another.

For example, when buying an all-purpose-type sire, you can 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).

Why Buy A River Creek Farms Bull?

Why River Creek Farm’s Bulls will maximize your Angus based cowherd’s profit: 1. Proven Calving Ease, Customer Validated for over 30 years.

2. Increase Weaning Weights with Hybrid Vigor 3. Enhance Disposition, Carcass and Maternal Traits 4. Maintain a Moderate Frames Size While Increasing Thickness 5. Higher Profit Potential, Based on Economically Relevant Traits $API & $TI.

The Power of Heterosis There is a reason every kernel of corn planted in this country is a hybrid. It’s the same reason every commercial market hog, chicken, turkey and even catfish are hybrids. The power of heterosis is enormous.

The Goal: Produce for the Market According to Tom Brink of Five Rivers Ranch Cattle Feeding, LLC (10 feedyards, 811,000 capacity), Five Rivers first choice in feeders is the Angus /Continental cross, 50% to 75% Angus and 25% to 50% Continental. This blend of Angus and Continental cattle “creates a good feeding, good grading, good yielding animal that is usually the right size.”

The Perfect Combination Higher percentage British cattle often lack muscle, yield and produce too many Yield Grade 4s. Higher percentage Continental cattle often lack grade and often get to big before they finish. A balanced combination of Angus and Continental breeding is tough to beat. This is solidified by the data below.

Our Commitment to Your Success

The Bonus: The Crossbred Cow In addition to heavier calves, research shows that producers who keep crossbred heifers as replacements will realize an average 38% greater longevity and 25% increase in production.

The Solution

Trait

Improvement over Straight-Breds

The simple solution is to use River Creek Farms Purebred bulls on Longevity 38% longer (1.2 years) Angus based cows to create SimAngus feeders and replacement Calf Weight Weaned 25% more production females. Our bulls have generaNet Profit Breakeven costs 10% lower tions of calving ease, performance in a moderate frame and maternal Source: Montana State University longevity bred in. Ideal for crossbreeding with the Angus based cow. Our customers that are doing this now report no calving problems, increased weaning weights and high buyer acceptance.

The second option is to use River Creek Farms ¾ or ½ SimAngus bulls on crossbred cows to create a percentage feeder and replacement.

River Creek Farms is a diversified family operation owned and operated by the Mertz families.

River Creek Farms is a diversified family operation owned and operated by the Mertz families. The family’s interest in cattle began in 1891. Today, the business continues with third generation Harold D. and Jeanne Mertz, fourth generation Joe and Kim Mertz and Bob and Mary Mertz as operating partners. Joe manages the cowherd and Bob manages the crops. Mary and Kim provide all the administrative support required to the run the business. And Harold and Jeanne contribute critical insight and advice on an ongoing basis.

The farm headquarters is located approximately nine miles east of Manhattan along K18, in the Kaw Valley River bottom.

Our main crops are corn and soybeans, with some wheat and alfalfa on leased and owned cropland. Most of this cropland is in the river valley with some upland ground. We do some irrigation with center pivots and flood irrigation. During the summer the cattle graze Bluestem pastures in the beautiful Flint Hills south of our farm and utilize the cornstalks in the fall and winter.

Joe introduced Simmental to our Hereford cowherd by way of artificial insemination in 1970. Around the same time we became members of the American Simmental Association. Our breeding philosophy is the same today as it was 43 years ago. We have concentrated on producing cattle that will thrive under range conditions while focusing on the economically relevant traits for Calving Ease, Growth, Maternal and Carcass Value. Recently, we have used proven Angus sires to produce SimAngus to give our customers more breeding options.
