HOFMANN SIMMENTAL FARMS

BUY YOUR WAY Bull Sale 12 No.

FEBRUARY 27 - MARCH 6, 2021 at the farm, Clay Center, KS

SELLING 54 SIMMENTAL & SIMGENETIC BULLS

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

Greetings!

Welcome to our 12th annual sale. Looking back at our 2020 catalog letter, we said “we look forward to better and exciting times ahead”. The rest of 2020 certainly caused some excitement but we sure got the “better” part wrong! We appreciated the mild winter, but that has changed as we go to press with this catalog.

If you’re new to our sale, you will find that this format is different than most, with some of the bulls selling as private treaty and others available at auction with bidding taking place all week. This is the most simple, cost effective way for us to accomplish our goals and has been well received. You can read more about our format on page 3 and we welcome your questions about it. Our sale format lends itself to Covid restrictions and safety concerns of our times. Every day of the week is open house and you are able to view the bulls at your leisure without crowds.

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.

With the addition of BOLT and genomic-enhanced EPDs, you may see some differences in our numbers, but the genetics are the same. Most of the bulls this year have GE-enhanced EPDs and we plan to collect DNA for genomic testing on all of the bulls next year.

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.

Catalog Data Age: Age in months, as of March 6, 2021

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

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

Scrotal measurements will be available by sale day.

Ultrasound

Weights: All weights have been adjusted for age.

Ultrasound was performed by Mike Lindell of High-Tech Beef.

The American Simmental Assn. made adjustments (from ultrasound lab interpretations) for 12 months of age and contemporary groups.

Frame scores: Keep in mind that hip heights are difficult to take and a small difference in measurement can make a big difference in frame score. Please evaluate the bulls in person for size.

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 and REA are 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.

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 direct you to video 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.

Following are abbreviated BIF descriptions for scores of 1-3 [descriptions of exit scores and descriptions of wild cattle are omitted] 1 = Docile. Mild disposition. Gentle and easily handled. Stands and moves slowly during processing. Undisturbed, settled, somewhat dull.

Using API and TI 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 will change from the time this catalog was printed until registration papers are transferred.

CE BW WW YW MCE Milk MW CW YG Marb BF REA API TI

Calving Ease Birth Weight Weaning Weight Yearling Weight Maternal CE Maternal Milk Maternal WW Carcass Weight Yield Grade Marbling Back Fat Ribeye Area All Purpose Index Terminal Index

% unassisted births from two-year old heifers pounds of birth weight pounds of weaning weight due to growth pounds of yearling weight due to growth % unassisted births from two-year old daughters pounds of weaning weight due to dam’s milk pounds of weaning weight due to dam’s milk and growth pounds of carcass weight tenths of a USDA Yield Grade percent of a marbling score or %IMF inches of fat thickness square inches of ribeye dollars of value if daughters are retained dollars of value for terminal purposes

2

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

 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 2.5#/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 .23. We have managed the bulls this way because the last thing you need is to turn out a bull that will fall apart.

DNA and Genomics Most of the bulls have been DNA tested and have Genomically-Enhanced EPDs published (as noted in the comments section). We plan to collect and submit

DNA for genomic testing on all of the bulls next year.

Genomics were thought to be the way of the future, but in all reality, the future is now.

The Buy Your Way sale ring advantage

The health of the bulls has again been outstanding.

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.

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.

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!]

Please contact us if you have any questions.
