Fellow cattlemen,
We would like to welcome your evaluation of the 2015 Lienetics bulls to sell on March 8th. It is satisfying to see the continued demand in the marketplace for all types of cattle, and the advantages of high quality cattle with the additional strength and traits to profit producers. Congratulations to our many past customers that we have seen set all time sale$ topping records with their Lienetics sired cattle, and the feed-back they have provided regarding the
consistent quality, performance, and convenience traits these genetics avail. We welcome new customers to see how an investment in optimum performance Angus Bulls can add significant value to your program. These yearling bulls offered will go out and work for you. They are designed with extra thickness, performance, carcass merit, and are structurally sound with good dispositions. It is our goal to develop these bulls to keep your investment “in-condition” while breeding. If you feel you need an older bull to cover larger groups, our program has developed aged fall born bulls for your review as lots 5157. in this catalog, we have provided what we feel are the basic performances traits necessary to make informed purchases and breeding decisions. Other EPD’s and Values are also individually available in the Angus database. If desired, please lets us know or go online to www.angus.org, and view the complete performance pedigree. Bulls are produced by females with function and performance in an environment of minimal inputs that include early spring and summer grass (no creep), fall and winter residue grazing, and hay in
the months of February (minimal days), March and April. They are continually required to perform effectively and efficiently in a low input environment and with minimal intervention. Constant selection pressure for these right type genetics will allow us to always meet and most likely far exceed your expectations with your genetic purchase. Progeny that don’t meet our high standards are sorted and sent to the feedlot for additional evaluation and herd improvements. Additionally, and although they don’t get to sit on the sidelines for the rest of the year, and are expect to breed back with the herd

after a flush, a very select few females of whom have excelled in fertility, type and performance, are chosen to provide added genet ics through our Embryo Transfer program. These exceptional genetics are presented through the catalog as full brothers and can be utilized to add sire group consistency to programs, or find that very elite animal for your program. The progressive and optimum genetics offered will increase profits at all levels of production. That means they: calve easy and are vigorous at birth, are efficient foragers, have high growth and conversion, are sound and structurally correct, are fertile and maternally efficient, with premium udders, and will produce a heavy and high quality carcass for the packer, retailer, and consumer. If you are part of the total production and profit chain, please join us, or contact us to arrange purchases on sale day. Satisfaction Guaranteed!
Sincerely,
Trevor L. Lienemann 402-560-5385

Optimum Impact is the greatest Angus sire in the history of our program, and will continue as a maternal legend. Optimum Impact is structurally and phenotypically ideal with a big hip, strong top, and plenty of rib. He is a proven performance sire with the high indexing son in 2012 at MBT. This optimum power bull had a birth weight of 78 lb. but turned in weaning and yearling ratios of 111 and 110 respectively. He is also strong for marbling and ribeye values and has a $Beef value in the top 10% of the breed. Let this powerful stock bull have an optimum impact on your herd.

FALL BORN BULLS We have began a fall cow herd to offer you some aged bulls. The fall born bulls offered for sale are from outstanding dams and nursed on corn stover, same as the spring cows. They are weaned in March and turned out on grass for the summer, and combined with the spring born bulls for development on test. They have not been offered for auction previously and are front end type bulls with a ton of future. They will cover big pastures and settle a large volume of females while maintaining their condition. Their progeny will add additional profit to your operation

Exponential Impact
by Nicole Lane
What do you get when a researcher and a CPA decide to buy 6 registered Angus cows? Well twenty years later Trevor and Torri Lienemann of Princeton, Neb., have four kids, a 300-cow seedstock operation and lots and lots of data. It was the numbers that Trevor had never been able to see before in cattle that helped them quickly multiply their cowherd. The more he learned about cattle, the more their operation grew until 2008 he quit the day job to become a full-time, firstgeneration cattle rancher. “Being called the business breed and being a CPA, the two meshed very well,” says Torri. Not having a background in Angus or cattle, Trevor became a student of the business and the breed. Once he learned something he yearned to share it with his bull customers. But not until the data had been verified, of course. While he says they were in their “rookie season” for the first 10 years, Trevor longed to be able to feed out his cattle to validate his ultrasound data. When corn reached $7 per bushel he took the plunge and started a customer buyback program. His commitment to numbers paid off. His first group of fed cattle earned 65% Certified Angus Beef® acceptance, and his customer-bought cattle earned 35% CAB with the whole group grading 100% Choice. A seedstock producer who concentrates on the end product, Trevor works hard to help his customers maintain the same vision. “We work to help our commercial guys realize that their customer isn’t the sale barn where they deliver their cattle; their customer is the consumers in the grocery store and the retail outlets for beef,” says Trevor. The buyback program brings it full circle for this family. Trevor admits that if he could collect data on the eating quality of the steaks his cattle produce, he would gladly apply that to his herd selections, too. “We realize our effect on the industry is exponential through our bull sales. When you start doing the math on selling 50 bulls a year that will breed 25 cows per year and last about four years, you are starting to effect a lot of individual carcasses out there,” says Trevor. “And a lot of eating experiences, too,” his daughter Maci adds. What started with just six cows, now affects an immeasurable number of meals – and the Lienemanns are working hard to make sure those eating experiences are top quality. 38
Maci Lienemann University of Nebraska-Lincoln Maci Lienemann, top undergraduate award winner, sees a sustainable U.S. beef herd as the keystone. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln junior wrote, “Our industry must begin capitalizing on current industry advancements, in addition to developing and initiating new innovative practices that will enable us to produce the kind of nutritional sustenance necessary to feed an ever growing global population.”

Lienemann Cattle Co. is proud to participate and excel in the Midland Bull Test (MBT) and Sale, the “Granddaddy of Performance Testing” at Columbus, MT. Only the best come to participate, and with typically over 800 Angus bulls from all over the nation competing for high honors, this has been the ultimate test of our genetics and their place in the beef industry and the world today. This is the 10th year we will be part of the great Midland tradition. Past success includes 4th High Gain Sire Group, and 6th Overall Bull for gain, and 2012 Champion ADG bull. Bulls having went to distinguished purebred operations such as Winding River, Vermillion Ranches, Wagonhammer Ranches, Whitestone Krebs, and others. This year we are offering three optimum performance bull prospects on that sale, April 4th, 2015. (lot 97, 98, 99) If you have further interest in these bulls, contact Trevor or MBT or view videos and data on-line at www.midlandbulltest.com

All natural protein supplement for heifers, brood cows, stocker cattle and horses. SweetPro 16 protein supplement is designed for the essential fortification of heifers, brood cow, stocker cattle and goat requirements for vitamins A, D and E plus protein, calcium, phosphorus and trace elements including selenium. Daily intake will vary depending on forage quality and nutritional needs. SweetPro blocks improve calving and clean-up. Stronger calves pay bigger dividends. SweetPro blocks are an effective tool to improve breed-back. Organic complexed (chelated) minerals plus extra energy are known to improve first service conception rates. Using SweetPro blocks at weaning reduces calf weight loss by reducing weaning stress and cows consistently wean heavier, “growthy” calves without risk of dis-

EPDs and $Values We have the following abbreviations throughout this book with regard to EPDs and actual data. $ Values are expressed in terms of real dollars for a combination of related traits. Expected Progeny Difference (EPD), is the prediction of how future progeny of each animal are expected to perform relative to the progeny of other animals listed in the database. EPDs are expressed in units of measure for the trait, plus or minus. Remember, no EPD is an absolute. It simply allows
you to compare genetic differences in sires. $Value indexes, are multi-trait selection indexes to assist beef producers by adding simplicity to genetic selection decisions. The $Value is an estimate of how future progeny of each sire are expected to perform, on average, compared to progeny of other sires in the database if the sires were randomly mated to cows and if calves were exposed to the same environment.
BW
Birth Weight, expressed in pounds, is a predictor of the animals ability to transmit birth weight to his progeny Compared to that of other sires
WW
Weaning Weight, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit weaning growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires.
Milk
Influence of the dam, due to her milking ability, on weaning weight, expressed in pounds of calf weaned.
YW
Yearling Weight, expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit yearling growth to his progeny compare to other sires
MARB
Expressed as a fraction of the difference USDA marbling score of a sire’s progeny compared to others
REA
Ribeye area, expressed in square inches, and a given end point comparatively
FAT
Fat thickness, expressed in inches, at a given end point
CW
Expressed in pounds, a predictor of the differences in hot carcass weight of a sires progeny comparatively
$W
In dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for pre-weaning merit, and includes both revenue and cost adjustments in BW, WW, Milk, and Mature cow size
$B
In dollars per head, it is the expected average difference in progeny performance for post weaning and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires
Adj WW
Actual weaning weight adjusted to a common number of days(205) for proper comparison of individuals
$F
In $/per head, the expected averaged difference in future progeny for postweaning merit compared to other sires
CE
My combined calving ease scoring based on production history : **** Recommend any heifers *** Recommend heifers with large frame or monitor ** Recommend on cows for performance * Extra BW similar to Exotic or Crossbred bulls
CED
Is expressed as a difference in the % of unassisted births of a sire when mated to first calf heifers. 47
