Christensen Simmental 45th Annual Production Sale

Simmental -AndSimAngus

Christensen Simmental's 45th annual sale!

This is a Video Auction

Cattle will be viewed on video screens in the sale ring and not be run through the ring, the auction format will remain the same. Cattle will be penned outside the barn for viewing prior to and during the auction. We feel you will get a better view of the cattle on the video than you do in a small ring. The videos will be available to be seen prior to the sale on DV Auction under production sales.

All bulls have been semen tested and are guaranteed breeders. If a bull proves to be a non-breeding animal, Christensen’s will replace the bull with one of like type if possible. Otherwise the buyer will receive sale credit minus salvage value to be used at the 2017 sale.

Please notify us by September 1, 2016. For your own protection, you may choose to purchase mortality insurance on your purchase.

Terms of the Sale

Some of these bulls may develop into a herdsire from which we may want to collect semen in the future.

Therefore, we would like to retain a 25% semen interest in each bull in the sale. This could mean collecting semen in your “off season,” at our expense. This will not interfere with ownership of the bulls or salvage value. On the “right” bull, it could be valuable to both the buyer and the seller. Bulls are semen tested.

Announcements

Announcements made sale day take precedence over printed material in the sale catalog. Anyone attending this sale attends at his/her own risk. Neither Christensen Simmental nor any of the sale force will be held responsible for any personal injury while attending this sale.

Quick Reference 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 percentileranking 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 allpurpose-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.

EPDs

$ 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. A higher API value also reflects the longevity of females retained in the herd.

Terminal Index (TI): Evaluates sire for use on mature Angus cows with all offspring put on feed and sold grade and yield. This EPD value is comparable to the $ Beef value calculated in the Angus breed, however it’s not accurate to compare various breed values to others.

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-purposetype 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 visit www.simmental.org.

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 terminalsire 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.
