Welcome to the

SON RANCH W8IthLAnnual Bull Sale Thank you for your interest in our 8th Annual Bull Sale.

Thank you for your interest in our 8th Annual Bull Sale. We are pleased to present to you and offer for sale what we believe to be the highest quality set of bulls from end to end that we have produced to date.

We weaned bulls a bit earlier than usual this year because of drought conditions. All bulls were weaned on October 25, 2017 and are March, April and May calves who ranged with their mother’s in rough Wyoming pasture conditions with no creep feed or supplement other than salt and mineral. Weaning weights were recorded on all bulls and they were fed in one group in a 60 acre pasture where they had plenty of exercise.

Good quality forage was in short supply this year so the bulls were fed old grass hay, wheat hay and most anything the cow herd was fed to get through the winter with the addition of Purina Mills Accuration.

Our intention was to grow the bulls in a range environment where they would maintain good feet and legs. While rate of gain is secondary to proper growth and development, we weighed all bulls again on December 28, 2017 to give buyers data on how each bull gained in comparison to the group in the same conditions. The group gained averaged 3.9 pounds per day over this period despite the nasty and cold weather.

We are pleased to have our sale at St. Onge Livestock again and hope to see you there when we offer our bulls for your inspection and purchase. Our offering will include an outstanding group of yearling bulls raised in ranch country with no pampering or feedlot. We raised the bar on quality when we selected bulls last fall and kept only outstanding animals which were chosen without regard to parentage, date of birth or breed percentage. Birth weight, disposition, performance, phenotype and soundness were primary considerations.

Thanks to all of our friends, neighbors and past customers for your support in past years. We look forward to seeing you in St. Onge each year on the last Friday in March.

Wayne, Susan and Kellen Wilson

Lot 40 – Super clean and stylish strip faced bull that is athletic and hard to miss. Was sick when weaned but gained impressively after he recovered. He was pretty excided after clipping. Has calmed down now adequately but we will be watching his disposition closely from now to sale time.

Wilson Ranch 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 sire’s 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).

The 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 a 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 would 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 all-purpose-sire scenario (See below for more details.)

Back Fat (BF): Inches of back fat.

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 (CME): 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 are 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.
