Welcome to the 18th Annual Sunflower Genetics Production Sale On behalf of the entire Gleason Family, we would like to invite you to be our guest March 21st.

Every year we look forward to this day and this year is more exciting than ever at Sunflower Genetics. I don’t remember a more exciting time to be in the cow/calf business than right now. It doesn’t matter who you talk to, or what you hear or read, prices are at an all time high and the future looks even better.

For over 30 years, our cow herd has focused on producing bulls that work for our customers. Many things have changed over those 30+ years, but many have stayed the same. Our ability to find the cream of the crop has been fine tuned over the years, however we still stay focused on our three basic principles of providing genetics. My dad, Maurice, was very instrumental in getting us on the right path many years ago and his advice still holds true today. He stressed that for our business to work for our customers we had to have these three principles. 1. We provide a product our customer not only wants, but needs to be successful. 2. Our genetics are dependable, consistent and predictable without any surprises. 3. Most importantly, stand behind our genetics 100% and make every decision based upon the profit of our customers. To this day we still operate under these three rules.

We have bred our cows to calve easy, grow fast and produce a carcass that is wanted by the consumer. We feel as we are on the right track and our genetic trends on page 5 reflect our goals very well. We have improved our calving ease while increasing post weaning gain. Both represent the direction we push our genetics. The API and TI charts also show our direction in genetic improvement made in these traits along with the improved carcass traits.

Family has always been an important part of our ranch and it continues today. Jake returned home after graduating from Kansas State and Virginia Tech. He works with the cow herd and probably most noticeable is his work with our advertising, web site and catalog production. Ben will graduate from Kansas State this spring and is planning to return home with his focus on the reproduction side of the cow herd. Needless to say, the help is welcome. Becky is employed in Topeka and helps out when she can. Joe is a freshman at Fort Scott Community College and Sam is a freshman in high school.

We look forward to seeing you March 21st and if we can be of any help or assistance, please feel free to call anytime.

Home phone 785-256-6461 (not accessible sale day), Steve 785-640-8060, Jake 785-640-8062 or Ben 785-6409390.

The Gleasons

Carcass EPD Explanation

Color and Polled Status Homozygous - Sire all black or polled calves Heterozygous - Red calves may be sired by bulls, depending on the genetic color status of the cows BW........Adjusted birth weight WW......Adjusted weaning weight calculated by adjusting actual weaning weight to 205 days of age accounting for age of dam.

YW........Adjusted yearling weight calculated by adjusting actual yearling weight to 365 days of age. The yearling weights included in the catalog have been calculated but are not official and may change slightly.

SC & FS Scrotal and Frame Scores will be available sale day.

CW........Estimates average differences in carcass weight. Expressed in pounds at a given age endpoint.

YG.........Yield grade EPD predicts differences in pogeny carcass yield grade scores at 475 days of age.

Marb.....Marbling EPD predicts the average difference in USDA Quality Grade in an animal’s progeny, when compared to the progeny of another animal at a given age endpoint.

BF..........Back fat EPD is expressed in inches of back fat, a predictor in the difference of inches of carcass back fat at 475 days of age.

REA.......Predicts the average difference in REA in an animal’s progeny, when compared to the progeny of another sire.

EPD Explanation

Explanation of Selection Indexes

CE.........Calving ease EPD predicts the average difference in ease with which a sire’s calves will be born when bred to 1st calf heifers. Expressed as a percentage of unassisted births with a higher value being more desirable.

BW........Expressed in pounds and predict the average difference that can be expected in an animal’s offspring when compared to the average.

WW......Expressed in pounds and predict the average differences in weight that can be expected between the progeny of animals in the same genetic evaluation at 205 days fo age.

YW........Expressed in pounds and predict the average differences that can be expected between the progeny of animals at one year of age.

MCE.....Predicts the average ease with which a sire’s daughters will calve as 1st calf heifers when compared to the daughters of another sire in the same evaluation. Expressed as percentage of unassisted births.

MM.......Reflects the average differences in weaning weight that can be expected in grand progeny due to the milking ability of a bull’s daughters. Available feed resources will dictate the extent to which milking ability should be selected.

MWW..Pounds of weaning weight due to milk and growth.

Explained are the selection indexes we primarily use when selecting bulls to breed our cows. As such they are the ones provided in the catalog. If you wish to look at other available selection idexes feel free to look up individual animals using the registration number next to their respective sale box.

Angus $EN...... Expressed in dollar savings per cow per year, based on a sires daughters. Takes into account lactation energy requirements and differences in mature cow size. $W........Weaned calf value index is expressed in dollars per head and is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for pre-weaning merit. $W includes differences in BW, WW, MM, and mature cow size. Similar to API. $B..........Beef value index is expressed in dollars per head and is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for post-weaning and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires. Similar to TI. Simmental API........Use if selling calves as well as keeping your own replacement females. API takes into account a balance of maternal and terminal traits to put a $ value on the economic impact per cow exposed. Similar to $W. TI..........Use if selling all calves and not keeping replacement females. TI determines the $ value of a bull per cow exposed.

Traits of importance to this selection tool are of the growth and potential carcass value. Ignoring all maternal traits.

Genetics that come easy, grow, and fit about any situation

EPDs are a good indicator of the differences in a group of bulls or heifers. As such, they are a valuable tool to use in the buying process. Before you can turn to the EPDs, a look in the mirror can prove advantagous. Ask yourself a few questions.

1. What kind of cowherd do I have?

2. How do I market my calves?

3. Do I keep replacement heifers?

4. What are my feed and labor resources?

5. Where do I want to take this cowherd/business?

Your situation is unique in many ways and by no means are these the only questions you may ask. Use the data to help find the bulls that fit into your program. If you desire, we can help in your decision making process.

Using EPDs and selection indexes in your decision making process can be very confusing or very simple. The sheer number of available tools can be daunting that is one reason

for using selection indexes. However, the way indexes are calculated is a confusing process that involves settling on a desired goal and backtracking to find the economically relevant traits to achieve that goal and weighting them based on significance. Therefore, if a bull is extremely superior for a certain trait and lacking in another, the superior trait may cancel out the inferior trait. Who’s to say that negative trait isn’t the most important one when your herd is the subject. Therefore, while indexes can make things much easier, caution should be used because sometimes 1 number just doesn’t tell the whole story. At Sunflower Genetics we are focused on the value of selection indexes because of the economic affect they can have and the simplicity of their final nature. At the same time we try to keep an eye on the big picture to make sure all the important numbers are in line with what we deem acceptable.

If you have any questions concerning EPDs or selection indexes feel free to talk to us prior to the sale or ask on sale day. www.SunflowerGenetics.com • 5

Heterosis | It’s Like A Free Lunch What is Heterosis?

Creating Maximum Heterosis

Heterosis can be defined as increase in such characteristics as size, growth rate, fertility, and yield of a hybrid organism over those of its parents. Plant and animal breeders exploit heterosis by mating two different purebred lines that have desirable traits. The first-generation offspring generally show, in greater measure, the desired characteristics of both parents.

Why Simmental and Angus?

To maximize heterosis, breeds need to be genetically different. Therefore a continental and british breed are a good place to start. One advantage is that both breeds have potentail to be homozygous black, enabling offspring to capitilize on a color driven cattle market. Also, why not combine two of the industries most powerful breeds. Supporting evidence can be found in the table below.

The first step to achieving a goal is to know what the goal is and then to gain knowledge of how to get there. Across the page is a definition of heterosis. As it relates to creating maximum heterosis, two different purebred lines need to be used. The more different the breeds the more heterosis is gained. The result is an animal with the most heterozygous genes as possible. However, the challenge is to maximize heterosis while not sacraficing consistancy, color and polled status.

This is were our 25 years of experience comes in and what we feel can be described as the “Perfect Blend of Genetics Designed for Profit$.”

We strive to create as much heterosis as we can while not turning our back on the end product as it relates to the entirety of the calf crop/cowherd.

This research validates that Simmental and Angus are two of the industrys most powerful breeds. Why not combine them? We have been doing so for 25 years and counting. The benefits of crossing the two breeds was immediately evident. Beginning with heavier weaning weights in the fall. However, the best was yet to come. When it came time to breed the resulting heifer progeny we experienced higher conception rates, both as heifers and as 3 year olds, when compared to the purebreds. All because of the power of heterosis.

How do I Effectively Capitalize on Heterosis?

The above table outlines our suggestions as it relates to heterosis and how to incorporate our three different bull breed options.

The simplist way to inject heterosis is to utilize the SimAngus bulls. These bulls are compatable with british, commercial mix, continental and SimAngus females. Even still, we feel like the SimAngus bulls are most valuable to a set of mixed commercial cows. What makes these bulls so well suited for commercial mixed cows is the versatility they bring to the table. In a setting where some cows need a calving ease bull while others need a shot of growth a SimAngus bull brings a balanced package with the bonus of heterosis. Another scenerio where we feel a SimAngus bull earns his keep is in smaller operations. Here again the need for a heifer bull limits the potential pounds weaned by mature cows. Why buy 2 bulls when you only need one? For best results use purebred bulls on the opposite breed cows. The blend of brisith and continental cattle is one you will be happy with.

Through the years we have gained knowledge about what purebred genetics compliment one another.

Not sure where to start other than A337 is the complete package. He excelled in almost every trait. Starting off with a 78# birth weight, he went on to post an impressive 749# adjusted weaning weight with a 120 ratio. Followed that up with an equally impressive 1380# adjusted yearling weight with a 116 ratio. Maybe his most outstanding stat is his 21 inch rib-eye area measurement! I gaurantee you’ll drive a lot of miles and study a stack of catalogs to find a bull that can match his performance. His EPD profile puts him well above average in all traits and of course he shines on the growth traits and is in the top 1% in REA. His API and TI are also at the top of the breed. Phenotypically he is also a standout.

If you study his pedigree on the cow side, you will also find an equally impressive cow. His dam has raised 7 calves with a 365 day calving interval that have ratioed on average of 110 at birth, yes that is an average of 10% lighter at birth! Those 7 calves averaged 75# at birth but yet weaned off with an average ratio of 105 and went on to average 107 at yearling. Start them small and grow them big is how we want our calves and 410 does it as good as any cow in the herd. The big rib-eye is also no surprise as her calves average 117 on this trait.

Genetically they don’t get any better than her. A Sitz Alliance daughter who exemplifies his ability to sire cows who simply work hard for a living. Her dam was sired by Emulation 5522, who many know as the sire of EXT, the mainstay sire of cows in the entire Angus breed. 5522 daughters are known for their fleshing ability and great udder quality. Deeper down in the pedigree is 9J9 and New Trend. Not sure you could make a more maternal, cow making pedigree on any Angus cow.

Undoubtably, the most intriguing SimAngus bull we have ever raised and is a serious herd sire candidate for the most discriminating breeder.

by Rito 6EM3 and out of a 1st calf heifer this bull is a very complete package. Light birth weight followed with great performance as he ratioed 114 at weaning and 111 at yearling. Very impressive for a bull whose calving ease EPD is in the top 5% of the entire breed but yet his weaning and yearling EPD is in the top 10% and 15% respectfully. His birth weight spread from -1.8 to a yearling EPD of 112 is almost unheard of in the breed. A320’s dam is sired by a bull we raised that was a great calving ease sire with added growth. The Opportunity bull worked very well and left an outstanding set of daughters. Y97 did a great job for her 1st calf and we look for great things to come for this really good young cow. In turn, his grand dam is a former show heifer that was shown very successfully. Maybe not quite as successful as her dam, who Jake showed to Reserve Grand Champion Percentage heifer at the South Central Regional Junior Simmental show. She also won several shows and was rarely beat in class no matter where she was shown.

A320 is built very similarly to his sire in terms of moderation of frame with added depth, spring of rib and fleshing ability. All traits some of our Simmental cattle need in today’s environment. He has the look of calving ease with a clean made front end, smooth shoulders and clean bone. But don’t be fooled into thinking he doesn’t have enough power. He ratioed 102 on REA and is in the top 20% for that trait. There’s a chance A320 should have been our Lot 1 bull as he definitely has the performance and pedigree to be a solid candidate for those wanting calving ease and added performance from a solid cow family.

Even the calving ease was outstanding. We used him some on heifers and they all calved un-assisted and the calf vigor was super good. Even though A340 was a twin his performance is outstanding and he himself is an impressive bull to admire. Thick made with added stifle and hip this Hoosier son is cleaner fronted and straighter lined with more eye appeal. Being homozygous black adds to his appeal. If you need a purebred bull with a different pedigree, look no further.

Study his individual performance and the fact he’s as soft made, deep bodied and thick ended as any bull in the sale, and you will have to look him up sale day.

When you find him, you’ll be amazed at his moderate size, impressive depth, and thickness from end to end. His dam is an awesome cow who goes back to the Ebony cow family who is best known for being the dam of Built Right. As a 1st calf heifer 126X had one of the best most, correct udders among all 1st calf heifers. She offers an outcross pedigree to the bottom side of this herd bull prospect.

A362 is one that we have high expectations for whoever his new owner is because of his combination of impressive phenotype, trademark blaze face, and growth performance along with nearly a 17 in REA.

EPDs CED BW WW YW CEM Milk $EN $W $B 9 .6 56 94 10 25 -2.82 45.60 63.21 Where to begin is the question with this years lead Angus bull. 354A has been destined for this slot from the day he was born. You could say he is here because his grand dam has a production record we are very proud of (BWR–6@99, WWR–6@113, YWR–3@110, IMF–4@108 and REA–4@110). Maybe it was because we thought enough of his dam that we thought it was virtually pointless to make her earn her way into our donor program. On the other hand, you could wonder if it is because of the equally predictable top side of his pedigree. Final Answer is still among one of the most used bulls in the breed at 13 years of age, ranking #1 for registrations in 2012. However, when you see him in person, you’ll know that he isn’t just good on paper and one of those bulls that everything points to him being something better than he is. 354A is one of the most exciting Angus bulls we have bred.
