Lance Ficken, John Ficken, David LeRoy and Craig Rucker Dear Friends, Welcome to the Mid-Kansas Angus Breeders 23rd annual production sale. We have a great offering of bulls to sell on March 21st, and we invite you to come early, look them over, and join us for lunch. The bulls range from yearlings to two year olds. They have had their shots and their tests and are ready to go. Although we offer different genetics through three breeding programs, we all have the same goals: fertility, calving ease, above average growth, good carcass values, strong maternal traits, good disposition, and moderate cow size. The bulls will be penned at the LaCrosse sale barn by 10:00 sale day as usual. We will be having a video auction again, so come early if you want to look at the bulls. If you are unable to attend the sale you can bid online at lmaauctions.com. You will have to go online and register two days before the sale if you plan to do this. Check out our website at midkab.com. There will be updates to the catalog available on sale day. If you need any more information or want to see the bulls before the sale, feel welcome to stop by or call anytime. Once again, we want to thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you on March 21st. Mid-Kansas Angus Breeders

Ficken Angus Farms

Ficken Angus Farms John Ficken Family Ficken Angus Farms was started in 1940 by my parents. That herd was dispersed in 1968 due to drought. My wife and I started a new herd in 1972 with three cows from the Green Garden herd at Ellsworth, KS. Two more cows were added the next year from Willard Ericson at Marquette, KS. From that meager start we applied our philosophy to breeding Angus cattle. Our three children showed cattle and were involved with the operation until they were out of high school, except our youngest son, Lance, who maintained a small group of cows. He and his wife have now become major partners in the operation. Our ideas of how cattle should perform have not changed from the beginning. Cattle exist to produce meat; that is the goal. We expect our cattle to be better than average in the major EPDs and dollar traits. We have never bred for extremes in any one trait, and our herd has always been selected for calving ease, structural soundness, good udders, and carcass quality. Our mission to produce cattle that the commercial cattleman can make a profit at any level they choose to sell, and the buyers will want those cattle again. That goal is an ever moving target; we are getting closer to the bulls-eye every calf crop.

We focus on high maternal traits, strong growth, and moderate milk as well as keeping carcass traits in mind as we make breeding decisions. It is my hope and belief that you will like the cattle you see as you look through our offering. If there is anything we can do to assist you with your seedstock needs, please let me know.

Sire EPDs: CE 6; BW 2.2; WW 65; YW 96; Milk 12; MB .45; RE 96; API 130; TI 75 Truly outstanding individual. Impressive thickness and power from end to end. Huge soft middle with plenty of muscle shape. The maternal quality runs deep from both sides of his pedigree. Sired by the 2016 National Champion Simmental bull.

I’m a fan of the 819 bull. Here’s another good one. Good in his design and performance. BR 111; WR 108. Dam’s NR 2@106.

Low-birth-weight EPDs

Looking at a single trait on EPDs costs performance and money. By David Gazda Regional manager, American Angus Association

One of the most common concerns I hear from commercial producers using Angus genetics is the size of calves at birth. Instinctively, my first thought is that the producers experienced calving problems due to the calves being too large at birth. However, the problem generally tends to be just the opposite, where the calves have been extremely small and light at birth, struggled to nurse and never caught up with their contemporaries from a growth standpoint.

At the risk of being controversial, many of these small calf scenarios could be eliminated if the producers would simply be willing to accept more birth weight, particularly when breeding mature cows. One only has to attend a production or test station sale to witness firsthand how the heavier- birthweight-EPD bulls are penalized and therefore sell at a substantial discount. Have calving-ease and lowbirth-weight EPDs been overemphasized to commercial producers? Maybe; maybe not.

Upon visiting with the producer and reviewing the bull’s registration certificate and EPD profile, I usually discover a common theme – the producer had been selecting primarily for calving-ease, low-birthweight-EPD bulls with no regard to any other traits. This is certainly understandable if the producer is breeding heifers and needs a certain level of calving ease delivered by low-birth-weight Angus bulls. Furthermore, in the southeast, like many other areas of the country where cow herds are relatively small, the herd bull may have to be multipurpose, breeding both heifers and mature cows with, again, emphasis being placed on calving ease.

Regardless, the commercial producer equates Angus genetics with calving ease, fertility, maternal strength and carcass quality, and as seedstock producer we are challenged daily to deliver those genetics. In closing, producers need to select bulls that allow them to reach their production goals; however, single-trait selection based upon an individual’s birth weight EPD may needlessly sacrifice additional pounds at weaning. Next time you are in the market for a bull, don’t discriminate against a little more birth weight EPD. You will still receive the calving ease you have always expected from Angus and a few extra dollars in your pocket at weaning!

BULLS

LeRoy Angus David & Leslie LeRoy We began our registered Angus herd in 1984 with cows from the herd of Leslie’s Grandpa, Isom Wright, a long-time Angus breeder in the Great Bend area. We began using Angus Herd Improvement Records (AHIR) and have been working ever since to produce cattle that will do an excellent job for the commercial cattleman. We added genetics from Glenn LeRoy’s herd starting in 1992, and partnered with him until his retirement. Our continuing goal is to produce sound breeding cattle with excellent fertility, efficient growth, moderate frame, carcass quality, and good disposition. We are located west of Great Bend, Kansas. You are welcome to visit any time.

Expected Progeny Differences EPDs are a prediction of how future progeny of a sire or dam are expected to perform in each of the traits listed. EPDs are expressed in pounds for growth traits and milk production. Each animal is compared to every other animal in the herdbook. You might expect that the average EPD would be 0, but that is not the case. Here are the current average EPDs for non-parent bulls. CED +6

PATHFINDER PROGRAM: A Search for Superior Cows The Pathfinder Angus program was started in 1978 in an effort to identify superior cows in the breed based on their records of performance from Angus Herd Improvement Records (AHIR). To become a Pathfinder (indicated by a # in front of her name in the pedigree -- shown in this catalog as a # behind her name in the pedigree), a cow must calve her first time near the herdâ€™s average for first calving and yearly after that. She must wean at least three calves with an average weaning ratio of 105 or above. To be a Pathfinder sire, a bull must have five or more Pathfinder daughters.

NOTES

The percentages shown below the EPDs designate each animalâ€™s ranking within the Angus breed.
