Hereford America - 2023 Melcher Herefords Catalog

ONLINE Production Sale & OPEN HOUSE

Saturday, January 28, 2023

11:30 am • At the Ranch • Page, NE Online Bidding begins Jan. 25. Horse race style closing Jan. 28 @ 1:30 pm.

Welcome...

Welcome to Melcher’s Herefords 2023 ONLINE Production Sale and Open House Celebrating 75 years raising Registered Herefords Selling 24 Fall Yearling bulls.

Online bidding opens Jan. 25, 2023 and closes Horse Race Style at 1:30 pm CST on Jan. 28, 2023. We will have an Open House on Jan. 28 beginning at 11:30 am with lunch provided. The bulls will be on display and On-Site Bidding will be available.

We feel that the offering this year is really impressive. This group of bulls is as good from top to bottom as any we have offered. You’ll be impressed by the quality and uniformity. We have a couple new sire groups that we are really impressed with, as well as the proven sires from the past few years that just keep producing good cattle.

Again this year, we put the fall yearlings “on test” to record how they gain on pasture. We run the bulls on a 30+ acre sandhills pasture all summer with a supplemental high-roughage ration. We took initial weights on Aug. 8 and took the bulls back to the same pasture (not a drylot) and increased the energy in the feed. Final weights were taken 73 days later on Oct. 20 when we ultrasounded them. Average Daily Gain is listed in the footnotes for each bull. We feel that the gains were quite impressive especially since they had access to unlimited grass and were not on full feed.

Our bulls are backed by a cow herd that has stood the test of time. We have selected for balanced EPD’s, correct conformation, and structural soundness for generations.

2023 is our 75th year raising Registered Herefords, and most of the bulls have Melcher raised cows in their pedigrees continuously dating back to the ‘50s and ‘60s. All of the cattle will have passed a breeding soundness exam prior to the sale, and we offer a first breeding season guarantee. Videos can be viewed at www.melcherherefords. com, and www.thelivestocklink.com. The bulls are also available for viewing anytime at the ranch (please call ahead).

We are going to use the same sale format as the past couple of years, an Online auction with a Horse Race style close. This format may be new to some of you, but we feel that this method benefits our customers by eliminating a sale order and by allowing buyers who cannot make it on sale day to participate.

The sale is hosted by The Livestock Link and there are three ways to participate: #1. Bid online at www.thelivestocklink.com. #2. By phone with any of the listed Sale Representatives. #3. In person at the ranch on Jan. 28, 2023. A representative from The Livestock Link will be present to take bids.

(Please see the complete bidding instructions on page 12)

Please contact us if you have any questions about the livestock or the sale format.

Thank you for your interest in our program and we hope to see you on sale day.

Explanation of EPDs CALVING EASE – DIRECT (CE) CE EPD is based on calving ease scores and birth weights and is measured on a percentage. CE EPD indicates the influence of the sire on calving ease in females calving at 2 years of age. For example, if sire A has a CE EPD of 6 and sire B has a CE EPD of -2, then you would expect on average if comparably mated, sire A’s calves would be born with an 8% more likely chance of being unassisted when compared to sire B’s calves.

BIRTH WEIGHT (BW) BW EPD is an indicator trait for calving ease and is measured in pounds. For example, if sire A has a BW EPD of 3.6 and sire B has a BW EPD of 0.6, then you would expect on average if comparably mated, sire A’s calves would come 3 lb. heavier at birth when compared to sire B’s calves. Larger BW EPDs usually, but not always, indicate more calving difficulty. The figure in parentheses found after each EPD is an accuracy value or reliability of the EPD. WEANING WEIGHT (WW) WW EPD is an estimate of pre-weaning growth that is measured in pounds. For example, if sire A has a WW EPD of 60 and sire B has a WW EPD of 40, then you would expect on average if comparably mated, sire A’s calves would weigh 20 lb. heavier at weaning when compared to sire B’s calves.

YEARLING WEIGHT (YW) YW EPD is an estimate of post-weaning growth that is measured in pounds. For example, if sire A has a YW EPD of 100 and sire B has a YW EPD of 70, then you would expect on average if comparably mated, sire A’s calves would weigh 30 lb. heavier at a year of age when compared to sire B’s calves.

MATERNAL MILK (MM) The milking ability of a sire’s daughters is expressed in pounds of calf weaned. It predicts the difference in average weaning weights of sires’ daughters’ progeny due to milking ability. Daughters of the sire with a +14 MM EPD should produce progeny with 205-day weights averaging 24 lb. more (as a result of greater milk production) than daughters of a bull with a MM EPD of -10 lb. (14 minus -10.0 = 24 lb.). This difference in weaning weight is due to total milk production during the entire lactation.

SCROTAL CIRCUMFERENCE (SC) Measured in centimeters and adjusted to 365 days of age, SC EPD is the best estimate of fertility. It is related to the bull’s own semen quantity and quality, and is also associated with age at puberty of sons and daughters. Larger SC EPDs suggest younger age at puberty. Yearling sons of a sire wth a .7 SC EPD should have yearling scrotal circumference measurements that average 0.7 centimeters (cm) larger than progeny by a bull with an EPD of 0.0 cm. In the Hereford genetic analysis, a multiple-trait model was used for scrotal circumference. Weaning weight was used as a predictor variable to increase the prediction accuracy of SC EPDs. Therefore, an animal with a weaning weight EPD should also have a SC EPD. UDDER SUSPENSION (UDDR) Scores range from 9 (very tight) to 1 (very pendulous) and represent assessments of udder support. Weak udder suspension results in pendulous udders that make it difficult for a calf to nurse. Weak suspension in the udder indicates a lack of support in the ligament that ties the udder to the cow’s body wall. Over time, weakness in this ligament will allow the udder to hang down too far from the body and may subject the udder to serious problems and increased potential for injury.

UDDR EPDs are reported on the scoring scale. Differences in sire EPDs predict the difference expected in the sires’ daughters’ udder characteristics when managed in the same environment. For example, if sire A has a UDDR EPD of 0.4, and sire B has a UDDR EPD of -0.1, the difference in the values is 0.5, or one-half of a score.

If daughters of sires A and B are raised and managed in the same environment, you would expect half a score better udder suspension in daughters of sire A, compared to sire B.

TEAT SIZE (TEAT) Scores range from 9 (very small) to 1 (very large, balloon shaped) and are subjective assessments of the teat length and circumference. Oversized teats are difficult for newborn calves to nurse, and the calf may not receive adequate colostrum.

This could lead to a higher incidence of scours or decreased immunity levels in the newborn calf.

TEAT EPDs are reported on the scoring scale. Differences in sire EPDs predict the difference expected in the sires’ daughters’ udder characteristics when managed in the same environment. For example, if sire A has a teat size EPD of 0.4, and sire B has a teat size EPD of -0.1, the difference in the values is 0.5, or one-half of a score.

If daughters of sires A and B are raised and managed in the same environment, you would expect half a score smaller teat size in daughters of sire A, compared to sire B. RIBEYE AREA (REA) REA EPDs reflect differences in an adjusted 365-day ribeye area measurement based on carcass measurements of harvested cattle. Sires with relatively higher REA EPDs are expected to produce better-muscled and higher percentage yielding slaughter progeny than will sires with lower REA EPDs. Ultrasound measurements are also incorporated into this trait and have been shown to be highly correlated with the performance of slaughter progeny. All data is expressed on a carcass scale.

MARBLING (MARB) MARB EPDs reflect differences in an adjusted 365-day marbling score (intramuscular fat, [IMF]) based on carcass measurements of harvested cattle. Breeding cattle with higher MARB EPDs should produce slaughter progeny with a higher degree of IMF and therefore higher quality grades. Ultrasound measurements are also incorporated into this trait and have been shown to be highly correlated with the performance of slaughter progeny. All data is expressed on a carcass scale.

BALDY MATERNAL INDEX (BMI$) The Baldy Maternal Index is a maternally focused index that is based on a production system that uses Hereford x Angus cross cows. Progeny of these cows are directed towards Certified Hereford Beef. This index has significant weight on Sustained Cow Fertility, which predicts fertility and longevity of females. There is a slightly positive weight on Weaning Weight, Mature Cow Weight and Milk which accounts for enough growth but ensures females do not increase inputs. There is some negative emphasis on Dry Matter Intake, but a positive weighting on Carcass Weight which is anticipated to provide profitability from finishing of non-replacement females and castrated males. Marbling and Rib-eye Area are also positively weighted to keep the harvested progeny successful for CHB. This index is geared to identify Hereford bulls that will be profitable when used in a rotational cross with mature commercial Angus cows.

CERTIFIED HEREFORD BEEF INDEX (CHB$) The Certified Hereford Beef Index is a terminal sire index that is built on a production system where Hereford bulls are mated to mature commercial Angus cows and all progeny will be targeted for Certified Hereford Beef after the finishing phase.

This index has significant weight on Carcass Weight to ensure profit on the rail.

As well there is a positive weighting for Average Daily Gain along with a negative weighting on Dry Matter Intake to ensure efficient pounds of growth in the finishing phase. Keep in mind, this production system takes advantage of complimentary breeding with the commercial Angus cow. Although Marbling is weighted positively in this index, a positive weighting for Rib-eye Area and a negative weighting for Back Fat are a greater priority in this index to allow for optimum end-product merit. This is the only index that has no emphasis on fertility. Remember that no replacement heifers are being retained.

AI Sire. We chose to use this bull after seeing some impressive sons sell around the country. He is one of the top “birth to yearling” spread bulls in the breed proven in several prominent herds and the National Reference Sire Program. He also has breed leading carcass numbers to go with the growth. His daughters are impressive as well: we can’t wait to get them into production! Every calf in this calf crop made either the bull or replacement heifer pen! 4 sons sell.
