Welcome

Welcome to the 9th Annual Gibbs Farms Bull and Replacement Female Sale. We at Gibbs Farms cannot begin to express how thankful we are that you chose to spend your valuable time and treasure, shopping with us for your seedstock needs. Relationships developed with our customers is one of our most valued assets, and we look forwarding to cultivating the ones we have, as well as planting the seeds to establish new ones to carry us forward. This year’s sale week and all the events that lead up to and make it up, remain basically the same as they have been from day one. We hope this consistency helps our customers feel comfortable, at home and maybe even a little part of the family. As in the past, there will be two powerhouse bulls on display at the Sunbelt Expo, an open house event on Saturday October 25th, and an open invitation to stop in at any time to take advantage of our hospitality and to check out our year’s work. We have however added one new service this year, a very good video representation of all portions of our sale offering. We hope this gives our customers just one more tool to evaluate, prepare and acquire their breeding needs. That being said, while the sale events remain the same, we honestly feel that this sale offering will be a cut above any other Gibbs Farms crop to date. Please evaluate and give us your opinion. We strive to learn and improve. Please pardon if you notice a bit of a heavy heart at times this year. At the time of this writing, we are 2 days removed from the home going of the Patriarch of this close knit family. Dewey E. Gibbs, otherwise known as Paw, has moved on to Bigger and Better things with “his and our” Savior, Jesus Christ. At the age of 95, he leaves behind 3 children, 7 grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren, 2 great great grandsons, and a bunch of heavy hearts. The last 3 pictured editions, he enjoyed within the last 6 months. We’ll always remember a couple of his last fun remarks, “Give me that boy”, and “How many does that make me now.” Rest assured that the attributes that made him so well liked and successful in life, will continue to be lived and strived for here at Gibbs Farms. Because we were so blessed to have him for so long, we have had a tremendous example, and now a huge obligation to continue his legacy. His strong work ethic, his quiet determination, his huge caring heart, and his willingness to help, will always be remembered and followed in everything we do. We at Gibbs Farms, hope that after evaluating this sale offering and the outlook for our beloved industry, that you become as excited as we are. Please be sure to look us up Sale Day, Open House, or anytime you’d like to visit.

on Friday, November 7, 2014 for a very informative customer educational program

Producer Co-Op Marketing Panel Presentation & Discussion

Last year our customer educational program was focused on the advantages of cross-breeding and improved feeder calf marketing. It was discussed the economic values of cross-breeding and then the tools available for marketing in semi-load lots. That was great for the producer large enough to market calves in semi-loads (48,000 lbs.) but that does not fit the needs of many Gibbs Farms customers. Many of our customers are too small to effectively put together full loads of calves, so load lot marketing cannot be achieved. We also have some customers who have overcome this obstacle by successfully joining and/or establishing co-op groups for marketing their calves. Our educational program this year will consist of a panel of producers who are successfully involved in a coop group or board sale group. They will discuss how their group has successfully established and functioned to add value to their calves, then we will open it up for questions, answers, and general discussion. We will then break for a great down home style cookout with the Gibbs Farms family and further discuss throughout the night. Please join us! 9th Annual Bull & Replacement Female Sale | 1

Sale Terms

Herd Health... Every sale animal and the entire Gibbs Farms breeding herd is properly vaccinated and boostered annually for 7-Way Clostridium, IBR-BVD-BRSVPI3, Hamophilus Somnus, Pasturella, Leptospirosis, and Vibriosis. All heifers are calfhood vaccinated for Brucellosis and every calf born on the farm each year is tested for BVD-PI. All animals on the farm are treated at least twice annually with a parasitic pour-on and at least once annually with Safe-Guard drench. All bulls have successfully passed a complete breeding soundness exam. Guarantee on the Sale Females... Every open heifer selling is guaranteed to be open at the time of the sale and guaranteed to be a satisfactory breeder provided they are managed for proper and acceptable nutritional and physical health. In the event a heifer proves to be a non-breeder, the customer must contact a Gibbs Farms representative on or before May 15, 2015 to make a claim. A veterinarian’s statement will be required and Gibbs Farms reserves the right to have the heifer returned if deemed necessary. The customer will be given a full credit (minus salvage value of the original heifer) to be used in a future Gibbs Farms Sale. Every bred female is guaranteed to be bred on sale day as stated in the sale catalog or as updated from the auctioneer at the time of the sale. In the event any bred female is found to not be bred as sold, the customer needs to contact a Gibbs Farms representative immediately and no later than May 15, 2014. The customer will be given a satisfactory credit on a future Gibbs Farms Sale. Genetic Conditions . . . All bulls selling are free of all genetic conditions monitored for and tested by the American Simmental Association at the time of the sale. All females are also assumed free of all genetic conditions unless otherwise noted in the sale catalog or advised differently at the sale. Gibbs Farms uses the American Simmental Association TraitTrac to monitor genetic conditions and GENESEEK for DNA testing.

VOLUME PURCHASE DELIVERY DISCOUNTS Based on the total purchase of an individual buyer where all animals are delivered to one location. Only animals selling for a minimum of $1,500 each qualify for Volume Purchase Delivery Discounts. On volume purchases of animals selling under $1,500 each we will guarantee delivery as economical as possible. Purchase 2 animals 20% discount on delivery Purchase 3 animals 30% discount on delivery Purchase 4 animals 40% discount on delivery Purchase 5 animals 50% discount on delivery Purchase 6 animals 60% discount on delivery Purchase 7 animals 70% discount on delivery Purchase 8 animals 80% discount on delivery Purchase 9 animals 90% discount on delivery Purchase 10 + animals Complete Free Delivery

Retained Semen Revenue Interest... Gibbs Farms retains a 1/3 semen revenue interest in each bull selling. On every bull, you are purchasing full possession, full salvage value, full decision making, and 2/3 semen revenue interest. The Gibbs Farms retained interest only comes into play if semen is marketed on a bull. Guarantee on the Sale Bulls... Every bull selling is guaranteed to be sound on sale day to the best of our knowledge and has successfully passed a complete breeding soundness exam performed by Dr. Phillip Wilson within 60 days of sale time. Full Purchase Value Extended Warranty on the Sale Bulls... Every bull selling carries a 100% guarantee extended warranty for one breeding season, provided the bull is managed for proper and acceptable nutritional and physical health, not to exceed six months beyond sale day. In the event a customer has any problem with a bull (health, injury, or death) prior to or during the bulls first breeding season, prior to May 15, 2015, the customer should immediately contact a Gibbs Farms representative to report a claim. A veterinarian’s statement of the problem will be required and Gibbs Farms reserves the right to have the bull returned if deemed necessary. A replacement bull of mutually agreed upon quality will be provided if Gibbs Farms has one available with delivery expense to the customer not to exceed the Gibbs Farms Assisted Delivery amounts on regular sale day animals. In the event a satisfactory replacement bull is not available, the customer will be given a full credit (minus salvage value of the original bull) to be used in a future Gibbs Farms Sale. Gibbs Farms will not be held responsible under any circumstances for any settlement amount exceeding the purchase price of the bull.

No one can guarantee every animal will perform perfectly, but at Gibbs Farms we can guarantee we will make things right if they do not!

Pre-Sale Open House Saturday, October 25, 2014 Farm Tours and Sale Cattle Available for Viewing All Day

9th Annual Bull & Replacement Female Sale | 9

Quick Guide to EPDs & 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 the 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 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 percentile-ranking 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: Calving Ease (CE): Percent of unassisted births when used on heifers. Birth Weight (BW): Pounds of birth weight. Weaning Weight (WW): Pounds of weaning weight. Yearling Weight (YW): Pounds of yearling weight. Maternal Calving Ease (MCE): Percent of unassisted births in first-calving daughters. Milk (MM): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk. Maternal Weaning Weight (MWW): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk & growth. Stayability (STAY): Percent of daughters remaining in the cowherd at six years of age. Carcass Weight (CW): Pounds of carcass weight. Yield Grade (YG): Yield grade score. Marbling (Marb): Marbling score. Back Fat (BF or B Fat): Inches of back fat. Ribeye Area (REA): Square inches of ribeye. Warner-Bratzler Shear Force (Shear): Pounds of force required to shear a steak. All-Purpose Index (API): Dollars per cow exposed under an all-purpose-sire scenario. (Continue to read for more details.)

Terminal Index (Ti): Dollars per cow exposed under a terminal-sire scenario. (Continue to read for more details.) $ Indexes: Though EPDs allow for the comparison of genetic levels for many economically important traits, then 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 develop 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 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’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-purpose-type sire, you can quickly figure a bull scoring +100 for API is worth an extra $6000 over a $50 bull if both are exposed to 30 cows over 4 years ($50 diff. x 30 hd. x 4 yr. = $6000.) 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.

Gibbs Farms Bull Development This is our second year developing bulls on the daily fed total mix ration (TMR) and we are so glad we made this management decision. By grinding our own hay and using as the main fiber source of the ration in place of cottonseed hulls, we have drastically cut the cost of the ration and actually made a better ration. The ration looks a little rough in the bunk, but the bulls like it, so that’s all that matters. The main ingredients are the ground ryegrass hay, soyhull pellets, a peanut by-product pellet, and a little extruded cottonseed meal added to balance the protein requirement needs. There are no cereal grains or high starch ingredients used. By eliminating the high starch products, the animals rumen remains in a more basic pH which is where it needs to be for high efficient use of forages. Developing bulls in this manner eliminates the big adjustment back to forage that is experienced by bulls that are developed using high starch cereal grains like corn. Our bulls are developed completely corn-free, not even using a corn by-product. We formulate our ration at an energy level to provide for proper development and not add unwanted fat in the bulls. We do not get caught up in the weight gain race, instead we allow the bulls to develop in a slower, healthier manner. Solid research has proven the detrimental effects of developing breeding bulls too fast on a high energy ration, so why do so many seedstock producers still do it? We cannot answer that question, but advise that you strongly consider how your seedstock supplier develops his bulls. It will greatly affect how well they work for you and for how long. 10 | Gibbs Farms 2014

EPD PERCENTILES - WHERE DOES AN ANIMAL RANK? Knowing where an animal’s EPD ranks within the population of any given genetic evaluation is a far more valuable and accurate prediction of that animals true genetic predicted merit than simply knowing the numeric value of the EPD itself! First and foremost, before you can rank or even compare animals EPDs, you must be comparing apples to apples and that’s why we use the American Simmental Association’s Multi-Breed Genetic Evaluation. It eliminates the guesswork and necessity of conversion tables and formulas when comparing breeds or hybrids. The accuracy of the Multi-Breed evaluation is increased greatly when all of an animals ancestors are registered in the A.S.A. herd book and all of the progeny data from them are processed through the Multi-Breed Genetic Evaluation. This is one of the most significant things that sets Gibbs Farms apart from almost all other SimAngus seedstock operations. All of Gibbs Farms registered Angus cows were registered with the A.S.A. as foundation Angus cows many years ago and all of their progeny data as well as generations of SimAngus progeny data has been processed through the A.S.A. Multi-Breed Genetic Evaluation. Our young herd sires have been progeny tested for many years through the A.S.A. Carcass Merit Program along with large numbers of carcass data from our own steers retained through harvest with all data getting processed through the A.S.A. We have ultrasound scanned our yearling bulls for many years and for the past seven years we have also scanned all of our yearling heifers, totaling over 450 head each year, in addition to carcass data on 50 – 75 steers annually. Data is only as accurate as you make it and at Gibbs Farms we have gone the extra mile for many generations of genetics to insure our customers of accurate and meaningful data. The percentile charts below are from the American Simmental Association Fall 2014 Multi-Breed Genetic Evaluation. Using these charts to plot exactly where an animal ranks within the breed is the most accurate way of determining their true genetic merit and is far more important than the actual numeric value given to the EPD.

S D S GRADUATE 006X

It was a very easy decision to lead off our sale catalog with GRADUATE sons for a second straight year and will even predict that we will most likely do the same next year, maybe even longer. GRADUATE is one of those very rare sires that only comes along occasionally, the kind that will make a huge impact on the industry and continue to grow in popularity for many years to come. He has established a solid reputation as a true calving ease sire that can be used in large scale commercial heifer breeding projects, delivering low birth weights and calving ease comparable to proven calving ease Angus sires, yet offer valuable hybrid vigor that delivers added pounds of calf at weaning time. As he gathers more widespread progeny data, he continues to increase in growth EPD’s as his accuracy increases and still maintains breed leading CE and BW EPD’s ranking him in the elite top 1% of the breed. Even more rare is his ability to add muscle and valuable primal cuts to his offspring as proven by his extreme top 1% of the breed ranking for REA EPD and Tenderness (Shear) EPD. A “slam dunk” calving ease sire, safe for large scale heifer breeding, yielding industry leading ribeye size and tenderness while maintaining breed average performance numbers and that’s not the end of his story. He is also producing huge volume, very attractive daughters that are proving to rank near the top of the breed for milk production and can do it with great keeping ability. Recently we heard a very experienced cattleman from Kansas refer to young GRADUATE daughters in production as the “next best thing since sliced bread.” That pretty much sums him up!

Maternal Sires: PVF-J 4P14 HYB ROOKIE x TJ 57J THE GAMBLER

This lead-off GRADUATE son is exactly the kind of bull we travel thousands of miles annually in search off, the bull that has literally “done it all”. When you read his unique EPD profile and high individual performance ratios in the sale catalog, it is just the beginning of his accomplished story. His young ROOKIE dam has produced two calves with the following average progeny ratios, WW 107, YW 110, IMF 112, & REA 114. His super looking GAMBLER sired grand-dam has racked up similar average progeny ratios on 4 calves as follows, WW 108, YW 109, IMF 105, & REA 107. His great grand-dam was our powerful Angus donor BLACKCAP 877 who traced back to leading donor cows in prominent Angus herds like Locust Level Farms and Lynn Brae Angus in Virginia and Mill Brae Angus in Kansas. For more proof of what this great cow family can produce, look up the lead-off ULTRASOUND daughter selling as Lot 173, last year’s product from the GAMBLER grand-dam. If the buyer of our “Pick of the Herd” this year starts their search with this cow family, they may not need to search any further. This big footed, massive middle bull also has a super disposition, rounding out what is the absolute best that Gibbs Farms has ever produced. We are only retaining our standard 1/3 semen interest in this great young herd sire, but would be thrilled to discuss a shared 50% natural possession ownership with the new buyer. 9th Annual Bull & Replacement Female Sale | 13

Maternal Sires: PVF-J 4P14 HYB ROOKIE x IRONWOOD NEW LEVEL

Bred very similar as Lot 1, this low birth weight and calving ease prospect packs some rather powerful cow families into his pedigree, our MABELLE and GEORGIA cow families as well as the SDSU Queen cow family. The three cow families represented in his pedigree has produced many well know A.I. sires such as GRADUATE, ROOKIE, and BLACK JOKER. Like all the GRADUATE sons, he has a great disposition, is huge middle, heavy muscle, and travels on a very sound, big foot. His BW to YW EPD spread is exceptional and combines with near or above top 10% ranking for almost every EPD and Index.

Here is another bull bred just like Lot 1 and also stacks a tremendous cow pedigree. His young ROOKIE dam has a stout progeny production record and the grand-dam is the donor dam of the Lots 31-35 SHARPER IMAGE sons. There are 11 full sisters from that same flush to SHARPER IMAGE and all are being retained as replacements. Going another generation back is our R820 donor dam that is the dam of the powerful Lots 91-94 ROOKIE sons selling in this year’s sale. You will have a hard time finding a flaw in this huge middle tank.

This GRADUATE son definitely has the look of a heifer bull, a little more refined in his muscle, bone, and joints along with a very smooth shoulder. Tracing back four generations to our donor, DIXIE DELIGHT, his pedigree is stacked with cow producing sires, GRADUATE, DUAL FOCUS, ROOKIE, and EMBLAZON.

S D S IN FORCE 112Y

This is our first calf crop sired by IN FORCE and he has proven himself to be comparable in low birth weight and calving ease to GRADUATE. His progeny will have a little less frame size, massive rib shape, a striking look, and a super disposition, ranking in the top 1% of the breed for CE, BW, and API. He had a very large number of progeny birth records in the last genetic evaluation with very low birth weights and almost no weaning and yearling performance data at this time, so the correlation from his extreme low birth weight data has lowered his WW and YW EPD’s significantly. Once he has weaning and yearling progeny data processed, he may do the same as GRADUATE and come back up in his growth numbers. We like his daughters so well that we retained all of them this year.

This is the first of three IN FORCE sons that have identical pedigrees, all out of two year old full sister UPGRADE sired dams and our well known JAUER 301 Angus donor that is heavily represented throughout this year’s sale catalog due to the large number of daughters she has returned to our herd. All of these IN FORCE sons will make great choices for small producers who want low birth weight and exceptional disposition in their herd sires. These high index value identical pedigree brothers would also work perfectly for a larger producer needing similar pedigree sires to use in multiple sire pasture groups.

Her influence is heavy in our herd and we are looking hard at a couple of her young daughters as embryo donor prospects for this year. This bull is one of the lowest BW EPD bulls in the sale and is the #2 API of all sale bulls. We strongly recommend him for use on heifers in a herd that desires to retain their heifer calves as replacements.

Son of

We only have one PREMIER son in this year’s sale, but don’t think for a minute that it is due to any lack of quality in the PREMIER progeny. After you see Lot 14, you will be confident there is no issue with lack of quality. This is our first calf crop sired by PREMIER and we only used him as a clean-up sire his first year due to using GRADUATE as the primary A.I. sire on almost all our heifers. We had excellent A.I. conception on the group of heifers that PREMIER ran with clean-up and we only got 4 calves sired by him. One was a very late born bull that we thought was too young to consider for the sale and then two extremely nice heifer calves that are being retained as replacements. We have now moved PREMIER into a primary role as a heifer sire and we have enjoyed great semen sales on him this year thanks to his proven low birth weight, high calving ease, and excellent carcass value potential gained through the American Simmental Association Carcass Merit Program. You can rest assured many more PREMIER sons will be coming in future bull sales.

WOW! what a look this young herd sire prospect has. We only take pasture photos of our sale bulls, so we just sort of get what the bulls offer in the pasture and this year we were very short on available time. Our commercial bull customers prefer the pasture photos because they want to see the bulls just like they are, no clipping or fitting, just the bull in his working clothes in a pasture. This PREMIER son has a super special look and the numbers to go with it. His BW to YW EPD spread is very appealing and his economic index values are near the top of our bulls. When you evaluate the kind of performance ratios he achieved with a mid-5 frame score, you know this guy is packed full of muscle and middle. Club calf producers need to take a look at this bull. He has the look and the numbers.

SLUGGER has now become a high accuracy, Rock Solid, low BW and high CE sire for ABS Global. He is one of our primary herd sires for breeding heifers and the herd sire we have selected for use on our bred sale heifers. We consider ease of calving extremely important when selecting the natural service sire for our bred sale heifers because we do not want our customers to experience calving difficulty and SLUGGER assures we can avoid any calving difficulty.

GIBBS 1100Y HY DEACON

DEACON was the high selling bull in our sale two years ago, purchased by Fred Smith Company in North Carolina and Wildberry Farms in Illinois. We were fortunate they chose to collect semen on the bull immediately after our sale and lucky that he successfully froze good semen immediately, so we were able to get a few heifers bred A.I. to him. The bull was leased shortly after our sale to Select Sires and is now considered one of the top SimAngus birth to yearling spread bulls they offer. Be watching for a bright future out of this promising young sire marketed through Select Sires.

Ranking in the top 1% of the breed for YW EPD, this bull looks just like his sire. He was in pretty heavy company in his contemporary group and still racked up large individual ratios for weaning and yearling.

S D S ALUMNI 115X

There is no question that we had a monumental day in South Dakota when we purchased GRADUATE and ALUMNI both in a matter of 30 minutes time at the South Dakota State University Annual Bull Sale and then added even more cream to the pot the next year when we returned and purchased IN FORCE. These three bulls have answered our many years of searching for homozygous black and polled SHEAR FORCE sons. GRADUATE and IN FORCE are going to be big time heifer bulls with added value for maternal and carcass, but ALUMNI is proving to be a little more of a power bull. As his accuracy for growth and carcass increases, he is still climbing the EPD percentile charts for all growth and carcass values, now ranking in the top 1% of the breed for Marbling, Tenderness,and Milk, top 2% for Ribeye, API, and TI, top 25% for Yearling Weight, while maintaining breed average for Birth Weight and top 15% for Calving Ease. Few bulls can do it all and at the moment, ALUMNI appears to be accomplishing the “All Around” honors even better than his great sire. Now that we have ALUMNI daughters in production, we feel confident he has proven himself as one of the all-time greats of the breed and likely to continue gaining popularity for many years to come. We used GRADUATE and ALUMNI heavily last year and plan to repeat that practice again this year, with intentions of filling our pastures with their daughters.

Who thinks this bull closely resembles the Lot 1 GRADUATE son, just maybe with a little more power. Study his pedigree closely and you will find a lot of similarity as the great grand-dam is the same cow, our now deceased BLACKCAP 877 embryo donor. The cow family power behind Lot 19 and Lot 1 is huge, not just in our herd but also in several industry leading performance Angus herds as well. Lot 19 is the overall #1 TI bull in the sale this year and also #3 for API. He is just slightly shy of making it into the top 1% of the breed for YW EPD yet falls below breed average for BW and is in the top 10% of the breed for CE. The overall genetic package of Lot 19 makes him an ideal candidate to follow in his sires hoof prints as truly an ”all-around” sire. If you would like to see some more interesting data, look up the cow production records of his dam and grand-dam on the ASA website. You will see that the BLACKCAP cows in his pedigree have done the same job as the ones in the pedigree of Lot 1. We have also chosen Lots 19 and 20 as our two Sunbelt Ag Expo display bulls for this year.

New this year!

Maternal Sires: S A V FINAL ANSWER 0035 x TJ 57J THE GAMBLER

This bull looks so much like Lot 19, making them the perfect candidates for our Sunbelt Ag Expo display pen, half brothers that look like two peas in a pod. This bull has serious added economic value for performance and carcass values, making him a great choice for producers that retain ownership in their calves all the way through harvest. He is one of only nine bulls in the sale with YW EPD’s above 130, placing them in the ranks of the top 1% of the breed for yearling growth. He also ranks in the top 1% of the breed for REA EPD and as an individual he scanned the largest ribeye of all the bulls in the sale. We understand that this much ribeye size genetics is not needed in all herds, but for a producer who has gotten carcass data back on his calves and identified the need for significant increase in muscle and ribeye size, here’s the bull that can make a huge positive impact in one generation. His cow family has proven to be huge carcass value individuals in our herd and his dam has produced 3 calves with an average REA ratio of 120.

Here is a carcass value giant, huge individual ratios for both marbling and ribeye, ranking him in the top 2% of the breed for both traits as well as high economic index values. He also has a stacked maternal pedigree making him a great choice for improving carcass value in steer calves and also making heifer calves that excel as herd replacements.

This ALUMNI so is bred very similar to Lots 21, 23, and 24, but has more performance power. As an individual he has the #1 adjusted yearling weight in the sale at over 1,400 lbs. A yearling weight of that magnitude in a management program like ours is staggering. Our bulls are not managed in a way to generally see that kind of performance, so this guy has some genetic gas in him for performance.

We selected SHARPER IMAGE two years ago for use in our program due to his powerful performance, high maternal, and the very pleasing look he stamped into his daughters. We used him on a large number of ROOKIE, TOUCHDOWN, MAJOR LEAGUS, and RIGHT TIME 338 daughters, combining growth and high maternal pedigrees from sire and dam. We lead off this sire group with 5 embryo full brothers out of a TOUCHDOWN daughter that is about as perfect for phenotype look as you can get. This flush also produced 11 full sib sisters and all 11 have been retained as replacements. That is statement enough as to what we think of the mating.

The donor dam of Lots 31-35 has stunning eye appeal, almost a dairy type feminine look, huge rib capacity, super structural soundness, and picture perfect udder and teats. She is honestly a cow that you would say has a perfect model look and she can produce as good as she looks with 4 natural calves at 115 average weaning ratio and 113 average yearling ratio. Lot 31 also has her perfect feet and leg soundness and huge rib capacity along with a load of muscle as evidenced by his big individual REA scan. This flush of full brothers, along with the remaining SHARPER IMAGE sons, offer added growth, performance, and maternal along with a very pleasing look. This sire group will have a lot of friends on sale day. All five of the embryo full brothers look so much alike there is no need for additional comments on the others. With this quality and uniformity, there is no wonder why all 11 full sib sisters remained in our replacement pasture.

DIKEMANS SURE BET

SURE BET continues to be one of the overall top carcass bulls in the Simmental breed, ranking in the top 1% of the breed for Marbling, REA, and Tenderness EPD’s as well as API and Docility. He ranks in the top 2% for Yield Grade and TI. He has been a main use sire at Gibbs Farms for many years and we currently have over 50 daughters in production. He has consistently sired the shortest, slickest haired sire groups of all the herd sires we own, making his daughters very adaptable in the southeast. We had a huge run of heifer calves out of him last year and is the reason we are so short on sons offered this year.

This group of STETSON sons is mostly out of our Jauer and OCC pedigree Angus cows and all are just what you would expect from these cows, they are tanks with great eye appeal. The first three are all out of two year old daughters of our JAUER 7020 and each one is massive middle, attractive, with picture perfect udder and teats. The cross with STETSON adds another big shot of maternal and carcass value. These bulls will be perfect to use if you want to produce moderate frame, big middle, easy fleshing, high maternal replacement heifers.

CRIMSON TIDE is a bull that we simply have not used enough. We did not retain any natural breeding possession in him, but have continued to use him A.I. each year and each year we have great success with his sons. We are calving out his oldest daughters this fall and sure like what we see. They are extremely long bodied females, attractive in their appearance, and are showing us that his milk EPD is for real. He is slightly below breed average for BW EPD and in the top 2% of the breed for YW.

As a yearling, ULTRASOUND was our #1 bull for adjusted yearling weight, ultrasound IMF scan, and ribeye area scan. He was one of the most massive middle bulls we had ever raised and extremely sound structured. We now have two years of data from our own herd as well as the ASA Carcass Merit Program and he ranks in the top 1% of the breed for YW and Marb EPD’s as well as TI. He is passing along his massive body and carcass value to his progeny along with one additional trait we were not expecting. He will sire a blaze-face on many of his progeny even though he does not have any white himself. His dam and grand-dam were blaze-face, but the bull himself has no white at all. Our two high selling open fall yearling heifers in last year’s sale were sired by ULTRASOUND and he has a very good chance of repeating that again this year. We strongly recommend his use through A.I. to our customers who desire added performance and carcass value. His sons should provide the same added value.

TNT FINALE W241

Boy, we have had a great ride with this herd sire, but unfortunately this is his last naturally sired calf crop due to losing him a year ago to an injury. For a growth sire, he has also enjoyed good widespread use through semen sales at ALLIED and ORIgen and still has a small amount of semen remaining for sale. He has literally been used from coast to coast, two years ago being the main featured sire group in the Circle Ranch Bull Sale in California and the high selling sire group at Gibbs Farms Bull Sale in Alabama. FINALE sires a load of muscle and performance without adding frame size. He is a breed average BW sire that adds performance numbers and ranks in the top 10% of the breed for Marbling and API. The FINALE son offering this year leads off with two embryo brothers out of an old cow that we flushed simply because we realized she had one of the absolute top production records in our herd and even at an old age was still sound and producing, one of those old cows that was quietly leading the herd almost unnoticed. Next in line are two sons out of full sister daughters of our JAUER 301 donor cow, then followed by a natural calf out of our Angus donor, JOANIE 5073. The FINALE sons are headlined by some rather powerful cow family genetics this year.

This may be one of the largest ribeye/cwt bulls in the sale and that is a genetic measurement that should be emphasized much more. Anyone can make bigger ribeye size cattle by increasing their frame size and yearling weight. It is a proven fact that ribeye size is positively correlated to frame size and yearling growth. The more difficult trait selection is ribeye size per hundred weight (cwt), in other words, a bigger ribeye per 100 lbs. of yearling body weight. A good target is to shoot for 1 sq. in. of ribeye size per 100 lbs. of yearling weight. An excellent achievement is 1.25 sq. in. per 100 lbs. and this bull comes in at 1.35. That is a huge ribeye in relationship to the overall pounds of carcass. Since the primal cuts (mid-loin) are far more valuable than the other parts of the carcass, selection for larger ribeye/cwt of total carcass is huge in profitability.

TNT DUAL FOCUS T249

DUAL FOCUS is still looking great and working hard, but no longer on the farm breeding cows naturally for us. The commercial, export, and even dairy semen sales has soared out the roof on DUAL FOCUS over the past two years. Doug Frank at ABS Global recently sent us a new mature photo of DUAL FOCUS and he is looking the best we have ever seen him. ABS informs us that we likely will never see the bull again back at the farm due to the demands of his semen sales. We hate not having the old boy around during breeding season, but ABS is sure making our banker smile. We have a very large number of DUAL FOCUS daughters currently in production and they have proven to be small frame calf raising machines, many times weaning a bull calf that looks as big as they are. That is the kind of cow we want in our pasture. How many of you would be happy if you had to look over the tops of your steer calves at weaning time in order to find their dam hidden on the other side? Yes, that’s efficient production and we can all use some more of it. We only have 4 DUAL FOCUS sons this year, but the quality is not at all short. You will like what you find in this sire group.

Maternal Sires: G A R PREDESTINED x TJ 57J THE GAMBLER

This DUAL FOCUS son is out of a young cow that resulted from an embryo flush mating between the great Angus sire, PREDESTINED, and the absolute best Purebred Simmental cow that came to Gibbs Farms when we purchased the Optimal Beef Genetics program over 9 years ago. The MABELLE N341 donor cow is still in production in our pastures today. Her longevity, structural soundness, and udder quality is magnificent. Some of the best producing cows in our herd now go back to this great cow and she can be found in the pedigree of many sale animals this year. Even at her old age, she is very likely going to return to embryo production again this fall. In our opinion, this DUAL FOCUS son is the ideal frame size for our environment, a mid-5 frame, he is structurally sound, and has a very powerful look. He is the kind we like.

There is a little more performance power in this DUAL FOCUS son than you normally see and is likely influenced by the JAUER 301 cow family. He is out of a young UPGRADE daughter of the JAUER 301 and yes, you have been seeing a lot of sons in the sale catalog produced by cows with this pedigree. The JAUER 301 cow has blessed us with some rather large litters of calves over the past 5 years. This DUAL FOCUS son ranks in the top 2% of the breed for yearling growth, not typical growth numbers for a DUAL FOCUS.

The photo of this bull absolutely does not represent him well. He is actually on our very short list of favorite bulls & has been so since a calf. He has a great look and is powerful smaller frame tank. His dam is an embryo full sister to the dam of the Lot 90 DUAL FCUS, making them full brothers by blood. The grand-dam, ERICA 4P05, has one of the top progeny production records of all our Angus cows and was featured in our sale two years ago with a huge embryo flush of full brothers to the dams of Lots 89 and 90.

SimAngus Bulls

Sons of

PVF-J 4P14 HYB ROOKIE

ROOKIE was the lead-off sire group and high selling sire group in 5 of our first 6 bull sales. We loaded our pastures with his daughters and thought it was time to move on to new genetics, actually thought our bull customers had gotten saturated with ROOKIE sons, so we stopped using him three years ago. After hearing request for more sons for a couple years, we decided to select a super good cow and flush to ROOKIE. The four sons selling as Lots 91-94 are the result of an embryo flush of ROOKIE to our R820 LADY cow, the dam of PROWLER. For new customers who never saw the ROOKIE sons in previous year, you will see why our commercial bull buyers loved them. They have a little added skeletal size and a lot of added performance. ROOKIE sons can add a lot of value to a calf crop of steer calves and they produce very high maternal daughters, just the kind to make replacement females. From a bull sale standpoint, ROOKIE has been the highest dollar generating sire we have ever used at Gibbs Farms. Enjoy these four full brothers sired by the great ROOKIE.

The best way to describe this bull is simply say . . . “he is the man!” Without added frame size, he is still in the top 5 bulls in the sale for adjusted yearling weight, even from a very low growth numbered, high maternal cow, he still gained his way to the top of the pack. If there is any bull in the sale that has a “presence” about him, it is Lot 91. He walks with the soundness of a cat and with the presence of a king, he is the man of the pasture.

This flush brother is actually the highest performance of the four, but is also a little larger frame. That is neither good nor bad. We view frame size as something that needs targeting to the producers management and environment, very similar to milk production. Some producers need or can use more, but to others, more can be detrimental. It simply depends on what you need or can sustain. This bull looks very much like his Lot 91 full brother, just in a little larger frame package.

Do not discredit this flush brother due to the performance numbers on paper. He had a horrible recipient dam and got off to a much poorer start. Genetically, he may be the sleeper of the flush?

Sons of

CCR DIESEL 3060W

Do you want top of the food chain power, well here it is! Diesel tops the growth charts in the SimAngus and Simmental genetic evaluation. He offers as much performance power as the breed has. There is added birth weight to go along with this powerful performance, but used in the right herds, it can be very highly profitable. We suggest using the DIESEL sons on mature Angus and SimAngus cows or on mature cows that have some Brahman influence in them. It is a known fact that a little Brahman genetics in a cow will jerk birth weight down and many of our commercial bull customers are very aware of it. The DIESEL sons are perfect for using on herds with a little “ear” in them. We have mated DIESEL the past two years to cows with lower birth genetics and this year do not hae the really high BW EPD’s in the bulls that we have had in previous sales. They still need to be used on mature cows only, but are not as large on BW EPD as in the past.

Lot 100

Four years ago, we identified PREMIUM BEEF as a young sire we knew needed to be used in our program, so we purchased some semen & actually used some to flush one cow resulting in the embryos that produced Lots 100-103. Shortly after flushing that one cow, we made the decision that Gateway Simmental was the one place that we could find some outcross genetics and possibly purchased a few herd sires that would greatly complement our program. With that in mind, we did not use any additional semen on PREMIUM BEEF, instead, we started shopping for new herd sires at the Gateway Simmental Bull Sale and over the past three years have purchased three PREMIUM BEEF sons, PREMIER, ROBUST, and WOLFPACK. We finally put the PREMIUM BEEF embryos in two years, but the main influence of PREMIUM BEEF in our herd will be through the sons we have selected over the past three years.

Sunshine Farms’ Cows...

When Tim Minor of Sunshine Farms made the decision to disperse a year ago, we appreciate him allowing us to work with him in a large purchase of the younger females. In March 2013, Gibbs Farms purchased the Sunshine Farms bred heifers, two year old pairs, and three year old pairs, a total of 148 head. The bull calves that were at side of the cows were sold in our bull sale last year. Lots 104 – 120 in this year’s sale are the bull calves that were in the Sunshine females at the time we purchased them, actually making them the last true Sunshine bred genetics from these great young cows. We are excited over the future for these cows in our program and even though their future calves will not be actual Sunshine bred genetics, we intend to make an attempt to breed these cows somewhat outcross the main population of our existing cow herd. Our plans are for the genetics of the Sunshine Farms purchase to build a nucleus of outcross females within our program. Through the guidance of Tommy Brown, the cows have been very effectively selected for slick hair coat, great teat/udder structure, and extreme high marbling. We plan to maintain those values and the only change we will try to make is to place a little more pressure on lower birth weight genetics and slightly less frame size. Our hopes are that the Sunshine Farms genetic pool will continue to thrive within the Gibbs Farms herd and never actually cease to exist.

This PREMIUM BEEF son achieved very impressive individual performance and ultrasound scan ratios helping him climb to the top 3% of the breed for API and top 4% for TI. Based on projected profit index values, he would make an excellent choice for maternal or terminal breeding choices.

This bull is impressive, probably at the top of the list for the bulls out of the Sunshine Farms cows. He is a twin but there is no negative to that unless you possibly want to retain daughters. A twin bull does not produce an increased risk of twins. His daughters may have an increased risk, but the bull himself does not have any effect on twinning in his calf crop.

Lots 109-113 are all sired by a young sire featured in the newly formed Next Step Cattle Co. He has a very impressive overall EPD and index package and the 5 sons we have featured here sure prove that the bull is siring some growth power. Lot 109 is a bigger frame bull that achieved over 1,300 on his adjusted yearling weight and ranks in the top 1% of the breed for YW EPD and top 5% for TI. He would be perfect to use on cows needing some extra skeletal growth and added performance power.

This is one of the bigger frame bulls in the sale and also one of the highest IMF scanning bulls with a 176 IMF scan ratio and since he is a 3/4 Simmental, he could be charted on either the percentage of the purebred percentile charts and either way, he is very high marbling.

Maternal Sires: DIKEMANS SURE BET x V F VENTURE FORWARD

There was a 3/4 blood Simmental CRIMSON TIDE son in our sale last year that created a lot of excitement and ended up selling as the second high seller at $10,000 to Swanson Cattle Company, a well known Gelbvieh and Balancer breeder from Nebraska. This bull has the exact same look, maybe even a little cleaner look and definitely much better numbers on paper. He is literally a massive tank and really has the right “look”. He is big scrotal, big footed, and travels as athletic and smooth as a cat. He is over 100 ratio on every individual measured trait and even though he is relatively small frame, he still ranks in the top 10% of the breed for YW EPD.

Purebred Simmental Bulls

Purebred Simmental full brother sons ofRCR STETSON T17

The next 10 bulls, Lots 130-139 are embryo full brothers sired by the high maternal STETSON and out of our outcross donor, MISS P342, who has proven to be one of the highest maternal and carcass value cows in our herd. She has 7 natural born calves with average progeny ratios as follows, WW 115, YW 107, IMF 123, and REA 110, plus has 32 additional embryo calves registered to her. These bulls are maternal sibs to our high selling bull in last year’s sale, GIBBS 2654Z BULLET PROOF, who sold to Baxley Farms in South Carolina and leased to Genex. We have been so impressed with the P342 daughters in our herd that we decided to make an embryo flush mating to the low birth weight and high maternal STETSON, a flush mating that we knew would be primarily targeted for daughters. We knew the resulting calves would have low performance EPD’s, but we wanted some STETSON daughters out of this great cow. The flush resulted in super results as we got 17 total calves, 11 bull calves and 6 heifer calves. We understand this flush of full brothers is not loaded with performance power, but they are bred for maternal and carcass value. They all rank in the top 1% of the breed for MM EPD and Marb EPD. For REA EPD they range from breed average up to the top 4% of the breed. For both economic index values, API & TI, they range from the top 1% of the breed to no lower than the top 4%. They also rank in the top 15% for BW and top 10% for CE EPD’s. Purebred Simmental breeders looking for a herd sire to use on heifers needs to take a look here. These bulls have far more in their genetic package than calving ease, they offer breed leading maternal and carcass value. These full brothers are so uniform that we will make no attempt to place individual footnotes on them. They are listed as the next 10 lots with no additional footnotes, so happy hunting as you sort through them.

Maternal Sires: LONG`S SHEAR PLEASURE x TJ 57J THE GAMBLER 9th Annual Bull & Replacement Female Sale | 45

Purebred Simmental Bulls

Purebred Simmental sons of

into our Purebred Simmental breeding program and was having a GW-WBF SUBSTANCE 820Y difficult time finding anything that was the quality we desired and actual outcross genetics to the pedigrees we already had. GW COMFORT ZONE 651Y was Both SUBSTANCE and COMFORT ZONE had sold that year in

Two years ago we were searching for new genetics to introduce

the Gateway Simmental bull sale, we liked both bulls, they were pretty much outcross to our Purebred Simmental cow herd, and they sure fit our EPD and index desires. We decided to do a couple embryo flushes to these young sires and breed a select group of our best Simmental cows to them A.I. On our choices for flush cows, the one easy pick was our N341 MABELLE cow. We then turned to our younger cows and chose 9128W MABELLE, a daughter of N341 MABELLE sired by STETSON and the dam of DEACON. Our next choice was another STETSON daughter, 9163W NELLIE. She was actually from a cow family that had highly proven donor cows for three generations deep and is the same cow family that had produced GAMBLER and several other A.I. bulls. We added one last donor into the selection, R860 MABELLE, also a daughter of N341 MABELLE, and another of our well proven older cows.

Lot 145

Lot 142

Lot 144

Lot 146

Lot 143 Lots 142-146 . . . are all embryo flush full brothers sired by GW-WBFSUBSTANCE 820Y and out of the dam of GIBBS 1100Y HY DEACON, the bull that topped out sale two years ago and sold to Fred Smith Company in North Carolina and Wildberry Farms in Illinois, then was leased to Select Sires. The percentile ranking for all carcass EPD’s and both economic index values for each bull in this flush is very high, some reaching into the top 2% - 3% of the breed in multiple traits and indexes. Keep in mind that the DNA HD enhanced EPD’s have the accuracy of 8-15 progeny data, so these bulls have EPD’s with accuracies equal to or above what would generally be produced after one year of progeny data reported on a herd sire.

The lead-off brother from this flush is a really deep bodied, stout bull that recorded the heaviest adjusted yearling weight of the flush and is the brother that had one of the overall best ultrasound carcass scans, but is not the bull that had the most positive move when the DNA HD was enhanced into his EPD’s. That said, he still has a very appealing overall EPD profile with API and TI ranking in the top 10% of the breed.

Of the flush brothers, this is the bull that is easily the most attractive and is extremely sound structured, moving very athletic on a great set of feet and legs. Just from eye appeal alone, he is the bull that is easy to like.

This is the flush brother that we have found to be our overall top pick and is also the one that had the overall strongest positive move when the DNA HD was enhanced into the EPD’s. He has just a tiny bit of throat, but is very clean sheath and extremely sound. He is an absolute massive middle tank and sure has the look and the numbers to work nicely in a Purebred Simmental breeding program. He is the bull from this flush that we would be most interested in sampling and would like to discuss that opportunity with the new buyer, either by us working out some natural service use or by getting the bull to collection immediately in hopes he would freeze good semen in time to get him sampled in this falls breeding season.

When you evaluate this bull, it boils down to whether you believe in the DNA HD enhancement or not. Of the flush brothers, he has the overall lowest individual performance and ultrasound scan ratios. The DNA enhancement agrees with his individual data on the growth EPD’s but actually takes the bull up in his carcass EPD’s. He is the lowest BW EPD bull of the flush and tied for the highest Marb EPD and API. Actually, when you evaluate this whole flush, their genetic differences is like splitting hairs. They are all so close that some added accuracy through additional progeny data could move any of them a very tiny amount and change their overall ranking with each other. That means it is a very genetically uniform flush and any of the brothers have tremendous potential.

Lots 147-149 . . . are embryo flush brothers out of what we thought was the pick of our W-model Purebred Simmental cows, just from visual appraisal alone, in other words the unscientific selection process or as Wade Shafer would say, the “cowboy math” approach to genetic selection. Any way you describe our selection approach, the 9163W NELLIE adds value to the equation with her super nice udder and teats, huge capacity, and structural soundness. She is one heck of a cow with or without EPD’s.

Using the same “cowboy math” selection that was used selecting his dam as a donor and adding into the equation the DNA enhanced EPD’s, this bull rises to the top of the pack any way you go about it. He ranks above or near the top 10% of the breed for CE and BW EPD’s, breed average for growth EPD’s, top 1% for Marb EPD, top 2% for API, and top 10% TI. He has a big, sound foot, huge rib shape, deep flank with great muscle shape deep into the quarter, and just in general, he has a great look. In our opinion, he is one of the best Purebred Simmental bulls we are offering this year 9th Annual Bull & Replacement Female Sale | 47

Compared to his full brother Lot 147, this bull is a tiny bit lower BW EPD, a tiny bit higher YW EPD, and hangs right with Lot 147 on carcass EPD’s and economic index values. On paper after adding the accuracy of the DNA HD enhancement, it is still another case of splitting hairs between these two bulls just from the genetic prediction. Looking strictly at the photos, which we agree all of our photos are less than desirable by most people’s standards, the Lot 147 looks much better than Lot 148. Prior to actually seeing the bulls, you may feel this leads you more towards Lot 147, however, the photos are misleading. Even on visual appraisal, it is still going to be splitting hair differences in these two bulls, so have fun deciding which is best. Adding more data and higher genetic accuracy is suppose to make selection easier, but these bulls are so close, it will come down to personal preference.

Don’t discard this brother just because we talked the other two up so much. Based on enhanced EPD’s with added accuracy, the numbers say this bull may be the heifer bull candidate of the flush and he sure didn’t fall out of bed on carcass EPD’s and economic index values. Based on the data, this bull has tremendous potential and based on his looks, he hangs right in there with his brothers.

This bull comes from a cow family that has proven to be very high carcass value with added growth and his individual measured trait ratios totally agree as he posted outstanding individual performance and carcass scan ratios. The DNA HD enhancement also agrees and says that he is the highest YW EPD of all the SUBSTANCE sons we are offering and says that he is very high carcass value. It sure makes it nice when all the stars line up and agree.

Here’s another SUBSTANCE son that has individual ratios and DNA enhancement all agreeing and has given him high performance and carcass EPD’s, ranking in the top 1% of the breed for Marb EPD and top 3% for TI. If you take the time to go find his massive dam, it will be another big plus for this bull and also has a great progeny production record. She has produced 6 calves to average a 101 ratio at weaning and a whopping 126 ratio for IMF scan. This bull should add considerable marbling genetics to his progeny.

Here’s a bull that needs attention. He has potential as a heifer bull. His DNA enhanced EPD’s point in that direction and the bull looks like a candidate for a heifer bull. He also packed a lot of performance into a smaller frame size and has a great look to him. We recommend giving this bull a serious look if you are in need of a smaller frame, low birth weight herd sire.

One of Gordon’s signatures is to always end a sale catalog or sale offering with one of the best and he did not break tradition with our bull offering this year. This bull could have just as easily have been placed at the front of the sale catalog as Lot 1. His dam is easily one of the best young cows walking our pastures and this bull is just like her. He is massive in his muscle and rib shape, carrying muscle really deep down the quarter, deep flank, and wide base. He travels perfectly and is another one of those bulls that has presence about him, always seems to be standing in a “show-off” way. He excelled in all of his individual performance and ultrasound scan traits and his EPD profile is just as stout as his looks. We would like to note that DNA HD is currently being run on his dam and if it causes any change in his EPD’s we will make those available, good or bad. Yes, he is the last bull in the sale catalog, but very doubtful he will sale near the end of the sale.

9th Annual Bull & Replacement Female Sale | 51

SimAngus Open Fall Yearling Heifers

Females

Replacement Heifer Development . . . we try to keep our heifer development “real world” and similar to how our good commercial customers would develop their own heifers. We understand some people will make the comment “we don’t give our heifers anything but grass”. While we understand maybe that works for some people, we also know that replacement heifers are a valuable commodity and needs to be developed in a way so they will breed at 14 months old, calve at two years of age, and most importantly, breed back as a two year old while raising a good calf. Robbing heifers of proper nutrition does not accomplish a thing, in fact will cost you in the end, however, over-feeding and making yearling heifers fat will also cost you in the end due to fat build-up around the reproductive tract and in the udder. Just a “real world” thought . . . if a heifer weans in April at 550 lbs. and goes through the summer with a 1.0 lb./day gain until a year old in September, she will then weigh 710 lbs. Due to improved fall grass and cooler weather, she will easily gain 1.5 lbs./day for the next 90 days, so now she weighs 845 lbs. at the beginning of breeding season. If she only gains a mere 1.0 lb./day for her 283 days of gestation, that means she will calve as a two year old the following September weighing 1128 lbs. and by the time she is four years old, she will have easily matured into a 1,400 lb. cow. When most commercial producers are ask “how big are your cows”, most of the time they reply “1,000 – 1,200 lbs.”, so where I’m going here is into a two-fold question . . . #1) how many of you actually have 1,000 lb. cows?, and #2) how big do you really want your mature cows?

At Gibbs Farms, our heifers must graze the pastures we have from weaning time in April right on through the summer and those pastures unfortunately contain predominately KY-31 endophyte infected Fescue and if we are lucky will get some volunteer Bermuda grass and crabgrass during the hottest summer months. They have access to our Gibbs Farms custom mineral that contains Rumensin as well as BC Calving & Rebreeding w/ MFP tubs, both products made and distributed by Ridley Block. In addition, several times a week as someone has time, they will get some heifer developer ration that we blend at the farm and consist of ground hay, soyhulls, and a cottonseed/peanut byproduct for protein supplement. Our goal is to have the heifers gain at an average of 1.25 lbs./day from weaning through yearling time.

Performance Data For The Replacement Females . . . the sale catalog has the EPD’s for all the replacement females and those EPD’s were computed after all yearling and ultrasound data was processed on the fall yearling heifers. On the young cows, all of their progeny data is also calculated into their EPD’s. Low accuracy EPD’s on young cattle are definitely subject to change, but still the most accurate overall tool to use when selecting a group of replacement females. The most important thing to understand about EPD’s is they are only as accurate as the data that was supplied to compute them. We pride ourselves at Gibbs Farms in supplying all the data on every calf born and raised on the farm. Every bull and heifer has birth, weaning, yearling, and ultrasound data taken within proper contemporary groups and supplied to the A.S.A. We retain ownership in our steers and supply the carcass data to the A.S.A. We go even further by enrolling our herd sires into the A.S.A. Carcass Merit Program and our low birth weight sires into the A.S.A. Heifer Calving Project. Yes, EPD’s are only as accurate as the data supplied to compute them . . . and at Gibbs Farms, we supply the data!

Daughters of

GIBBS 0689X CRIMSON TIDE

When we collected yearling data in early September, we selected 75 of the open fall yearling heifers for the sale. After getting so many calls from customers requesting a larger number of females this year, we went back to the heifers and selected 22 more for a total of 97 fall yearling heifers that will be offered in the sale. Those 22 added heifers came right out of the group we had selected as replacements and all three of these CRIMSON TIDE daughters are from our replacement group. We understand that cow numbers are extremely low right now and we have a lot of customers needing good females, so we have dug rather deep into our replacement heifers and young cows in an effort to meet the needs of our customers. We are offering 36 more females than last year and while we understand that 36 more females on the market will not fix the cattle industry deficit, it is at least an effort to do our part. That is a 20% increase in replacement females offered and if all seedstock suppliers would increase their female offering this year by 20%, it would make a difference in building our nations cow herd back. This is our second year using CRIMSON TIDE daughters as the lead-off sire group on our fall yearling heifers and there was no way denying these three heifers as being our lead-off for the female sale.

This heifer is massive middle, an honest to goodness sow and she also has a very flashy look to her. She ranks in the top 3% of the breed for YW EPD and had one of the largest REA scans out of all our heifers.

Daughters of

GIBBS 0617XHY ULTRASOUND

Last year our ULTRASOUND daughters topped our sire group sale averages and our two high selling fall yearling heifers were both sired by ULTRASOUND. We have selected 10 of his daughters for this year’s sale and they will definitely impress anyone. They are just as stout and fancy as the data and photos show them to be. They are massive middle, high growth, and loaded with carcass value. Eight of the ten actually rank in the top 1% of the breed for Marb EPD and all of them rank high for growth and economic index values. As a group, these ten heifers averaged a 119 ratio on their IMF ultrasound scans These heifers are loaded with eye appeal and genetic value, if you really want to jump start a new breeding program or add genetic power to an existing one, buy all 10 of these heifers and you will never regret it.

In order to save a huge amount of space, go to the Lot 1 bull and read the footnote. This heifer is out of his grand-dam and is probably the most genetically valuable heifer in the sale. We have already had several customers ask for a short list of the very top heifers in the sale and this heifer sits at the top. If you are a serious SimAngus breeder, then you need to own heifers like this when you can find them for sale. We could write a book on the cow family behind this heifer. 9th Annual Bull & Replacement Female Sale | 53

SimAngus Open Fall Yearling Heifers

Daughters of

DIKEMANS SURE BET

This sire group is where we added some more sale heifers. We had a total of 13 SURE BET daughters this year and had originally selected 6 for the sale. When we decided to increase the number of fall yearling sale heifers, we decided to put all of the SURE BET heifers in the sale except one. We have over 50 in production and felt this was a sire group we could pull from our replacements for this year in an effort to sell more heifers in the sale. There are some heifers in this group hard to part with, but as we look over the pedigrees, we have full sisters already in production and we can make some more of them. SURE BET has done an excellent job producing very slick haired daughters which is highly desired here in the southeast and he is one of the top bulls in the breed for Docility EPD. We will not attempt to write individual footnotes on all of these heifers. The complete data is right there and the cow family names are well known within our program. These SURE BET daughters do not need individual footnote descriptions.

SimAngus Open Fall Yearling Heifers

Daughters of

TJ 181W HY SLUGGER

SLUGGER has become a leading calving ease sire for ABS Global and a mainstay as a heifer clean-up sire for us at Gibbs Farms. We use him to clean-up our bred sale heifers because we know we can trust him as a safe calving ease sire. He ranks in the top 1% of the breed for BW and Tenderness EPD’s, top 2% for MCE and API, top 3% for CE, and top 5% for MM, so there is no wonder why he has become so popular. We now have SLUGGER daughters in production for the second year and his milk EPD is for real, they are heavy milk producers and so far prove to have super nice udder and teat quality.

The lead-off SLUGGER daughter is another of the heifers that was removed from our replacement group and added to the sale. She is a powerful female just like her grand-dam, JAUER 301. She ranks in the top 4% of the breed for YW EPD and still maintains a 0.0 BW EPD, that’s quite a spread.

We chose to use SHARPER IMAGE two years ago because of his performance power and the great look he was stamping into his daughters. We had one very successful large flush out of him, so was able to put most of the non-ET daughters in the sale. The 7 heifers selling have an average YW EPD of 120, ranking in the top 5% of the breed as a group. Now that’s performance power. They are big middle and very fancy. We are confident you will like them.

This heifer represents to look of the SHARPER IMAGE heifers very well. They are thick, big middle, fancy looking females. The YW EPD of this heifer ranks way off the upper 1% end of the percentile chart. There are 5 of these heifers out of ROOKIE daughters which added even more performance power and a big shot of milk.

SimAngus seedstock breeders need to take a serious look at the first three FINALE daughters. Two of them are out LUCKY MAN full sister dams that are out of our JAUER 301 donor. These two heifers are really nice and the quality that deserves going into a registered breeding program. The third heifer is Lot 207 and she is out of the same cow family that produced the Lot 1 bull and Lot 173 heifer. Not trying to take away from several other really good heifers in this sire group, but these three heifers deserve special attention.

Daughters of

CCR DIESEL 3060W As the leading performance SimAngus sire in the breed, DIESEL brings a load of performance power to the genetics table. The 11 daughters selling average 130 for YW EPD, just 1 lb. shy of the top 1% of the breed and that’s for the average of the whole group. His daughters have outstanding eye appeal and are now proving to be great producing cows. We feel very confident his maternal numbers will increase as he gets daughter data turned in. There are a lot of very desirable low birth weight sires available to use on growth females like the DIESEL daughters, but it is hard to find females with growth performance like this in such a nice looking package.

Daugthers of

Sunshine Farms’ Cows...

There are 21 heifers selling as Lots 229 – 249, plus two additional heifers listed with the Purebred Simmentals, that are all direct daughters out of the large group of females we purchased in the Sunshine Farms private treaty dispersal. We purchased all of their bred heifers, two year old pairs, and three year old pairs, totaling 148 head. The 23 heifers that we are selling this year would be the calves that were in the cows when we purchased them. Now that we are into our second year of ownership in these cows, we feel very confident they will make a very positive impact on our overall breeding program. We are very pleased with the slick hair, great udder quality, and carcass value bred into these cows. We know there are many former customers of the Sunshine Farms breeding program out there and we are happy to once again start sharing some of those genetics with our customers. We are not going to attempt individual footnotes on all these heifers because all the data is calculated into their EPD’s and Index Values. You will notice that some of the highest Index Values and Marb EPD’s in the sale are present in these heifers and many of these heifers will rank in the top of the sale on physical appearance as well.

Here is another embryo product of the great MABELLE cow family and also a grand-daughter of N341 MABELLE. This heifer is really stout and ranks in the top 10% of the breed for YW EPD and top 3% for REA EPD. Her overall genetic package makes her easy to work with a lot of different sire mating’s for PB SM or mated to Angus for SimAngus.

This white-faced heifer has just a little white on her rear feet, but boy is she nice. She is out of a first calf heifer sired by Shear Pleasure that is out of one of our favorite PB SM cows on the farm, R525. This heifer ranks in the top 5% of the breed for MM and top 25% for REA EPD’s along with a top 5% ranking for API. Her low birth and high carcass genetics along with her white face makes her a very interesting genetic package, one that has many mating options.

One more Simmental heifer out of the MABELLE cow family and this one is actually out of N341 MABELLE herself. This heifer is small and appears to be a little behind the other heifers, but it’s not her fault. She had a horrible recipient dam and she had to learn to feed herself early in life. Poor environment does not affect genetics.

Typical of STETSON daughters, this heifer is not overpowering in stature, but STETSON daughters have proven to be powerful producing cows. She ranks in the top 1% of the breed for MM EPD and that is no over evaluation of how good STETSON daughters milk.

The last PB SM heifer offers something a little different on pedigree. 9th Annual Bull & Replacement Female Sale | 65

SimAngus Bred Heifers

Bred Females

The bred females we are offering this year is mostly bred heifers, but we did select a few really good young cows in an effort to increase our numbers. Our plans had been to offer 65 bred heifers and a few young cows, but just like with the open fall yearling heifers, we went back into the pastures and selected some more due to such tremendous request for females this year. From a genetic prediction standpoint, the 78 bred females offered this year is by far the strongest we have ever offered and to justify that statement, here are some facts . . . • the average API for the 78 bred females offered is 128, ranking in the top 35% of the breed. • the average TI for the 78 bred females offered is 72, ranking in the top 30% of the breed. • the average YW EPD for the 78 bred females is 100, ranking in the top 30% of the breed. • the average REA EPD for the 78 bred females is 0.69, ranking in the top 30% of the breed. • the average Marb EPD for the 78 bred females is 0.40, ranking in the top 35% of the breed.

So in summary, if you were to purchase the entire 78 head of bred females offered, you would have a new herd that ranked in the top 1/3 of the breed for the most important economic traits. Go one step further and look at the EPD’s and Indexes of the sires these females are bred to and the prediction of the EPD’s and Indexes for the calves to be born. Your entire calf crop will average roughly in the top 15% of the breed for these most important economic traits. Now that’s impressive! As usual, our bred females graze predominately KY-31 Fescue and we hope to get a little volunteer summer grass like common Bermuda and crabgrass. They all get a very good free choice mineral and have been supplemented the BC Calving and Rebreeding tub made by Ridley block. This block provides additional mineral and some natural fat and protein. It is an all-natural protein tub and is the hard type tub that only allows about 0.5 – 1.0 lb. consumption daily. We do not manage our heifers to be fat, but we do provide a very good mineral package and we have an excellent vaccination program. Our sale females have been managed exactly the same as our cow herd. The heifers were bred A.I. to calving ease sires and then ran clean-up with the high accuracy calving ease ABS sire, TJ 181W HY SLUGGER. The young cows were A.I. bred to various sires based on which sire we felt was best suited for the female and they ran clean-up with GIBBS 0617XHY ULTRASOUND, out proven high performance and high carcass value sire.

Jauer Doctor 7020 35 Jauer Echoleon 0327 301

The first 8 bred females (Lots 267-274) are all either direct daughters or grand-daughters of our two JAUER ANGUS donors pictured above. These two cows are no stranger to any of our past customers because both have had large embryo flushes of sons selling through our bull sales for the past 5 years. Almost all of those embryo female mates have been retained in our herd and have continued to build the genetic influence of these two cows within our program. The huge positive influence these two cows have made in our herd can be witnessed first-hand by evaluating the quantity and quality of the animals in this year’s sale tracing back to them.

Lots 287 – 290 . . . the following 4 bred heifers carry the Gibbs Farms brand on their right shoulder, but these four heifers are deep with Sunshine Farms genetics. They are A.I. sired by non-Sunshine bulls but they were at side of two year old dams purchased in the Sunshine Farms liquidation last year. As a group they average in the top 1% of the breed for API and Marb EPD, top 3% for TI, top 15% for BW, and still maintain a breed average YW EPD. Calculate the projected calf EPD’s and Index Values mated to IN FORCE, NIGHTRIDE, and SLUGGER. How hard will it be to market calves with numbers like that?

Breeding Info: Bred 3/3/14 to S D S IN FORCE 112Y, then pasture exposed 3/13/14 through 6/1/14 to TJ 181W HY SLUGGER.

This bred heifer is an embryo flush full sister to the 3 heifers that was our lead-off open yearling heifers in last year’s sale catalog. She ranks in the top 3% of the breed for YW EPD, top 5% for MM EPD, top 10% Marb EPD, and easily in the top 1% for cow potential. She is truly a tank yet still very attractive. Her highly productive donor dam has produced 8 natural calves with average progeny ratios of WW 108, YW 106, IMF 102, and REA 102. This heifer has real cow potential.

We don’t know what the value of this heifer is yet, but we know she is out of a $14,000 dam. Yes, her dam was the selection by Cow Camp Ranch from last year’s “Pick of the Herd” and she now resides as a donor in central Kansas. This should be a true testimonial of how hard we tried to offer some of our best young females in this year’s sale, here’s the daughter of the pick of our herd. ENOUGH SAID!!!

Breeding Info: Pasture exposed 4/18/14 through 6/15/14 to GIBBS 0617XHY ULTRASOUND.

Lots 329 – 334 . . . the following six bred ¾ Blood Simmental heifers are straight Sunshine Farms genetics and all would have been heifer calves at side of three year old cows when we purchased them last year along with 148 head in the Sunshine Farms private treaty liquidation. This is a really nice group of heifers, several of which would be in our replacement pasture of two year old pairs right now but they were a little too young for us to have bred them for September calving. That’s also the reason several of the young Sunshine cows are offered in our sale this year. We purchased entire age groups of females and a few were calving too late for us to make them work with our September calving season, so they were bred for December/January calving to work in our sale this year.

This 3/4 Blood Simmental heifer is sired by LEWISTOWN, the high carcass EPD UPGRADE son purchased a couple years ago in our sale by Gateway Simmental from Montana. They did not want LEWISTOWN delivered until spring, so we hand bred him to a few cows, one being our Simmental donor, R525. Many very knowledgeable cattlemen have repeatedly pointed to R525 in our pasture of mature Simmental cows and stated that’s what Simmental cows need to look like. She really does look more like a 3/4 Blood SimAngus than a PB Simmental. This heifer is just another example of the quality females offered in this year’s sale, representing numerous donor dams and the best cow families we own. 76 | Gibbs Farms 2014

Everyone should have seen the photo of this heifer by now because she has sort of been the poster girl for all our ads and brochures circulated this fall. It is obvious why she earned the right to be our poster girl for this year’s sale. In our opinion, this heifer sort of doubles the “Pick of the Herd” offering this year because she is of the quality to have been in the short list for the cow herd pick. She is an embryo product of our donor, R860 MABELLE which in turn is a direct daughter of N341 MABELLE. This cow family has produced multiple A.I. sires including BLACK JOKER and was the most prominent cow family in the Optimal Beef Genetics & Bell Farms herd when we purchased the cow herd in 2005. Since 2005, through progeny production proof, the N341 MABELLE has proven to be the overall best of the older Purebred Simmental cows that came to us from Optimal Beef Genetics. We have had numerous customers ask us to sell a few of the truly donor quality young cows that trace back to the MABELLE cow family and this young bred heifer qualifies. She is as good as any bred heifer we have walking the pastures at Gibbs Farms, so if you really want one of our best bad enough then you had better get your hand in the air, there will never be very many offered like her.

This bred Purebred Simmental heifer represents the other well known cow family name from the old Optimal Beef Genetics herd and also Triangle J Ranch form Nebraska. The NELLIE cow family has produced multiple A.I. sires including the big time carcass and maternal sire GAMBLER. This CRIMSON TIDE daughter is the natural calf out of our donor N312 NELLIE from two years ago. N312 NELLIE is also the dam of a young donor, 9163W NELLIE, who has three sons featured in this year’s sale as Lots 147-149. This young CRIMSON TIDE daughter is royally bred, has the numbers to back it up, and has the look to be a future donor just like her dam and maternal sister.

She would also be a maternal sister to the Lots 142-146 bulls selling in this year’s sale. All of her carcass EPD’s and Index Values rank above the top 15% of the breed, lead by a Marb EPD in the top 4%. This is another young Purebred Simmental female that has a high probability of earning her way into an embryo donor status someday. All the pieces of the puzzle are there, she just needs time to prove herself. 9th Annual Bull & Replacement Female Sale | 77

Cow Calf Pairs

with Fall Calves

344

GIBBS 1012Y SM LSP 7241T Sire: LONG`S SHEAR PLEASURE

We have been getting ask the same question a lot about the pairs we are offering in the sale this year, so here’s the answer, “NO, they are not similar to the pairs we offered last year. We offered 40 fall calf pairs last year, made up mostly of cows that were calving late in our calving season, all were good, sound cows, but not necessarily cows that were in the very top of our herd. Totally different this year, as we are only offering 12 fall calf pairs and they have been hand-picked with high quality in mind, not high quality commercial cows, but high quality registered cows that will work in the top of any seedstock breeders herd.” Several of these cows have potential as embryo donor quality and a couple are of that high quality right now. These are breeder quality cows. All four of the Purebred Simmental cows are direct daughters of top donor cows and three of the registered Angus cows are actually full sister embryo daughters out of our JAUER 7020 donor. Make no mistake, we had no intention of the pairs in this year’s sale to be high quality commercial females, we purposely selected breeder quality females.

We may regret selling these two full sisters, Lots 344 and 345, after seeing how stout these two bull calves are looking. Both cows have white-face or blaze-face bull calves sired by STETSON. The only real correction these two cows need is to slightly lower their BW EPD and add a little to their Marb EPD, exactly what STETSON is going to do. The EPD profile of these two bull calves will read super good. The dam of these two cows has 5 natural progeny records that have average ratios of 111 for WW and 107 for YW, plus 11 ET calves. 78 | Gibbs Farms 2014

This young cow is actually a natural born calf out of the R860 MABELLE donor. Through her production, she has boosted her MM EPD to the top 5% of the breed. Her progeny ratios are 113 for WW and 116 for YW, so you don’t have to worry about how well she can raise a calf. The ALUMNI sired calf will be registered as a 3/4 Blood Simmental and there has been a huge surge in interest on top quality 3/4 Blood Simmental bulls because they can be used effectively in Purebred Simmental breeding programs. This cow sure has the potential to raise a great one.

This stout young cow is another natural born calf out of a proven embryo donor, N312 NELLIE, the same donor that produced the donor dam of the bulls selling as Lots 147-149 in this year’s sale. All of these cow families can get confusing, but it is very good knowledge to see the tremendous production in these cow families and have the comfort they truly are the “top of the herd” kind. This cow has a whopping progeny production record as follows, BW 102, WW 103, YW 109, IMF 118, and REA 104. That is solid testament as to her producing ability as a mama.

Angus Cow/Calf Pairs with Fall Calves

Registered Angus Cows . . .

All four of the young Angus cows selling absolutely have embryo donor potential and could be from multiple directions. They would work in an Angus breeding program to produce the much needed massive middle and muscle needed in today’s refined Angus industry, they are working just fine for us producing great SimAngus calves, or they could be mated to club calf bulls and offer the muscle, power, and looks required to be a successful club calf mama. These cows have versatile abilities and whichever way you choose to go with them, they will excel. Each is registered with the American Angus Association and they will have registration certificates transferred to the new owner from both AAA and ASA. All of their progeny data has been turned in to the ASA because we feel the ASA Multi-Breed Genetic Evaluation is far superior and more valuable to the commercial cattle industry than a single breed evaluation. The box below displays the current AAA EPD’s on these cows and all the data in their individual lot box is from the ASA.

This is the first of three full sisters sired by MISSING LINK and out of JAUER 7020. We actually made this flush mating three times and have a lot more full sibs still in the pasture working. The production record on this sister is really strong on carcass with 4 progeny average records as follows, WW 99, YW 103, IMF 106, and REA 106. She will be due with a late winter calf.

Calf at Side Info: Heifer calf 4273B born 9/16/2014 at 76 lbs sired by RCR STETSON T17.

This young Angus cow is massive and very attractive, the kind that really stands out and gets noticed in the pasture. There are few places left to go find Angus cows of this kind today. Her STETSON sired SimAngus heifer calf will grow into great cow material. We know that for sure because we have plenty experience with this exact pedigree cross. 9th Annual Bull & Replacement Female Sale | 81

There are only two reasons why a cow of this quality is in the sale . . .#1) we have several more full sisters in the pasture just like her and #2) we were committed to making this year’s female offering something for the industry to remember. We are going all out to showcase a female sale offering that will significantly help the serious cattle breeders, not just cows to build back numbers, but cows that can offer great genetic advancement to our customer’s herds. The Lot 355 cow could start the sale catalog in any Angus female sale in the country and that’s not just a promotional statement, this cow has power and quality. In our opinion, this is what an Angus cow is supposed to look like, but we challenge you to see how many you can find for sale like her. Her SimAngus heifer calf sired by STETSON will be no different. She already has a special look at only a few weeks old. This pair of females is a serious genetic package.

Calf at Side Info: Due to calve prior to sale time to S D S ALUMNI 115X.

We will end the sale offering with another massive specimen of an Angus cow, the kind that is hard to find for sale anywhere. She is from a different cow family than 7020 or 301, but she is still straight Jauer breeding on the cow side. Her progeny record is just as stout as she looks, producing 3 calves with the following average ratios, BW 101, WW 104, YW 104, IMF 108, and REA 100. We are fully aware that Gibbs Farms is not known as an “Angus breeder”, but we have had a few Angus breeders and Regional Managers come by for a visit and leave totally shocked at the Angus cows roaming our pastures. Many years ago when we initially began our SimAngus program, our belief was the only way to breed great SimAngus was to begin with great Simmental and great Angus. We saw so many other breeders begin producing SimAngus from their bottom Angus or Simmental cows. We chose to start with the absolute best cows we could find of both breeds, utilize extensive embryo transplant, and make mating’s to the highest economic value bulls in the industry, never chasing the popular fads. 82 | Gibbs Farms 2014

Pick of the Herd

Sale Feature 357

Pick of the Gibbs Farms cow herd

Just in case you did not find the cow you wanted in our sale offering, we are going one step further in our quest to offer our best. For the second straight year we will offer the choice pick of any cow we own, every cow is eligible. Terms: The successful buyer will have the opportunity to select one cow (and most likely with calf at side that comes with the selection) from the herd. All cows are available from two year old first calf heifers, right up to the oldest, most proven cow in the herd, even current embryo donor cows included. The buyer will be responsible for payment at sale time and payment includes free delivery of this Special Sale Feature. The buyer will have until December 31, 2014 to make their selection, but keep in mind that Gibbs Farms will continue all normal reproductive management right up until the time the buyer makes the decision. We will start breeding on our cow herd the last week of November, and our donor cows will begin their ET shot protocol the week after our sale with breeding dates of November 24 and 25. In the event the buyer choses a cow we have selected for embryo flushing this fall and makes the selection by November 15, we can terminate her for our embryo flush or we can continue and flush the cow for the new buyer. In the event the buyer choses a donor later than November 15, we will flush the cow for ourselves and deliver her to the new buyer promptly after the embryo flush on December 1 and 2. We will assist interested buyers by providing a complete inventory list of cows in an Excel file that contains their pedigree and current EPD’s. We will make every possible effort to assist in making your choice a successful one.

Buyer’s choice, pick of any cow in the herd. Over 600 cows enrolled in THE for this fall.
