Welcome to the 41st Annual ARDEC Bull Sale!

Dr. Jason Ahola Seedstock Team Advisor jason.ahola@colostate.edu (970) 491-3312 (office)

Dr. David Schafer ARDEC Livestock Manager david.schafer@colostate.edu (970) 491-2815 (office)

Dr. Kevin Pond Head of Dept. of Animal Sciences kpond@colostate.edu (970) 491-1442 (office)

David Escobar Feedyard Manager david.escobar@colostate.edu

Christina Nash Research Manager christina.nash@colostate.edu

The CSU Seedstock Merchandising Team is pleased to offer you the best bulls from the 2016-born calf crop produced by the registered Hereford and Angus seedstock cowherd at CSU’s Agricultural Research, Development and Education Center (ARDEC) in Fort Collins, Colo. This includes bulls from the pens of Hereford and Angus bulls we took to the National Western Stock Show. We also have a great set of open commercial yearling heifers to add to your herd.

We are excited to welcome Dr. David Schafer as the new ARDEC Livestock Manager. David is a two-time graduate of CSU (M.S. Animal Breeding, 1987; Ph.D. Animal Breeding, 1991), and has been overseeing ARDEC activities since January. He has been a great resource for the Seedstock Team, and is very supportive of seedstock, teaching, and research activities at ARDEC. David has significant experience in managing university ranching and seedstock operations, including at the former CSU San Juan Basin Research Center (Hesperus, Colo.) and the University of Arizona’s V Bar V Ranch (Rimrock, Ariz.), and is familiar with the CSU bulls and heifers selling this year – don’t hesitate to contact him with questions.

In keeping with our new sale schedule, we will be holding the actual “sale” of cattle at 11 a.m. (identification of high bidders and sale prices) followed by a complimentary lunch at 12:30 p.m. This format provides more opportunities for our students to interact with prospective buyers on the morning of the sale. And we will continue to use our private treaty sale method with limited bid-off (see below for details). We look forward to seeing you on sale day and discussing how CSU’s program can help yours. Don’t hesitate to contact us.

Many thanks to the crew at ARDEC for their help with cattle preparation and sale-day needs. In addition to David Schafer, livestock manager, a number of undergraduate student employees care for the cattle at ARDEC, and two permanent full-time employees continue to help support ARDEC’s mission, including David Escobar, feedyard manager, and Christina Nash, research and Feed Intake Unit (FIU) manager.

Finally, a big thank-you to faculty in the Department of Animal Sciences, including Dr. Pond, department head, for support of seedstockrelated activities at ARDEC. Our department continues to see unprecedented growth in undergraduate numbers, making us the fifth-largest department on campus. We will be breaking ground on the new “Global Food Innovation Center” on Monday, March 27. This facility will extend off the south side of the current Animal Sciences building and add 37,000 square feet, including a USDA-inspected harvest and processing facility, in-house café/retail store, 200-seat demonstration classroom, research kitchen, product coolers, laboratories, and more.

How Sale Day Works

Private Treaty Sale Method – Again this year, we will be offering our bulls and heifers for sale via private treaty for a number of reasons: It enables our students to have more time to interact with bull customers, it gives customers more time to make purchasing decisions, and it fosters an environment that is low-stress on both people and cattle. On sale day, we will be offering the first pick of our bulls – no cattle have been offered in advance or held back.

Base Prices with Bid-Off – All bulls will be pre-priced with a “base price” ranging from $2,500 to $4,500. Heifers will be pre-priced with a base price within each breed, depending on whether the buyer wants “choice” of the pen or wants to purchase the entire pen (see the next page for more information). A listing of all sale prices is included separately with this catalog and will be available on sale day. No bulls or heifers will be sold on sale day below these minimum prices. Beginning at 11 a.m., buyers and selling prices will be determined for each bull and heifer in the respective sale order (i.e., in lot or catalog order). At that time, if only one person indicates an interest in an animal at that animal’s base price (by raising their hand to indicate so), then that person will be identified as the buyer by the sale coordinator. If more than one person is interested in an animal, a slow-speed bid-off will be conducted by the sale coordinator using $100 to $250 increments to determine the high bidder and official selling price. No actual auctioneer or ring men will be present.

Sale Order – Cattle will be sold in catalog order beginning with Angus bulls, followed by

Hereford bulls, and then commercial heifers. Beginning at 11 a.m., the sale coordinator will go through the sale order only once using the method described previously. Any bulls not sold on sale day will be available beginning March 26, 2017, on a first-come, first-served basis, until all are sold by the end of the bull-selling season.

No On-line Broadcast – In an effort to reduce costs, this year’s sale will not be broadcast via the internet or satellite video. If you seek assistance in purchasing a bull, but are unable to attend, please contact Jason Ahola, David Schafer, or Kevin Pond (contact info above).

CSU Commercial Heifer Offering

We are offering 23 high-quality commercial yearling open heifers via private treaty on sale day. These heifers will be ready to breed this spring, and will be a great addition to any commercial cowherd. Heifers are selling as unregistered.

Heifers will be offered in 3 “pens”: Angus pen (10 head), Hereford pen (6 head), and Black Baldy pen (7 head). A listing of base prices for these heifers, by pen, is included with this catalog and will be available on sale day.

Base prices will be in $/head and based at two levels: 1) “choice” from within a pen – when a buyer wants to select one or a few specific heifer(s) at the “choice” base price, or 2) purchase the “entire pen” of heifers at the “entire pen” base price. Once half of the heifers in a pen sell via the “choice” option, and there is still interest in specific heifers among buyers, additional choices from that pen will be allowed, beginning at the "entire pen" base price. When there is no further interest in choosing specific heifers, all of the remaining heifers in the pen will be offered for sale as a group beginning at the "entire pen" base price.

Seedstock Merchandising Team Greetings from the team, The 2016-2017 Colorado State University Seedstock Team would like to say thank you for your support and interest in the 41st Annual Bull Sale. In the fall, the team dove in with selection of bulls, training and preparation for the National Western Stock Show. The team also attended the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association Mid-Winter Meeting in Denver and the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Convention and Trade Show in Nashville.

Each of these experiences was unforgettable, and we are thankful for everyone who made them possible. Upon returning from Nashville, the team began picturing and preparing the remaining bulls for the sale. We would like to thank previous team members, CSU employees and others who helped make this year possible. We could not have done it without all the help and generous support from others. Follow the team on Instagram and Facebook to see information, pictures and future team accomplishments. We hope you enjoy the sale and find exactly what you are looking for. Thank you again!

Sincerely, The 2016-2017 Seedstock Merchandising Team

Department of Animal Sciences Preparing for your future in the livestock industry

Animal Sciences Mission Statement:

A source from which visionaries and the most innovative approaches in animal husbandry technologies originate.

CSU Livestock Judging Team Colorado State University’s Livestock Judging program dates back to 1914, when the first team competed at the National Western Stock Show. Students have the opportunity to represent CSU at the most prestigious contests in the nation and travel to nationally recognized livestock shows. More importantly, team members have gone on to serve as leaders in the livestock industry. Many alumni attribute their successes after graduating from CSU to values gained through participation on a judging team.

Contact: Clay Carlson • 970-491-5395 • clay.carlson@rams.colostate.edu 2016 CSU Livestock Judging Team

CSU Meat Judging Team The Meat Judging Program at CSU is well known worldwide in the meat science discipline, as well as for winning national championships in meat judging and other intercollegiate meat judging competitions. Meat judging involves the critical evaluation of carcasses and various other products from market beef, swine and lambs in order to determine their value and to rank them accordingly.

Contact: Dr. Dale Woerner • 970-491-7615 • dale.woerner@colostate.edu

2017 CSU Meat Judging Team

CSU Collegiate Livestock Club The CSU Collegiate Livestock Club is an organization of young men and women who share an interest in promoting and learning about the livestock industry. The Club was formerly the Collegaite Stockgrowers Club (started in 2014) which evolved from a merger of the CSU Collegiate Cattlewomen and CSU Collegiate Cattlemen organizations. Collegiate Livestock Club members work with the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association (CCA), Colorado Cattlewomen’s Association (CCW), and Colorado Livestock Association (CLA) to promote agriculture, and encourage the personal and professional development of members in order to form the next generation of leaders in the livestock industry. This includes educating the public about the livestock industry through various means, including partnering with the Colorado Beef Council during the National Western Stock Show in January to interact with the public about the value and importance of beef in Colorado. In addition, Club members assist in educating and exposing hundreds of local elementary students to the livestock industry by participating in Ag Adventure at the CSU ARDEC facility each fall. The Collegiate Livestock Club maintains active involvement in state and national livestock organizations by attending the CCA Mid-Winter Meeting in January, the CCA and CLA Annual Conventions during summer, and the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Convention and Trade Show each winter.

CSU Seedstock Merchandising Team Since 2003, the Seedstock Team has overseen the annual marketing of bulls and heifers produced from the CSU ARDEC Angus and Hereford cowherd in Fort Collins on the fourth Saturday in March. This select group of eight undergraduate students is the result of a formal application and interview process held during the fall. Once selected, team members oversee all preparations for the annual spring production sale, including animal selection, performance data collection, advertising, promotion, and animal preparation. In addition, students show pens of cattle at the National Western Stock Show and represent CSU at events including the Range Cow Beef Symposium, Colorado Cattlemen’s Association MidWinter Meeting, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Annual Convention, and Beef Day at the Colorado Farm Show. This combination of experiences provides students with a real-world, hands-on learning environment and an opportunity to network within the beef cattle industry.

Upcoming Changes to ARDEC –

Calving Season, Irrigated Grazing, Sale Date, and Older Bulls The ARDEC cowherd consists of 150 to 175 Hereford and Angus females. In addition to producing the bulls and heifers for the annual sale, they have been used for teaching, research, and outreach activities at CSU for more than 100 years. In recent years, the cowherd has experienced challenges that have limited these activities and affected overall production.

As a result, beginning in 2017, several significant and positive changes will be occurring with the cowherd. These include: 1) Moving to spring (April-May) vs. winter (Jan-Feb) calving.

2) Grazing irrigated pasture under a center pivot at ARDEC (212-acre pivot east of feedyard) seeded into perennial grasses/legumes and grazed following a Management-intensive Grazing (MiG) concept.

3) Selling older bulls (20-22 mo. vs. 13-14 mo.) after developing them on summer grass.

4) Selling bulls beginning in January or February of each year.

Our intent is to better match our cows’ annual production cycle with environmental conditions (a concept we teach at CSU). We will also be able to provide more opportunities for students to learn via hands-on and experiential activities, and increase grazing-related research, teaching, and outreach activities. We can impose greater selection pressure on the herd and improve the marketability of our bulls. Most notably, we hope to improve calf survivability and reduce production costs (i.e., wintertime feeding).

As a result of these changes, several things will likely affect you as a bull buyer, such as: • Access to older bulls – These 20-22-month-old bulls will still be virgins and tested for gain, feed efficiency, fertility, PAP, genomics, and known genetic defects.

• Annual sale in late January or February – Our next sale will be held in late January or February 2019, when we will offer our 2017-born bull crop for sale. We will notify you of the official date.

• No bull sale in 2018 – The 2017-born bulls will sell in January or February of 2019 at 20-22 months of age.

We look forward to the increased opportunities to provide Colorado’s beef industry with more from the ARDEC cowherd, including a consistent supply of seedstock bulls, research results from grazing experiments, demonstrations of grazing principles via outreach activities including an annual field day, and well-trained students in the science of beef cattle production.

Please let us know if you have questions about these changes, and how best we can help you with this important transition.
