Welcome Thank you for your time and interest. We are committed to making Gengenbach Cattle Co your source for the best quality Simmental and SimAngus seedstock. First we have built our program to the size that offers you more choices in quality genetics and all from one program managed the same—no cooperators. GCCR is ranked #2 for Simmental registrations in Nebraska and #14 nationally. We are also building a quality registered Angus herd. This year there will be 4 Angus bulls on the sale but check out our section on Angus to see what is coming for next year.

Second you can see all the performance data, carcass data, pedigrees and epds in this catalog but you can trust that GCCR cattle must also pass “real world” tests and meet our standards for disposition, soundness and maternal traits. And finally the bottom line—Wilson Feedyard feeds out our steers every year and every year the steers have shown a profit.

Third, we are committed to providing customer service. In other words we expect the cattle to perform for you. We are here to help if you have problems.

As before we are offering choices in type and style of bulls. All are bred to be balanced and to have maternal traits but there are differences in individuals. Some have more frame and the most strength in growth and muscle such as the TopCut bulls. Some are more moderate in frame and have more strength in low birthweight calving ease and marbling such as the GAR Prophet and In Focus bulls. And most are somewhere in the middle frame wise with all around balanced strengths such as the TJ Easy Money and SAV Con Air genetics. Check with us on your particular needs and we can suggest the best bulls to fit your program.

Take this opportunity to use GCCR bulls and females to help you capture those record cattle prices. We invite you to join us for a family day on sale day. Come have lunch with us and check out the cattle Friday, March 21. See you there.

MULTI-BREED CALVING EASE The multi-breed calving ease EPDs are here! You will now see a number for calving ease (CE) and maternal calving ease (MCE) for the SimAngus animals. Please notice that the base changed for the MCE. Which just means that the average is different than before, so make sure to take note of the new average. Here are the current EPD averages for the Purebreds and the SimAngus:

The American Simmental Association and the American Red Angus Association have become partners for the purpose of EPD calculation. In order to make it easier for the customers, they have agreed to work on the same base, so this summer, watch for the EPDs to be on a new base.

The only thing you have to think about is to remember to look at the EPD averages to be able to compare the EPDs of each animal to the new average. It will not change the spread between any bulls or the meaning of each EPD.The base number will just be different for each trait. It will actually make it easier to compare animals across breeds.

To see the entire percentile tables for the purebreds and the hybrids, log on to www.simmental.org. *Note the EPDs in the catalog are Simmental and NOT Angus. Compare GCCR cattle EPDs to the Simmental breed average not the Angus which are different.

Solid balanced 3/4 SM bull—ranks top 1% of breed for WW, top 3% YW, top 2% TI. A maternal brother was last year’s top selling bull to Hanson Farms.

Disposition Quiet cattle with good disposition are a No. 1 requirement around here. Notice that the bloodlines we bring in are high in docility. Then we cull strictly and eliminate any animal at any stage if they are nervous or difficult to handle. Calves are socialized from an early age and handled in a quiet and easy manner. And don’t let anybody tell you that a cow has to be aggressive to be a good mother, most of our cows are gentle but will also be very protective of a newborn. Now studies have come out citing increased pregnancy rates with docile cattle. We have been seeing the studies showing that quiet, calm cattle gain better and more efficiently in the feedlots. Thus there is an economic payoff to docility along with the pleasure and increased safety of working with easy cattle.

Purchased from Joe Bata in North Dakota, Top Cut was the #1 growth son of the old Top Cut bull; who was the No 1 growth bull in the breed for years. We brought in Top Cut to boost performance. He is a big and stout 6.5 – 7 frame bull who sires length, muscle and growth. He has a deep rib and flank and has maintained excellent condition regardless. He is super sound and sires big stout rugged bulls that can cover cows in big pastures. These bulls do not have to be 2 years old to do the job. Use on cows and you won’t have any calving issues. His sons work particularly well on Angus cows. We guarantee you will see a difference in added pounds on the scale at weaning and yearling weights.

We guarantee this bull will sire more pounds at weaning and his calves will finish out fast and efficiently for more profit and carcass premiums. Herd bull prospect.

health statement It is our desire that bulls and females purchased from GENGENBACH CATTLE will have a long and productive life. With that goal in mind we have implemented the following protocol: All sale animals are ear notch tested for BVD and to this date no positive animals have been detected.

All breeding females receive a pre breeding vaccination with a modified live BVD vaccine to help prevent BVD persistently infected calves. At preg check cows are given killed vaccine for BVD, BRSV, IBR, Vibrio and Lepto. Calves receive vaccine for BVD, BRSV, IBR, Pasteurella and Clostridium in the spring and at pre weaning and weaning. Cattle are dewormed in the fall with Dectomax injectable and treated for lice and grubs at that time also. Sale bulls and heifers will be poured with Dectomax prior to sale.

We kept this younger bull because at weaning he weighed as much as many older calves. Out of a low birthweight dam this combination worked and he has continued his growth post weaning.

With feed costs high, in today’s cattle feeding environment, you need an animal that will perform efficiently and hang a carcass that will generate premiums above “average” cattle. We have been feeding Gengenbach Cattle Co calves for the last seven years and they have proven that they can do both. The gains are well above the yard average and the conversions are as well. We have been marketing these cattle through the US Premium Beef grid in the spring and early summer. This grid works well for cattle that grade choice and dress above the plant average as do the Gengenbach cattle. The disposition of the cattle is excellent which makes everyones’ job easier. It has been a pleasure feeding Randy and Mary Jo’s cattle.

s a v con air 1086 Lot 2 at Schaff’s 2012 Angus sale, Con Air was the lead off bull of the SAV Brand Name sire group. Kelly Schaff and Bob guided us to Con Air because we wanted docility, moderate birthweight, phenotype and style with as much maternal and growth performance as we could get. One of their “A” rated bulls, Con Air according to Kelly and Bob was “one of the stoutest hipped bulls in the sale”. Excellent fertility as we were able to get him collected and freeze quality semen right after the sale so that we were able to use him both natural service and AI. We are using him for daughters to build our registered Angus herd and to cross on our Simmental. He sires his own phenotype so that his calves are stylish, stout, long and deep ribbed with a big middle. Birthweights have been low to moderate, growth and carcass has been good to excellent. There won’t be as many comments with his sons because they are so much alike.

SCHURR 77 x58 7055 We have been buying the top selling bull at the Schurrtop spring bull sale for the last 6 years. The Schurrtop bulls are outstanding for calving ease yet they grow out fast and earn carcass premiums.

Every year many of the Schurrtop sired bulls sort to the top beating out many name AI sires. The Schurrtop sired females have made excellent cows for us and help us to improve calving ease, reduce birthweights, earn carcass premiums and help maintain our growth and maternal traits.

Out of an Angus female that we raised, this bull is in the Simmental database. The dam produced a top selling Angus bull at a previous sale. Although young, we kept this bull because of his growth at weaning, however, his adjusted weight appears higher than realistic.

registered open heifers These registered SimAngusTM heifers are daughters of a cross section of Angus and Simmental sires.

For us the true test of a bull is in the daughters he sires. All of these heifers will make good cows.

There will be a choice of type and style just as with the bulls. Lots 78 and 79 are big powerful 3/4 Simmental. The Angus sired females are low birthweight calving ease heifers with ample body. All heifers have been through a complete vaccination program.

Maternal Heterosis “The benefits seen from using a SimAngus bull on a mainly straight bred cowherd are subtle at first-slightly higher weaning weight, average daily gain and a higher calf survivability rate can be expected. However, research trials dated as far back as thirty years conclude the greatest advantage is an increase in overall cowherd production thanks to Maternal Heterosis. The crossbred cow is 20 to 30 times more productive in her lifetime than a straight bred cow due to increased longevity, increased efficiency, reduced age at puberty, calf survival rate, and increased rate of gain.”

“Remember that all crossbreeding provides heterosis, but heterosis alone cannot fix poor genetics.”

Quotes from Jim Butcher, Gateway Simmental, Lewistown, Montana

QUICK GUIDE to ASA EPDs and $ 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 their progeny (moving from -5 to +10 yields 15 units). 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: All-Purpose Index (API): Dollars per cow exposed under an all-purpose-sire scenario. (See below for more details.)

Back Fat (BF): Inches of backfat.

Birth Weight (BW): Pounds of birth weight.

Calving Ease (CE): Percent of unassisted births when used on heifers.

Carcass Weight (CW): Pounds of carcass weight.

Maternal Calving Ease (MCE): Percent of unassisted births in first-calving daughters.

Milk (MLK): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk.

Marbling (MRB): Marbling score.

Maternal Weaning Weight (MWW): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk and growth.

Ribeye Area (REA): Square inches of ribeye.

Warner-Bratzler Shear Force (WBSF): Pounds of force required to shear a steak.

Stayability (STAY): Percent of daughters remaining in the cowherd at 6 years of age.

Terminal Index (TI): Dollars per cow exposed under a terminal-sire scenario. (See below for more details.)

Weaning Weight (WW): Pounds of weaning weight.

Yearling Weight (YW): Pounds of yearling weight.

Yield Grade (YG): Yield grade score. $ Indexes: Though EPDs allow for the comparison of genetic levels for many economically important traits, they 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 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 their 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 $6,000 over a+50 bull if both are exposed to 30 cows over 4 years ($50 diff. x 30 hd. x 4 yr. = $6,000). A percentile-ranking chart is required to determine where a bull’s index value ranks him relative to other bulls in the breed.
