Welcome to our 17th Annual Sale! “In It For The Long Haul” Every year, it seems like we start this letter off by discussing what a strange weather year it’s been. Not wanting to break with tradition, we ask, “How about the strange year we’ve had?” Wetter and colder than it’s been in a long time, we, and a lot of our friends and customers, had a dismal spring calving season. It finally dried up enough to get some planting work done and for the most part, crops look good. Now if all the trade stuff would clear up and the markets would straighten out. Yep, planning for the future in the cattle business is definitely a “Long Haul” proposition. There’ve been a couple of happy changes at the ranches this year. First off, Cassie Kniebel got engaged in April to Dustin Aherin. Dustin hails from out around Phillipsburg and also has a cattle background. The wedding is April and plans are in full swing. Clay Kniebel left his job as a geologist with the KS Water Office in order to come home and join his folks at Kniebel Cattle Co, a very exciting development. Chuck & Kim Kniebel are grandparents 4 times over now as Chelsey & Tanner Stucky are expecting their first child, a girl, in early 2020. Anna Carpenter is at Texas Tech and applying to nursing school this year. Rounding out the family herd, Laura Carpenter is a sophomore at KSU and still showing a full string of cattle. In one final ranch update, Derek Neal has joined Downey Ranch. Derek graduated from KSU in May and hails from Nebraska. Prior to KSU, he spent 5 years in

Chuck & Kim Kniebel

We titled this year’s ads and sale “In it for the Long Haul.” We think it’s right on target as we all adjust to “normal” being anything but normal. Figuring out where our industry is going can sometimes feels like we’re aiming at a moving target. These dynamics reinforce how important it is to have a plan and stick to it. Anticipate, adapt and adjust? Absolutely. But when it takes literally years before you see the results of your breeding decisions, we know we have a real responsibility to make sure the decisions we make are in YOUR best interest. There are no short cuts to a reliable, consistent breeding program, and we promise we have the Long Haul in mind when we’re planning for our collective futures We are thrilled that the majority of our customers are repeat customers, and some of you have been with us since our private treaty days. We are humbled by that and proud to call you friends. Like any good friendship, you can count on us to be there for you for the Long Haul and treat you like we would any good friend. Finally, we are so thankful for both of our families and their long hours, hard work, special favors, and unfailing support. Our parents & non-ranching siblings also pitch in and help us pull this off every year. We couldn’t and wouldn’t do it without ALL of them. We love you all.

Thank you!

Update on The Star System On all our bulls, you’ll see a box of stars. We got tougher on them this year and you’ll see more 1 and 2 star bulls. We wanted to accentuate differences in bulls. This lets us take multiple EPDs along with what we know about the cow families and the conditions of that production year and summarize it all for you. In other words, if they’re a 4 star Calving sire, we know that the shape of that bull, his data & pedigree and his mother’s history all combine to make him one we wouldn’t hesitate to use on heifers. 3 stars means we’d use him on heifers UNDER SUPERVISION. Does this mean one star is a cow-killer? Absolutely not. We would NEVER sell anything we would not use in our own herds. PERIOD. One star calving ease means use on mature cows without a history of problems. For females, we’re taking longevity, udder structure, fertility under range conditions, mature size, fleshing ability, etc into account. That a bull gets 3 stars means he probably has a young dam or we don’t have a lot of experience with his sire. Remember: 2 stars is good, 3 stars is better, and 4 stars is exceptional.

Actual Performance, Genomics, and EPDs EPDs take into account individual performance, genomics & ancestry across different production systems, climates, herds, etc. instead of just one individual’s performance in one herd in one set of circumstances in that particular year. Therefore, we consider EPDs (in general) a better indicator of that animal’s genetic abilities than actual performance. In the case of Embryo Transfer, a bull’s actual performance is meaningless in the calculations because you can’t account for the affect of the recipient dam. We have some bulls who are older than the average and some that are younger. The breed associations adjust it using many variables and come up with a standardized number so that bulls can be compared on a more even footing. For example, what would this bull have weighed at 1 year old (365 days) given that he weighed 1325 when he was 400 days old coming off test. This tends to overcompensate younger bulls and penalize older bulls, especially in a herd comprised of earlier maturing cattle. This is why we recommend you look at EPD’s over actual performance.

Like Every Year: Bulls Will Sell in Catalog Order!!!! In order to make life easier for you, we are going to sell bulls in the same order they’re printed in the catalog. Please do not read anything into the sale order itself. The order is dependent on who would pen with whom (and not fight!) and how the bulls fit on a page with any available pictures. It is not meant to imply that any one bull is better than another! We are pleased to again broadcast the Kniebel Cattle Co. and Downey Ranch, Inc. Production Sale “live” over the Internet.

NO ONE knows what that your max is. If something happens to your connection or you can’t be in front of the computer, your bidding still gets done for you. Example—You put in a proxy for $5000 on Lot 12. An opposing bidder drops out at $4000. You own Lot 12 for $4250. Each video on the LiveAuctions.TV website has “Set My Proxy” option.

We’ll discuss your needs, figure out the best purchasing system and match up the bulls that will suit you best. Just visit with us BEFORE the sale and we’ll work together to find the best option for you. At the end of the day, we’re not happy until you’re happy.

In general, the AAA has set things up so that the higher the number, the “better” it is. In other words, for calving ease direct (CED), a bull with a 9 would calve easier than a bull with a 2. A higher marbling EPD means more marbling and so forth. However, please be careful not to think that bigger is always better. A bull with an outrageously high $Beef value may give you huge frame scores and hard doing cows. Higher milk values could lead in some instances to udder problems and cows that milk themselves down too much and therefore have trouble rebreeding. The other thing to consider is how much data is behind the numbers the Association generates. We’re excited about the $EN value index which attempts to get a handle on more efficient cows. However, this the Association uses Milk EPD and mature size only to calculate this number. This misses those really efficient outliers (and some hard-doing ones too!). The Red Angus Association is the only association that builds EPD’s from Total Herd Reporting (THR). THR uses data from the entire calf crop - not just the calves that were good enough to register. The biggest benefit of THR is the elimination of reporting bias from data used to calculate EPDs. Perhaps even more significant is the overestimate of performance of sires whose poorer performing calves are not reported. This next thought cannot be stressed too much. YOU CAN NOT COMPARE EPD’S ACROSS BREEDS!!!! Black Angus breeders consider BW +2.0 and below to be suitable for use on heifers, while Red Angus breeders will usually want a negative BW EPD. Having said that, here are the averages for parent sires in the AAA and RAA as of September of the current year:

Customer Testimonials Doug Wenderott, Alma KS: has bought over 25 bulls since

2004. He’s very pleased with his cowherd and his calves top the market consistently at Manhattan Commission Co. For a number of years, the same NE feedlot has bought Doug’s calves because they know that they feed great and make money!

Caleb Straus, Junction City, KS: has bought since 2003.

He’s loyal because he says “There is no ‘bottom’ end in their sale. If they’re selling him, I know he’s a good bull.” In fact Caleb often doesn’t come to the sale because he’s in a combine and trusts us to buy within his budget, get bulls that meet his specs, and free him up to do other things on his busy operation. Thank you to ALL our loyal customers. We APPRECIATE you!

Still harvesting (like Caleb might be, see above)? Either bid online at LiveAuctions.tv or let give us your list, or your budget & specs and let us (or one of the reps on p. 2) bid for you while you keep working. We have a sight-unseen guarantee and we’re here to make your life easier!

The 2018 Drought After a prolonged drought, 2018 pulled out all the stops and showed us what a real dry spell could look like. Ponds were empty & grass wasn’t growing. If we were going to do right by our cattle and our prairie, we had to wean calves and move cows off grass. This was in July. Some of you might not be aware what that does to data turned into breed associations and the resulting EPDs, It was so dry and dusty in 2018, we’re not sure if indexes and $ Values. To sum it up, these calves (which these calves were looking for a drink or a bath! now are these sale bulls) have yearling weights that were adjusted backwards significantly compared to their actual data. While it gets technical, it boils down to the longer than “normal” interval from their actual weaning date to their actual yearling date. This meant:

most of the bulls adjusted back by 50-100 lbs from their actual YW.

We’d be happy to explain it to you more in depth, but EPDs are your best predictor of performance. 2019 was of course a very different year for most of us. Let’s hope we’re out of the extended drought cycle and back to more normal rainfall, whatever that means.

Looking for the Heifers??? Due to the increasing size of our bull offerings, we have decided to no longer offer bred heifers during our sale. Does this mean we’re not selling heifers anymore? NO! Please visit with either ranch to talk about our offering. We’ll continue to have commercial bred heifers (and maybe even some registered females) just like always. Heart of the herd, developed and bred like we’ve always done. Nothing’s changed except how we’re selling them. And we’ll still offer our

Exclusive Live Calf Guarantee You pay an additional fee, we keep them, calve them out and you get pairs! Super easy, super convenient and we do the work for you. You can’t beat that with a stick. Give us a call!

A Word About Cattle Feeding It’s no secret that both operations are big believers in retained ownership of quality cattle. After all, if you’re going to go to the trouble of stacking high-quality genetics and handling and vaccinating your cattle properly, why not reap the benefits? You need to know how your own cattle perform, even if you never anticipate retaining ownership. Your buyers know how they feed, and will return if they have done well. If YOU have this information too, you can do a better job marketing your calves. We understand feeding cattle can be risky, and may not fit your cash flow; so how do you get data on how your calves perform and not interfere with your current marketing plan? Visit with us and we can help you devise a plan to fit your pocketbook. We can feed a small group (a representative sample) of your calves, maybe 5-20. They will pool with other like sized calves and you’ll get carcass data tied to your calf numbers. You can either have bragging rights, or know a few things you might need to fix. Either way, knowledge is power! Another option is finishing your open heifers. We offer this every year for customers who get their heifers preg checked by mid September. A handful of open heifers in the fall typically don’t bring much at the sale barn. But we’ve found those heifers feed like a dream We can pool them to make a larger group, feed them for 100 days, sell them on a grid and usually return significantly over their feeding costs. Talk about making lemonade! BIG profit compared to selling as open. If they are home raised heifers, this will also give you carcass data on the genetics of your herd that you can use for buyers of your calves! Talk to us about this opportunity to turn a loss into a gain!

Did you know….

There are multiple marketing assistance programs available, both through the Red Angus Assn and through us at Kniebel Cattle Co.? For example, we have several customers who get their heifers pregnancy checked by mid September and we pool the open heifers and feed them out! This turns a culled animal into a much more profitable venture. None of us have enough for a load individually, but together we can make it work. We also feed calves for customers or help them place calves in a trusted feedyard that will get the data on their calves. There are many options to talk about, and we would love to visit with you about them and see if one is a good fit for your operation. As China opens up, there might be opportunity for sourced calves again. This is different from the past in one very important way...they HAVE to be tagged before they leave home, there is no backtracking. The Red Angus tag program is very easy to use and a cheap and easy way to have it all covered. In fact, we will buy a bag of 25 tags for every bull you buy/per calf crop as long as you own him. (If you use them spring and fall you get 2 bags!)

Bull Development—Our Philosophy (Trust us; you’ll want to read this!)

All of us in the ranching community have done a done a fabulous job of changing cattle genetics the last 30 years. We have increased production and efficiency while decreasing inputs; an amazing feat and one we’ll have to continue fine tuning if we’re going to feed 9 billion people in the future.

Fit or Fat?

The answer has more implications than you might think.

There are a few pitfalls to this advancement in production however, and they have to do with longevity of a replacement animal...both cows AND bulls. A feedlot animal can be pushed to their genetic potential but doing so with bulls and replacement heifers can have serious negative effects on productivity and especially longevity. Extreme performance comes with a price.

Cattle lay down fat everywhere, not just under the skin. That includes the scrotum of a bull. So what? Well, when July rolls around and that insulating scrotal fat decreases your bull’s ability to cool his testicles, then his fertility plummets. There may be a few extra open cows show up in the fall and you really have no explanation. Was it the drought and heat? Mineral program? Grass quality? We have all kinds of suspects but how many times do you blame a fat bull? It is a real problem and one whose effects are surely underestimated. Exercise is another important consideration.. Your bull needs to chase cows over big, rugged pastures. If his only ‘training’ has been waddling to the feed bunk, you are…. Well, you get the drift. And speaking of those rugged, rocky hills, if your bull has some sub-clinical damage to his feet from a high grain ration (think low level founder), then he may get too sore to go the extra mile. There are all sorts of low level, subclinical problems that come from overfeeding a bull, and you can’t necessarily look at him and see them. But if he causes you a couple more open cows, that’s huge. Be picky about how your bull is developed, ask questions. And a reminder; never overfeed your bull when you get him home!

Your bull needs to chase cows over rugged pasture. If his only “training” has been waddling to a feed bunk, you (and your cows) are in trouble.

When we develop rations for bulls we try to think of the rumen health first, then feet and legs, while still feeding enough to see differences in genetic expression. A ration that is high roughage, has very little nonstructural carbohydrates (like grain) and more of the slowly digestible products that maintain a healthier pH in the rumen is what we’re after. Remember, there are 2 types of ‘bugs’ in the rumen that handle digestion: one type digests grains and the other roughages. They do not like to live in the same pH level. The higher acidity of a grain ration for long periods, causes spilling over of acids and bacteria from the rumen into the bloodstream and leads to damage such as liver abscesses, leaky rumen walls, and founder. When we take a 3-4 week long, 5 ration step-up in the feedyard to bring new cattle up to a top ration, it is not because they won’t eat the top high grain ration to start with….it is because we are taking time to let the rumen organisms change from being mostly roughage digesters to predominately grain digesters. If you take them too quickly you can cause stomach upsets, diarrhea, the cattle go off feed and maybe have bloating issues. If not corrected, you get foundered animals too.

Bulls should never be fed like a terminal feedlot animal. Never.

It truly is a balancing act, and bulls should never be fed like a terminal feedlot animal. The average backfat of our finished steers going to USPB is .50”-.60” and we typically grade 99% choice and higher. The average backfat of the bulls at ultrasound scanning is .17”-.25” backfat. In the seedstock industry, we see plenty of bulls with “finished” levels of backfat at scanning time. Pay attention to the fat cover on the bulls you purchase and make sure you are not buying a problem.

Having said all that, fat at the right place & time is very important. In feedlot cattle, we’re after marbling and it’s full expression. As you all know, we still have a large commercial herd, and finish out of all our calves that are not kept as replacement heifers. We have put great emphasis on good carcass traits, but not at the expense of good females, since we need both. After an entire career of crafting our own bulls, we are very proud to say that we’re breed leaders for carcass traits, yet we also have breed-leading maternal data & performance. You can have it all, IF the program is disciplined. We are continuing to collect carcass data and save replacement females from our own bulls so we have confidence in the data and the genetics we offer.

Understanding & Interpreting the Data Performance Data  BW—Bull’s birth weight as adjusted by the American Angus Association or Red Angus Association.  WW—Bull’s weaning weight adjusted by the AAA or ARA to 205 days  YW—Bull’s yearling weight adjusted by the AAA or ARA to 365 days  Scrotal—Bulls scrotal circumference in centimeters adjusted by the AAA or ARA to 365 days of age (1 year) Performance EPD’s (Expected Progeny Differences)  CED- Calving Ease Direct is expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births, with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in first-calf heifers. It predicts the average difference in ease with which an sire's calves will be born when he is bred to first-calf heifers.  BW-Expressed in lbs, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit birth weight to his progeny when compared to the progeny of an average bull in the breed.  WW & YW-Expressed in lbs, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit weaning/yearling growth to his progeny compared to the progeny of an average bull in the breed.  Milk-Also called Weaning Wt Maternal, is a predictor of a sire’s genetic merit for milk and mothering ability as expressed in his daughters. In other words, it is that part of WW attributed to mi and mothering ability. It is compared to daughters of an average bull in the breed.  Scrotal-Expressed in centimeters, it is a predictor of the difference in transmitting ability for scrotal size compared to the progeny of an average sire in the breed. Available for BLACK ANGUS ONLY.  Stayability-The expected difference in probability of daughters staying in the herd at least 6 years. Since cows are usually only culled for being open before the age of 6, the EPD is primarily a measure of sustained fertility in female offspring. Available for RED ANGUS ONLY. Carcass EPD’s (Expected Progeny Differences)  CW-Carcass weight, expressed in pounds is a predictor of the differences in hot carcass weight of a sire's progeny compared to progeny of other sires.  Marbling-expressed as a fraction of the difference in USDA marbling score of a sire's progeny compared to progeny of other sires. Higher marbling scores are positively correlated with higher carcass quality grades.  REA-expressed in square inches, is a predictor of the difference in ribeye area of a sire's progeny compared to progeny of other sires.  BF or FT– expressed in inches, is a predictor of the differences in external fat thickness at the 12th rib (as measured between the 12th and 13th ribs) of a sire's progeny compared to progeny of other sires.  YG-predicts differences in USDA Yield Grade score, and is expressed in USDA Yield Grade units Black Angus ONLY—$ Value Indexes  Cow Energy Value ($EN), expressed in dollars savings per cow per year, assesses differences in cow energy requirements as an expected dollar savings difference in daughters of sires. A larger value is more favorable when comparing two animals (more dollars saved on feed energy expenses). $Value indexes are multi-trait selection indexes, expressed in dollars per head, The $Value is an estimate of how future progeny of each sire are expected to perform, on average, compared to progeny of other sires  Maternal Weaned Calf Value ($M), an index expressed in dollars per head, predicts profitability differences from conception to weaning with the underlying breeding objective assuming that individuals retain their own replacement females within herd and sell the rest of the cull female and all male progeny as feeder calves.  Weaned Calf Value ($W), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for preweaning merit. Includes both revenue and cost adjustments associated with differences in birth weight, weaning direct growth, maternal milk and mature cow size.  Beef Value ($B), a TERMINAL index value expressed in dollars per carcass, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for postweaning and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires. Red Angus and Red SimAngus ONLY  Heifer Pregnancy (HPG) - predicts the probability of heifers conceiving to calve at two years of age. Many breeds offer genetic predictions of yearling bull scrotal circumference as an indicator of age of puberty. Red Angus’ HPG EPD offers more than an indicator trait, it selects for producers’ desired response: pregnant heifers.  The ME EPD predicts differences in energy requirements of mature daughters of an individual and is expressed in Mega-calories per month. Differences in Maintenance Energy requirements can easily translate into differences in feed required to maintain body weight. While higher milking, higher growth (larger mature size) cattle typically have higher maintenance requirements, there are many Red Angus sire choices that defy these antagonisms - actually combining positive revenue traits (Growth and Milk) with negative Expense Traits (ME). FOR THIS INDEX, THE LOWER THE NUMBER, THE BETTER!  HB & GM—Herd builder and grid master are both indexes designed with the idea that you are using Red Angus bulls on half-blood Simmental cows. This does not apply to many people, but you get the basis behind it now. The Herdbuilder is for choosing replacement females first and marketing the culls on a grid. It puts strong emphasis on Stay, HPG and CE, with slight amount on marbling, YG and growth. The Gridmaster is for marketing on the grid only, using marbling, YG and growth. We used to get a lot of black Angus info from the Canadian Angus Assc, as reds and blacks are together. Since 2015 that has not been possible, so anything with black angus in the background has a zero number and has to accumulate data to move that index. We have several AI sires that we used that are from upbreeding programs and have black one generation back. Their numbers show it. They will change as more data is submitted, but we only used ones we feel were really worthwhile! Black SimAngus ONLY  All Purpose Index (API)- Evaluates sire 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. Index units are in dollars per cow exposed.  Terminal Index (TI)- Evaluates sire for use on mature Angus cows with all offspring put on feed and sold grade and yield. Index units are in dollars per cow exposed.
