Welcome to our 18th Annual Sale! “In It For The Long Haul” We have a history of starting this letter marveling at whatever Mother Nature has thrown our way in the preceding year. Sometimes, it’s drought. Last year, it was mud. Other times, it’s markets. Let us be the first to say, “We didn’t see THIS ONE coming!” Yes, we’re talking about COVID –19. What a roller coaster! Incredible disruptions in the world ag and financial markets. Huge swings in commodity prices. Family lives in upheaval as most found themselves homeschooling, or if you work off-farm, adapting to some work from home. Worse yet, some jobs were lost as businesses were disrupted in ways we’ve not seen in our lifetime. Of course, we’ve not even mentioned the human cost. We’ve all experienced someone getting sick and a few of us have seen friends or family members lose their lives to the virus. If you’ve been personally affected, we sincerely hope and pray you and your loved ones are well.
Our families continue to experience the effects of “time marching on” despite it all. After rescheduling and watching wedding plans evaporate, Cassie Kniebel married Dustin Aherin in a lovely, family only ceremony broadcast to “guests” on Facebook. Then Clay Kniebel popped the question to Shannon Blaes. She said “yes” (phew!) and they’re to be married in January. Chuck & Kim became grandparents again in 2020 as daughter Chelsey & husband Tanner Stucky welcomed their first child, daughter Parker. On the Carpenter/Downey side, COVID-chaos saw Anna’s Sept. start to nursing school evaporate. Now she’s hoping for a Jan. 2021 start in Lubbock. Laura is now a Jr. at KSU studying Animal Science. Both girls still love showing cattle and managed to do a bit of it, despite some restrictions. So while it’s been one of the strangest years we’ve ever experienced, it’s also been a good year. Suffice it to say however, we’re ready to see 2020 out the door and start fresh. Here’s praying for a better 2021 for ALL.
And as always, as we’re counting our We’ve all learned that life must go on. In fact, blessings, we recognize and are grateful for all a lot of us in ag marveled at how little our dayof YOU. It is because of your faith in and to-day lives have changed. Cattle don’t stop support of our programs that we are here being born, growing, and heading for harvest today, doing what we love. We continue to and the life cycle continues despite the work to earn that faith & trust, and are proud to upheaval. That means cows still need to be call you friends. bred, bulls replaced, new heifers procured, Chin up everyone. Remember, we’re all “In It and so on. What we cattlemen & cattlewomen For the Long Haul!” do today dictates what our ranch looks like 2+ years from now and well into the future. In times like this, we must stay focused on the Long Haul so that our families, our cow herds, Thank you! and our businesses thrive today, Clay & Shannon tomorrow and well down the road. 2010 BIF Commercial Producer of the Year

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:

Do NOT compare the Red SimAngus & Black Sim Angus EPDs! The Red SimAngus CAN be compared to the Red Angus, as they’re both registered with the Red Angus Association. The Black SimAngus are registered with the Simmental Association and the EPDs can be substantially different.

Another calving ease SimAngus with incredible docility. His dam AIs ever year!
Some VERY Important People We pride ourselves in being family operations, and these folks are part of our ranching family. Jake Wilson (pictured with wife Linda at left) joined KCC several years ago and is an excellent hand at the feedlot along with all his other duties. Matt Harrison has been at KCC now for 3 years and has primary responsibilities with the reg & comm cowherds. His dedication to and in-depth knowledge of the herd is amazing. Derek Neal (with wife Kyndall, below) came to DRI after graduating in May 2019. In a short time, he’s made himself invaluable, handling everything from cattle work to pen building with skill & dedication. He does whatever it takes to get the job done right! We feel very fortunate to have these quality young men on board. They’re an important part of our success!
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.

6020 KCC Month & DRI 100% Commercial 1A Red Angus Bred Heifers Bulls
KCC and DRI are pleased to offer 60 bred heifers to calve next spring. They represent the top of our spring born heifer calves. To start with, we kept heifers that were neither too big nor too small, were born in the 1st 1/2 of the season, had good temperaments, were good performers, and were structurally correct, etc. From that elite group, we selected heifers from the best cows. We are offering you the best of the best! These are NOT put together heifers but rather the top of our herd with generations of AI, tough selection and proven performance on the range and the rail. Heifers are bred to calving ease Black Angus (DRI) and Red Angus (KCC). The heifers have all their shots, & have been dewormed. Complete information on each heifer will be available on a supplement sheet online and at the sale. Videos of each lot will be online before the sale too. Heifers will sell in lots of 3 to 5. They will be penned at the sale, but a video presentation will run for each lot in the ring. THERE WILL BE A BASE BID ON ALL HEIFERS: These are heart of our herd heifers. There are A LOT of heifers out there every fall. As belts tighten, known genetics become all the more valuable. We continue to offer our BEST, KNOWN, PROVEN GENETICS that keep your foundation solid and improving. Therefore, the base bid on bred heifers will be $1800. Live Calf Guarantee: For a fee, we will keep them and calve them out for you, giving you a guaranteed pair. In the unlikely event we lose a calf, we will offer a like replacement. If none is available, we will offer a refund or credit in future sales. Please note: there are NO guarantees on heifers taken home to calve. Calve out fee with Live Calf Guarantee: $400/head, due on sale day. Ex. Buy a group of 4, pay gavel price + (4 x $400 = $1600), due sale day.
Ah, summer!
But summer turns to fall and fall to winter. And some winters have brought blizzards! So...
Remember - We offer calve-out service with our exclusive LIVE CALF GUARANTEE! See above for pricing information & compete details.

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. • 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. 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 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. 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 $Value is an estimate of how future progeny of each sire are expected to perform, on average, compared to progeny of other sires • Combined Value ($C) combines both Terminal & Maternal traits into one index. Not real wild about this one. • 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. Not real wild about this one either. • 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. • Shear Force (SF) - The lower the SF EPD, the more tender the beef.
