Dear Friends,

Another six months have rolled around and it’s time for our 17th SELECTION DAY Sale. Again, we offer the top performing bulls that are still here after 3 hard culling periods and bred females from the top of their Purebred and Hybrid contemporary groups.

I got a phone call from a good customer the other day and he told me he was getting ready to semen test 18 herd bulls before our sale to see if he needed any bulls. He also told me that he had only purchased bulls from us for the last 12 or so years and the bulls he was testing all came from us. Doing the quick math in my head, knowing how many bulls he had purchased at one time, I replied to him, “Some of those bulls had to be 10 or 12 years old”.

He came back to me with “I know, that’s why I’m testing them.” Longevity is one of the very positive traits of these cattle and we continue to see proof of it every day.

Another thing we witness every day is how these Braunvieh and Hybrid cows can rough it with the best of them, raise a calf, breed back and do it all over again. By running our Purebred, Hybrid and Braunvieh influence commercial cows together, we give them the true test and see what they and their offspring can do, not only in our environment on grass, but what they will do when they get to our customers’ places.

We want them to do the same good job for you that they are doing for us and if they don’t, we want to know about it.

For years, since 1992 in fact. We have talked about our Calf Roundup as a way for our customers to net more dollars from the sale of their feeder cattle. This past January, we grouped 545 calves from our customers. While they were at the sales facility, Thursday through Monday, we added $20,400 value to that many calves, $37.50 per head. Helping our customers benefit from our genetics is one of the reasons we are here and we are glad to do it for anyone. If you have interest, ask us, and we will be glad to refer you to a Calf Roundup participant to talk to.

Hope you can join us April 21, 2018. We know that there are lots of other places you can go to buy breeding stock and only ask that you give us a look. We’ve been helping people improve their calves and netting more dollars for a long time and besides that, some say Teri’s free lunch alone is worth the trip.

McBee Bull & Female Selection Day

General Information

PLACE. Annual McBee Spring SELECTION DAY will be held at McBee Cattle Company, one mile east of Fayette, MO, at the intersection of Highways 124 and H. ACCOMMODATIONS. Comfort Inn, Boonville................................. 660-882-5317 Days Inn, Boonville........................................ 660-882-8624 Holiday Inn Express, Boonville.................. 660-882-6882 SALE PROCEDURE. See the Bid Procedure Outline on page 4. This sale format has been designed for you, the buyer. There is no pressure to make a quick decision as there is in an auction. This procedure allows you to have a soda, evaluate all the animals in the offering and then place bids on those animals that meet your buying specifications. Later you can return to the pens where you have placed bids on animals to see if anyone else has bid on those animals you want. We definitely do not want any confusion over the bidding and buying procedure. If you have questions or need help, don’t hesitate to ask.

BIDDING ASSISTANCE. If you have any questions or need assistance in bidding, please let us know. We will have people available to assist you in any way possible. Although we would rather have you attend the sale, if you cannot make it on SELECTION DAY, feel free to call us and make arrangements to look the offering over prior to SELECTION DAY. There will be NO bulls or females sold from the offering prior to SELECTION DAY. However, feel certain that bids left with us, including Sight Unseen Bids, will be handled with the strictest confidence. All Sight Unseen purchases are fully guaranteed to the buyer’s complete satisfaction. If you don’t like the animal when you see it, you don’t own it. We can also help you place your bids over the phone between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm on SELECTION DAY. If you wish to bid over the phone, please contact either Ron McBee (573) 228-2517 or Duane Sicht (660) 631-0073 ahead of the sale.

BULL INFORMATION. All bulls are grown and developed on a total commodity ration with hay. A ration of DDG’s, corn gluten, and ground hay has been used since the bulls were weaned. No more than 2 lb. of corn per day has been used during winter. The bull ration is designed to allow the bulls to show their genetic potential for growth. These bulls are hard and will go out and breed cows

without melting. We will have the bulls penned in small groups according to base price. The base price will be determined on each animal’s MGR (McBee Growth Ratio), REA ratio, IMF ratio and other additional value we feel the bull will contribute to a set of crossbred calves. If you need any other information on a bull to help make your decision, don’t hesitate to ask. We want you to be completely comfortable on any bull that you bid on or purchase.

A McBee Performance Certificate and a satisfactory breeding soundness exam will be furnished on each bull at no cost to the buyer. It is recommended that each bull be semen checked closer to turn out time to avoid any potential disasters.

Any bulls that do not sell between 10:00 and 2:00 pm on SELECTION DAY, will be available to purchase by private treaty after the sale for the bull sale average of their contemporary group.

RETAINED INTEREST. The truly great performance sires of any breed are often discovered later in life after proving themselves through their progeny. Mistakes are often made when trying to decide whether a bull is worthy of semen collection prior to having progeny. We obviously want to participate in the semen sales from McBee bulls that prove worthy, so we will retain a semen interest in each bull sold. On SELECTION DAY bulls, we sell full possession, full salvage value and 1/2 semen interest for all bulls. This means the buyer has full control of the bull, however, McBee Cattle Company will be a 50% partner in any future semen sales. If you sell the bull to another producer or breeder, McBee Cattle Company’s semen interest will be retained.

The buyer may purchase 100% semen marketing rights by paying twice the final sale price at the time of purchase. In the event 100% semen rights are purchased in this manner, McBee Cattle Company will retain the right to not more than 100 units of semen for within herd use only. In either instance, we are not retaining the right to collect a bull without the purchaser’s permission and at a time that is convenient for them. Realistically, we expect this to be exercised on only 1% to 2% of the bulls sold.

Please note the bulls in which we are only selling ½ possession interest. These bulls will be used naturally by both the buyer and McBee Cattle Company. Spring or fall possession will be the choice of the buyer and transportation will be split between buyer and seller.

FEMALE INFORMATION. All McBee heifers are grown from weaning on a high fiber, low starch ration on grass. They are rigidly culled on how they perform on our fescue based pastures so those that make the cut will be able to adapt and perform in their new owner’s environment. By the date of this printing, all the pairs may not have calved. At the buyer’s request, the few that have not calved by SELECTION DAY will be kept and cared for by McBee Cattle Company. The heifers will be calved and be available for the buyer to pick up at a later date. Great care will be taken with any heifer left in our care, however, all risk of calf or heifer loss will be on the buyer of the heifers. All the current calving information is in the catalog. The remainder of the calving information will be provided on SELECTION DAY. All bred heifers in the sale have been pregnancy examined close to sale day and are guaranteed bred on sale day & up to 30 days after they leave. The new buyer is welcome to have the bred heifers pregnancy examined at their place within 30 days of the sale. We cannot guarantee pregnancy after 30 days from sale day.

All of the heifers, pairs, bred or open, are offered to you from the “top of the crop”. The heifers will be penned and priced individually according to price. The females that have a * in front of their numbers are being sold as commercial only.

All other females wil be sold with a McBee Performance Certificate furnished to the new buyer.

HEALTH. Health papers, if necessary, will be provided for the animals to go anywhere in the continental U.S. Necessary TB Testing and Trich Testing will be performed after the sale, if required. All animals have had proper vaccinations for Blackleg, IBR, P13, BVD, BRSV, Lepto and Vibrio. All animals have been dewormed within the last 60 days.

McBEE 1st BREEDING SEASON GUARANTEE. We guarantee that all breeding cattle we sell are fertile to the best of our knowledge. If a bull is injured at any time during the first breeding season following the sale, that being defined as 90 days after the first turnout of the bull, so as to make them functionally infertile or unable to breed, we will provide you with a satisfactory replacement (if available), or issue you a credit equal to the bull’s purchase price minus the salvage value received for that bull. All 1st calf pairs and bred heifers carry their own breeding guarantee. On open heifers sold, if a female is determined to be a non-breeder, then we would ask you to sell her and would offer you the difference of her purchase price minus the salvage value as a credit in any future McBee Cattle Company sale. Both the bulls and females need to be examined and certified by a veterinarian.

All credit is good until it is used and does not expire. We would simply ask you to contact us before you cull your infertile or injured animal. This is not a life insurance policy, however.

We cannot replace a dead bull or heifer or one that becomes incapacitated resulting from negligence.

PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATES & REGISTRATION PAPERS. Every Fullblood and Purebred bull and female is out of registered parents and are eligible for registration and transfer with the Braunvieh Association of America unless they have an * in front of their number. All eligible animals, Fullblood, Purebred and McBeef Builder Hybrids will be sold with a McBee Performance Certificate (MPC) furnished to the new buyer at no cost. The MPC has all the necessary performance information on that animal. If requested, a BAA registration

4

paper will be transferred at no cost to the new buyer on all eligible Fullblood and Purebred bulls and females. BAA registration papers can be provided on any eligible McBEEF BUILDER Hybrid cattle, at a cost, if needed.

McBEE SELECTION DAY BID PROCEDURE. 1. Register at desk and receive a Buyer’s Number.

2. When you want to bid on an animal, put your Buyer Number on the line across from your $ bid on the bid sheet provided on each animal.

3. The first bidder on each animal can make his bid at the base price that is preprinted on each bid sheet.

4. You can record your bid on the bid sheets at any time and as many times as you want between 10 AM to 2 PM. 5. On bulls, bids will be taken in $50 increments until 2 PM. On heifers, bids will be taken in $25 increments until 2 PM. 6. We will begin closing the bidding on the bull pens starting at 2 PM with Pen 1. Subsequent pens will be closed as we move sequentially through the offering. Any buyers, and only those buyers that are on any of the bid sheets on any of the animals in that pen, will have, if needed, additional time to raise the bid at $100 increments for bulls and $50 increments for heifers. When the bidding stops, the high bidder on each animal is the new owner.

7. If you were a bidder in Pen 1 but were not a successful buyer, you may want to place a bid on one of the other pens before the bidding closes on those. As mentioned above, we will move in numerical order until all bull pens are closed and then the same procedure will apply to the female pens.

8. After the sales are completed in Pen 1, bidding will close on Pen 2 and the procedure mentioned above will be repeated.

This should allow you to select another animal if you don’t get your first choice.

9. When the bid sheet on a pen is removed and sent to the clerk’s table, you may settle up for your purchase with the clerk and be ready to load out as soon as an alleyway is cleared.

10. Both Buyer Number and $ Bid must be on corresponding lines on the bid sheet to be counted as a bid.

RATIOS VS. ACTUALS The reason only ratios and EPD’s are provided in our Bull Listing is because these are the best available indicators of genetic merit. Keep in mind that actual weights and other actual performance measures can tell more about management than genetics. We have listed actual birth weights because we feel they have some importance as to the size and type of cow the bulls need to be used on and the birth numbers are still the most important ones.

If we do not get a live calf, the rest of the numbers don’t mean much. We have included all other measures that we believe best describe the genetic differences in our offering. The bulls have been ratioed in two contemporary groups: Purebreds and McBeef Builder Hybrids. Obviously, when you ratio a group, half of the group are below the average of the group and half are above the average of the group. I think it more accurately rewards the better half in a larger group than a smaller one.

None of our contemporary groups are very big, so some with below average ratios are still pretty good bulls. Please ask if you need other measures or additional information to help you make your selection.

HYBRID SIRES

We have listed most of the sires that have a big influence on the genetic base of this offering. Most of the Braunvieh and McBeef Builder Hybrid bulls that we use in our breeding program today, in fact, 77% of them we produced and offered through our SELECTION DAY sales since 2004. Some 1/2 interest bulls have sired calves both in our herd and our customers’. Other bulls that were not selected sale day have been retained in our program and we are now offering their offspring to you after they have gone through our rigid development and culling program, just like their sires did. We think this is proof that the way we measure and select bulls to offer you is working. We also think that they have to be good enough for us to use in our program for us to want to offer them to you. We use what we sell……..

Braunvieh Program

Being involved in the beef business in one way or another all of our lives, we have had experience with two other purebred breeds, commercial cow/calf production, fed cattle in the feedlots and backgrounding stocker cattle for ourselves and others. We have had experience since 1982 with cell grazing, intensive grazing, mob grazing or whatever name you want to use. Our operation now consists of 2100 acres of fescue based pasture in over 100 paddocks with 8 miles of underground waterline and 60 tire water tanks. All of this to manage 500 cows and to develop 150 heifers and around 120 bulls every year. Our registered and commercial cattle are all handled and culled the same way. The McBee program is based on a balanced approach to genetic selection, not chasing maximum production for a single trait. Our cattle are measured and ratioed in contemporary groups for genetic progress, instead of actual weights and measures to see how good of a feeding job we do.

We have never been accused of not thinking outside the box and for all of these reasons, in 1992 we selected Braunvieh to advance our beef production program. Most breeds of cattle give us the benefit of either/or, either maternal performance with good females OR feedlot/carcass quality with above average cutability. Braunvieh cattle have proven themselves to offer the best of both worlds. They have unmatched female performance (from halfbloods to fullbloods); the best cows we have ever had. Unchallenged feedlot and carcass quality has been proven time and time again. For those that are still selling pounds, Braunvieh bulls have shown unequalled total pound of calf per cow exposed.

From the very beginning of our Braunvieh program, we knew we had the right cattle. We were also aware that the marketing process, through traditional marketing channels, would pose a challenge to maximize dollars for our calves as well as our customers’ calves. Thus, the McBee Calf Roundup was born in 1992 and we began grouping and marketing our customers’ production in truck load lots, regardless of color. In 2010, we introduced the McBee Genetic Advantage Program (MGAP), a program to continue to increase the potential for additional dollars to our customer’s bottom line.

Of all the cattle that we have experienced over the years, Braunvieh is the breed with the fewest faults and the one that is poised to help producers maximize their hybrid vigor on their black commercial cows. With our many Customer Service programs, there leaves you very little reason not to try a Braunvieh bull or female. We are continuing to look for ways to help our customers maximize profit.

McBee Cattle Company Annual Spring Selection Day

MCHybrid BEEF BUILDER Bulls

Crossbreeding has long been proven that it will make commercial cow/calf operations more efficient and thereby more profitable. By crossing two pure breeds, making an F1 hybrid, an additive effect takes place to increase weaning weights by 10 to 15%. There are also other benefits that add to the bottom line including cow longevity, breed back ability and total pounds of calf weaned per cow.

Although there are definite, measureable benefits to the 3 way terminal cross system (making F1 females and breeding them to a bull of a 3rd breed) the planning and implementing of this program can be very difficult and cumbersome for the cow/calf operation.How many management groups you have to have and which breed of bull to put in what pasture with which cows to keep the 3 way cross going are just a few of the decisions that have to be made.

Now, there is a much simpler way. Documented research shows the use of two hybrid animals in a breeding program producing 2nd generation F1 calves (called F2’s in our program), to be as effective for maintaining hybrid vigor at the same level as 1st generation F1 calves (called F1’s in our program). This simply means that using Hybrid bulls on a set of crossbred or hybrid cows will generally produce as much hybrid vigor as the crossing of two straight bred animals without the complications of a 3 breed rotation system.

Since 2002, we at McBee Cattle Company have been producing a Braunvieh/Angus Hybrid animal to help our commercial customers simplify their breeding and production programs. Called the McBeef Builder Hybrid, they are made from our best purebred and fullblood Braunvieh cows mated to some of the best Angus genetics we could find, through both natural breeding and artificial insemination. In fact, we have some purebred cows in the herd that have produced the top indexing bull in the purebred group one year and the top McBeef Builder Hybrid bull the next year. In our Hybrid program, we feel it is important to continue to make our cattle more uniform and consistent in the good traits.

From our experience so far, we think we are on the right track by using our best F1 bulls on our F1 females to make 2nd generation F1 hybrids (which we call F2’s). We are now getting some 3rd generation hybrid calves to compare and they are uniform and consistent enough to make us want to continue what we are doing.

We pride ourselves on the docility of our cattle, but our bulls have been raised in groups, tested in groups, measured in groups and have never been penned by themselves.

We suggest when you take your bull home, you put him with another animal while he is being adapted to his new environment.

Their MGR, REA and IMF ratios vary some but you can sure see a pattern of good growth and carcass traits in these full brothers. Their dam, PB 4020P, is a consistent producer sired by PB Polled Precision 7L, who makes some of the highest quality maternal females in our PB herd. She has been a proven producer that has had a big influence on not only our PB herd but as you can see, our F1 Hybrid program as well. Remember, you cannot compare birth wts of ET calves to NA calves. These are high growth bulls and will add a lot of pounds to a set of crossbred cows.

Polled/scurred son of F1 2901, SEL DAY 2013, MGR 140, REA 103, IMF 100, and 1st calf heifer F2 4639 with a BR 2@96, WR 1@105. She is top 15% to 25% CED, BW, WW and YW. His sire was a heifer bull until he got too big. This bull had a 62 lb birth wt and ratioed with the big boys. Possible heifer bull.

purebred Heifers

Last fall we offered some of the best polled females we had ever produced. After getting very positive feedback from customers around the country that purchased those heifers as to what kind of cows they are making, we decided to dig just as deep for this springs SELECTION DAY. Again, one of the highlights of this sale will be the Purebred polled bred heifers. Eight of them are polled or polled/scurred and all of them go back to either Vista Basic Beef 11L or are sired by his half brother MCB MR 5549 9138 4021.

Our Purebred program continues to benefit from these genetics as well as our McBeef Builder Hybrid program. We are also using 10 purebred bulls from the same genetics on our commercial herd of crossbred cows and our Braunvieh Influence cows. I think this shows what we think of the performance of this genetic line, mostly polled, moderate birth, adequate growth on forage without breaking the bank to feed them, females that milk and do a job of raising the calf and breed back as second calf cows with minimal supplement, all the while, weaning calves at the top of their contemporary groups for weaning weight.

We are offering heifers that we should be keeping, but in most cases, we still have the factory and are able to do this. Help yourself.

MCBEE GENETIC ADVANTAGE PROGRAM

Calf Roundup

The McBee Genetic Advantage Program is a genetic source verified program designed to add more value to calves that are of McBee influenced genetics. This program is designed to help McBee customers maximize their return on their investment in McBee seedstock. We have seen since the inception of our Calf Roundup program in 1993, that grouping calves that are consistent in their make-up and produced from similar genetics into larger groups to merchandise to buyers adds value over and above marketing them the traditional way.

After grouping and marketing our customers’ calves by private treaty, two times per year for 20 years, we moved the January 2013 Roundup cattle to the Missouri Valley Commission Company in Boonville, Mo. and their owners provided us the opportunity to do the ultimate test in marketing almost 400 head of McBee Braunvieh and Hybrid bred calves. The cattle were gathered at the ranch as usual and sorted into 8 groups of like size and sex. The cattle were handled and fed for one week in our pens, as usual.

Then we decided to run the ultimate test on how our cattle are accepted in the marketplace by hauling them again and marketing them through the MVCC. Eight groups of cattle were sold through the sale ring with no sort for color. Six out of the eight groups of cattle topped the sale and were sold in 30 minutes for top price of the day. So, we had proven to ourselves that with the right kind of cattle, with the right genetics, using the right marketing program with the right people helping us, we could improve on something that was already working pretty well. With the move to the sale ring, we had a renewed shot of competitive bidding for our calves. Realizing that color is not an issue if you have the other things right, we use their facilities to sort and group the cattle five days prior to the sale and still see the more accurate pay weight that we have all enjoyed for many years.

The McBee Calf Roundup has always been a grouping and marketing program for our customers of pre-conditioned, Vac 45 calves. MGAP was an addition to the Roundup to continue adding value and give all the participants assurance that our goals will be met. Making this move to the “next generation” of the McBee Calf Roundup was an important step and has proven its worth by seeing repeat buyers for MGAP calves.

See the simple participation guidelines listed to right. If you have any questions, please contact Ron McBee, 573-2282517 or email at mcbcattle@aol.com.

participation guidelines

1. Customers qualify to participate in the MGAP/ McBee Calf Roundup program with the purchase of a McBee Cattle Company Braunvieh or Hybrid bull.

2. Eligible cattle must be sired by a McBee bull or out of a female purchased from McBee Cattle Company.

3. With the move to the MVCC, if a calf does not qualify for the MGAP, it can still be sold that day.

4. After a producer qualifies by purchasing a McBee bull, he is allowed to bring one calf crop to the Roundup that are not all sired by a McBee bull. After this one exception, all calves to be grouped and sold through the MGAP program by this customer, must be sired by a McBee bull or out of a female purchased from McBee Cattle Company.

5. All cattle enrolled must be owned by the producer participant.

The quality of our Hybrid bred heifer offerings continue to get deeper as we are able to offer more F1 and F2 females for your inspection. All these heifers were synchronized and either AI bred or NA bred the first time. They have all been ultrasounded for number of days pregnant on sale day. 96% should calve in a 20 day window starting on August 25, 2018, to bulls that we use on heifers. We guarantee the heifers are bred when they leave the ranch and up to 30 days following. The calves will all qualify for the August 2019 MGAP program.
