Welcome
This winter has tested cattlemen across the country. Bitter cold, frozen waterers, and long nights in the calving barn are reminders of the commitment it takes to care for livestock. It’s work few truly understand, but those who do share a deep respect for the people who live it every day.
With that in mind, we would like to invite you to join us on April 4th for The Bull Sale here in The Valley. Whether you are longtime customers or considering our programs for the first time, we appreciate your interest and the opportunity to be part of your breeding program.
At Paint Valley Farms, Byland Farms, and Beckler Shorthorns, our goal is simple: to produce practical Shorthorn bulls that work in real-world conditions. The bulls in this offering represent generations of disciplined selection focused on calving ease, structural soundness, maternal strength, and performance that adds value to commercial cowherds.
It has been rewarding to see these genetics go to work in operations across the country. Nothing means more to us than hearing from customers who tell us the bulls they purchased are leaving productive daughters and calves that perform.
Each bull is genomically tested, parent verified, and backed by a complete set of performance data
All bulls sell with a first-year breeding guarantee, and we offer free delivery to regional locations throughout the continental United States and to Canadian ports of entry.
Thank you for taking the time to study the offering. If we can assist you in any way, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
We look forward to welcoming you to The Valley on April 4th.
Sincerely, Lee Miller, Dr. Jeff Byers, Jon Byers, Greg Beckler

If you’re looking for a bigger framed, high performance bull to use, he certainly fits the bill. 52N was one of our heaviest yearling weight bulls. On paper, this bull checks nearly every box, as well as being homozygous polled. There’s a lot to like about Countdown.
BECKLER JUSTIFIED 12N
*x4394374 • 02/11/25 • Roan • Homo Polled
Justified is a pretty special bull. He’s a unique son of Times Square: roan, homozygous polled, and really good! His balance, depth of body, and mass are easy to like. His 114 weaning and 112 yearling weight ratios are top of the class. His Flash dam did a great job with this guy on her first try. When you study his data, almost every EPD is above breed average.

BECKLER MAGNITUDE 8N
*x4394370 • 02/01/25 • RWM • Polled
There is a lot to like about this Swagger son. He is a very complete bull in his type and structural build. His dam, KL 636, has been a very productive female for us since we brought her into the program from the Lauer herd. His completeness continues on paper, as he carries a very balanced set of EPDs across the board that are hard to poke a hole in.

BECKLER FIRST RESPONSE 39N
66
Here is an eye appealing bull with extra performance and look. The dam of 39N is a nice uddered young Flash daughter. His individual growth performance ranks well among our group of bulls this year. 39N is homozygous polled with a big time set of EPD figures. His $BMI and $CPI are among the highest in the sale.

BECKLER LINCOLN 21N
66
Lincoln is a bull that mashes the scales down in a more moderately framed package. He is deep and massive. His dam came to our herd from the Jungels program and has done a nice job in Ohio. He should add some pounds to his calves while maintaining a moderate frame in the replacement females you keep from him.

BECKLER ON DEMAND 9N
68
This guy is an attention getter with his power and quality. 9N is a maternal brother to Beckler Red Rock, a herd sire we used for calving ease and maternal quality. A full brother to 9N went to Burks Beef in Michigan. He’s a high calving ease bull with leading $BMI and $CPI. You should love the daughters he leaves behind in your herd.

BECKLER EXCLUSIVE 6N
68
6N is a nice bull with added length and plenty of shape and mass. The dam of 6N is a Flash daughter, whose first son went to Daniel Shirk in Pennsylvania. He brings loads of genetic quality to the table when you study his EPD profile. His rankings are high for a bunch of traits!

BECKLER ADVANCED 49N
Polled
Advanced is a part of the small class of Beckler Razor 38L sons that all have some gas in the tank. He’s soft middled with added growth. His dam is a hard working Lauer lined female. She’s raised 6 calves, never missed, and posted an average weaning ratio of 111 on those 6 head. He should be on your short list if you are looking for a power bull with added frame.

BECKLER LOCKWOOD 50N
A high performance son of Beckler Razor 38L with a cool look and a cool, eye catching roan color pattern. There aren’t many Razor calves, but they are certainly high quality. Lockwood is a high growth bull EPD that could really power up a set of calves off of cows.

BECKLER GATEWAY 48N

AND SOGGY DOG 7TM73 PVF SWAGGER 102J
72
Moderate and maternal are the best descriptors of Gateway 48N. His pedigree combines Swagger with a McCoy daughter out of the famous Byland Ellen cow family. His dam has already raised a pair of bulls that went to work for customers in Ohio. He should be a leading candidate for siring a top notch set of replacement heifers.

OVERVIEW OF EPDS
Calving Ease Direct (CED): The CED is listed as a percentage of unassisted born out of heifers. A higher CED EPD predicts a sire that will have a higher percentage of unassisted calves.
Birth Weight (BW): Compares the differences in the weight of calves at birth. It is measured in pounds, and cattle with higher BW are predicted to produce heavier calves.
Weaning Weight (WW): The WW is expressed in pounds and predicts differences in weaning weight of a sire’s calves at weaning. Bulls with higher WW predict heavier calves across the scale at weaning.
Yearling Weight (YW): Just like WW, only at the next stage of life. The YW is expressed in pounds. Higher YW are likely to produce bigger, heavier yearlings.
Milk (MK): The hardest trait to measure, since we don’t measure milk production in beef cows. The MK is measured in pounds of calf weaning weight due to his mother’s milking ability. A higher MK predicts that a bull will sire daughters who raise heavier calves due to their milk production.
Total Maternal (TM): Total Maternal EPD is a simple formula. TM= MK EPD + ½ WW EPD. It measures impact on calf weaning weight due to both milk production and the cow’s genetics for growth. Bulls with a higher TM EPD should sire daughters with a bigger impact on their calves’ weaning weight.
Calving Ease Maternal (CEM): Measures the ability of a bull’s daughters to calves unassisted as two year olds. The higher the CEM, the easier calving should be when a bull’s daughters have that first calf.
Stayability (ST): Cows who work longer make more money. The ST predicts the ability of a bull to sire cows that “stay around”. The ST is shown as a percentage of how much more likely a bull’s daughters will stay in your herd to the age of 6. A higher ST bull is more likely to have daughters stay around for a long time.
Carcass Weight (CW): The CW is all about pounds of beef on the rail. Higher CW means that a bull is more likely to sire feeders with heavier carcass weights.
Yield Grade (YG): The USDA Yield Grade scoring system is the unit of measurement for the YG. Yield Grade 1 are leaner, more retail product carcasses. Lower, more negative YG bulls are expected to sire calves that score better on the USDA Yield Grade scale.
Ribeye Area (REA): REA is measures the size of the muscle that gives us the ribeye in square inches. A higher REA indicates a bull is expected to produce larger a ribeye in their offspring.
Marbling (MB): The MB is in units of percentage of intramuscular fat within the ribeye. Higher MB bulls should sire higher marbling (and grading) feeder calves.
Fat Thickness (FT): Inches of back fat (in hundredths of an inch) is the unit of measurement for FT. More negative FT are indicative of a bull that should sire less back fat in his calves.
INEXES
Calving Ease Index ($CEZ): An index focused on identifying genetics that facilitate smoother calving when breeding first calf heifers. As the name suggests, the Calving Ease Index emphasizes calving ease, with a component built in to maintain mature cow size at acceptable levels.
Balanced Merit Index ($BMI): BMI includes a component of maternal traits, but also calving ease, growth, and carcass characteristics. This index is designed with replacement heifers being retained from within the herd, while the steers from the calf crop are marketing on a quality-based carcass grid.
Cow Productivity Index ($CPI): The Cow Productivity Index is the newest offering in the ASA genetic lineup as a tool focused on identifying the cattle that do the things we expect of a productive momma cow: calve unassisted, raise strong calves to weaning, keep mature size in check, and stay in the productive herd for years to come.
Feedlot Index ($F): For the cattleman who sees value in retaining ownership of feeder cattle. Growth, performance and carcass quality drive $Feedlot. Cattle bred to grow and grade excel in $Feedlot.
