4M Angus Sale Barn

Welcome to our 9th Annual Bull Sale!

I would like to start out by thanking everyone for taking the time to look through our bulls and giving us the opportunity to share our program with you! I always thank everyone at the end, but this year I have to thank them first since they are the reason everything gets done around the farm and we are able to do what we do. I have to thank my wife, Kami, and daughters, Kyra & Kasey. Without all their dedication and work throughout the year, none of this would be possible. Next I have to thank Shane for everything he does all year long. Whether it is on the farming operation or the cattle side of the operation, Shane is a big part of everything that is done around here and we cannot thank him enough for all the hours and dedication he has given to us! Lastly we have to thank our parents. From helping with day to day activities to getting the kids to and from activities, we would not be what we are today without their help. Now on to the bulls!

How quickly things can change in a year! We went from record high prices a year ago to more modest and probably more realistic prices, in today’s current market. No matter how high or how low the current market value is, good cattle are always in higher demand and paid a premium for. Investing in quality genetics and high quality cattle will always pay off in the end!

We are extremely proud and excited to bring you a set of bulls this year that is without a question the deepest, most complete group we have ever sold. That is why this year we cataloged the bulls in sire groups instead of a catalog order. This was the toughest set of bulls we have ever had to try and put in a catalog order. From 1 to 48, there are tremendous bulls on every single page of the catalog. Someone had to be first and someone had to be last; and trust me, Lot 48 may be one of the favorites on sale day! The bulls offered out of our herd sire, Poss Element, will change one’s thinking that a calving ease bull can’t have power and growth. These are again some of the most exciting bulls we will offer. Their birth to yearling spread is remarkable and they have some of the best CED numbers I have seen anywhere on bulls. We again have a set of bulls out of Connealy Capitalist that will be as easy to look at in terms of mass and overall body dimension as any that you can find anywhere. We once again will offer many flush brothers and strong aged yearling bulls with gnomically enhanced EPD’s.

Our bulls are fed a high roughage ration consisting of 22% ground hay, 37% corn silage, 34% distillers, and 7%corn&mineral.

We feel the longevity in the bulls is extremely important and the feed program plays a big part in that. I invite you to look over the videos of all the bulls in the sale either on our website or at DV Auction. I feel this is the best way to give a honest and true representation of the bull.

I would like to once again thank Hans and his family for bringing us another tremendous set of Sim/Angus bulls. Year in and year out their cattle are some of the best found anywhere and I invite you to take a good hard look at those bulls, I’d put them up against anyone’s Sim influenced bulls!!!

Our sale will begin at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday March 13th and we will serve a complementary beef meal beginning at 11:00. If you should have any questions on any of the bulls please feel free to contact Hans or I. Our place is always open for visitors before the sale and we hope to see you the 13th.

Welcome to the 9th Annual 4M Angus/Burken Cattle Bull sale. First, I want to thank Brandon, Kami, and the girls for the opportunity to market our bulls with them. It has been a pleasure to showcase our genetics along side this great set of Angus cattle each year. I would also like to thank all the people behind the scenes that help out through the year to make this offering available.

We have continued in the direction of our breeding program over the years to produce problem-free, efficient beef cattle.

Whether this is more calving ease, carcass, growth, or maternal traits, our goal is to have balance to broaden your marketing potential.

I would also like to thank Mitch Ziebell, Scott Nielsen, and the guys with Darr Feedlot for developing the bulls. They do an exceptional job of developing the bulls for future longevity and are a pleasure to work with. We stand behind these bulls 100%, if there is ever any problems, feel free to contact me any time.

Driving the science of better breeding

There’s little room for error in the cattle business. Producers need the most advanced information to make smart selection decisions, and Angus Genetics Inc. (AGI) provides it through genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs).

GE-EPDs have become the industry standard for herd improvement, building on decades of science-backed genetic evaluation tools originated and maintained through the American Angus Association®, home to the largest and evergrowing single-breed beef cattle database.

EPDs that traditionally contained all pedigree, performance and progeny information now also include results from available genomic, or DNA, tests. Breeders who use genomic technology give buyers access to AGI-generated GE-EPDs that provide: Increased predictability and decreased risk for young and unproven animals due to enhanced accuracy of EPDs Better characterization of genetics for difficult-to-measure performance traits (such as carcass traits, maternal traits and feed efficiency) The ability to make more rapid progress for traits that are important to you, due to: · more accurate selection · easier identification of genetic outliers · the ability to propagate young animals with confidence earlier in their lives In fact, GE-EPDs on unproven animals have the same amount of accuracy as if they had recorded 8-20 calves, depending on the trait. That’s valuable insight, offered regularly through the breed’s weekly national cattle evaluation.

American Angus Association® Selection Tools

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).

Components for computing the cow $EN savings difference include lactation energy requirements and energy costs associated with differences in mature cow size.

Expected Progeny Difference (EPD), is the prediction of how future progeny of each animal are expected to perform relative to the progeny of other animals listed in the database. EPDs are expressed in units of measure for the trait, plus or minus. Interim EPDs may appear on young animals when their performance has yet to be incorporated into the American Angus Association National Cattle Evaluation (NCE) procedures. This EPD will be preceded by an “I”, and may or may not include the animal’s own performance record for a particular trait, depending on its availability, appropriate contemporary grouping, or data edits needed for NCE.

CARCASS The genetic evaluation produces a single set of EPDs for carcass weight, marbling score, Ribeye area and fat thickness. The units of measure are in carcass trait format and analyzed on an age-constant basis.

Accuracy (ACC), is the reliability that can be placed on the EPD. An accuracy of close to 1.0 indicates higher reliability. Accuracy is impacted by the number of progeny and ancestral records included in the analysis.

Carcass Weight EPD (CW), expressed in pounds is a predictor of the differences in hot carcass weight of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.

GROWTH Calving Ease Direct (CED), is expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births, with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in firstcalf heifers. It predicts the average difference in ease with which a sire’s calves will be born when he is bred to first-calf heifers.

Marbling EPD (Marb), expressed as a fraction of the difference in USDA marbling score of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.

Ribeye Area EPD (RE), expressed in square inches, is a predictor of the difference in ribeye area of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.

Birth Weight EPD (BW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit birth weight to his progeny compared to that of other sires.

Weaning Weight EPD (WW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit weaning growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires.

Fat Thickness EPD (Fat), 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.

Residual Average Daily Gain (RADG), feed efficiency expressed in pounds per day, is a predictor of a sire’s genetic ability for postweaning gain in future progeny compared to that of other sires, given a constant amount of feed consumed.

$VALUE INDEXES $Value indexes, are multi-trait selection indexes to assist beef producers by adding simplicity to genetic selection decisions. $Values are reported in dollars per head, where a higher value is more favorable. The $Value is an estimate of how future progeny of each sire are expected to perform, on average, compared to progeny of other sires in the database if the sires were randomly mated to cows and if calves were exposed to the same environment.

Yearling Weight EPD (YW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit yearling growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires.

Yearling Height EPD (YH), is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit yearling height, expressed in inches, compared to the that of other sires.

Scrotal Circumference EPD (SC), expressed in centimeters, is a predictor of the difference in transmitting ability for scrotal size compared to that of other sires.

Weaned Calf Value ($W), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for preweaning merit. $W includes both revenue and cost adjustments associated with differences in birth weight, weaning direct growth, maternal milk, and mature cow size.

Docility (DOC), is expressed as a difference in yearling cattle temperament, with a higher value indicating more favorable docility. It predicts the average difference of progeny from a sire in comparison with another sire’s calves.

Feedlot Value ($F), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for postweaning merit compared to progeny of other sires.

MATERNAL Heifer Pregnancy (HP), is a selection tool to increase the probability or chance of a sire’s daughters becoming pregnant as first–calf heifers during a normal breeding season. A higher EPD is the more favorable direction, and the EPD is reported in percentage units.

Grid Value ($G), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for carcass grid merit compared to progeny of other sires.

Quality Grade ($QG) represents the quality grade segment of the economic advantage found in $G. $QG is intended for the specialized user wanting to place more emphasis on improving quality grade. The carcass marbling (Marb) EPD, which is influenced by carcass marbling scores and ultrasound percent intramuscular fat (% IMF) measurements, contribute to $QG.

Calving Ease Maternal (CEM), is expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in first-calf daughters. It predicts the average ease with which a sire’s daughters will calve as first-calf heifers when compared to daughters of other sires.

Yield Grade ($YG) $YG represents the yield grade segment of the economic advantage found in $G. $YG is intended for the specialized user wanting to place more emphasis on red meat yield. It provides a multi-trait approach to encompass ribeye, fat thickness and weight into an economic value for red meat yield. $G combines both $QG and $YG, and may be the best carcass decision tool for focusing on quality and red meat yield simultaneously.

Maternal Milk EPD (Milk), is a predictor of a sire’s genetic merit for milk and mothering ability as expressed in his daughters compared to daughters of other sires. In other words, it is that part of a calf’s weaning weight attributed to milk and mothering ability.

Mature Weight EPD (MW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of the difference in mature weight of daughters of a sire compared to the daughters of other sires.

Beef Value ($B), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for postweaning and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires.

Mature Height EPD (MH), expressed in inches, is a predictor of the difference in mature height of a sire’s daughters compared to daughters of other sires.

H Chosen to be the lead off bull for this year’s sale is a tremendously complete son out of one of the top incoming producing dams in our herd.

This bull combines a modest birth weight with tremendous growth, large scrotal, and good carcass traits to rise to the top as one of our best.

His 50K data shows the growth and performance his offspring should possess. His now deceased dam’s progeny have topped many bull sales in the past and her daughters retained in the herd are going to follow in her footsteps. His dam was the choice of Galaxy Beef in last year’s sale for the flush of any female in the herd. This guy is as big and powerful as they come and I’d love to own every calf out of him--bull or female!

H He sires sound, big-ribbed progeny with tremendous style and base width.

H He is extremely unique in the exceptional performance and powerful phenotype he transmits for a +17 CED sire. His pedigree allows him to be mated to daughters of many popular Angus sires.

H You want calving ease, growth, carcass, and milk all in one package, here it is! This is one of the bulls in this year’s sale that is owned by my daughters, and may well be the best they have ever sold! A bull that is in the top 5% for CED, BW, WW, YW, CEM, Milk, CW, $W, $F, and $B are rare. Finding one for sale is even rarer! He truly is the do it all bull here. Whether you are feeding your cattle out and selling on the rail or selling at weaning, this bull is gonna make any operation money. He is a long bodied, high growth bull out of one of the biggest and most powerful cows to stand on our place.

H When we cataloged the bulls this year, we did so by sire groups. When you look at this bull and his phenotype and combine that with a BW and CED that is in the top 1% of the breed, he may be the best calving ease prospect we have ever offered. These Element sons were the top selling sire group in last year’s sale and if you are looking for breed leading calving ease to go along with tremendous growth, than look at these 18 sons we have to offer. Nowhere else will you find bulls with that much muscle shape in a low birth weight package; and they are as docile as any we have ever raised!

H Had this bull not gotten hurt after weaning and fallen behind a little, he would most likely have a page to himself. We go on and on about the calving ease and growth in the Element cattle, but this guy takes those expectations to a whole different level. LOOK at the CED...+20, BW...-4.7, WW...74! Ratioed 129 at weaning in the largest contemporary group on the farm. It is unheard of to have a bull with so much calving ease and still be in the top 1% of the breed for WW and $F. A tremendous herd sire prospect that goes back to one of the highest growth females the Angus breed has every seen. His 50K only solidifies what his EPD’s say, this bull is a good one!

H Here is the maternal brother to last year’s top selling bull at $35,000 going to Peak Dot Ranches and now leased to Semex. Without a doubt this bull has power and performance built in. Look at his 50K and the fact he ratioed 113@WW and 109@YW in the largest contemporary group we had, and if you sell your calves by the pound this bull is a must to look at. I could go on and on about his dam and the 4301 cow family and there could be pages and pages with all the bulls in studs all over the U.S. from this family. His 1432 lb yearling weight and 50K data should only legitimize this bull’s worth to anyone wanting to add pounds to a calf crop!! Truly a sale feature!

H This bull is out of a show heifer we sold to Kayce Allen a couple years ago. I was very impressed with how he turned out and bought part of him back. This is a very gentle, March bull that has really done well since I got him.

H This Upshot son is a larger framed, free moving bull. Sure to sire some extra punch to his calves and out of a beautiful Laredo daughter.

Negative BW, high marbling and API bull.

Quick Reference 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 wellconceived, 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. For percentile rankings or more detailed information about EPDs and $ indexes visit www.simmental.org.
