2018 A.I. SIRE DIRECTORY

Your Source for the BEST in Simmental and SimAngus Genetics!

It is proven, and we firmly agree, that turning generations is vital to making rapid and predictable genetic progress. Think about it, where would the grain, pork and poultry industries be if not they would have utilized aggressive genetic planning, cross breeding and continually selected the best from among the best, of their respective gene pools?

Today the Simmental breed in the best place it has ever been! The benefit of heterosis is positively impacting the cattle industry, virtually on a world-wide scale. The key to making an even larger statement within the business lies within the ability to find and utilize the very best, new-generation sires.

At APEX, we have researched extensively and secured the best and most predictable young sires of the breed. Throughout this directory are bulls of various genetic diversities that will leave a lasting impact for generations to come. Most individuals rank in the very top percentile of the Simmental breeds huge and credible EPD database.

We demand good numbers, soundness, structure, good dispositions and strong phenotypic expression in our program. Only sires utilized are those that would soundly move us and our valued customers forward.

We encourage you to thoroughly study this directory as the future of your breeding program depends on it.

For questions on any bulls, or to place an order on any individual or combination of bulls, please feel free call me directly at 308-750-0200, day or evening any day but Sunday.

PERFORMANCE The $52,500 ‘Bred for Balance’ Record Seller, destined to widely impact programs, throughout the breed!

ACT BW 80 Now with PROVEN Calving Ease documentation in multiple herds, we can confidently state that “he has jumped through all the hoops” we had anticipated.

ADJ WW 734 Top 1% CE, BW, SHR, $API and $TI EPDS with exceptional individual data…he offers herd building genetics at their best!

ADJ YW 1342 Maternally, we anticipate his daughters to be awesome! His two-year-old dam, stems from an illustrious cow family with DISP EXCELLENT impeccable udders and hooves.

Phenotypically, few bulls can compare with his structural integrity, eye appeal, natural thickness and good feet!

His first calves are proving him as a ‘masterpiece’ breeding bull. Their quality, eye appeal, body mass and early growth is most impressive. We will again breed nearly 100 heifers to him in 2018, plus use him heavily in our cowherd.

NOTE, we have reduced his semen price in 2018 from $150 per unit to only $30, so now everyone can affordably benefit from his use.

CCR MS APPLE 9332W

PERFORMANCE The $38,500 feature of the 2016 Cow Camp Ranch sale, from the famed Apple donor, a legendary herd sire ACT BW 89 (ET) producing matriarch.

ADJ WW 818 Phenotypically, he is a truck with a wealth of body, thickness and power! Super athletic, proud, great feet and ADJ YW 1545 legs and destined to be used in many progressive programs.

His first progeny calved in 2017 came without any assistance, and grew with total amazement. The heaviest bull DISP EXCELLENT we have ever weaned in 40+ years, with the record-high yearling weight, was a son from an Angus cow.

Producers will be most impressed with the edge on performance and added body mass that he puts into his progeny. Sons are super stout, and daughters and volumous, broody and easy fleshing…and all with excellent feet and legs.

Use him to improve performance, body dimension, dispositions and structural soundness.

Masterlink will add to bottom-line profitability while building better cowherds with his captious daughters.

10 EPD traits in the top 10%, these are valuable numbers you can trust!

An extraordinary, most impressive individual that is now proven as a super solid breeding bull with EXCELLENT Calving Ease and strong progeny demand.

Phenotypically, he is admired by absolutely everyone who has seen him. Perfect structured, extra attractive fronted, long sided, thick made, and he moves with freedom.

His dam is a sensational producer, and a paternal sister to the famed Charlo, Angus sire, with a 111 average WW progeny ratio (four calves). Gold Strike set the $26,000 sale record at Berger’s and the year prior, a maternal brother also topped their sale.

His sire, Trinity has spearheaded the Leachman Stabilizer program, and we consider Gold Strike as his favorite son.

We highly recommend his use on first calf heifers. His calves come easy, grow excellent and are very marketable. Our top selling bull this spring was a son from a two-year-old heifer!

Use him to improve phenotype, eye appeal, structure and benefit from his easy births, highly saleable progeny and beautiful daughters.

Top-Selling bull of 2016 T-Heart Ranch Sale, and an individual that drew praise from many at ringside.

His beautiful dam is a paternal sister to Cowboy Cut and a front pasture, phenotypically strong THR matron.

Appreciate Testament’s eye-appeal and impressive performance and carcass EPD strength, ranking him in the breeds most elite.

In his first two calf crops, we have not assisted any births. Calf weights are consistently good, and their quality is exceptional.

Last year, his semen sales were paced by 200 units selling into a Leachman of Colorado cooperator herd.

The progressive stockmen demanding calving ease with extra performance, more maternal dependability and better carcass genetics will appreciate his genetic value.

Add him to your short list of AI sires for 2018, and you will be glad!

The premier son of the legendary United sire who outpaces his sire with BETTER EPD VALUES for WW, YW, MWW, Stay, Doc, CW, REA, API and TI. Top 1 % WW, YW and ADG! He was the #1 performance bull of the 2016 Werning Cattle Co sale, and his progeny are without question, pacesetters with their added growth genetics.

Birth weights and calving ease, in his first two calf crops, has been consistently good with zero assists recorded in our program.

Use him to add scale crushing performance and eye appealing quality that you seldom see in tandem with a true performance sire.

Watch for ‘big things’ from this great sire in the APEX and Werning program’s future. Every great sire is followed by a better son, and Holy Smoke is the destined one!

A maternal brother to Executive Order, Bullseye, Bankroll and Relentless, all former top sellers at Werning’s.

An incredible individual in both genetics and phenotype. His extra power and soundness makes him a solid genetic choice to be bred to lots of females.

The #1 REA PB bull in the 2015 Werning record sale. His dam has produced well over $3 million in progeny sales, and many consider Grandstand to be her finest son.

Whether producing powerful, sale-topping bulls, or picturesque, broody females, he is the one to use in 2018!

For extra body, corretness and eye appeal, he is an easy choice and highly recommended!

His picturesque daughters are making top young females, and they have excellent udders.

Repeat semen sales on Grandstand are good! Those that have used him know his true ‘breeding bull’ worthiness.

Semen is very limited as he is now deceased!

CALVING EASE assurance at its best! Definitely, a ‘GO TO’ sire for heifers!!!

His 63 lbs. actual BW and 121 BW ratio, plus top 1% CE, BW, MARB and API credentials insure his predictability.

Phenotypically, he is ‘something special’ with pleasing eye appeal, a big top, excellent thickness, extra volume, moderate framed and super sound feet and legs.

If we were into showing, it would take a really good one to beat him on the tanbark.

His dam is an extraordinary matriarch sired by the top 1% BW and TI sire, BAR CK Tebow 1006X. Synchronize a bunch of heifers to him and know next calving season that you can sleep all night!

2018 APEX CATTLE A.I. SIRE DIRECTORY

The APEX Program…one of Solid Commitment!

With decades of experience in every phase of the cattle business, it is safe to say that we are in tune with the industry. Over the years, we have seen a multitude of changes, and most for the good. This timeline and experience have brought us to a period now driven by technology, efficiency and bottom-line profitability.

In saying that, we must be able to objectively recognize where we are, and where we are headed as producers.

Our program is built around durable females with fertility, milking ability, good dispositions and longevity.

We maintain our cows and replacements just like our neighbor’s commercial herds with modest feed and labor requirements.

We recognize and appreciate cow families and how the good ones can impact a program. The best ‘new generation’ heifers are retained, this year nearly 125, and we expect them to produce right with their mothers and grand dams the first year, and better than them as they mature. The key to all of them, is getting them mated to the right sires!

Generation turnover is important, and it must be done to make a positive impact. Whether females or the sires they are mated to, there is no time for making the misguided, trendy or hasty breeding decisions. Our philosophy is to breed cattle with a firm commitment and goal.

Every bull in this directory was selected to advance both our program, and our customer’s genetic profiles. They represent extraordinary breed leadership, top percentile EPD credentials with both phenotypic and structural integrity.

We are both thankful, and proud to be able to share these great sires with those who desire to achieve solid genetic progress. Many of the Simmental and SimAngus future sales, prolific donors, competitive show heifers and strong cow herds will be greatly impacted from the use of these bulls. And, if you want to add value to a set of bred heifers, look no further!
