18th Annual Production Sale

The Brand for INTEGRITY - PERFORMANCE - EXCELLENCE Welcome to our eighteenth annual Gold Bullion Bull Production Sale! Just as in the past the sale will be held at the Kansas Bull Development on Onaga Road northeast of Wamego, KS on Sunday March 1st, 2020.

Since its beginning in 2002, the Gold Bullion group has always operated with the goal of providing elite Simmental Genetics to both commercial and fellow purebred breeders through artificial insemination and embryo transfer. Although some of the members have changed over the years, the same attention to detail and pursuit of perfection continues on. Our goal as a group is not only to provide breed leading Simmental genetics, but also to build a relationship and partnership with our customers. We take pride in trying to be more than just a face on sale day, but instead be a resource for your livestock operation throughout the year(s).

Our yearling bulls are developed on a mixed ration with a target of 3.5/lb/d gain. We also offer a set of 18 month Fall Yearling bulls that you will find in lots 11-16, 26-28 and 56-60. These fall bulls are developed on grass with minimum supplement through the summer months resulting is lighter yearling weights.

All bulls will sell with a breeding soundness exam, have tested negative for PI-BVD, and were vaccinated for Lepto-Vibrio. All Sim-Angus bulls are non-carries of Arthrogryposis (Curly Calf Syndrome) and are non-carries of Neuropathis Hydrocephalus (by pedigree or DNA test). Ultrasound data for carcass traits are also included in the catalog as well. Please note that some EPDs may have changed slightly due to weekly BOLT updates. EPDs in the catalog are up to date as of 1/20/2020.

This is a video auction and the bulls will not enter the ring to sell, so please take the time to evaluate them ahead of time. If unable to attend sale day bulls will be on display the day before the sale or anytime at the KBD by appointment, as we always enjoy visiting one on one. Bulls are cataloged in sale order and are grouped by sires and/ or similar pedigrees for your convenience.

We encourage you to visit our website for more information about each individual breeder and for videos of the bulls at www.goldbulliongroup.com.

Thank you to all our returning customers for your loyalty and trust in our breeding programs! For potential new customers, thank you for taking the time to review our offering and for your interest in the Gold Bullion Bull Sale and we look forward to seeing you the first Sunday in March!

Sale Terms and Conditions

All animals sell under the terms and conditions set forth by their representative breed association.

Health/Management

All bulls have received IBR, BVD, P13, BRSV, 7-way blackleg; and at least two rounds of Ivermectin or Dectomax (for internal and external parasites). In addition, the bulls were vaccinated with Spirovac VL5 (new Lepto-Hardjo + four other strains). All bulls were tested for brucellosis, and all bulls tested negative for PI/BVD. The fall bulls will have lower growth and carcass numbers as they were produced on grass until July and then brought along slowly.

Bulls/Fertility Guarantee

All bulls were fertility tested by Mark Spare DVM, Manhattan, Kansas, and sell as guaranteed sound breeders for 4 breeding seasons. This guarantee does not include loss due to abuse, neglect, illness and/or acts of God (lightning, ood, etc.). We recommend retesting of bulls before pasture turn out. We also strongly recommend death insurance.

Please refer to our Four Season Breeding Guarantee on page 4. Contact any Gold Bullion member with questions.

Semen Interest

Each owner is retaining1/3 semen interest in all bulls unless otherwise announced. For most commercial programs, this will not interfere with the natural service use of the bull. It means that the breeder may want to arrange with the buyer to collect semen on a bull. Or, in the case that the bull proves to be a superior sire, and the buyer and/or breeder market semen on a bull, the breeder would share in 1/3 of the proďŹ t and get semen at cost.

On Line Phone Bids

Catalog Preparation

Catalog prepared by: Peverley Productions Pictures by: Melissa Schaake 1

The Value of Performance

Simmental and SimAngus bulls can easily add 30-50 lbs. to weaning weights in British based cowherds, and their progeny will perform well in the feed yard and on the rail if you retain ownership until harvest. In addition, females from Simmental and SimAngus sired calves would make great replacements, especially when the females are Simmental x British crosses.

Using current calf prices, a bull that sires an average of 25 calves per year for 4 years and adds 30 lbs. average weaning weight per calf at $150/100 lbs. would be worth at least $4,500 more than the price of a bull that adds no additional weight at weaning. You can do the math if they add more weaning weight than 30 lbs. and sell for a higher price than this example.

For producers who keep replacement females and retain ownership through the feedlot of all steers and heifers not kept for replacements, the ASA All Purpose Index (API) does a great job of identifying potential value differences among bulls. For example, a bull with an API of 130 would be worth $30 more per calf than a sire with an API of 100. Using these two example API values, if a bull produces 30 calves per year for 4 years, the value difference between these two bulls is $3,600!

Benefits of Crossbreeding

Capitalizing on ’heterosis’ by crossbreeding is a very valuable tool in beef cattle production. Probably the most significant and long term study of heterosis was conducted by the USDA Agricultural Research Service in Nebraska. That study showed that 80 crossbred cows producing crossbred calves are as economical in life cycle production as 100 straight bred cows raising straight bred calves! This 20% bonus in efficiency starts with the increased fertility of crossbred cows, which is followed by increased vigor and hardiness of the newborn calves.

Crossbred cows producing crossbred calves wean a higher percentage of calf crop and the calves are heavier. This carries over to increased performance of the calves in the feedlot.

Crossbred calves also usually sell for higher prices. In addition to all of these advantages, longevity of crossbred cows is also increased, which means that more heifers can be sold or finished in a feedlot rather than kept for replacements.

Using Gold Bullion Simmental and SimAngus bulls on Angus based cows or other British breeds to create Simmental crossbred feeder calves and replacements is a great way to capitalize on heterosis. SimAngus (Angus or Red Angus) crossbred calves and replacement females are second to none as either feeder calves or replacement females! Research at the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center shows that Simmental and Angus breeds rank first or second among Continental and British breeds, respectively, in nearly all traits studied.

Using SimAngus bulls (1/2 or 3/4) on SimAngus females capitalizes on approximately 85% of the heterosis obtained from a threebreed rotational crossbreeding program. This is also a very convenient system because a producer does not have to have different pastures for different breeds of bulls. This system also stabilizes a herd at approximately 50% Continental x 50% British breeding.

In addition, SimAngus bulls have an advantage in longevity.

Ultrasound Measurements Explained

Ribeye Area - measure at the 12th-13th rib and reported in square inches. REA is an important component of the USDA yield grade determinations of beef carcasses. Larger ribeyes result in more desirable yield grade numbers and a higher percent of the carcass as trimmed retail product. Yearling bulls should have at least 1.1 square inchest/100 lb. of live weight, and larger ribeye areas are generally more desirable. However, extremely large ribeyes (> 1.3 square inches/100 lb. of live weight) are not necessarily desirable. %Intramuscular Fat - percentage of Intramuscular Fat, (%IMF) measured in a longitudinal scan of the ribeye muscle from the 11th to the 13th rib. It is a measure of marbling, which is the primary factor that determines USDA quality grade of carcasses. %IMF values for yearling Simmental bulls generally fall in the range of 2.0 to 4.5%.

Yield Grade - EPDS for Yield Grade are calculated from ultrasound measurements. YG is the USDA grading system for determining % meat yield differences among carcasses. USDA yield grades are numbered 1-5, with 1 representing a very muscular, trim carcass with a high % meat yield; and a 5 representing a very fat, light-muscled carcass with a low % meat yield. Yield grades can be calculated to the nearest 10th, such as 2.5, 3.9, etc. The average range for Simmental sired progeny would be about 2.2-2.8.

EPDs - values above or below breed average CE

BW WW YW MCE MM MW CW YG MB BF REA API TI

Calving Ease - % unassisted births from two-year old heifers. Example: For a CE EPD of 15, one would expect 10% more unassisted births than for a bull with an EPD of 5.

Birth Weight - pounds of birth weight Weaning Weight - pounds of weaning weight due to growth.

Yearling Weight - pounds of yearling weight due to growth.

Maternal CE - % unassisted births from calving daughters.

Maternal Milk - pounds of weaning weight due to dam’s milk.

Maternal WW - pounds of weaning weight due to dam’s milk and growth.

Carcass Weight - pounds of carcass weight.

Yield Grade - tenths of a yield grade.

Marbling - percent of marbling score or %IMF Back Fat or Rib Fat - inches of carcass back fat thickness.

Ribeye Area - square inches of ribeye All Purpose Index - $ per cow exposed under an all-purpose-sire scenario.

Terminal Index - $ per cow exposed under a terminal-sire scenario.

Some EPDs may have changed due to BOLT weekly updates. EPDs in the catalog are were as of 1/28/19.

This will be a video auction only, no bulls will be in the ring”

Ultrasound Measurements Explained

Fat Thickness - measured at the 12th-13th rib and reported in inches. Most of the fat thickness measurements on these bulls are in a very desirable range; which means they have some fat cover, but are not fat.

Lot 19 We started using Simmental influenced bulls from the Gold Bullion Group in 2010. Since then we have seen an increase in weaning weights as well as a major improvement in average daily gain when those calves are placed on feed. This has allowed us to sell our calves 30 days sooner, making us more efficent. Another key to this is that we are very strict on sticking to a 60 day calving interval and the bulls we have purchased have allowed us to achieve this due to their great durability and semen production. The biggest benefit may be the daughters we have retained as they are starting to enter their prime years of production and they rival their AI contemporaries. We use Gold Bullion sires for all the reasons above but maybe most importantly we like the amount of thought and detail that go into each mating, its more than just “matching numbers on paper.”

Owned by: Schaake Farms Inc. A pair of flush mates that were designed with a couple thoughts in mind: 1. produce a maternal sire that will generate breed leading females 2. produce a bull that can improve weaning weights, red meat yield and fleshing ability. The results of this mating suggest that our mission was accomplished. Throw into the mix that these brothers descend from one of our great cow families and the opportunity to invest in this pair becomes a logical choice.

Owned by: Schaake Farms Inc. We love what ACCL Fortune has done for our program. He adds growth without additional birth weight and his daughters are becoming great young cows. Combine the power of Fortune with the strong maternal genetics on the bottom side of this pedigree should make this bull popular on sale day. His extra eye appeal and correctness of feet and legs is no accident. It’s exactly what we expected when we made this mating.

We have been using Gold Bullion bulls for the past 5 years. We love them for 3 reasons: 1. As I get older, disposition becomes more and more important. I’m all about safety for my family, employees, and myself. Bulls can be cantankerous, unpredictable, and dangerous. The Gold Bullion bulls are the calmest, tamest bulls we have. They don’t fight. You can sort out 5 of them and load them in a trailer with ease.

2. Heterosis. When cattle feeders started feeding calves to a finished weight of over 1500#, we had to put more growth and muscle into our straight angus herd. The Gold Bullion bulls add ribeye, improve our yield grades, and the cattle grow faster than anything we’ve had before.

3. We love the quarter and half blood heifer calves for replacements. In most cases, they are bigger bellied and easier fleshing than the angus we have. Additionally they are just so sweet to handle. They are calm, cool, and collected. They don’t get upset and excited when handled or trying to calve. Their docile manner makes our work much easier. Our set of replacements this year are the prettiest heifers we’ve raised.

Owned by: Mid-Am Genetics We purchased this young Bottomline cow a few years ago from Walrod Cattle Company with the intent of her be a focal point of our fall herd. However, last year with an expanding family and full-time careers we made the difďŹ cult decision disperse our fall herd and E9 is one of the last remaining pieces. Her deep rib, sound structure and overall soft makeup are what attracted us to her as a brood cow. She has already produced an exciting 20-20 daughter and I am really excited about the mating she is carrying to Fully Loaded. The work is done here, she is ready to go make money!

The Gold Bullion Consignors

My family homesteaded in this area in 1854 (The Kansas Flint Hills) and each generation has continued to live in the area. Brooks Simmental was started in 1986 with 2 black Simmental cows. I enjoy a small amount of showing and helping my granddaughter (Cassidy) show in 4-H, KJSA and the St Fair. I produce sound functional cattle with a good disposition. I work by myself and can’t have cattle with bad attitudes. I strive for moderate framed and easy calving cattle but not giving up growth. Carcass quality is important as producing commercial bulls is my primary goal. All of this is produced thru AI and an extensive ET program. You will see the cow, Miss Kansas K 11G throughout my pedigrees. She is the # 2 cow in the Simmental breed for the number of calves produced, currently approaching 250 with a life time production of over $1,000,000.

Ralph Brooks & Cassidy Swicegood

The Schaake’s have been breeding Simmental cattle since 1974, after an introduction to the breed when Scott showed the Grand Champion steer (Simmental x Hereford) at the county fair. Artificially breeding our black cows to Simmental bulls gave us our start in black-factored Simmental genetics in 1975. In fact, many of our leading cow families trace back to “Chipper N726”, who defied the word “longevity”. She remained a productive donor cow to the age of 20 years old. Currently our program utilizes artificial insemination and embryo transfer. Selection pressure for calving ease, maternal influence, moderate growth, disposition and a manageable mature size has been stressed for several generations. Attention to structural correctness, fleshing Kandi, Scott, Shilo, Shane & Melissa Schaake 25 ability and marketing appeal has been a priority since day one.

The Marple’s have been involved with Simmental cattle for the better part of 40 years.

Troy grew up in a Simmental family which is still operating in S.E. Kansas today. Nicole has been the secretary for K.S.A. for several years. Logan & Laney are actively involved in K.J.S.A. Marple Farms was established in 2006 and has grown steadily ever since.

We utilize a program that consists of 100% AI & embryo transfer. Our breeding program is based on some basic fundamentals. We always select for Calving Ease, Growth, Maternal and Carcass Traits. We won’t sacrifice one for another and we refuse to chase the extremes. We are always going to place selection pressure on disposition, structural integrity and phenotype.

Troy, Nicole, Logan and Laney Mar�le

Mid-Am Genetics was started in 2008 with the purchase of 2 Simmental and 2 Angus heifers. Founded by Ryan and Kayla Bodenhausen near Muscotah, KS, our herd now consists of around 60 Registered and Commercial Simmental and SimAngus cows.

Ryan and Kayla both grew up raising and showing livestock and remain actively involve in the livestock industry on a daily basis as Ryan is employed by Southeast Select Sires and Kayla is an Ag Instructor at USD 377. Our breeding philosophy revolves around 3 major principles, Production, Performance, and Phenotype. We strive to raise cattle that are versatile and can thrive in all operations with those three principles in mind. We are a self-sufficient operation, so cattle are culled/selected for disposition and longevity as well.

Gold Bullion Production Sale

The Gold Bullion Consignors Parsons Livestock started building a Simmental program in 2004 when Garrett purchased his first purebred cow while in graduate school. Garrett, Marka and Pate have utilized an extensive embryo transfer and artificial insemination protocol designed around a few extraordinary females to grow the cow herd. Our focus has been on producing phenotypically and genetically superior cattle that display structural excellence, functionality, while optimizing the important production traits of calving ease, growth, carcass merit, and fleshing ability. A strong emphasis is always placed on disposition; only easy to handle cattle will be retained and marketed.

Zach, Susie, Emma & Miles McCracken

Gar�ett, Marka and Pate Parsons

McCracken Livestock has been running Simmental cattle in northeast Kansas for more than 20 years. In 2009, Zach and Susie began sharpening the focus of the program, centered around producing registered, performance-oriented seedstock cattle. Since that time, we’ve taken advantage of extensive AI, ET, and IVF protocols to determine what works best to meet our goals of soundness and functionality. Our cattle have to be able to cover ground, raise solid progeny, and pay for themselves. Years of evaluating cattle have taught us to hold true to the fundamentals of sound structure before anything else. Our guiding principle is to only offer what we ourselves would retain, ensuring the best quality for our customers. We strive to build relationships and follow the journey of our cattle once they’ve left the farm, so that each year we can mindfully plan matings that will continue to be successful.
