◊ Connealy Capitalist O28 truly is one of the breed’s great “Cow Maker” sires available today and has been one of the most popular and heaviest used bulls in the Select Sires lineup! ◊ Few proven sires consistently transmit as much extra rib and body capacity with overall mass and added muscle shape as does Capitalist. ◊ His daughters are fantastic young females in production and many of his sons are working in the breed’s leading performance programs due to the fact they can offer strong maternal values with calving ease and will not sacrifice pounds and performance. ◊ The opportunity to create maternal siblings to this breed leader sells as Lot 1.

FROM THE DAM OF CAPITALIST

◊ Terms of Flush: The purchaser of this flush will be guaranteed six transferable embryos and the purchaser may take any additional embryos up to ten at the prorated cost of the first six embryos. ◊ A rare opportunity to flush the dam of Connealy Capitalist O28 to the bull of your choice. ◊ Prides Pita of Conanga 8821 has proven herself to be one of the influential females of the breed through her great son, Connealy Capitalist 028, and has earned a progeny record in the Connealy Angus Ranch program of WR 2@107, YR 2@104, %IMF 2@110, and UREA 2@100 and in addition, the maternal grandam of Capitalist also excels in her progeny record with WR 13@101, YR 11@102, and %IMF 10@109 and she in turn is backed by two consecutive generations of proven Connealy Pathfinder Dams.

What is a Superior Settler?

For better than 30 years, Select Sires high conception dairy sires have been recognized by the time-tested, industry-standard “Superior Settler” designation. Select Sires is proud to introduce the Superior Settler designation in our beef lineup for 2015. As the industry leader in research and providing objective decision-making tools for customers, Select Sires uses a multi-tiered approach to identify our best conception sires; high fertility is only one component of what goes into assigning the Superior Settler designation.

The Fertility Estimate Component Select Sires has three independent in-house systems that are used to collect fertility data on beef sires. Relative Breed Efficiency (RBE) uses data from over 2,500 dairy herds used Dr. Matt Utt in our dairy progeny test programs. The Jersey Sire-RBE system uses data from numerous Director of Research, extremely large dairy herds (3,000 to 10,000 cows each) that are not on the progeny test Select Sires, Inc. program. In addition, Select Sires collects data from our beef cooperator herds and beef specialists who coordinate tens of thousands of synchronized timed AI breedings each year. All of the systems above use similar models to adjust for effects of environment (herd, month, year) and fertility of the female being inseminated (parity, service number, milk production, etc.). All data from all sources are then strategically combined into a single Composite Fertility Index (CFI) to take advantage of the power in numbers of services for improved accuracy.

The Semen Quality Component At Select Sires each collection of every bull is subjected to extensive analysis of numerous semen quality traits using state of the art equipment, techniques, and procedures. No semen makes it to inventory that is not capable of achieving normal and acceptable level fertility. However, some bulls more consistently produce semen of average to above average quality than do others.

Superior Settlers tie it all together Many times bulls have outstanding semen quality characteristics but just average fertility. On occasion bulls with excellent semen quality may have fertility deviations that are well below average. Other times bulls with below average semen quality characteristics can achieve well above average fertility.

Superior Settler designations are designed to remove luck, random chance, and confusion from the process of selecting sires for fertility potential and stack the odds in your favor to achieve the greatest conception rates possible. Superior Settlers not only have outstanding semen quality characteristics but also have documented superior fertility from use in the field.

Keep sire fertility in perspective Although sire selection for fertility potential will help stack the odds in your favor to generate few extra pregnancies from a given number of inseminations, it is important for producers to remember that in the big picture, the impact of sire fertility on overall herd conception rates is trivial compared to environmental and herd management factors affecting female fertility. Sire selection for fertility is a supplement (not a substitute) to an effective reproductive management program.
