WELCOME

Welcome to our Spring 2024 private treaty offering. The cattle market continues to be strong and with that in mind, bull sales have been HOT. This set of bulls has superior docility, excellent performance, and will go out and work in any environment.

We have a short offering this year as we ran long on females, and we only kept the top end as bulls. People say this each year, but this is the deepest group we have offered.

We strive to have cows that have good udders, milk well, have structural integrity, and do their job of raising calves. Our ground is very hard and rocky; therefore, the cows must have good feet and legs. Our cowherd is very adaptable; as our climate can make us have feast or famine years, or both in the same year.

Buy with confidence, as Sidwell Herefords has been around for 116 years. We must be doing something right.

You may select your bulls at any time, and they will have passed a breeding soundness exam prior to delivery or pick-up. If for some reason a bull does not pass the BSE, we will work with you to pick an alternate bull.

SALE TERMS & LIABILITY

All sales are cash and must be paid in full unless arrangements are made prior to pick-up or delivery. Bulls become the purchasers’ property as soon as they are sold, but the seller must see that animals are properly cared for until needed. Any death or injury after the animal is sold is at the buyer’s risk. All persons who visit the ranch do so at their own risk. Neither Sidwell Herefords or anyone connected to this ranch assumes any liability, legal or otherwise, for accidents, illness, or loss of property that may occur.

GUARANTEE

All bulls sold are guaranteed to be sound and healthy breeders at the start of their first breeding season. If an injury or problem is to occur within the first 90 days of breeding, the buyer will receive a credit minus salvage value towards a replacement bull of equal value. All injuries must be diagnosed by a licensed veterinarian and reported to Sidwell Herefords as soon as injury occurs.

HERD HEALTH

All bulls are in excellent health and developed on a high energy high roughage ration. Vaccination protocol has been consists of CD&T at birth; Vision 7 and Cattle Master Gold at branding; 3 weeks prior to weaning Vision 7, Cattle Master Gold, and Enforce, and at weaning Cattle Master Gold and back poured with Cylence. Bulls will be semen tested by a license veterinarian at Country Side Large Animal Veterinary Clinic, Greeley, Colorado.

WINTERING & DELIVERY

Bulls will be wintered free of charge until May 15. After that date, there will be a $4/day/bull charge until the pick-up or delivery, unless other buyer/seller arrangements are made.

EPDS

EPDs listed in this catalog are current as of February 5, 2024. All bulls have been genomically tested, not all results are back as of catalog print time. Those with results have the GE EPD logo next to their information. For the most up-to-date data, feel free to call one of us or visit the American Hereford Association website.

Thank you to our crew

Understanding Hereford EPDs

The American Hereford Association (AH A) currently producesexpected progeny differences (EPDs) for 17 traits and calculates three profit indexes.

A HA's genetic evaluation makes use of a Marker Effects Model that allows the calculation of EPDs by incorporating the pedigree, phenotypic and genomic profile of an animal. Animals that have a genomic profile will be denoted with a GE-EPD logo.

The current suite of Hereford EPDs and profit indexes includes:

Cah,ng Ease - Dire<t (CE)

CE EPD is based on calving ease scores and birth weights and is measured on a percentage. CE EPD indicatesthe influence of the sire on calving e a se in females calving at 2 yearsofage. For e.xample, ifsire A has a CE EPD of6andsire B has a CE EPD of -2, then you would e.xpecton average, if comparably mated, sire A's calves would have an 8 percent more likely chance of unassisted calving when compared to sire B's calves.

Birth Weight (BW)

BW EPD is an indicator trait for calving ease and is measured in pounds. For e.xample, if sire A has a BW EPD ofH and sire B has a BW EPD of0.6, then you would ex peel on average, ifcomparablymated, sire A's calves would come 3 lb. heavier at birth when compared tosire B's calves. Larger BW EPDs usually, but not always, indicate more calving difficuky. The figure in parentheses found after each EPD is all accuracy value or reliability of the EPD.

Weaning Weight (WW)

WW EPD is an estimate of pre-weaning growth that is measured in pound For e.xample, if sire A has a WW EPD of60and sire B has a WW EPD of 40, then you would e.xpect on average ifcomparably mated, sire A's calves would weigh 20 lb. heavier a t weaning when compared to sire B'scalves.

YearlingWeight (YW)

YW EPD is an estimate of post-weaning growth that is measured in pounds.For example, if sire A has a YW EPD of l00 and sireBhasa YW EPDof70, then you would apecton average ifcomparably mated, sire A'scalves would weigh 30 lb. heavier at a year of age when compared to sire B's calves.

Dry Motter Intak, (DMJ)

The OM! EPD predicts the daily consumption of pounds offeed. For example, if sire A has aDMI EPD of l.l and sire B has a OM! EPD of0.l, you would eJ<pect sire B's progeny, ifcomparably mated, to consume on average I pound of feed less per day.

Scrotal Circumference (SC)

Measured in centimeters and adjusted to 365 d a y sof age.SC EPD isthe best estimate offertility lt is related to the bull's own semen quantity and quality, and is also associated with age at puberty of sons and daughters. Larger SC EPDs suggest younger age al puberty. Yearling sons of asire with a 0.7SC EPD should have yeadingscrotal circumference measurements that average 0.7 centimeters (cm) larger than progeny by a bull 1vithan EPDof0.0cm.

Sustain ed Cow Fertility

The AHA' newSCFEPD isa prediction ofa cow's ability to continue to calve from th ree years of age through 12yearsof age, given she calved as a two-year-ol:I. The EPD is expressed asadeviation in the proportion of the lO possiblecalvings to l2 years old expressed as a probability. Forexample, the daughters of a b ull with a 30 EPD would have the ge,ietic potential to have one more calf by age 12than the daughters from a bull wah a 20 EPD. In other words, the daughters from the 30 EPD bull wou Id have a 10% greater probability of having one more calf than the bulI with a 20 EPD. This isequivalentto saying that the daughters are 1 0 %more I ikely to remain in the herd to age 12.

MaternalMilk(MM)

The MM EPDofasire'sdaughtersis expressed in poundsofcalf weaned. It predicts the difference in average w<'Ming weights ofsires' daughters' progeny due to milking ability. Daughters of the sire with a +14 NIM EPD should produce progeny with 205-day weights averaging 24 lb. more (as a result of greater milk production) than daughters of a bul I with a MM EPD of -1 0 lb. (14 mi nus -LO.0 = 24 lb.). Th is difference in weaning weight is due to total milk production during the entire lactation.

Maternal Milk & Growth (M&G)

The M&G EPD reflects what the sire is expected to transmitto his daughters fora combination of growth genetics through weaning and genetics for milking ability. It isan estimate of the daughter's progeny weaning weight. A bull with a 29 lb. M&G EPDshould sire daughters with progeny weaning weights averaging 1 9 lb. heavier than progeny ofa bull'sdaughters with a M&G EPD of IO lb. (29 minus IO= 1 9 lb.) It isequal to one -half the sire's weaning weight EPD, plus all ofhi, MM EPD. No accuracy isassociated with this sinceis mplya mathematical combination of two other EPDs It is sometimes relerred to as "total materna.J" or'"combined matcrna.J."

Maternal Calving Ease (MCE)

MCE EPD predicts how easily asire's daughters will calve at two years of age a,id is measured on a percenta ge For example, if sire A has a MCE EPD of7 and sire B bas a CE EPDof-3, then you would expect on average ifcomparably mated, sire A's daughters would calve with a 10% more likely chance of being unassisted when compared to sire B's daughters.

Mature Cow Weight (MCW)

The MCW EPD was designed to help breeders select sires that will either increase or decrease mature siu ofcows in the herd.

The trait was developed after years ofcow weight data collection and the EPD relates directly to the maintenance requirements of a cow herd For example, if sire A has a MCW EPD of 1 00 and sire B has an EPD o f 85, then you would expectthe females of sire A, ifcomparably mated , to be 15 lb. heavier at mature size.

Udder suspension (UDDR)

UDDR EPDs are reported on a 9 (very tight) to I (very pendulous) scoringscale. Differences in sire EPDspredict the difference expected in the sires' daughters' udder characteristics when managed in the .same environment.

For example, if sire A h asa UDDR EPD of 0.4,andsire B has a UDDREPD of -0.1, the difference in the values is0.5, or one -h a lf of a score. If d a ughtersof sires A and Bare raised and managed in the same environment, you would expect half a score better udder suspension in daughters of sire A,compared to sire B.

Teat siz (TEAT)

TEAT EPDs are reported on a 9 (very small) to l (very large, balloon shaped) scoring scale. Differences in sire EPDs predict the difference expected in thesires' daughters' udder characteristics when managed in the same environment.

For example, if sire A h asa teat size EPD of 0.4, and sire B has a teat size EPD of-0.1, the dilference in the values is0.5, or one -halfof a score. lf daughters of sires A and Ba re raised and managM in the same environment, you would expect half a ;coresmaller teat size in daughters of sire A, compared to sire B.

CarcaSI Weight (CW)

CW EPD is a beneficial trait when considering the impact that pounds have relative to end product value. At the same age constant endpoint, sires w h higher values for carcass weight will add more pounds of hot carcass weight compared to sires wih lower value for carcass weight. For example, if sire A has a CW EPD of84 and sire B has a CW EPD 64, then you would expect the progeny of sire A, ifhar;ested atthesame age constant endpoint, to have a 20 -lb. advantage in terms of hot carcass weight.

Rib Fat (FAT)

The FAT EPD reflects dilferences in adjusted 365-day, 12th-rib fat thickness based on carcass measurements of harvested cattle. Sires with low, ornegative FAT EPDs, are expected to produce leaner progeny than sires with higher EPDs. Uhrasound measure, are also incorporated into this trait and have bee,i shown to be highly correlated with the perform anc e of slaughter progeny. All data is eJ<pressed on a carcass scale.

Rib<yeAr,a (REA)

REA EPDs reflect dilferences in an a djusted 365 -day ribeye area measurement based on carcass measurements of harvested cattle Sires with relatively higher REA EPDs are expected to produce better- muscled and higher percentage yielding slaughter progeny than will sires w h lower REA EPDs. Ultrasound measurements are also incorporated into this trait and h av e been shown to be highly correlated wah the performance of slaughter progeny. All data is expressed on a carcass scale.

Marbling (MARB)

MARE EPDs reflect differences in an adjusted 365 -day marbling score (in tramuscula r fat, [IMF]) based on carcas. measurements of harvested cattle. Breeding cattle with higher MARJl EPDs should produce slaughter progeny with a higher degree of IMF and therefore higher quality grade Ultrasound measurements are also incorporated into this trait and have been shown to be highly correlated with the perform anc e of aughter progeny. All data is ex pre.ssed on a car.cassscaJe.

Baldy Maternal Index (BMIS)

1heJlM[$ is a matemallyfocused index that is basedon a production system that uses Herefordx Angus cross cows. Proge,iyof these cows are directed towards Certified Herelilrd Beef. Th is inde.x has significant weight on Sustained Cow Fertility, which predicts fertil yand longevity offemales. There is a slightly positi, weight on Weaning Weight, MatureOiwWeight and Milk which accounts for enough growth but ensures females do not increase inputs. There is some negatil·eemphasis on Dry Matter Intake, but a positive weighting on Carcass Weight which is anticipated to provide profitability from finishing of non-replacement females and castrated males. Marbling and Rib -eye Area are also positively weighted to keep the harvested progeny successful for CH8. This index is geared 10 identify Hereford bulls that will be profitable when used in a rotational cross with mature commercial Angus cows. Brahman Influence Index (BIi$)

The BI!$ is a maternally focused inda that is based on a production system that uses Brahman x Herefor d .cross.cow .s. Progeny of these cows are directed towa rd a commodity beef market since Certified Hereford Beef© does not accept Brahman influenced cattle. This index has significant weight on Sustained Cow Fertility, which predicts fertilit yand longevity offemales. There is aslightly positi, weight on Weaning Weight, Mature Oiw Weight and Milk which accounts forenough growth but ensures female sdo not increase inputs. There is some negative emphasis on Dry Matter Intake, but a positive weighting on Carcass Weight which isanticipated to provide profitability in finishing non-replacement females and castrated males. Marbling and Rib-eye Area are also positi, ly weighted to keep harvested progeny successful for a variety of commodity based programs. This index targets producers that use Hereford bulls on Brahman influenced cows.

Certified Hereford Beeflndex (CHB$)

CHB$ is a terminal sire index that is built on a production system where Hereford bul are mated to mature commercial Angus cows and all progeny wiU be targeted for Certified Hereford Beef© after the fin ishing phase. This index has significant weight on Carcass Weight to ensure profit on the rail. As well there is a positive weighting for Average Daily Gain along with a negative weighting on Dry Matter Intake to ensure efficient pounds ofgrowth in the finishing phase. Keep in mind, this production system takes advantage of complimentary breeding with the commercial Angus cow. Although Marbling is weighted positively in this index, a positive weighting for Rib-eye Area and a negative weighting for Back fat ace a greater priority in this index to allow for optimum end -product merit. This is the only index that has no emphasis on fertility. Rememberthat no replacement heifers are being retained.

Yellowstone was the first Rip Wheeler son we kept to use in our registered herd. Bryan always said Yellowstone was a breeding bull- and that he was! We were extremely pleased with the style and growth he put in his offspring. Yellowstone got hurt two weeks into the 2022 breeding season, so we will have a limited number of offspring. These are the last bulls to ever be offered sired by Yellowstone.

126 was a bull we raised and the final son of the great 4118 bull we had purchased from Harrell Herefords in Oregon. We had used 4118 heavily in our herd and retained many daughters. Once we had daughters in every pasture, it was time for him to move on. We sold our half to Rocking Chair Ranch in Texas, at the age of 6, They used him a few more years, selling many sons of his.

Quentin is a unique breeding piece at our operation. He brought many things to the table we had been looking for. Our goal was to have a bull that was heifer safe, would cross well on the Rip daughters, work on mature cows, and give us a type of cattle we had not had before. Quentin met all those expectations as well as outstanding performance in the show ring. He was the 2021 Res. National Champion Horned bull, a member of the 2021 National Res. Champion Pen of 3 Bulls, and then moved to Colorado. He was turned out to breed heifers, and we pulled him in 60 days prior to his next show. He was named 2021 Wyoming State Fair Supreme Champion Bull. Quentin sired the 2023 Wyoming State Fair Supreme Champion Bull.
