Performance Data

Performance Data WW

Calving Ease

All weights are taken at weaning and adjusted to 205 days to allow you to compare the bulls on an even playing field.

Calving ease is probably the biggest concern to most bull buyers. Calving ease is most often related to birth weight of a bull. This is partly true but there are many other factors that influence calving ease.

Nutrition and gestation play a role. Our rating of each bull is based on all the information we have available.

YW All weights are taken at the end of test and adjusted to 365 days, again to let you easily compare the bulls.

W.P.D.A. ... all weights at the end of test are used to calculate the bull’s weight per day of age. It covers the entire gaining period to date (on the cow and on the feed).

• *** Should produce minimal calving problems when bred to moderate sized first calf heifers.

• ** Recommended for use on second calvers or small framed cows – 1100 to 1300 lbs.

• * Recommended for mature cows - 1400+ lbs.

Disposition Scoring System

Yearling S.C.

1. Wider flight zone-moves off pressure easily, easily excited.

2. Average disposition-handles easily if worked quietly.

3. Can work very easily, doesn’t get excited.

4. Won’t get out of your way, narrow or no flight zone.

The bulls will be extended, palpated and semen tested on March 18th, 2013. All bulls meet industry standards based on breed and age.

Check out our new website for an updated scratch list of the bulls.

A.D.G. …after a 30 day warm-up period the bulls are put on test to measure their A.D.G. for the next 90 days.

Horned-Scurred-Polled Horned: An animal with a horn growth affixed to the skull that has or has not been removed.

Scurred: An animal with rudimentary horn growth that will not develop into a horn. Scurs are the result of an independent gene unrelated to either the horned or polled gene. Polled: An animal with absence of horn growth. (An animal can have scurs and still be genetically polled.)

Warranty Program

Breeding Season

Warranty Program S

oderglen’s Warranty Program offers a cut rate warranty in a language you can understand.

Soderglen will warranty your bull and carry all risk. In our opinion, using only Mortality Insurance is money out the window with little or no value because 96% of bull problems are injury, not death.

We have the ability to make cash settlement or service your needs with another bull, whichever you choose. Should you have any problem with a bull, contact Soderglen at (403) 948-6734 and we will handle the problem immediately. Your veterinarian and yourself will fill out a claim form provided by Soderglen and that is all that is needed to take care of your claim.

It’s unfortunate but sometimes bulls will become injured prior to or during their first breeding season and often these injuries are life threatening. In an effort to better serve our customers we are offering an optional warranty on all bulls sold through this sale. This warranty will cover loss of use from injuries as well as death.

The cost of this extended warranty is 7.5% of the bulls purchase price. The coverage is completely optional and you can take it or leave it.

Terms of Retaining Half Interest

Terms of Retaining

Half Interest B

uyer pays the bid price and has possession of the bull for the spring/summer breeding season and throughout the year except when Soderglen exercises their right to use the bull for their fall breeding program in September and October of each year.

Soderglen, at their option, may pick up the bull and use him for their summer calving program. They may also place the bull in a stud unit and collect semen. Any semen sold on the bull will be split 50/50 with his owners.

Soderglen will take full responsibility for all expenses and assume all risk, re: death or injury while they have possession of the bull. When Soderglen exercises their possession rights, they will offer to maintain the bull at their expense until the following spring and then deliver the bull back to the buyer. In the event of injury or death while under Soderglen’s care, the owner will receive full purchase price. For that reason Soderglen suggests you cover your bull while in your possession. The buyer receives 100% of the salvage value of the bull.

Semen Rights Please note: On a few designated bulls we retain the right to collect, use and market semen at some future date. As purchaser of the bull you will receive a 25 percent revenue-sharing semen interest, along with full possession of the bull. Semen will be collected at your convenience and at our expense during the off season. This in no way affects your use of the bull! In the event semen is marketed and revenue is produced the resulting proceeds, minus incurred expenses, shall be divided among those who own a semen interest.

EPD Summary

EPD’s

E

PD’s are predictions on how each bull rates against his own contemporary group and the rest of the breed. EPD’s evaluate group averages and offspring’s performance, however they cannot predict individual performance or weights.

For example, if Bull A (WW EPD of +10) and Bull B (WW of +60) were randomly mated with 10 similar cows, we would expect the group average weaning weight of Bull A’s offspring to be 50 lbs lighter than Bull B’s (60 - 10 = 50).

Expected Progeny Difference

BW

This value predicts the difference in average birth weight of a bull’s calves compared to breed averages.

WW

Indicates the ability of a sire’s calves to grow from birth to weaning.

YW

Growth from birth to yearling (expressed in pounds).

Milk

A reflection of the milking ability of a bull’s daughters. It compares the difference in gain between birth to weaning of a bull’s daughter’s calves compared to the calves from the daughters of other sires evaluated.

TM

Calculated by using 1/2 WW + Milk. Predicts weaning weight on a bull’s daughter’s calves.

Accuracy Accuracy reflects the reliability of the EPD value.

High accuracy values (>.80) mean the EPD value is closer to the true breeding value than an EPD value with a lower accuracy (</.20).

Never Lose Your Grandson!

A Heartwarming Story

My small grandson got lost at the shopping mall..

He approached a uniformed security gaurd and said, “I’ve lost my Grandpa!”

The guard asked, “What’s his name?”

“Grandpa.”

The guard smiled, then asked, “What’s he like?”

The little tyke hesitated for a moment and then replied, “Crown Royal and women with big hooters.”

Soderglen

Red max Modified red & black simmental genetics

Our MAX line is a leader in the industry of Hybrid Genetics. We chose Angus as our base breed because it is the most predictable and consistent producer of mainstream maternal genetics. We selected Simmental as the complementary breed for our MAX line and our first goal was to find solid red and black color, structure with ample performance and carcass merit. The result is Soderglenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MAX line for F1 and composite hybrid genetics. These MAX and composite bulls give the commercial cattleman a power-packed performance and maternal sire loaded with convenience traits.

Red MAX are registered half-blood simmentals.

If you need a paper, just ask!

Soderglen

Red Angus Red and Black Angus are the foundation of Soderglenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Program. They represent the largest numbers of mother cows by breed as well as in quality. It is the base breed for our MAX cattle as well as our new line of CCM cattle. We can attribute our success to disciplined breeding strategies using proven AI sires generation after generation. Great cowherds are created by culling and we cull more cows per year than most of our competitors own. Disposition, udders, feet, fertility, maternal performance and calving ease are ruthlessly evaluated yearly.

black simmentals Modified red and black simmental genetics

As a seedstock producer we are responding to the demand for Simmental cattle that maintain superior maternal and fertility traits. We strive to produce a line of Red and Black Simmental cattle loaded with longevity and convenience traits such as polling, calving ease, correct foot and leg structure and balanced pigmented udders. We are attempting to produce a line of Simmental cattle to fit our customers needs in the medium to large cow calf operations of the Southern Central Prairie Provinces and BC. Simmental cattle have a unique combination of maternal traits as well as performance and carcass quality. Produced with common sense management practices, Simmental is a breed that is well suited for a large part of our existing customer base.

black max Modified red & black simmental genetics

Our Black Max program is genetically engineered to be predictable in all aspects of production from calving ease and BW, to polling power and colour pattern. A common question asked is, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Can we use these bulls on black or black baldy cows and not get smoky calves?â&#x20AC;? The answer is yes. We guarantee it. Should you get a smoky calf from a black, black Hereford cross or Hereford cow, we will purchase the calf from you at top steer price. The Black MAX genetic selection are three generation polled, solid colours, non spotter and non diluted. Approximately 75% of the sale bulls are homozygous in these traits and we only use Simmental bulls that have high probability of being homozygous. For these reasons, these MAX cattle are more predictable for these traits than our purebred lines.

Black MAX are registered half-blood simmentals.

If you need a paper, just ask!

black Angus

Red and Black Angus have always been very popular British Breeds. They are noted for their calving ease, maternal traits and their ability to marble. With so much to offer, we believe they should have an integral part in most crossbreeding systems. You have the oppurtunity to purchase elite purebred genetics at a price commercial programs can afford.

VETERINARY AGRI-HEALTH SERVICES

Veterinary Agri-Health Services Ltd. is proud to celebrate our 20th Anniversary in 2013. Our business was established in 1993 by Dr. Michael Jelinski, who had a vision of creating a health management oriented veterinary practice to provide high quality professional services to beef producers. Today, our business has grown into a vibrant food animal practice, servicing bovine clients across Western Canada. As the needs of the cattle industry have evolved so has the practice and now in addition to the delivery of herd health programs to feedlot and cow/calf operations, we are active in research projects with a number of academic, government and pharmaceutical industry partners. It has always been our philosophy that if our clients were successful we would be successful. As such, we would like to thank Soderglen Ranches for their patronage over the past 20 years. As an initial core client, they have always been invested in Veterinary Agri-Health Services’ bovine health management ideology, and we look forward to many more years to come.

For more information, please visit www.vahs.net, look for us on facebook (Veterinary Agri-Health Services), or follow us on twitter (@vetpracticevahs).

Our team consists of Dr. Michael Jelinski, Dr. Craig Dorin, Dr. Nathan Erickson, Dr. Cody Creelman and our faculty member from the University of Calgary – Dr. Karin Orsel, along with our excellent support staff – Marlene Shiels, Corissa Boychuk and JoAnn Miller.

Open Replacement Female Program

OPEN REPLACEMENT FEMALE PROGRAM T

he top cut selected from 1400 females will sell this spring and fall. We have 350 Black, 350 Black Baldies and 350 Red, and 350 Red Baldies for sale. These heifers were bought from some of the top herds in Western Canada as heifer calves and we have developed them at Soderglen. You will not find a better combination of genetics for commercial cows excelling in fertility, calving ease and convenience traits than these heifers. This is a quality-controlled sale. All cattle must meet strict

requirements to be eligible and we require that the heifers be a minimum of 800 lbs. All heifers will be palpated and weighed. The heifers are pre-sorted according to breed, weight, and color. The heifers are on the Express vaccination Program.

Call us for more information. We will help organize

the loads; however, the cost of delivery for the heifers is the buyer’s responsibility.

Sale Information

Welcome to bioTrack

bioTrack is a not-for-profit organization that is producer owned and controlled that manages funding through research projects. BIO brings innovation and cost effective tools to ranchers to proved a better way to manage livestock business. Progressice ranched like Soferglen Ranches Ltd. are adopting new practices that keep them on the leading edge of the Canadian Beek Industry.

Measure Your Progress

Capturing raw information at each stage of growth proves genetic potential.

BIO ABC’s are used to evaluate animals of different breeds. They are calculated using data from all breeds, allowing a common system to compare the benefits not only within a breed, but between breeds and composite cattle. ABC’s give a common baseline for all animals to be evaluated equally. BIO has generated all EPD’s in this catalogue.

What is GE & BIO ABC? What is Genetic Evaluation?

An animal’s observed performance for a trait is known as a phenotype. The phenotype (or performance) is influenced by the environment the animal is subjected to or raised in, as well as the genetic contribution of the animal’s parents (dam and sire).

Phenotype = Genotype + Environment Genetic evaluation attempts to determine and remove the environmental influence, so genetic potential of the animal can be estimated. It’s impossible to determine the environmental influence versus the genetic influence on the performance of one animal. Multiple animals living in the same environment are required to determine the common environmental influence on performance.

How is Genetic Evaluation Reported?

There are many ways that genetic evaluation can be reported, and many ways that genetic potential can be expressed. Breeding values are estimated through genetic evaluation. The estimated breeding value (EBV) is the animal’s genotypic value that is transmittable to offspring, or the genetic potential that is heritable. The estimated progeny difference (EPD) is half of the estimated breeding value. Estimated Progeny Differences (EPD) are selection tools that provide estimates of the genetic value of an animal as a parent. When comparing two animals of the same breed, the difference between their EPD predicts the difference in average performance of their respective offspring.

How does BIO report Genetic Evaluations?

To compare animals of different breeds, or crossbred animals with multiple breeds in their pedigree, producers can use Across Breed

42

Comparisons (ABCs). ABCs are breed-adjusted EPDs. With ABCs, one breed can be compared to another, a purebred can be compared to percentage cattle and percentage cattle can be compared, regardless of their breed composition.

ABCs are calculated from performance data and pedigrees. Performance data includes weights and measures gathered while on test with BIO, as well as herd information collected from the producer.

Pedigree includes parents, grandparents, siblings and offspring.

Using ABCs in a Breeding Program: BIO ABCs are calculated using a fixed base, which is the starting point for comparing animals. The fixed base is as follows:

For each trait, you can consider the fixed base the average performance. For example, calving ease is the likelihood of requiring assistance at calving for first calf heifers. A positive ABC for calving ease means the calf is less likely to require assistance at calving, while a negative number means the calf is more likely to require assistance.

To make using ABCs easier, BIO calculates percentile ranking for all traits. With percentile rankings, 100 is the best possible rank. For an animal that ranks 95 for a trait, they are in the top 5% for that trait. Rankings are calculated across all breeds, and calculated within breed for purebred animals. Rankings are also calculated for the BIO$ Index.

A Letter From The

Nutrition Services Associates

P

rofessionally balanced diets that provide the optimal amounts of protein, energy, minerals & vitamins are the foundation of any cattle nutrition program. At Soderglen Ranches, these diets are implemented in combination with intensive animal, feedstuff & bunk management protocols to develop an elite feeding regime that ultimately enhance the reproductive soundness & genetic potential for growth of every animal that carries the ◊S brand.

Soderglen stringently applies these aspects of feeding management on a day-in, day-out basis to insure that nothing is left to chance when it comes to the nutritional development of their Seedstock.

Reproductive soundness is highly correlated to the nutritional regime used in bull development programs. Feeding rations that are too high or too low in energy may both equally impair semen quality, albeit for different reasons. Bulls fed to obtain maximum average daily gain while on test usually result in a high degree of body condition. Bulls fed in this manner are susceptible to producing lower quality semen and may also have reduced libido & serving capacity. Alternatively, under-nourished bulls may lack the sexual maturity required at the inception of breeding season, as well as result in large reductions in body condition which could also impair serving capacity. Matching bulls with a moderate energy ration with an optimum ratio of concentrate to forage will allow for development of structural soundness, sexual maturity, and the appropriate body condition for breeding season.

44

Meeting the nutritional needs to allow for proper overall bull growth and reproductive development is a complex process and is an integral part of making your future breeding bull selections. A crucial facet of bull development is providing the appropriate minerals and vitamins. A few of the most important trace minerals are zinc, copper, and manganese, along with vitamins A, D, & E which are key factors in overall animal growth, semen production, fertility, & hoof integrity. The appropriate concentrations of these minerals and in the correct ratios are thought to be as important as other nutrients for proper development, with a large proportion coming from chelated minerals.

Soderglen Ranches & Nutrition Service Associates have worked diligently to provide a stringent nutritional regime for their operation. Soderglen Bulls have been developed using diets that allow them to express their superior genetic ability for growth & reproductive capacity whilst not producing bulls excessive in body condition.

Soderglen Ranches takes great pride in the fact that these bulls are nutritionally prepared to succeed in your cattle operation.
