Benchmark® ngus Your Carcass Source A Friends and Fellow Cattlemen, Welcome to our 22nd annual “Makin the Grade Bull Sale.” As you may know, I missed the 21st, recovering from open heart surgery last year at this time. As one gets older, I find myself reflecting back over the years on how this cattle business has evolved. As a breeder of Angus cattle, we have had quite a ride over the past 60 years. One thing has remained the constant in all of the ups and downs; to be sustainable in this business, we must be profitable. There are times when I wonder if we, as cow calf producers are really serious about being profitable. Are we using all the tools possible to ensure our operation is profitable and sustainable? We have left no stone unturned in our quest to bring you cattle that will, in the end, add profitability to your beef operation. Our cattle carry the most time tested EPD’s in the business, and as far as we know, the only cattle tested individually for feed efficiency via our on the ranch, Grow Safe System. One question that has always bothered us at Benchmark® is, “I understand what you are doing, but will I get paid for the attributes you are promoting?” That is a tough question and far too often we hear the producer is not getting paid for cattle that will make the grade. So we have instituted another first in the business. Everyone tells you their bull and cattle are the best. Talk is cheap, so we are putting our money where our mouth is. We will contract to buy your calves at eight
2
cents over Can Fax average which will result in a significant premium for your calves. These calves must be sired by Circle B Qualified bulls and come from qualified cows. Look for the designation throughout the catalogue. Our beef business has taught us that some genetics have the capability of “Makin’ the Grade,” and others do not. In the latest Can Fax weekly market outlook and analysis, it is reported that the AAA/AA spread averaged $14 per cwt in 2017 which amounts to $126 difference on a 900lb carcass. Our focus is not to be content with AAA carcass but to hit the prime Grade resulting in at least double the $126 differential indicated above. Thus our slogan “Be sure your cattle measure up… Use a Benchmark® bull.” We continue to be blessed by having Dale and Laura Fehr and their family as an integral part of our ranch family. We welcome Mike and Hailey Trainer as valuable members of our Benchmark® team. If you haven’t met Shane Whiteman to date, give him a call. He is a wealth of information and will be anxious to visit your farm or ranch and get you enrolled in the Circle B Qualified Program. The bulls have been through a tough winter, look great and are ready for action. Come early April 2nd!
Sincerely,

The Canadian Elite Cow Report is an effort to identify superior cows in the Angus breed. Emphasis is placed on early puberty, breeding and early calving, followed by regularity of calving interval and above-average performance of the off spring. The Elite Cow Report requires a cow to have a minimum of five calves to determine her regularity of calving and ability to consistently produce calves with a superior weaning weight year after year.

B FEED EFFICIENCY I think we all know firsthand about feed efficiency. Some of us eat very little and still gain weight. Some of us wish we were inefficient such that we could eat whatever and how much we want and not gain weight. As with mankind, this principal applies clearly with our cattle. Some are efficient and some are not. We often hear claims by producers that they have and produce efficient cattle. For the most part this is a statement made with no facts and proof behind it as they have not actually tested their cattle. How would one know? That is the dilemma we found ourselves in. We knew the weights on our cows, we knew the weights on our weaned calves and on our yearling cattle, but we had no idea on how to improve efficiency without individual testing of the animals. We run approximately 400 cows, we would like to run 440-450 cows on the same land base. We feed thousands of dollars of feed to our calves post-weaning, we want to decrease that cost by at least 10% and we want to have an improved environmental impact by decreasing methane and manure output. By selecting for more feed efficient animals, we feel we can accomplish these goals. The goal as set by the National Beef Strategy is to be 15% more efficient within 5 years. We have a task set out for all of us. Improving the feed efficiency of your herd can result in big savings. 70 to 75 % of our total feed cost is used for maintenance of our cow herd. A 5% improvement in feed efficiency is considered to have an economic effect 4 times greater than a 5% improvement in average daily gain. Residual Feed Intake (RFI) or net feed efficiency is defined as the difference between an animal’s actual feed intake and its expected feed requirement for maintenance and growth. RFI is the variation in
feed intake that remains after the requirements for maintenance and growth have been met. Efficient animals eat less than expected and have a negative or low RFI, while inefficient animals eat more than expected and have a positive or high RFI. Research has indicated that this trait is quite heritable at about 40% Dr. John Basarab and collaborating scientists from such countries as Australia, Ireland, Brazil and the US have concluded that selection for efficient RFI cattle will have no effect on growth, carcass yield and quality grade; will reduce feed intake at equal weight and ADG, will improve feed to gain ratio by 10-15%; will reduce net energy of maintenance and reduce the carbon footprint of cattle; and will reduce feed costs while having no effect on fertility of the cattle.
an animal will eat per day and is used in comparing one bull to another bull for the predictability of the RFI trait. The table (below) has an example of three bulls with RFI EPDs. We would expect bull X’s calves to eat 0.65 lbs. more feed per day than the average calf his size, bull Y’s to eat 0.35 lbs. less feed per day than the average calf his size, and bull Z’s to eat 0.42 lbs. less feed than the average calf his size. Based on these numbers we would obviously chose bull Z as a sire.
A further explanation is given by Dr. John Genho of Livestock Genetic Services as follows:
Single trait selection is always a bad idea. RFI is no exception to this rule. Selection for RFI should always be done in conjunction with selection for growth. This selection for growth can be done by looking at weaning weight, yearling weight, or post wean gain EPDs. This will allow breeders to select animals that gain the most while consuming the least amount of feed. This is cutting edge. You will not find this information in any other Angus sale book in Canada. If you are serious about breeding economical, efficient, profitable cattle, I think you have to take a look. We have to get more efficient while yet producing a product the consumer is wanting and willing to pay for. We have provided from our Grow Safe Test, ADG, conversion and RFI numbers for your consideration. The actual phenotypic results are the individuals’ actual results on test. The RFI EPDs are a prediction of how the bulls’ progeny will perform with respect to RFI and have been calculated by Dr. Genho.
Feed Efficiency EPDs
Feed Efficiency EPDs attempt to capture an animal’s genetic ability to put on more weight with less feed. While there are many ways to calculate feed efficiency (such as feed conversion ratio and residual average daily gain), an especially useful way is residual feed intake or RFI. RFI is feed intake adjusted for an animal’s weight and gain. An animal that eats more also tends to be larger and gain more weight. By adjusting these factors out of an animal’s intake measurement, we are able to better understand which animals process feed more efficiently. We can then select for our typical growth traits (yearling weight, weaning weight, or post wean gain) and at the same time select for intake (in the form of RFI) and know that there is no double counting of an animal’s size. The RFI EPDs are expressed in actual lbs. of feed

EXPECTED PROGENY DIFFERENCES (EPDs) Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) are the most powerful genetic tool we have for selecting the best animals for your breeding program. EPDs are values that predict how the future progeny of an animal will perform relative to the progeny of other animals in the same breed.
EPDs:
• allow breeders to estimate a young animal’s breeding value - that animal’s value as a parent • allow a fair comparison of breeding value by removing environmental bias such as climate, feed and special management • the best tool available to compare animals between herds, countries and year of birth • help breeders make informed decisions regarding breeding stock selection by evaluating numerous traits such as #1 Growth Related Traits (WW, YW, CW, Milk) weaning weight (wW) Expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sires ability to transmit weaning growth to his progeny compared to other sires. Yearling weight (YW) Expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sires ability to transmit yearling growth to his progeny compared to other sires. MILK Expressed in pounds, is a predictor of the milking ability in a sire’s daughters, representing the difference in weaning weights of calves due to the amount of milk produced by their mothers. Total Materal (TM) Combines the Weaning Weight and Milk EPD;s with half of the WW EPD added to the Milk EPD. carcass weight (cw) is expressed in pounds predicting the differences in the average carcass weight of sires progeny. #2 Reproductive Related Traits (BW, CE, MCE, SC, HPG, Stay) Birth Weight (BW) expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit birth weight to his progeney compared to other sires. Calving ease (CE) the average difference in ease with
which a sire’s calves will be born when he is bred to first calf heifers, a higher number indicates a higher probablity that his calves will be born unassisted. Maternal Calving Ease (MCE) Predicting the average calving ease with which a sire’s first calf heifers will calve when compared to daughters of other sires.. scrotal circumference (SC) Expressed in cm, is a predictor of the difference in transmitting ability for scrotal size compared to other sires. heifer pregnancy (Hpg) is a predictor of the percent probability in a bull’s daughter’s ability to conceive and calve as two year olds. stayability (Stay) is the percent probability of daughters staying in production to at least six year of age. # 3 Carcass Related Traits (Fat , REA, % IMF) To evaluate seed stock, use EPDs, pedigree and visual assessment. With EPDs, the concept of “intermediate optimums” works best. Selection for one trait or for extremes generally results in unexpected consequences due to genetic correlations - for example, intense selection for high yearling weight will generally increase birth weight. Successful cattle breeding requires a thoughtful and balanced approach to optimize fertility, growth and carcass merit while improved profitability and efficiency. With all the data that comes with each bull, I’m sure at times it must be overwhelming. In order to use body composition EPDs of ultrasound data to their full potential, a breeder must have an understanding of the ultrasound terminology. Several of the ultrasound measurements are comparable to the familiar carcass measurements. The data is simply collected on yearling bulls and heifers instead of market ready steers. Take a step back from looking at the numbers and become comfortable with the terminology.
Rib Fat: An external fat measurement taken between the 12th and 13th rib - the location a carcass would be split into quarters in the cooler reported in inches. Rib fat is the main factor in the USDA Yield Grade Equation. Ribeye area (REA): An area measurement of the longissimus dorsi, or ribeye muscle - reported in square inches. This image tends to be the most difficult to collect and requires the most highly skilled interpreting technician. Both the rib fat and ribeye area measurements are taken from the same image. The REA score is reported as sq. in. per 100 lbs. of body weight. Rump Fat: An external fat measurement taken from an image collected between the hooks and the pins of the animal, reported in inches. The rump fat measurement coupled with the rib fat measurement, is used to determine more accurately the overall external body fat, enhancing the accuracy of predicting percent retail product (PRP). In most cases, an animal will exhibit more fat over the rump than the rib due to physiological process of “laying on fat.” Therefore, more variation is often displayed in the rump fat measurements of a contemporary group than the rib fat. This image is highly repeatable and is the least difficult to collect or interpret. intramuscular fat (%imf): This measurement determines the amount of fat within the muscle (similar to marbling) and is reported in “%.” This measurement should be collected when cattle are maintaining a high level of nutrition. The field technician collects four images and the values generated by the interpreting software are averaged for an overall %IMF. The Angus Associations, both AAA and CAA have adopted the CUP (Centralized Ultrasound Processing) Program for Ultrasounding Carcass Data and are using this information for formulating Carcass EPDs. This is the 19th year we have provided ultrasound measurements as taken by certified technicians. We feel it is very important that you, our valued customer, know what is under the hide as that really does determine value. It has been determined through many studies that carcass traits are highly heritable and that feeding has only marginal effect on the resulting carcass genetics determine carcass quality!

Benchmark®
Your Premium Angus Beef Source
Benchmark Angus ventured into the beef business out of necessity in 2003. BSE had hit the cattle business and we had no market for the cattle we had proudly produced for generations. Mike started harvesting those cattle that we could not sell otherwise & marketing it to local restaurants & grocery stores. Through many ups & downs things progressed and we developed a wonderful customer base that are very passionate about our very high quality beef product. In 2015, the opportunity came along to purchase a harvest facility in the heart of cattle feeding country; Picture Butte, AB. On January 1, 2016, we took over the day to day operations of Ben’s Quality Meats and we have seen an explosion of the demand in Benchmark Premium Angus Beef. Today when looking at a ranking for marbling on the 2017 born Black Angus Bulls, all 22,054 of them, listed by the Canadian Angus Association, 20 out of the Top 25 are Benchmark® Bulls with the Top nine being Benchmark®; while on the Red side 12 out of the Top 15 are Benchmark® Bulls with Benchmark® having the Top five, out of 10,547 of the Red Angus Bulls. Why do we talk about this so much? Because, it matters so much and as we harvest more and more animals, we know we have been on the right track. Dr. Miller has said “At the end of the day, all the best science is for naught if it does not show up in an improvement in cattle on the ranch, in the feedlot and the beef on the consumer’s plate.” As we process “Benchmark® Beef”, as well as commodity beef, the differences clearly come to light. And even in our earlier days, prior to having the predictability in our cattle, some made the grade and others did not. Now, the genetics in an animal tells the tale before the grading stamp goes on. Our goal is to provide the genetics to our valued customers allowing them to be the most profitable in the business. We need more Benchmark® sired cattle to meet the demand. If you are using Benchmark® Bulls, we would like to visit about access to their calves and if not using Benchmark® Bulls we ask that you consider using them. Be sure your cattle measure up – use a Benchmark® Bull!” Remember, “Pasture to Plate”, it is not just an old cliche at Benchmark®, we do it every day! Your Carcass Source

He is stout, deep and carries great width and we love his feet and leg structure. He came in dam and is from a heifer we purchased at Gardiner’s. She is a dream female bred in the purple and is the dam of Benchmark Premuium 2’15, the
#1 bull on the Cdn. Registry, ranked for Marbling. These genetics are what it is all about “Gain and Grade.” At the processing plant we see it every day, those that grade and those that don’t. He is in the Top 1 % for milk and total maternal and maternal calving ease and in the TOP 25% or better for REA WW and YW.

B Qualified Bulls
The demand for our Premium Beef Product allows for a premium to be paid for Circle B Qualified feeder cattle. Calves must be sired by Circle B designated bulls. These bulls will carry the Benchmark prefix, carry better than average EPD’s for weaning weight, yearling weight, and rib eye, and will carry a marbling EPD 150% of average of all other Canadian Angus Sires on the registry. Cow herd must be verified for Angus Characteristics and in particular for marbling capability of their offspring. This will be verified by examining the EPD’s of the bulls that have
CARCASS EPDs
3.95
B
been used in years past to produce mother cows of the qualifying calves. These calves must be able to “Make the Grade”. Premium of 8 cents per pound is possible on qualified cattle over the CanFax average, this will likely result in a $40-$50 premium per calf in the fall. Cattle will be placed with a feed-yard partner, there is a limited amount of space, so if you are interested in being apart of a beef business that is progressive and is the only one in Canada doing all that we do, call us today! Contact us early to be qualified and earn those extra dollars on your next calf crop.

The spring of 2013 saw Valerie and I make a trip to Kansas to take in the Gardiner Spring Sale. I spent a good deal of time studying Lots 384 through 389, six full sisters out of Prophet’s mother G A R Objective 1885. They were magnificent females, commanding big money and selling dollar-wise as I had ranked them. Spring of 2014, Mike and I traveled to Kansas and apart from the Lot 1 bull settled in on Lot 11 as our pick of 300 bulls, a son of that high – selling donor the year before. His 50K card indicates he is in the Top 3% for Carcass Weight, Marbling and Heifer Pregnancy, Top 5% for Tenderness, Top 7% for Docility and Top 15% and 18% for Weaning Weight and Yearling Weight. His $Value Indexes have him in the TOP 1% $QG and TOP 2% for $G. Knowing the cows in his pedigree make us very anxious to get his daughters into production. Your Carcass Source

Makin Hay’s data puts him in exclusive company. His dam is the most valuable cow Bieber own’s. His maternal brother Rough Rider is going to leave a big mark. You read and hear a lot of talk about cattle turning the curve twice with low BW, fast growth and moderate mature size. This cowline does precisely that. Makin Hay has 2 sons in the sale in 2018.

This young Commitment son ratioed 102 for weaning and stands in the top 20% of the breed for birth weight 15% for weaning weight 20% for yearling weight. Those that don’t believe in the numbers, look at this guy’s tabulation, EPD’s tell us he will weigh more and he does. His mother’s EPD’s tell us she will make more milk and in-turn put more pounds on her calves, and she does! And the numbers tell us his calves that he will sire more rib eye and more marbling, and there is a reason that Benchmark Premium Angus Beef is an exploding beef brand! Dam production on 6 calves ratioing 105 on bull calves and 100 on her heifer calves. This guy is a pleasure to be around, all these Commitment sons are very docile!
