2017 Poppe Cattle Company // Black Ranches INC

Welcome�

Welcome to the 2018 Poppe Cattle Company Bull Sale. We’re excited to have ourĐ first sale in Fallon, Montana This year. We’ve been selling bulls to theĐ industry for the past 25 years. Most recently, we produced 13 sales in Antioch,Đ Nebraska at Black Ranches INC, and prior to that we sold in Billings, MontanaĐ as well as private treaty in Southwest Colorado.Đ

Sale Schedule�

View The Bulls�

Jake and Bree have been selling with us for ten years. In Fall of 2017, weĐ joined them in Montana, combining both herds. It has been a good transition toĐ better concentrate on our family operation.Đ In the early 1990’s we were ranching at the top of the world in Sargents,Đ Colorado on the historic Cross-Bar Ranch, where elevations ran from 8,500 toĐ 12,000 feet. We decided to develop a composite for the high altitude area ofĐ southwest Colorado. Calving season was traditionally late and consequentlyĐ wean weights were light in that environment.Đ Our goal was simple: to increase wean weights, add fertility and efficiency toĐ the herd, and increase survivability (evading brisket disease). Heterosis wasĐ certainly a necessity in the design, as was calving ease and retaining moderateĐ mature size. We fast-tracked the transition by breeding AI, and within a fewĐ years we were driving a race car; breeding cattle, feeding and sellingĐ seedstock. We did make a brisket-safe herd of cows who’s offspring survive atĐ high altitude as well as thrive at the feedlots. We took advantage of heterosisĐ and managed an effective AI program; all in a 110 day growing season.Đ The outcome was very effective on the ranch. Wean weights went up dramatical-Đ ly, as did conception rate. Over the years, we’ve learned much. In 1997, we fedĐ 200 steers at the Monfort Finish Lot in Gilcrest, Colorado. This lot had aĐ 100,000 head capacity. The steers were slaughtered at an average of 14 ¾Đ months, 82% choice or better, 2.6 average yield grade, 5.6 lbs conversion rate.Đ

Sale Location�

Sale Day Phones�

A 380 lb wean weight in the Cross-Bar country of Colorado was predictableĐ most every fall with April/May born calves. During the 1994 fall, we sawĐ calves with wean weights that averaged 545 lbs. I could go on, but not here.Đ During the late 1990’s and early 2000’s we took pens of open yearling heifersĐ and bred heifers to the National Western Stock Show in Denver, Colorado. WeĐ needed to take this disciplined breeding program to town and see how theyĐ stacked up. We primarily showed against Angus. We were fortunate to winĐ several Grand Championships in both the open yearlings as well as the bredĐ heifers. I felt we needed to show how consistent this program is.Đ Our composite breed composition run 50%-75% Angus x ¼ Simmental x 1/8Đ Gelbvieh with slight variations making up the herd. The theory has been toĐ create an English-Continental cross which would have the ability to carryĐ adequate IMF, yet muscle and increase yield on the carcass, to take advantageĐ of heterosis in each calf crop, but also retain the females to double theĐ benefit.Đ We have used a disciplined approach concerning sire selection, heifer retentionĐ and in maintaining a moderate, mature cow. This discipline makes all theĐ difference and I can say for sure that maintaining a strict selection criteria onĐ sires has been the focus for us.Đ This year, the bull test ran for 96 days.Đ The overall average daily gain was 3.2 lbs.Đ We invite you to take advantage of the pen wrap procedure and give seriousĐ thought to your selection criteria. One type, one kind is a great way to build aĐ cowherd and market calves.Đ Best Regards,Đ

Contact Vince Poppe for Sight Unseen Questions & Orders:Đ Ranch: (406) 778-6930 // Cell: (308) 763-1930Đ

Delivery� Bulls will be kept and fed until the end of April, when weĐ will deliver the bulls to the ranch or a central location in your area.Đ

Sale� Terms� &� Conditions�

Volume Buying // Pen Wrap Procedure�

The bulls will sell in sireĐ groups. We have lotted these bulls in uniform groups from two toĐ seven head per pen. Pens may not be wrapped until the sale is made.Đ The winning bidder can buy any combination he chooses from the pen,Đ or the entire pen by choosing the pen wrap.Đ A graduated percentage will be discounted from each bull purchasedĐ in volume for example; buyer #21 chose to wrap a three head pen, heĐ deducts 1% from the first bull, 2% from the second and 3% from theĐ third and so on. It is our intent to allow all of the buyers the oppor-Đ tunity to purchase any bull in the sale. The winning bid has controlĐ to purchase any portion of or all bulls in a pen.Đ

Bidding Disputes� The Auctioneer in charge will settle any disputes asĐ to bids, and his decision on such matters shall be final.Đ

Terms�

The terms of the sale are cash or check, with proper ID, theĐ right of property shall not pass until after settlement is made. AllĐ settlements will be made with the clerks of the sale immediately fol-Đ lowing the conclusion of the sale and before any cattle will be re-Đ leased from the facility.Đ

Announcements�

Changes of information contained in this catalogĐ relating to the animals offered for the sale will be announced fromĐ the auction block and such announcements shall take precedence. Er-Đ rors discovered in the catalog will be corrected by announcements atĐ sale time and such corrections will take precedence over printed mat-Đ ter in this catalog.Đ The Igenity results will be available at registration counter prior toĐ the sale. All bulls sell unconditionally guaranteed to be free of allĐ defects, and have been tested when necessary.Đ 2 | 2018 Poppe Cattle Company

Fertility� The bulls will be fertility tested in mid-April. If a sale bullĐ does not pass a soundness or semen test and a bull of equal value isĐ available to replace the sale bull that will be the process. If a bullĐ is not available or suitable, the customer will be refunded.Đ

Epds� The Composites and Hybrids are assigned estimated EPDs by ourĐ in house calculations and then adjusted to compare with the AgA forĐ your convenience.Đ

Guarantee� Poppe Cattle Company stands behind the bulls.Đ We guarantee these bulls through the first breeding season orĐ September 15, whichever comes first. These bulls have been testedĐ and developed to be sound breeders, with genetic lead time. If a bullĐ proves to be unsound (a veterinarian’s evaluation is required for ourĐ records) - we have three options for warranty:Đ • replace your bull with an equal valued bull if availableĐ • credit the buyer with the original purchase price plus 10% inĐ the following sale.Đ • refund in the event of death loss – or refund the differenceĐ between salvage and the original price paid.Đ • in the event of a neglected virus or infectionĐ the guarantee is voided.Đ

Share Semen Interest Revenue�

We are selling revenue sharing and semenĐ interest on all bulls. The bull is totally in your control and you getĐ all the salvage value. In general, we retain the right to a share ofĐ semen sales revenue from the bull if at some time in the future semenĐ sales become a possibility. If you sell the bull to another breeder,Đ Poppe Cattle Company retains semen interest.Đ

Fertility,� Guarantee� &� Shared� Interest�

It’s unlikely that large amounts of semen will be sold from manyĐ bulls. The reason we are retaining interest in all the bulls is that aĐ bull may be discovered later, after proving themselves. Bulls soldĐ commercially may become popular at a later time, especially as carcassĐ data is collected on their calves. If you purchase a bull and choose toĐ collect semen for your in herd use, as an insurance policy, that semenĐ is 100% yours. Poppe Cattle Company may decide to collect the bull forĐ our in herd use or to build a jointly owned semen bank for saleĐ purposes.Đ If you are not interested in collecting semen on the bull, Poppe CattleĐ Company retains the right to collect the bull for our own use, and inĐ this case we will pay all collection and transporting expenses. SemenĐ collection will be implemented at the convenience of the possessionĐ interest. We are selling 2/3 semen interest and full possession andĐ salvage on all bulls selling in this catalog.Đ

Igenity Gold Testing�

dna profiles for crossbred & purebred cattleĐ

Igenity profiles of replacement heifers and bulls help you to evaluate their genetic potential forĐ traits that are important to your goals. Igenity reports on these predictions in maternal, performanceĐ and carcass trait categories, making it easier to review an entire spectrum of traits and focus onĐ those traits making the biggest impact in your operation. With this review on 13 pivotal traits, anĐ operator can make more confident decisions as you select, manage and market your cattle. UsingĐ DNA profiles can help you know more about the genetic potential of cattle.Đ Calving difficulties, cows that don’t breed back, heifers with poor conception, cattle with poorĐ dispositions and cows that milk too much, or not enough, all hurt your bottom line. EvaluatingĐ maternal traits in your breeding stock helps you develop a cow-herd that will be more productiveĐ for years to come.Đ Heifers and cows that require extra feed to maintain body condition are less desirable than moreĐ efficient cows. By selecting females with lower RFI and higher ADG, you will improve efficiency ofĐ gain in your herd. Selection pressure on these traits will have a direct influence on your cow herdĐ and can help improve feed efficiency in future calf crops, too. For example, pens of feeder calvesĐ can be grouped with other animals of similar potential, and be fed or marketed based on thatĐ potential. This leads to more uniform, more efficient gain in the finishing phase.Đ Predicting carcass merit is important whether you are raising feeder calves for sale at weaning,Đ retaining calves to finish and/or selling on quality grids. Igenity profiling allows you to selectĐ breeding stock that will produce higher-quality carcasses and transmit that quality to theirĐ progeny. Plus, sorting high-quality cattle from lower-potential cattle helps you manage andĐ market each group more appropriately.Đ Using the reports can help in many ways. For example, you can use the scores to sort cattle andĐ manage them for breeding or production. Or, the data can help you pinpoint strengths andĐ weaknesses in your cow herd and identify traits you want to improve. A common way to makeĐ improvement is to buy bulls that excel in specific traits. For example, if your cows on average scoreĐ low for marbling, you can improve your herd by buying bulls that are in the top 30% of their breedĐ for marbling. You can also select your best females based on their Igenity marbling score, to moveĐ \you faster towards your goals. Longer term, you can use your Igenity reports to trackĐ improvements across multiple traits, increase uniformity in your cattle and measure your progress.Đ To learn more about how to apply results, visitĐ goals and selections.Đ

Breed Complementarities & The PAP Gene�

A progressive recipe for commercial producers�

It has been said its harder to manage whenĐ times are good. In a market as this, that isĐ evident. There is much to study in terms of calfĐ premiums today. Could be worthwhile to kickĐ the can past the high calf premiums and focusĐ on increasing stability for future returns byĐ progressing your factory of females.Đ

For commercial producers, leveraging a pro-Đ gram that increases quality and volume whileĐ decreasing inputs is the game we are in. Know-Đ ing I’ve said it before - hybrid vigor is the onlyĐ “free lunch” in the cow business. The value ofĐ heterosis (hybrid vigor) in a cross-breedingĐ program can add value in every cow in yourĐ factory. It’s a trait a producer can commandĐ every year, regardless of how or where youĐ sell calves. Heterosis is the trusted buildingĐ block to developing environmentally adaptedĐ females that we all strive for year after year.Đ A program utilizing heterosis has an advantageĐ of not only increased quality and poundsĐ weaned on calves, but also a head start onĐ strengthening the durability, efficiency andĐ productivity of a cow herd.Đ In conjunction with heterosis, integrating lowĐ PAP tested sires on cross-bred females ex-Đ poses additional attainable benefits. ResearchĐ and experience proves as cattle get heavier inĐ the finishing process, there is an increasedĐ incidence for loss in the fats by some animalsĐ that would be compromised by heart disease,Đ even at moderate elevations of 3-4,000 feet inĐ an arid feedlot environment. As the carcassĐ heavies, the heart works harder in the sameĐ spirit it does under higher elevation pressureĐ and duress.Đ

That said, in terms of marketing cattle thatĐ work anywhere in the country, integrating lowĐ PAP bulls in your program - no matter theĐ elevation - is a sure bet to increase yourĐ calves’ footprint and improve the survivabilityĐ of your cattle in general - no matter the eleva-Đ tion of your headquarters or summer country,Đ from sea level to tree-line.Đ In essence, the PAP gene increases the market-Đ ability and value of your cattle to work any-Đ where in the country. Couple the pap gene withĐ a disciplined cross-breeding program focusedĐ on heterosis, and from start to finish, calf toĐ cow, pasture to plate - these are mainstays inĐ the bull program here atĐ With moving the operation solely to Montana -Đ we were unable to test this year due to lack ofĐ elevation where the bull pairs pastured.Đ We’re confident the bulls will PAP once accli-Đ mated at high elevation, and they are backed byĐ our sale guarantee.Đ We look forward to seeing you at the sale thisĐ year! Best wishes for a great calving season.Đ -Vince Poppe�

Composite & Hybrid Bulls Reference Sires� The development of an optimalĐ herd of cows that fit the environment they will call home is the mission ofĐ any successful stockman. You have numerous areas of concern as theĐ attempt is made to accomplish this ultimate goal. On average the deep bodied,Đ easy fleshing type is more successful in harsh environments. By the sameĐ token, she will excel in any country that is a step up from what beĐ considered harsh. This physiological type can and usually do carry a higherĐ level of IMF (marbling). When females marble at a younger age they alsoĐ tend to cycle earlier. Add heterosis, and both traits are evident.Đ The rule of thumb for increased wean weight when heterosis occurs in a calfĐ due to cross-breeding is 10-12%. If the dam also carries heterosis in herĐ system the increased resulting wean weight in offspring will naturallyĐ increase to 20-24%.Đ There are not many free-lunches in the Beef Industry. There are additionalĐ measurable benefits to incorporate heterosis in your replacement heifers.Đ They tend to cycle earlier, are more apt to quality for high elevation (PAPĐ test), perform at an accelerated level at the feed yard, and get a longevityĐ boost of a year or two.Đ The results of multiple generations of trait management during sireĐ selection for AI breeding has proven to be worthwhile. You will observe aĐ noticeable trend to calving ease, high performance, added carcass value andĐ moderate mature size in our program.Đ

PCC 49ER HAS A GOOD EYE APPEAL COMBINED WITH A BIG SCROTAL AND A WELL MUSCLED, MODERATE MATURE FRAME. FOR US, FRAME SCORE IS ALWAYS A MAJOR CONSIDERATION IN CHOOSING AN OUTSIDE BREEDING INPUT. THE PROBLEM I USUALLY DISCOVER IS MOST SEEDSTOCK PRODUCERS DO NOT PUBLISH A FRAME SCORE.

BWT

Lot 66 | PCC MENTOR 5132E

WE EVALUATE LOT 64 AS AN ABOVE AVERAGE CHOICE FOR ALL EGNOMIC TRAITS. HE EXCELS WITH DNA RESULTS AND SCORES ABOVE AVERAGE WITH HIS STATURE AND CONFIRMATION. HE’S A GOOD CHOICE FOR A COW HERD.

ACT WDA

ALL OF THE PEN Q BULLS ARE FROM 74-78 LBS. BIRTWEIGHT. LOT 66 POSTED A 74 LB BW WITH A DNA SCORE OF 3 BWT, 7 CED AND 7 CEM. HE IS AN EASY CALVING PROSPECT WITH HETEROSIS. HE’S A GOOD COMBINATION FOR THE COMMERCIAL PRODUCER WHO CALVES IN BIG COUNTRY.

Last June, we faced the unbelievable task of laying our daughter (sister,Đ mother), Sara to rest. As we gathered to do so and looked on the faces ofĐ the countless people attending to honor Sara’s life - it brought us peace toĐ see our customers, friends, neighbors and family gathered to remember aĐ life cut short; however well lived with such lasting impact on so many.Đ As we retagged the bulls and heifers last fall from their calf tag, so manyĐ of those tags were in Sara’s handwriting. It was hard to set them in theĐ burn barrel knowing they would be the last.Đ As a family, we want to take this opportunity to say thank you for yourĐ relentless support and prayers over the last year. So many donated fundsĐ in Sara’s honor to the charity efforts that were important to her; This wasĐ incredible, as well. The dedication from friends, family, faith and industryĐ is such a treasure. Sincerely, thank you.Đ Be blessed,Đ

The Poppe Family�
