20 mo.old forage developed bulls

Welcome Beef Producers to B/F Cattle Company!

Welcome cattlemen to our Maternal Integrity BULL SALE. I’m not much on titles or catch phrases, but I do feel that our sale name encompasses what we feel is the most important aspect to profitability for cow/ calf producers. Fertility trumps all other traits or fads chased by the seedstock industry, and it always will!

That is why I am willing to criticize my own females that raised these bulls. Because I want you to get exactly what you are looking for. Every female at B/F Cattle Co. is a multi-generation Balancer®, which I believe gives us, and you, a more consistant calf crop. I am also very proud to say that every registered cow on the place was bred and born here. That has given us a true sense of the reality to the heritability of fertility. At the same time, I don’t believe in pampering cows just because they have big pedigrees or a great EPD profile. We treat our cows very similar to the commercial cattlemen in this area. If we spoiled ours, the gentics we passed on would not work for our bull buyers.

Thanks for taking the time to look through our offering and don’t hesitate to give us a holler if we can help you. -- Brett

This moderately framed beef machine adds tons of growth and carcass merit. Daughters are easy fleshing and about the perfect size for fescue country. They average 190.4 for pelvic area. He is out of one of the most awesome cows in the Gelbvieh breed! We sent some steers from our 2012 calf crop to Tri County Steer Feed Out. His steers went on to be in the top 4% for feed lot profitability which is comparing them to multiple breeds and countless A.I. Sires. This proves that you don’t need large framed cattle to be profitable in the feedlot.

Getting Familiar with Gelbvieh & Balancer® EPDs EPD Definitions: Listed below are

the definitions of American Gelbvieh Associations EPDs and the units in which they are published. the EPDs with an asterisk (*) next to the name are available to members only.

Maternal traits:

Calving Ease Direct (CED): Percent of unassisted births of a bull’s calves when he is used on heifers. A higher number is favorable, meaning better calving ease. This EPD can be vital to a rancher looking to decrease the amount of calves pulled in his herd.

Milk (MK): The genetic ability of a sire’s daughters to produce milk expressed in pounds of weaning weight.

Calving Ease Maternal (CEM): Represented as percent of unassisted births in a sire’s firstcalving daughters. A higher number represents more favorable calving ease. This EPD is important to a rancher’s bottom line because it predicts which animals produce daughters with a genetic pre-dispostion to calve unassisted as heifers.

Heifer Pregnancy (HP): Predicts the probability that a bull’s daughters will become pregnant as first-calf heifers in a regular breeding season, expressed as a percent. A higher value of this EPD is favorable, meaning that a higer percentage of a sire’s daughters get pregnant as first calf heifers compared to other sires in his contemporary group.

30-month Pregnancy (PG30): Predicts the probability that a bull’s daughters will become pregnant and calve at three years of age, given that they calved as first-calf heifers. This EPD is expressed as a percent, again, with a higher number being more favorable meaning a higher percentage of a sire’s daughters will calve at three years of age, given they calved as first-calf heifers.

Stayability (ST): Predicts the genetic difference, in terms of percent probability, that a bull’s daughters will stay productive within a herd to at least six years of age. The stayability EPD is one of the best measures currently available to compare a bull’s ability to produce females with reproductive longevity.

Growth traits: Birth Weight (BW): Predicts the difference, in pounds, for birth weight of the calf.

Weaning Weight (WW): Predicts the difference, in pounds, for weaning weight (adjusted to age of dam and a standard 205 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to weaning.

Yearling Weight (YW): Predicts the difference, in pounds, for yearling weight (adjusted to a standard 365 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to yearling. *Mature Weight EPD (MW): Predicts the average difference in pounds of mature weight of a sire’s progeny compared to their contemporaries.

Carcass traits: Yield Grade (YG): Differences in yield grade score, hich is a predictor of percent retail product. Smaller values suggest that progeny will have a better lean to fat ratio.

Carcass Weight (CW): Difference in pounds of hot carcass weight, adjusted to an industry standard age endpoint.

Ribeye Area (REA): Differences in ribeye area in inches between the 12th and 13th rib.

Greater ribeye areas are preferable.

Marbling (MB): Predicts the differences in the degree of marbling within the ribeye as expressed in marbling score units. Greater marbling numbers are preferable and are an indicator of higher carcass quality grades.

Fat (FT): Differences for fat thickness, in inches, for a carcass over the 12th rib, smaller numbers of fat thickness are preferable as excess fat can be detrimental to yield grade.

Efficiency traits: Dry Matter intake (DMI): Represents the average daily dry matter intake per day consumed in pounds. A negative or lesser value is more favorable. For example, Bull A has a DMI EPD of .15 and Bull B has a DMI EPD of -.20, so the progeny of Bull B consume, on average, .35 pound less dry matter per day than progeny from Bull A.

*Average Daily Gain (ADG): Difference in average daily gain in pounds based on an animal’s performance during a feed intake test period. *Residual Feed intake (RFI): Defined as the difference between an animal’s actual daily feed intake and its predicted daily intake based on growth rate and body size. Animals with a positive RFI value are deemed more inefficient because they consume more than expected while animals with a negative RFI value are considered more efficient because they consume less than expected.

Total Maternal (TM): An index that combines growth and milk information as a prediction of the weaning weight performance of calves from a sire’s daughters. As an index, this value is not reported with an accompanying accuracy. A greater TM value means a mother that returns comparatively higher weaning weights on her calves. TM Index = MK EPD + ½ WW EPD. Feeder Profit Index (FPI): An economic selection index designed to aid producers in selecting sires whose progeny will perform in the feedlot and are sold on grade and yield.

Well ranking sires for FPI have higher MB and CW than their contemporaries. As a terminal index, little emphasis is put on maternal traits such as ST and CE. Developmental Duplication (DD): is a simply inherited recessive genetic condition that can sometimes cause animals to be born with an extra limb or part of an extra limb.

This abnormality has incomplete penetrance meaning even a homozygous recessive animal, DD affected, may not express the condition.

However a DDA animal will pass on the recessive allele to every one of its offspring.

Gelbvieh% (BA#%): is the percentage Gelbvieh of the offspring that was contributed equally by the parents rounded down to the one-eighth.
