Fellow Cattleman,

It is a true privilege and an honor to write this letter addressing the Kearns Cattle Company 29th Annual Bull Sale! Over the past three years we have had the opportunity to work with the Kearns Family assisting in the marketing aspect of their program. There is no question that this is a family operation that is self-sufficient. The cattle business is their business! Extensive technology and advancements in genetics of the cowherd have allowed Tom and Zach to improve their product for their customers year after year! This past year has been a big year for the Kearns family. The long hours and late nights in the calving barn, and critical decisions made during breeding season paid off; as their hard work was rewarded when their pen of purebred bulls were crowned the 2018 NWSS Grand Champion Pen of Three Bulls. This is an honor that the Kearns family has won 3 of the last 5 years at the â€œSuper Bowlâ€? of cattle shows! The cowherd that backs this offering has been carefully assembled for the key production traits, such as; structural integrity, mothering ability, fertility, disposition, and fleshing ability. Emphasis on cow families is extremely important to the future of Kearns Cattle Company, with proven females being placed into their intense embryo transfer program in order to generate many daughter to be placed back into the herd and full brothers to be offered to their bull customers in order to improve consistency, uniformity, and ultimately your bottom line! Strong emphasis is also placed on sire selection, with a strong AI program that utilizes many of the top AI sires in the country, and followed by an impressive on site bull battery! The bulls have been through a stringent selection process in order to make the catalog; as the bulls are culled for imperfections relating to feet and leg structure, performance, docility, and fertility. Kearns Cattle Company develops their bulls right at the ranch on a high roughage ration in order to allow the bulls to properly develop and grow without sacrificing their functionality of skeleton. The bulls are expected to gain 3+ lbs. a day on this ration. The Kearns Family offers very few females for sale, as a large number are retained in the constant quest to improve the cowherd. A select few females are hand selected and offered for sale each fall and marketed through The Event female sale the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Consider this your invitation to join the pre-sale preview and social from 1-5 PM MST on Wednesday the 7th of March. Then plan to join us for lunch, good conversation, and the 29th Annual Kearns Cattle Company Annual Bull Sale at 1 pm MST on Thursday, March 8th! In the event that you cannot make the sale or have any questions please do not hesitate to contact any of the Innovation AgMarketing sale management team regarding the sale offering. Videos and sale order will be available online at DVAuction.com prior to the sale. Enjoy the Cattle,

The Innovation AgMarketing Management Team

29TH ANNUAL BULL SALE

Selection Tools

A GUIDE TO EXPECTED PROGENY DIFFERENCES Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs): EPDs are the most accurate and effective tool available for comparing genetic levels. In using EPDs, the difference between two sires’ EPDs represents the unit difference expected in the performance of their progeny. For example, if sires A and B have EPDs of +10 and –5, a 15-unit difference would be expected in their progeny (moving from -5 to +10 yields 15 units). Key to using EPDs is knowing what units they are expressed in. For example, if the above case referred to weaning weight EPDs, A would be expected to sire 15-pounds more weaning weight than B. If calving ease were the trait, A would be expected to sire 15-percent more unassisted births in first-calf heifers; in other words, if B sired 30 assists in a group of 100 heifers, we’d expect A to require 15 assists. A percentile-ranking chart is required to determine where a bull’s EPDs rank him relative to other bulls in the breed. For percentile rankings or more detailed information about EPDs and $ indexes visit www. simmental.org. Listed below are the units ASA EPDs are expressed in: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Calving Ease (CE): Percent of unassisted births when used on heifers. Birth Weight (BW): Pounds of birth weight. Calving Ease (CE): Percent of unassisted births when used on heifers. Weaning Weight (WW): Pounds of weaning weight. Yearling Weight (YW): Pounds of yearling weight. Maternal Calving Ease (MCE): Percent of unassisted births in first-calving daughters. Milk (MLK): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk. Maternal Weaning Weight (MWW): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk and growth. Stayability (STAY): Percent of daughters remaining in the cowherd at 6 years of age. Carcass Weight (CW): Pounds of carcass weight. Yield Grade (YG): Yield grade score. Marbling (MRB): Marbling score. Back Fat (BF): Inches of backfat. Ribeye Area (REA): Square inches of ribeye. All-Purpose Index (API): Dollars per cow exposed under an all-purpose-sire scenario. (See below for more details.) Terminal Index (TI): Dollars per cow exposed under a terminal-sire scenario. (See below for more details.)

$ Indexes: Though EPDs allow for the comparison of genetic levels for many economically important traits, they only provide a piece of the economic puzzle. That’s where $ indexes come in. Through well- conceived, rigorous mathematical computation, $ indexes blend EPDs and economics to estimate an animal’s overall impact on your bottom line. The same technology that led to the dramatic progress in swine, poultry and dairy genetics over the last several decades was used to develop the following $ indexes: All-Purpose Index (API): Evaluates sires for use on the entire cow herd (bred to both Angus first-calf heifers and mature cows) with the portion of their daughters required to maintain herd size retained and the remaining heifers and steers put on feed and sold grade and yield. Terminal Index (TI): Evaluates sire for use on mature Angus cows with all offspring put on feed and sold grade and yield. Using API and TI: First, determine which index to use; if you’re keeping replacements use API, if not, TI. Then, just as with EPDs, zero in on the unit difference between bulls. (As described above, index units are in dollars per cow exposed.) The difference can be used to determine how much a bull is worth compared to another. Or, put another way, how much you can pay for one bull compared to another. For example, when buying an all-purpose-type sire, you can quickly figure a bull scoring +100 for API is worth an extra $6,000 over a +50 bull if both are exposed to 30 cows over 4 years ($50 diff. x 30 hd. x 4 yr. = $6,000). A percentile-ranking chart is required to determine where a bull’s index value ranks him relative to other bulls in the breed. For percentile rankings or more detailed information about EPDs and $ indexes visit www.simmental.org.

Champion Pen of Three Simmental Bulls

2018 National Western Stock Show

The Hammer Sire Group

What a way to kick start the 2018 Bull Sale with none other than a direct son of the most influential donor dam to ever walk the pastures of Rushville, Nebraska. Dolly has been a dominant producer with several sons working in top herds across the country. She has been the dam or grandam to two different pens of bulls that have won the coveted title of Grand Champion Pen of Three Purebreds at the National Western Stock Show. This pair of full brothers, sired by the breed leading, Hammer, have withstood the expectations that come with every mating from the great Dolly. Escalade is certainly fitting of the lot 1 role, and we couldnĂ?t be more excited about the impact that he will have on the breed, much like his full and maternal brothers have had. A full brother to the $100,000 Cannon, $70,000 Hudson Pines Herd Sire; Classified, and maternal brother to the $33,000 Carver, and $32,000 Certified. He was a member of the 2018 Grand Champion Pen of Three Purebred, in what top cattleman have claimed to be one of the most competitive pen shows in recent years. A true sale feature and arguably the most complete, fault free son that Dolly has ever produced!

These two impressive individuals that are  out of the famed “Dolly” may be different in the way they are constructed, but one thing remains constant, the cattle are fundamentally built right from the ground up. Cannon was the softer bodied, smoother fronted of the two brothers. He commanded an impressive $100,000 figure to the Cannon group and has been used on some of the breed’s most elite cows. 695E is a big ribbed, soft flanked bull that offers structural soundness with the right amount of power and shape!

Here is a pair of full brothers to KCC1 Estelle, the high selling female in The Event last November, which topped the sale at $30,000. Sired by Bottomline, and out of the up and coming matriarch, “Victoria.” This pair of bulls is stout, with the added eye-appeal, athleticism, and pattern that we strive to produce.
