Wilkinson Gelbvieh 2017 Private Treaty Bull Sale

Wilkinson Gelbvieh has been breeding Gelbvieh cattle since 1986. From the very beginning, we have strived to raise cattle that are functional in all three phases of the cattle industry - cow/calf, feedlot and rail. We have emphasized structure, udder quality, calving ease, performance and temperament. We use AI extensively, as well as ET, so that our cattle can be compared with all Gelbvieh/Balancer cattle throughout the US. We feel that when all things are equal, our cattle will match up with anybody’s of any breed.

Our cattle come from an environment that currently requires 150 acres/cow.

With all types of terrain and forage, these tough conditions cull out the “weak and poor.” We make no apologies for this; instead, we believe that it results in a superior product.

The bulls have been developed at home this year in a 3 acre trap. As such, they have had lots of room to travel and have been walked through and handled on a regular basis. All bulls are PI-BVD free and have been ultrasounded, PAP tested, certified as Trich-free and passed a breeding soundness exam. Supplement sheets with PAP scores, scrotal measurements, ultrasound data and any other updates will be available the week prior to the Kick-Off Saturday.

Bulls will be eligible to go anywhere in the United States. If you cannot take them right away, we will work with you to keep them around here a little longer, at a minimal charge. If you want to take them on Saturday, health and brand papers will be ready to go. We will work with each of you to get the bulls to your place.

Guarantees: • Sight Unseen Purchases are Guaranteed - “If you don’t like ‘em, you don’t take ‘em!”

• Bulls are guaranteed for one Breeding Season or one year, whichever comes first. (Disclaimer - Negligence voids guarantee) Note: Wilkinson will retain 1/3 semen interest on all sale bulls. If any bull shows potential for AI use, we would like to collect and market his semen, at the buyer’s convenience.

Wilkinson Gelbvieh 2017 Private Treaty Bull Sale

It’s that time again!

Almost 20 years ago, we were selling our bulls by private treaty with a special Saturday to start things off. In 2014, we returned to that format and have really enjoyed it! We think our customers do, too.

Saturday, March 25, 2017 Kick off Saturday Wilkinson Gelbvieh Ranch Private Treaty Sale Videos of all bulls can also be viewed at www.DVAuction.com

10:00 am until Noon - view bulls Noon – lunch provided 1:00 pm – Bid off *** Contact Numbers: 719-846-7910 (Home) 719-680-0462 (Bill) • 719 680-0451 (Nancy) 719-680-7910 (Sydney) *** This “bid-off” is not an auction – simply a very low-key way for individuals to compete against other to get the bull(s) they want.

Basically, each bull will have a floor price posted and we will go through each bull, one by one. Anyone interested in the bull at that price will indicate that interest with a raised hand. If more than one person is interested, we will increase the price incrementally, until only one hand is left in the air, and, at that time, the bull will be declared sold. We will be including bids over the phone, as well as bids left prior to the Sale.

“NEW AND IMPROVED” GELBVIEH / BALANCER EPDS What they mean to YOU The American Gelbvieh Association’s (AGA) EPD’s are now based on a new collaborative national cattle evaluation (NCE) with the American Simmental Association (ASA). With this collaboration, we are now on the same base with Simmental and Red Angus.

• EPDs for Gelbvieh, Balancer®, Simmental, SimAngus, and Red Angus can be directly compared to one another, • Calving Ease and Calving Ease Daughters EPDs reflected as percentages of unassisted births, • True multi-breed EPDs provide more complete Balancer EPDs, • Growth traits are more reliable with wider age window for weaning weight, • Carcass traits are standardized to an age-adjusted endpoint like the rest of the industry.

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.

Milk (Milk): 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.

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 expected difference, in pounds, for yearling weight (adjusted to a standard 365 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to yearling.

CARCASS TRAITS

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

Carcass weight (CW): Differences 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.

NOTE - With our limited space, we did not include ALL EPD’s and indexes, nor did we include each bull’s EPD accuracy. Because these bulls are young and un-tested, most of their accuracies are fairly low and based on their parent’s accuracies. This additional information is available on the AGA website, by searching by registration number OR using your smart phone, to scan the individual’s QR code, which will take you straight to their full pedigree INDEXES - Indexes are tools that allow you to select for several EPDs at once, making selections more efficient than selecting on one trait at a time. Indexes weigh traits based on their importance to a producer’s bottom line by using a trait’s economic and genetic value.

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.

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 marbling and carcass weight than their contemporaries. As a terminal index, little emphasis is put on maternal traits such as stayability and calving ease.

A bull that sums up years of our breeding program -- going all the way back 5 generations to our old Nutmeg cow, on top and bottom. Very complete, moderate sized. A good, no holes type of bull - above average in 10 of the 14 EPD and Index traits. There are 8 half brothers in the Sale, so if you want to put a strong bull battery together, take a look a these BNW Gunner sons. They are all pretty distinctive in their type, performance and mass.

Heifer bull. An exceptional bull on paper to go along with a really nice phenotype. He’s in the top 2% for CED and 25% for WW and 15% for YW, so he will give you small calves, that wean heavy. His CW, REA and Marbling are all in top 30%, as well. 6106 is a really complete bull that could be used on heifers and will still give you some gas at weaning.

This bull is in the top 10% for CED and in the top 30% for WW and YW, so his calves will come easy and grow. And, with an FPI in the top 15%, they will make a great end product. On his cow side, his mama is a great young Balancer female (Styles Upgrade) from a great cow family. This calf is pretty special, in the way he blends his dimension and eye appeal together. A true herd bull who could be used on heifers.

THE Heifer bull of the Sale. Out of an 11 year old cow, so we have a lot of consistency all the way around. (The cow is actually Lot 21’s grandmother!) He is in the top 1% for BW, CE and CEM, yet still has some mass and muscle.

KALEIDOSCOPE

Dam is a 12 year old cow and this is, by far, her best calf. In fact, this may be the best bull in the Sale. Tremendous balance, length and explosive thickness. Axel sired cattle bring those traits and, obviously, his dam will bring longevity. Don’t miss this calf.

Probably one of the highest volume bulls in the Sale. He’s a little different bred on the bottom side. Dam is a beautifully uddered female, that is a little bit of an outcross to the other bulls in the sale. His carcass EPD’s show that this guy’s calves should be “end product” champions!
