Greatbeef Lakes connection March 10, 2018 || 1:00 pm et JC Simmentals Sale Facility, Clare, MI

Welcome to the Sale

The families at Great Lakes Beef Connection welcome you to the 8th Annual Bull Sale. The bulls look great and we have done our best to feed the bulls with the end goal in mind. Please take the time to read our nutritionist’s letter on how the bulls are developed and how we strive to not sell fat bulls yet feed them enough to get accurate data. Two big things in 2018: first we DNA (Genomically Tested) the bulls in the sale to give you, the buyer, yet another tool to help make your bull selections. You will see under the bull’s pedigree “Genomic enhanced EPDs.” Second, we have DNA tested our complete cow herds, bred heifers, open heifers and all herd bulls. Our goal in doing this is to give our customer the best and most accurate data available. We will blend that with the common sense “cow-sense” we have learned over the years. Our families have made a significant financial investment in doing this with the end goal of HOW DO WE HELP OUR CUSTOMERS SUCCEED? We want to be your full service genetic provider. We are dedicated to you and the seedstock business. Thank you for your interest in our programs and a special thank you to all of our past customers. Please feel free to call, text or email with any questions you may have. Our open house is Saturday, March 3, 2018 from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. Hope to see you March 10th.

Blessings, Andy, Jim and John The 2018 Great Lakes Beef Connection sale is just around the corner and this is absolutely the best set of bulls they have ever offered. Progressive breeders just find a way to make upgrades year after year and these folks continue to breed and produce ultra-valuable seedstock, including some of the very best SimAngus and Simmental bulls made anywhere in this nation. I realize that central Michigan is not the easiest place to get to unless you are from Michigan. The growing number of folks who make the trip here however are always impressed and more Michigan beef producers each year are finding and taking advantage of the serious quality available this close to home. If like so many, you are searching for cattle with striking phenotype and top end profit genetics, please seriously evaluate this offering. Industry leading calving ease, high growth and carcass along with some of the best maternal genetics anywhere are what you can expect to find all throughout the catalog. These folks have worked hard to make cattle that look great and perform even better. The John Miller Family

You will also find the Miller, Zinser, Salinas and Harris families as accommodating and easy to work with as any in this business. They are truly proud of what they produce and service their customers in the same way they would want to be treated. Great help from sale day through delivery and after purchase service is what you can expect. Give them a call about long-range delivery details too. In past years they have sent bulls from the mountain west to the gulf coast and have great customers in so many states. These folks have found the value available in Michigan and come back year after year. Beyond that, they are just great people and I am glad to call them friends and not just clients. On behalf of everyone involved with Great Lakes Beef Connection and Allied Genetic Resources, please consider this a personal invitation to come and enjoy the day in Clare Michigan if you possibly can. If not, give one of us a call or participate through our sale broadcast on dvauction.com. This is a set of bulls that are absolutely worth your time. Sincerely,

A Note from Our Nutritionist... I have created the nutrition program for the bulls in the Great Lakes Beef Connection sale for the past 6 years and continue to be impressed by the quality and consistency of the cattle. Our development program is designed with functionality in mind. The ration system is designed to target a 3.00 lb/day of lean gain up to sale day. As a testament to the efficiency of these cattle, the bulls always exceed the predicted performance by a wide margin. In fact, we must be in constant contact to ensure the bulls are maintained in appropriate body condition. We are constantly vigilant to help prevent the bulls from becoming over-conditioned. Following the sale, the ration program is designed to harden young bulls for breeding to ensure they will not lose substantial body condition on pasture. This system is designed to produce a set of bulls that will work in the pasture and have the longevity cattlemen demand. I welcome any questions regarding the nutritional program provided to the bulls in this sale. DAN LARSON, PHD || GREAT PLAINS LIVESTOCK CONSULTING || 402-560-4052

CCR Spartan is proving once again that you can have it all! Every calf he sires shares his striking phenotype and he stamps progeny with breed leading growth, DOCILITY, maternal weaning weight and marbling to boot. We feel like Spartan just might be the very best son of the great CCR Apple donor to date.

ASA Quick Reference to EPDs, Indexes and $Values

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 in what units they are expressed. For example, if the above case referred to weaning weight EPDs, sire A would be expected to sire 15 pounds more weaning weight than sire B. If calving ease was the trait, sire A would be expected to sire 15 percent more unassisted births in first-calf heifers; in other words, if sire B sired 30 assists in a group of 100 heifers, we would expect sire 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 more detailed information about EPDs and $ indexes, visit www.simmental.org. Listed below are the units in which ASA EPDs are expressed: ALL-PURPOSE INDEX (API): Dollars per cow exposed under an all-purpose-sire scenario. (See $ Indexes for more details.) BACK FAT (BF): Inches of carcass backfat at 475 days. BIRTH WEIGHT (BW): Pounds of birth weight. CALVING EASE (CE): Percent of unassisted births when used on heifers. CARCASS WEIGHT (CW): Pounds of carcass weight at 475 days. STAYABILITY (STAY): Percent of daughters remaining in the cowherd at 6 years of age. DOCILITY (DOC): Percent of offspring receiving a disposition score of 1 (docile). MATERNAL CALVING EASE (MCE): Percent of unassisted births in first-calving daughters. MILK (MLK): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk. MARBLING (MARB): Carcass marbling score at 475 days. MATERNAL WEANING WEIGHT (MWW): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk and growth. RIBEYE AREA (REA): Square inches of carcass ribeye at 475 days. TERMINAL INDEX (TI): Dollars per cow exposed under a terminal-sire scenario. (See TI for more details.) WEANING WEIGHT (WW): Pounds of weaning weight. YEARLING WEIGHT (YW): Pounds of yearling weight. YIELD GRADE (YG): Carcass yield grade score at 475 days. $ INDEXES: Though EPDs allow for the comparison of genetic levels for many economically important traits, they only provide pieces of the economic puzzle. This is where $ indexes come in. Through well-conceived, rigorous mathematical computation, $ indexes blend EPDs and economics to estimate an animal’s overall impact on integrated commercial production. 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 sires 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 are keeping replacements use API, if not, use 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. 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 more detailed information about EPDs and $indexes, visit: www.simmental.org

Important disclaimer: DO NOT compare index values of purebreds of different breeds, hybrids of different breed composition or purebreds with hybrids — our system was not developed to make valid comparison among these groups. Therefore, you must first determine the breed and breed composition appropriate for your herd and use index values to compare animals within that population.

Bull Buying Simplified By Marty Ropp

If you are among the many out there who feel as if it is becoming more difficult to identify the genetics you need to move forward and make more profit, hopefully the following words will be of help. There is little doubt that the amount of information that is presented to bull buyers these days can get a tick much to evaluate thoroughly, especially when you only use that information a couple of days each year. The good news is that if you are becoming overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of data presented at bull buying time, then your genetic supplier is collecting and using the most up to date tools to improve the genetics you are hoping to benefit from. That is absolutely their job! Part of their responsibility then is also to present that information in an easy to use fashion and help provide service, answers to your questions and even education regarding the data they present. Here are a few simple tips to make your decisions at bull buying time a little easier. 1. Where you buy and who you buy from is as important as which bulls you purchase. Reputation, warrantee, genetic program, service options and proper bull development are all crucial to consider before you choose where to purchase. If a breeder is doing a great job improving their genetic product year after year, your herd will absolutely move in the same direction as theirs almost regardless of which bulls you choose to use. Unfortunately the opposite is also the case. Therefore, the last bull in the sale still has to offer genetic improvement or they shouldn’t be selling it to their customers. So buy from folks who offer value from top to bottom, coupled with great service and you won’t make mistakes. 2. Prioritize EPDs over raw data. EPDs are simply the best estimate available of a young bull’s value. I know it is hard to break old habits, but the predictive value of a Weaning Weight EPD is so much better than the calf’s actual weaning weight it is not even funny. These EPDs consider the genetics of every ancestor, the actual weight comparisons of the calf crop and even the DNA information in some cases. That is a lot of good stuff in one number, so just cross off the raw weights…if you can. 3. Use the indexes to simplify your decision making. Most breeds now offer $Value indexes to help you choose genetics. Choose the right index (All Purpose, Terminal, etc.) and these values can be a great guide to getting in the right pen of bulls for your program. If you are unsure of the “best” index values to look at, ask your genetic supplier or professional for help. Once you choose which index to rank your choices, go out into that group of bulls and pick the ones you prefer for soundness, muscling, disposition, testicle size and all of the other traits you need in your operation. Don’t misunderstand, I would never say the highest $ value index bull is absolutely the best bull, but choosing from the bulls that offer leading or above average profit potential just makes good sense. Avoid bulls with poor index values, no matter how good they might look to avoid the big genetic wrecks down the line. 4. Ask for assistance. Most of us would never buy a combine, seed, feed or fertilizer without being fully educated or employing expertise in the process. Genetic decisions too have long term profit implications. Your genetic supplier is absolutely supposed to be your partner in this process. Get their input when you can or work with someone who makes genetic decisions every day to leverage their experience and expertise in the process. Genetics are becoming higher priced, so make an extra effort to take home great value for your investment. If you have more questions, feel free to give me a call at 406-581-7835 or drop me an email mropp@alliedgeneticresources.com.

More than just a bull...

•

In 2028 a substantial share of the 2-7 year old cows are daughters of the bulls purchased 10 years before. In the year 2036 there are still a few 11 and 12 year old daughters in your herd sired by the 2018 purchased bulls. In the year 2036 the granddaughters and great granddaughters of the bulls purchased 18 years ago still make up a substantial portion of the genetics of your herd.

By Marty Ropp

•

I’m just buying a bull….right?

•

Most of us don’t really believe that, yet the gravity of the decisions associated with selecting the next generation of seed stock may be greater than you first think. All of us consider the calves these bulls might sire and the value they should return to the ranch. Most consider pricing bulls based on a projection of years of service hopefully 4-8 years barring injury and the calf performance we might expect them to sire. If you don’t keep your own replacement heifers, this makes some sense. If like most you keep females, the long term effects of this year’s buying decisions on ranch profitability may not be quite as obvious until we break it down based on the long term maternal value traits we are purchasing.

I know, most of us don’t like to think about the year 2036. Seems like the Bi-Centennial was just a few years ago... If however your plans are to keep or make the beef business an important part of your families livelihood as far out as 2036, which most of us do, the bulls you purchase this year will still be an important piece of the profits you enjoy or the challenges you are still working through nearly 20 years from now. Sire selection is that important, so use all the tools available to make the best decisions you can every time!

Let’s assume your operation purchases 4 bulls this coming spring of 2018. • • • • •

First calves born in spring of 2019 First daughters calving in spring of 2021 (First granddaughters calve in 2023) With any luck at 2 or more of these bulls are still breeding at age 7 (2024) Last calves born sired by these bulls in 2025 Last calf crop females have their first calves in 2027 (Their first daughters calve in 2029)

So, if you would like to see a snap-shot of your cow herd 10-20 years from now in 2036, you need only spend some time with the seedstock herd you purchase bulls from. With the exception of a few differences created by environment, what you see is where you are headed! The size, disposition, body condition, udders, feet, calving ease, fertility, longevity, etc of your future cow herd is right there to see. Not just the mature cows either, make sure you look at the 2 and 3 year olds too and consider the direction your source is moving. That is why it is so crucial to choose a seedstock source that is headed where you want and need to be.
