ANNUAL BULL SALE

WHERE PERFORMANCE IS BRED ON. NOT FED ON.

SIMMENTAL • SIMANGUS™ • ANGUS

Welcome to the Nelson Livestock Company Annual Simmental Bull Sale. It is the 50th year since the American Simmental Association was formed in the United States. There has been a lot of progress because of the performance minded people that have guided our association for these last 50 years. We are now moving into the IGS Multibreed Single-Step Powered by BOLT area. This is our new EPD that should have greater accuracy in the different traits equal to a cow producing 15-22 calves. Nelson Livestock Company has been selling Simmental bulls since 1974 by private treaty, joint sales, cooperator sales and our own spring bull sale. This is our 44th year selling Simmental bulls. We AI’ed out first Simmental semen in 1970 with calves being born in 1971 and many things have changed over time but cows have to be easy calving, breed back on time, raise a big calf, and be sound and have longevity in your environment. At Nelson Livestock Company our cowherd is handled like commercial cows. Sunday, April 8th, the bulls will be on display starting at 2:30. There will be a light supper at 5:00 and following that there will be a program featuring Wade Shafer and Marty Ropp. They will be discussing IGS Multi-breed Single-Step Powered by BOLT and the IGS Feeder Profit Calculator. All are welcome. Thank you and we hope to see you at the sale on Monday, April 9th. Thanks, The Nelson Crew

“Nelson Livestock Company where performance is bred on not fed on.”

If you haven’t taken the time to consider the Nelson Livestock genetics program, I would recommend that you do. Rare are programs that offer truly unique genetics, produced in an environment where the fittest and most adaptable cattle flourish and rest go to town. Because of those years of selection for cattle that work for a living and perform without extra supplementation, you can be assured they will last and help generate profits regardless of where they are asked to serve. There motto that the performance is “bred in and not fed on” is an everyday fact and not just a cliché. Unique genetics is one of the other factors that sets the Nelson program apart. Just drop back through the maternal pedigrees of the bulls offered here and you will see 5, 6, 7 or even more generations of NLC bred cows that thrived for the Nelsons and made the cowherd what it is today. Consistent selection for the best, along with the ones that were bred and fit didn’t always mean picking from the day’s popular AI sires, but it did help sort the wheat from the chaff and create long lines of productive females. I know of no more outcross set of Simmental genetics in this nation that offer the kind of genetic values and new options than you can find at the Nelson program. Don’t expect fat bulls, but expect great genetics and longevity from this outfit. I am looking forward once again to being part of the big day at NLC and this year on a new date. Monday April 9 is the scheduled day and I hope to see you many of you there. If you can’t make it to the ranch that day, please give any of us with the sale a call ahead of time or check out the offering on the web on the Superior Productions site. We always appreciate Superior’s help sale day and throughout the year with their industry leading feeder cattle marketing opportunities. Sincerely, Marty Ropp Allied Genetic Resources

82E is simply the outcross opportunity that so many folks have been searching for. It sometimes seems like when you do find an outcross bull, he just can’t cut it for quality and genetic value. Good news is that 82E is a stud. Blessed with muscle, volume, structural soundness and a wonderful foot and hoof, he checks all the boxes. Genetically he ranks above average for every trait among purebreds except fat thickness and YG and BOLT changes may remedy that. The result is a truly balanced EPD bull with top 25% or better rankings for 12 traits including a top 10% ranking for Maternal Calving Ease, ADG, STAY and $API. He’s homozygous black, homozygous polled and genomically verified to his outcross sire Progressive 40C who led of Nelson’s 2016 sale and is working at Kenner Simmental in North Dakota.

79E is the lead bull in a really good flush of 3 outcross purebreds. Sired by NLC Break Free who has been such an important and unique sire for so many including the Nelson’s, he has many of the very best and most productive females to work here in his pedigree. With breed improving values for Calving Ease, Birth Weight, Average Daily Gain, Stay REA and $API, he too represent the kind of outcross bull that isn’t just different, he’s really good! Physically he has a bit more frame and length and a level, correct profile with extra balance. Feet and structure too are right in line with the big country program promoted by NLC. He may not be the best of the flush ultimately, but he is the one that made the picture pen.

17E is one of the more phenotypically pleasing of all the Beacon sons to sell this spring. You can count on the Beacon progeny to offer breed leading calving ease, maternal traits and some of the best carcass traits in the beef industry, but this one has a bit more balance and look. He is easy to look at and excels for CE, BW, STAY Marbling, REA and both ranch profit indexes. He is really quiet natured too and has very good structure and feet.

If 17E is the beauty of the Beacon brothers, 34E is the beast! Deep and stout, he is blessed with extra thickness and base width. He’s not the “prettiest” bull in the sale, but he just might have the very best set of EPDs and the body type to make better cattle for tough conditions. At press time too he ranked in the top 10% or better among Purebreds for 12 different trait categories.

For breeders who have waited all season to find outcross genetics with genetic proof of value, 16E just adds another great choice to the NLC sale. Sired by the outcross purebred IR Zeus A718 and out of a first calf CCR Pathway daughter, he represents a fresh package of genetics that excels in all of the right traits to effect long term cost reduction and profit at the ranch, thus his top 1% ranking for $API.

NLC Cow Boss is going to have his coming out party with the progeny in this year’s sale and 118E is among the best, especially of the ¾ bloods. Again with a largely outcross pedigree, he is moderate and soft made but still has the extra muscling you will find in all of the Cow Boss sons. Homozygous black and homozygous polled, he is one of the highest ranking bulls in the sale for Maternal Calving Ease and STAY.

NLC COW BOSS 160C || SIRE OF LOTS 24-31.

43E is one of the highest performing and stoutest of the may Cow Boss sons. He is not hard to find. Both he and 40E will most likely make the first pen, but 43E is the one that came back Homozygous for both black and polledness. He is a mile long, super sound and has as good of a disposition as you will find. Across the board balance in his EPD profile and an outcross pedigree make him one to check out as well.

Don’t worry about the snow on his back in the photo, it was -25 wind chill that day and you won’t find any equipment around this ranch to blow and fluff one up with. 40E is just powerful with upper end performance and the body type to help him thrive in what ever environment you ask him to. He is NLC bred through and through with 6 generations of Nelson cows behind him tracing all the way back to Irish Black Knight and Mr Abondance.

152E was a bit of a mystery at first and so we did not get a photo back in Feb. With a little help from Geneseek however his pedigree is both certain and really good! Physically he is one of the favorites of the Cow Boss sons and his performance ratios are completely off the charts at almost every measure including his 199 ratio for IMF and 120 for REA! He will definitely be in the breeder bull pen on sale day.

104E is a big time heifer bull with a really pleasing and no holes phenotype. It is hard to decide which of the really good set of NLC Cow Boss sons is the best, but 104E is in the running. Top 1% for BW EPD and top 10% for $API.

98E is the most physically impressive of the Range Boss sons this year. You can’t miss him looking through the bulls. He has a wonderful combination of growth performance (WW Ratio 113) with great natural thickness, substance and at terrific profile. Structurally he offers the extra joint correctness and soundness that Range Boss sires time after time. He reminds me a lot of the Cow Boss bull when he sold only with a bit more size and growth. On the dam side, the Crossroads daughters are deep, sound footed and have really nice udders. Take a look through his balanced and growth leaning genetic values then evaluate his quality and he will definitely make your short list.

143E is a very good example of the kind that LRS Range Boss sires. Moderate and heavy muscled with a solid, balanced look and a lot of sale day weight. Range Boss was purchased to make moderate, “4 wheel drive” cattle for challenging range conditions and that is what his legacy will be at NLC and with their customers.

A little different twist in the first two generations of this bigger framed JC National son then backed with some of the best of the NLC cows on the bottom side including NLC 136X, the granddam of lot 1. A breed leader for STAY, Marbling and Profit, expect wonderful daughters with extra udder quality and longevity from 18E. He is heterozygous black and homozygous polled.

+179 $API and +88 $TI with solid phenotype and bit of extra balance and attractiveness, makes 159E a really nice package. Clear Progress really puts some birth to weaning spread in his calves with extra Stayabilty and a big boost for Marbling. The IGS Feeder Profit Calculator was designed for sons of bulls like this one.

72E brings a little different top side pedigree to a cow family that traces back on the ranch for many years. The females at NLC work for the Nelson’s and not the other way around. This Buddy son has a little more muscle thickness to offer, is stout ribbed and wide all the way down to the ground.

119E is a big, high performing blaze faced bull with a 107 WW ratio and will surely be one of the heaviest bulls come sale day. He has a unique pedigree for a white faced bull and is sired by the LBR Right Focus bull who entered service in 2010 at NLC and was still breeding cows last season. One of the most durable and dependable bulls to ever walk here. His influence will be around through his many daughters for years.

A little younger calf here, but one that has really performed well. Ratioing 107 for Birth Weight then 108 for WW is really impressive. Phenotypically he follows the great type and structure of the BDV Summits Peak sons that you will find several of in the catalog. They are really nice!

A NOTE FROM OUR NUTRITIONIST...

Nelson Livestock Company developed these bulls on a ration consisting primarily of high quality forages and fiber-based energy sources. They were never on a ration that consisted of more than 30% corn on a dry matter basis. A diet of highly digestible fiber provides energy and protein to build muscle and frame, allowing cattle to grow without getting overly conditioned. Bulls developed on these types of rations tend to have more longevity, are sounder on their feet and legs, and maintain body weights more efficiently when turned out on pasture, in contrast to cattle developed on high starch diets. Nelsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bulls are hard bodied, sound-footed, and set up to excel in any operation. This feeding program, coupled with the genetic history of Nelson Livestock Company, provides the opportunity for an investment in a herd sire which should have a positive impact for years to come.

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.

The impact of new sires is far longer than we usually consider. If they are still breeding cows in five seasons, the last calves will come in 2023. That means you should still have plenty of daughters into the mid 2030s! With that long term impact on your cow herd and industry changes that mean more dollars for genetically better calves, can anyone really afford to take chances? Use IGS EPDs to guarantee value! They are third party verified and backed by data from millions of individuals and the best in DNA genomic technology in the business.
