Lanting Enterprises – since 1972 Lanting Enterprises LLC is a family partnership owned and operated by three brothers: Jim, John and Bob Lanting. We are located in South Central Idaho approximately 20 miles south of Twin Falls and 20 miles north of Jackpot, Nevada. Our cattle graze on high mountain desert pasture developed to adjust to an average rain fall of approximately 9 inches of rain. Cattle survive on thousands of acres with minimal resources. Cattle graze out 6-7 months and are brought in, in the fall to graze off residue feed from irrigated fields of alfalfa, malt barley, wheat and corn. Cows must produce and breed back to stay in the herd. Cattle raised in this environment are rugged and strong footed. We raise our registered Simmental and SimAngus cows in the same environment as commercial cows. Calves are born in February – April. Calves are weaned in September-October with moderate weaning weights, 550-700 pounds, depending on the available feed. They are then placed on a growing ration with only corn silage and alfalfa hay. Adequate body condition lets these bulls go straight to work. Bulls and heifers are closely selected for growth, conformation, disposition, carcass quality, maternal traits and sound feet and legs. We are especially proud that we rank above the American Simmental Associations National average in calving ease, weaning weight, milk, marbling, API and TI. Private treaty of bulls begins in December. Bulls are fed free until April 15th with a $3.00 a day charge after that date. Bulls are fertility tested by March 15th unless needed earlier. All necessary tests will be done to facilitate the travel to different locations. Payment is decided as each agreement is made. We have developed a demand for selecting sight unseen bulls, however, I would rather you select your own. We look forward to seeing you at the ranch to see what we have to offer. Thanks

QUICK GUIDE
to ASA EPDs and $ INDEXES
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: All-Purpose Index (API): Dollars per cow exposed under an all-purpose-sire scenario. (See below for more details.) Back Fat (BF): Inches of backfat. 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. Maternal Calving Ease (MCE): Percent of unassisted births in first-calving daughters. Milk (MLK): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk. Marbling (MRB): Marbling score. Maternal Weaning Weight (MWW): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk and growth. Ribeye Area (REA): Square inches of ribeye. Warner-Bratzler Shear Force (WBSF): Pounds of force required to shear a steak. Stayability (STAY): Percent of daughters remaining in the cowherd at 6 years of age. Terminal Index (TI): Dollars per cow exposed under a terminal-sire scenario. (See below for more details.)
Weaning Weight (WW): Pounds of weaning weight. Yearling Weight (YW): Pounds of yearling weight. Yield Grade (YG): Yield grade score.
$ 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 allpurpose-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.
