Prickly Pear Simmental, SimAngus Sale 2015

PRICKLY PEAR SIMMENTAL RANCH INVITES YOU TO OUR ANNUAL BLACK & RED

SIMMENTAL • SIMANGUSTM SALE

Selling 75 Bulls FEBRUARY 7, 2015 • 1:00 PM HELENA, MONTANA

Dear Cattlemen, What a great year to be in the ranching business! This year’s bulls are again a great set for uniformity and thickness. We are for the first time not offering any heifers in the sale. We will be starting to offer bred females in the fall, mostly selling those that are bred after the first cycle. We are doing this so we can increase the number of bulls that are out of either top AI genetics or hand selected females bred to our top herd sires within the first cycle.

This year’s sale has 6 full embryo sibs out of our powerful ER Black Cisco donor and the great AI sire Ellingson Legacy M229 (Olie). As a group they averaged 799 lbs coming off the recipient cows on September 1st.There is also a pair of embryo brothers out of our SRS J914 Preferred Beef donor and Ellingson Blazer X37.They both weighed over 800 lbs on September 1st weaning date. Again I have Sitz Emblazon 9598 bulls that are at the top of the sale offering.

We are slowly growing our fall herd, so you will start to see more of them.This year there are only two of them. My favorite, a 9598 son, is one of the best bulls I have ever raised! He impressed me in the way he grew. From birth to a year of age he had no grain and then in November we put him on 5 lbs a day. He weighed 1506 by December 26th.

We are also offering 11 hand selected 2 year old bulls that are fed very little grain as calves.

They are then turned out on pasture until November and then fed only hay until sale day.

The Lot 3 bull is the only bull in the offering that was in last year’s sale. After being sold, he was never paid for and was too good to not keep over.

Here at Prickly Pear we strive for longevity in our bulls. I have developed a program based on a 3 lb a day gain so the bulls develop at a nice easy pace to insure good feet and legs for many years of work.

We use our new herd sires extensively as a yearling, then back off as a two year old until we see how their progeny performs. Our Ellingson Blazer X37 bull went through last year with hardly any calves in the sale. His daughters are now in production and are great! This year he has 9 sons in the sale. Montana King is now in that stage and is really performing well so look for lots of his sons in next year’s sale!

Just a reminder there will be updated data, sale order, scrotal and ultrasound results available on sale day. The phones got a little crazy last year so we now have DVAuction on board for real time internet bidding and live ring video. There are no fees and it’s easy to sign up.

I look forward to seeing everyone on sale day.

Sincerely,Troy Wheeler Cattle Manager

NEW CUSTOMERS For those of you that are new customers I just want to go over a few goals we strive for: #1 is disposition. I see a lot of people now are putting disposition codes in their catalogs. We take great pride in the disposition of our cattle, so you can assume they’re all very docile unless noted by us. #2 is retaining the growth while improving everything else we all want - calving ease, smaller birth weights, moderate frame size, good udders, feet, etc. Growth is one of Simmentals best assets. Some people are concentrating on birth weights so hard they are losing the growth advantage. #3 We concentrate more on calving ease and maternal calving ease than birth weights. All the bulls in the sale were unassisted at birth. #4 We also look at individual performance more than growth EPDs. The EPDs will change if the animal has the performance, but the animal won’t always perform just because he’s got good EPDs. For those of you that have never actually weighed a calf I urge you to do so a few times. I think you’ll be surprised. Every time we have visitors I make them guess and they are usually about 15 pounds light!

RETAINED SEMEN INTEREST The bull buyer will receive full possession, 100% salvage value, and 2/3 semen interest of any bull purchased in this sale (unless otherwise noted). This means we are retaining a 1/3 semen interest in these bulls. This semen interest is a royalty interest that entitles Prickly Pear Simmental Ranch to 1/3 of the revenues of any semen sold. PPSR semen interest remains even if the bull or any interest in the bull is sold to a third party. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure that PPSR’s interest is upheld if semen is ever sold.

The buyer must also inform any third party of PPSR’s interest if the bull is ever sold. PPSR will not be responsible for expense related to semen collection or promotion of any bull purchased, unless a mutual agreement is reached prior to semen collection or promotion. Our retained semen interest also includes the right to collect semen on the bull at our expense and the buyer’s convenience.

ACTUAL SCROTAL MEASUREMENTS We do not believe in adjusted yearling scrotal measurements, therefore, all scrotal measurements are actual figures. Actual measurements will be taken on January 27, 2015. All bulls under 30 centimeters will be sifted regardless of age. The bull’s testicular size is an early indicator of puberty, which is passed on to their sons and daughters. Bulls with larger testicles service more cows and produce more semen, plus their daughter’s cycle at an earlier age and have a higher conception rate.

All bulls are measured, palpated and fertility tested by Dr. Deidre Loendorf-Ask,DVM prior to sale.

The scrotal measurements will be on a supplement sheet along with the carcass data.

Most testicular growth occurs from nine to twelve month of age. Remember to consider the age of the calf on January 27 when using these measurements.

SUGGESTED MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES FOR YEARLING BULLS We are believers in the use of yearling bulls and feel it is one of the best years of their lives. It’s a time when the bulls are easy to manage and their only concern is breeding cows. We have found that yearling bulls that are managed carefully during the second year of their lives not only do well, but they will also perform better over time.

Below are some suggested guidelines for the care of yearling bulls: 1. Upon delivery to your ranch, keep yearling bulls separate from older bulls. Feed the yearling bulls a maintenance ration of 5-8 lbs. per head of grain and free choice hay. Reduce grain feed gradually so they are on straight hay or grass 2-4 weeks prior to breeding season.

2. When possible, try to limit the bulls to 45-60 days of pasture service the first year. At this time, or as soon as possible, remove the bulls to put them in separate pastures with plenty of good, quality grass.

3. It is best to feed yearling bulls separate from older bulls until after their second breeding season. This allowes them to achieve the growth and strength necessary to compete with older bulls for feed and space.

You will see the benefits of a litttle added cost and care of feeding a yearling bull by probably two or three more years of service from a well managed and healthy bull.

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-purposesire 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 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.
