HOW TO UTILIZE EPDS IN YOUR BULL SELECTION See page 27 Thank you to our Sale Sponsors 2
Welcome to the 2023 edition of the Cutting Edge Bull Sale. It was a great relief to receive moisture last summer and see the bale yard full. This year’s bulls come to you as usual, fit and ready to breed. Both Angus & Simmental bulls come from low maintenance cows and are developed on oats and a cereal silage ration. The extra age bulls are just that, born in April and May & designed to be born then. They are not leftovers from last year. Now with regards to birth weight I get it, a live calf is better than no calf, but a 700 pound steer vs a 600 pound steer is $200.00 Yes, the most I want to do is watch a heifer calve not help her, so a bull with a birth weight under 85 pounds and a low BW EPD is necessary. However, after her first calf it’s time to produce & that’s when a bull with some performance is needed, Angus or Simmental. Now birth weight doesn’t mean everything, it’s how the calf is built. A long bodied calf will always weigh more, and so will a calf born in January or February, as we feed our cows harder to maintain condition as they are asked to rebreed in late March & April. All Bar 17 bulls were born unassisted and none needed assistance anytime after birth. Buy with confidence, bulls we feel are heifer friendly are just that, 90 pound + birth weight bulls will calve just fine on second calvers and mature cows.
Whether you prefer Angus or Simmental, the breeds compliment each other extremely well. We all know cross breeding is most profitable and that’s one reason we offer both.
We thank you for your support both past and present in our program. We encourage you to come view the bulls anytime prior to the sale & if we can be of assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Ponoka, AB
We invite you to join us for our annual bull sale. Again this year we are utilizing the great facility at the Rimbey Agrim where you can view the bulls indoors right next to the sale ring. We have a very consistent set of bulls in the 2022 offering that will help ensure you get your share of the profit from the cattle industry. We research and select the top genetics that will continually improve our cowherd, which in turn gives us the opportunity to offer you some of the best Angus genetics available.
We will make every effort we can to have all the bulls semen tested just prior to the sale, which has been successful the past couple of years. However, as this sale takes place when most of the bulls are just over 12 months age and our weather can be unpredictably cold it can be difficult to predict the weather at catalogue print timeso far in advance when putting the catalogue together, therefore, the bulls may need to return to the farm after the sale for semen testing when they have matured more and the weather is more favorable.
If you have any questions or wish to view the bulls ahead of time on the farm, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to seeing you!
MATEJKA Calving Ease Selection Tool
Calving ease is often related to birthweight of a bull, this is partly true, but there are other factors that influence calving ease. The dam and her management are at least 50% of calving ease. Take into consideration your own cow herd genetic and feeding practices. The calving ease score (CE) is our best estimation based on genetics, EPD’s, Actual BW and body shape of each bull. The CE score can be found on the right column of their stats box.
HHHH Likely to have a high level of calving ease based on sire and dam history, BW, and EPD equation.
HHH Should be comfortable when bred to moderate size heifers.
HH Recommended for second calvers or cows
H Recommend for mature cows
MATEJKA BULLS picked up on sale day or prior to March 15, 2023 at the farm will receive $100 DISCOUNT sale day OR $200 SALE CREDIT to the 2024 sale.
PREVIEW THE BULLS
We encourage you to call us to view the bulls ANYTIME UP UNTIL SALE DAY. OR - Join us to view our bulls at our farm

Our bulls are comparable in genetics and performance as they are raised in similar surroundings and management. Our Cutting Edge bulls are selected from over 50 bulls retained from a 200 head cow herd base. The sale bulls are pail fed, leading them to be docile, while maintaining their soundness and activity in a large group.
The feeding program has remained the same. The home raised, rolled oat based ration (with mineral pack from Bullseye Feeds) at about 1% body weight and good free choice hay, has allowed our bulls to perform, grow and mature at reasonable rates with their future in mind.

EPD’s - An Effective Tool To Assist Your Bull Buying Decisions
This does not making buying a bull any easier – it should only give you more confidence in realizing what the animal can contribute. EPD’s are a pedigree estimate that can help you navigate management and environmental conditions. Keep in mind that it is still a 50/50 contribution between the bull and the female.
2023 CANADIAN BLACK ANGUS BREED AVERAGES
EPD’s Definition
NOTE: BREED AVERAGES CANNOT BE COMPARED between Red & Black Angus, nor can they be compared between other breeds of cattle.
These are the Average EPDS throughout the breed. The Lower the % means above average EPD!
(NOTE: 1% is GOOD, 50% is Average)
2023 CANADIAN RED ANGUS BREED AVERAGES
BW - BIRTHWEIGHT WW - WEANING WEIGHT YW - YEARLING WEIGHT MILK (important if keeping daughters)
pounds of birth weight the lower the EPD number, the lighter the calves (the lower the % is good)
pounds of weaning weight the higher the EPD number, the more pounds will be weaned (the lower the % is good)
To use EPDs effectively you must understand how they work. Keeping in mind that you cannot compare EPD numbers between breeds or even between Red Angus and Black Angus
The EPD Averages listed below are the average of all the registered Canadian Black Angus and all the Canadian Red Angus. To use EPDs effectively you must understand how they work.
Example:
Imagine you are interested in purchasing a couple of bulls for your herd.
You are looking at the EPDs in a sale catalogue. Bull A has a weaning weight EPD of +10 and Bull B has a weaning weight of +60. What does that mean? How can you use the EPDs to choose between the two bulls?
If these animals were randomly mated with 10 similar cows, we would expect the group average weaning weight of Bull A’s offspring to be 50 lbs lighter than that of Bull B’s (60-10=50).
pounds of yearling weight the higher the EPD number the more pounds as a yearling (the lower the % is good)
pounds of calf weaned by a bull’s daughters. (the higher the EPD number combined with WW EPD should increase weaning pounds) A management number with reflection of the environment and feed resources.
EPD Black Angus BW 0.4 with a 16% - should offer better calving ease than the average of 2.1 (50%), and the EPD Black Angus YW 116 at 4% should produce higher Yearling Weights that are above the average of 89 (50%).
It would be easier if we could assume that the highest EPDs are the best. Unfortunately, it isn’t that simple. Like most decisions, using EPDs for sire selection involves tradeoffs. For example, bulls with high growth EPDs (WW & YW) may sire calves with a higher birth weight as well. And there may be other impacts on your operation to consider.
