Silver Smith Farms Welcome to the 13th annual Mappin Simmentals Bull Sale offering. Thank you for your interest in this year’s offering - as well as your trust in our cattle in the past. 2017 was a good year for the Canadian cattle business with excellent calf prices, and 2018 looks like it will be strong as well, with good feeder cattle prices in the new year. Simmental replacement females are a hot commodity and are worth a premium these days, with many of our customers selling replacement females for as much as their steer calves. What an awesome opportunity to add value to your calf crop and your bottom line, especially when we saw other breeds of female calves so heavily discounted. We feel it part of our job as seedstock producers to offer exceptional reproduction genetics. As such, we utilize a VERY short 42 day breeding season – ensuring that our “bull makers” calve early, clean up and breed back on the tightest of schedules. No second chances in a ‘year round’ calving program here. We believe this means you get a bull with the best reproductive potential possible, and we think that is vitally important to all cattlemen. Many areas of Alberta experienced a very dry late summer/fall in 2017, and our place was no different. By early August our pastures were browning off quickly and it was clear any decent late grazing summer pasture was out of the question. The decision was made to wean about a month earlier than usual – taking place on September 2nd. The calves came in a little lighter than normal, but extremely healthy, and once their mommas were forgotten they never looked back and are an extremely uniform group. We feed a Total Mixed Ration, consisting of a high forage, protein rich ration, as well as a premium mineral pack. Our 2018 offering is coming to town with enough condition you can see their growth potential, but not so fat they will “melt” or forget their job when it comes time to do what you expect of them. You will see we have on offer for the first time this year groups of bulls from our newest herd sires “Venom” and “Steakhouse”. Venom was purchased from the top of the Deeg Simmentals program in 2016. He has been a no miss breeder with performance and uniformity as his specialty. Steakhouse was purchased from the top of Paul Abrams offering at the Ranchlands Sale. Being a son of Reload and from a super sweet blaze face cow, Steakhouse has given us some very fancy bulls and heifers with the distinctive money stripe, as well as a shot of calving ease. So much ease that we bred him to the majority of our heifers in 2017. At time of writing, so far so good with calves coming in averaging 80 pounds with lots of vigor. You may notice we decided not to include EPD’s in this year’s edition. A few years ago, the Canadian Simmental Association decided to amalgamate our Canadian EPD’s with the American Simmental Association EPD data. This move, in our opinion, has significantly shifted the data of the much smaller Canadian registry, resulting in a skewed data for Canadian Simmentals. We feel that the actual information, birth weight, weaning weight, weight per day of age (to weaning), that is provided for each bull in the offering is as true of a guide as we can expect from a yearling bull, and much more accurate in ‘the real world’. Please feel free to search the CSA pedigree registry for each animal’s EPD’s if you feel that helps you make a better decision. Or better yet, come to the farm and view the momma’s of the bulls, and the herd sires, so you can see for yourself important traits such as structure, udder quality and disposition. March 3rd will be here before you know it. Please give us a call to discuss any of our bulls on offer or make plans to mark up your catalogue and drop by the farm to see them in person before they arrive in Veteran. Also check out our new “Good Neighbor” program (details below). You could earn cash to introduce someone to Mappin Simmentals/Silver Smith Farms for the first time! See you in Veteran on Saturday March 3rd.

• Venom was Deeg’s high selling bull in 2016, and we were extremely pleased to aquire this powerhouse with our partner and friend, Don Kathol, Hidden Stone Farm. • Venom has the perfect combination of performance and calving ease-he is as big footed and structurally sound bull as you will find; he moves so fluidly with tons of flex on a wide base. • An active and aggressive breeder who takes his job seriously but is very docile and passes that on to his progeny-both bulls and females are at the top of our pen as their structure is second to none. Homo Polled.

• Purchased in the spring of 2016 from Paul Abrams, Steakhouse was our pick of Paul’s bulls, based on the cow family backing him, his sound structure, calving ease potential, and cherry red color. A bull who is a curve bender-smaller birthweights with big time performance. • Mothered by a beautiful blaze faced matron, females may be where he shines, although both heifers and bulls are excellent. • Steakhouse sires smaller, short gestation calves, who get up and grow. We had such a great experience calving him, we turned him into our heifer pen in 2017 and are looking forward to seeing what he does there for us. Steakhouse is a very aggressive breeder.

• ‘Six Shooter’ is the final Ammo son and he’s just like his brothersmoderate and very stout. Look for him to add value in both his female and male offspring. • Mothered by a smaller framed, extremely feminine cow, who spent some time as a recip in our ET program, but I was so impressed with her mothering ability that we bred her to Ammo in hopes of getting a replacement heifer. She is a perfect uddered, deep bodied angular cow that is easy keeping and very sound. WFL Ammunition 8B - Sire of Lot 46 & 48

• Huge power with this blaze faced cherry red herdsire. Cowboss is a result of our ET program, and he has proven himself time and time again to produce those good performance type bulls, and fantastic mother cows. I truly believe the Cowboss females will be cornerstone cows. • Siring long bodied, athletic bulls, often carrying that attractive blaze face that everyone wants in their cowherd. If you need to improve udder quality in your replacements without losing performance in your steers, take a Cowboss son home. This is the last group of bulls Cowboss sired, and was the most consistent sire group at weaning time and throughout the winter. • Homo polled.

• Roar is the real deal as far as herdsires go- I just can’t say enough about him. This is his 3rd calf crop on offer and we couldn’t be happier with how he works in our herd. His bulls are impressive-his females are outstanding. Roar is an extremely aggressive breeder. • Roar is the result of our very selective ET program-A cow has to be proven and magnificent to get flushed around our place, and Roars mother was 2nd to none in production. 1722N is the mother of our herdbull Rockstar, which left us fantastic females, as well as several top end bulls including her last calf, Roar. • Look for Roar sons to have big testicles, add docility, a big foot, depth of rib, and outstanding maternal traits.

Horned Polled Test Results
Quantum Genetix’s Horned/Polled Test involves testing for two different genetic events that have been shown to differentiate between horned and polled animals. The polled trait is dominant over horned. Results are reported to the producer as P/P, h/P, and h/h. Interpretations of results are as followed: P/P: the animal is homozygous polled (double polled), meaning it can only pass on a polled trait to its offspring and all offspring will demonstrate the polled trait as well. h/P: the animal is heterozygous polled (horned carrier), meaning that the animal will appear polled but has a 50% chance of passing on a horned allele to its offspring. If two h/P animals are bred together, then there is a 25% chance that their offspring will demonstrate the horned trait. 30
