R PLUS SIMMENTALS TH
15 ANNUAL BULL SALE
SUNDAY, MARCH 8, 2015 AT 1:00 PM AT THE FARM, ESTEVAN, SK
Brand of Consistency & Confidence
R + Simmental sale WELCOME TO OUR 2015 EDITION OF THE ANNUAL R PLUS BULL SALE Once again it is an honor to welcome you to the 15th Annual R Plus Brand Bull Sale. I would like to start by thanking all of our previous buyers and our future customers as I always look forward to dealing with all of our clients on a one to one basis. As the industry moves forward, the future looks very bright and strong. Cattle prices have finally reached a point where the economic scales are balanced to other industries. Our intensions here at R Plus are to stay in the purebred business, supplying bulls that we believe are right for today’s industry. We continue to run a large herd of only purebred red and black Simmentals as this allows us to concentrate on only one sector of the Simmental breed. We believe, and have since 1992, that the red and black Simmental cattle totally meet all of the requirements that we feel are needed in the beef industry. As the beef business progresses we find ourselves in a position where cut-outs are in short supply, this is why we will continue to use ultrasound information as a selection tool for our herd. Due to beef being in short supply, yield becomes very important to the industry, as opposed to the smaller niche markets for meat. Along with these selection tools our cow model is calving ease, efficiency and structural soundness . Again this year OBI and staff will be working with us on our 2015 offering. Rob has played a big role analyzing bulls for our selection over the years. We would like to send a big thank you to Rob and staff for their help over the last 15 years. With that, we would like to invite you to the ranch on March 8 for some hospitality , livestock fellowship and the viewing of the R Plus Brand of bulls.
We Welcome Our U.S. Bull Customers Both Past and Future. Day of Sale Exchange Rate Will Apply
Thank you from the R Plus family, Marlin LeBlanc
Carcass Data, Scrotal Measurements and Weights will be available at the sale, and on the web-site at www.cattlemanagement.ca the third week of February WELCOME FROM OBI Welcome to the R+ Annual Bull Sale! R+ is a unique program - the breeding selection decisions, the replacement selections and culling practices are totally of their own criteria. Following popular current fads is not typically how things are done, unless the animals meet their strict level of acceptance. Programs such as this result in a high degree of herd bull production; but most rewarding are the results... The R+ list of herd sires that have impacted the industry is simply amazing. Both in Canada and the United States the list is ever growing. Females sold by R+ in recent years only number in the 20 head range - of these at least seven are in an ET program. Their positive influence in quality and in dollars earned for their owners becomes a most important factor in evaluating the R+ program. Appraising the cow herd only reinforces the fact that the program is aggressive and progressive. What a set of sound, functional, great uddered cows - and they keep getting better. The 2015 pen of bulls is excellent - the uniformity is amazing with a functional high performing set of young calves, many of which are February, March and April born. This year we have many baldies on offer, both Red and Black. Your next herd bull could very well be in the sale offering. Once again R + will carcass evaluate through ultrasound. As well, these young bulls will be semen tested and evaluated, another positive choice on young bulls. The program at R+ is topped up with a super high level of customer service. This year bulls have been catalogued by sire groupings, as we believe this will make it more user friendly for our customers. Come early and evaluate this tremendous offering - visit with Marlin and Dallas about the needs you may have for your program - the selection is deep and varied. We at OBI enjoy working with R+, sharing and learning about the philosophy of how this program operates. Furthermore, we certainly enjoy watching the success that fellow cattleman have experienced by purchasing R+ genetics. Join these many folks on March 8 at R+ for the excellent hospitality and fellowship. Once again, if there is any way that we at OBI are able to help you please do not hesitate to call.

Bull Development:
For 2015, the bulls were weaned by October 1, coming off native grass pastures with no creep. Their development then begins with a TMR ration of ground hay, corn based pellets and water. Mid November corn sileage is introduced into the ration and the bulls remain on this total balanced ration until delivery to your ranch. The TMR (total mixed ration) means that every bite the bull takes is the same as the last, ensuring no overloading as other feeding programs may allow. The bulls are not creep fed nor full fed, they are developed.
Delivery: Delivery is to your gate at a mutual convenience, however we would like to have your bulls delivered to your yard by April 23, 2015.

Edge is a bull we raised and sold in our 2006 sale to Westway and Lewis farms. He has definitely influenced our program more than any other bull we have ever raised or seen in the breed. He is certainly influencing the Simmental breed through his sons and daughters that are working in several herds. The thing about Edge, is he makes his calves better in consistency, kind and type. Throw aways are few and far between. Dam of Edge Sun Star Miss Drive

A red son of Edge that has become the main stay of our red program. Westway Farms of Didsbury, AB purchased Redge in our 09 sale. We are calving our fourth set of Redge daughters this spring and will continue to use Redge extensively in our program. We would like to congratulate the Hadways on their continued success with Redge offspring, and what a pleasure it is to partner with such a great family.

We purchased Magnaflow from Brad Dundas, Outlaw Cattle Co. to add to our bull battery in 2013. Our never ending search for high rib-eyes, strong maternal valued cattle never stops. We are very impressed with the first calf crop. Flow will become a large part of our program in the future.

A unique opportunity as we purchased this Angus cow with Jim Smith from MWC Angus in Alberta. The MWC program revolved around the Rosebud family and the 115F cow and when they dispersed a great opportunity arose to buy some of these super genetics. We don’t do many percentage bulls so this is a rare but great opportunity to purchase a great half blood.

R Plus Philosophy... The breeding of Simmental cattle has been a passion and dream of ours since the 70’s. We made a move in 1991 to change our Simmental cattle into a moderate framed animal that survived well in our climate. The solid colored red and black cattle fit the bill; the performance and fertility of the Simmental cattle could not be compromised, so we began looking for genetics that would support our beliefs. Present day, our beliefs haven’t changed and we believe the cattle back this up. We are raising cattle that survive and breed in short native grass pastures, with hay being their main winter ration; cattle that have fertility bred into them, as most of our bulls will be under a year of age at sale time and will have passed a fertility test and scrotal measurement that in the past has averaged around 38 cm. Hair coats are very important to us. Straight heavy haired cattle tend to be easier doing, happier cattle at R Plus. As we live in a short grass area, we have to have cows with large spring of rib. We believe that the rib eye measurement indicates this to us. Structure and conformation have to be closely monitored in our program as a large area of the pastures are located in heavy rock conditions. Our cattle must have the ability to walk in these conditions. As our operation is usually a two man show, the cow’s ability to have a calf, that calf ’s vigor and the mothering ability of the cow are all things that are very important to us. We do not believe that overfeeding bulls and females is necessary. Longevity is something that is needed in all cattle and overfeeding only helps to shorten their life span and affects their fertility. Our rations are developed to grow and allow cattle to mature at an optimal rate without causing any complications to that animal. We have bred these solid red and black coloured cattle for 24 years. The multi generation of the red and black genetics will make your calf crop predictable in colour. By using these solid coloured genetics we have eliminated sun burnt udders, weak eyed cattle and created a trouble free animal.

We guarantee to provide you with a sound, fertile bull capable of servicing a reasonable number of cows. In the event that your bull is a non-satisfactory breeder, the seller will not, under any circumstances, be responsible for more than the original selling price of any bull or female sold in the sale. The consignor will not provide replacement or credit for physical injury or mismanagement. Therefore we stress the importance of insurance on your bull. An insurance agent will be available on sale day.

R + Simmental sale R+ have established themselves as one of the leading Ultrasound Carcass Evaluation Programs in the Simmental Breed. Not only do they evaluate their own bulls for their customers, but they also use carcass evaluation as a selection tool for securing new headline herdsires. Following the R+ example not only helps out R+ but we believe that your program will improve as well. Remember the R+ Brand of Confidence. What is Ultrasound? Ultrasound has become an everyday use of “frequencies” to detect those things that we can not normally see with our naked eye. Example: (Medical World - it is used for a host of functions from detecting bodily problems to detecting the sex of a young couples first new born). In the outside world it is used to detect cracks or possible structural flaws in all types of equipment from bridges to engines. In beef cattle it is used to detect three major components of a live animals carcass composition; that being muscle (meat), fat thickness and IMF (Intra Muscular Fat or Marbling). As well, it is quite commonly used to detect the sex of embryos being carried with an amazingly high degree of accuracy. When is it used? For any meaningful information it is best done during some relative time period similar to what slaughter ages are to be. The CUP system adjusts the carcass information to one year of age (similar to adjusted yearling weights). This then gives us at least a simple level playing field for making choices or decisions within common groups. How are the Measurements Expressed? Rib Fat - either in inches .3 inches or in mm’s 8 mm AREA - usually in square inches IMF or MB - as a % of that area (eg. 4.2 = 4.2%) RP = Retail Product - is a % of a saleable carcass Why ultrasound, or better yet should we pay attention to this information? Within the seedstock industry it seems like a distant or vague result that holds little real value, but in the commercial cattle world this tool of using ultrasound has become a well documented practice that when used has resulted in a clean, positive, decision making management choice resulting in extra profits of $30 per head and higher. The ultrasound carcass evaluation when used a short time (7 - 10 days) prior to slaughter simply allowed the seller to market on a grid system or not at an optimal time. (This live pre-sort has resulted in an 80% 95% degree of accuracy following slaughter. The pre slaughter carcass data corresponded to slaughter data with measuring IMF and Fat to this degree of accuracy). As well reportedly we find major players in the North American slaughter industry securing software programs to in fact use this technology for a much more economic decision on their front. “Apparently the information is not as vague as we may believe.” What is good or what is bad? None of the figures or information is bad - the information should help us identify which animals or groups of animals are superior for different traits, ie the high IMF bulls could be sourced to use on Continental cows who may well have lower IMF tendencies, or, large AREA bulls or sire groups could be used on low yield, easy fleshing British cows whose IMF genetic makeup could already be abundant. Remember Retail Product (RP) takes a combination of this information into account. So is there a right answer?? Not at all, but there certainly is an advantage to you the buyer using this information if the bulls or sires are identified.
The first thing producers want to know about ultrasound is: How accurate is it? The answer to the question depends on who does the actual scanning of the animals and who interprets the images. Ultrasound data on these bulls was collected and analysed by a technician that is certified by AUP and CUP. This means that the technician has met the standards set by many breed associations. The accuracy, although not perfect, is high enough that bulls selected based on ultrasound results in positive genetic change in progeny carcass traits. Heritability for carcass traits are moderate to high, which is slightly higher that birth weights, weaning weights, and yearling weights. IMF (Inter muscular Fat or Marbling) IMF is the best indication that we have to tell us what kind of eating experience we will have when eating beef. Extensive research shows that average AAA and above marbling produces the most satisfied consumers. As marbling increases so does the juiciness, the flavorfulness, and the tenderness. This may not always be true but for the most part AAA marbling producers more satisfied customers that does A or AA marbling carcasses. Back Fat (BF mm) Fat depth influences lean meat yield. Fat bulls have less lean meat/ muscle in the carcass. The fat measurement also gives an indication of the bulls fleshing ability. Calves from a bull with very little fat may finish too slowly in the feedlot. Body condition score (fat depth) in females is related to their ability to reach puberty at an early age, produce milk, rebreed and maintain a short calving interval. On the other hand, bulls carrying excessive fat may suffer reduced fertility. Adjusted Ribeye Area (AREA in2) The AREA is the largest muscle in the body at birth so AREA gives an indication of overall carcass muscling (measured in inches) and adjusted to one year of age. RP (Retail Product/Cutability/% LMY) RP is the percentage lean meat yield in the carcass. Yield grade is an important factor in both Canada and the US. Producing calves with a high genetic potential for this trait can be an important objective of a breeding program. Back fat will reduce yield by 7 to 8 times what REA will increase yield. Summary Like all traits we should avoid the extremes. Moderation is the key. As producers we need to evaluate our own females and then decide what kind of progeny we want to produce and this should dictate what kind of sire we want to purchase.
Carcass Data, done by Rod Wendorff, Windy Ridge Ultrasounding, will be available after February 20.
