BULLS BUILT FOR THE BIG COUNTRY

APRIL 8, 2019

ANNUAL BULL SALE

WHERE PERFORMANCE IS BRED ON. NOT FED ON.

SIMMENTAL • SIMANGUS™ • ANGUS

Welcome to the Nelson Livestock Company’s 2019 Bull Sale. Your interest and attendance of our “Bred on not fed on “ is truly appreciated. The Nelson family has been ranching and farming in Eastern Montana for 110 years and raising Simmentals for 48 years. Our sustainability has taught us to develop range ready bulls that will go out and cover lots of cows and maintain or gain weight on grass and furnish the best cutting edge genetics available. Genetics that can convert roughage and sire those crossbred feeder cattle that are in top demand. These genetics will also sire efficient females with stayability. Sunday, April 7th, the bulls will be on display starting at 2:30 pm. There will be a light supper at 5:00 and following that there will be a discussion on the current cattle industry issues including genetic testing, IGS Multi-breed Single Step powered by Bolt, the IGS Feeder Profit calculator and Superior Livestock Auctions Country Page and video sale options. Thanks to our family, business associates, neighbors, and friends that have helped Nelson Livestock Company this year. Thanks, The Nelson Crew

“Nelson Livestock Company where performance is bred on not fed on.”

Its almost April so that means it is about time to head for Wibaux, Montana for the annual Nelson Livestock Bull sale. Nelson customers appreciate the later sale date partially because it is closer to turnout time and also the bulls can be developed on a healthier and slower plane of nutrition because they are not asked to look their best for display in mid-winter. This longevity promoting approach to bull development fits in perfectly with the Nelson Livestock motto of “the quality is bred in not fed on.” The Nelson family has been in the SimGenetic seedstock business now for nearly 50 years. You will find evidence of that experience even as you search back through the long NLC pedigree lines and the many ancestors bred here of the bulls offered today. For decades they have asked their cattle to perform in the same conditions and with the same resources that their customers cattle live in and with. That commitment yields a product that works and doesn’t require special attention. The cows here work for the Nelson’s and not necessarily the other way around. Nelson genetics also excel because of their tireless commitment to genetic improvement for the traits that matter most to commercial producers. Cattle must be fertile, long lived, adaptable and gentile while still providing advanced value in terms of gain and for beef value traits that drive the ultimate income of the beef chain. Convenience, coupled with profit continue to drive this outfit and its program into the future even as you see the next generations of Nelsons playing a larger part in the day to day operation. On behalf of the whole Nelson family and Allied, we hope to see you on sale day at the ranch, but if you can’t make it, make a call and stop in early to check out the offering. On Monday Apr. 8 please feel free to contact any of us associated with the sale to answer questions or you can watch the sale and bid on Superior Broadcasting. No matter how you choose to participate, we know you will be happy with the results and continued faith in the Nelson program. Sincerely, Marty Ropp, Allied Genetic Resources

PUREBRED AND 3/4 SIMMENTAL BULLS Lots 1, 2 and 3 are embryo brothers out of Hooks Bozeman and out X136 donor. After a great life raising calves like NLC Progressive 40C, our top seller in 2016 to Kenner Simmental, we decided we needed to flush this high producer. She currently has 6 natural calves at 109 WW ratio and has done it on her own. Solid feet, udder and fertility makes her our kind and we just wanted to make some extra daughters to keep and some sons like these to offer in our sale.

Genomic enhanced EPDs. 44F is one of the two Progressive sons we have in the offering this year. Progressive sired our NLC Gen Ten bull that topped the sale last year and is a bull we need to use more of in the future. He is heterozygous black, but for those who like a few red ones, this is one of our physically most attractive high percentage bulls in the sale.

Genomic enhanced EPDs. We think this is one of our best Summits Peak sons. His sire has done a really good job since we purchased him from the Beggers a few years back. Each year his sons are some of our deepest sided and most attractive bulls. This one just happens to be out of one of our best, young Pathway daughters. Her calves have weaned heavy and scanned very well.

Range Boss has made such a difference for our herd. He just moves us in the maternal direction we need to be successful. Moderate, easy keeping and sound, his daughters excel in tough ranch country and so our customers keep coming back to buy more sons. Lot 27 is one of his best! The A52 cow is one of our best producers too, including this guy who came out at 78 pounds but was one of our heaviest calves at weaning.

Genomic enhanced EPDs. Alumni has just worked for us here. We have had sons now for 4 or 5 years and they always are among our best. The daughters too are making high producing females. Our Med Rock Emblazon daughters have made great range cows too, so this bull just has potential to make better cows and more profit. 85F is deep, sound and really good structurally as well.

Genomic enhanced EPDs. 71F is a true beast in this set. Multi-Talent was one of our favorites in the 2017 sale and sold to Bielenburg Simmentals in Iowa. We used him to intensify some popular lines here and his sons are really nice. Out of an old 16P daughter this bull’s calves should grow fast and make great cows.

Genomic enhanced EPDs. We sampled TJ Diplomat last year as an outcross SimAngus option with a little extra look and a great maternal pedigree. All of them are nice, but we really like the pattern and design of lot 44. Structurally correct and with a solid spread from birth to weaning he is very easy to like both genetically and physically.

We picked up our Payweight son from Dean Wang two years ago to clean up heifer and add some spread genetics with volume and performance. We have quite a few sons in the sale and we think they will be very well received. Most of them came between 70 and 80 pound, which we think is perfect for heifers and they rank above average for both grow and marbling. Physically they are clean boned and easy fleshing with plenty of the volume that we all need to thrive in ranch country.

Genomic enhanced EPDs. 41F has one of the best EPD profiles of any bull in the sale. Great for heifers, plenty of performance and a top 5% ranking for Marbling genetics makes him a bull for any serious producer. Out of a nice young Nightride daughter, he looks the part too and is one of the most attractive of the offering.

We are especially proud of the Angus bulls we have in the sale this year. Though we obviously offer mostly Simmental and SimAngus bulls, we always have a few Angus to sell as heifer bulls and so that we can re-stock a few young Angus females each year to the herd. Baldridge Bronc did a terrific job for us and Aviator promotes the kind of calving ease we need. As a sale feature however, we think 57F might be the best Angus bull we have ever produced.

ASA QUICK REFERENCE TO EPDS, INDEXES AND $VALUES

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 in what units they are expressed. For example, if the above case referred to weaning weight EPDs, sire A would be expected to sire 15 pounds more weaning weight than sire B. If calving ease was the trait, sire A would be expected to sire 15 percent more unassisted births in first-calf heifers; in other words, if sire B sired 30 assists in a group of 100 heifers, we would expect sire 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 more detailed information about EPDs and $ indexes, visit www.simmental.org. Listed below are the units in which ASA EPDs are expressed: ALL-PURPOSE INDEX (API): Dollars per cow exposed under an all-purpose-sire scenario. (See $ Indexes for more details.) BACK FAT (BF): Inches of carcass backfat at 475 days. 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 at 475 days. STAYABILITY (STAY): Percent of daughters remaining in the cowherd at 6 years of age. DOCILITY (DOC): Percent of offspring receiving a disposition score of 1 (docile). MATERNAL CALVING EASE (MCE): Percent of unassisted births in first-calving daughters. MILK (MLK): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk. MARBLING (MARB): Carcass marbling score at 475 days. MATERNAL WEANING WEIGHT (MWW): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk and growth. RIBEYE AREA (REA): Square inches of carcass ribeye at 475 days. TERMINAL INDEX (TI): Dollars per cow exposed under a terminal-sire scenario. (See TI for more details.) WEANING WEIGHT (WW): Pounds of weaning weight. YEARLING WEIGHT (YW): Pounds of yearling weight. YIELD GRADE (YG): Carcass yield grade score at 475 days. $ INDEXES: Though EPDs allow for the comparison of genetic levels for many economically important traits, they only provide pieces of the economic puzzle. This is where $ indexes come in. Through well-conceived, rigorous mathematical computation, $ indexes blend EPDs and economics to estimate an animal’s overall impact on integrated commercial production. 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 sires 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 are keeping replacements use API, if not, use 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. 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 more detailed information about EPDs and $indexes, visit: www.simmental.org Important disclaimer: DO NOT compare index values of purebreds of different breeds, hybrids of different breed composition or purebreds with hybrids — our system was not developed to make valid comparison among these groups. Therefore, you must first determine the breed and breed composition appropriate for your herd and use index values to compare animals within that population.

A NOTE FROM OUR NUTRITIONIST...

This set of bulls has been developed with the AminoMAX program from Mountain West Ag Services of Garneill, Montana. The focus of this program has been to help bulls reach genetic potential without pushing high rates of grains or concentrates as you would see in a feeder animal. By doing so we assure strong, steady growth of the animal and a LONG life of working for you in the herd. With the proper balances of the amino acids, a good shot of omega-3 fatty acids, top of the line chelated minerals, and a forage based diet these hard muscle bulls are sure to hit the ground running this breeding season and many more to come.
