2023 Klein Ranch Heart of the Herd Sale

Klein Ranch MARCH 1 1:00 pm ct in Atwood, Kansas • Simmental and SimAngus™ Rawlins County Fair Grounds HEART of the HERD 5th ANNUAL

WELCOME TO OUR 5th ANNUAL SALE...

We would like to welcome you to Northwest Kansas and to our 5th Annual Heart of the Herd Sale! This year has been challenging in more ways than one in our area. Another year of drought, short grass and little to no crops grown, was a big challenge to the most seasoned farmer or rancher. Hopefully a change of weather pattern is on its way for us and to anyone in the west.

To say we are excited about this bull crop would be an understatement. This year’s bull offering has surpassed our expectations in quality and uniformity. This is the most consistent group of bulls we have raised. We will be having GW Hilger’s first bulls for sale this year. He is a bull that we bought from Gateway Simmental in 2021 and he was picked up by Select Sires this last spring. You will be seeing a lot of this progeny in the coming years across the industry.

Heart of the Herd female has expanded to offer over 50 commercial open heifers. We are looking to expand with proven and home raised genetics. They come from commercial-minded producers based in Western Kansas. This is one of the best opportunities to expand your herd this spring. We look forward to seeing you on March 1st. If you cannot join us on sale day, the sale will be broadcast on LiveAuctions.TV.

Sincerely,

Heath, Ami, Miles and Hudson Klein 14276 Road Q75, Atwood, KS 67730 Evening number 785-626-9056 Day number 785-626-4212 Doug and Jan Klein 17026 Rd W, Atwood, KS 67730 Klein

CATEGORIES FOR BULLS

Our goal is to make the bull selection process easier. We know that the amount of information can be a little much. That is why we are trying to simplify the process for you. The bulls are divided into four categories: Maternal, Terminal, Calving ease specialist, and All Purpose.

The calving ease (CE) EPD is used for first calf heifers. All these bulls will work comfortable on cows and we would use any of these bulls on our own cowherd for their calving ease.

MATERNAL

Bulls that we recommend retaining the females into the herd or selling heifers as replacement quality.

TERMINAL

Bulls that would excel in operations that are looking to market all calves into a background or to retain ownership. Not recommended for keeping females in the herd.

CALVING EASE SPECIALIST

Bulls that excel with calving ease will work very well on heifers. We would use any of these bulls on our own heifers.

ALL PURPOSE BULLS

These bulls are what we consider well rounded for both maternal and terminal traits. Bulls that would work well suited in programs that retain females and sell their calves as program cattle.

GENETICS

All bulls have been Low Density (LD) DNA tested. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? All bull’s DNA must match to their Sire and Dam parentage DNA. LD DNA enhances the EPD profile of each animal giving you, the producer, a more proven EPD profile to look at. In addition, the bulls have been tested for color, polled and tested free of all know genetic defects.

HOMOZYGOUS BLACK- When mated to a black cow, all the calves will be black.

HETEROZYGOUS BLACK- When mated to a red non-dilute cow, 50% calves will be red.

NON-DILUTOR RED- When mated to a red cow, all calves will be red. There will be no grays, yellow, or buckskins.

HOMOZYGOUS POLLED- When mated to a polled cow, all calves will be polled.

HOW TO READ THE DATA

THANK YOU

Thank you to all our customer, friends and family that have made this program. We couldn’t have done it without your support and guidance for these last 15 years.

EXPANDING OUR COMMERCIAL OFFERING

In the coming years, we want to expand our commercial heifer offering. We would like to have females that are sired from Klein Ranch genetics at our upcoming offerings. In order to qualify for our replacement female program, the bulls must meet criteria. The bulls, who have met these criteria, will be identified with a logo in the catalog. If this program interests, you contact Heath for more details.

ALL BEEF

All Beef is a producer owned genetic business that we have invested in. This allows us to provide a service to you, the customer, that we felt is needed in the cattle industry. We knew that we could not do it on our own, so now we can leverage some of the most sought out young Simgenetics in the industry and provide them to you. If you are looking either to breed a pen of heifers or your best group of cows this will move you genetically faster to where you want to go. It does not matter the size of the operation we can help you get to where you want to be. Klein Ranch is a semen rep for ALL BEEF, ORIgen and Allied Genetic Resources. Contact Heath for semen or embryos. See page inside back cover for more information. See page 19 for more information.

FEEDER CALF MARKETING

Our customer success is important to us and marketing your calves can be a large part of that. To help with this we have teamed up with Rocky Forseth through Superior Livestock. By using our genetics, you would be eligible for a Progressive Genetics Logo. In addition, we are putting together a feeding alliance for any of our customers who are interested in feeding their own cattle to feeders or to finish. Any size is welcome from a 10 cow herd size to a 1,000 cow herd size. Contact Rocky or Heath if you have any questions. See page 18 for more information.

Improved Buying Confidence with Greater Genomic ASSURANCE

Access to more and better information has always been key to making wise decisions. The evolution and improvement of genetic evaluation tools too has given us an ever-clearer picture of the true genetic makeup of cattle and thus a better view of the value proposition. RightMate, powered by Top Genomics LLC is taking the evaluation of genetics and genomics one giant step further. By combining speci c genomic information with the long-proven value of EPDs, this new advancement in technology improves our depth and precision when evaluating the actual ability to transmit value and pro t.

The 3 Accreditation Logos below are designed to simplify bull selection and improve buyer con dence by more accurately describing the genetics o ered and by reducing risk. What this means to you as a customer is a much greater assurance that you are getting both what you want and need from the genetics you purchase. What it means to your seedstock provider is access to RightMate technology that simply sets them apart from the rest of the industry.

ACCREDITED GENOMIC PLUS – For the majority of producers who simply need consistent and balanced genetic improvement, without genomic setbacks, G+ Accredited bulls should be on your list for premium purchase. These sires will absolutely move you forward for both cost reduction and income producing traits and substantially reduce risk when compared to all other evaluation programs. It’s simple, the right genes are in these bulls to help secure a pro table future and the they have great EPDs to match!

ACCREDITED CALVING EASE – Simply nd bulls with the ACE logo for third party Accredited, secure Calving Ease bulls. Though we have had tools in the past to assist in choosing heifer bulls, we’ve never had one nearly this e ective. The reduced risk that comes with this genomic certi cation will simply make your decisions easier and your heifer calving season more successful. Purchase special purpose ACE bulls with con dence. They will deliver consistent and predictable calving ease.

ACCREDITED TERMINAL MATE – Just like an ATM machine makes it simpler to access your cash, the ATM Logo highlights bulls accredited to generate extra cash income as soon as your next calf crop! These bulls are meant speci cally to use only on mature cows and for the purpose of adding performance, pay weight and end product value to market.

Lots 1 and 2

To lead off this year’s sale we want to provide for you fresh genetics to our program. We partnered with All Beef to buy GW Hilger One from Gateway Simmentals in 2021 and he was picked up by Select Sires last spring. There will only be a hand full of bulls available this spring for these outcross genetics. Lot 1 comes out of donor cow LCDR 98C. One of the most balanced bulls we have raised and the most like his sire. He has a tremendous set of EPDs for a red purebred bull. Lot 2 is a high performance son out of GW Hilger One who has the top 10% of EPD’s in WW, YW and STAY. Both of these sons of GW Hilger One really carry on some of his best traits including good to expectational growth with high Stay.

Lots 3 and 4

Lot 3 and Lot 4 both come from Hooks Galileo, we have been excited about his sons and daughters. He has moderate birthweight and top end growth with exceptional marbling ability. These sons throughout the offering will demonstrate this. Lot 3 comes from the TJ 990E cow family which has been one of the most productive cow families on the place. He is super attractive with a great combination of depth and length. He is the best black bull we have ever raised on the ranch so far.

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-purposesire 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.

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.

GAIN AND GRADE

Analysis of American Simmental Association terminal traits show significant gains in postweaning growth and carcass quality in the past 20 years.

Plus, the Terminal Index average increased 21% during that same time for purebred Simmental. That translates to an average $1,498 in increased profit per bull when all calves are harvested.

For retained ownership with less risk and hybrid vigor.

He is another of GW Hilger One’s sons that will bring you the ease of low birthing weight during calving.

Driving the science of better breeding

There’s little room for error in the cattle business. Producers need the most advanced information to make smart selection decisions, and Angus Genetics Inc. (AGI) provides it through genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs).

GE-EPDs have become the industry standard for herd improvement, building on decades of science-backed genetic evaluation tools originated and maintained through the American Angus Association®, home to the largest and ever-growing single-breed beef cattle database.

KLEIN K041

EPDs that traditionally contained all pedigree, performance and progeny information now also include results from available genomic, or DNA, tests. Breeders who use genomic technology give buyers access to AGI-generated GE-EPDs that provide:

Increased predictability and decreased risk for young and unproven animals due to enhanced accuracy of EPDs

Better characterization of genetics for difficult-to-measure performance traits (such as carcass traits, maternal traits and feed efficiency)

The ability to make more rapid progress for traits that are important to you, due to:

·  more accurate selection

·  easier identification of genetic outliers

He is heifer bull package that has a high value in carcass traits. His calves will do well on the rail with no problem with calving.

·  the ability to propagate young animals with confidence earlier in their lives

In fact, GE-EPDs on unproven animals have the same amount of accuracy as if they had recorded 10-36 calves, depending on the trait. That’s valuable insight, offered regularly through the breed’s weekly national cattle evaluation.

PROGENY EQUIVALENT FOR UNPROVEN ANIMALS THAT HAVE BEEN DNA TESTED

How do you know if EPDs are genomic-enhanced?

Ask your breeder, refer to the registration paper, or look for the AGI GE-EPD logo, Angus GS TM powered by partner Neogen GeneSeek or the HD50k by partner Zoetis. These images indicate animals for which low-density or high-density genomic testing has been conducted and incorporated by AGI into GE-EPDs

Pochop Farm & Ranch Angus (PFR) was started in 2011 selling registered Angus bulls. PFR also has a commercial herd that we treat just the same as our seed stock herd. We believe that for the Midwest we need cattle with proper bone structure and fertility, all while raising the best calf possible. We strive to raise cattle that work for the producer and not the producer having to work for the cattle. We have been working for several years to get our average cow size down to 1250-1350lbs. These are all home raised heifers. We would like to thank Klein Ranch for giving us the opportunity to market our females locally. God Bless.

HAWKINS FARMS

Hawkins Farms has been ranching and farming in Rawlins County since 1914. Del and Kristi Hawkins run a commercial Angus and SimAngus cowherd. They also have a small, registered Angus cow herd that is a joint venture with their daughters. They have been using Klein Ranch genetics and buying the top end of our bulls each time.

ROGER HOLSTE

Roger Holste has been raising Simmental cattle since the 1970’s. His cowherd has exceptional milking production on minimal inputs. He also has been a longtime customer of Klein Ranch. This year we were given the opportunity to take over the management of his cowherd. The females that we are offering are coming off the top of the replacement pen. They have been managed the same as Klein Farms/Klein Ranch.

BULL DEVELOPMENT

This is our process on how bulls are developed and what they need for a longer life. Over half of our bull battery is bulls that we have raised ourselves and this want we have found that works best for us. The development of our bulls is just as important as anything we do. Also, the care after breeding season. The bulls are weaned Labor Day week and given first around of vaccinations. They are fed an alfalfa base protein pellet at 5 lbs. a day with free choice oat hay. They are on this ration for 21 days then transition onto TMR ration. At this time, they are given a second round of vaccinations. The TMR is designed for them to gain 3.5 lbs. a day. The ration is Corn silage, ground Milo, Alfalfa, sorghum grass hay, and a protein pellet. Our goal is when they are ultrasounded the first week of January is to be at 2 tenths of backfat. This allows us to manage through growth and develop their joints and structure properly. We purposely do not raise fat or heavy bulls. This diet is maintained until sale time at which we increase roughage and pull out grain in order to start a transition of the gut to more forage base. When taking the bulls home, they still need to feed a growing ratio of gain 2 to 2.5 lbs. a day. A bull does not stop growing until they are 4. After breeding season, it is best to pull bulls from the main cows and let them rest in a pasture or grass trap on their own. This will allow them to rest and growth. Side note: we do not Creep feed any of our bulls. We believe this has a negative effect on the lifetime of a bull. If you have any questions, give us a call
