MERIT CATTLE CO. Calving Ease Scores!

Calving ease is often related to birth weight 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.

• Also, the consistency of the birth weights of the sire and the dam should be considered.

• Nutrition, gestation and environment all influence birth weight.

We have rated each bull in the sale based on all the information we have.

HHH Should produce minimal problems when bred to moderate size first calf heifers

HH H

Recommend for second calvers or smaller framed cows 1100 lbs to 1300 lbs.

Recommend for mature cows 1400 lbs, plus

Insurance Program!

Because we want our customers to have the best deal possible, this year we felt that Stockmans Insurance offered better rates than we could and we were assured that customer service would be a priority.

Our local agent, Byron Vermeulen, will be representing Stockmans’ Insurance sale day and he will help you find what fits your needs.

– PLEASE NOTE – Once, again the sale will be a “Power Point” sale.

Bulls will be in pens at Merit Sale site for your appraisal.

This concept is stress free for the bulls and the sale moves quicker saving you time as well.

The positive influence of L436, Equalizer and Socialite 19B Milk +20 can be seen throughout this catalogue and in our herd.

EPD Explanation and Key to Terms

how to use one of the most powerful tools available...

EPDs

(Expected Progeny Difference)

EPD’s are specific to each breed and cannot be compared across different breeds. Not only do they incorporate the performance of individual animals, but also the performance of all of its relatives. If you want to stress a specific trait, select the breed that offers that trait, and then select individuals within the breed. EPDs indicate a probable variance above or below the breed average for that trait for a given bull’s progeny. EPDs are the best tool available to use as a guide to the direction you want your herd to go.

BW EPD: The actual birth weights in pounds adjusted for age of the dam are utilized in the analysis of this trait. The procedure provides a prediction of differences between sires for progeny birth weights free of the effects of contemporary group (or herd) and age of dam. Birth weight is of economic importance because to some degree it refl ects calving ease. A minus value relects probable birth weights below the breed average. A plus value refl ects a probable birth weight above breed average.

WW EPD: (Adjusted 205 Day Weaning Weight): Weaning weight EPDs should be used to compare the weaning weight growth of progeny of two bulls of the same breed and relative to the breed average weaning weight in pounds. Higher weaning EPDs predict higher weaning weights.

YW EPD: (Adjusted 365 Day Weights): This trait is of economic importance since it is more indicative of growth potential through market weights taken early in the animal’s life. It is also associated with efficiency of gain and pounds of trimmed retail boneless beef.
