Welcome to our “Yearling & Two Year Old” Bull Sale!

As this time of year comes around, we are all thinking of ways to maximize our profits in our cattale operations and we feel that the Charolais cross calves are the way to go.

The demand for Charolais X calves was strong this last fall and, without a doubt, this trend will continue this fall. If you have had any thoughts that Charolais would be the way to go on your herd, this would be a great year to come and see the set of bulls that we have put together - we feel they are some of the best we’ve brought to town. “Size Matters” when is comes to the bottom line and Charolais bulls will help build the frame for those extra pounds you are looking for in your calves. Your support over the years has been greatly appreciated. This year we thought of our buyers and what they might appreciate from us, so we have foot rot vaccinated and BVD tested the bulls. If you have any questions or would like to come and view the bulls at the farm, please do. We look forward to seeing you at the sale!

PERLICH BROS. AUCTION TERMS & CONDITIONS

EPD’s are a very simple to understand and easy to use selection tool for the purebred and the commercial cattlemen.

EPD’s are the most accurate means to date for estimating the true breeding value of an animal in regard to certain economically important traits.

EPD’s provide a genetic description for the traits included in the Charolais Sire Summary - birth weight, weaning weight, milk, total maternal, yearling weight, as well as carcass traits - carcass weight, rib eye area, backfat thickness, lean yield and marbling score.

EPD’s are expressed in the actual unit of measure for a given trait. As an example, EPD’s for traits such as birth weight, weaning weight, and yearling weight are expressed in pounds.

The tables below show how the EPD’s of two bulls within the North American Cattle Evaluation may be compared to estimate the differences that can be expected in progeny performance.

Based upon the values given, you would expect the average weights of progeny by SIRE A to exceed the average weight of progeny by SIRE B by 4.5 lbs. at birth, 15.0 lbs. at 205 days and 20.5 lbs. at 365 days, given they were mated to cows with the same genetic merit and the resulting calves were raised in the same environment. Thus, we could expect that if large numbers of daughters from the above matings were put into production, the progeny of SIRE A’s daughters would average 20 lbs. more than the progeny of SIRE B’s daughter’s at weaning. The maternal influence (milk & mothering ability) supplied by the daughters of SIRES A would account for 12.5 pounds of this weight advantage. Another 7.5 pounds could be attributed to growth genetics (1/2 the Weaning Weight difference) from the

daughters of SIRE A resulting in a 20 lb. overall advantage for SIRE A for Total Maternal.

PREDICTED MATING EPD’S: Rather than using EPD’s for individual animal selection or culling decisions, it is also possible to predict the outcome of a proposed mating by averagng the EPD’s of the sire and dam in question. This allows us to estimate the genetic merit of a proposed breeding without actually investing all the time and effort into breeding the animals unless there is potential to produce an animal of superior genetic merit. The table to follow gives an example of how you can predict the EPD’s for the progeny of a proposed mating:

TERMS: The right of the property shall not pass until after settlement is made. All settlements must be made with the clerks of the sale before any cattle will be released.

DISPUTES: In case of disputes, bidding will be reopened between the parties involved. If no further bid is made, the buyer will be the person from whom the auctioneer accepted the last bid. The auctioneer’s decision in such matter will be final.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Errors discovered in the catalogue will be corrected from the auction stand at sale time and such corrections will take precedence over printer matter in the catalogue.

CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRY OR RECORDATION: A certificate where applicable will be transferred to the buyer for each bull after settlement has been made.

ACCIDENTS: Although every precaution will be taken to protect the safety and comfort of buyers, PERLICH BROS. AUCTION MARKET LTD. assume no responsibility in the matter and disclaim any liability, legal or otherwise, in the event of an accident or loss of property.

MAIL BIDS: Mail or wire bids may be furnished in confidential form to PERLICH BROS. AUCTION MARKET LTD., Box 1057, Lethbridge, AB T1J 4A2 LIABILITY: PERLICH BROS. AUCTION MARKET LTD. is acting as agent only in this sale and is not liable in any manner whatsoever for any representations made by the seller.
