Bull Sale

Wednesday, February 24, 2016 • 1:00 (CST) Oakley, Kansas

Dear Friends: We have all experienced quite a year in the beef industry in terms of prices. We also had a great year of moisture and although prices aren’t as high they were they are still VERY GOOD. We are excited about this set of bulls and hope to see you at our 21st annual bull sale.

2015 was a fun year to watch newer genetics blossom in a year of average to good rainfall. When Mother Nature cooperates it’s amazing to see how our genetics can perform while maintaining moderate birth weights. One thing that became clear in the “tough/drought” years was FERTILITY is still the #1 trait to profits. Crossbreeding Gelbvieh and/or Balancer genetics is the easiest way to add or maintain high FERTILITY in your cowherd. A crossbred cow weans over 100# plus beef in her lifetime compared to a “straight-bred” cow.

EPD’s - What do the Numbers Mean:

In 2012 the Gelbvieh, Balancer, Red Angus, Simmental put their EPD’s into the same system and calculated the new EPD’s. Now you will be able to compare these 3 breeds on the same EPD base. In other words you can compare the same EPD’s for Gelbvieh, Red Angus, Balancer and Simmental cattle. The Angus breed continues to do their own EPD’s – so the Angus bulls cannot be compared across breeds. Below is a brief explanation of the EPD’s: CED: CED is shown in all breeds. CED stands for Calving Ease Direct. This EPD represents a ratio that determines how easy calves are born. The higher the number – should represent easier calving. BW: This EPD is used by all breeds. It predicts the difference in pounds for birth weight. Look at the breed average and compare. WW: This EPD is used by all breeds. It predicts the difference in pounds for weaning weight. Look at the breed average and compare. The WW EPD is an indicator of growth from birth to weaning. YW: This EPD is used by all breeds. It predicts the difference in pounds for yearling weight around 365 days of age. Look at the breed average and compare. The YW EPD is an indicator of growth from birth to yearling. Milk-MK: This EPD predicts the genetic ability of a sire’s daughter to produce milk. The higher number means more milk. Marb-MB: This EPD predicts the genetic ability of a sire’s offspring to grade. This EPD along with ultrasound data predicts which genetics have a higher chance of grading Choice, Prime and etc.. REA-RE: This EPD predicts the genetic ability of a sire’s offspring Loin Eye Area. This EPD along with ultrasound data predicts Loin Eye Area which determines Yield Grade – Red Meat. FPI-$B: This EPD predicts the carcass value and performance of a sire. The EPD’s are expressed in a $ value. The FPI dollar value is based on Performance, Carcass Weight, Marbling, Ribeye. The $B value is based on performance, carcass weight, Marbling, and production costs. Ultrasound Information All the bulls will be weighed and measured for frame size, Ribeye area, marbling, fat thickness, and scrotal size. The bulls will also be fertility tested and will also be test free of BVD. We will post the information on our website – as soon as we receive the information. We would expect to have this info posted 10-12 days before sale day. View data on: www.grundbeefgenetics.com. Breed Average EPD’s Balancer

Even though 2015 was very profitable for the cow-calf operator - the feeding industry has seen a lot of RED INK and they are becoming much more “picky” on the type of feeder cattle they buy. A recent survey of the top 30 cattle feeders confirms they want a British x Continental cross calf. These calves add almost $50/hd advantage over straight-bred calves. We have designed our Program for bulls to sire the “right” kind of feeder calves that are in demand today. We have concentrated on producing bulls that are Practical, Predictable, and Proven. We are big believers in bulls that look good and have great EPD’s. We also believe in a intense program based in A.I. - and the rapid improvement that happens with A.I. Technology. We continue to be amazed that today we can have 70-80# birth weights and 700# weaning weights with calves harvested by 12-14 months of age! We take great pride in watching and hearing from customers who top feeder calf sales and/ or earn premiums on the rail with their calf crop. We also intend for these genetics to leave you great females that raise big calves and have added FERTILITY. We want to help you find the right bull for your operation and we look forward to visiting with you. Back by popular demand is DV Auction which allows you to view the bulls before the sale and bid on-line if you’re unable to attend the sale. We thank you for your support over the last 20 plus years and look forward to seeing you again in 2016. Hope to see you February 24th. Grund Beef Genetics.

CUSTOMER SERVICE & SATISFACTION SIGHT-UNSEEN GUARANTEE If you are unable to make the sale, we are offering a sight – unseen purchase program. We also will be broadcasting the sale on DV Auction to allow you to see a video of the bulls selling. We also have arranged a “different” set of eyes and person to talk to- if you would like another opinion on the cattle. Andy Jones will view the bulls and give you his honest opinion. Andy’s number is 785-769-4319. BULL CARE This year we are again offering to keep your bulls until April 1st of 2016. We will take your bull home and feed them for $2/per head/per day. As of April 1st we will work with you on delivery or you can come to the ranch and pick-up your bull. Buyer does assume risk of the bull after sale day for injury and/or death. We can provide buyers insurance sale day that will cover the bull for injury or death until breeding season is complete. If you have a problem with an injured bull – please contact us- typically we carry-over a few bulls and can provide you with a replacement bull for the breeding season. GUARANTEES All bulls selling for $2800 or more are guaranteed against breeding season injury for the first breeding season. A breeding season is defined as a 90 day period following the first turn out date of the bull. This is not an insurance policy. If a bull develops a problem, proper treatment or vet care is advisable. If a replacement bull is available, he will be provided. If the buyer prefers no replacement bull, we will provide credit towards another bull in the following year, less the salvage value of the injured bull. Please notify us as soon as possible should a death or injury occur.
