WELCOME
Greetings, Thank you for your interest in our program; and welcome to our annual production sale. We have been breeding Gelbvieh cattle for 33 years and continue to be thankful for the support of the great people that we have been associated with in this business. Our goal continues to be to provide you with the best Gelbvieh and Balancer genetics available. We believe the Gelbvieh breed offers the best combination of disposition, maternal excellence and growth of any breed. Our catalog, videos of each sale lot, and the sale order will be posted on our website as they were last year. All bulls will have homozygous polled and homozygous black test results, adjusted yearling weights and scrotal measurements available online and on sale day. Please call or come early to select your bulls Again, thank you for your continued interest and confidence in our breeding program. Give us a call, visit our website at www.gustinsdiamondd.com or e-mail us at gustindd@wildblue.net for information or a catalog. We enjoy visiting with you about your program and will do our best to assist you in making your selections. We look forward to seeing you on sale day. Our Program We are firm believers in balanced trait selection, putting emphasis on many different areas including disposition, calving ease, performance, maternal traits, structural soundness, eye appeal, EPDs and carcass traits. We believe that by not creep feeding we are better able to select our replacement females; and feel we are on the right track as our first-calf heifers continue to put a larger number of high quality calves in the sale each year. The calves have been doing great since weaning. We continue to feed a total mixed ration of homegrown feeds and distillers grain for a moderate 3.25 to 3.5 pound average daily gain after weaning. This will keep the bulls sound and maintain longevity.

SALE INFORMATION
The American Gelbvieh Association’s Feeder Finder service assists producers in marketing load lots of Gelbvieh and Balancer®-influenced feeder cattle. Whether selling private treaty or via auction, producers with load lots of feeder cattle are encouraged to fill out the free Feeder Finder form. These cattle are then listed on the AGA website and presented to feedyards across the country.
As a valued customer of Gelbvieh influenced calves, you are eligible to list your calves on the American Gelbvieh Association’s “Feeder Finder.” Simply list your calves with a brief description of your cattle and the listing will be sent to over 200 feedlots across the United States. All listings must be in load lots, so if you don’t have enough calves to fill a semi load, consider teaming up with a neighbor who has Gelbvieh-influenced calves.
Contact William McIntosh at 502-867-3132 or Angela Vesco at 303-465-2333 to list your cattle on Feeder Finder.
Just another way the AGA is helping to add value to your program. 2

These tools can then be used to make sound breeding decisions that will identify the cows that will increase herd productivity and profitability.
Gustin’s Diamond D will offer a voucher for $50 with the purchase of one bull or $100 with the purchase of two or more bulls toward enrolling your herd in the Smart Select program if you wish to do so.
Herd Reports: • Progeny Report • Herd Sires Report • Dam Production Report • Herd Summary Report
Genetic Tools: • Feeder Profit Index (FPI): Index for selecting progeny to perform in the feedyard and on the rail. • Stayability (ST score): Gauge the reproductive longevity of the herd.
The American Gelbvieh Association is continually working to enhance the breed in all sectors of the industry. The AGA is currently providing the “Smart Select Service” to all producers that use Gelbvieh Genetics in their herds. Ranchers provide information on their cows including breeding dates and expected calving dates of cows, and weaning information about the calves. This service will help you keep records of your cows on a yearly basis, while adding information to the breed data base nationwide. The cost is $1/head.

GUIDE TO AGA EPDS EXPECTED PROGENY DIFFERENCES (EPDs) can be used to predict the average performance of bull’s offspring compared to other calves in their contemporary group (a contemporary group being calves that were born in the same calving season, in the same year, herd, sex, and were managed similarly).
It is important to remember that this number is just a prediction of performance. Actual performance depends on many factors such as environment, management, etc. This being said, an EPD is by far the most reliable indicator of an animal’s genetic merit due to the amount of information incorporated into the calculation.
EPDs are measured in the units of the trait, and show the differences in performance between animals. For example, if a bull has a weaning weight EPD of 80, and another bull in the same herd has a weaning weight EPD of 70, then bull A’s calves would be expected to be 10 pounds heavier at weaning than those of bull B.
The American Gelbvieh Association uses all available information to predict an animal’s EPD. This information includes: individual performance, pedigree, progeny and grand progeny performance, plus available genomic information. All this information is combined into one easy to use number that helps breeders make genetic improvement in their herd.
EPD DEFINITIONS Carcass traits Yield grade (YG): Differences in yield grade score, which is a predictor of percent retail product. Smaller values suggest that progeny will have a better lean to fat ratio.
Listed below are the definitions of American Gelbvieh Association EPDs and the units in which they are published. The EPDs with an asterisk (*) next to the name are available to members only. Maternal traits Calving ease direct (CE): Percent of unassisted births of a bull’s calves when he is used on heifers. A higher number is favorable, meaning better calving ease. This EPD can be vital to a rancher looking to decrease the amount of calves pulled in his herd.
Carcass weight (CW): Differences in pounds of hot carcass weight, adjusted to an industry standard age endpoint. Ribeye area (REA): Differences in ribeye area in inches between the 12th and 13th rib. Greater ribeye areas are preferable.
Milk (Milk): The genetic ability of a sire’s daughters to produce milk expressed in pounds of weaning weight. Calving ease maternal (CEM): Represented as percent of unassisted births in a sire’s first-calving daughters. A higher number represents more favorable calving ease. This EPD is important to a rancher’s bottom line because it predicts which animals produce daughters with a genetic pre-disposition to calve unassisted as heifers. Growth traits Birth weight (BW): Predicts the difference, in pounds, for birth weight of the calf. Weaning weight (WW): Predicts the difference, in pounds, for weaning weight (adjusted to age of dam and a standard 205 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to weaning. Yearling weight (YW): Predicts the expected difference, in pounds, for yearling weight (adjusted to a standard 365 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to yearling.
Thank you ... for attending our sale this year and for all the previous years of support!
Marbling (MB): Predicts the differences in the degree of marbling within the ribeye as expressed in marbling score units. Greater marbling numbers are preferable and are an indicator of higher carcass quality grades. Fat (FT): Differences for fat thickness, in inches, for a carcass over the 12th rib, smaller numbers of fat thickness are preferable as excess fat can be detrimental to yield grade.
WHAT IS AN INDEX? Indexes are tools that allow you to select for several EPDs at once, making selections more efficient than selecting on one trait at a time. Indexes weigh traits based on their importance to a producer’s bottom line by using a trait’s economic and genetic value. Indexes are a good way to put selection emphasis on traits that are economically relevant. Total maternal (TM): An index that combines growth and milk information as a prediction of the weaning weight performance of calves from a sire’s daughters. As an index, this value is not reported with an accompanying accuracy. A greater TM value means a mother that returns comparatively higher weaning weights on her calves. TM Index = MK EPD + ½ WW EPD. Feeder profit index (FPI): An economic selection index designed to aid producers in selecting sires whose progeny will perform in the feedlot and are sold on grade and yield. Well ranking sires for FPI have higher marbling and carcass weight than their contemporaries. As a terminal index, little emphasis is put on maternal traits such as stayability and calving ease.
