Hawks, Grand Valley Gelbvieh/Balancers, Greenhill Gelbvieh, Guymon Livestock, McCarty Cattle Co., ProHart Seedstock, Dave Vandenhoek, YJ Mountain Ranch Gelbvieh 205 Wt. - This is the weaning weight adjusted to 205 days of age. For example: a bull weighs 650# at 220 days old with an 80# BW 650# - 80# = 570# (weight gained in 220 days) 570# divided by 220 days = 2.59#/day 2.59# per day x 205 days = 531# 531# + 80# (birth weight) = 611# An age of dam adjustment is added so that older cows or heifers can be compared to the average cow. These 205 day weights are figured by the animal’s respective breed office. These adjusted numbers are useful for within herd comparison where environmental factors are the same.

Scrotal Circumference - is a measur ement taken to help deter mine if a bull’s heifer calves will reach puberty earlier than any other bull’s and also sperm production is directly proportional to scrotal size. As of now there is no adjustment for age, but 32 cm for a one year old and 36 cm for a 2 year old is a good standard. Remember that a 9 month old bull will have a good scrotal size at one year if he measures 29 cm.

P.A.P. or Pulmonary Artery Pressure - is an indication of a bull’s genetic ability to tolerate high altitudes. The higher the P.A.P. score the lower the altitude the bull should be maintained at. Bulls that develop brisket may or may not have a genetic problem, but may be the result of an environmental influence such as sickness, feed, or stress. Dr. Tim Holt recommends that bulls with a P.A.P. score greater than 48 be used at elevations lower than 6,000 feet.

Genetic Defects - We have sear ched all pedigr ees to the best of our ability and all bulls selling ar e fr ee from any known defects.

About the Bulls - The bulls have all been fed together . Our goal was to aver age a 3.3# A.D.G. We believe that fat bulls ar e not practical. The 3.3# per day is enough growth for a group, knowing some will exceed this rate due to genetics or due to the bull’s ability to consume more feed than others (temperment, environment, etc.).

The yearling bulls have been vaccinated with 8 way, Cattle Master 4 (or equivalent), One Shot, Fusogard, and Inforce 3. All bulls have been wormed with Dectomax and have been fertility and P.A.P. tested. All bulls - Trich and PI-BVD tested negative. Average daily gain and scrotal circumference will be available on sale day.

Bulls traveling to UT, WY, AZ, & NM - All “Pot of Gold” bulls sold will have been tested once for trichomoniasis, found negative, and ready to haul. The vet will write a health permit for you.

Hauling of Bulls/Feed - All bulls may be hauled directly from the sale or can be delivered to central locations as needed. Bulls can be fed at Denham’s Feedlot for $2.50 per yearling bull per day (price good for 90 days). “Pot of Gold” can help with these arrangements but the owner of the bull(s) will be responsible for all vet costs, feed costs, and liability on the bull(s).

Dear Fellow Cattlemen,

Welcome to the 24th annual “Pot of Gold” Bull Sale! Whether you are looking for Gelbvieh, Angus, or Balancers we have a great set of bulls: from calving ease to performance along with carcass and maternal traits. Come and see for yourself!

As breeders we have continuously been selecting for the best possible genetics and incorporating the latest technology available into our cattle programs. This year we have taken another step forward and tested most of our bulls for Genomic Enhanced (GE) EPDs. GE EPDs combine DNA markers with an individual animal, his pedigree, and his progeny data into EPD calculations. The major benefits of GE EPDs are: improved accuracies, an increased rate of genetic progress, and getting data on economically important traits that are expensive or difficult to measure. Most importantly, it allows us as seedstock producers to provide better genetics that you can use with even greater confidence. Bulls tested in this way will have a GE* designation under the EPDs heading in the “bull box”. For your convenience, in the foot notes, we have highlighted traits in which the bulls excel.

In the event you are unable to attend the sale, there are two ways to participate: First, you can watch the sale “live” and bid on-line from your own computer. You must sign up with dvauction.com prior to the sale, (preferably a day or two before) to make sure your internet speed is accommodating.

Secondly, feel free to use our satisfaction guarantee on all phone orders! (See page opposite for sale day phone numbers).

Videos of the cataloged bulls will be available for viewing on the 17th of February at gelbviehbulls.net or dvauction.com.

Check out the bulls in the sale pens the day before the sale or arrive early on sale day, Friday, February 27th to decide which Gelbvieh, Angus, and Balancer bulls will work best for you. The sale starts at 12:00 noon just after our complimentary lunch.

If inclement weather prevents you from bringing your trailer or you want to grow your bulls for a longer period, Denham’s Feedlot will feed your bulls until you are ready to pick them up. We look forward to seeing you and your friends!

Sincerely, “Pot of Gold” Bull Sale

WHAT EPDs ARE NOT First, EPDs do not indicate how many pounds will be added to a herd’s average by using a particular bull. Only the differences among bulls are relevant. Second, EPDs can and probably will change on a bull as more information is added. In fact, every bull evaluated will get a new set of EPDs the next time the American Gelbvieh Association and American Angus Association conducts another genetic evaluation. Third, EPDs can not be compared across all breeds. Gelbvieh and Balancer EPDs ar e now on the same base with Simmental and Red Angus, which means that EPDs for each trait (except stayability) are directly comparable to American Simmental Association and Red Angus Association of America’s EPDs. And finally, EPDs are one of several tools that should be used together in order to ensure that you find the best bull for your needs and long term goals. Factors such as fertility, structural soundness, muscling and frame size should also be considered. EPDs are the best tools for genetic risk management available today.

EPDs are used to compare sires within a breed. Environment is removed so bulls that were raised differently can still be compared.

BW, WW, YW, Milk, and TM are all expressed in pounds. The bigger the number, the more pounds you can expect.

Example: Bull A = BW of 3.2, WW of 68 Bull B = BW of -0.4, WW of 56 Bull A’s calves would be expected (on average) to weigh 3.6 pounds more than bull B’s calves at birth.

Bull A’s calves would be expected (on average) to weigh 12 pounds more than Bull B’s calves at weaning.

If a bull had 100 calves born to him the average performance of those calves would equal his EPDs.
