no bull. . . just the real deal!
Dear Cattle Producer: We are proud to present you with a group of outstanding cattle at this year’s 27th annual production sale. We have had a cow herd for 35 years now. After experimenting with various continental breeds, we began using Gelbvieh bulls and raising breeding stock. In recent years, we introduced Angus cattle to the herd because they complement the Gelbvieh cattle. We actually have the best set of Angus to date. We pick out our bull calves and replacement females then feed the rest. We consistently have closeouts with A.D.G.’s of 3.3 to 3.8, cattle that grade 72-93% choice with a high percentage of 1’s and 2’s, and convert from 5.7 to 6.4. There is a lot of caving ease, performance and carcass bred in these cattle. With this said, you are buying with confidence. Our promise to you is, “NO BULL”, just the REAL DEAL. Our 2014 sale bill offers bulls from several popular sire groups that we believe will be a good fit for your operation’s success. The bull calves are a result of our ET Program, extensive AI, and a very solid set of herd bulls on a hard working group of Swanson Cattle Company cows. Our sale this year will be broadcasted live on the internet by DV Auction (wwwdvauction.com). Visit this website prior to the sale to create a log in and register as an online bidder. Their Customer Service phone number is 402-316-5460. All bulls and heifers will be available for you to see prior to the sale at our ranch. We have confidence in our cattle and we strive to sell bulls and heifers that make a good fit with your personal operation. We look forward to seeing you on February 22, 2014 at the ranch. Lunch will be served at 11:00 am. If you cannot attend, please contact Jeff, one of the field representatives, ring men, or the auctioneer with any questions. Thank you for considering Swanson Cattle Company for your production needs. - Jeff Swanson

Congratulations XA Cattle
Swanson Cattle Company would like to congratulate long term customers Bill, Marie and Levi Farr for winning the 2014 American Gelbvieh Association Outstanding Commercial Producer Award. XA Cattle consists of 700 balancer cows and farms 2000 acres of dry and irrigated corn, soybeans, and wheat. The heifers start calving in February and the cows the end of March. In November cattle are pulled out of the hills and calves weaned. The calves are back- grounded then sold the end of February or the first week of March weighing 875 pounds. XA consistently sells at the top of the market with feeder cattle going to repeat buyers. Heifer replacements are selected and developed at the ranch for breeding. A strong emphasis is placed on reproduction with cows being restricted and selected to calve in a short calving season. This selection pressure has paid off as 85% of the cowherd calves in the first 45 days of the calving season. XA Cattle is located in South Central Lincoln County near Moorefield, Nebraska. 27th Annual Production Sale 17

The Value of Crossbreeding
Using Gelbvieh and Balancer® genetics in a simple, easy crossbreeding program adds productivity, longevity, and profitability with crossbred cows and hybrid bulls. Crossbreeding is not a new thing. Progressive cattlemen have utilized it for decades to make production systems more efficient and to utilize breed complementarity in order to meet market and consumer demands. Crossbreeding allows producers to make a product that is in demand and do it at less cost, regardless of environment. People in the business world say that is good. After all, more profit is a good thing. It’s smart business. The crossbred female is 30% more productive over her lifetime. The hybrid vigor advantages of the crossbred female make her more profitable to an operation over her straight-bred counterpart. Do the math in your own herd. It’s proven that with the crossbred cow you get an advantage of: +38% cow longevity; +25% lifetime productivity; +8% calf crop weaned; +5% weaning performance; +4% in calf yearling performance. It’s smart to take advantage of hybrid vigor. It increases profit. Crossbreeding is proven science. Cattlemen and cattlewomen can produce quality and have more profitability when utilizing it in a planned breeding system. Don’t believe otherwise. Using Gelbvieh and Balancer® genetics in your crossbreeding system is smart and easy. Don’t ranch without it. 27th Annual Production Sale 21

Cow-calf producers want females in their breeding herds that combine efficiency with productivity, balancing weaning weight of calves with amount of feed put into the cow. Gelbvieh and Balancer® females fill that spot for hard-working females that will last in your herd for years to come. While cattlemen and women have known for years that Gelbvieh means consistent and reliable females, Gelbvieh maternal efficiency is more than just word of mouth. Studies support Gelbvieh performance in maternal traits compared to other breeds. But how do these traits benefit commercial producers? There are several maternal traits that Gelbvieh excels at that help you watch your operation’s bottom line. Gelbvieh replacement heifers are younger at puberty According to the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (MARC) Cycle VII report, Gelbvieh females reach puberty at the youngest age and at the lightest body weight of any major beef breed. Studies have shown that heifers that reach puberty earlier in life can potentially conceive earlier in the breeding season, giving them more time to recover after calving and therefore contributing to on-time calving later in life. This means that reproductively efficient heifers can contribute to concise calving seasons. Heavier weaning weights with moderate birth weight Calves with Gelbvieh and Balancer® sires have also shown to have greater weaning weights compared to calves sired by other breeds, while still maintaining a moderate birth weight. No mystery here; heavier calves at weaning mean more money in the pocket for commercial cow-calf producers that sell at that time. “One of the only, yet very effective ways, to improve biological efficiency of beef cattle production systems is through the use of planned crossbreeding systems to leverage heterosis, especially maternal heterosis, and breed complementarity. Crossbreeding has been shown to be an efficient method to improve reproductive efficiency and productivity in beef cattle,” comments Dr. Bob Weaber. “One must remember that hybrid vigor is the percent increased performance between the average of the two parent breeds. This means that high quality genetic inputs are necessary to gain performance through heterosis - garbage in, garbage out,” said Dr. Bob Hough. “With the proper genetic inputs, lifetime pounds weaned per cow exposed can be increased by as much as 25 percent.”
