Trauernicht Simmentals Production Sale 2016 • Sunday, February 21st • Beatrice, Nebraska

The Trauernicht Families would like to invite you on Feb. 21st!

Welcome to our 41st Annual Production Sale! SELLING 95 PERFORMANCE TESTED BULLS 46 years in the business!

“Quality is bred on...not fed on.”

Darrin Minge, Livestock Specialist • 785-747-7422 Welcome to Trauernicht Simmentals Annual Production Sale. It is always a great pleasure for us to work with the Trauernicht family at their bull and female sales as their marketing partner. Something we always admire about the Trauernichts is that it is a true family operation and all of the family pitches in to make the sales successful. There are three generations of the family actively participating in raising good cattle for their valued customers. This is inspiring to us and a lot of fun to work with them all. Speaking of valued customers, Loren and Scott have always put their customers’ needs at the forefront. From their breeding decisions, to their assistance before and after the sale, they want their customers to be satisfied with the cattle and genetics they select at each sale. They work hard to breed cattle with longevity and stand behind them. We invite you to Beatrice on February 21st for a great sale of bulls. If you are unable to attend that day, you can bid online through liveauctions.tv. If we can be of any assistance, please call. Sincerely, Eberspacher Enterprises Inc.

Another year has come and gone…it has been quite a ride! We have seen more ups and downs in the cattle business than I have ever seen. Cattle price has started to recover some. The last bred cow sale here locally had bred heifers back up close to $3000, which tells me there is still a lot of demand for good cattle! I don’t claim to know a lot, but with the leaner times that have come around lately, it is more important now to have efficient, functional cattle! We still sell cattle by the pound and recognize as a seed stock producer that we need to have easy calving, easy doing, functional cattle that flat out grow! We feel confident with our breeding program that we continue to improve upon our motto – “Quality is bred on…not fed on!” As always, we strive to be very service-oriented and would be more than happy to assist you with marketing your calves and LHT Brand slaughter bulls. We continue to get calls back from several of the first LHT sired heifers – people just can’t believe the quality of cows they are making and they want more! With the high calf prices, it has been a challenge to find enough LHT Brand sired calves to fill the orders I have. Please don’t hesitate to call me if we can help you market your calves, as there is a demand for them. Darrin Minge continues to work as our LHT Brand Livestock Specialist. Going into his 4th year at Trauernicht Simmentals, he is truly committed to our program. We couldn’t do it without him! He has been a huge asset to our operation. He has steadily improved our conception rates through his dedication to heat detection and proper nutrition programs. Additionally, he continues to look for way to improve efficiency by having the whole cow herd calve much tighter and get more AI calves every year. Feel free to contact Darrin, in addition to Scott and Loren, as he knows the cattle as well as anybody. He is also a great person to talk to if you would like some ideas on trying to improve the reproduction in your herds. We at Trauernicht Simmentals owe a special tribute to all the friends and neighbors who help make our annual production sale possible. Without you, we wouldn’t be able to make this sale happen! Thanks for all the countless hours and the behind the scenes work that each and every one of you do. Since some of you have never seen a sale from the front, you wouldn’t know that it looks like I have a professional crew! We are truly blessed – you are the best crew! Last, but certainly not least, we want to thank you, our loyal customer. With your overwhelming acceptance of our Simmental and SimAngus bulls we are able to have remarkable success in raising seed stock! Never have our bulls been in such demand, and consistently to sell out early year after year! Your success stories have brought us great joy and continue to motivate us to continue on! You are truly appreciated.

Sincerest Thanks! LT & Scott

Making Tracks exemplifies exactly what his name implies! He has been one special animal since the day he was born. He is the definition of a true standout. He was that calf that caught the attention of everyone who went through the pen. Then, when we took him out in the show ring for the very first time at the prestigious Iowa State Fair, he made it as Calf Champion and then went on to take the Reserve Champion Purebred Bull banner! Judge Steve Reimer commented that he just couldn’t wait to see how this bull develops…Well, he continues to impress. He has more opportunities than any bull we have ever raised. He has the pedigree…a descendent of the great J&C/SS Bernadette cow. The look…Reserve Champion Purebred Bull at the Iowa State Fair. Tremendous growth and power…weaning weight in the top 25% and yearling weight in the top 15%. This is a bull that we plan on using in our own herd. We are selling 50% possession Your choice of Fall or Spring. We have plans to promote this bull, let’s partner up and enjoy the ride!

I think you will truly appreciate this pair of bulls when you see them! Here’s the icing on the cake… they are out of our lead donor, Ginger, who is doing a tremendous job for us.

This bull is one that has caught a lot of attention, and rightfully so! He is as deep of a purebred bull as you will find, along with being very structurally correct and sound. He hides his power with a generous amount of smoothness and completeness. To top that off, take a look at his royally bred pedigree! Buy this bull with confidence, as his young Built Right dam is on her way to the top of our herd. She consistently cranks out some extremely good ones! Jeff Dean of Dean Cattle Company bought his full sib brother last fall for $8000. Retaining 1/3 semen interest and selling 100% possession.

04C is a solid black bull that is very well made, sired by Augustus a bull with very good numbers and is an outcross to Dream On. His grandam, Miss Jesse, is one of our donors and comes from the very successful Zeis Maxine A231/Zeis Miss Jesse G177 cow family, which has produced some great cows. He should make some very eye appealing females.

Not many bulls born in March ever make it in the sale, just because of their age. Even a smaller percentage have ever been a sale highlight! This bull got on my radar when he was on grass last summer and he continues to grow on me! He is just so deep and stout…and then check out his EPDs…6 traits in the top 2% or better. If you sell cattle by the pound, he needs to be on your short list!

This star faced stud has been on the short list all year long! He does it on paper and on phenotype. He ratioed 108 weaning weight and 104 yearling weight. Clearly, this bull will do the job. With the cow family he comes from, he certainly has my stamp of approval!

Very complete….no holes! This is the only way I know how to describe this bull. He is moderate framed, big topped, huge ribbed, adequate boned and has lots of muscle, while still being a calving ease bull with lots of maternal traits. He was supposed to be our next red donor female!

This is a bull that doesn’t take very long to find. He is just so smooth made, complete, but yet powerful! He even ranks in the top 4% of the breed for 6 different traits. If you need a little bigger bull, don’t overlook this one!

Here is a very unique set of three Angus Bulls! We are selling three full sibs to our 2014 top selling Angus bull, who sold for $8,500 to Bob Engle of Geneva. This has been such a successful mating! These bulls are big, stout made, Angus bulls that have bone and muscle and will still add that desired look – the one that will get buyers to pay a premium for your calves!

Bull Buyers Guide Explanation of How to Utilize API and TI Indexes First, determine which index to use; if you’re keeping replacements use API, if not, TI. Then, just as with EPDs, zero in on the unit difference between bulls. (As described to the left, index units are in dollars per cow exposed.) The difference can be used to determine how much a bull is worth compared to another. Or, put another way, how much you can pay for one bull compared to another. For example, when buying an all-purpose-type sire, you can quickly figure a bull scoring +100 for API is worth an extra $6,000 over a $50 bull if both are exposed to 30 cows over 4 years ($50 diff. x 30 hd. x 4 yr. = $6,000). A percentile-ranking chart is required to determine where a bull’s index value ranks him relative to other bulls in the breed. For more information, visit www.simmental.org.

would first of all like to say THANK YOU! We appreciate your interest in LHT Brand Cattle! It is with extreme excitement and gratitude that I invite you to our 41st annual Bull sale. The customers have spoken! We at Trauernicht Simmentals are doing our part to move forward according to customer demand. We know you are inundated with ads that that boast the best set of bulls or females ever raised…..well I’m not going to say a word, I will let you decide! We continue to move forward in what we feel are cattle that are right for the times. With that being said, we assure you that we are committed to following the Trauernicht Tradition. Our program offers to you “Performance Cattle with a Touch of Style” along with “Quality That is Bred on, Not Fed On.” We believe in these mottos and build our program around them with every decision we make. Some breeders are strictly numbers and some are strictly looks. We strive to be a combination of both. We believe too much of a good thing is not a good thing. Our belief is that you have to consider more than one trait and select for functional cattle. That is where we say bred on not fed on! We want easy fleshing, highly fertile, performance cattle that calve easy and still have some look to them! Trust me, that is not easy to breed for, but that is our Program and Tradition! As always we offer a sight unseen program and will guarantee every purchase is exactly as stated to you or your money back. This program continues to grow every year and we will sell approximately half our bulls this way again this year. We will have complete Performance data, Ultrasound data, and Breeding exam data available for you the week of the sale. Once again please don’t hesitate to contact me or Scott to help assist you in any way that we can. On bulls that sell for more than $3000, we will split the feed costs with you. Anything under $3000 will be the responsibility of the new buyer. Once again, we would be happy to take the bulls home and care for them until April 1, but would highly encourage you to take out insurance on them for this amount of time. Back by popular demand! We put together a scale from 1-10 on the traits that we feel are most important to our customers based on our most frequently asked questions. These ratings will take the place of writing individual comments on each and every bull.

Terminal Cross (TC)

Bulls that are meant for customers that want to feed out their cattle.

Maternal (M)

Should find another choice

Will work fine but there are probably better choices

As good as it gets to produce efficient feeder cattle

Not suitable

Would be okay but could find better

Would make ideal cows

Use only on old cows and still expect some difficulty

Use on any cow and some heifers with caution

Use on heifers with confidence

Nervous in the pen and stays clear to the other end

Will get nervous when strangers enter pen, relaxed when in familiar environment

Takes extreme measures to get excitable

Bulls that you would want to keep daughters out of. We consider their dam’s udder formation, calving interval, the maternal milk EPD and the average times a cow is bred before conception.
