Welcome to our 11th Annual Sale! WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU APRIL 11TH!

W

Welcome to Brant Farms Genetic Balance Sale as we celebrate our 11th annual production sale on the 11th day of April, 2015. Don’t wait until the 11th hour to get here. Please come early and enjoy a cup of coffee and a cowboy cupcake. This will provide you with ample time to view the cattle and hunt one of us down if you have any questions. Join us for a hearty lunch beginning at 11:00 with the sale starting at noon sharp. As this goes to print we are enjoying April type weather of blue skies, bare ground and forecast temperatures of 60 degrees. I hope we do not have March weather the day of the sale! Regardless of what Mother Nature throws our way, we will handle it and I am very pleased and proud of the powerful, productive stock we have to offer you. I believe as you look through this catalog, you will find there is something for everyone. The feedback from our customers, who share our enthusiasm for this business, whether on a large or small scale, is a great tool for us as we plan ahead. Once again Brant Farms has some older age, fall-born, bulls for our customers who want to start breeding before grass is here. There is a nice selection of yearling bulls ready to go to work. The female side is dominated by purebred first-calf heifers and their Sim-Angus calves. Make sure to look up the X91U cow, Lot 40. Interested buyers are urged to view the sale cattle on Friday or any time prior to Wednesday of sale week. Visitors are always welcome. Please contact John Boy, Dustin, myself, or the staff of Eberspacher Enterprises if you have questions regarding the cattle offered for sale. As always, if you need to leave your cattle for a few days, don’t hesitate to ask - we are more than willing to work with you. Thank you for being a part of our sale, and whether you are reading our catalog from afar or joining us on sale day, we value your interest and confidence in our program. I would be remiss to not thank those who make today possible: my wife, Vicki, and our family - for sharing my vision; Julie who pushes all the paper and cattle into the chute; and the crew of Jimmy and Dustin, led by John Boy - who are dauntless and work tirelessly. Hats off! Sincerely, Ron Brant Dear Friends and Fellow Cattlemen:

WIN a new calf feeder!

Brant Farms will give away THREE CALF FEEDERS at the end of the sale. Lot numbers will be pulled out and the buyer of that lot will win a calf feeder. You must be present at sale to win.

Welcome to the 11th Annual Genetic Balance Sale. It sure doesn’t seem like a year has passed since I sat down to write my last introduction letter; but as the old saying goes, “Time flies when you’re having fun.” The Beef industry is sure an exciting place to be right now. Cattle producers are enjoying all-time high feeder calf prices which make it even more important to evaluate your herd and invest in genetics that will add pounds to your calf crop. And we all know that pounds are what pay. We have a great selection of bulls to choose from again this year. As we have done in the past, the bulls have been fed a high roughage ration, developed slowly and given plenty of room to exercise. We also have a great set of females to offer. Ron has really dug deep and picked some great ones. These females have a strong set of calves that will accompany them into the ring. Many of these calves are sired by breed leading AI bulls which represent the newest genetics on the market. As I have stated in the past, we believe in producing quality, functional cattle that work. I would like to thank Jimmy and Dustin for picking up the slack for me when I’m chasing my kids around the country playing hockey. I thank Julie for all she does. I would also like to thank Ron and Vicki for the opportunity they have given me. Last, but definitely not least, I want to thank my wonderful wife and kids for putting up with my crazy schedule. I look forward to seeing everyone sale day. Please feel free to stop by or contact Ron or myself with any questions you may have.

John Boy

Bull Buyer’s Quick Guide to ASA EPDs & $ Indexes

Definitions of Terms

Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs): EPDs are the most accurate and effective tool available for comparing genetic levels. Back Fat (BF): Inches of backfat. Birth Weight (BW): Pounds of birth weight. Calving Ease (CE): Percent of unassisted births when used on heifers. Carcass Weight (CW): Pounds of carcass weight. Maternal Calving Ease (MCE): Percent of unassisted births in firstcalving daughters. Milk (MLK): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk. Marbling (MRB): Marbling score. Maternal Weaning Weight (MWW): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk and growth. Ribeye Area (REA): Square inches of ribeye. Warner-Bratzler Shear Force (WBSF): Pounds of force required to shear a steak. Stayability (STAY): Percent of daughters remaining in the cowherd at 6 years of age. Terminal Index (TI): Dollars per cow exposed under a terminal-sire scenario. Weaning Weight (WW): Pounds of weaning weight. Yearling Weight (YW): Pounds of yearling weight. Yield Grade (YG): Yield grade score.

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.
