Drake Bull Sale 2015
! e m o c l e W
Welcome to the Drake Bull Sale - 2015 Edition. What a great time to be in the cattle business!
As all of you cattle-folk know, these are the times we’ve been waiting for through tough years and lean years. We have all hung in there, we survived, and we had fun! We remember the good times and so many good people.
Denny Drake Family
Larry & Carol Drake
Along the way we have improved the Simmental cattle in every way. As you study these bulls you will notice the calving ease numbers and birth weights are excellent with many real calving ease sires. You will see great performance in sound, easy to look at packages. You will see many very attractive blaze faced bulls and bulls of any percentage you want from 1/4, 3/8 and many 1/2 blood SimAngus™ and purebred bulls. We don’t creep feed our calves as we want to know what our cows are really doing. Almost any cow can raise an 800 lb. weaning weight calf if you grain the whole works. Our cows are maintained like most commercial herds; never in a barn, calve on pasture ground, take care of and raise a good calf, breed back and do all of this on the feed and environment of these Southern Iowa hills. These cows fit the environment! You will find here high performing, trouble-free, common sense bulls that will make you money for years. We thank everyone for your interest and support through the years.

Calving ease, pounds and good EPDs in a very attractive package.
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.
Bull Buyer’s 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 allpurpose-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.

FROM THE FEED SPECIALISTS:
Once again, Drake Simmental has produced an outstanding set of high quality bulls. The bulls were developed using Purina Accuration Beef Grower and cracked corn. The Accuration Beef Grower regulates the amount of feed eaten per meal and the total amount consumed throughout the day by the bulls. With this feeding system, the bulls are developed on a nutrient dense ration that allows them to express their genetic potential for growth and carcass traits without compromising structural soundness in the feet and legs. This is evident in the fact that as a group the bulls averaged 3.67 lbs per day on test and had a very impressive feed efficiency of 4.9 lbs. of feed per pound of gain, both highly heritable traits. The Drake family has developed the bulls using this program for over twelve years and their customers have been complimentary of the soundness and durability of their bulls. N.T. Cosby Senior Consulting Nutritionist Purina Animal Nutrition Drake’s bulls are known for proven performance and high quality genetics. They are always raising the bar to meet their customers’ demands. This set of bulls performed virtually identical to the bulls last year. This ability to utilize a nutritional package that allows predictable results with animals that are superior in genetics is a perfect combination to enhance the quality of performance. Accuration Beef Grower has impressed Drake’s and sold them on using the nutritionally enhanced program in the future. If you are looking for a bull, look no further than this set of bulls today, they have the complete package to perform for you and increase your bottom line. If you are interested in a similar program please contact me at 319-325-3784. Angela Hotz Cattle Specialist Purina Animal Nutrition
