Welcome! Denny & Cara Drake

Mason, Sara, Ryder & Braelyn
Welcome to the 2018 Drake Bull Sale! Another calving season is upon us and prices remain steady as demand has kept pace with the increasing supply of red meat. As usual, there are uncertainties on the horizon. In addition to the old standards of weather and forage supply, the unknown effect of the current review of trade agreements and other policy matters will greatly effect demand, and therefore prices and profits, in the mid and long term. Because of the items out of our control it is as important as ever that we excel at those things we CAN control. One of these items is bull selection. In order to reduce uncertainties in that process it is imperative that we use the tools that are available to us. Do not disregard your visual analysis, especially as it relates to structural soundness. But add to those tools the comprehensive data that is available today in evaluating bulls. The Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) are proving to be an accurate and effective tool for trait selection, especially when combined with the actual measurements of the individual bulls. We see use of EPDs positively effecting our herd at both the individual and group level. As we write this we have calved over 40 first calf heifers and have touched three calves. The use of high calving ease EPD bulls is being reflected in the live herd. The bulls you will evaluate for this sale averaged 3.99 pounds per day of gain on a long 105 day test. The repeated use of high growth EPD bulls is being reflected in the live herd.
Brady, Hannah & Phoenix
We invite you to evaluate the phenotype, the individual performance records and the EPDs of the bulls offered in our sale. The predictability is bred in. The bulls have all received an extensive vaccination regimen, have tested negative for BVD and are semen tested. In short, these bulls eliminate so many of the uncertainties that can exist and will provide you with predictable and profitable genetics for years to come. We invite your questions and inquiries.
Flint Drake Family
Thank you.

The Drake Families A personal note from Larry & Carol... Denny & Hannah
For over 117 years our family has focused on raising sound, genetically advanced and attractive cattle in the hills of southern Iowa. We are so thankful that we live in the good ol’ USA, where we have been afforded the opportunity to live these dreams. We want to thank those involved that help make today’s operation and sale work. Thanks to Centerville Produce and Craig Sebolt for nurtitional counseling for the cattle. Craig has been our “feed man” for years and his advice, but mostly his friendship, are priceless! Thank you to Clarence Ballanger and Josh Spencer at Appanoose Livestock for their hospitality. They are always great to work with. Thank you to Eberspacher Enterprises – Val and Lori have done our sale for years and we’ve always known we are getting honest, sound, professional service above the call of duty. Most of all, we thank all of you who have purchased our cattle through the years. We love the cattle, the cattle business and most of all the people involved in the cattle business. They are the salt of God’s earth. Of course, this thing would not run without Mason and Sara Harlan. Thank you for everything!! Larry & Carol Drake

BULL BUYER’S GUIDE HOW TO UTILIZE API AND TI INDEXES First, determine which index to use; if you’re keeping replacements use

between bulls. (As described to the left, index units are in dollars per cow exposed.) The difference can be
Carcass Weight (CW): Pounds of carcass weight.
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.
