Trauernicht Simmentals Production Sale 2014 • Sunday, February 2nd • Beatrice, Nebraska

Welcome to our 39th Annual Production Sale! SELLING 78 PERFORMANCE TESTED BULLS 44 years in the business! “Quality is bred on...not fed on.”

Once again the time has come to assemble an offering for our 39th Annual Production Sale. You would think after 39 sales we would be cool, calm, and collected, but we are still like a kid waiting for Santa Claus…..We’re filled with excitement and anticipation! Clearly that means we have passion for what we are doing and believe in it whole-heartedly! Here at Trauernicht Simmentals we have more excitement and enthusiasm than we have ever had. With all time highs in the cattle business, we feel more optimism than ever! The Simmental breed is on fire, along with the Sim/Angus genetics. We are honored to be part of this association, and feel equally as honored that you have chosen to put your trust in the Trauernicht Simmentals program! Our tradition of excellence is one that we work hard to maintain and will continue to do so for years to come! We feel very strongly that our bulls are perfect for today’s industry. We strive to have high performing cattle that still maintain adequate calving ease. Another main focus at Trauernicht Simmentals is high fertility and maternal cattle. I know not every one of you keep your own heifers, but if you do feel confident that they will work well. 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 Scott, Denielle, Lauren Hope, Natalie & Lainey Trauernicht into his third 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 ways 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, Loren & Maxine Trauernicht Cindy, Ella, Grant and Mike Miller we wouldn’t be able to make this sale happen! Thanks for all the countless hours and the behind 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 customers. 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.

When you say proven genetics, one cow family comes to my mind first in the Trauernicht Program... 25Y. For those that are new to our program, and even those of you that have been with us for a while, you may or may not know 25Y. She did more for us than any other female could! She was the grandam of our last breed matriarch, 177G. As you go through our cow herd and follow LHT Ms Dream On 06T, dam the pedigrees back, almost half of them would have this great female in them somewhere. With that said, these bulls dam, Cherry, is the latest of the rising stars from this cow family. We have put her into overdrive trying to get more Scrotal 42.5 offspring on the ground out of her. I don’t care which of these brothers you Black Dbl Polled 1/2 SM 1/2 AN ASA#2766570 BD: 1-2-13 Tattoo: 09A choose, take one home and you’ll be happy!

She did it again!!!! The 5129 cow proves to be a no miss cow, especially when bred to Chopper!! These bulls will be full sibs in blood to the Chop House Bull that topped our 2012 bull sale. The reports on his first calves have been awesome!! Expect no difference from either of these two bulls. The Baldy has a little more frame and is a bit softer with a very maternal look to him. He is almost a spitting image of his older brother. The solid black one is made a little stouter in a smaller framed package. He is a little more angular in his design with a more extended front. Both bulls are very good - you will need to be the judge come sale day.

Scrotal 44 • When I think of this bull, one word comes to mind - Combination. He has it all! He is soft made, stout, and attractive, while still having enough calving ease to be bred to some heifers. All this while still being in the top 4% of the breed for weaning weight and Yearling weight EPDs. He even posted a 849 pound 205 day weight that ratioed him 125 and the top in his contemporary group!! Needless to say, he will surely be a favorite come sale day. IMF BF REA 2.66 .41 17.88

Scrotal 39 • Last year when I wrote the footnote for this bull’s brother, which was a top seller in last year’s sale, I wondered if that little first calf heifer will be able to keep this tradition up…I guess the answer is YES!! When you look back into his pedigree and see the immortal 30B cow, you would expect the tradition to continue. You will love the hip and the power in this bull! To top it off, with multiple generations of baldies in his pedigree, you should surely get those highly sought after baldy feeder calves! IMF BF REA 2.60 .22 17.0

That, my friends, is what we strive to do here at Trauernicht Simmentals. This will be the fourth Net Worth calf out of this bull’s dam, 126R. When the first one was born, we thought it was a fluke that he was so good… but over time, 126R has proven it to be a tradition to lay down and have a great one like this bull. With that kind of tradition, we would expect no less of this bull! We foresee him to sire some super feeder calves, as he himself ranks in the top 11% of the breed for Yearling Weight EPDS.

Scrotal 38 • This is the first year we have sold Iron Mountain calves, and we are sure proud to sell you this group of them! We liked them so much last spring that we bred him heavily again. So rest at ease, you will see more of them come next year. This bull is one big, stout made, thick-topped bull that we are expecting big things out of. We are confident if you buy bulls like this one, you will become a repeat customer. The most amazing thing to me is that although he is a twin, he still made it to the top in performance.

He is the perfect combination of performance and calving ease. I like to talk about tradition - his cow family carries the tradition of always having some of the best bulls in our annual bull sale.

I don’t know of a bull in any breed that calves any easier than High Voltage, and I will let you be the Judge about what you think as far as performance goes. This bull posted a 797 pound weaning weight and was at the top of his contemporary group.

Scrotal 37 • Here is another Mr. Confidence bull that is really impressive! This bull’s dam is an own daughter of the 5129 Angus donor cow of Dad’s that has done a tremendous job for us. I was shocked last year when she weaned one of the biggest bull calves as a first calf heifer, but I shouldn’t be surprised to see it again, as this year’s bull ratioed 110 at weaning time. This one looks good and has all sorts of performance to go with his smooth made structure . Look for him to keep getting better as he gets older.

Scrotal 36 • Tradition, tradition, tradition…. here is another classic example! He goes back to the 25Y cow family twice, and if you ask Dad, that makes him twice as good!! This is at the top of Dad’s list of top bulls. He has a little more frame in him, but he has enough rib and muscle to be one of the top herd bull prospects selling this spring. Check out his solid set of EPDS and to top it off, he is a baldy!!

What a set of brothers! I have to say that their dam is one of the best additions we have ever brought into the program. She hits every time……after you see these three Angus bulls, you will agree. Depending on where you want to go with them, you can certainly find one to work in your program. In my experience, the 06A bull is hard to fault. He has impressed absolutely everyone who has seen him on the farm. He is about as perfect of a structured bull as you can find. He has a very long extended front end that blends into a perfect shoulder. To add to the WOW factor, he boasts a huge sweeping ribcage and a big square made hip on him, all while setting down on a big foot. If we had more Purebred Simmental cows, we would not even think about offering this bull. We would be more than happy to help someone work on promoting this bull in the future. We feel he can do big things. 10A the bigger framed bull with a little more performance may work better for those of you needing a little more frame in your cows and still want to put some look and style in them. 112A, the little brother, is the calving ease version. He has more than enough performance, rib shape, and fleshing ability to run with his older brothers, while still putting small calves on the ground at birth and big feeder calves come fall. It doesn’t matter which one you would choose they will all do you an excellent job!

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

I

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 39th 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!

are exposed to 30 cows over 4 years ($50 diff. x 30 hd. x 4 yr. = $6,000). A percentileranking 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.

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 first-calving 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.

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 $2000, we will split the feed costs with you. Anything under $2000 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)

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.
