Beef Solutions Bull Sale - Fall 2023

A lesson in history helps to understand where we have come from, but also gives us the opportunity to reflect on change. History provides context. The Curran and Fischer families have been ranching in Amador and Calaveras Counties for over 150 years. Our roots as commercial cattlemen keep us grounded in the type and kind of cattle we produce and operations we run. Taking care of our resources, working hard and harvesting as many pounds of high quality product have always been the core principles of success in Agriculture. Our strong connection to this region and our foothill communities have honed our focus on the type of cow required to excel at this task.

• Produce the most pounds our environment will support

• Optimize our total cowherd performance through consistency

• Produce profitable, problem-free females that leave a lasting impact for generations

• Use EPDs and Genomics as tools to compliment, not replace, actual production and type in our genetic selection

We have a generational commitment to this lifestyle and have built cowherds that combine these goals, setting the stage for a sustainable future in this business. There is no

greater testimony to longevity than the simple fact that we are still here ranching right alongside you and our children aim to continue.

While we cherish our heritage, we understand and fully accept the responsibility of producing the kind of cattle that position our customers for success in the future. After all, our cowherd today is what yours will look like tomorrow. This offering is the culmination of many years of our breeding programs and an honest commitment to the ranching families that we are humbled to call our family and friends. We sincerely thank you for the opportunity to be your seedstock supplier.

AboutTime! It’s

Friends,

Welcome back to the Beef Solutions Bull Sale. In our letter last year, we shared “the cow business is about to get good!!” and boy has it! We have seen value shared up and down the supply chain for good cattle from your programs and all we can exclaim is “it’s about time.”

We firmly believe that Circle and Bruin Ranch genetics have become a household name and our customers’ cowherds hold value. Whenever we get out to ship calves at weaning or during branding season, we are blown away by the quality of the mother cows our customers have bred. All black hided cattle aren’t created equal and if you don’t believe us, go look around, your cattle are different, and they have value.

As the nation begins to rebuild a cowherd, we expect high demand for those solid and truly maternal cattle that you all have been breeding for years. The terminal-based selection criteria that dominates domestic cattle production has left a national cowherd that is big, hard and riddled with problems. A mother cow who is blue collar, does her job every year and is problem-free has become rare and valuable. We have often joked that at some point our customers’ heifers will outsell their market-topping steers and we think that day is here! Stay committed to solidifying your strong maternal base, this forces breeders to come to YOU as their source for replacements. We hope many of you see this as an opportunity to leverage the quality of your programs and find innovative ways to add premiums to the female side of your calf crop.

We hope you enjoy the offering; please join us for our pre-sale casual dinner at 5pm on Wednesday, September 27 at the sale facility. We look forward to seeing you at the Circle Ranch for the auction on Thursday, September 28 where a prime rib lunch and refreshments will be provided throughout the day. Please call with any questions including marketing options for your cattle, genetic strategies, adding value and any topics that may concern you. We treasure these conversations among our peers.

Please contact Tim, Joe or Jill with any questions or regarding room accommodations for out of town visitors.

“Our RICH HERITAGE of ranching in the gold country produce cattle with traits optimized to thrive in this

Bruin Ranch

country drives our quest to this region

.”

“The heart of our program lies in our generational passion for the commercial beef business. We have always bred cattle to work within our western rangeland environment. Cows that are long lived, productive and fertile continue to drive profitability. Our rich heritage of ranching in the Gold Country drives our quest to produce cattle with traits optimized to thrive in this region. Optimizing traits doesn’t happen by chance, it needs to be selected for through predictable pedigrees, actual production, maternal type and by having a strong knowledge of the environment and management scenarios the cattle are asked to perform in. Being raised on a cow/calf operation in Calaveras County provides a strong foundation that all our genetic decisions are tested against.”

An operation of this scope is impossible without help from our community; thank you to our parents at the AM Ranch for doing an outstanding job raising our Embryo calves. Our boys, Bennett and Myles have filled the roles traditionally occupied by a third employee with enthusiasm and outstanding work ethic. Wyatt’s loyalty and ability to analyze cattle is the best we have had, and we have reaped the benefit of the support and love of his entire family. Thank you, you have all stepped up when we need you the most, your passion for this program is essential for its success.

FROM OUR FAMILY To Yours Bruin Ranch

“Going MATERNAL doesn’t sacrifice GROWTH. Only way to get good growth is with a strong, solid, feminine cow. That’s your bulls. Such a solid program, my friend.”

Bruin Fellow sons

Fellow was our high seller of the 2019 bull sale going to Roberti and Questo Ranches. His first calf crop was the highlight of the 2021 bull sale season with the first sons selling to some of the most progressive herds in the west. These bulls are the front pasture type, commanding attention with their body length, extension, overall depth and muscle shape. Fellow has continued to jump through all the production hoops, producing the type of females the west

us going back to Fellow as a sire for the fifth year in our AI and ET Program. We confidently believe Fellow’s story in the Angus breed is just beginning.

Barricade sons

Sitz Barricade 632F • Sire of Lots 7-16

One of the most powerful bulls in the entire Angus population. Barricade is a proven breed changer for body depth, power and hoof quality. Our second offering of sons represents one of the larger opportunities to purchase a Barricade in the country. For our customers who run in the mountains or feed cattle at elevation, he looks to sire progeny who thrive in high altitude. Every mating in this offering was intentionally created to compliment the power of Barricade with a long, elegant fronted female to harness the maternal value of our cows.

His ultra-feminine dam offers a little different twist to the Blackbird line. 7277 is heavy milking, big bodied, long and pretty fronted. Her first retained daughter is a picture perfect first calf heifer.

In a pen of bulls, Kevlar is easy to spot. Besides bringing striking breed type, he is noticeably docile. While we were trying to score bulls, he allowed Wyatt to scratch him. A full brother, Bruin Jupiter 1792, was purchased to serve as a herd sire for Sackmann Cattle Company, WA. Kevlar’s Mother is a maternal sister to Bruin Envy 7248 and a sight to behold.

Three ¾ brothers bred for complimentary. Terms like best-we-have-raised, rugged, ultra-powerful, huge-bodied, loose-hided, and stud fill my notes on these brothers. We are undecided yet, but we still may collect one of these for our own use. In a footnote, it’s impossible to separate them and in production their dams are also very similar. Choose from three different female lines or tie them together, these brothers are built for modern beef production and female retention.

Comments on this bull say dense and full of muscle. 5005 was a very modest sized cow with the most picture-perfect feet you could draw on one. The Paxton 730P females were some of the most productive females we ever had on the place, they always brought in a huge percentage of their body weight and maintained flesh, true range cows.

Value Added sons

We call bulls like these snipers, using them for very specific traits without sacrificing our core beliefs. We used Value Added to add body length and performance to some of our more moderate cows. Consistent, proven and from a high reputation cow herd, the dam of Value Added is the most proven female to come out of the 50 year Hinman program. 3839 is a classically elegant female with length and productivity boasting a 107 NR on her first 3 calves. 3839 is the dam of several major league AI herd sires.

Kickback is an absolute beast, loaded with striking type, muscle, body and width. While his own performance and type set him apart, his outstanding Fellow mother is the model beef cow. 0704 is a gorgeous female. Her pretty head and front third blend smoothly into a deep and massive center body. Udder quality of 0704 is near perfect, and she is off to a roaring start ratioing 107 on her first calf.

Long, deep and powerful sums up this rugged cowman’s bull. A ¾ brother in blood to Lot 17, Kickstart is much the same. While we only have two Forager daughters, both are stunners. 0810 brings a little more power and growth to our traditional type and transmitted that same high octane to this son as he dominated the calf crop with a weaning ratio of 117.

A performance outlier and borderline heifer bull for those who have larger framed heifers. 2794 has always been a notch growthier, and stretchier than his contemporaries. His type and performance are a perfect complement for breeders looking to maximize growth.

Bruin Hologram 0734 • Sire of Lots 25-33

Our high seller in the 2021 sale selling to Vanderveen Angus in Kansas. We wasted no time in plugging Hologram right into our program. Hologram was the thicker, more powerful son of the flush, combining the best of SAV with our herd favorite Blackbird 4264. His proven sire has excelled for maternal value by leaving problem free, heavy milking daughters who are fertile and easy to be around. Our early analysis is that Hologram will be an easier to use option of the sire line, offering more modest birth weights and one of the most unique cows (4264) in the Angus breed.

Lots 25-27: A flush of brothers out of our 14-year-old donor Bruin 6262 Elba 9217. This set of bulls brings low birth weight predictions with off the charts IMF EPD. The flush sister mates to these bulls are outstanding and we can’t wait to get them into production. Big time maternal value in these brothers.

A really cool made bull, linebred to Blackbird 4264. This bull is cocky on the profile being upheaded, level topped, square hipped and deep bodied. I really like him and love the body type of his dam. These Envy daughters are just making their mark and breeding like true Blackbirds, leaving problem free females with perfect udder quality.

After 14 years, we finally had to ship 9248 after an injury. Those who have toured know she was my favorite Pioneer daughter. In 13 years she raised 11 calves from 11 straws of semen, a testament to the value of fertility and longevity for any operation. We are excited that her legacy will live through her daughters and granddaughters. This son is your opportunity to put the same traits into your operation. Undisputedly maternal.

Lots 34-36: A trio of brothers from the Revolution Genetics and Emigh Livestock herd sire Guardian. These bulls all have a cool look, plenty of shape and a more calving ease profile. We negotiated a deal with Emigh Livestock to use Guardian clean-up on our heifers and were thrilled with the results. We kept many heifer mates to these bulls.

Lots 37-39: A set of cold outcross sire line bulls. Ideal Encore 9524 Lady caught national attention for producing cattle with very light birth weight and exceptional growth. We watched Encore for several years and ultimately his outcross pedigree and elegant dam led us to sample him. These Encore sons are led off by a flush of the only cow we have taken to the limelight in Denver. We tried something new and offered ½ embryo interest and no possession in one of our rising stars (8204), to our surprise she topped the division and went to an incredible program in Vanderveen Angus. This first set of her sons and a grandson are rugged, masculine and powerful beef bulls.

Hardcore is a powerful, masculine high growth son from the Rainfall line. We used him natural service in partnership with Mile High Angus in Utah and the day he was to be collect was unfortunately found dead. There is no semen on Hardcore and this represents the only offering at Bruin Ranch. While there are only 4 sons, they are deep in quality. Lot 42 is one of the most complete bulls in the sale for anyone who can handle some birth weight. We plan to collect one of them before the sale, they are beef bulls and their heifer mates are as good as we can make them.

Eight Flush Brothers! Doing it the old-fashioned way, KG Justified 3023 made his name through use in commercial heifer breeding projects. We only used Justified on one cow and it was through the flush program. 5341 is the sister to Bruin Titanium 6261 and arguably the most powerful cow in our lineup. We hoped to compliment her power and type with the modest birth, milk and marbling of Justified. This set of bulls is younger and from an ET recip herd, they are a bit lighter but hang with them and they will breed true to their pedigrees and program behind them.

Circle Ranch

For generations, environmental adaptability has been and continues to be one of the most important breeding goals at Circle Ranch. Cows should work for their owners, not the other way around. We run our cows in a similar fashion to the majority of our customers to help ensure they will work in a variety of environments and promote profitability. That, too, is part of the reason we harness the power of heterosis to create a more durable genetic product capable of breeding and lasting longer regardless of the environmental challenges posed. We absolutely have a herd target for mature size that we think best fits the majority of our customers and the larger beef industry. The lions share of our bulls hit that target dead center and many of our customers prefer them. On the edges, however, you will find genetics here that can produce power house performance for higher resource situations as well as some lines created to minimize maintenance requirements for low-input regions.

Buying a bull, I’m

Right? Circle Ranch Circle Ranch

Most of us don’t really believe that, yet the gravity of the decisions associated with selecting the next generation of seed stock may be greater than you first think. All of us consider the calves these bulls might sire and the value they should return to the ranch. Most consider pricing bulls based on a projection of service hopefully of 4 – 8 years barring injury.

LETS ASSUME YOUR OPERATION PURCHASES 4 BULLS IN THE COMING FALL OF 2023

• First calves born in the fall of 2024.

• First daughters calving in the fall of 2026 (first granddaughters calve in 2028)

• With any luck 2 of these bulls are still breeding at age 6 in 2028.

• Last calves sired by these bulls born in 2029. Last crop females have their first calves in 2031 (Their first daughters calve in 2033).

• In the year 2040, there are still a few 11 and 12 year old daughters still in your herd from the bulls you purchased in 2023!

In the year 2040, the granddaughters and great-granddaughters of the bulls purchased 17 years ago still make up a substantial portion of the genetics in your herd!

I know most of us don’t like to think of the year 2040. If however your plans to keep or make the beef business an important part of your family’s livelihood as far out as 2040, which most of us do, the bulls you purchase this year will impact your operation nearly 20 years from now. Sire selection is that important, so use all the tools available to make the best decisions every time.

This is our fifth year developing our bulls at home. Last year we added two additional large pens in a rolling oak woodland area to again assure the bulls have plenty of shade and room to roam. The larger pen sizes gives the bulls a better chance to travel, stay loose jointed, athletic, and better prepared

for turn out day . Our ration which includes nearly 50% haylage from our own irrigated pastures, helps us reach our goal of a slower more consistent rate of gain that we feel extends the years of service of the bulls for our customers. Again on sale day you will notice the bulls that are slightly lighter in

weight and condition but are freer moving and more athletic and will not lose as much weight during the breeding season. Because the bulls are right here at home they are available for viewing any day from May until sale day.

74lb. LIGHTER COWS

Today’s industry pays big for heavy fat steers, but your pocketbook demands smaller cows. What to do?

The answer is clear, dependable data and the courage to bypass traditional straightbreeding.

Simmental-influenced cows are an average 74 lb. lighter at maturity than Angus-sired counterparts.a

Meanwhile, packers pay $20 to $34 more for SimAngusTM and Simmental-sired steers than English-sired calves.b

Finally, raise efficient cows and high-performance calves. The proof is in the data – and the cash.
