Emulation N Bar 5522 is the 1982 born preeminent ABS Global calving ease sire and is the sire of the legendary Angus building block, “EXT”. “5522” transmits early maturity and moderate frame, and his productive daughters have great udders that hold up and last. The Indreland’s went back to Emulation N Bar 5522 for this unique flush to create genetics that have quality, longevity and maternal strength in their unique low input, high profit based program that also emphasizes end product excellence. The donor dam, IA Power Keyban 016, is a key contributor in the Indreland herd. First of all, she’s still alive at 20 years of age and is also the dam of Indreland Viking 4904, a top herdsire in this breeding program. The mating to Indreland EXT 8904 intensifies the genetic pool and strengthens it for production and longevity. “8904” is sired by Indreland EXT 5520 (EXT x Viking 975 GDAR), and he is out of IA Power Keyban 016, the 20-year-old PJM Powerpoint daughter who is the dam of this foundation female. Say you have a son or daughter that’s entering kindergarten this year. There’s a great chance this foundation female will still be in your herd when they graduate from college. The longeity is bred in!

He’s one of the really long bodied bulls in the breed, and his attractive, strong topped daughters are a sight to behold in the McRae and Sydenstricker herds. From a long list of breed improving sires from the Royal Queen cow family, “Directive” has proven to be a top curvebender that makes great daughters. A top son, SydGen Turbo 6684 posts some of the breed’s top performance (WW +78, YW +141) EPDs. • Real value does not get much better, as “Predestined” sire progeny are worth more at auction, worth more as finished cattle on the grid and people like the way they look. The “Predestined” x “Directive” blend at Big Dry Angus Ranch has proven to be a golden cross. • The service sire, B/R New Day 454, is a balanced trait “New Day” son featured in the Select Sires A.I. lineup out of a “323” dam. He was the top gaining bull in his calf crop at Rishel Angus and has sired several high selling sons at Wiederstein Pure Angus in Iowa.

The foundation 3rd dam is sired by BLR 6807 6060. • Vermilion X Factor is the popular Vermilion Ranch performance and big REA sire that can really stamp out progeny with great phenotype. His length, style, thickness and shape is sensational. • If you’re serious about leading a winner in 2011, you’d better take a long look here. For starters, she’s really thick, correct, broody, stylish and has a leg planted squarely on all four corners. Last year’s maternal sister is absolutely incredible . . . this one’s even better.

• Double bred to EP Traveler 415. He’s a low birth weight “5204” son bred in the Elk Park Angus Ranch herd at Columbia Falls, MT. • The maternal grandsire, OCC Montana Design 502, was bred in the Olson Cattle Co. program at St. Ignatius, MT. He is a maternal brother to OCC Montana Dream 003, the high selling bred heifer in the 2001 NILE who was selected by SydGen, Mexico, MO. She was the grandam of the $54,000 SydGen Doc 9017 who topped the 2009 SydGen Bull Sale to Whitestone-Krebs and TC Ranch in Nebraska. • This pedigree also traces four times to Jolly R Rito 7122 bred in 1987 by John Hoyt’s Jolly Roger herd at Belt, MT. • This heifer ranks in the top 1% for BW, WW and $W among non-parent females. • Stenberg Coalition 509 is perhaps the most unique breeding piece in the country. He’s featured in the ORIgen A.I. lineup and has the unusual prepotent ability to tone down skeletal size and still improve growth rate, fleshing ability, rib shape and fertility with very low birth weights. He’s a commercial man’s dream and is one of the exciting emerging sires in the business. With a new photo in place and a glimpse at his really powerful dam, it is easy to witness how this is all unfolding. To top it all off, Stenberg Coalition 509 is homozygous for all the identified Tenderness genes by both Igenity and GeneStar®. • When you study the data, study the unique outcross genetics that are in place here and study the stacked high cow production in the maternal lineage, this heifer surfaces as one that any serious breeder or student of genetics must study and evaluate. She was hand picked for the NILE by Gary Wall and the Stenberg’s to showcase what a great breeding bull can accomplish and as a coming out party for her sire.

Remember, Reece Idland donated the $6,300 heifer in the 2009 NILE that propelled the Ten For 2010 program for the Montana Junior Angus Association.

• Individual Performance: BW 82 lbs. Adj. 205 Wt. and ratio available sale day. • Grandam’s Production: 2 NR 106. • A maternal sister to the dam by Mytty In Focus ratioed 119 and was the heaviest heifer in the 2009 Idland calf crop. She sold to Jim Michels, Gain & Weigh Stock Farms, Stanley, IA. • The grandam, “Miss Wix 4618” was the 2010 Montana State Fair Reserve Champion Cow/Calf Pair and a featured donor at Idland Cattle Co. • The foundation 3rd dam, Miss Wix 415 of McCumber, is an own daughter of “6807” and was the $17,000 2nd high selling cow in the 2000 Chuck King Dispersion in Minnesota. This cow family is also known as the tribe that produced the legendary Miss Wix 365 of McCumber. • Hoover Dam represents the crown jewel in the breed’s premier docility lineage all featured in the ORIgen A.I. lineup. Hoover Dam posts a perfect 10 on the Igenity DNA profile for docility, while his sire is #1 in the breed at +43 and his paternal grandsire is tied for #3 at +35. • It’s early in the long term observation in watching a new sire group develop. With all of Hoover Dam’s thickness, it has been a pleasant surprise to see moderate, calving ease type birth weights, and the femininity of his daughters as calves and at weaning is remarkable and very desirable. Those two traits are in play with this Hoover Dam daughter.

She was the 2008 Montana State Fair Grand Champion Cow/Calf Pair. She currently posts 2 BWR 98, 2 NR 118, 1 YR 119 with 2 @ REA 117. She has already produced two high selling sons in recent Idland bull sales and her influence in the future in this program is unlimited. Scrotal EPD I+.95. • Another maternal brother by LCR Precision 112, ICC RI Go Fast 8102, was the Supreme Champion Bull at the 2009 Montana State Fair. He has been the commercial man’s favorite at the Idland ranch. • The donor dam is a moderate, easy keeping, low birth weight Pass Creek bred cow that perfectly fits the eastern Montana arid pasture conditions. Her progeny have been endorsed by the people that count the most: the commercial customers who greatly appreciated her kind moving “7152” up to the donor pen. That’s been one of the wisest decisions Glen Idland has ever made even though she didn’t have a famous pedigree history with national show and sale recognition. She was, however, the “put up or shut up” kind that top cowmen recognized, and her progeny perfectly fit the environment to be the cowboy’s kind too. • The Hoover Dam females are thick, balanced, feminine and will get your attention. Several experienced Angus breeders have commented that Hoover Dam is arguably the thickest Angus bull they have witnessed in the past 15-20 years. He continues to impress ORIgen viewers with his powerful phenotype and gentle disposition.

Charley, Becky and Jack Jennaway are serious about making good, honest working genetics . . . the cattle you can trust, which is their herd motto. Look for this special female to be near the top sale day, and if you can put together whatever it takes to own her, you’ll bring home a real jewel. • To illustrate how tough it is to find breeding stock with these specs, there are only three proven bulls in the Angus Sire Summary that put this genetic arithmetic together. They are: Apex In Focus 296, Bluegrass New Design 205 and SDR Chief Justice 662. Buy her and build the next great one. The interim EPDs on the TC Aberdeen 759 mating are: BW -0.5, WW +57, Milk +26, YW +96.

When you combine the “EXT” influence with the Select Sires feature VDAR Valiant, more pedigree power is evident. • This March show heifer prospect is long bodied, feminine and nice fronted. She combines a pedigree rich in real working cattle in western Montana and is being presented by a first time contributor to the NILE. Travis Jeppesen is a sharp, bright Angus enthusiast with a strong passion for quality genetics for the future of the breed. His talents and his generation represent a positive vision for the beef business.

He sired the 2007 NILE Grand Champion Female and 2008 Western Regional Bred and Owned Grand Champion Female. • Blending “Cutting Edge” and “Image Maker” back to back offers two very valuable genetic twists. First, are their very high $W Values of +44.47 and +43.72. They rank in the top 10 bulls in the breed for this trait. Secondly, for DNA excellence this combo is very intriguing. Laflins Cutting Edge 2075 offers a perfect six star profile for Tenderness and perfect eight star profile for Feed Efficiency while “Image Maker”also has a perfect six star profile for Tenderness on the GeneStar® system. • With big league genetic arithmetic, a proven cow family and the upside of DNA strength this could be the most genetically valuable heifer in the NILE.

Scrotal EPD I+.16. • Two top producing maternal sisters by “1407” and “On Target” have been retained by Jordan Stevenson to help build her college fund. • The maternal grandsire, Basin Rainmaker 654X, was exported to Argentina for $40,000 after two breeding seasons. His daughters were fertile, easy fleshing females who combined tremendous milking ability and udder quality, which propelled “654X’s” Milk EPD into the top 1% of the breed. • There’s a story about the “654X” dam that needs to be told and speaks volumes about the meaning of family at Stevenson’s. This cow was purchased as a gift to Jordan Stevenson, Jed’s daughter, by Jeanette Stevenson when she was really little to build for the future and get started in the Angus business. • The maternal tabulation combines the Alta Genetics Pathfinder sire, Stevenson Fortune 425C, with the 3rd dam who is an own daughter of Impact 2000 GG. • Her sire, “Pendleton”, is the popular Genex featured calving ease bull who is one of the longest bodied bulls in the breed, while the service sire, “Coal Bank”, is a low birth weight Basin Max 602C son that offers true calving ease plus high altitude strength.

They’ve added some great herd bulls to their sire battery the past two years and were one of the best stops on the recent Montana Angus Tour.

• Individual Performance: BW 61 lbs, BWR 100, 205 Wt. 663 lbs, WWR 100 with 1 contemporary. • Dam’s Production: 1 BWR 100, 1 NR 100. • Grandam’s Production: 2 BWR 99, 2 NR 97. • Super low birth weight genetics out of a two-year-old “Contrast” dam owned by Brad and Stacie Arntzen and from a breeding program that has put years of intense selection pressure on calving ease genetics. • Sitz Dash 10277 is Accelerated and Arntzen owned herdsire that is a unique calving ease “Upward” son in a moderate, correct package backed by the maternally respected Sitz Everelda Entense cow family. The low birth accelerated early performance and the shut down in mature size fits the Arntzen’s, their commercial customers and the breeding goals of a large portion of Montana’s cowboys about right. He comes in a package with less comparable birth weight, mature weight and production grief than about any Angus bull identified in the industry. • The maternal grandsire, Connealty Contrast, is the ABS and KG Ranch herdsire whose daughters are attractive, heavy muscled and easy fleshing. He has proven to be one of “Danny Boy’s” best sons. • HARB Windy 702 JH is a real cowmaker featured in the Genex A.I. lineup, while the foundation 3rd dam is sired by the “6595” son, BA Alliance 1299, that is featured at Buckeye Ranch, Laramie, WY. • This “Dash” daughter is really blown apart with a great rib cage, is balanced with the right size to make a long term brood cow and has a thick, beefy hip. Take advantage of the Arntzen genetic leadtime here.

Calving Interval 2 @ 370 days. • Out of a two-year-old moderate framed, good uddered young cow that represents Keith and Kevin Arntzen’s contribution to the 2010 NILE. • AAR Ten X 7008 SA is the $12,000 high selling bull in the 2008 Arntzen Angus Bull Sale selected by Bodner Angus, Raynesford, MT. He’s a new ORIgen featured sire and has excellent thickness and great carcass credentials (IMF ratio 123, REA ratio 123). • “Ten X” is a special Mytty In Focus son out of a Pathfinder SAV Adaptor 2213 dam that is run on shares at Arntzen’s and owned by Stein Angus Acres, Lewistown, MT. “Ten X” has a very nice, attractive front, lots of rib and capacity, a tight, clean sheath and has a bright future as a true breeding bull. • BT Right Time 455P is an own son of BT Right Time 24J while the foundation 3rd dam is sired by the $39,000 HBR Big Valley 9-023. He’s a “4C6 Ambush” son out of the $300,000 Sitz Everelda Entense 023. • Phenotypically, this “Ten X” daughter is thick, deep, long bodied and has a great rump. There’s nothing in her pedigree to suggest otherwise that she won’t make a great cow. In fact, in a few years the new owner might feel she’s ten times the value of what she brings sale days.

• Individual Performance: BW 75 lbs, BWR 100, 205 Wt. 657 lbs, WWR 100 with 1 contemporary. • Her sire, CCAR Payton U494, is the $7,000 top-selling and Lot 1 feature in the 2009 December Currant Creek Production Sale selected by Jennaway Angus Ranch, Melstone, MT. He’s a true beef bull with incredible thickness, body mass and structure. • The paternal grandsire, ALC Payton H12P, was the $30,000 top-selling bull in the 2005 Assman Angus Bull Sale in South Dakota. His 1,667 yearling weight was the highest ever at Assman’s. He sired the 8th highest ADG and 8th highest WDA sire group in the 2008 Midland Bull Test. • The dam of “Payton U494”, Ideal 7417 of 1418 4465, posts 4 NR 106, 3 YR 102. She is a maternal sister to Sinclair Net Present Value at Accelerated Genetics and the ABS features, Ideal 7451 of 8103 4465, Sinclair Rito Legacy 3R9 and Sinclair Excellency 5X25. Another maternal sister by CAR Duke 104 was the $9,500 topselling bred heifer in the 2009 Currant Creek Fall Sale selected by Split Diamond Angus Ranch, MT and Gary Wall, IA. • The dam combines AAR Really Windy 1205, “Saugahatchee”, BSA Beefmaker and KMR Force 714 in a tabulation bred in the Mercer Paint Rock Angus program in Wyoming. Dick Mercer’s registered program is in conjunction with his daughter Abby Mercer-Aby, and it’s every bit as top notch as the outstanding commercial cowherd that’s in place north of Lavina, MT. The objective here is to mass produce scores of roomy, right sized, thick ended beef cows that are practical, efficient mother cows with all the basic convenience traits in place. This is a no frills quality outfit that transcends genuine excitement and high level interest in quality registered Angus seedstock. It’s a real pleasure to witness and try to match Dick Mercer’s enthusiasm for the future in the Angus business. Lots of registered seedstock breeders could learn a lot from a type discussion with this man and his vision for the future with his product.

That calculates out to 58.5% of her body weight and represents true production efficiency. • The maternal grandsire, CAR Duke 504, was selected in the 2006 Connelly Angus Ranch Sale where he posted WWR 106, YWR 110 with a 41.8 cm scrotal. He is backed by generations of bred in longevity, carcass and a maternal tabulation that stacks four generations of Pathfinders in a row. “504’s” sire, CAR Duke 316, sold in the 2004 Connelly Sale to Leadore Angus. • Ranks in the top 4% for WW and top 5% for YW EPDs among non-parent females. • Her sire, WMR Timeless 458, is the $32,000 Accelerated Genetics and Harrison Land & Livestock herdsire that has opened lots of eyes during Gary Wall’s NILE selection tour and on the National/Montana Angus Tour where his first daughters topped the heifer calf division in the Big Sky Female Sale. • The sire of “Timeless”, Leachman Right Time 338-5605, is double bred to Leachman Erica 0025, the dam of “Right Time”, while the dam of “Timeless” posts 3 BWR 95, 3 NR 112, 3 YR 114. • This is a clean fronted, long bodied, feminine brood cow/performance female/show heifer prospect that will get your attention and is really complete. Her long term contribution to future genetic progress will be timeless.

He has been the high volume sales bull in the Genex A.I. Stud for the past three years running. • “Final Answer” progeny are consistently born light and perform well at weaning and yearling. They also have lots of muscle and thickness, which isn’t easy to accomplish in a calving ease package. There is no doubt that “Final Answer” sons were the easiest sire group to sell in ranch country in 2010. • Some of the breed’s highest accuracy genetics are stacked in this tabulation back to back with “Final Answer”, “Lead On” and “EXT”. Those three bulls have BW accuracies of .97, .98 and .99%. That’s pretty predictable. • Every Angus program has its good days and bad days. This summer and fall at Nissen Angus, they’re taking it one day at a time and are thankful for all the kind gestures and thoughts as the Nissens fight through Larry’s personal health issues. These are genuine, hard working, kind people that have faith that there’s a master plan above at work. They appreciate your prayers and thoughts as they come to the 2010 NILE with two great heifers and a string of sale features for several Montana Angus breeders that will be professionally presented and merchandized.

Pick of the 2010 Heifer Calves

• Selling buyer’s choice of any 2010 heifer calf in the Stevenson’s Diamond Dot Angus herd. • Selection of the heifer must be made by November 16, 2010 (30 days after the NILE). Clint Stevenson, however, will let the buyer exercise an option to choose the final individual next spring after the final ultrasound data is in place. Everything is pretty much on the table for the buyer’s benefit, from finding that special carcass outlier to even getting her A.I. bred at Diamond Dot and making sure she will calve when you desire. The buyer of this lot is investing in the Stevenson Diamond Dot program, and Clint Stevenson will do everything in his power to make sure it’s a great long-term purchase. The buyer will be provided with complete performance and production records to assist your selection. There is every reason to believe you are in essence selecting a future donor female here with the perfect combination of phenotype, performance, frame size, cow families and carcass data. There is a really big selection pool to choose from, since the Stevenson Diamond Dot herd was one of the largest in breed registrations in the nation in 2009.

• Dam’s Production: 2 NR 102. She is a repeat donor and her progeny have been a highlight of past Stevenson sales, leading one top commercial breeder to comment, “I have liked every calf by the Trojan Erica Bushwacker donor cow.” Her large group of 2009 calves averaged $3,700, including Diamond Justice 25W6 that sold for $4,500 to Rice Ranches. • Grandam’s Production: 4 NR 107, 4 YR 102. She posts 65 @ IMF 107, REA 104. She has produced four donor daughters plus numerous herdsires, including Diamond Payweight 0R36 and the high selling Diamond Future Direction 0P10 that sold to Hinkson Angus in Kansas. She may have the single most impact of any cow ever at Diamond Dot Ranch. • A full brother to the donor, Diamond Bushwacker 9095 is a Diamond Dot herdsire that has left a tremendous set of daughters. • SydGen Contract 9410 is the $65,000 top-selling bull at the 2010 Midland Bull Test Station.

• Selling a successful flush to the bull of the buyer’s choice. A successful flush is equated as four transferrable embryos (Grades 1 & 2). In the likely event that embryos five and six are produced, they will go to the buyer at no charge. Additional embryos above six may also be purchased at a prorated cost of the first four. Donor will be available to flush immediately at Milk River Genetics, Chinook, MT. • The donor dam, “513”, was the Lot 1 selection by Jason Enneberg in the 2009 Jauer Angus Sale where she posts a great production record with an average 110 weaning ratio and 111 yearling ratio. She is a daughter of OCC Emblazon 854E who is the #1 high accuracy bull in the Angus breed for $W and $EN. • Jauer Emblazon 117 513 has tremendous length, spring or rib, capacity and overall thickness. She has a great udder with small, well placed teats. Her dam was in the Jauer donor program and is sired by the noted maternal sire, Papa Forte 1921. • This great “Emblazon” daughter will add functionality and fleshing ability to a variety of bloodlines while maintaining performance and carcass. She has a very promising bull calf in 2010 sired by OCC Paradise 681P. • This is the type of foundation female that matches Montana real world conditions. The Enneberg Angus Ranch registered cows are run on dry native pastures like any commercial program in northern Montana, providing no additional supplemental feed until winter. • The buyer can choose any bull for this flush. She produced 10 transferrable embryos in her last flush. Jason Enneberg is considering the following sires on his future recommended flush list: OCC Paxton 730P, Fintry of Graham, “EXT”, BT Right Time 24J and Hyline Right Time 338. Use your imagination as the buyer makes the final decision here.

• Sitz Rainmaker 6169 is the $12,000 selection of Edwards Ranch in the 2002 Sitz Bull Sale. “6169” sired the high selling sire group at both Edwards Angus Ranch and Sitz Angus Ranch in 2003, and when you mention “6169” to Bob Sitz, his eyes light up and the discussion turns more intense. He knows the unique maternal strength that “6169” daughters offer as model Angus brood cows and their ability to generate the really good ones.

• “6807” was the high gaining and top WDA bull at the 1997 Midland Bull Test Station. His progeny excel in true muscle shape, fleshing ability and production traits important to real world cattlemen.

They were the Reserve Champion Cow/Calf Pair at the 2010 Montana State Fair Junior Angus Show and Reserve Champion Pair at the Montana Junior Beef Expo and Champion at the North Dakota Junior Beef Expo. The cow is robust and correct with a great udder, and the heier calf is thick, thick, thick. In fact, most judges admitted over the microphone that they hadn’t ever seen a young Angus heifer as thick behind as the Hoover Dam heifer and didn’t know where to put them as a pair. Glen and Reece Idland’s answer is to make as many as possible because that’s the direction they and their commercial customers want for the future. • The grandam, Miss Wix 415 of McCumber, was the $17,000 selection in the 2000 Chuck King Dispersion in Minnesota where she was the 2nd top-selling cow. • A maternal sister by Mytty In Focus sold to Gain & Weigh Stock Farm, Jim Michels. • Hoover dam is the $47,500 ORIgen and Idland Cattle Co. herdsire with several partners. He’s moderate framed, extremely thick and his first calf crop already shows 85 BWR 97, demonstrating super calving ease and downward direction on EPD movement for BW EPD.

Dear Cattlemen, This year marks the 10th year Conover Auction Service has managed the NILE Angus Female Sale in Montana. From the beginning in 2001, we’ve focused primarily on production and printing the dam’s progeny records with the full disclosure of the necessary information to make informed and educated buying decisions. Naturally we’ve also paid great attention to predictable pedigrees, performance EPDs and phenotype to bring the absolute best for 10 consecutive years to the NILE. The impact and exposure in 2010 for Montana Angus genetics this summer and fall started with the statement that Montana’s youth had at the National Junior Angus Show in Denver demonstrating fabulous teamwork and opening lots of eyes to the future of the Angus business in the state of Montana. The excitement and interest in the recent Montana and National Angus tour created immeasurable exposure to the breeding programs that were on display in that very successful event. The 2010 NILE selection tour was just as successful and some might even call it “The Great Montana Road Trip”. Montana is a big state and to visit 90 Angus herds takes a real commitment, time, energy and resources to put together a single sale lineup. Over the past decade we’ve gotten the opportunity to reflect on some really great Angus herds, even better people and found out where they’ve been in the business, their current Angus breeding philosophy and their vision for the future in this industry and it’s truly been an adventure of a lifetime. Our selection decisions looking back in that 10 year history have produced some amazing Angus success stories that both NILE consignors and buyers can be pretty proud of. This reflection of 10 years of NILE Angus history validates the selection decisions.

The depth of the quality is better than ever as the “Great Montana Roadtrip” has produced more friends, even better cattle and profitable genetics that will produce the next big success story traceable to the NILE. President John F. Kennedy once stated, “ Change is the law of life. And those Montana Junior Angus who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future”. Donation Heifer

Sincerely, Al Conover
