Bull Sale

Welcome It is hard to believe another year is already in the books. I guess I was told the older you get, the faster time flies, but I didn’t realize it turns into such a whirlwind.

The past few years saw cattle in every class of quality and weight bring exceptional returns, we all hoped That it would last, I guess all good things come to an end , but this past year is one to reflect on, markets shrank our calf checks more than anyone could imagine. We all knew that at some point that we would see an adjustment, but never expected the markets to go south as far or as fast as it did. A good sign is that in the past 2 months we are seeing a steady increase in value of calves have regained about $20 per hundred. Although markets aren’t as rosy as the past, we still have to admit that our calf checks this past year were still one of the top 4 years in history. Now is the time to take a look at your breeding programs. The cows and bulls that are less productive and don’t carry their share of the load should be put on the cull list. Pay weight and quality at sale time is king. I believe that the ranchers that sell pounds and quality will be the ones that reap the biggest checks. There are a lot of ideas and opinions about profitability in cattle, some say biggest is best, others say smaller is better, and others promote the EPD system.

Everyone‘s operation is different, and all options may need to be considered.

At Begger’s Diamond V Ranch you will find moderate 5 to 6½ frame cattle that are very deep bodied wide based and easy keeping. The udder quality is as good as you can make them. We design our cattle to be efficient easy doing rancher cattle. THE RANCHER COMES FIRST, before any other trait is considered. First of all they have to be right for you the cow/calf man, then and only then do we consider the extra perks so to speak. These cattle will calve easy, perform well above average and grow into cattle that are sensible sized at maturity. They will produce extra pay weight and sale ability producing the premiums that you deserve, netting you the greatest profits. You will find that calf buyers and feeders will want them and packers will pay premiums hanging on the rail.

These bulls will work on British bred cows to enhance both maternal and terminal traits to fit your ranching requirements.

Our program offers you the best when it comes to homozygous black and polled cattle. The guess work is done, you will get calves that are all black hided with minimal white on the belly, feet and legs. These bulls will sire pigment on the udder to eliminate wind and snow burned udders. The color pattern will be very consistent making your calf crop more eye appealing and even. Eliminating these cutback cattle that bring your average down, you can buy knowing

For bulls that sell for less than $2,500 we will feed them and have them semen tested for $150 due on sale day.

We will help in delivery arrangements. The bulls will be delivered to your ranch or in some cases when there are multiple owners of cattle on the truck and there is a need to unload and sort cattle, we may ask that you meet us at a central location that is convenient to both parties. For cattle selling over 500 miles away, we may have to hire a trucking firm to help with delivery, if so, we will guarantee delivery cost not to exceed $300 per bull. In most cases, we will deliver them ourselves, but occasionally we will put the bull on a commercial truck that is reputable and conscientious. For purchases of cattle a long distance away, we ask that you be flexible on delivery dates in case we have the opportunity to send your bull your direction earlier than April 1st. When purchasing a bull from Begger’s Diamond V Ranch, we take responsibility in delivering a healthy, breeding bull. We will take responsibility of injury or death loss while the bull is on our ranch. Responsibility of your bull purchase begins when he reaches your ranch or delivery point. We guarantee buyer satisfaction. If you have any problems with your bulls ability to breed and settle cows, let us know so we can make it right. We suggest that you insure your bull against death or injury. We cannot guarantee them against an act of God or sickness that develops while he is in your control. We do guarantee our cattle to be healthy sale day.

The Bulls were vaccinated at branding with Pyramid 4, with Presponse and Vision 7 with Somnus, and again at weaning, they were poured with Ivermectin on September 3 and again in December. They were tested free of BVD and to be best of our knowledge are free from all genetic defects.

Simmental Bulls

ABout API & TI Indexes When I was on the ASA Board Jerry Lipsey came to the board with an idea, the first he called the All Purpose Index (API Index). He presented it to us like this; we need to make things simpler there are so many EPD’s that it is confusing.

He went on to say; this index is for the man that works in town, runs 2030 head of cattle and breeds his yearling Angus heifers to the same bull as his mature cows, So extreme calving ease is important. This bull will also need to serve the packing industry well so high carcass traits are a must. Milk numbers need to be good because we want to keep replacements. This will be the Total Package, easy calving, great carcass, and daughters that milk. As a board we all thought, it sounds great and easy to sell. One size fits all.

Today after over a decade of use there is some differences of opinion on what is best. What I soon came to realize working with a large cowherd is this; I don’t breed my mature cows to the same type of bull as my Angus heifers. I expect them to produce 85-95lb calves, enabling them to produce more pay weight and more value at sale time.

There are breeders out there that make their entire breeding decisions off this index, and claim it is the way to go. I am somewhat concerned; it seems these cattle are more fragile with less ability to produce fleshing ability and pay weight then the cattle that are in the 20-50 percentile range. It is no secret that the higher the API the better the carcass EPD’s are, but I notice that the pay weight and weaning performance will suffer. I have and will continue to use some of the elite API cattle but I likewise will not dwell solely on this index or any single trait EPD at the expense of our cowherds ability to stay easy fleshing, easy keeping, maternal, and wean heavy.

There is no right or wrong but we feel that if you desire extreme carcass or calving ease the higher the better. If you desire cattle with more fleshing ability, safe calving ease, with more pay weight, ability to gain weight, and stay in condition then back off this number somewhat and you will like the results better.

The TI index is Terminal Index This index was designed for use on mature cows only. It is for the cattleman that sells all of his calves and buys his replacements. This index is not to be used with the API Index or used if you keep replacements.

This EPD still puts a lot of emphasis on carcass traits and a little more on payweight. I find this EPD to be of value to a cattleman that retains ownership otherwise it has little value to most cattlemen.

bull offering

This fall has been a busy one and the weather has been great until Thanksgiving, since then it has been a bearcat to say the least, snow has piled up deep and keeps blowing in places we don’t need it in, it just keeps us on our toes and leaves little time to get things done. So this year you won’t find pictures of the bulls in this catalog, we have included pictures from the past, so you can see the quality that we are known for. On January 11, 2017, DV Auctions will do videos on all the lots, so when you get your catalog the video will be available online and on our Facebook page. We apologize, but the catalog must go to print and it’s snowing and blowing, the bulls are covered in snow, and the sky is overcast and no let up in sight.

Watch online or bid by phone!

Simmental Bulls

the Spring Bulls This is an outstanding set of bulls, we feel we really hit a big target with our cowherd. We have always held to our goal that states we want to make our worst cow as good as our best, by following a strict guideline and not making excuses for any cow, she has to wean a good calf every year. Never hold any open cow over. Not ever! Never exchange cows back and forth between the fall and spring calvers, if they are open sell them, no excuse, by doing so we are gaining ground, the cow herd is very close in production along with type and kind. This set of bulls were never exposed to creep feed, they never had a bite in their life. They were weaned on Oct 10th, and put on an easy low mega cal diet, you won’t find a bunch of 4 & 5 lb gainers here, because we know that anyone can make them gain like crazy, but after 42 years of bull raising experience, I also know you can hurt their longevity by over feeding. This is why you can be confident that these bulls will stay together and keep their condition better than the over feds.

Here is a bull that comes from a powerful cow family. This is the second time his dam produced the lead off bull in our sale. A full brother sold to Casey Miller in South Dakota for $10,500.00. We feel that this bull is a sure shot herd bull prospect that every serious cowman should consider. Cow Power is represented well with this bull, his granddam likewise has a put a son in our lead off pen. He boasts a big 824 weaning wt to rank 25th out of 140 contemporaries to ratio 109. His EPD profile ranks him in the elite category for calving ease, performance, and carcass and marbling, he likewise has a very desirable API and TI index. Genetically enhanced EPD’s.

This bull has been a standout all year long. He is out of an eleven-year-old daughter of 600U, that has produced very well throughout her life time, cows like her get old way to quick. His sire is our Arsenal bull that created so much excitement in the Lassle Sale. This is his first set of calves and they do not disappoint. This bull ranked #3 in his calf crop to wean at 894 lbs, a 205 wt., no creep, just a darn good mother and eastern Montana’s grass, use him to add a little frame and length. He should sire excellent feeder calves when used on British bred cows. His EPD profile is excellent across the board.

Here is one of the heavy hitters, take a look at his weaning performance 909 lbs to index 120, and rank #2. Among a powerful set of contemporaries this was done on mother’s milk and grass, no creep, just cow power and genetics. The best part, is he is moderate framed, thick bodied, and should sire feeder cattle that weigh heavy at weaning and still stay sensible sized at maturity. No doubt in my mind this guy has what it takes to keep you in the cow business, he possesses that quality we all desire, but find hard to achieve.

This bull offers the best when it comes to his ability to put everything together, he is very eye appealing, and stylish. His own performance is exceptional, weaning at 834 lbs at 205 days, he has all the bells and whistles, homo black homo polled. A cow family that excels in performance and a rock solid pedigree with many of the elite performance cattle represented, he is an outcross to most Simmental and Angus genetics.

This could possibly be the best Night Ride bull to sell this spring. He defiantly showed his ability to perform with the best, his 2-year-old dam comes from one of our finest cow families, and she looks like she will keep the reputation headed in a positive direction. We used the Night Ride bull on our heifers, and he has worked well for us. I recommend using this bull on young cows or any cow that you desire. I would not recommend him for virgin heifers, as his cow family is to powerful.

He puts together an EPD profile that takes no back seat. His 2-year-old dam certainly put together a genetic package that offers excellent opportunity. Early on, this bull showed his stuff and exhibited that early maturing quality we desire. This guy offers a low percentage Sim pedigree in a thick bodied, easy keeping package, with excellent calving ease. You will want to keep his daughters.

This guy is a performance king, weaning at 863 lbs to ratio 114, and he ranked #10 out of 140 contemporaries. If you like cattle that are easy keeping, and quiet mannered, here he is.

These Range Boss cattle work so well when it comes to weaning performance and moderate easy keeping qualities. This bull will certainly sire calves that weigh heavy and possess pay weight, we recommend using him on mature cows, and possibly as a terminal sire.

This Tuition son is a powerhouse. He is deep sided, long bodied, and loaded with quality. If your program demands more than a cow freshener, this bull should be on your list of bulls to consider. His granddam is the dam of 46D, also in this top pen, just out of a 3-year-old dam, she is showing why cow families are so important. When pay weight and maternal qualities count, buy bulls out of our best.

They are classy made and perform very well on the cow. This bull is very eye catching and easy to find.

His sire is the powerful Capitalist son that caught so much attention in our sale 2 years ago, selling to Brock Fouth for $12,500.00.

What a classy, eye appealing bull, very quiet, and easy going, out of a 2-year-old dam that put her all into her first calf. This bull will sire thick deep bodied cattle that should be profitable, his daughters will be moderate sized and excellent producers. The steer calves should be fancy and valuable in the feedlot and on the rail.

This high octane bull is out of a 2-year-old heifer, that certainly worked to put a big strong calf in the bull pen. This bull will sire cattle with a little more frame and gas. One of the top performers on test.

Light Birth weight calving ease bulls This set of 15 bulls is a super set of light birth weight calving ease bulls, all except one are out of 2-year-old heifers and certainly exhibit the style and quality it takes to make our bull pen. There are times that we get asked can we use these bulls on heifers, I am very cautious to recommend Sim bulls to use on first time calvers, although I have been doing it for years with great success. When you analyze the calving ease and birth weight EPD’s along with these bulls own birth weights I have come to the conclusion that if you are considering Sim influenced bulls to use on heifers this is the bunch that I will recommend. If you have any questions on any bulls in this pen, come ask, and I will try to point you in a positive direction.

Simmental Bulls

Moderate frame bulls The next pen of bulls is medium to medium-big framed bulls; everyone is a look alike. They all have very respectable stats, this set of bulls have a very usable birth weight, and should work on any cow you put them on. We feel that they are just a notch above a heifer bull when it comes to their calving ease. You can be assured that they are the kind that will sire calves that come easy, get up quick, and weigh heavy at sale time. I am a big fan of this set of bulls, they are the using kind with no holes attached.

The scrotal circumference of each bull was tape-measured on December 15, 2014. The scrotal measurements were adjusted to yearling, and sometimes will vary one way or another as actual yearlings. We guarantee our bulls 100% for fertility, unless damage is induced at your ranch, and then it’s out of our control.

RETAINED SEMEN INTEREST IN BULLS Every bull sells in his entirety, we know that when you pay a big premium to own a herd sire, that when a breeder keeps a share, it’s hard to recoup your investment. We do retain the right to collect 100 units of semen at our expense and your convenience for within herd use only. In case an AI stud buys the bull, we reserve the right to buy semen at cost as if we were a shareholder, but will not share in any revenue received.

Powerful, Strong & useful bulls This is a great set of bulls here. It is going to be the last pen of Simmental influenced bulls to sell, but they are a powerful good useful set of bulls. I decided that we were going to keep this set of bulls for the grand finale you will notice there are several heavy hitters throughout this group. I feel we really eliminated a bottom pen of bulls this year, and can honestly say whether you buy the first or the last bull in the offering, you are going to own a bull that we are proud to have put our brand on them, and believe that you will be proud to own them.

Simmental Bulls

The Fall Born Bulls This program was started over 20 years ago, as we felt that there is a need for long aged bulls. This was not an easy task to provide, as breeding cows in December is a lot harder to achieve. Also the bulls are like turning a bunch of teenage boys together, they always look for trouble, they fight, tear each other up, and are always looking across the fence. They are always on the move; you just have to keep them as far away as you can from any cowherd. These bulls are calved in the pasture, checked once a day even the 2-year-old heifers. We never move an open cow to the other calving season, these cows are held to a strict culling program. If they are open, they’re gone, no second chance here. We don’t use a creep feeder on these bulls until the snow gets deep, at that time usually in January, we put a feeder in with them to replace the green grass that the spring calves have. You will notice that the fall bulls will have a lighter 205 WT then the spring born bulls do. This is because winter affects their ability to graze and it is just a tougher environment to grow in. I can assure you that the genetic potential is equal and you will reap the same value as in the spring born herd. We wean these bulls in March, put them on test until mid-May or June, depending on the grass in the spring. At that time, we turn them out and treat them like grass cattle. They eat only grass and have access to a lick tub for their mineral and a little extra protein. They will stay on grass until mid to late October, at that time we bring them back to condition them for the sale. They have never been on hot feed and should make a powerful breeding bull that will breed like an older bull.

There is a lot of good in this bull, he is out of a 2 year old dam that gave her all. This bull is herd sire quality and certainly should catch some attention. He was our #1 indexing fall born. We have never had a fall born even come close to this guy’s 205 wt, he is not a fluke. He is out of a very high performance cow family that has always been leaders of performance. We considered keeping him for our own use, and probably should have. He not only performed well, but his EPD profile lines up as one that should catch the attention of the most discriminating breeder. Genetically enhanced EPD’s.

This bull is possibly the longest and highest Octaine bull in the Sim-angus division. He will add some frame and style to his calf crop. Here is a bull that will head your program toward the heavy weaning wt and performance division. He will be easy to find and should have some friends on sale day.

This bull is the right kind, he is heavy muscled and long wide bodied. I feel that he should add a lot of value to a set of feeder cattle. This is the kind of bull that will click on British bred cows. His daughters will be hard working cows that keep their flesh, his sons will be heavy and make powerful feeder cattle.

This is a good one, very eye catching and loaded with the right stuff. The cow family that backs this bull up is the best. No doubt he will sire both heifers and steers that excel in every phase of the industry. He is the kind that will produce value.

His daughters should make terrific cows with volume and stoutness, the udder quality should be very good. His sons will be the kind that buyers crave.

This bull is a virgin 2 year old, he was a young bull that was a little young for our sale last year, but we felt that he was the kind that would roll over in to our sale as a 2 year old and do a lot of good for the commercial cowman. He is long bodied and has the genetic makeup to add pounds and maternal to his calves.

This bull is a power house, he has all the right pieces. A very thick deep bodied bull that is super clean fronted and still has a ton of rib shape and muscle that carries way down in his lower rear quarter. His maternal milk # ranks in the top 1% of the breed. I feel that he offers the most serious cowman an opportunity to inject high quality out cross genetics to their herd. His dam is as soggy and deep bodied as you can make them. Without a doubt, he is a top pick in my books.

This is a bull that is 1/8 Simmental and 7/8 Angus, his is out of an Angus sire, but I don’t know which one. The cow family is one of our best when it comes to their ability to stay in shape, raise a big useful calf and breed up early, the udder quality is excellent. We will not offer registration papers on this bull, but papers don’t get cows pregnant anyway. If you want to own a low percentage bull, this is a good one.

This bull is long bodied and will add a little extra length. Throughout the year we could always pick him out, because of that extra length and frame he has. I think he is going to add weaning, performance, and stoutness to his calves. The Windy bull, his sire, is adding eye appeal and performance to his calves.

A Premium Beef son that has excelled well throughout this whole life, light at birth and heavy at weaning, a good combination. Analyze this bull, you will see that he offers a unique ability that few calving ease bulls offer. He is very eye catching and hard to fault, both in pheno type, and on papers. He has a real promising future. His 3 year old dam is a pure pleasure to own.

This Titleist son is out of a real solid made 3 year old dam. You will find plenty of calving ease along with a moderate thick bodied stature. The udder quality is superb. He will sire very useful cattle that work on the ranch and in the feedlot.

This bull is a twin to Lot 146, he is a big strong bull that has plenty of flash and eye appeal.

He is lucky to be alive, as one morning I came out to check cows, I noticed a couple of coyotes leave up ahead of me, when I got up where they were, this baby calf had his tail chewed off. He ended up being a twin that his mother left behind, his twin brother followed and he stayed. This bull was raised by a 2 year old heifer and is brother by their natural mother. Other then his short tail, he is real eye pleaser.

Like all the 130A sons, very thick made, and moderate framed. If you listen to the scientist at the Universities and Experiments Stations, they say moderate framed cattle are the ones to own. Cow efficiency is more prevalent. Well if so, this bull will help get you there.

His own weaning performance tells you he excelled on the cow, and still his own sensible frame size with fleshing ability will keep mature cow size in check.

I absolutely believe that he is an excellent choice to add cow power and the easy keeping qualities the industry is talking about. If you have a set of cows that are a little to big and hard doing, this bull should fix it with no problem.

This bull is absolutely a mind boggler. I don’t think that in all our years of raising bulls have we ever raised a bull that is so powerfully made and well balanced, in a 4 frame score.

I feel he has as much to offer the cowman as any in the sale. If you are looking to add fleshing ability, eye appeal, and maternal excellence, this being said, he may be a little smaller framed then some want, but if you are looking to down size frame, add volume, and fleshing ability, you will be hard pressed to find a more complete stylish bull. His 205 wt does not blow you away, but I feel that if he was a spring born that might be completely different. I feel there is a lot to offer here. His dam is a gorgeous deep sided cow with a very nice udder and loaded with easy keeping qualities.

This makes an extra easy keeping bloodline that should help add fleshing ability. Use this bull on cows that might need help with the easy keeping traits. The maternal power should be very good.

The Angus Bulls This is a nice group of bulls you will find, a group of mature cow bulls that will rival the performance and value of any set of Angus bulls anywhere. They will be a little thicker made then most Angus Programs provide. Likewise, you will find a nice group of bulls that should provide excellent calving ease for heifers, these bull are finer boned, but still pack a little extra fleshing ability.

His older brother is a Connelly Capitalist son that we are using in our own program, we call BDV Impact 410B. This bull is so well put together and has been a leader in performance like all his past maternal brothers. His dam by 004 is the key, she is absolutely a true breed matron.

This bull will be a real positive addition to any program. He is a maternal brother to the lead off Angus bull in lat year’s sale that sold for $8500.00. This bull is out of the Chairman bull that is proving to be true breed improver. The performance and maternal power this bull possesses is certainly top shelf. You will enjoy big deep powerful females that are loaded with eye appeal and maternal qualities. This bull comes with a high recommendation.

Begger’s diamond v ranch Published in the January 2017 Issue of the Ag Roundup, Beef Showcase Edition Begger’s Diamond V Ranch is a family owned ranch that has its fourth generation living on it. The ranch is a diversified outfit that has been in the seedstock business for 42 years; in 1975 they calved their first Simmental cattle. Bill and Bob were young and ambitious, just out of school, and looking to improve their ranch income. They decided that in order for the ranch to be able to support three families, they needed to put more value in their operation. They saw right away the value of black solid patterned Simmental cattle, so they began building a herd of solid colored black and polled Simmental.

Today their herd of 600 registered cows is all solid black and polled.

Most are homozygous black and polled. The cattle operation today is run by Bill and his son John, along with the help of Bob, and some summer help by Harry, now 86 years old, and still very mindful of what is going on. Their seedstock operation markets over 180 black bulls a year, consisting of purebred Black Simmental, Sim-Angus, and purebred Angus bulls. The program that the Beggers’ run is based off of their motto, “The cow/calf man comes first.” They know that they must provide a solid, well-thought-out seedstock program that is profitable for their customers. Then and only then do they consider the other perks of the cattle industry.

Today Begger’s Diamond V Ranch breeds cattle that calve easily, wean heavy, and perform well in the feedlot and on the rail, therefore providing an enjoyable eating experience for the consumer. Begger’s Diamond V Ranch’s breeding programs rival some of the best and most uniform cowherds in the nation. Rather than blindly following the latest EPD trends, the Begger’s review actual data, which provides concrete facts on what their cattle produce. So many times breeders, breed associations, and AI studs get caught up on the numbers because they are so easy to promote, and they fail to recognize traits such as feet and legs, udder quality, mothering ability, phenotype, fleshing ability, inadequate performance, and disposition.

The goal at Begger’s Diamond V Ranch is to produce low maintenance, easy fleshing cattle that can maintain their fleshing ability without extra inputs. They desire adequate EPDs but demand

that their cattle be useful in a real world setting. This is why they design their cattle to work for the cow/calf man before any other traits are considered. EPDs and dollar indexes are a valuable tool, but should never be used as the sole reason for using or buying your next bull. In many cases, the largest EPD and dollar index will lead you to an extreme that is undesirable. Remember, balance is the key.

For a commercial operation to maintain a high level of cost-efficient productivity, one must maintain a cowherd that will withstand fluctuating nutritional conditions and still be productive without requiring high levels of supplemental feeds. A low maintenance, productive cowherd that can efficiently utilize available resources is essential. This is a function of body type and not EPDs or other numbers.

The cattle that Begger’s Diamond V Ranch produces and sells is the result of a cowherd whose breeding, culling and management are focused on creating exceptional cows, not just adequate. The bulls are from mothers that are deep bodied, easy fleshing, and structurally correct with exceptional udders. Their cows are quiet, easy to handle, and possess excellent maternal instincts, thus producing calves with excellent calving ease, weaning weights, feed lot performance, and carcass quality.

The Begger’s Diamond V Ranch will hold their 42nd annual sale at the ranch where they will offer 180 black Simmental, Sim-Angus and Angus Bulls. Sale day is February 1 at 12:30 p.m. MDT. They will have lunch, so come hungry. They invite you to come take a look whether you need a bull or not; they welcome you to come analyze their program. You will not be disappointed. They feed the bulls until April 1 and also semen test and deliver them all free of charge. Begger’s Diamond V Ranch stands behind their bulls with a guarantee second to none.

Suggested Guidelines for using Yearling Bulls

We are firm believers in the use of yearling bulls and feel it is one of the best years of their lives. It is a time when they are easy to manage and their only concern is breeding cows. We have found that yearling bulls that are managed carefully during the second year of their lives, not only do well, but they will perform better, over time. Below are some suggested guidelines for the care of yearling bulls.

Upon delivery to your ranch, keep yearling bulls separate from older bulls and feed them a maintenance ration of 5-8 pounds per head of grain and free choice hay. Reduce the amount of grain fed gradually, so that bulls are on straight hay or grass 2-4 weeks prior to the breeding season.

Where possible, try to limit the bulls to 45-60 days of pasture service the first year. At this time or as soon as possible, remove the bulls and put them in separate pastures with plenty of good quality grass.

It is best to feed yearling bulls separate from older bulls until after their second breeding season. This allows them to achieve the growth and strength to compete with older bulls for feed and space.

You will see the benefit of a little added cost and care of feeding a yearling bull by probably two or three more years of service from a well managed and healthy bull.

Reference sires CONNEALY CAPITALIST

Capitalist is possibly the Angus bull of choice. He is siring calves that are born light. We have been suing him on virgin heifers for 3 years, fall & spring. He is not a typical heifer bull, his calves grow by weaning time, they are in the heavy group. They are thick, deep and stylish. Disposition is a plus. Although they grow fast and produce pay weight, they mature into moderate easy fleshing cattle that are sensibly sized.

078 WINDY 377JV

This is an Apex Windy 078 son that came out of the Vitt program. This bull does an outstanding job. He sired the top weaning weight bull in both our Angus and Sim-Angus programs. His calves are docile, long made and high performance. We look forward to his daughters as they come into production.

No doubt they will be a valuable addition.

BDV TORQUE 912W

This MYTTY In Focus son is doing everything right. He was born & raised right here. We used him 2 years on our replacement heifers both spring and fall. After that, we used him 2 years on mature cows. His calves are absolutely top shelf. They are deep sided, wide based and very well balanced.

The acceptability in his sons has been overwhelming. We think he is out producing his sire and believe his is spot on as far as a sire that produces sensibly sized cattle that work for the rancher siring cattle that are easy doing, low maintenance and easy on the eye. He is well represented through his daughters, he is deceased.

TRAX DOC

Is a powerful purebred Simmental sire that is proving to be a performance king. He will sire calves that wean heavy. They are deep sided, all black & polled. He sires extra muscle and great disposition. He should sire daughters with perfect udder quality. His calves weigh in the 90’s at birth. A bull to use on mature cows. Bulls like him will sire pay-weight and maternal excellence.

His is a powerful heard sire.

LRS UNLIMITED

A full brother to LRS Turning Point ,was our pick of 5 full brothers. Unlike his embryo brother, he was more moderate sized, deeper bodied bull, siring extremely deep sided, big volume, wide made cattle that wean heavy and have eye appeal. We expect his calves to excel to weaning going on to perform well on feed. He sires cattle that will mature into moderate, easy keeping cattle that won’t get to be over sized at maturity. He has been our go to bull that has seen heavy use in both our purebred and Sim-Angus programs.

We will be sending semen to Australia this spring.

TNT TITLIST

A full brother to Tanker, he is a cleaner fronted replica of Tanker. As the lead off bull in the TNT sale, he commanded the top price of the purebred bulls in their prestigious sale. Titlist works well in both our purebred and Sim-Angus programs. Titlist calves look good and perform even better. We are excited about his future.

HOOK YELLOWSTONE

Here is a big EPD, high API sire that improves carcass quality. Yellowstone calves are moderate at birth. He is an EPD improver. His sons have topped some popular Simmental sales in the past. Like most high API bulls, he will sire calving ease and produce an excellent EPD profile.

SDS GRADUATE

Graduate is a true calving ease specialist. We have used him on our ½ blood virgin heifers. His calves are small at birth and grow about average. He is a high EPD bull that excels in carcass ultrasound. His daughters are moderate sized females that look to be decent calf raisers.

TNT TUITION

This Sim-Angus bull seems to work well in our program. He sires cattle that are born easily and still have some gas when it comes to weaning and yearling weights. He is probably not a heifer bull but you can use him on about any sized cow, young or old. We enjoy the style and completeness he sires.

LRS FLEX

Flex is a big bodied, long made bull that adds performance and style to his calves. He was the Sim-Angus bull of choice in the Lassle sale a few years ago.

We use him to sire performance and payweight. We love the body depth and disposition he produces. We lost Flex this past spring, so this will be his last.

HSR IDENTITY

Here is a calving ease bull that boasts a great ultrasound scan. Identify certainly sired calves that grow well. Use him on young cows or cows that can use some extra growth. His calves are gentle and long made and are deep sided.

LRS PLATINUM

Platinum is a real thick made Pioneer son. His calves are born light at birth ad grow well. He will sire moderate framed cattle with that easy keeping quality.

APEX CHAIRMAN

Chairman was the lead-off bull and high seller at the APEX sale. This bull is stylish, thick made and very complete in every way. He has worked very well in both our Angus and Sim-Angus program. You will want to own one of these.

GW PREM BEEF 612Z

We acquired this bull out of the Gateway program. He was their second high seller and was a feature in their sale. We have been using him as a heifer bull.

Like all high API cattle offering extreme calving ease and carcass quality. His sons are good doing cattle with a little less bone. We look forward to calving his first daughters, they are feminine and look maternal.

LRS Arsenal

This bull was a sale feature and lead off bull in the Lassle sale. He was very stylish, correct and is a performance bull. His calves wean heavy and have excellent performance on test. This bull will add pay-weight and powerful phenotype.

LRS Top 10

A bull owned with Accelerated Genetics. He is a calving ease specialist that has excellent performance and EPD’s. He will add some frame.

J Bar J Nightride

This bull is a sure shot heifer bull. His calves come early and light at birth. They have a very nice look and certainly have eye appeal. They are moderate in frame with a strong top and deep rib.

CCR Cowboy Cut

This bull is a mature cow bull that excels in eye appeal and posts very good.

Performance at weaning. He mates well with about any cow you use on him.

You will enjoy cattle that are fancy with eye appeal.

QUICK GUIDE TO ASA EPDs AND $ INDEXES Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs): EPDs are the most accurate and effective tool available for comparing genetic levels. In using EPDs, the difference between two sires’ EPDs represents the unit difference expected in the performance of their progeny. For example, if sires A and B have EPDs of +10 and –5, a 15-unit difference would be expected in their progeny (moving from -5 to +10 yields 15 units). Key to using EPDs is knowing what units they are expressed in. For example, if the above case referred to weaning weight EPDs, A would be expected to sire 15-pounds more weaning weight than B. If calving ease were the trait, A would be expected to sire 15-percent more unassisted births in first-calf heifers; in other words, if B sired 30 assists in a group of 100 heifers, we’d expect A to require 15 assists. A percentileranking chart is required to determine where a bull’s EPDs rank him relative to other bulls in the breed. For percentile rankings or more detailed information about EPDs and $ indexes visit www.simmental.org.

Listed below are the units ASA EPDs are expressed in: All-Purpose Index (API): Dollars per cow exposed under an all-purpose-sire scenario. (See below for more details.)

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. (See below for more details.)

Weaning Weight (WW): Pounds of weaning weight.

Yearling Weight (YW): Pounds of yearling weight.

Yield Grade (YG): Yield grade score.

$ Indexes: Though EPDs allow for the comparison of genetic levels for many economically important traits, they only provide a piece of the economic puzzle. That’s where $ indexes come in. Through well-conceived, rigorous mathematical computation, $ indexes blend EPDs and economics to estimate an animal’s overall impact on your bottom line. The same technology that led to the dramatic progress in swine, poultry and dairy genetics over the last several decades was used to develop the following $ indexes: All-Purpose Index (API): Evaluates sires for use on the entire cow herd (bred to both Angus first-calf heifers and mature cows) with the portion of their daughters required to maintain herd size retained and the remaining heifers and steers put on feed and sold grade and yield.

Terminal Index (TI): Evaluates sire for use on mature Angus cows with all offspring put on feed and sold grade and yield.

Using API and TI: 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 above, 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 percentile rankings or more detailed information about EPDs and $ indexes.
