Dear Valued Customers,

I would like to thank you for your interest in the 51st Annual 2023 WIU Performance Tested Bull Sale Performance tests provide weaning to yearling comparison performance data among different breeders and genetics. Bulls are rigorously tested prior to arrival being negative for PI-BVD, anaplasmosis, and free of all known genetic defects Their dams are also tested Johnes negative They have been vaccinated properly with a respiratory (4-way), clostridal (7-way +somnus), and Pasteurella as well as dewormed for internal and external parasites During the test, they received dewormer, vaccinated for vibro and lepto, and tested brucellosis free . They have also all passed a breeding soundness exam and have been ultrasound scanned for carcass information They have received a high fiber ration complete with chelated minerals, biotin, yeast, and rumensin to ensure gain has been optimized and that they will be ready to breed cows Also, the bulls had access to outdoor runs to keep them more active during development I challenge you to find another bull developer that gives you the certainty that the WIU bull test does . These breeders have brought you their best bulls and WIU has given them the best care possible We are continuously striving to be the best at what we do by making improvements and progressing with the cattle industry . I look forward to seeing you all on March 10th Please call or email with any questions or if I can be of assistance when selecting your 2023 herd sires

Keela Trennepohl, PhD WIU Bull Test Advisor

Breeders, Fellow Cattleman and Friends,

I invite your inspection and welcome your attendance to this years Western Illinois University‘s annual bull test sale . For 51 years, this test, has assisted breeders, producers and cattlemen to identify and measure important performance traits, profit making indicators and value added genetic markers . Today, the demand for documented performance tested bulls and quality genetics is not only strong but important as ever

For this years test, more emphasis was put on management and soundness, including foot quality; with a focus on getting the bulls in the right shape and condition to avoid melt down; without sacrificing performance. Also, 3-large exercise pens were built and all bulls on test had access to these . As a result, the bulls are more athletic and ready for service, and you can bid with confidence knowing that these bulls will go out and work

Analyze your cow herd and your calf crop to identify those traits in which you need improvement . Use the valuable data provided by the WIU bull test, to assist in picking your next herd sire that possesses those traits that are needed to improve not only your calf crop, but your cow herd as well Remember the bull you need may not be the same bull your neighbor needs to improve your bottom line . Choosing the right bull for your operation can make a $20.00 to $30.00 / CWT difference or more, when selling your calf crop, per year

The Western Illinois University bull test has built a tradition and a relationship between producers / breeders, alumni and students for almost five decades; and in some cases three generations of a family

As an Alumni of Western Illinois University, I’m proud to say that I have been associated with the WIU Bull test for the past 30 years I have personally seen this sale grow, to become one of the well respected performance bull tests within the Midwest Should you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to call Keela Trennepohl or my self We look forward to seeing you at the sale

Thank you in advance, for your consideration

EPD DEFINITIONS

Production, Maternal, and Carcass EPDS are listed for all breeds • Indices are breed specific EPDs as printed in the catalog should only be compared within breed as they are not representative of an across breed EPD

PRODUCTION EPDS

CE/CED – Calving Ease Direct Predicts the average difference in ease with which a sire’s calves will be born when he is bred to first-calf heifers, with a higher value indicating greater calving ease .

BW/Brth – Birth weight Expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit birth weight to his progeny compared to that of other sires

WW – Weaning Weight Expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit weaning growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires

YW – Yearling Weight EPD Expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit yearling growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires

SC – Scrotal Circumference EPD Expressed in centimeters, is a predictor of the difference in transmitting ability for scrotal size compared to that of other sires

MATERNAL EPDS

Milk – Maternal Milk A predictor of a sire’s genetic merit for milk and mothering ability as expressed in his daughters compared to daughters of other sires

CARCASS EPDS

Fat/BF – Fat Thickness Expressed in inches, is a predictor of the differences in external fat thickness at the 12th rib of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires

Marb – Marbling Expressed as a fraction of the difference in USDA marbling score of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires

RE/REA – Ribeye Area EPD Expressed in square inches, is a predictor of the difference in ribeye area of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires

INDICIES

Simmental

API – All Purpose Index Dollars per cow exposed under an all-purpose-sire scenario . Evaluates sires for use on the entire cow herd (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

TI – Terminal Index Dollars per cow exposed under a terminal-sire scenario Evaluates sires for use on mature cows with all offspring put on feed and sold under grade and yield

BULL TEST OPERATION AND DATA COLLECTED

FACILITIES: The bulls had access to free choice hay and feed, covered shelter bedded with corn stalks, and 160’ long outdoor runs

TESTING PERIOD: The bulls began their 90-day test on November 4, 2022 after a 21-day adjustment period and came off of test on January 31, 2023.

RATION: Bulls were fed a complete pellet with a NEg of 0 495 Mcal/lb and 12% CP The ration consisted of 73% highly digestible fiber sources (wheat middlings, soyhulls, and cottonseed hulls), 22% corn, and a vitamin-mineral premix with rumensin This ration adds in developing bulls by optimizing gain without compromising breeding ability and foot quality

ON/OFF TEST WEIGHTS: Weights are the average of two consecutive weights taken at the beginning and end of the bull test

ADG: Average Daily Gain over the entire test period The test group ratio is also provided

INDEXES: Calculated as 70% ADG + 15% ADJ REA + 15% ADJ IMF Indexes were calculated within breed index

Angus $M – Maternal Weaned Calf Value, an index, expressed in dollars per head, predicts profitability differences from conception to weaning with the underlying breeding objective assuming that individuals retain their own replacement females within herd and sell the rest of the cull female and all male progeny as feeder calves The model assumes commercial producers will replace 25% of their breeding females in the first generation and 20% of their breeding females in each subsequent generation

$W – Weaned Calf Value an index, expressed in dollars per head, to predict profitability differences in progeny due to genetics from birth to weaning . The underlying objective being producers will retain 20% of the female progeny as replacements and sell the rest of the cull females and their male counterparts as feeder calves

$B – Beef Value a terminal index, expressed in dollars per carcass, to predict profitability differences in progeny due to genetics for postweaning and carcass traits This terminal index assumes commercial producers wean all male and female progeny, retain ownership of these animals through the feedlot phase and market these animals on a carcass grid

$C – Combined Value an index, expressed in dollars per head, which includes all traits that make up both Maternal Weaned Calf Value ($M) and Beef Value ($B) with the objective that commercial producers will replace 20% of their breeding females per year with replacement heifers retained within their own herd The remaining cull heifer and steer progeny are then assumed to be sent to the feedlot where the producers retain ownership of those cattle and sell them on a quality-based carcass merit grid

Red Angus

STAY - Stayability predicts differences in the ability of an animals’ retained daughters to remain productive in the herd – calve every year – through 6 years of age

(Percent/High Value)

GM - Grid Master An index considering Red Angus bulls mated to cows and all progeny sold on a quality-based grid. Expressed in differences in profitability/ exposure

HB - Herd Builder An index considering Red Angus bulls mated to cows and heifers where heifers will be retained from the herd for replacement and all remaining progeny will be sold on a quality-based carcass grid Expressed in differences in profitability per exposure.

ProS - Profitability and Sustainability is an all-purpose index that predicts average economic differences in all segments in the beef supply chain Expressed in dollars per head born

FRAME SCORE: Based on hip height and age at hip height measurement using the BIF guidelines

SCROTAL CIRCUMFERENCE: Measured in centimeters and adjusted using BIF guidelines This trait is correlated to the bull’s semen producing ability as well as the fertility and age of puberty of his offspring. Will be available on sale day

12TH RIB FAT: Fat thickness in inches at the rump and between the 12th and 13th ribs measured using real-time ultrasound and adjusted using breed association and BIF guidelines

RIBEYE AREA: Ribeye area in square inches between the 12th and 13th ribs measured using real-time ultrasound and adjusted using breed association and BIF guidelines

MARBLING: Marbling score estimated using real-time ultrasound and adjusted using breed association guidelines . Adjusted percent intramuscular fat is converted to a potential quality grade using BIF guidelines

GENETIC DEFECTS: All bulls in the sale are free of known lethal genetic defects at the time of test registration . Bulls that are DDC will be allowed sell but will be noted as such .

A standout since birth,this big rugged built bull offers a load of quality.  He has a great muscle pattern while also being very good on his feet and legs and stands down on a big foot.  He also should be a calving ease bull as he is very clean fronted through his front one-third and is smooth shouldered.  The Innovator calves are always fast growing and  you are also adding a shot of the most famous Simmental cow family,Baby’s Breath, on the dam’s side.  A great opportunity to add a powerful bull to your Spring breeding season.

This red baldy has been a phenotypic and performance standout from the beginning.  Some of them just have that extra look and presence about them that helps keep things enjoyable.  Additionally, 102K puts together some interesting data, he ranks in the top 25% of the breed for calving ease epds, had an ADG just under 4# per day which ratioed 108, while also ratioing 110 for IMF.  These are all very important and highly desirable factors in the Purebred Simmental segment.  We feel this bull has the capability to contribute to the beef world at a high level, whether you are breeding purebred seedstock, making replacement females, or raising feeders and finishing cattle.
