Welcome

Welcome to the 2019 Profit Through Performance Bull Sale Sunday, March 3rd marks a first for us. New for 2019 the sale will be held at Windy Creek Cattle Co., northeast of Spencer, SD. While we have appreciated the hospitality in Aberdeen, we are excited to welcome you to the farm. All bulls were weaned and started at their home ranches and were brought together, here in Spencer, mid-October when they were placed on test. What matters to you, matters to us. Each year we continue to move toward meeting the diverse goals of our customers. As an introduction to each breed in the catalog, we describe how we are reaching these goals. Without doubt, you expect these bulls to do a lot of different things with regards to production. Whether you desire high-performance feeder cattle or high-value finished cattle or even great mothers, we have a bull to meet your needs. Performance matters. Quality matters. Ultimately, your success matters. If you are interested, we have created an index this year that can help sort the bulls genetically to best fit for how you market your cattle. Call Tyler if you are interested in this. We again welcome the Holt Family and also welcome Brandon Rock and his family as they have helped support our numbers and quality on the ChiAngus side. If you would like to view the bulls any time before sale day, let Jeremy now. Bulls will be sorted for ease of viewing by Saturday. Please join us for fellowship and refreshments all day. If you are traveling a distance, we can help with hotel arrangements.

Sincerely, The Melroe and Lehrman Families

SIMMENTAL BULLS

Simmental We are really excited about the Simmental offering provided for your evaluation this year. As always, we pride ourselves on raising performance Simmental genetics. You will notice we do not use an overabundance of sires; we like to keep things consistent to provide a better read of how the cattle perform. Our main goal is still to produce functional cattle that can work in different types of operations. Many of the bulls in the offering are backed by our foundation females- meaning those cows have been consistent enough for us to build around. We utilize whole herd reporting with the American Simmental Association along with 50K enhanced genomic testing for better EPD accuracy as well as coat color and polled status. Bulls will have had their first round of breeding shots prior to the sale and if you opt to have us deliver at a later date, they will be completely vaccinated. Feel free to contact me with any questions and we sure hope you can join us sale day near Spencer, SD. – Jeremy

CHIANGUS BULLS

ChiAngus When we consider what makes ChiAngus so unique, it is those traits that drive our decision-making – tremendous performance with that one of a kind high-quality look. Measuring the traits in well planned contemporary groups is critical to making sure you get what you expect. On feed performance highlights our priorities as almost all the calves out of our bulls are retained for at least a growing period. The truly unique advantage of this breed is the unmistakable quality that they visually provide. Our program is built around providing both the tangible and intangible traits that truly make cattle worth more at the end of the day. With our new index we can truly calculate how valuable these genetics are compared to the average ChiAngus. Be confident that these cattle are unique, and these cattle perform.

***EPDs Listed are current as of 1.31.19 The EPDs on the Melroe and Windy Creek bulls have been calculated based on their actual performance and reflect the Spring 2019 run. Because of our contemporary grouping and generations of data records they are higher in accuracy, thus a more reliable measure of their predicted performance. CE – Calving Ease – Percent of unassisted births when used on heifers. A higher number would suggest less calving difficulty. BW – Birth Weight – Weight, in pounds, at calving. Bulls with lower EPDs would suggest lighter birth weights on average. WW – Weaning Weight – Weight, in pounds, at 205 days of age. A higher EPD means we would expect more weaning weight. YW – Yearling Weight – Weight, in pounds, at 365 days of age. A higher EPD means we would expect more weight at a year of age. Milk – Difference in weaning weight of offspring due to milk. TM – Pounds of weaning weight due to milk and growth. STAY – Percent of daughters remaining in the cowherd at 6 years of age. MARB – Marbling score. API – All Purpose Index – Suggests the use of sires on Angus cows and first-calf heifers, with a portion of their daughters retained, and all remaining offspring put on feed and sold on a grid rewarding grade and yield. Available from American Simmental Association Dollars. TI – Dollars per cow exposed under a terminal-sire scenario. Evaluates sire for use on mature Angus cows with all offspring put on feed and sold grade and yield.

The Data Because every operation has different management schemes and environmental challenges, we feel the most effective way to compare the performance of cattle is through accurately measuring desired traits, turning that data into the association, and select for the EPD we are trying to influence. EPDs are a means of comparing individuals. The weaning weights reported in this catalog on all the Melroe and Windy Creek bulls has been turned in to their respective associations where they are adjusted to a common 205 days of age. Yearling weights on the Melroe and Windy Creek bulls have been adjusted using the formula recommended the Beef Improvement Federation, and used breed associations. The cattle offered here are from the very front end of their respective bull crops. Adjusted Weaning Weight = (((Actual Weaning Weight – Birth Weight)/Days of Age) * 205) + Birth Weight + Age of Dam Adjustment

Ex. (700# - 90#)/ 185 days old = 675# + 90# = 765# + 20# (3rd Calver) = 785# Adj WW

Adjusted Yearling Weight = (((Actual Yearling Weight – Actual Weaning Weight)/ Days) * 160) + Adjusted Weaning Weight

Ex. (1250# - 700#)/ 150 days = 3.66 ADG * 160 = 586# + 785# = 1371# Adj YW
