Welcome
This year’s fall offering from the MP Brangus program is an exciting one to say the very least! With optimism in mind, we’ve put together a bigger set of females from the heart of our program. This past summer we experienced a bit of a reprieve from the dry summer we’ve had in years prior; that, combined with rising prices for weaned calves and cull cows has spiked interest from producers that takes us back to 2015. We have focused on a female offering that we feel you can take and build your program around for generations. The offerings are highlighted by an 804 female who will rival the phenotype of any donor to pass through the sale ring this fall. Her sought-after cow family and unique phenotype are the kind that should be focused on for any program. This set of bulls has been rigorously culled on for disposition, feet quality and fertility. Leading off this year’s set is a 118 bull that should attract breeders from across the country. Following him is a 468 bull that compliments our lead off with added extension and correctness at the ground. Your purchases this fall will be ones you can make with a new level of confidence. The MP program is dedicated to customer satisfaction and always pushing to new heights of consistent quality.
See you sale day!

DDD STAR STRUCK 804H16
This female combines the most proven genetics from the MP program. Crossing this full brother of Wall Street on the 804 cow family is a mating choice that has proven successful time and time again. Star Struck provides plenty of body mass, femininity and structural correctness that make her a great addition to any breeding program. Over the years the 804 branded females have always risen to the top of the offer in Poteet, TX. They represent what this cowherd is built around; predictable genetics with elite phenotype and marketability.

It didn’t take long for the High Note progeny to make a name for themselves. His reputation for siring cattle with style and power is only solidified by lot 101. There is little doubt this striking 468 branded bull is extra long spined, flat shouldered and offers a can’t miss look from the side.
Lot 100
It’s no secret the 118 cow family is a personal favorite of Timmy Lucherk’s and after seeing this Unordinary son you understand why. He is powerful from every angle, big legged, bold centered and is build extra wide from the ground up.

DISCOUNT INCENTIVE PROGRAM
To qualify for this Discount Incentive Program the individual or ranch must meet the following criteria:
• The individual purchase price of each bull must exceed $3,250. For example, buy three bulls each above $3,250 per bull and you will receive a 4% discount. If you buy 4 bulls and 3 are each above $3,250 but the 4th bull is purchased for $3,000 you will receive the 4% discount on the 3 bulls. The 4th bull, purchased for less than $3,250 will not qualify for the 4% discount.
• All purchases must go to the same individual or ranch. Bulls cannot be lumped together between neighbors or friends.
• At any time MP Brangus believes this Discount Incentive Program is being abused by any individual or ranch the incentive program will no longer apply to that individual or ranch.

MP Brangus will make every reasonable effort to ensure the safe handling of purchased cattle until they are loaded.
4. HEALTH Health papers suitable for interstate shipment will be available on all animals.
5. BREEDING GUARANTEE (A) All animals are guaranteed to be breeders with the exception of (1) injury or disease occurring after the sale; (2) negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the purchaser. (3) death by any reason. (B) Any bull which either (1) produces viable semen (2) settles 1/3 or more of the healthy cows he serves; (3) is the sire of 20 or more animals or; (4) settles cows by natural service and passes a fertility test made by a competent veterinarian during any six month trial period, shall be considered a breeder. (C) Safe in calf females have been examined by competent personnel and are so guaranteed. (D) Open females have not been served and are so guaranteed.
6. PREGNANCY DETERMINATION The females in this sale noted safe in calf have been determined pregnant by a physical palpation or ultrasound technology. Our best estimate of service sire will be given in the case of females with A.I. sire and natural breeding sire.
7. OPTIONS AND PRIVILEGES OF RETURN ADJUSTMENT (A) All claims for adjustment must be made within six months of the sale date. (B) Any animal that has not proven itself a breeder within the time limits specified above, if in healthy condition, may be returned to the seller at buyer’s expense. The seller reserves the right and privilege of trying for a period of six months to prove the animal a breeder. If proven a breeder, the animal will be returned at the buyer’s expense. Should the animal fail to breed, the seller will provide a replacement animal with another of equal or greater quality. If a replacement animal is not available when needed, a credit will be issued toward your next purchase at MP Brangus. (C) Any animal returned must have a veterinarian’s certificate that it is healthy and free of Bangs, Tuberculosis and Trichomoniasis.
8. TRUCKING Livestock transportation will be available.
9. SIGHT UNSEEN PURCHASES If you can’t make it to the sale, we will do our best to represent the cattle to you. Please call to discuss your needs. For cattle purchased sight unseen the buyer has the right of inspection at the time of pick up or delivery.
OUR GUARANTEE
Unless otherwise noted, all the breeding age bulls will have passed a breeding soundness exam prior to pick up/ delivery. In addition to the standard terms and conditions of the International Brangus Breeders Association, we will provide the first breeding season (the 90-day period immediately following the turn out) guarantee on all yearling and older bulls. This guarantee is not an insurance or mortality policy, but a guarantee on functional fertility. It is not a substitute or replacement for poor management. Buyer assumes all risks for injury due to running bulls together or management decisions outside genetic control. For the guarantee to apply, we ask that you contact us as soon as a condition is observed and before the animal is sold. We will work with you to determine whether the animal is returned or sold for slaughter. We will attempt to provide a suitable replacement. If one cannot be provided of equal or greater value, we will issue a sale credit to be used in a future sale for the full purchase price less the salvage value of the animal.
EPD EXPLANATION
Registration Number: Bulls noted with “R” number are Registered Brangus. Those noted with a “UB” number are Ultra-Blacks, indicat-ing they are a Brangus-Angus blend. Those noted as UB2 are second cross Ultrablacks. “AX” recorded bulls are appendix registered pure-bred Brangus that have non-typical Brangus color pattern.
Polled/Scurred/Horned: Denotes bulls that are either smooth polled or have the presence of scurs or slick spots. Those bulls noted as “scurs” typically have had scurs removed post-weaning. Horned bulls have presence or horns.
Genetic Conditions (GC): Indicates genetic condition status with “Free” indicating tested free or pedigree free of currently known genetic conditions. Prefixes noted with a “C” indicate that given animal carries a non-lethal recessive gene for that given condition.
INDIVIDUAL MEASURES
Birth Weight (Act. BW): Actual weight at birth, expressed in pounds.
Scrotal Circumference (Adj. SC): Testicular circumference, measured in centimeters, and adjusted to 365 days of age.
EXPECTED PROGENY DIFFERENCE
Genomic Enhanced Expected Progeny Difference (GE-EPD) : The genetic predictor of how future progeny of each animal are expected to perform relative to the progeny of other animals listed in the breed database. These EPDs through DNA technology are genomically enhanced for more reliability and higher accuracy levels.
Percentile Ranks: Ranks each given GE-EPD trait against the breed population for non-parent animals, active sires or active dams and expressed as a percentage ranking in that population. As an example, 1% is higher than 50%.GE-EPD Accuracy: Since all bulls selling in this catalog are non-parent, their accuracies are the lowest calculated by our national sire evaluation program.
Heifer Pregnancy (H Preg): Predicts the probability that a female will have a calf as a two-year-old. Expressed as a % with the higher number more desirable.
Stayability (Stay): Measures the probability that a cow will still be in the herd at six years of age. With the higher number being more desirable.
Terminal Index (Term): Evaluates a sire for use on mature cows with all offspring put on feed and sold in a terminal end point scenario. The higher the number, the more desirable.
Fertility Index (Fert): Developed for cattle raised in a general-purpose production system to produce reproductively sound replacement females or bulls that will sire reproductively sound replacement females.
Calving Ease Direct (CED): Expressed as a percentage and indicates the influence of the animal on calving ease in females calving at 2 years of age. The higher the number the more desirable for calving ease.
Weaning Weight EPD (WW): Expressed in pounds, is a predictor of an animal’s ability to transmit weaning growth to its progeny.
Yearling Weight EPD (YW): Expressed in pounds, is a predictor of an animal’s ability to transmit yearling growth to its progeny.
Milk EPD (Milk): Predicts a sire’s genetic merit for milk and mother-ing ability as expressed in his daughters compared to daughters of other sires. In other words, it is that part of a calf’s weaning weight attributed to milk.
Total Maternal EPD (TM): Expressed in pounds, a genetic predictor of weaning weight by blending a combination of maternal milk and weaning weight value.
Scrotal Circumference EPD (SC): Measured in centimeters at a year-ling time, predicts testicular size.
Ribeye Area (REA): Expressed in square inches, is a predictor of transmitting ability of ribeye size and overall muscle mass which is a key component in USDA yield grades.
Intramuscular Fat (IMF): Expressed as a percentage, is a predictor of transmitting ability for marbling or intra-muscular fat correlating to USDA quality grade at harvest time.
GE-EPD VALUES & PARENT VERIFICATION
By sale time we will have a complete set of GE-EPD values for every bull and it will be noted on a supplement sheet. Nearly every bull has current GE-EPD values and more than 90% of the females have current GE-EPD values. Every animal in the sale will be sire verified and if something is missing this will also be noted on sale day supplement sheets.
MULTIPLE SIRES IN OUR BREEDING HERD
Most of our females have been naturally exposed with two natural service sires. We continue to determine the viability of profitability of running multiple sires during breeding season and then DNA calves for sire determination. Interesting and continuing project to determine which particular sire in a given group has the desire and ability to rule his pasture. The resulting natural service sired calves from these sale females will have to have DNA samples sent to labs for sire verification.
DR. GARY WARNER & DR. JACOB WARNER A Note From
Dear Buyers,
Jacob and I would like to thank the Perry family for the opportunity to provide the breeding soundness evaluations for their sale offering. Each sale lot being offered has met the standards set for breeding soundness as prescribed by the Society for Theriogenology and criteria established over 40 years of practice experience at Elgin Veterinary Hospital. These cattle have been developed with industry needs in consideration and are expected to perform well for any management strategy that they may be exposed to. Our evaluation not only assesses fertility, but other attributes such as structure and conditioning. This is so that the producer has the opportunity to buy cattle that can be put out to pasture and perform as expected. MP Brangus follows our recommended vaccination protocols as well as deworming recommendations for the entire herd. If there is any questions or interest in these recommended protocols, please feel free contact us. We are honored to have the chance to serve the cattle industry.
