Before going to grass in May they receive Vision 7, Bovishield Gold 5, and One Shot Pastuerella. These shots are repeated at weaning with Somnus added to the 7-way. The calves are back poured with Promectin B at weaning. The bulls are back poured again in January,

Schuppe Farms/ Elmwood Limousin Dear Cattlemen and Friends: We are very excited about the bulls we have in this year’s sale offering.

This could very well be the most uniform and highest performance group of bulls we have ever sold. Even with the drought, this group of bulls is the heaviest weaning group we have ever produced.

Our goal is to produce bulls that will work for commercial cattlemen. Bulls that produce calves that come easy, grow, perform in the feedlot, and produce females that make excellent mother cows.

We realize the continuing drought is making decisions difficult regarding our operations. We need to remember that it will rain again and the cattle market will be very good. Now is the time to incorporate good genetics to take advantage of this cattle market.

We certainly appreciate all of our customers who have made it possible to have our 23rd sale. Thank you very much.

Whether you are planning to bid, buy, or just come to look, we welcome you to our sale. Mom said she will make grebel again, so come early to enjoy some grebel and coffee. We invite you to look through the sale offering and be our guest for lunch. a call.

If you have any questions about the cattle in the sale, feel free to give us We hope to see you sale day, THE SCHUPPE FAMILY Gordon, Earline, Kassi

HOW WE HANDLE OUR BULLS

Elmwood Limousin participates in the Limousin Inventory Management System. This means we maintain our cow herd inventory with the North American Limousin Foundation. For each cow in our herd we must have a calf on record, reason for no progeny recorded, or reason for disposal. Complete herd information contributes to more accurate data and EPDs.

27

Our cows graze on both dry land and irrigated grass during the summer months and on cornstalks in the winter months with mineral tubs available all the time.

Our calves are grown on mother’s milk and grass until weaning. NO CREEP FEED. We find creep feeding gives false reading as to what a cow can actually produce.

After weaning, the bulls are put on a high roughage ration consisting of ground alfalfa, corn silage, high moisture corn, a liquid protein supplement, and free choice prairie hay. The bull calves run in a long pen, 1/4 mile in length. They make several trips a day from one end of the pen to the other, ensuring they get plenty of exercise. Our bulls are not overly fat. Several of our customers have commented that our bulls are in good condition after the first breeding season.

We take weights several times from weaning to sale date. The bulls have tested negative for BVD. DNA testing has been done for homozygous black and polled traits and the results appear with each lot. We will have scrotal measurements, rib eye and marbling scores available on sale day. We hope this added information will help make your bull selection easier.

CROSSBRED CALF

The Key to Maximum Cow Profitability The production and economical advantages of commercial crossbred cows adapted to their environment as compared to straightbreds are undeniable.

20 percent more pounds of calf weaned per cow exposed because of hybrid vigor for age at puberty, conception rate, survival to weaning, milk production and weaning weight; 1.3 years additional cow longevity; And therefore, up to 30 percent greater lifetime cow productivity.

Total Dollar Impact (annually) $23.27

This table shows that the greatest impact of crossbreeding is with the crossbred cow.

How much crossbred advantage can you afford to give up? If you start with F1 Angus-cross females and use Angus bulls for three generations, the resulting calves are 15/16 Angus. That sacrifices 87% of hybrid vigor.

Research and practical experience clearly have demonstrated that commercial F1 crossbred cows return $70 to $100 more per year than straight-bred cows.

If the chosen crossbreeding system yields between 50 and 67 percent of maximum maternal heterosis, even $50 per year in crossbreeding advantage adds up to $400 or so greater lifetime earnings per hybrid cow as compared to straightbreds.

World’s largest cattle feeder gives insight on cattle industry: Tom Brink of Five Rivers Ranch Cattle Feeding challenges producers to crossbreed. Brink states that one trend that will bring more value to beef is the expanding popularity of Angus hybrids. Specifically, hybrid bulls on Angus based cows.

From a feedlot perspective, Brink believes the hybrid Angus trend will be beneficial to the industry particularly on yield grades. “There have been cutability issues and overly fat cattle that the higher percentage Angus cattle bring to the industry. Our buyers say the ideal Angus percentage is 50 to 75%.”

Part of the reason straight Angus is not a total solution, is hybrid vigor.

“Hybrid vigor is still very important at the cow/calf level and you can’t get that by crossing Angus on Angus for multiple generations. But structured crossbreeding has been too hard to implement, especially for small producers.

So the hybrid bull is convenient and brings the muscle that continental breeds offer to the table.”

COLE 17W came from the Coleman herd in Montana. He is proving to be a real asset to our herd. His growth EPDs continue to go up after each calf crop. His bulls are growthy with lots of depth and length of body. His first females are calving now and are feminine with lots of rib & capacity. You can buy his sons with confidence.

Alfalfa came from the Tub Mill Creek herd. He was a member of the Reserve Champion pen of three Lim-Flex bulls at 2011 National Western Stock Show. His growth EPDs improved with this his first calf crop. Calves are very correct and stylish. We use him on heifers with excellent results. Semen is available. Check out his son, Lot 61.

EPD AND PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

61

The EPDs in this catalog reflect the new base used to calculate EPDs for Limousin cattle. They now have the same look as Angus EPDs. For commercial producers this rescaling helps simplify the use of Limousin EPDs by making the set of ranking benchmarks similar for both breeds. While EPDs of the two breeds cannot be directly compared, if you know the benchmark within the Angus genetic evaluation, you also know the EPD benchmarks within the Limousin evaluation. Twice a year EPDs are recalculated to include any new data that has been submitted to NALF. This is done to keep them up to date and improve accuracies. With this in mind, expect EPDs to change on the animals you purchase. The EPDs for the Lim-Flex calves reflect the combined EPDs of the Angus Assoc. and the current information in the Limousin EPD bank from the sires and dams of the that breed. As this is a fairly new development, the accuracies will be low.

PERFORMANCE EPDs: CE: stands for calving ease direct and is important when choosing sires to produce calves born easily. The higher the number, the better.

BW EPDs: express the difference in birth weight on the progeny of the bulls being compared.

WW EPDs: express the difference in pounds at 205 days on the progeny of the bulls being compared.

YW EPDs: do the same as WW except it is the weight at 365 days.

MA EPDs: predict differences in weaning weights from daughter’s calves due to genes inherited for milk.

CETM EPDs: stand for Calving Ease Total Maternal and are important for choosing sires that produce replacement females that give birth to their first calf easily. The higher the number, the better.

SC EPDs: are expressed in centimeters of scrotal circumference, and compare the difference expected in sons of the animal. Scrotal EPDs are a good indicator of age of puberty of both the sons and daughters of the animal.

CARCASS EPDs: CW EPDs: express the difference in pounds of carcass weight.

REA EPDs: express the difference in square inches of rib eye area.

YG EPDs: Due to the limited range and usefulness of Limousin fat thickness EPDs, they have been replace with the more informative EPDs for yield grade. Lower YG EPDs are favored and indicate genetic differences for yield grade and cutability of offspring.

MS EPDs: marbling score, express the difference in the amount of marbling or flecks of fat in the rib eye.

DOLLAR VALUE: $MTI the Mainstream Terminal Index derived from WW, YW, YG and MAR. It measures differences in expected profit per carcass produced for a mainstream grid.

This information should help you analyze and sort the bulls to fit your specific needs. We realize this is a lot of data to use, so please ask us if you need further assistance. We have indicated in the footnotes which bulls we feel will work on heif0.3ers as well as the bulls top EPD traits.
