SALE LOCATION: Fairbury Livestock Company Fairbury, NE

Greetings Cattlemen & Cattlewomen: I had to remind myself many times in the last couple of months how badly we needed this moisture. Dealing with the mud makes everything harder and takes longer. It will all be a distant memory this summer when we have green grass and full ponds. Also helping our moods, the market has rocketed higher, and our industry is very profitable. One interesting thing I keep hearing is commercial cattlemen complain about the number of open cows they are having in the fall each year. Our customers are onto the worst kept secret of the Gelbvieh breed with their FERTILITY ADVANTAGE. Rippe Gelbvieh has continued to assemble a cow herd that is balanced in ALL traits that are economically important to our customers – commercial cattlemen. We have a complete lineup of Balancer and Purebred Gelbvieh bulls that have enough genetic variation to compliment your cow herd and allow you to take full advantage of the “free lunch” that heterosis and hybrid vigor offer. In my eyes, what sets us at Rippe Gelbvieh apart is how much we are tied into the cattle business. My dad, Duane, manages the cow calf and farming operation. I, Dustin, own and operate Roode Feedyard at Fairbury, NE. I buy a lot of customer calves and feed out our own each year. This allows us to collect carcass data back on many, many individual animals. I want to emphasize this is not a side business for us, we both make our living in the cattle industry and are really passionate about its future. Joel Cast is also very instrumental in this operation. Joel knows the cattle as well as anyone. I can point out a cow 50 yards away and he can tell me what cow it is along with 2 generations back in her pedigree and what the birthweight was of her last calf. We couldn’t manage this herd or collect the data we do without him. Many places preach maternal. How can they preach maternal without taking cow weights and looking at cow efficiency? Joel takes pride in taking an udder score on every cow that calves. Every heifer is DNA’d prior to being selected as a replacement. Not many operations can match the genetic lineup we are offering. It isn’t by chance. We run a very large seedstock herd and are very aggressive in our AI and ET program along with owning some of the best bulls in the business. From a carcass standpoint, we have as much actual kill data as anyone in the country. We ultrasound the bulls and heifers each and every year. It is our hope that the information we track is valuable to you when you are selecting bulls. I won’t buy a bull that is not sire verified. I won’t buy a bull without knowing the udder on the dam. I won’t buy a bull that doesn’t have genomics. You shouldn’t either. We will be posting additional information on a supplement sheet prior to the sale on our website. Please call ahead of the sale and we can go over your program and your program’s needs. Duane & Dustin Rippe

Rippe Gelbvieh Bull Guarantee: •

Our #1 goal is customer satisfaction.

•

Rippe Gelbvieh takes 100% responsibility on every bull purchased from our sale until the bull is delivered to your ranch. If there is any problem with the bull upon delivery or at our place we will cover the cost completely and make sure you are satisfied.

•

If you experience a problem with disposition or structural soundness soon after you receive your purchase, Rippe Gelbvieh will replace the bull with similar quality, take the bull back and offer credit on next year’s sale.

•

If you experience abnormal calving difficulty where the herdsire is at fault we demand that the bull be sold for slaughter and a full refund applied to a replacement bull of the buyer’s choice.

First Season Death and Injury Warranty:

Rippe Gelbvieh has offered to share this cost with their customers. There was a lot of confusion over our old warranty. Our new program will allow us to keep our customers satisfied and allow both parties to be satisfied with everyone sharing in the cost. Coverage/Limitations: The coverage of this warranty is for the first breeding season or for the first 90 days after the bull is turned out, unless other arrangements are made. This warranty is good for death and all loss-of-use injuries. The warranty is void if this is caused by negligence or mistreatment of the bull. Replacement value will be the actual purchase cost of the Rippe Gelbvieh bulls covered minus any salvage value or other compensation received by the customer. Claims: All claims must be reported to Rippe Gelbvieh within 24 hours of discovery and must be examined by a licensed veterinarian. Injured: If the injury is not permanent and can be returned to service, Rippe Gelbvieh will work with you to supply a replacement bull to use, at no cost, until the original bull can be returned to service. If the injury is permanent, Rippe Gelbvieh will supply a bull to finish out the season. At the end of the breeding season the customer can choose to keep the replacement bull as fulfillment of this warranty or return him to Rippe Gelbvieh and receive credit on next year’s sale. The credit will equal the purchase price of the bull minus any salvage value from the original bull. Death: When a Rippe Gelbvieh bull dies between the dates outlined above Rippe Gelbvieh will supply another bull to finish out the breeding season. At the end of the breeding season, the customer can either keep the replacement bull as fulfillment of this warranty or receive credit on next year’s sale. The credit will equal the purchase price of the bull minus any compensation received by an insurance company. Cost: Cost for the death and injury warranty will be 5% of purchase price, due at time of purchase. We feel that this is a reasonable cost where we can all share in the cost of a loss in a bull during the first breeding season. If a customer chooses not to cover their animal against death or injury, they assume all risk associated with the bull once it leaves our place. 4 RIPPE GELBVIEH

EPDs Expected progeny differences. Winter 2023 evaluation provided by the AGA

Sire verified

Dam verified

Homozygous: If an animal is homozygous for polled or black, you will not have a horned or red calf born out of this sire. If an animal is heterozygous, it carries one allele for either horned/polled or red/black. Heifer Bulls H If you see a bull with an H Rippe Gelbvieh believes it is a heifer bull. Udder: The first number is suspension and second references teat size. 9 is ideal. It represents very small teat size and very tight udder suspension. 1 represents very large, ballooned shape teat and a very pendulous suspension. Doc = Docility: 1 - The bull is content standing alone. 2- The bull is nervous when standing in a pen alone. 3 – The bull is looking for a hole in the fence when alone. 4 – The bull is looking to chase you out of the pen. Percent Gelbvieh: We rounded every bull to the nearest 1/8 in Gelbvieh percentage.

American Gelbvieh Association Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) Below is an exhaustive list of the expected progeny differences (EPDs) and index values provided by the AGA along with a definition of each trait that is measured. Since AGA’s release of BOLT-powered EPDs on August 6, 2018, the majority of EPDs are BOLT EPDs, which means that Gelbvieh and Balancer® animals BOLT EPDs can be directly compared with other animals in the registries of other partner breed associations within the International Genetic Solutions (IGS) group. Gelbvieh and Balancer EPDs that are excluded from BOLT include: heifer pregnancy, 30-month pregnancy, and dry matter intake. The $Cow, efficiency profit index, and FPI™ indices are unique to the AGA and are not comparable across breeds. Maternal Traits Calving ease direct (CED): Percent of unassisted births of a bull’s calves when he is used on heifers. A higher number is favorable, meaning better calving ease. This EPD can be vital to a rancher looking to decrease the amount of calves pulled in his herd. Milk (MILK): The genetic ability of a sire’s daughters to produce milk expressed in pounds of weaning weight. Calving ease maternal (CEM): Represented as percent of unassisted births in a sire’s first-calving daughters. A higher number represents more favorable calving ease. This EPD is important to a rancher’s bottom line because it predicts which animals produce daughters with a genetic pre-disposition to calve unassisted as heifers. Heifer pregnancy (HP): Predicts the probability that a bull’s daughters will become pregnant as firstcalf heifers in a regular breeding season, expressed as a percent. A higher value of this EPD is favorable, meaning that a higher percentage of a sire’s daughters get pregnant as first calf heifers compared to other sires in his contemporary group. 30-month pregnancy (Pg30): Predicts the probability that a bull’s daughters will become pregnant and calve at three years of age, given that they calved as first-calf heifers. This EPD is expressed as a percent, again, with a higher number being more favorable meaning a higher percentage of a sire’s daughters will calve at three years of age, given they calved as firstcalf heifers. Stayability (ST): Predicts the genetic difference, in terms of percent probability, that a bull’s daughters will stay productive within a herd to at least six years of age. The stayability EPD is one of the best measures currently available to compare a bull’s ability to produce females with reproductive longevity. Growth Traits Birth weight (BW): Predicts the difference, in pounds, for birth weight of the calf.

12th and 13th rib. Greater ribeye areas are preferable. Marbling (MB): Predicts the differences in the degree of marbling within the ribeye as expressed in marbling score units. Greater marbling numbers are preferable and are an indicator of higher carcass quality grades. Fat (FT): Differences for fat thickness, in inches, for a carcass over the 12th rib, smaller numbers of fat thickness are preferable as excess fat can be detrimental to yield grade. Efficiency Traits Dry matter intake (DMI): Represents the average daily dry matter intake per day consumed in pounds. A negative, or lesser value, is more favorable. For example, Bull A has a DMI EPD of .15 and Bull B has a DMI EPD of -.20, so the progeny of Bull B consume, on average, .35 pound less dry matter per day than progeny from Bull A. Indexes Total maternal (TM): An index that combines growth and milk information as a prediction of the weaning weight performance of calves from a sire’s daughters. As an index, this value is not reported with an accompanying accuracy. A greater TM value means a mother returns comparatively higher weaning weights on her calves. TM Index = MK EPD + ½ WW EPD. $Cow: Represents the genetic value in dollars of profit of an animal when retained as a replacement female relative to other animals in the herd. A higher number represents more profitable genetics for maternal productivity. $Cow will serve producers in selecting bulls that will sire daughters with stayability and reproductive efficiency as well as other traits that lead to profitability in a production system, such as milk, calving ease, moderate mature weight and the ability of calves to gain. A female’s genetics also influence the performance of her calves in the feedlot and at slaughter, so traits such as feed efficiency and carcass value are also included in $Cow. Efficiency profit index (EPI): An economic selection index developed to aid producers in selecting for more feed efficient cattle that still have acceptable amounts of gain. The EPI provides slight negative pressure on intake, while keeping gain at a constant value. By selecting on this index, producers will be able to find those animals that gain the same amount as their contemporaries while eating less. FPI™: An economic selection index, which stands for feeder profit index, is designed to aid producers in selecting sires whose progeny will perform in the feedlot and are sold on a grade and yield standpoint. Well ranking sires for FPI have higher marbling and carcass weight than their contemporaries. As a terminal index, little emphasis is put on maternal traits such as stayability and calving ease.

Weaning weight (WW): Predicts the difference, in pounds, for weaning weight (adjusted to age of dam and a standard 205 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to weaning. Yearling weight (YW): Predicts the expected difference, in pounds, for yearling weight (adjusted to a standard 365 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to yearling. Carcass traits Yield grade (YG): Differences in yield grade score, which is a predictor of percent retail product. Smaller values suggest that progeny will have a better lean to fat ratio. Carcass weight (CW): Differences in pounds of hot carcass weight, adjusted to an industry standard age endpoint. Ribeye area (REA): Differences in ribeye area in inches between the

Dustin’s kids.

How the Genetic Evaluation Impacts Genetic Selection In August 2018, the American Gelbvieh Association (AGA) transitioned to a new system for the national cattle evaluation. The AGA is a part of International Genetic Solutions (IGS), which is a collaboration between other beef breed associations. IGS invested in the BOLT software, which brings with it the single-step genetic evaluation, a more streamlined method for incorporating genomic results into expected progeny differences (EPDs).

FPI

EPI

of progeny with reported data for each trait that would be needed to match the amount accuracy provided by a genomic test. For animals within the IGS multi-breed evaluation the progeny equivalent for calving ease direct (CED) is 15, which means that the inclusion of a genomic test is the equivalent to having calved 15 heifers bred to a particular bull.

This partnership benefits the commercial beef industry by providing EPDs backed by millions of pedigree, performance, and genomic records, which are directly comparable across the partner breeds. Hands down, BOLT technology provides the best and most accurate method for genetic prediction. Below is a sampling of improvements brought on by BOLT: More Informed Genetic Selection Decisions: Purchasing bulls with genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs) allows commercial producers to make selection decisions with less risk due to an increase in the accuracy of a non-parent animal’s EPDs. The addition of genomic data to an EPD is comparable to adding another source of information, like progeny or pedigree records. Specifically on lowly heritable traits, such as reproductive traits, genomic data has the potential to greatly increase the accuracy of an EPD prediction and can be demonstrated. While the accuracy value associated with an EPD can be a bit difficult to understand in practical terms, the progeny equivalent table provides information that’s easy to comprehend in the most practical of terms – how many calves worth of data was added? Progeny equivalent values in the table below describe the number

Across Breed Comparison: Because AGA breeders have chosen to collaborate with members of other breed associations to pool their pedigree, performance, and genomic data for a multi-breed NCE, most Gelbvieh and Balancer® animals’ EPDs can be directly comparable with other animals in the registries of other partner breed associations within the IGS group. Gelbvieh and Balancer EPDs that are excluded from direct comparison include: heifer pregnancy, 30-month pregnancy and dry matter intake. The $Cow, efficiency profit index and FPI™ indices are unique to the AGA and are not comparable across breeds.

Rippe Gelbvieh Balancer® and Gelbvieh Bull Sale:

Semen Interest:

Black Balancer Bulls........................................................... Lots 1-82

Angus Bulls...................................................................Lots 106-107

Rippe Gelbvieh will retain 1/2 semen and certificate interest on every bull in the catalog unless otherwise noted. This will only affect a very small portion of the bulls we sell. If we decide to collect a bull for our in herd use, it will be at our expense and your convenience.

Registered Red Blancer Heifers..................................Lots 108-109

Videos of the Bulls:

Commercial Heifers.....................................................Lots 110-111

You will notice there are not many pictures of the bulls in the catalog. This is because we decided to video each and every bull and all the videos are on our website at www.rippegelbvieh.com. We did this because we take great pride in the structure of our bull lineup and this allows buyers to evaluate before they come to our sale.

Black Purebred Bulls........................................................ Lots 83-98 Red Purebred Bulls.......................................................Lots 100-105

ET Bulls: The ET bulls are raised by a surrogate mother. Therefore, the bulls actual birth weight and weaning weight are not a representation of the bulls genetics. Consequently, we have chosen not to provide this information as it is inaccurate. EPDs do a much better job of showing the genetic value of these bulls.

6 RIPPE GELBVIEH

Genetic Defects: We have tested all potential carriers for defects. Any animal that was deemed to be a carrier we took out of the bull pen.

BLACK BALANCER® Lots 1 through 18 are Age Advantage bulls. These bulls are 18 months old, and they are ready to cover a large set of cows. We have continued to use some of the top AI bulls in the industry to produce our Balancer bulls. Angus sires include Rawhide, Fair N Square, Alternative, Tahoe, Testament, Hedge Fund, Conclusion, Growth Fund, Sterling Pacific, and Stunner. The main Balancer bulls are sired by Captain, 710E, Rock, Mountain Rain. Our Embryo transfer program shines through with 61% of the offering either an ET calf or have ET in the last 2 maternal generations. The average percentile rank is top 15% Calving Ease, 15% Weaning Weight, 20% Marbling, 10% Feeder Profit Index. In the Spring of 2023, there were 63 balancer bulls raised with an FPI over 100. Rippe Gelbvieh raised 10 of them. We have an elite set of Black Balancer bulls ready for your program.

BLACK PUREBRED

We have made a strong push the last 5 years to not only improve but also increase the number of purebreds we have in our herd. This year the fruits of our labor is shining through. This is by far the best set of purebred Gelbvieh bulls we have ever raised. It seemed every flush we did at least one turned out to be very good. Our ET work is evident when you look through these bulls. Every bull except for 1 is homozygous polled. We continued to use our two high selling bulls from 3 years ago in Desperado and 0247H. In addition, we sampled a bull from Seedstock Plus, and an outcross bull from Canada. Plus, our own two herdsires in Destination and Mayor. A new addition is Easy Upgrade who we purchased from Post Rock Cattle Company. The AVERAGE percentile rank of these bulls is top 20% calving ease, 20% weaning weight, 10% marbling, 4% Feeder Profit Index (FPI).

RED BALANCER® It brings a little tear to my eye that this will be the last set of Red Balancer bulls we will offer unless there is an accident. We were on the fence on dispersing our red females and still put in some red embryos and that is what we are offering. 5 out of the 6 are ET calves with one being out of an Heterozygous Black cow. Despite this, it is an exciting set of calves that we have out of Quarterback as his semen is all gone. We have some out of the G406 cow that sold for 32k. These red balancer bulls rank in the top 15% for calving ease, 25% marbling, 20% Feeder Profit Index (FPI).

When we sold the red cowherd, we decided to start a new venture with Angus. We are starting strictly with Embryo transfer and are searching for either donors or embryos from elite cows. We feel this will make us even better at raising Balancers and bring some other options for our customers. In addition, we look forward to comparing the differences between the 3 breeds. We have a limited supply this year but will be growing substantially over the next 3 years.

COMMERCIAL HEIFERS We are offering 9 Black Commercial Heifers for sale this year – all out of our own herd. Heterosis plays a huge role in cow longevity and all of these heifers are crossbred. They have all passed a pelvic measurement, passed a reproductive tract score, been freeze banded, bangs vaccinated, and developed to be excellent females. All heifers will be kept free until March 17th and will need to be picked up by the owner unless prior arrangements have been made. We would keep them at our place and AI these heifers if the purchaser would like. The cost for us to AI them is $3/hd/day after March 17th until you pick them up for feed and yardage. In addition, $15/hd to set them up for AI, $15/hd to AI them, and the cost of the semen. We typically AI at the very end of April.
