Selling 50 Charolais & SimAngus Bulls | Wells, Kansas
We look forward to visiting with you at the ranch!
WELCOME
Welcome to the 23nd Annual Schrader Ranch Bull Sale!
Trust and loyalty of our customers makes the continuation of this annual event possible. As a result, our commitment to progress and improvement doesnʼt waiver. With diligence to measure each data point with accuracy and integrity, we strive to provide a practical and predictable product.
We are excited for cow calf production as the current margin potential leads the way in production agriculture. No matter the class or weight of cattle they are worth significant amounts. We had a customer recently sell a bull weighing 2540 lbs. @ $1.88 for $4775! Our goal is to provide a high value product that consistently performs in good and bad times.
For those unfamiliar with our program, you will find bulls developed with enough calories to express performance differences and still maintain function and longevity. The goal is to deliver a fit, athletic breeding bull with minimal acclamation needed to a new environment.
Both the Charolais and Simmental programs are managed the same. Regardless the breed, it still all starts with the females. Quiet, easy calving cattle with functional udders and practical performance will always be key focuses for Schrader Ranch. We are very pleased with the depth of quality in offering of both breeds.
Please contact Laci, Weston, Josi or I with any questions. Cattle conversations are most rewarding for our family, and we look forward to assisting in any way possible.
Sincerely,
The Schrader Family

With the continued outstanding sire groups of Tanks, Visions and Avengers, itʼs hard to believe weʼd start the sale with something different. But this matingʼs actual performance, exceptional look and versatility speaks volumes. We donʼt want to tell you what your bulls should look like, but Guardian and his brothers fit the mold for our choice. Phenotypical elites that are rugged, stout and structurally sound. Cap that off with incedible growth and Top 15% marbling, it makes for a unique purchase opportunity.

More Pounds.
MORE PROFIT.
Breeding good cattle isn’t complicated. Cattle feeders give us the ultimate report card. According to Jared Wareham, Top Dollar Angus, “No other option offers the greatest terminal crossbreeding value from the ranch through the feeder like a really good set of smokes or buckskins that are at least 50% Angus or Red Angus.”
Use a registered Charolais bull and genetic verification through CharAdvantage to earn more premiums.
Why?
n Market demand
n Predictability
n Increased weaning & yearling weights
n Easy calving
n More live calves
n Adaptability

When our good friend Nate Baribault approached us about a partnership that would allow us to insert breed leading matron genetics into the operation, the answer was an emphatic YES! Medallion is the perfect way to introduce our new working relationship.
For those followers of the Simmental breed, the Delilah cow needs no introduction. Many consider her to be in the top handful of cows in the entire breed and half interest sold for $90,000 to reinforce the opinion. Medallionʼs full brother, Entourage is currently leased to Select Sires. Medallionʼs unique ability to combine such power, performance, phenotypic presence and structural flexibility makes him such an impactful breeding piece.

• EPD DEFINITIONS AND TERMS •
SIMMENTAL BULLS EPD DEFINITIONS AND TERMS
Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs): EPDs are the most accurate and effective tool available for comparing genetic levels. In using EPDs, the difference between two siresʼ EPDs represents the unit difference expected in the performance of their progeny. For example, if sires A and B have EPDs of +10 and -5, a 15-unit difference would be expected in their progeny (moving from -5 to +10 yields 15 units). Key to using EPDs is knowing in what units they are expressed. For example, if the above case referred to weaning weight EPDs, sire A would be expected to sire 15 pounds more weaning weight than sire B. If calving ease was the trait, sire A would be expected to sire 15 percent more unassisted births in first-calf heifers; in other words, if sire B sired 30 assists in a group of 100 heifers, we would expect sire A to require 15 assists. A percentile-ranking chart is required to determine where a bullʼs EPDs rank him relative to other bulls in the breed. For more detailed information about EPDs and $ indexes, visit www.simmental.org. Listed below are the units in which ASA EPDs are expressed, you can find the full list online:
Calving Ease (CE): Percent of unassisted births when used on heifers.
Birth Weight (BW): Pounds of birth weight.
Weaning Weight (WW): Pounds of weaning weight.
Yearling Weight (YW): Pounds of yearling weight.
Milk (MLK): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk.
Carcass Weight (CW): Pounds of carcass weight at 475 days.
Maternal Calving Ease (MCE): Percent of unassisted births in first-calving daughters.
Yield Grade (YG): Carcass yield grade score at 475 days.
Marbling (MRB): Carcass marbling score at 475 days.
Ribeye Area (REA): Square inches of carcass ribeye at 475 days.
Warner-Bratzler Shear Force (WBSF): Pounds of force required to shear a ribeye steak.
All-Purpose Index (API): Dollars per cow exposed under an all-purpose-sire scenario. (See $ Indexes for more details.)
Terminal Index (TI): Dollars per cow exposed under a terminal-sire scenario. (See TI for more details.)
