• Bulls not sold February 1 will remain on sale until sold out, as in previous years.
• If you cannot be present February 31, we will have a representative on-hand to handle written and phone requests on a “least cost” basis. Satisfaction guaranteed.
If you purchase a bull from us, we will provide you with credit equal to the value of one bag of Feeder Calf Certification Program or Allied Access tags for each bull you purchase. To redeem your credit, bring your receipt for the tags to next year’s sale and we will apply it to your bull purchase.
The FCCP provides age, source and genetic verification for calves sired by registered Red Angus bulls. The FCCP ‘yellow tags’ are recognized by buyers nationwide and return a premium for Red Angus calves enrolled in the program.
The Allied Access program provides age and source verification for commercial cattlemen whose bull battery does not exclusively contain registered Red Angus bulls. Whether you are utilizing multiple sire breeds or halfblood bulls, enrolling in Allied Access demonstrates to buyers that you are taking an extra step in marketing your calves and adding value throughout the production chain.
To enroll in the FCCP or Allied Access, contact the Red Angus marketing department. Enrollment is simple and free of charge. RedAngus.org • 940-477-4593
Judy and I would like to welcome you to our 50th Anniversary Production Sale. It’s truly amazing how time flies by when you are able to do what you love and be able to share your achievements with great people. Over the past 50 years, it’s been great sharing our genetics with our wonderful customers. To the customers that have been with us a lot of years, we are thankful and truly blessed to call all of you friends. Some of our valued customers have passed. They were with us for most of the 50 years and they will be missed. These customers were the ones that came up with the way we have our sale still today.
Judy Loonan
Dick and Judy’s first sale was on Dec. 6, 1975. They had their first 10 sales at the Corning sale barn. At that time, they just sold Simmentals. The gray bulls averaged $353 per head, the red bulls averaged $415, and the charcoal bulls averaged $335 per head. We have sure come a long way since then.
In 1985, they moved the sale back to the farm selling bred females and open heifers the day after Thanksgiving. They sold the bulls in January. In 1986, they started selling bulls private treaty. In February of 1992, the first Red Angus were offered on the 18th sale. The first private treaty auction started in 1994 – that’s when I joined Dick and Judy, and the rest of the is history.
The 50th sale is fast approaching, and Judy and I feel we have a set of bulls that is as even as we have ever sold. That is the goal, right? This year’s bulls have some of the best EPDs you can buy anywhere. It has been our goal to bring you the best genetics available. We bar no expense when it comes to purchasing herd bulls. Cattle markets are at an all-time high and look to stay good for some time to come with cow numbers low. Join us Feb. 1 and purchase top-quality genetics.
We have three new Red Angus sires with progeny in the sale this year. Deep End is a bull we raised out of one of our top cows. He is a long-sided, soft-made bull with a tremendous amount of muscle and bone. He is probably one of the heaviest boned Red Angus bulls I have seen, and he also is a large-framed bull. His calves will carry the same traits.
We purchased Marksman at the Cross Diamond Cattle Co. sale. He is also a bigger framed bull with a lot of performance.
We purchased Reputation at the Feddes-CT Red Angus sale. We used him on heifers. He’s just a little smaller framed bull.
On the Simmental side, we have Infrared, bought from Springer Simmental. He’s a bull with frame and muscle and complements Copperhead well.
As I bring the welcome to an end, we just want to say it truly humbles Judy and myself to have such great customers that we consider friends. Without our loyal customers, we would not have made it 50 years, so thank you for helping us reach this milestone. We hope to be able to serve you for at least another 10 years. I’d like to say 50, but Father Time may catch us before then. We can’t say it enough – thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting us.
We truly hope you can join us on Feb. 1 for our 50th Anniversary Sale. Feel free to call or come and evaluate the bulls before the sale. We would love to show them to you.
Judy and Rick

Care and Management of Yearling Bulls
We occasionally receive questions regarding the proper care and management of yearling bulls. The following suggestions came from other seedstock producers and extension beef specialists:
1. Yearling bulls coming off test need to be in good condition in order to withstand the expected 100300 lbs. weight loss during breeding season. Between the test period and start of breeding season, 8-13 lbs. of grain plus good quality hay or pasture is suggested.
2. During breeding season, young bulls are still growing in addition to their breeding duties. Semen production takes 60 days and poor pasture or inadequate nutrition can severely affect libido, semen quality and quantity.
3. A maximum 60-day breeding season is suggested for yearling bulls, or rotation, to allow them time to rest.
4. Following the 60-day breeding season, proper nutrition can pay big dividends in future development and usefulness of the young bull. This is a very critical age as they start losing their teeth at 18-24 months of age and cannot utilize roughage as well as with permanent teeth. Research indicates that a bull’s usefulness as a two-year-old can be retarded if not properly reconditioned after use as a yearling. Feeding 10-15 lbs. of grain (depending on condition) until the bull is two years old, will help recover the lost weight and provide the nutrition needed for continued growth.
5. Annual deworming and treating for lice when needed helps reduce stress and improves feed efficiency.
These guidelines were developed by beef specialist to help maximize the benefits of superior genetics.

Red Angus Guide to EPDS and Indexes
ProS ... Profitability and Sustainability is an all-purpose index that predicts average economic differences in all segments in the beef supply chain. This index is a combination of the breeding objectives modeled in the HerdBuilder and GridMaster selection indexes. In this index, replacement heifers are retained from within the herd and all remaining progeny are fed out to slaughter and sold on a quality-based grid. Traits included in this index include calving ease, growth, HPG, STAY, Mature Weight, Dry Matter Intake and carcass traits. The resulting index is expressed in dollars per head born (Index/High Value).
HB ..... HerdBuilder is a maternal selection index that predicts the economic differences of animals for traits that are important from conception through weaning. Expressed as dollars per head born, HB is calculated based on the scenario that bulls are mated to heifers and cows, replacement heifers are retained and all remaining progeny are marketed at weaning. Traits included in the HB index include Calving Ease Direct, Calving Ease Maternal, Weaning Weight, Milk, Mature Weight, Heifer Pregnancy and Stayability (Index/High Value).
GM..... GridMaster is a selection index that predicts the average economic difference of non-replacement calves through the postweaning phase of production. GM places selection pressure on growth, feedyard performance and carcass traits. Expressed as dollars per head born, GM is calculated based on the scenario that progeny are fed out to slaughter and marketed on a quality-based carcass grid. Traits included in GM include Average Daily Gain, Carcass Weight, Dry Matter Intake, Marbling, Back Fat and Rib Eye Area (Index/High Value).
CED Calving Ease Direct predicts differences in the percent of calves born unassisted out of 2-year-old dams. (Percent/High Value)
BW Birth Weight predicts differences in actual birth weight of progeny. (Pounds/Low Value)
YW ........ Yearling Weight predicts differences in 365-day yearling weight. (Pounds/High Value)
ADG ....... Average Daily Gain predicts differences in weight gain between 205 and 365 days of age. (Pounds/High Value)
DMI ....... Dry Matter Intake predicts differences in daily feed intake as measured in a feedlot during the post-weaning period. (Pounds/Low Value)
MILK Milk predicts differences in weaning weight attributed to the milking ability of the animal’s daughters. (Pounds/High Value)
ME Maintenance Energy predicts the difference in maintence energy requirements. (Mcal per Month/Low Value)
HPG Heifer Pregnancy predicts differences in the percent of daughters who are able to conceive and calve at 2 years of age following exposure to breeding. (Percent/High Value)
CEM Calving Ease Maternal predicts differences in the percent of daughters who are able to calve unassisted as 2-year-old heifers. (Percent/High Value)
STAY Stayability predicts differences in the ability of an animals’ retained daughters to remain productive in the herd – calve every year – through 6 years of age. (Percent/High Value)
MARB Marbling predicts differences in marbling score – amount of intramuscular fat measured at the 13th rib. (Marbling Score Units/High Value)
YG Yield Grade predicts differences in USDA Yield Grade, which is calculated using CW, REA and Fat. (Yield Grade Units/Low Value)
CW ........ Carcass Weight predicts differences in actual hot carcass weight. (Pounds/High Value)
REA ....... Ribeye Area predicts differences in square inches of ribeye area measured at the 13th rib.(Square Inches/High Value)
FAT ........ Fat predicts differences in the depth of backfat measured between the 12th and 13th ribs. (Inches/Low Value)

A Look At Frame Score
One frame score equals roughly 2” in hip height.
We have agreed with our bull buyers for several years that the frame scores calculated for our catalog using the BIF formula seem unrealistically low. The bulls grow out bigger than that. For 2000-2004, we re-measured the bulls in March and compared that to the original frame score based on December measurements. In all cases the frame scores went up.
About
Some by more than a full frame score.
Note: We hear a lot about the need for uniformity in beef cattle. Frame size measurement is not an exact science, but we do believe the uniformity in the entire Loonan program, along with the natural fleshing ability, is why calves by Loonan bulls excel on the rail.
The Catalog
RED ANGUS has four categories of registered Red Angus.
1A – Purebred 100% Red Angus with no disqualifying characteristics.
1B – 87% to 99% Red Angus with no disqualifying characteristics.
II – 86% or greater Red Angus blood, also 1A and 1B animals that are disqualified because of scurs, white in front of navel, etc. Multiple sire animals (more than one purebred bull in pasture) are also Category II.
III – Less than 87% Red Angus blood.
SIMMENTAL has a complete upgrading program from the half-blood to the purebred.
POLLED: P = Polled
P/S = Polled/Scurred,
DP = Double Polled (both parents polled)
H = Horned
EPDs (Expected Progeny Difference)
Simmental data is from the American Simmental Association. Red Angus data is from the Red Angus Association of America. Growth and carcass EPDs are configured on the same common multi-breed base. EPDs in the catalog are current as of this fall. When new data is processed by the associations, these figures will be updated and adjusted and the EPDs on your registration papers may not be the same as those available at sale time due to new data at the association.
EPD Terms
CE-h – Calving Ease Heifer:
Simmental: Expected ease with which calves sired by the bull will be born to first-calf heifers. Highest (+) figures mean more unassisted births. Lowest (-) figures mean less unassisted births.
Red Angus: Expresses calving ease as CED (Calving Ease Direct). We have ranked each bull one-, two- or three-star based on the best information we have available on the individual and close relatives.
*** Should produce few calving problems when bred to first-calf heifers.
** Should work well on growthy heifers and cows.
* Recommended for use on cows only.
BW – Birth Weight EPD
Expected birth weight of calves sired by this bull. Heavier (+) or lighter (-) than “0” EPD animals are expressed in pounds. The BW EPD takes into account the genetics of the sire and dam and the actual birth weight of this bull. We weigh all calves on a spring scale within 24 hours of birth. We do not estimate any birth weights. Some calves born late on pasture are not weighed and are reported as UNK (unknown).
WW – Weaning Weight EPD
Expected weaning weight of this bull’s calves, heavier (+) or lighter (-) than an animal with a “0” EPD are expressed in pounds. Weaning weight EPD takes into account the genetics inherited from the sire and dam in addition to the actual 205-day weaning weight of the individual.
MM – Maternal Milk EPD – Simmental or M – Milk EPD – Red Angus
Expected increase or decrease in weaning weight of daughters of this bull due to milk production compared to breed average. Note: Data on this trait is limited, and, in many instances, has low accuracy.
Marb – Marbling EPD
Predicts differences for carcass marbling score as expressed in marbling score units. Higher marbling scores are positively correlated with higher carcass grades.
REA – Ribeye Area EPD
Predicts differences of carcass rib eye area between the 12th and 13th rib. Ribeye area is positively correlated with carcass yield grade which also considers fat thickness and carass weights.
FAT or BF– Backfat EPD
Predicts differences for carcass fat depth over the 12th rib as expressed in inches. Fat thickness is negatively correlated with carcass yield grade which also considers ribeye area and carcass weights.
API Index – All-Purpose Index – Simmental
API evaluates sires being used on the entire cowherd (bred to both Angus firstcalf heifers and mature cows) with a portion of their daughters being retained for breeding and steers and remaining heifers being put on feed and sold on grade and yield.
TI Index – Terminal Index – Simmental
YW
– Yearling Weight EPD
Expected weight of this bull’s calves at 365 days of age, expressed in pounds, heavier (+) or lighter (-) than an animal with a “0” EPD.
MCE-h – Maternal Calving Ease EPD of first-calf heifer
Simmental: Expected ease with which this bull’s daughters calve as first calfheifers. Larger positive figures indicate a higher percent of unassisted births (MCEc - cow).
STAY – Stayability EPD – Red Angus
Predicts the probability of a bull’s daughters remaining productive until at least six years of age.
ME – Maintenance Energy EPD – Red Angus
The ME EPD predicts differences in energy requirements of mature daughters of an individual and is expressed in Mega-calories per month.
TI is designed for evaluating sires’ economic merit in situations where they are bred to mature Angus cows and all offspring are placed in the feedlot and sold on grade and yield.
HB Index – HerdBuilder Index – Red Angus
HB will assist in building profitable cowherds with bulls mated to both heifers and mature cows, replacement heifers retained in the herd and remaining progeny sold on a quality-based carcass grid.
GM Index – GridMaster Index – Red Angus
GM will increase profitablity with bulls mated to mature cows and all progeny sold on a quality-based carcass grid.
Red SimAngus™ –
The Red Angus Association of America and American Simmental Association have worked together to build a multi-breed database that includes SimAngus™. In the catalog, I have used the Association for the sire of each calf to publish as long as available.
