John Ficken, David LeRoy, Dale Maneth and Craig Rucker Dear Friends, Welcome to the Mid-Kansas Angus Breeders 2014 production sale. We have a good offering of yearling to twoyear-old bulls to sell on March 19th, and we hope you will come early, look them over, and join us for lunch.

We are four different breeders, but we all have the same goal of providing you with cattle that will work in your operation. We are selecting for strong maternal traits, fertility, moderate cow size, calving ease, above average growth, good carcass values, and good disposition. If you are planning on breeding some extra heifers, we have a great selection of calving-ease bulls to pick from. These are good times for the cow-calf producer and it is a great time to upgrade your genetics.

We are having a video auction with DVAuction for the first time this year. The bulls will be penned at the LaCrosse sale barn by 10:00 sale day as usual. A video screen in the ring will display the bull currently being auctioned, or buyers can watch and bid over the Internet from their homes. We believe that not running the bulls through the ring will help us avoid injuries and disposition problems with the bulls.

We will have updates to the catalog available on sale day. If you need any more information or want to see the cattle before the sale, feel welcome to stop by or call any time.

If you are unable to attend the sale you can bid online at www.dvauctions.com. It works best to go online and register two days or more before the sale if you plan to do this.

We want to thank you for your past support and we look forward to seeing you on March 19th.

Expected Progeny Differences EPDs are a prediction of how future progeny of a sire or dam are expected to perform in each of the traits listed. EPDs are expressed in pounds for growth traits and milk production. Each animal is compared to every other animal in the herdbook.

You might expect that the average EPD would be 0, but that is not the case. Here are the current average EPDs for non-parent bulls.

Pathfinder Program: A Search for Superior Cows The Pathfinder Angus program was started in 1978 in an effort to identify superior cows in the breed based on their records of performance from Angus Herd Improvement Records (AHIR).

To become a Pathfinder (indicated by a # in front of her name in the pedigree — shown in this catalog as a # behind her name in the pedigree), a cow must calve her first time near the herd’s average for first calving and yearly after that. She must wean at least three calves with an average weaning ratio of 105 or above.

To be a Pathfinder sire, a bull must have five or more Pathfinder daughters.

Bull Power Investment Pays Enterprise analysis puts sire contribution in perspective

By Miranda Reiman Many people have a distinct strategy for purchasing a new pickup. They want certain features, and they’re willing to pay more for this but not that. They figure value and how much it’ll be worth for resale X-number years down the road.

But when those same ranchers go to buy a bull, it’s hard to follow such a plan. Action at the auction can lead to price “opportunities” and buying less than they really wanted.

Jim McGrann, emeritus ranch management economist at Texas A&M, says bull-buying should be more like a vehicle purchase and less like shopping the bargain bin on an after-Christmas sale.

“When you put it in the proper perspective – what does it mean in terms of depreciation per female serviced – it’s really a low-cost number when one takes into account increasing salvage value,” he says, noting investment minus salvage should be spread over three to five years.

A bull that services an average of 25 cows per year for 5 years, typically accounts for less than 10 percent of total cow costs.

“The seedstock people do a poor job of marketing because they’re always talking up that they’re price sensitive and price competitive,” McGrann says. “They never really talk about, when you purchase a bull, you’re making a long term investment.”

He authored an Excel spreadsheet (available at http://agrisk.tamu.edu/herd-bull-investment) that helps calculate what different bulls could mean to cow costs.

Increasing bull purchase price by $200 only moves the annual cost per hundredweight of calf weaned by 42 cents. A $2,900 bull covering 25 cows per year divides out to a total of $9.31 per cwt. calf weaned. For a $3,100 bull, that moves to $9.73.

Add another $1,000 to the bull purchase price, up to $4,100, and that per-hundredweight calf cost would increase just $2.10 to $11.83 “Buying genetics is investing in the future to conform to market demands,” McGrann says. It’s important to choose bulls that help meet what the next owners of your calves want, all the way to the consumer, he says.

When genetics help add value to the herd, the cost decreases.

The above figures are based on an average 550pound weaned calf. If a particular sire adds 20 lbs. per animal, the cost per cwt. of calf weaned drops to $8.98 on a $2,900 bull and to $11.41 on a $4,100 sire.

Notch that up by 100 lb. to a 650 lb. weaning weight average and that cost drops by a $1.33, or more than 10 percent.

Selection for more carcass merit will drop net bull cost as well, given any way to capitalize on the added value. Though such qualitative traits aren’t part of this calculator, the point is part of a larger fact.

“Genetics is a cheap input,” McGrann says. “You are not going to make any money or save your costs by buying low-quality sires. There’s no way.”

Reproduction is still key, so any sire that improves that area on the balance sheet will pay more than his fair share.

The examples assume an 85 percent ratio of weaned calf per cow exposed. If a particular bull excels in calving ease or heifer pregnancy traits, perhaps that number could inch up to 90 percent.

In that case, the bull cost per cwt. of weaned calf drops by 52 cents.

Compounding some of those factors like a bull that increases reproduction and adds more pounds makes the dollars even more apparent.

McGrann’s calculator is based on producers selling calves at weaning, but he says that does not mean that weight is the only factor that matters in those calves.

Bull-buying should be more like a vehicle purchase and less like shopping the bargain bin on an after-Christmas sale. When genetics help add value to the herd, the cost decreases.

“They have to be in tune with the market,” he says.

“If ranchers want to get one-on-one with a feedyard guy, he’ll be straight with them. He’ll take them around pen by pen and show them what he wants.”

That includes cattle that finish heavier and ultimately sell on a quality-based grid, McGrann says.

Once they have that target in mind, it’s more important to infuse the herd with good genetics than to save a couple hundred bucks on a bull, he says.

“To say that a higher quality calf costs more to produce, boy that is not right, because the inputs that affect quality, particularly genetics, are really low cost,” he says.

McGrann says producers also need to adjust their mindset to account for today’s economics.

“If you told somebody that they had to pay $4,000 for a bull, they would have gone mad 5 years ago. But today, when you put it in perspective of $180 calves, it’s a completely different world.”
