Dear Cattle Producer, It has been an interesting year for 2014. Never have we had so much rain with such a poor hay crop. Timing is everything and there we sat with no rain for our hay and then got 6 inches in September.

Along with the snow we have had, 2015 should at least have a good start.

The bulls are fed the CHS bull challenger pellet. We really like the way the bulls grow on this feed. They are at about 13 pounds of pellets and grain per day but half is spring wheat this year. The wheat was the right price and the protein is higher than in the pellet.

We’ll see you there!

I would like to expand on my outlook on feeding cattle. Many of our buyers are on similar conditions which is dryland pasture with moderate to severe winters. I had a potential customer call and ask about wean weights. He didn’t like my numbers at first but he was on very different ground. His cows stay on irrigated pasture for most of the year and you can not truly compare the two straight across. Here is my proof for such a claim: My daughter, Lisa, and her husband moved to a small place this last year and her cows went with her. The breeding and genetics on these cows is very similar to my herd. You could almost say it was the same except they did use their own bull this year. The biggest difference was the green feed these cows where on most of the summer.

Lisa and Mark’s cow production went from roughly the middle of our herd to around the top. I think looking at the difference in one year helps show what genetics can do for your herd. Cows need to be able to work in the conditions they are in with very little supplements and so do the bulls we grow and send out to work.

We hope you can join us sale day but if you can’t DVAuction will be broadcasting the sale. Last year, a few of our customers came a day or two before the sale and then bought the bulls online. They said that worked great and then they didn’t have to worry about weather or a heifer calving while they were gone all day. If weather is bad we may forgo sending the bulls through the ring but will use the DVAuction videos that have already been taken. Bull viewing would still be available sale day. This would let everyone sit in the warm shop and buy bulls. We only plan on doing this if the weather is really bad. (Maybe like the -25 we had last year.) We will continue to take phone bids for anyone who may not have a fast enough internet connection but will not be able to attend the sale. Lastly anyone buying on the internet is more than welcome to the thank you dinner that night in Stanford. It is one of the best parts of the sale for us when we get to visit with all our friends and customers.

Double B Catering will provide lunch in the shop at 11:30. We are happy to have them back for the second year and really appreciate their hard work. Coffee and rolls will be available all day out in the barn.

Thank you for your time and your interest in the bulls. If you decide to come see the bulls call us at the ranch 406/566-2479.

Someone is almost always here and we all like to talk about bulls. Tom can be reached at the above number but also feel free to call Jared at 406/868-9869. He has worked extensively with the bulls and will also be able answer any questions.

Sincerely,

Hill’s Ranch Simmentals Tom and Kathy Hill Matt, Jared, Lisa and Mark Merci, Wendy and Stacey

Hill’s Buy-back Program

100% guarantee for the first breeding season.

Satisfaction guaranteed on any sight unseen purchase.

NOTES: We color coded the bulls for where their EPDs rank against breed averages. A bull in the top 50% for a trait is marked yellow, top 20% green and top 5% blue. Any herdsires in the top 1% are purple. We hope this helps anyone unfamiliar with EPDs to find bulls with the traits they want. Top 1% The 1/2 blood bulls are ranked on the hybrid % Top 5% table. Please note that the Red Angus bulls should Top 20% not be compared to the other percentage bulls Top 50% since they are a different breed composition.

Thank you to Sonja Gregory for ultra-sounding the bulls and Leonard, Dianne, and Pam Vanek for taking pictures this year.

Also a big thank you to the crew at DVAuction for getting videos of the bulls. As a special thank you, all bull buyers will be treated to dinner at the Waterhole in Stanford, the night of the bull sale. Social at 5:30 and Dinner at 6:30 The sale will be a full auction and sale order will be available sale day and on the website. (If you do not find the sale order on the website please call and we will email you a copy.) $100 off each bull you buy and take home that day or we offer free delivery in Montana.

We would like the opportunity to bid on progeny of the bulls we market by offering a buy-back program! For the past ten years, Hill’s Ranch has been buying cattle and feeding these cattle. Last year we fed over 400 head of feeder cattle sired by Hill’s Ranch bulls. We have enjoyed great success with this system and would like to expand to include more cattle.

This is a remarkable opportunity not only for seed stock breeders but for commercial owners as well. We are offering this program to producers that use Hill’s Ranch bulls.

BLACK & POLLED TESTS - We have tested a select number of bulls for horned/polled and homozygous black. The black was not done yet but the polled is included in the comments for the bulls tested. Those same bulls are the ones tested for homo-black and you can check the website for those results or we can send them to you if requested.

Genomic Testing

Genomic testing has become a promising new technology for evaluating breeding stock. We have applied it to our program in different areas to help you with your bull selections.

What is the benefit to buyers?

The GGP test was called the 50K and some might be more familiar with that name. What it does is improve the accuracy of a bulls EPDs. It does not improve the EPD itself. It is like having five calves entered for the bull.

What testing has Hill’s Ranch done?

We are testing all our young herd sires and will be doing any future sires. That gives us better direction for how to use a bull and what he will do. For this year’s, sale we tested only a select number of bulls in the sale. We would like to see how our customers respond to the program and would appreciate feedback. It does add enough cost to each bull that we want to make sure of the positive impact before significally investing in it.

GGP-HD or GGP-LD? (That’s a lot of letters to remember.)

Think of it as GGP. The HD (high density) is like the high definition on your TV and the LD (low density) is just a more affordable option. The only time HD is required is for donor dams and AI sires. We use the HD on our herd sires. That way we can use them as AI sires if we wish to. We used the LD on the sale bulls this year. The bull’s updated EPDs are included in the book. All the bulls with updated EPDs are marked with the blue circle above.

Mr Ishee Converter 816

PB SIM - Red & Polled Converter has become a proven sire with a lot to offer any red herd. His marbling is in the top 1% and his feedlot calves make a nice profit because of it. Definitely a calving ease bull that will maintain a good wean weight with his thick bodied calves. If you keep replacements, Converter can help reduce mature cow size.

PB SIM - Black & Homozygous Polled This is a black bull out of a red cow. We didn’t really plan on using him as a red sire but he has created a nice opportunity for some outcross bulls. All the calves out of On Time look good.

EPDs have been improved using the GGP-HD!

What is DD?

DD is a genetic defect called developmental duplication. For a good tutorial on this defect go to http://www.angus.org/pub/DD/DDInfo.aspx. We have read up on DD and do not feel it is a problem that will cause you to not use a bull. The chance of having a problem from it is very small. The industry does need to keep an eye on it but the majority of cattle producers will probably never see it. The herd sires we use that are known carriers of DD are Bon View New Design 1407, G A R Predestined and GW Lucky Quarter 622X. We have tested some of the bulls and it is marked in their comments if they are carriers or free of DD.

PB AN - Homozygous Black & Polled This well known AI sire has an amazing set of EPDs and you can see why he has been so popular. Ten X calves are heavy weaning and solid looking cattle. His is one of the easiest calving Angus bulls we are using but that does not take away from his performance. We strongly suggest referring to the videos for the bulls without EPDs because there is more to see than what we have for information.

The females on some of these percentage bulls don’t have a lot of information but they are excellent heifers. They were picked for correct conformation and good udders. These female are mainly 1/2 SM 1/2 AN cows and this adds a good dose of heterosis to their makeup.

Lot 113 has a very smooth walk, and good balance. He also has good muscle formation and a good disposition.

EPD TERMS & ABBREVIATIONS Breed averages can be used as a benchmark to determine where an animal ranks within the breed as well as whether or not an animal’s offspring will be suitable for a given set of environmental conditions.

Calving Ease (CE): The average difference of unassisted births when used on heifers. A higher value indicates greater calving ease.

Birth Weight (BW): Predicts the average difference in an animal’s offspring. Expressed in pounds of birth weight. Used primarily as an indicator of calving ease.

Weaning Weight (WW): Predicts the average difference in an animal’s offspring. Expressed in pound at weaning. Does not account for variance in WW that are due to milk.

Yearling Weight (YW): Predicts the average difference in an animal’s progeny. Expressed in pounds at one year of age.

Maternal Calving Ease (MCE): The average ease of a bull’s first-calving daughters compared to daughters of a different sire.

Milk (MILK): Expressed as pounds of calf weaned and reflect the avg. difference due to the milking ability of a bull’s daughters.

Maternal Weaning Weight (MWW): Expressed as pounds of calf weaned. Account for avg. differences from both WW direct as well as from milk, and measure a sire’s ability to transmit milk production and growth rate through his daughters.

CARCASS EPDs Carcass Weight (CW): Estimate average differences in carcass weight at a given age endpoint.

Yield Grade (YG): In an effort to apply the same scale the industry uses in quantifying meat yield Percent Retail Cuts EPD is now expressed as an YG EPD. As with all EPDs, YG EPD is expressed as a deviation. Unlike its predecessor, however, negative values are desirable. To use it, keep in mind that it is in yield grade units. Therefore, lower is better. For example, a bull with a .33 YG EPD would be expected to sire offspring that are a 1/3 of a yield grade better (lower) than a 0.0 YG EPD bull. If bulls with a zero EPD for Yield Grade sired an average yield of 3.0 in a particular environment and management system, offspring of a -.33 bull would be expected to have an average yield grade of 2.67 (1/3 of a yield grade better/lower).

Marbling (MARB): The average difference in USDA Quality Grade in a bull’s progeny at a given endpoint. A numerical marbling score where one point equals one USDA marbling score.

Ribeye Area (RIB): The average difference in ribeye area in a bull’s progeny at a given endpoint.

All-Purpose Index (API): Dollars per cow exposed under an all-purpose-sire Ultra-sound Data Table scenario. Evaluates sires for use on the entire cow herd (bred to both Angus IMF Quality Marbling Degree Marbling first-calf heifers and mature cows) with the portion of their daughters required Grade Score 2.3 - 3.0 Select Slight 0 - 40 4.0 - 4.4 to maintain herd size retained and the remaining heifers and steers put on feed and sold grade and yield.

3.1 - 3.9 Select + Slight 50 - 90 4.5 - 4.9 Terminal Index (TI): Dollars per cow exposed under a terminal-sire scenario.

4.0 - 5.7 Choice Small 0 - 90 5.0 - 5.9 Evaluates sire for use on mature Angus cows all offspring put on feed and sold 5.8 - 7.6 Choice Modest 0 - 90 6.0 - 6.9 grade and yield.

7.7 - 9.7 Choice + Moderate 0 - 90 7.0 - 7.9 9.9 - 12.1 Prime - Slightly Ab 0 - 90 8.0 - 8.9 12.3 + Prime Moderately Ab 0+ 9.0 +

Using API and TI: First, determine which index to use; if you are keeping replacements use API, if not, use TI. Then, just as with EPDs, zero in on the unit difference between bulls. The difference can be used to determine how much a bull is worth in compared to another.

Important disclaimer: DO NOT compare index values for purebreds of different breeds, hybrids of different breed compositions or purebreds with hybrids - our system (ASA system) was not developed to make valid comparisons among these groups. Therefore, you must first determine the breed and breed composition appropriate to your herd and use index values to compare animals within that population.

(Simtalk, Volume 18 Number 2. March 2010)

FERTILITY TEST Central MT Vet will be fertility testing and doing a breeding soundness evaluation on all the bulls. All bulls are guaranteed for the first breeding season.

SCROTAL MEASUREMENTS Scrotal Measurement Table These scrotal measurements are actual measurements and not adjusted. Months of age 12-14 15-20 21-30 30 + Please make sure and watch the age of the bull in relation to the measure- Scrotal cm 35 37 39 40 Excellent ments.
