Fellow Cattlemen, It’s hard to believe that a year has gone by since I wrote this for our sale a year ago. What an unprecedented year in the cattle business it has been! Never have we seen feeder and live cattle prices soar to these levels and the cowman be in such a profitable position. It is truly safe to say that as long as the weather supports it, expansion of the beef industry is under way. Just as it was with $8 corn, $230 feeder cattle have us searching for the very best genetics and most performance we can find. Being that the beef cattle business is so much more about longevity than grain, the convenience traits such as calving ease, reproductive efficiency, and maternal ability can’t be overlooked simply for performance. As you read through this year’s catalog, you may notice a fairly substantial change in some of the EPDs over previous years. The Shorthorn breed took a monumental step forward and combined their performance system into the MultiBreed Genetic Evaluation. This will allow our numbers to be compared in the same pool and on the same plane as with breeds such as Simmental, Red Angus, Gelbvieh and a growing number of others. We feel that this eliminates much confusion over different EPD systems and how to compare different breeds of cattle. It will also allow for a full EPD profile for our composite genetics. In this new era, our cattle have stacked up extremely well, showing fantastic calving ease, moderate growth, and excellent marbling. All of these EPDs are backed up by many years of actual performance numbers suggesting the same thing. As you look through the bull offering, over 82% are in the breed’s top 15 % for CED and MCE, 76% for BW, and 80% for $BMI. As in the past, the Spring bulls and heifers have not been ultrasounded, but will be by sale day. Please check in at www.LovingFarms.com as we will post this and other sale information as it becomes available. By the time you receive this catalog, videos will also be posted on our website. The sale will be broadcast live on DVAuctions.com again, so if you are unable to attend this will be a good option, please make sure to register in advance. Also, if you would like to visit about the offering and/or bid over the phone, please feel free to give any of the family or representatives listed a call. The cattle will available for viewing at any time leading up to the sale. Plan to join us Friday night the 6th for supper and social at the sale facility or for sure for lunch at noon just ahead of the Sale at 1 pm CST. Thanks for your interest in our program,

One of the most explosive performing bulls we have ever offered. He is a half brother to one of the top sellers from last year’s sale, President 2759 that sold to Teague Diversified of CO, and has the numbers to be way better than his brother. We ask our cows to ideally produce 50% of their body weight at weaning, his mother did nearly 70%. His numbers will tell you from birth to rail his progeny will excel.

He is in the top 1% of the breed for MCE and top 10% for CED, BW, Milk and $BMI.

DS Carrier When we sold 4013’s sire, we knew he was a good prospect, but had no clue as to how much we underestimated him. For a calving ease sire, he sires extreme muscle shape, depth, and length. We think 4013 ties it all together maybe better than his father.

4003’s sire was used every way imaginable on this farm. When it came time to throw a measuring stick to some of our younger sires, he was the logical choice for a high accuracy sire. He still has it. This calf has impeccable calving ease, milk, and carcass and doesn’t give up performance. Safe for heifers.

4042’s mother was the first and may still be one of the best 4508 daughters to date. She is a massive and extremely broody female and we think 4042 shows the ability to sire those maternal traits. We always had high hopes the cross of Prestige and 4508 would have this kind of result.

4103 is a really attractive made, smaller framed female. She is a granddaughter of the impressive Cumberland 5113 cow that left us many great, young, high CE and MCE females.
Dollar Indexes $CEZ – ($ Calving Ease) This index assumes a bull will only be mated to heifers, not cows. The potential profitability of the sire is measured by the incidence of live calves at birth. Moderate mature size is also emphasized in the index, but performance is not a priority.
$F – ($ Feedlot) This multi-trait index assumes the sire will be mated to a mix of heifers and cows and attempts to measure profitability when progeny are sold on the fed market. On the female side, mature size should be monitored closely when selecting for $F.
20
$BMI – ($ British Maternal Index) This multi-trait selection index attempts to measure a bull’s potential profitability when complimenting the British cow base (Angus, Red Angus, Hereford, etc.). A balance of growth and carcass traits is desired with a strong maternal component aimed at optimum reproductive efficiency and cow longevity.
Fall Bred Heifers This group of Fall Bred Heifers is a new addition to our sale. We feel this is a great set of females with much to offer no matter your specific operation. The females have been confirmed pregnant by Biopryn blood test. They were AI bred to calve September 23 and were pasture exposed to KL Proud Leader 321. Being that they were short bred, we felt it was not in their best interest to handle them for pictures for this catalog. There will be pictures and videos posted on our website before the sale, so check them out at www.LovingFarms.com.
