Welcome to the 19th Annual Sunflower Genetics Production Sale Everyone at Sunflower Genetics would like to extend an invitation to be our guest March 20th. We spend all year working for and looking forward to this day. We are always excited to show off the cattle we have spent most of our lives building. In reality we are equally excited to see everyone at the sale. It goes without saying, these are exciting times to be involved in the beef industry. Let’s not dwell on the prices, but we all need to focus on how each and every one of us can reap the benefit of these historical prices. There has never been a better time to get the most bang for your buck, as you can in today’s markets. Everyone used to talk about getting an extra $25/calf, but with today’s prices, hundreds of dollars are possible with improved genetics. A few extra pounds, a live calf because of easy calving genetics, an extra calf or two because of bred in longevity of the cow herd or simply more dollars at the sale barn because your calves look the part. Suddenly, a well-bred bull becomes the cheapest investment you can make in your cowherd. All of that is before you even take the calves to the feedlot where premiums are abundantly achievable for cattle with superior genetics. Added growth and feed efficiency reduce feed costs and the icing on the cake comes when they hung up carcasses that bring a premium. Improvement in all areas can net each of us a worthwhile payoff. We have spent 35 years building a cow herd that can work in all areas and provide you the genetics that can add to your bottom line. “Perfect Blend of Genetics, Designed for Profits”. Family is always a theme around here. Years ago we (Mary and I) started what was then Sunflower Cattle Company. I don’t think either of us knew where it would go or how long it would last, and today probably can’t completely answer that question absolute certainty. I do know the next generation is stepping in and the future is bright. Jake and Ben are both working with us, Becky works in Topeka and spends as much time as she can here, Joe is a sophomore at Fort Scott Community College and will be attending KSU in the fall, and Sam is a sophomore in High School already looking at the future. Fresh ideas and drive will help push Sunflower Genetics to the next level. New this year is that we will not be running any cattle through the ring. It will be all video. After considerable discussion and talking to others doing the same, we concluded that the added stress on the cattle and additional help required to run the cattle through made video a logical decision. We encourage you to come early, look through the cattle or watch video online and make good notes. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us. We look forward to seeing you March 20th and if we can be of any help or assistance, please feel free to call anytime. Home phone 785-256-6461 (not accessible sale day), Steve 785-640-8060, Jake 785-640-8062 or Ben 785-640-9390. Sincerely,

The Gleasons

“K.I.S.S.” - A Word on Selection Indexes Selection Indexes

K.I.S.S (Keep It Simple Stupid) K.I.S.S was ancronym I can remember being used growing up. Wether it was basketball coaches or livestock judging coaches it all meant the same. Sometimes we can make things more complicated than they need to be and K.I.S.S. is a good remindar to acknowledge that sometimes a simplier path does exist. Selection indexes do just that. However, they are based on complex calculations that are hard to follow and sometimes make you scratch your head, in the realm of indexes few fully understand the fine details. Nonetheless, the simplicity and impact one selection tool can have on your cow herd is unmatched. Most if not all breeds publish selection indexes, for this sale we will focus on the ones that relate to Angus and Simmental cattle respectfully.

Angus

Simmental

$EN–Expressed in dollar savings per cow per year, based on a sires daughters. Takes into account lactation energy requirements and differences in mature cow size. $W—Expressed in dollars per head. The expected average difference in future progeny performance for pre-weaning value. $B—Expressed in dollars per head. Helps explain differences in post-weaning and carcass value compared to calves of other sires.

TI—Evaluates sires use on mature Angus cows with all offspring put on feed and sold grade and yield. API–Evaluates sires use on the entire cow herd (bred to both Angus first-calf heifers and mature cows) with the portion of their daughters required to maintain herd size retained and the remaining heifers and steers put on feed and sold grade and yield.

How do Angus and Simmental Indexes relate to each other? When we look at selection indexes as they relate to each breed we try to simplify. API and $W are similar to one another. These indexes both focus on important traits that impact the cow herds long term profitabilty. In contrast TI and $B are similar to each other. Both favor cattle who’s progeny grow well after weaning and perform on the rail, ignoring maternal value.

What selection index is right for my cow herd? As with EPDs, an evaluation of your own herd is a good place to start when it comes to determining what index is right for your cow herd. If decisions are based upon the wrong index the results could be catastrophic. For example, if your goal is to build a cowherd anchored by reproductive excellence, longevity, calving ease, moderate cow size and optimum milk production to avoid high feed costs selection emphisis on $B or TI would likely result in a dissaster. Same can be said if feedlot performance and retained ownership are goals and selection pressure is placed on $W and API, substantial profits would more than likely be left on the table.

SimAngusTM Bulls

Purebred Angus Bulls

API – 15% • TI – 10%

API – 35% • TI – 35%

CED – 4% • $W – 15%

What do I need to know before choosing the right index? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

ductive efficiency, longevity, calving ease and keeping feed resources to a minimum take into account API and $W when selecting your next bull.

What kind of cow herd do I have/want? How do I market my calves? Do I retain my own replacement heifers? What are my feed and labor resources? Where do I want to take my cow herd/business?

The proper scenario to use TI and/or $B? If you sell all of your calves at weaning or retain ownership through the feeding phase use TI and $B. Rewards from selecting high TI and $B cattle will be evident when the calf crop goes to the rail and your check comes in the mail. These cattle generally speaking are built to run on a race track and in this analogy the pasture is a dirt road and the feedlot is a nascar speedway.

The proper scenario to use API and/or $W? To keep it simple if you sell your calves at weaning and retain your own replacement heifers use these two indexes. If you value reproBreed

Heterosis...It’s Like A Free Lunch What is Heterosis?

Creating Maximum Heterosis

Heterosis can be defined as increase in such characteristics as size, growth rate, fertility, and yield of a hybrid organism over those of its parents. Plant and animal breeders exploit heterosis by mating two different purebred lines that have desirable traits. The first-generation offspring generally show, in greater measure, the desired characteristics of both parents.

Why Simmental and Angus? To maximize heterosis, breeds need to be genetically different. Therefore a continental and british breed are a good place to start. One advantage is that both breeds have potentail to be homozygous black, enabling offspring to capitilize on a color driven cattle market. Also, why not combine two of the industries most powerful breeds. Supporting evidence can be found in the table below. Economic Trait

The first step to achieving a goal is to know what the goal is and then to gain knowledge of how to get there. Across the page is a definition of heterosis. As it relates to creating maximum heterosis, two different purebred lines need to be used. The more different the breeds the more heterosis is gained. The result is an animal with the most heterozygous genes as possible. However, the challenge is to maximize heterosis while not sacraficing consistancy, color and polled status. This is were our 25 years of experience comes in and what we feel can be described as the “Perfect Blend of Genetics Designed for Profit$.” We strive to create as much heterosis as we can while not turning our back on the end product as it relates to the entirety of the calf crop/cowherd.

This research validates that Simmental and Angus are two of the industrys most powerful breeds. Why not combine them? We have been doing so for 25 years and counting. The benefits of crossing the two breeds was immediately evident. Beginning with heavier weaning weights in the fall. However, the best was yet to come. When it came time to breed the resulting heifer progeny we experienced higher conception rates, both as heifers and as 3 year olds, when compared to the purebreds. All because of the power of heterosis.

How do I Effectively Capitalize on Heterosis? The above table outlines our suggestions as it relates to heterosis and how to incorporate our three different bull breed options. The simplist way to inject heterosis is to utilize the SimAngus bulls. These bulls are compatable with british, commercial mix, continental and SimAngus females. Even still, we feel like the SimAngus bulls are most valuable to a set of mixed commercial cows. What makes these bulls so well suited for commercial mixed cows is the versatility they bring to the table. In a setting where some cows need a calving ease bull while others need a shot of growth a SimAngus bull brings a balanced package with the bonus of heterosis. Another scenerio where we feel a SimAngus bull earns his keep is in smaller operations. Here again the need for a heifer bull limits the potential pounds weaned by mature cows. Why buy 2 bulls when you only need one? For best results use purebred bulls on the opposite breed cows. The blend of brisith and continental cattle is one you will be happy with.

Our goal in developing bulls is to have the bulls grow and express their potential, but not get fat. Ideally, the bulls gain around 3 pounds a day. This is enough for comparison in the groups, but keeps the bulls from getting too fat. We know the bulls can gain more, but the race to have the biggest yearling weight or highest ADG is not as important as providing you with a bull that will last for many years and be a good investment for your cowherd.

Sure he has a modest birth weight of 85 pounds and weaned off with a 118 weaning ratio. He kept going and posted and equally impressive 116 yearling ratio. Even his ultrasound scan data adds to his impressive list of achievements. Or maybe you will be more impressed with his EPD profile that ranks him in the top 1% of the entire breed for growth. Actually, he beats top 1% for yearling weight by a whopping 10 pounds! He’s 50 pounds above breed average for yearling weight. Think about every calf you have with an extra 50 pounds when you sell them as yearlings, how much is that worth? His API is in the top 20% and his TI is the top 3%. In our eyes, his best attribute is his dam. She is definitely one of my favorite cows in terms of mass, volume, eye appeal, and udder quality. Doesn’t hurt she has averaged 120 on her two calves at weaning, 115 at yearling, 105 on IMF and 108 on rib eye area. Not bad stats for a good young cow. Last fall after weaning, the decision was made to flush her this spring after she calves. We like her so much that we want to use B459 to add more of her influence to our herd.

106 at weaning and 105 at yearling is why he comes in at top 5% for weaning EPD and top 3% for yearling growth. Yet he is in the top 30% for calving ease. He has a little better calving ease but still top end growth. Phenotypically, B425 is a standout. Thick from end to end and soft made best describes him. His dam is a model cow to look at and has excelled with her calves.

W/C United 956Y Over the years we have used some good SimAngus bulls but never before have we had a SimAngus sire group this deep. The United cattle we have seen are optimum frame sized, easy fleshing, good on their feet and legs. They came easy and have grown exceptionally well across the board.

Several years ago we found this Basin Franchise cow at Express Ranches Big Event sale. Her along with EXAR Empress 8821 (mother of lots 64 & 65), were selected because of the consistancy of the Franchise cows. Both cows are moderate framed, deep bodied, very maternal in their build, sound and have nearly perfect udders. Their phenotype combined with their EPD profile and they represent what we think an Angus cow should be. We flushed 81250 to the Wide Track bull who is also something a little different. The end result is fresh genetics in our SimAngus program. Lot 12 has been admired since birth and really did well on his ultrasound data. Let this planned outcross SimAngusTM bull go to work for you.

Bull Development Program Striving to have the bulls grow and express their potential, but not get fat, is our main goal in developing bulls for our customers. We do not want to buy over-fat bulls ourselves and do not feel you do either. Ideally, the bulls gain around 3 pounds a day. This is enough for comparison in the groups, but keeps the bulls from getting too fat. We know the bulls can gain more, but the race to have the biggest yearling weight or highest ADG is not as important as providing you with a bull that will last for many years and be a good investment for your cowherd. Bulls are developed in pens that offer plenty of wide open space for the bulls to exercise. These pens are surrounded by high tensile electric fence. www.SunflowerGenetics.com • 21

EPDs CED BW WW YW CEM Milk $EN $W $B 16.0 -1.5 52 82 14.0 30 -18.13 51.58 54.38 We have always bred our Angus for calving ease and maternal traits and Lot 53 is a prime example. Top 1% for calving ease, top 3% birth weight and top 10% $W. The traits that make a cow herd pay dividends. Of course his individual performance has a lot to do with his impressive EPDs. 75 pound birth weight, 116 weaning ratio and followed that with an equally impressive 109 yearling ratio. No bull would be complete without outstanding ultrasound data and he doesn’t disappoint you there either. Actually it’s quite impressive. 124 IMF ratio, 102 rea ratio with a 14.02 inch ribeye. Whats more impressive yet is that he was leaner than the average! It’s no fluke that he did well as his dam’s calves excel every year. Her stat sheet reads as follows: 6@100 for birth weight, 6@110 for weaning ratio, 4@106 for yearling ratio, 6@109 for IMF and 6@ 98 for rib eye area. Not to shabby. For those that follow our cattle may observe a common denominator in Lot 53 and our Lot 1, high seller from last years sale at $14,000. Their granddam is the same cow, LA Pride 5522 LG302. 462B has caught everyone’s eye practically from day one. Visually he is a tank. Extremely deep bodied, practical and comfortable on the move. 462B has the potential to be generator of fertile, long lifed females suggested by his large scrotal circumferance and age of dam. Bulls like him will have an impact on a herd for many years.
