WELCOME CATTLE BUYERS! While our family has been raising cattle for several generations, this year marks our 25th year of raising registered Simmental and SimAngusTM cattle. We have always focused on performance and efficient production. Deer Creek Farm is enrolled in Total Herd Enrollment (THE) and all data from birth to yearling is reported to American Simmental Association (ASA). We have been listed by ASA the past two years for having a high score with reporting data. We are an ASA Performance Advocate. You can be confident that Deer Creek Farm cattle are backed with as much data as you can get.

The cattle at Deer Creek Farm are managed similar to most commercial cow-calf operations. The cow herd is totally on grass on a rotational grazing schedule for most of the year and receives hay in the winter months. For minerals and vitamins, we provide Crystalyx and salt blocks year round. Other than this, the cattle do not receive any supplemental nutrition. This management has resulted in a cow herd that maintains good body condition on forages, acclimated to fescue, has a 365 day calving interval, and weans stout and growthy calves. We do not creep feed our calves. The weaning weights you see are true weaning weights with no supplement. They are all adjusted to a standard 205 days.

As you evaluate the sale lots, the EPDS are one of your best tools. The EPDs are calculated by ASA, who maintains the largest multi-breed data base. The EPDs are backed by lots of data, not just the individual cattle themselves, but also related progeny across the country. The API and TI are indexes that have become increasingly popular, as the indexes combine several EPDs with economic data. Please refer to the EPD section to get more information.

We tried to get as much of the weight data in the catalog as possible. However, timelines for catalog development and mailing time were factors. A supplement data sheet on the bulls will be available on sale day and on our website as soon as it is available.

We hope that you will join us for our sale and invest in some great production oriented Simmental and SimAngusTM cattle.

Mark Campbell and family

If you have a black Angus based cow herd, this bull will give you a lot of heterosis and you will still get black calves. You can feel comfortable using this bull on heifers as his calving ease is in the top 25%. His dam is our best cow and is still in the herd. Excellent API and TI.

Second generation SimAngus out the ultra calving ease bull GW Premium Beef. API in the top 10%.

GW Premium Beef – Sire of Lot 20

Leave ‘em and Breed ‘em Option We are offering buyers of any yearling heifer the option to leave your heifer with us to breed and have her confirmed pregnant and available for delivery or pick up between April 1-15.

Heifers will be synchronized and A.I. bred in late November, and then our herd sire will be turned in 12 days after the A.I. date for a breeding season of 75 days. Our herd sire, MSR 2214Z of 6215S SNGLE, is a homozygous black and polled purebred Simmental. The heifers will be vet checked so that you will know if the heifer is safe to the A.I or natural service. Buyer can choose the bull for A.I., but the selection must be from our inventory. The available purebred Simmental bulls are: NLC Upgrade, Gibbs 0601X RaisinCain, and WS Beefmaker. The available 3/4 Simmental bulls are: CCR Wide Range and GW-WBF Substance. The SimAngus bulls are: W/C United and GW Premium Beef. We will be glad to assist you in the mating selection. The price of this option is $500 and includes all expenses associated with development to a bred heifer ready to place in your herd in the spring. Price does not include delivery. Selection of this option must be made on November 8, 2014. Payment for the heifer as presented in the sale is due at the end of the sale, but payment for the option is not due until you take possession of the heifer. We guarantee the heifer to be pregnant at delivery or pick up, but do not extend the guarantee once you take possession. Should a heifer not conceive, we will offer you a full refund, but will retain the heifer and market appropriately. This is a great option to add value to your purchase. We do encourage you to purchase livestock insurance.

Quick Reference to ASA EPDs and $ Indexes Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs): EPDs are the most accurate and effective tool available for comparing genetic levels. In using EPDs, the difference between two sires’ EPDs represents the unit difference expected in the performance of their progeny. For example, if sires A and B have EPDs of +10 and –5, a 15-unit difference would be expected in their progeny (moving from -5 to +10 yields 15 units).

Key to using EPDs is knowing what units they are expressed in. For example, if the above case referred to weaning weight EPDs, A would be expected to sire 15-pounds more weaning weight than B. If calving ease were the trait, A would be expected to sire 15-percent more unassisted births in first-calf heifers; in other words, if B sired 30 assists in a group of 100 heifers, we’d expect A to require 15 assists. A percentile-ranking chart is required to determine where a bull’s EPDs rank him relative to other bulls in the breed. For percentile rankings or more detailed information about EPDs and $ indexes visit www.simmental.org. Listed below are the units ASA EPDs are expressed in: All-Purpose Index (API): Dollars per cow exposed under an all-purpose-sire scenario. (See below for more details.)

Back Fat (BF): Inches of backfat.

Birth Weight (BW): Pounds of birth weight.

Calving Ease (CE): Percent of unassisted births when used on heifers.

Carcass Weight (CW): Pounds of carcass weight.

Maternal Calving Ease (MCE): Percent of unassisted births in first-calving daughters.

Milk (MLK): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk.

Marbling (MRB): Marbling score.

Maternal Weaning Weight (MWW): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk and growth.

Ribeye Area (REA): Square inches of ribeye.

Warner-Bratzler Shear Force (WBSF): Pounds of force required to shear a steak.

Stayability (STAY): Percent of daughters remaining in the cowherd at 6 years of age.

Terminal Index (TI): Dollars per cow exposed under a terminal-sire scenario. (See below for more details.)

Weaning Weight (WW): Pounds of weaning weight.

Yearling Weight (YW): Pounds of yearling weight.

Yield Grade (YG): Yield grade score.

$ Indexes: Though EPDs allow for the comparison of genetic levels for many economically important traits, they only provide a piece of the economic puzzle. That’s where $ indexes come in. Through wellconceived, rigorous mathematical computation, $ indexes blend EPDs and economics to estimate an animal’s overall impact on your bottom line. The same technology that led to the dramatic progress in swine, poultry and dairy genetics over the last several decades was used to develop the following $ indexes: All-Purpose Index (API): Evaluates sires for 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.

Terminal Index (TI): Evaluates sire for use on mature Angus cows with all offspring put on feed and sold grade and yield.

Using API and TI: First, determine which index to use; if you’re keeping replacements use API, if not, TI. Then, just as with EPDs, zero in on the unit difference between bulls. (As described above, index units are in dollars per cow exposed.) The difference can be used to determine how much a bull is worth compared to another. Or, put another way, how much you can pay for one bull compared to another. For example, when buying an all-purpose-type sire, you can quickly figure a bull scoring +100 for API is worth an extra $6,000 over a +50 bull if both are exposed to 30 cows over 4 years ($50 diff. x 30 hd. x 4 yr. = $6,000). A percentile-ranking chart is required to determine where a bull’s index value ranks him relative to other bulls in the breed. For percentile rankings or more detailed information about EPDs and $ indexes visit www.simmental.org.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Any change of information other than in the catalog will be announced from the auction block and such announcements shall take precedence over printed material.

All statements made from the auction block or those made by the seller (in private treaty), must be documented by seller if requested by the buyer at time of sale.

TERMS: Terms of sale are cash unless satisfactory credit arrangements have been made with the seller previous to the sale of any animal so affected.

PURCHASER’S RISK: Each animal becomes the property of and therefore is also the risk of the purchaser as soon as it is sold; except it shall be the obligation of the seller to see that animals are fed and cared for free of charge to purchaser, until loaded for shipment or until the expiration of twenty-four (24) hours after the sale, whichever occurs first.

HEALTH REQUIREMENTS: 1. All cattle entered for sale must meet the health regulations of the state in which they are sold. All other agreements regarding the health of the animal will be between the buyer and seller and should be documented in writing.

2. If sale cattle are returned to the seller for an adjustment, they must meet the health requirements of the state they are returned to.

CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRY: Each animal, which is catalogued, offered and sold as a registered animal, shall have a certificate of registry available at time of sale. When an animal is sold as “eligible for registry” or “registry applied for”, the seller shall be responsible for obtaining the certificate of registry and for the proper transfer of the certificate to the purchaser including full payment of transfer fees.

IDENTIFICATION: Each animal, at time of sale, must have a readable tattoo or brand corresponding to that shown on the certificate of registration.

AUTHENTICITY OF PEDIGREE: When an animal, through parental validation, is determined to have an ancestry other than that reported on the registration certificate, the buyer shall be entitled to a refund of the purchase price from the seller upon return of the animal to the farm of the seller at the seller’s expense. The animal in question, at the buyer’s option, may be exchanged for another animal of equal value, or if agreeable with the buyer, the seller may have the certificate returned to the buyer. Any adjustment provided herein, if selected, shall absolve the seller from further liability for authenticity of pedigree to the buyer.

BREEDING GUARANTEES AND DEFINITIONS: 1. Females are guaranteed to be breeders, with the exception of: a) Female calves sold at side of dam b) Injury or disease occurring to the animal after time of sale c) Gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the purchaser d) Females used in ovum transplant after time of sale e) Cows sold with calf at side or a female that calves after sale to breeding prior to the date of sale 2.

Any guarantees with respect to the ability to freeze semen shall be made by separate agreement between buyer and seller.

4. Safe in calf females are females that have been diagnosed pregnant by a competent veterinarian, and are pregnant at time of sale.

5. A bred female is a female known to have been served by a bull either by natural breeding or artificial insemination, but it does not necessarily mean that the female is safe in calf to that service.

6. A pasture-bred female is a female that has been pastured with a designated bull and has been exposed for the time stated, but it does not necessarily mean that this female is safe in calf to that bull.

7. An open female is a non-pregnant animal.

8. Calves sold off their dams (split pairs) shall carry the full breeding guarantee.

PRIVILEGE OF PURCHASER TO EXAMINE: The purchaser of a female animal may have her examined within twenty-four (24) hours after the fall of the hammer and prior to removal from sale premises. The pregnancy status of breeding status of a female so examined, when found not to be as represented at the time of sale, is cause for the female to be returned to the seller as unsold.

EMBRYO TRANSFER: 1. Sellers should provide upon request a complete history of embryo transfer activity for any female offered for sale.

2. Withholding information on the existence of frozen embryos at the time of sale would be considered an unethical practice.

HORNED-SCURRED-POLLED DEFINITIONS: 1. HORNED: An animal with a horn growth affixed to the skull that has or has not been removed.

2. POLLED/SCURRED: An animal with rudimentary horn growth that will not develop into a horn. The rudimentary horn growth may or may not become affixed to the skull at an older age.

4. SMOOTH POLLED: A smooth-polled individual has no scurs and does not develop scurs later in life.

GUARANTEES: 1. If an animal is sold as polled or polled/scurred and proves to be horned, the seller shall be obligated to refund the purchase price upon return of the animal to the farm of the seller at the expense of the seller or may be exchanged for a polled animal of equal value whichever is acceptable to thebuyer. The buyer has thirty (30) days from date of sale to notify the seller that an adjustment is in order.

2. If an animal is sold as smooth-polled and proves to be scurred, the seller shall be obligated to refund the price upon return of the animal to the farm of the seller at the expense of the seller or at the buyer’s option shall be exchanged for a smooth-polled animal of equal value.

3. If an animal is sold as polled and develops scurs, the seller will not be obligated to make any adjustment as a scurred animal is considered polled.

4. If an animal is sold as polled and has scurs, it shall be so announced at the time of sale that the animal has scurs. If it is not announced and the buyer finds before the animal leaves the sale premises that the animal has scurs, the buyer must notify the seller of the findings. The seller shall then beobligated to refund the purchase price.

OPTIONS AND PRIVILEGES OF RETURN OR ADJUSTMENT: The following adjustments do not preclude the right of the buyer and seller to mutually agree upon other terms and conditions for settlement of any dispute.

1. All claims for adjustment or refund must be made in writing either six (6) months from the date of sale or no later than when the animal reaches 24 months of age whichever occurs later, with the exception of claims involving misrepresentation of service sire or as otherwise provided herein.

2. In the event an animal is claimed to be a non-breeder, the animal may be returned to the farm of the seller, at the buyer’s expense, if in good physical condition, and the return is in compliance with the health requirements of the seller’s state. The seller shall be entitled to a six (6) month trial period following the return of the animal in which to prove the animal is a breeder. If at the end of six (6) months the seller is unable to prove the animal is a breeder, the seller shall, at the option of buyer, replace the animal with another equal value or refund the purchase price. Either option shall be deemed full satisfaction and settlement.

3. If a female is sold as “safe in calf” to a given sire or sires on a specified date or dates and proves not to be as represented, the buyer is entitled to a refund of the purchase price from the seller upon return of the animal and resulting progeny thereof to the farm of the seller at the seller’s expense.

4. If a female is sold as “open” and proves to be with calf at time of sale and examined pregnant within sixty (60) days after sale, the buyer may return the animal to the farm of the seller prior to calving for a refund of the full purchase price or for another animal of equal value, whichever acceptable to the buyer. It shall be the obligation of the seller to bear any expenses incurred for transportation of the animal in question to the farm of the seller.

GENETIC TESTING AND TraitTrac STATUS: Sellers must identify the TraitTrac status and the results of any qualitative genetic testing performed on any animals or genetic material offered for sale. The ASA considers it an unethical practice to misrepresent or fail to disclose the TraitTrac status or qualitative genetic test results of any animal or genetic material.

DISCLOSURE OF MATERIAL INFORMATION: Sellers must disclose all material information concerning any animal or genetic material offered for sale. For the purposes of these Sale Terms and Conditions, “Material Information” is defined as any information which would be likely to affect the value of the animal or genetic material if the information were known to the public.

Material Information includes, but is not limited to, information related to genetic tests, blood tests, ultrasound pregnancy results, disease tests, pregnancy and fertility test results, information related to the sex and age of in utero calves or embryos, and information related to the fertilization status of in utero calves, including whether the calf was conceived via artificial insemination or natural service. The ASA considers it an unethical practice to misrepresent or fail to disclose any Material Information concerning an animal or genetic material offered for sale.

LIMITATIONS OF OBLIGATIONS: These sale terms and conditions constitute a binding legal obligation between the buyer and seller of any animal or genetic material sold under these terms and conditions. However, the ASA, its directors, officers, employees and agents do not assume any obligation, legal or otherwise, to enforce the sale terms and conditions agreed to between buyer and seller.
