The Gold Bullion Group - 13th Annual Production Sale

Th e Brand for Integrity - Performance - Excellence

13th Annual Production Sale Saturday, February 28, 2015 1:00 PM

Kansas Bull Development Wamego, Kansas

The Brand for INTEGRITY - PERFORMANCE - EXCELLENCE Welcome to our thirteenth annual Gold Bullion Bull Production Sale! Our sale will still be held at Kansas Bull Development on the Onaga Road Northeast of Wamego, KS on Saturday, February 28. For the fourth year, we put a brand on the lower right quarter of our bulls of GB. However, we used the old philosophy “The quality goes in before the brand goes on�. This means that we culled some bulls at weaning, some on pedigree, some on performance at Kansas Bull Development, and some on disposition before the brand went on.

The auction format will have the bulls going through the sale ring. The bulls will be available for viewing on Friday afternoon on the 27th in the second farthest Southwest lot at KBD, and in group pens on sale day. The gold Bullion group consists of four of the original breeders: Brooks, Dikeman, Drake, and Schaake.

The weather was mild and dry until mid December when it rained a couple of inches, got extremely muddy, and then froze for several weeks. The bulls gained about what we had targeted on the high roughage ration over a 92 day test. The bulls were very healthy and they look great. Once again, we think we are offering a very good set of bulls. A video of the bulls will be uploaded to our website: www.goldbulliongroup.com We developed the catalog with the bulls listed in sale order to allow you to more easily keep track of the bulls and their corresponding data during the sale. In appreciation for recommending our sale to friends and neighbors, we are offering a $50 cash discount gift to customers whose new referrals purchase a bull. Please let us know if you qualify.

All bulls being sold passed a breeding soundness exam, tested negative for PI-BVD, and were vaccinated for Lepto-Vibrio.

All SimAngus bulls are non-carriers of Arthrogryposis (Curly Calf Syndrome) and non-carriers of Neuropathic Hydrocephalus (by pedigree or DNA tests). Ultrasound data for carcass traits are included in the catalog as well. Artificial insemination and embryo transfer have been used extensively by the breeders.

We are committed to Performance, Excellence, and Integrity. Strength in our collective numbers of years in breeding quality, performance cattle will bring strength to your numbers. Our group brings combined experiences from the show ring, the classroom, the feed yard, retail sales, and research.

Thank you for your interest in the Gold Bullion Bull sale. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday, February 28. Lunch will be complimentary.

The Value of Performance

Simmental and SimAngus bulls can easily add 30-50 lbs. to weaning weights in British based cowherds, and their progeny will perform well in the feed yard and on the rail if you retain ownership until harvest. In addition, females from Simmental and SimAngus sired calves would make great replacements, especially when the females are Simmental x British crosses.

Using current calf prices, a bull that sires an average of 25 calves per year for 4 years and adds 30 lbs. average weaning weight per calf at $275/100 lbs. would be worth at least $6,050 more than the price of a bull that adds no additional weight at weaning. You can do the math if they add more weaning weight than 30 lbs. and sell for a higher price than this example.

For producers who keep replacement females and retain ownership through the feedlot of all steers and heifers not kept for replacements, the ASA All Purpose Index (API) does a great job of identifying potential value differences among bulls. For example, a bull with an API of 130 would be worth $30 more per calf than a sire with an API of 100. Using these two example API values, if a bull produces 30 calves per year for 4 years, the value difference between these two bulls is $3,600!

Benefits of Crossbreeding

Capitalizing on ’heterosis’ by crossbreeding is a very valuable tool in beef cattle production. Probably the most significant and long term study of heterosis was conducted by the USDA Agricultural Research Service in Nebraska. That study showed that 80 crossbred cows producing crossbred calves are as economical in life cycle production as 100 straight bred cows raising straight bred calves! This 20% bonus in efficiency starts with the increased fertility of crossbred cows, which is followed by increased vigor and hardiness of the newborn calves.

Crossbred cows producing crossbred calves wean a higher percentage of calf crop and the calves are heavier. This carries over to increased performance of the calves in the feedlot.

Crossbred calves also usually sell for higher prices. In addition to all of these advantages, longevity of crossbred cows is also increased, which means that more heifers can be sold or finished in a feedlot rather than kept for replacements.

Using Gold Bullion Simmental and SimAngus bulls on Angus based cows or other British breeds to create Simmental crossbred feeder calves and replacements is a great way to capitalize on heterosis. SimAngus (Angus or Red Angus) crossbred calves and replacement females are second to none as either feeder calves or replacement females! Research at the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center shows that Simmental and Angus breeds rank first or second among Continental and British breeds, respectively, in nearly all traits studied.

Using SimAngus bulls (1/2 or 3/4) on SimAngus females capitalizes on approximately 85% of the heterosis obtained from a threebreed rotational crossbreeding program. This is also a very convenient system because a producer does not have to have different pastures for different breeds of bulls. This system also stabilizes a herd at approximately 50% Continental x 50% British breeding.

In addition, SimAngus bulls have an advantage in longevity.

Ultrasound Measurements Explained

Fat Thickness - measured at the 12th-13th rib and reported in inches. Most of the fat thickness measurements on these bulls are in a very desirable range; which means they have some fat cover, but are not fat.

Ultrasound Measurements Explained

Ribeye Area - measure at the 12th-13th rib and reported in square inches. REA is an important component of the USDA yield grade determinations of beef carcasses. Larger ribeyes result in more desirable yield grade numbers and a higher percent of the carcass as trimmed retail product. Yearling bulls should have at least 1.1 square inchest/100 lb. of live weight, and larger ribeye areas are generally more desirable. However, extremely large ribeyes (> 1.3 square inches/100 lb. of live weight) are not necessarily desirable. %Intramuscular Fat - percentage of Intramuscular Fat, (%IMF) measured in a longitudinal scan of the ribeye muscle from the 11th to the 13th rib. It is a measure of marbling, which is the primary factor that determines USDA quality grade of carcasses. %IMF values for yearling Simmental bulls generally fall in the range of 2.0 to 4.5%.

Yield Grade - EPDS for Yield Grade are calculated from ultrasound measurements. YG is the USDA grading system for determining % meat yield differences among carcasses. USDA yield grades are numbered 1-5, with 1 representing a very muscular, trim carcass with a high % meat yield; and a 5 representing a very fat, light-muscled carcass with a low % meat yield. Yield grades can be calculated to the nearest 10th, such as 2.5, 3.9, etc. The average range for Simmental sired progeny would be about 2.2-2.8.

EPDs - values above or below breed average

CE Calving Ease - % unassisted births from two-year

old heifers. Example: For a CE EPD of 15, one

would expect 10% more unassisted births than for a

bull with an EPD of 5.

Diamond D Simmentals was established in the Flint Hills near Manhattan, Kansas in 1968 By Calvin and Mary Louise Drake. Semen, imported from Canada, was used on Angus and Polled Hereford cows to enhance the polled gene. Artificial insemination has been used for 33 years. Easy-fleshing, polled, rapid-growing females that calve easily are selected as replacement heifers. EPDs are used in selection and carcass quality is stressed. Only AI sire having sound EPDs and correct structure are selected. Both red and black cows comprise the herd of about 40 head. This is one of the earliest Simmental herds established in America still in continuous operation. Calvin is a retired professor of Animal Science at Kansas State University and spent several years in the cattle feeding industry.

Calvin & Mary Louise, “Cochise”, Adryanna & Darren

The Schaake’s have been breeding Simmental cattle since 1974, after an introduction to the breed when Scott showed the Grand Champion steer (Simmental x Hereford) at the county fair. Artificially breeding our black cows to Simmental bulls gave us our start in black-factored Simmental genetics in 1975. In fact, many of our leading cow families trace back to “Chipper N726”, who defined the word “longevity” She remained a productive donor cow to the age of 20 years. Currently our program utilizes artificial insemination and embryo transfer. Selection pressure for calving ease, maternal influence, moderate growth, disposition and a manageable mature size has been stressed for several generations. Attention to structural correctness, fleshing ability and 25 marketing appeal has been a priority since day one.
