30TH ANNUAL

March 16, 2013 – 1:00pm AT THE RANCH, LAKE CITY, SD

PCCI, the prefix you have come to trust for your source of calving-ease, high-growth bulls!

Dear Fellow Cattlemen,

What a year 2012 turned out to be for those of us who live in the northeast corner of South Dakota!

Ideal calving and plating weather, everything seemed to be falling into place. Then the summer turned dry and we wondered if we would have a crop, enough hay and even grass to make it last. As it turned out, the crops were some of the best of all time, and the prices were excellent and still are. Yes, pastures got a little short, but all in all, it was good. We can only hope and pray that 2013 blesses again throughout the seasons.

It may seem odd that we talk about crops in a bull sale catalog, yet there are a numerous similarities. We all know that in order to raise the most bushels, we need the best and newest genetics available. We need to put forth all the best tools and ingredients to do that. Cattle breeding is exactly the same. One must keep abreast of new technologies, like DNA and Geneotyping, a subject that requires more space and knowledge than the writer of this message has!

We at Pearson Cattle Company are constantly on the search for new genetics or combinations of genetics, just like crop genetics, that can improve the overall quality of our product,

increase the consistency of same, and yield a profitable return on investment for us and our valued customers.

With cattle numbers being the lowest since 1949, the times are right for our industry to be the most profitable it has ever been. We believe that the genetic profiles of the bulls in this sale can help “our customers” do that. Cattle breeding, like crop breeding, is always evolving. We cannot afford to single trait select, but like Frank Padilla, our director of breed promotion and marketing at the AGA said,“We must do all things possible to stay between the guardrails of the road we are going down”.

Trials and research projects have proven time and again the economic benefits of crossbreeding. The most important benefit of crossbreeding is the cow side. We know and have proven it to ourselves that the Gelbvieh cow is the most efficient and profitable of all crosses and can be mated to any breed, and the results will be favorable.

Thank you for evaluating this offering and as always, let us know if we can assist you in any way. We look forward to seeing you at the sale.

(Left: Apache Warrior sire of 0125X) 0125X used cleanup on some of the AI cows. He was a top performing bull from the 2011 sale. His maternal genetics are solid and a Tomahawk son from 4162P was the top selling bull that same year to Thorstenson Gelbvieh. His cattle have an awesome look with soundness of structure and body dimension.

This bull was purchased to use on the In Focus 4 daughters. If In Focus 4 has one fault it would be the front ends on his progeny. Thus 001X came into play and the results have been fabulous.

His offspring will be high percentage Angus or Angus Hybrids if you prefer. Analyze this sire group all out of first calf heifers.

His strongest asset is his daughters who resemble their grandmother 004 who was purchased for $65,000 in Connealy’s sale. As a sire group they were our highest indexing group of all sires. A true curve bender.

We selected Wanamaker 77W because he was a powerfully constructed, big ribbed, well balanced bull with the extra capacity so important in the industry today. His pedigree is packed with Maine-Anjou herd sires like Smokin Joe, Ali, and Doctor Who and donor females like Mercedes 701P, Pinnacle 4J, and Countess 115H. Wanamaker had a successful show career and was the 2010 Maine-Anjou Show bull of the year. He is much more than just a show bull, his sons and daughters have the frame rib and muscle to work in today’s beef industry.

This bull has a killer look, along with the natural thickness and performance so valued in today’s industry. This bull is one of the soundest, square hipped, correct made bulls we have owned. Sired by the 2008 Maine-Anjou show bull of the Year, Premium Blend 47S, a powerfully constructed performance bull.

We are confident that the Mad Money cattle will not only add thickness and pounds, but will pass on his eye appeal to a set of feeder cattle.

This will be the most son’s of In Focus 4 we have offered for sale. Not because the rest weren’t good enough, we simply don’t get many bull calves. He consistently sires 2 to 1 heifers to bulls. For us that is excellent because his daughters are fantastic females, both phenotypically and maternally. 2061z is a top weaning bull that is moderate sized, deep bodied with plenty of muscle. These kind make cows and keep you in business.

If you’re looking for a bull that can produce some heavy weaning calves then your look is over. Study this bull’s makeup and you will appreciate his added length, smoothness and muscle shape. These 50GV 50MA bulls have a unique look about them. They don’t look like Gelbvieh and they don’t look like Maines.

Maybe we should call them powered up hybrids.

Not only does he calve easy but they also grow, are excellent footed, long sided with the muscle shape that adds pounds. 2110Z is moderate, small headed with added dimension that should work on heifers.

2126z is cool fronted with plenty of body and muscle shape. Along with that, he combines a balance number proof and a high marbling EPD. He has that herd bull look about him and knows it.

His mother is an awesome female.

His legacy will remain with his daughters. Year after year his sons were some of the best. A calving ease bull we used on heifers until his mature size warranted a change to the cowherd.

Like most of his sons, 2127z fits the same mold. They are sound structured, well muscled, eye appealing cattle that perform.

I have never seen a buyer in the sale barn look at EPD’s or data on a set of feeder cattle but they always pay top dollar for a fancy set of calves. This bull is just the ticket to sire calves with that kind of market appeal.

He is a heavy muscled bull with a tremendous top, his half brother last year scanned a 19.1 ribeye at 11 months of age. The top side of his pedigree contains the best in the Maine breed for proven, dependable genetics.

Highly recommend this bull for any set of cows and keep the daughters.

The daughters of 2314M we have are excellent cows.

An attractive Wanamaker son from a very moderate framed half blood daughter of Ty with probably the neatest udder you could put on a cow.

You will appreciate this bulls square hip and total volume of muscle.

Will work really well on a set of Gelbvieh percentage cows. These calves will explode in the feedlot from a performance standpoint.

One of two full brother’s sired by the time proven bull Ali that we purchased as embryos from Bushy Park Farms. 2086 is long fronted, big topped and hipped with excellent growth. If not for having a lot of the same genetics in the cow herd these bulls would have been kept for our own use. They are the kind that will sire high growth, excellent females and cattle that will feed and do well on the rail.

The other Ali ET bull. These bulls are identical to the point you would think they were clones. One needs to buy them both for the uniformity they will produce in their calf crop.

New Generation AGA EPDs The American Gelbvieh Association’s (AGA) January 2013 EPDs are based on a new collaborative national cattle evaluation (NCE) with the American Simmental Association (ASA). Below is a summary of some of the enhancements to the AGA new generation EPDs, followed by trait averages and percentile charts.

Multi-Breed EPDs Provide More Complete Balancer EPDs The true multi-breed EPD NCE conducted by the ASA enables the inclusion of more progeny data from Red Angus and Angus sires, especially for the carcass traits.

Growth Traits are More Reliable

Gelbvieh and Balancer® Share a Common Base with Simmental and Red Angus

The new EPDs for weaning weight (WW), yearling weight (YW) and carass weight (CW) are more reliable because the new statistical process accepts a wider age window for weaning weight. This is especially beneficial for breeders that wean calves early due to drought. Historically, weights from early-weaned calves were not included in the NCE.

Gelbvieh and Balancer EPDs are now on the same base with Simmental and Red Angus, which means that EPDs for each trait (except stayability) are directly comparable to ASA and Red Angus Association of America (RAAA) EPDs. This was a huge, progressive decision by the AGA Board of Directors, made to simplify bull selection for commercial producers.

PCCI, the prefix you have come to trust for your source of calving-ease, high-growth bulls!

Dear Fellow Cattlemen,

What a year 2012 turned out to be for those of us who live in the northeast corner of South Dakota!

Ideal calving and plating weather, everything seemed to be falling into place. Then the summer turned dry and we wondered if we would have a crop, enough hay and even grass to make it last. As it turned out, the crops were some of the best of all time, and the prices were excellent and still are. Yes, pastures got a little short, but all in all, it was good. We can only hope and pray that 2013 blesses again throughout the seasons.

It may seem odd that we talk about crops in a bull sale catalog, yet there are a numerous similarities. We all know that in order to raise the most bushels, we need the best and newest genetics available. We need to put forth all the best tools and ingredients to do that. Cattle breeding is exactly the same. One must keep abreast of new technologies, like DNA and Geneotyping, a subject that requires more space and knowledge than the writer of this message has!

We at Pearson Cattle Company are constantly on the search for new genetics or combinations of genetics, just like crop genetics, that can improve the overall quality of our product,

increase the consistency of same, and yield a profitable return on investment for us and our valued customers.

With cattle numbers being the lowest since 1949, the times are right for our industry to be the most profitable it has ever been. We believe that the genetic profiles of the bulls in this sale can help “our customers” do that. Cattle breeding, like crop breeding, is always evolving. We cannot afford to single trait select, but like Frank Padilla, our director of breed promotion and marketing at the AGA said,“We must do all things possible to stay between the guardrails of the road we are going down”.

Trials and research projects have proven time and again the economic benefits of crossbreeding. The most important benefit of crossbreeding is the cow side. We know and have proven it to ourselves that the Gelbvieh cow is the most efficient and profitable of all crosses and can be mated to any breed, and the results will be favorable.

Thank you for evaluating this offering and as always, let us know if we can assist you in any way. We look forward to seeing you at the sale.

TERMS: Offering sells under the Standard Terms and Conditions of the American Gelbvieh Association.

Pearson Cattle Company, Inc. is not liable for accidents or injuries on sale day.

THE

PEARSON’S

Carcass Traits are Standardized In recent years, Gelbvieh and Balancer carcass traits were adjusted to a fat end-point instead of an age endpoint like the rest of the industry. AGA’s transition to age-adjusted carcass EPDs will eliminate the gaps in the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center’s carcass EPD breed comparisons. This change also means that the days-tofinish (DtF) EPD is replaced by a fat (FT) EPD. A yield grade (YG) EPD is also new. For both FT and YG, lower EPDs are typically more favorable.

For questions or more information contact the AGA at 303-465-2333 or visit www.gelbvieh.org.

Calving Ease and Calving Ease Daughters EPDs Converted to Industry Standard Terminology For over 25 years, the AGA calving ease (CE) and calving ease daughter (CED) EPDs were reported in the form of a ratio. They are now reflected as percentages. Higher CE values equal more unassisted births from sires when mated to first-calf heifers. Higher CED EPDs indicate less calving difficulty from a sire’s own first-calf daughters.
