SOME THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW...
1. INFORMATION: We strive to provide you with useful information to help you with bull selection. In addition to the data in this catalog, current weights and scrotal measurements will be available sale day. 2. CALVING EASE: Our cows and heifers generally calve without problems. We have assisted only 2 heifers in the last 3 years and one of those was a malpresentation. 3. PREWEANING: We started calving 2 to 3 weeks later last year so our bulls are younger than in previous years. To ease the stress of weaning and to ensure our bulls are ready to breed by sale time and we have introduced some creep prior to weaning. 4. RATIONS: Our bulls are started on a ration of silage and chopped alfalfa hay in a TMR (Total Mixed Ration). Mineral and Vitamin fortified 14% pellets are gradually added followed by some rolled barley to meet their energy requirements. A TMR and large pens for adequate exercise keep the bulls healthy and sound. 5. COWHERD: Our cows are not pampered! They graze on swaths and native grass through the winter until calving starts at the end of February. It makes sense to buy bulls from a cowherd that works for a living! 6. EPDs: We believe that EPDs are a useful tool to help evaluate certain traits in our cattle, BUT... Quality cattle are more important than the numbers used to describe them. 7. SALE ELIGIBILITY: Only the best of 150 bulls weaned sell. Each bull must meet our expectations before he earns a spot in the sale. 8. DISPOSITION: We continue to get compliments about the disposition of our bulls from everyone who works with them. We are a family operation and disposition is as important to us as it is to you. 9. GUARANTEE: Our goal is to provide you with quality bulls capable of getting your cows pregnant. If anything happens to the bull you purchase let us know right away! Our responsibility does not end after the sale! 10. CUSTOMER SERVICE: We offer free delivery within 200 miles or $75 off if you pick up your bull on sale day. If you have any questions, or concerns after the sale…Call us first, we want to help!

Welcome to the 13th annual Windy Willows & Guest
Bull & Female Sale
Once again the Windy Willows program has surpassed all expectations and milestones that have been set. A great set of bulls that are unique to not only past customers but also to the entire Angus Industry. Come and analyze some of the first Sitz Investment 660Z herdsire prospects – we are sure you will be impressed. The KG Focal Point 2013 calves are the most uniform sire group of Calving Ease bulls to be found. The Final Product sons have impressed many visitors. And the list goes on…… To make a point, it has become clear that herd bull battery searching should include the Windy Willows program. Once again these bulls on offer will have met the strongest culling process. As well they will be semen tested, checked for soundness and ultra sounded for carcass merit. Behind it all is a very functional cow herd who receive no extra management or pampering. The many years of selection and production goals has resulted in a breed leading program. This family owned and operated Angus farm are becoming better rounded as being driven by youths and that is what it is all about. Hillary has become very involved in Junior activities (CJAA) as well as curling. Good luck with these endeavours as one can see the support from the adult section. Wow! What a set of open heifers this year, highlighted by Focal Points and a Sitz Investment calf and others. It is always good to know, but the service that backs up their Windy Willows program is second to none. Collin, Michelle and Hillary extend their hospitality to all as do Garner, Lori, Kylie and Brian from Cedarlea Farms and their outstanding Charolais offering. Having been a part of the Windy Willows program we feel confident that we can visit with prospective buyers about any questions or help in making their selections. Call any of the staff or OBI for this service. Hope to see you at the sale, the trip is worth it.

Carcass Data In order to use body composition EPD’s or ultrasound data to its full potential, a breeder must have an understanding of the ultrasound terminology. Several of the ultrasound measurements are comparable to the familiar carcass measurements. The data is simply collected on yearling bulls and heifers instead of market ready steers. Take a step back from looking at the numbers and become comfortable with the terminology. ULTRASOUND CARCASS MEASUREMENTS Rib Fat/Backfat: An external fat measurement taken between the 12th and13th Reported in inches. Rib fat is the main trait that affects percent lean meat yield ie; A1, A2, A3, & A4. Percent lean meat yield is the calculation that estimates the percent of lean muscle on the carcass. For example, a lean meat yield of 60% on a 1000lb carcass would have 600lbs of lean muscle and 400lbs of bone and fat. Ribeye Area (REA): An area measurement of the loin or ribeye muscle. Reported in square inches. While an increase in backfat will lower the percent lean meat yield an increase in REA will raise the percent lean meat yield. Rump Fat: An external fat measurement taken from an image collected between the hooks and the pins of the animal. Reported in inches. The rump fat measurement, coupled with the rib fat measurement will increase the accuracy of percent lean meat yield. Intramuscular Fat (%IMF)/ Marbling: This measurement determines the amount of fat within the muscle. Reported in “%”, it is used to determine the quality grade of the carcass. As %IMF increases so does juiciness, flavor, and tenderness, all factors affecting eating quality.
REA & IMF (Marbling)
Rib Fat
Rump Fat
USING ULTRASOUND DATA TO SELECT BULLS 1. Fat levels, including marbling, will normally be higher in steers than in similarly fed bulls due to the lack of testosterone. 2. Carcass traits such as ribeye area (REA) and marbling (%IMF) are highly heritable, therefore using sires with high ultrasound scores for these traits will significantly improve carcass quality. 3. Significant premiums are being paid by packers for carcasses that meet high quality grade and yield grade standards. There are extra profits to be made! 4. Less backfat is not always better! Extremely low backfat bulls may sire steers with high yield grades, but they may be slow to finish. Their heifer counterparts may reach puberty later and have more difficulty milking, rebreeding and maintaining a short calving interval. On the other hand, overfat bulls may have reduced fertility. 5. Evaluate your cowherd, decide what kind of progeny you wish to produce and choose bulls with the ultrasound data to match your needs.

WHAT THE NUMBERS MEAN! Windy Willows Farms have been performance testing our herd on the Canadian Angus Performance Program (CAP) since its inception.. We use the information within our own herd and we pride ourselves in providing useful performance information to you so that you can use it to help select the bull or bulls that best suit your operation. We do understand, however, that all these numbers can be mind boggling. This page will try to make some sense of the performance information that is provided in this catalog so that you may use it more effectively. GROWTH TRAITS Birth Weight (BW) – the actual weight of the calf taken within 24 hours of birth, not a guess and not a taped estimate. Calving Ease (CE) – describes the type of birth. Codes used are: U – unassisted, E – easy pull, H – hard pull, M – malpresentation and S – surgical. Age of Dam (AOD) – age of dam at time of calving. Two year olds, 3 year olds and very old cows tend to have lighter calves at birth. Weaning Weight (WW) or (Adjusted 205 Day Wt) - the weight taken at weaning and adjusted to 205 days of age, also adjusted for the age of dam. Weaning Index or Adjusted 205 Day Index – a means of comparing an individual bull’s weaning weight to the average weaning weight of his group. Weaning weights and indexes are only comparable within the herd of origin, not between herds. Yearling Weight (YW) – the weight taken at end of test and adjusted to 365 days of age. Average Daily Gain (ADG) – the average daily gain while on 112 day gain test. The gain test begins after a 28 day adjustment period to allow bulls from the 4 different herds to adapt to a common environment at the feedlot. ADG Index – a means of comparing an individual bull’s ADG to the average of his group. It is expressed as a percentage of the group ADG. Weight Per Day of Age (WPDA) – the weight of a bull at end of test divided by his age in days. WPDA Index - a means of relating an individual bull’s WPDA to the average of his group. It is expressed as a percentage of the group WPDA. What is an EPD? (Expected Progeny Difference) – An EPD is a measure of differences in a trait that will be expected from progeny of different sires. EPDs are expressed in pounds plus (+) or minus (-) a zero standard. Why are EPDs valuable as a selection tool? – EPDs can be used to compare bulls in different herds within the same breed. They are based on an individual’s performance as well as that of his relatives and progeny. They factor out the management and environmental differences that may exist between herds. Accuracy (Acc) – the more information that is used to calculate an EPD, the more reliable it is. Accuracies are expressed as a number between 0 and 1. The closer the accuracy is to 1, the greater the probability that the EPD will not change with the addition of more information. BW EPD - the difference in birth weight you would expect between a bull’s calves and calves from a bull with a BW EPD of 0. It is a much more accurate indication of expected progeny birth weight than the bull’s own BW. All the Black bulls designated as Calving Ease in this catalog have BW EPDs of +3.0 or less. Black bulls designated as Calving Ease Elite have BW EPDs below +1.0. WW EPD – the difference in weaning weight you would expect between a bull’s calves and calves from a bull with a WW EPD of 0. Bulls with higher WW EPDs will sire heavier calves at weaning.
YW EPD – the difference in yearling weight you would expect between a bull’s calves and calves from a bull with a YW EPD of 0. Bulls with higher YW EPDs will sire heavier calves at yearling age. MILK EPD – the difference in weaning weight attributable to milking ability you would expect from a bull’s daughters’ progeny and progeny of daughters of a bull with a MILK EPD of 0. Bulls with higher MILK EPDs will sire daughters that will have heavier calves at weaning due to their milking ability. Average EPD - It is helpful to know the average EPD for all calves born in 2015. BW WW YW MILK 2015 Black average +2.2 +45 +80 +19 2015 Red average -0.1 +52 +78 +17 It is important to note that Black and Red EPDs cannot be directly compared. Percentile – a ranking of a bull within the population by percentage. It is helpful to know where a bull ranks in the population for a particular trait.
BULL WARRANTY We guarantee to provide you with a sound, fertile bull capable of servicing a reasonable number of cows. In the event that your bull is a non-satisfactory breeder the seller will not, under any circumstances, be responsible for more than the original selling price of any bull or female sold in the sale. The consignors will not provide replacement or credit for physical injury or mismanagement. Therefore we stress the importance of insurance on your bull. An insurance agent will be available on sale day. WINDY WILLOWS RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DRAW SEMEN FOR IN-HERD USE ON ANY BULL IN THE SALE, AT THE BUYER’S CONVENIENCE AND OUR EXPENSE.
Calving Ease & Calving Ease Elite Bulls In order to assist you in your selections, we have designated some of the bulls as Calving Ease or Calving Ease Elite based primarily on their BW EPD. Calving Ease: These bulls generally have BW EPDs below the breed average, +2.2 for Black bulls and 0 for Red bulls Calving Ease Elite: These bulls generally have BW EPDs below +1 for Black bulls and below -1 for Red bulls. Most of these bulls represent at least two generations of calving ease sires. These designations are general guidelines and only you can decide which bulls are appropriate for your situation.

Git ‘R Done Bull and Female Sale H
Michelle, Hillary & Collin
as anyone ever seen a winter like this? I certainly haven’t! What a treat to be able to graze so long into the fall and winter. It has saved a lot of valuable feed that for many was in short supply. Most of our cows grazed on oat swaths and native grass until late February. We couldn’t be more pleased with the set of bulls we are offering this year. They are highlighted by some unique pedigrees with the sons of Sitz Investment and CCC Merritt. They are big volume and big time performance bulls. The first sons of our Focal Point sire make their debut this year and they are real beef bulls with calving ease bred in. The Boomers were very popular last year and we have another set of equally impressive sons in this sale. Upper Cut carries on the Upward tradition here and we are sure you will like his sons too. Our Red Provincial bull has turned some heads with his siring ability and we will have full brothers to the top selling red bulls last year. The heifers we are offering are right off the top of each sire group and are headlined by WWF FP Erica 35C, the Focal Point daughter out of a full sister to Windy Willows Upload 30B purchased last year by SMW Angus and Bar CR Angus. We are very proud of this entire group of heifers and we are sure they will make top cows and be profitable additions to your herd. We feel very fortunate to once again be joining forces with Garner, Lori, BJ and Kylie as we host this sale. They are great people to work with and are committed to their customer’s success just as we are. If we can be of any assistance whatsoever please call us. Better yet, stop in for a visit anytime! Join us on Tuesday April 5. See you then! Collin, Michelle & Hillary

We believed we found him in KG Focal Point 2013 who came to us as the lead off bull in The KG Ranch bull sale at $17,000. His sire is the ABS bull, Focal Point 8100 and his dam is from the same family as the Genex calving ease sire, KG Solution 0018. Focal Point’s first calves validate the choice. We used him on our heifers with excellent results and his calves just got better and better as they got older. You will see that this sire group has exceptional thickness, are moderate framed, very masculine and have lots and lots of hair. His best daughter sells in this sale and she is special!
