McBee Cattle Co 2023 Spring Selection Day

1952 - 2023

Ron was a steward of the land. He never knew a stranger. He was a mentor to many. He was a pioneer in developing and marketing Braunvieh cattle around the country. He has helped so many people grow their own personal herds it is impossible to count. He is loved by many and will be missed. Thank you to all for being a part of his life. Life is not measured by the breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away!

RON’S FINAL COMMENTS...

Welcome to our 20th Annual SELECTION DAY Sale catalog. In this book we still try to give you as much information we can on the cattle, how they are developed and culled and how our sale procedure works. We do not want anything left unanswered for you on how to make a purchase or how the cattle are handled so you can make the adaptation to your place as smooth as possible.

Our January 13, McBee Genetic Advantage Calf sale was another one for the books. Calves sorted well, looked good in the groups and brought top prices for our producers. Over 28,000 head marketed through our calf program and still growing. It looks like the market is pointing to be really good the next couple of years, making it a good time to be in the cow/calf business. The way we help sell our bull customers’ calves helps producers net more dollars in an up market as well as a down market. It will work all the time. Let us know if you have questions how to qualify to participate twice a year.

People ask a lot how we handle our cows. All of our cows, both registered and non-registered are handled as commercial cows. They are run 365 days a year on basically fescue grass, whether it be growing forage in the growing season or stockpiled forage in the winter. We do supplement with hay when necessary, especially to the wet cows. As of this writing, end of February, we have around 200 dry cows that have not had any hay this winter. We do not use any protein or grain supplement on the cowherd, just grass, some hay, mineral and salt. We do not routinely deworm our cows. Once in awhile we will spot deworm a cow that looks thinner or is older. We have 15 year old cows that have not been dewormed since they were bred heifers. It has all been part of the minimal imput program we implemented on whatever cattle we had some 40 years ago. Our supplementation starts on our calves at weaning where we background some to go with our customers’ production in our calf sales and to develop the bred heifers and bulls that we show you in two production sales yearly.

Cattle that have been bred and raised on fescue grass, with minimal imputs, are balanced and in gear to show their maximum genetic potential and go anywhere in the country and shine in their production. If they don’t, we want to know about it.

Grandkids...

We hope you can join us on April 15 and as always, if you have a conflict with the date, we would invite you to come anytime prior to the sale to view the cattle. There is a good chance that we can help you on the telephone sale day. Whether you are looking for a bull or bred heifer, just want to visit about cattle or just want to enjoy a McBeef lunch, we would like to have you.

SALE PROCEDURE.

See the Bid Procedure Outline on page 4. This sale format has been designed for you, the buyer. There is no pressure to make a quick decision as there is in a typical auction. This procedure allows you to have a soda, evaluate all the animals in the offering and then place bids on those animals that meet your buying specifications. Later you can return to the pens where you have placed bids on animals to see if anyone else has bid on those animals you want. We definitely do not want any confusion over the bidding and buying procedure. If you have questions or need help, don’t hesitate to ask.

BIDDING ASSISTANCE.

If you have any questions or need assistance in bidding, please let us know. We will have people available to assist you in any way possible. Although we would rather have you attend the sale, if you cannot make it on SELECTION DAY, feel free to call us and make arrangements to look the offering over prior to SELECTION DAY. There will be NO bulls or females sold from the offering prior to SELECTION DAY. However, feel certain that bids left with us, including Sight Unseen Bids, will be handled with the strictest confidence. All Sight Unseen purchases are fully guaranteed to the buyer’s complete satisfaction. If you don’t like the animal when you see it, you don’t own it. We can also help you place your bids over the phone between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm on SELECTION DAY. If you wish to bid over the phone, please contact either Evan Diehls (573) 999-0651 or Tara Cuppy (573) 263-1850 ahead of the sale.

BULL INFORMATION.

All bulls are grown and developed on a total mixed ration with hay. A ration of DDGs, corn and ground hay has been used since weaning. No more than 2 lb. of corn per day has been used during the winter. The bull ration is designed to allow the bulls to show their genetic potential for growth. These bulls are hard and will go out and breed cows without melting. We will have the bulls penned in small groups according to base price. The base price is determined

on each animal’s MGR (McBee Growth Ratio), REA ratio, IMF ratio and other additional value we feel the bull will contribute to a set of crossbred calves. If you need any other information on a bull to help you make a decision, don’t hesitate to ask. We want you to be completely comfortable on any bull that you bid on or purchase. A McBee Performance Certificate and a satisfactory BSE and semen test will be furnished on each bull. It is still recommended that each bull be semen checked closer to turn out time to avoid any potential disasters. Any bull that does not sell between 10:00 and 2:00 on SELECTION DAY, will be available to purchase by private treaty after the sale for the average of their base price group.

RETAINED INTEREST.

The truly great performance sires of any breed are often discovered later in life after proving themselves through their progeny. Mistakes are often made when trying to decide whether a bull is worthy of semen collection prior to having progeny. We obviously want to participate in the semen sales from McBee bulls that prove worthy, so we will retain a semen interest in each bull sold. On SELECTION DAY bulls, as well as private treaty bulls, we sell full possession, full salvage value and 1/2 semen interest for all bulls. This means the buyer has full control of the bull, however, McBee Cattle Company will be a 50% partner in any future semen sales. If you sell the bull to another producer or breeder, McBee Cattle Company’s semen interest will be retained. The buyer may purchase 100% semen marketing rights by paying twice the final sale price at the time of purchase. In the event 100% semen rights are purchased in this manner, McBee Cattle Company will retain the right to not more than 100 units of semen for within herd use only. In either instance, we are not retaining the right to collect a bull without the purchaser’s permission and at a time that is convenient for them. Realistically, we expect this to be exercised on only 1% to 2% of the bulls sold.

Please note the bulls in which we are only selling 1/2 possession interest. These bulls will be used naturally by both the buyer and McBee Cattle Company. The initial breeding season will be the choice of the buyer and McBee has the right to use him the other season for two years. After two years, the bull can stay in the buyer’s possession and be used naturally, solely by the buyer.

McBee will have the right to collect semen on the bull, at our expense, for our own use. Transportation, semen collection for sale and salvage value and any semen sold on the bull will be divided equally.

If distance or transportation is decided to be undesirable by the buyer, it can be arranged for the bull to stay with the buyer and McBee Cattle Company to use semen only.

FEMALE INFORMATION.

All McBee heifers are grown from weaning on a high fiber, low starch ration on grass. They are rigidly culled on how they perform on our fescue based pastures so those that make the cut will be able to adapt and perform in their new owners’ environment.

All bred heifers in the sale have been pregnancy examined two times. Once 70 days after the first breeding date and once close to sale day. They are guaranteed bred on sale day and up to 30 days after they leave. The new buyer is welcome to have the bred heifers pregnancy examined at their place within 30 days from the sale date. McBee Cattle Company cannot be responsible for open heifers after 30 days from purchase date or heifers calving later than their printed PREG DAYS in the sale catalog.

All of the females are offered to you after they have gone through several culling periods. We have no problem guaranteeing our heifers, FB, PB, HY or BU Influ, to make good cows.

So confident in fact, that we have implemented the McBee Female Milk Guarantee for all of the females we sell. Any female that you purchase from McBee Cattle Company is guaranteed to milk adequately to raise a calf well and to the buyer’s satisfaction. If you purchase a female that does not milk to satisfy you, you contact us and agree to return the heifer or sell her. A credit will be issued to you for the difference of salvage value and the purchase price as a credit towards another purchase.

The heifers will be priced individually and penned according to category and price. Any females that have an * in front of their numbers are being sold as non-recorded females only. All other females will be sold with a McBee Performance Certificate furnished to the new buyer.

HEALTH.

Health papers, if necessary, will be provided for the animals to go anywhere in the continental U.S. Necessary TB testing and Trich testing will be performed after the sale, if required. All animals have had proper vaccinations for Blackleg, IBR, PI3, BVD, BRSV, Lepto and Vibrio. All animals have been dewormed within 60 days of the sale.

McBEE 1st BREEDING SEASON GUARANTEE.

We guarantee that all breeding cattle we sell are fertile to the best of our knowledge. If a bull is injured at any time during the first breeding season following the sale, that being defined as 90 days after the first turnout of the bull, so as to make them functionally infertile or unable to breed, we will provide you with a satisfactory replacement (if available), or issue you a credit equal to the bull’s purchase price minus the salvage value received for that bull. All bred heifers carry their own breeding guarantee. Any injured bull needs to be examined and certified by a veterinarian. All credit is good until it is used and does not expire. We would simply ask you to contact us before you cull your infertile or injured animal. This is not a life insurance policy, however. We cannot replace a dead bull or heifer or one that becomes incapacitated resulting from negligence.

PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATES & REGISTRATION PAPERS.

Every Fullblood and Purebred bull and female is out of registered parents and are eligible for registration and transfer with the Braunvieh Association of America unless they have an * in front of their number. All eligible animals, Fullblood, Purebred and McBEEF BUILDER Hybrids will be sold with a McBee Performance Certificate (MPC) furnished to the new buyer at no cost. The MPC has all the necessary performance information on that animal. If

requested, a BAA registration paper will be transferred at no cost to the buyer on all eligible Fullblood and Purebred bulls and females. BAA registration papers can be provided on eligible McBEEF BUILDER Hybrid cattle, at an additional cost to the buyer, if requested.

McBEE SELECTION DAY BID PROCEDURE.

1. Register at desk and receive a Buyer’s Number

2. When you want to bid on an animal, put your Buyer Number on the line across from your $ bid on the bid sheet provided on each animal.

3. The first bidder on each animal can make his bid at the base price that is preprinted on each bid sheet.

4. You can record your bid on the bid sheets at any time and as many times as you want between 10 am to 2 pm.

5. On bulls, bids will be taken in $50 increments until the bidding on pens are closed about 2 pm. On heifers, bids will be taken in $25 increments until the bidding on pens are closed.

6. We will begin closing the bidding on the bull pens starting around 2 pm with Pen 1. Subsequent pens will be closed as we move sequentially through the offering. Any buyers and only those buyers that have bid on an animal in that pen before closing, can then participate in the bid-off after the pen has closed. If needed, additional time will be taken to raise the bid at $100 increments for bulls and $50 increments for heifers. When the bidding stops, the high bidder on each animal is the new owner.

7. After the sales are completed in Pen 1, bidding will close on Pen 2 and the procedure will be repeated. This should allow you to select another animal if you don’t get your first choice.

8. If you were a bidder in any pen, but were not a successful buyer, you may place a bid on an animal in one of the other pens below that before the bidding closes on those. As mentioned above, we will move in numerical order until all bull pens are closed and then the same procedure will apply to the female pens.

9. When the bid sheet on a pen is removed and sent to the clerk’s table, you may settle up for your purchase with the clerk and be ready to load out as soon as an alleyway is cleared.

10. Both Buyer Number and $ Bid must be on corresponding lines on the bid sheet to be counted as a bid.

RATIOS VS. ACTUALS.

The reason we use ratios and EPD’s on our bulls is because we feel these are the best available indicators of genetic merit. Actual weights and some other actual performance measurements can tell more about management than genetic value. We have listed actual birth weights because we feel they have some importance as to the size and type of cow the bulls need to be used on. In our program, we have tried to keep birth weights at a moderate level while continuing to improve the growth of our cattle.

We have included as many measures as we believe best describes the genetic differences in our offering. The bulls have been ratioed in two contemporary groups: Purebreds and McBEEF BUILDER HYBRIDS. Obviously, when you ratio a group, half of the group are below the average of the group and half are above the average of the group. We think it more accurately rewards the better half in a larger group than a smaller one. None of our contemporary groups are very big, so some with below average ratios are still pretty good bulls. Please ask if you need other measures or additional information to help you make your selection.

REFERENCE Sires

We have listed most of the sires that have a big influence on the genetic base of this offering. Most of the Braunvieh and McBeef Builder Hybrid bulls that we use in our breeding program today, in fact, 85% of them we produced and offered through our SELECTION DAY sales since 2004. Some 1/2 interest bulls have sired calves both in our herd and our customers’. Other bulls that were not selected sale day have been retained in our program and we are now offering their offspring to you after they have gone through our rigid development and culling program, just like their sires did. We think this is proof that the way we measure and select bulls to offer you is working. We also think that they have to be good enough for us to use in our program for us to want to offer them to you. We use what we sell...

BRAUNVIEHProgram

Being involved in the beef business in one way or another all of our lives, we have had experience with two other purebred breeds, commercial cow/calf production, fed cattle in the feedlots and backgrounding stocker cattle for ourselves and others. We have had experience since 1982 with cell grazing, and our operation now consists of 2750 acres of fescue based pasture in over 230 paddocks with 8 miles of underground waterline and 80 tire water tanks. All of this to manage 600 cows and to develop 200 heifers and around 120 bulls every year. Our registered and commercial cattle are all handled and culled the same way. The McBee program is based on a balanced approach to genetic selection, not chasing maximum production for a single trait. Our cattle are measured and ratioed in contemporary groups for genetic progress, instead of actual weights and measures to see how good of a feeding job we do.

We have never been accused of not thinking outside the box and for all of these reasons, in 1992 we selected Braunvieh to advance our beef production program. Most breeds of cattle give us the benefit of either/or, either maternal performance with good females OR feedlot/carcass quality with above average cutability. Braunvieh cattle have proven themselves to offer the best of both worlds. They have unmatched female performance (from halfbloods to fullbloods); the best cows we have ever had. Unchallenged feedlot and carcass quality has been proven time and time again. For those that are still selling pounds, Braunvieh bulls have shown unequalled total pound of calf per cow exposed.

From the very beginning of our Braunvieh program, we knew we had the right cattle. We were also aware that the marketing process, through traditional marketing channels, would pose a challenge to maximize dollars for our calves as well as our customers’ calves. Thus, the McBee Calf Roundup was born in 1992 and we began grouping and marketing our customers’ production in truck load lots, regardless of color. In 2010, we introduced the McBee Genetic Advantage Program (MGAP), a genetic source verified program to continue to increase the potential for additional dollars to our customers’ bottom line.

Of all the cattle that we have experienced over the years, Braunvieh is the breed with the fewest faults and the one that is poised to help producers maximize their hybrid vigor on their black commercial cows. With our many Customer Service programs, there leaves you very little reason not to try a Braunvieh bull or female. We are continuing to look for ways to help our customers maximize profit.

McBEEF BUILDER Hybrid Bulls

Crossbreeding has long been proven that it will make commercial cow/calf operations more efficient and thereby more profitable. By crossing two pure breeds, making an F1 hybrid, an additive effect takes place to increase weaning weights by 10 to 15%. There are also other benefits that add to the bottom line including cow longevity, breed back ability and total pounds of calf weaned per cow.

Although there are definite, measureable benefits to the 3 way terminal cross system (making F1 females and breeding them to a bull of a 3rd breed) the planning and implementing of this program can be very difficult and cumbersome for the cow/calf operation. How many management groups you have to have and which breed of bull to put in what pasture with which cows to keep the 3 way cross going are just a few of the decisions that have to be made.

There is a much simpler way. Documented research shows the use of two hybrid animals in a breeding program producing 2nd generation F1 calves (called F2’s in our program) to be similar in maintaining the same level of hybrid vigor as 1st generation F1 calves. This simply means that using Hybrid bulls on a set of crossbred or hybrid cows will generally produce as much hybrid vigor as the crossing of two straight bred animals without the complications of a 3 breed rotation system.

Since 2002, we at McBee Cattle Company have been producing a Braunvieh/Angus Hybrid animal to help our commercial customers simplify their breeding and production programs. Called the McBEEF BUILDER Hybrid, they are made from our best Purebred and Fullblood Braunvieh cows mated to some of the best Angus genetics we can find that fit our specs, through both natural breeding and artificial insemination. In fact, we have some Purebred cows in the herd that have produced the top indexing bull in the Purebred group one year and the top McBEEF BUILDER Hybrid bull the next year. In our Hybrid program, we feel it is important to continue to make our cattle more uniform and consistent in the good traits. From our experience so far, we think we are on the right track by using our best F1 bulls on our F1 females to make 2nd generation F1 hybrids ( we call F2’s). We are now getting more 3rd generation hybrid calves to compare and they are certainly uniform and consistent enough to make us want to continue.

PUREBREDHeifers

We strive to offer you some top Purebred bred females. Most of the heifers are direct offspring of bulls and cows that we are using to improve and grow our polled Purebred herd. Our continuing effort to use our base Fullblood and Purebred genetics mated to sons and grandsons of Basic Beef 11L sure seems to be putting the right kind on the ground. Look at these heifers and let us know if you have any questions. See our McBee Female Milk Guarantee on page 4.

McBEE GENETIC ADVANTAGE PROGRAM Calf Roundup

The McBee Genetic Advantage Program is a genetic source program designed to add more value to calves that are of McBee influenced genetics. This program is designed to help McBee customers maximize their return on their investment in McBee seedstock. We have seen since the inception of our Calf Roundup program in 1992, that grouping calves that are consistent in their make-up and produced from similar genetics into larger groups to merchandise to buyers adds value over and above marketing them the traditional way.

We have been grouping and marketing our customers’ calves since 1992 in an effort to help maximize our bull customers’ profit. After marketing our customers’ calves by private treaty, two times per year for 21 years we moved the sale of our calves to the Missouri Valley Commission Company in January 2013. After seeing a renewed interest in our calves and the ability to take advantage of a more competitive bidding atmosphere at a livestock market, in August of 2020, we moved our sale to the Eastern Missouri Commission Company in Bowling Green, Mo.

The ability to market hundreds of calves, owned by multiple customers from several states, is a customer service that we are proud to offer. Selling in volume is not rocket science. The power of selling in volume allows our customers to eliminate a lot of the discounts that they have experienced through traditional marketing channels. By sorting and grouping the calves into groups by weight and sex, we are able to offer load lots of calves to multiple buyers that have been consistently bred, handled and vaccinated.

The McBee Genetic Advantage Program Calf Roundup Sale has always been a grouping and marketing program for our customers of pre-conditioned, Vac 45 calves. It gives our customers an alternative way to sell their production.

PARTICIPATION GUIDELINES

1. Customers qualify to participate in the MGAP/ McBee Calf Roundup program with the purchase of a McBee Cattle Company Braunvieh or Hybrid bull.

2. Eligible cattle must be sired by a McBee bull or out of a female purchased from McBee Cattle Company.

3. After a producer qualifies by purchasing a McBee bull, he is allowed to bring one calf crop to the Roundup that are not all sired by a McBee bull. After this one exception, all calves to be grouped and sold through the MGAP program by this customer, must be sired by a McBee bull or out of a female purchased from McBee Cattle Company.

4. All calves that are brought to the program will be Vac 45, including castrated, dehorned, and bunk broke and weaned for a minimum of 45 days. Everyone in the program uses the same brand of vaccine and furnishes a Verification form that it has been done.

5. Participants must furnish an email address to receive dates and information on the Roundup days. If they do not have an email address, the participant is responsible for checking with McBee Cattle Company for updates.

6. All cattle enrolled must be owned by the producer participant.

HEAD MARKETED THROUGH THE PROGRAM FOR OUR CUSTOMERS

The quality of our MCBEEF BUILDER Hybrid bred heifer offerings continues to get deeper as we are able to offer more F1, F2 and F3 heifers for your inspection. All these heifers were synchronized and either AI bred or NA bred the first time. We only breed on natural heats so the heifers that do not show a 1st service, were simply ones that we did not catch in heat the first time. The McBee Braunvieh Influence heifers come from our commercial herd of mostly crossbred black cows mated to a multiple sire group (MSP) of PB 304W polled sons. They will make the same top producing cows as the Hybrid heifers, just don’t have documented parents. All the bulls used on both these heifer groups were F1, F2 or F3 McBEEF BUILDER Hybrid bulls. All the heifers have been ultrasounded for days pregnant on sale day. 80% should calve in a 20 day window starting on February 20 2023 to bulls that we have experience on heifers with or have the right numbers to use on heifers. Some of our “heifer” bulls have shorter gestations so start watching heifers early. We guarantee the heifers are bred when they leave the ranch and up to 30 days following. The calves will all qualify for the January 2024 MGAP Calf Sale. See our McBee Female Milk Guarantee on page 4.

Notes

McBEE BULL

Philosophy Philosophy

There are close to 300 bull calves born at McBee Cattle Company every year. After growing, developing, measuring and ratioing 100 to 120 of them, then and only then do we market 70 to 80 of them as breeding bulls to our customers and are proud to help some of them market their calves from these bulls.

The extra 20 to 40 of them that don’t measure up, get culled. That is around 25% of our bull crop that get used as breeding bulls.

Not every boy calf should grow up to be a bull.
