River Creek Farms by Monti West Design

Welcome to our 27th Annual Sale. This past year brought changes here at River Creek. Kim and I welcomed a granddaughter, Madden, born to Abram and Dani. Bob and Mary’s daughter, Lisa, was married to Greg Berding on the farm this past summer. And our Mom passed away. She will be greatly missed. With markets correcting and competing meats increasing, good genetics will be more valuable than ever to your profitability and sustainability in the beef business. Our goal is to produce bulls that sire calves that give you the least amount of hassle and the most profit. Our “Built to Work” bulls are a result of a breeding philosophy we have been dedicated to for more than 40 years. It starts with the cow. Our cowherd is expected to calve unassisted and breed back on grass. No chasing fads just sound predictable cattle that work in the real world. If you agree with raising cattle like this, the bulls and heifers in this year’s sale will work in your herd. Depending on the makeup of your herd, we believe using our Purebred or SimAngus bulls allows you to take advantage of hybrid vigor with added pounds on your calves and the associated complementary traits of enhanced carcass qualities, cowherd longevity and productivity. After 40 years of selling bulls the three things we hear repeatedly are our bulls calve easy, they stay sound and their calves top the market. We believe in our bulls, we guarantee them for four years. All the bulls have Genomic -Enhanced EPDs. More details are in the catalog. We believe you should be able to sleep a little easier using our bulls with higher accuracy epds. The bulls are developed on a diet for a moderate gain of 3.5 and not to fatten them. Pens have long runs so the bulls get adequate exercise. The fall bulls run on pasture all summer with little supplementation, so their yearling weights will be lighter. This results in a bull that is ready to work when he arrives at your place and will stay sound longer. Bulls are cataloged by age and sire, so you will find bulls of consistent quality throughout the catalog. Again this year will be a group of open heifers selling. There are heifers from each of our sire groups to give you a good selection of females to add to your breeding program. Some are out of our ET program and could be donors themselves. As always, we appreciate you taking the time to look at this year’s offering. To our past customers, thank you for placing your trust and hard earned dollars in our stock. To potential customers, rest assured we will strive to give you the best possible product and service. We look forward to a long and productive relationship. If you would like to view the bulls at our operation prior to the sale, feel free to give us a call and stop by. We appreciate the opportunity to visit one on one with past and potential customers. If you have any questions, please feel free to call or email. Hope to see you on sale day,

BUILT TO WORK - WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Our â&#x20AC;&#x153;Built to Workâ&#x20AC;? bulls are a result of a breeding philosophy we have been dedicated to for more than 40 years. It starts with the cow. We believe that every cow should calve unassisted and breed back on grass. No chasing fads - just sound, predictable cattle that work in the real world. Add to that modern scientific tools, performance documentation and visual appraisal. The result is bulls that will produce a productive and profitable cowherd for our customer.

BULL DEVELOPMENT We believe that how a young bull is developed prior to sale is the key to his long term success. We strive to produce athletic, mobile bulls capable of traversing the harshest environments in the Midwest while remaining fertile and sound.

We put an emphasis on developing athletic bulls that are capable of lasting in your cowherd. Every bull has been developed and performance tested on a ration designed for 3.5 pounds per day gain. They are given access to large pens. This helps ensure adequate exercise and conditions the bulls for breeding with sound feet and legs. Note: The fall bulls were run on grass last summer without supplementation from May 1 to September 1.

4-YEAR GUARANTEE ON FEET & SEMEN All bulls sell with a four breeding season guarantee on feet and semen. If his semen or feet go bad, we will provide a credit for the breeding seasons left to complete. Credit issued will equal the purchase price minus salvage value. Credit reduces 25% of that value for each breeding season completed. Feet will be covered for unsoundness not caused by illness, foot rot or other bulls. A vet statement must be provided for semen test or soundness and with verification that the bull is in good health and condition.

RIVER CREEK CALVING EASE RANKING SYSTEM Bulls selling in this sale are the result of years of data being collected and analyzed to provide superior genetics for our customers so they can breed profitable cattle. Use our calving ease ranking system along with API and TI to select the best bull for your operation.

HEIFER BULL

H+

The easiest calving bulls. These bulls will work on Angus, Crossbred or Continental heifers. They can be used on any cow. Daughters sired by these bulls will make excellent replacements.

Will work on larger framed Angus, Crossbred or Continental heifers with supervision while calving. They can also be used on any cow. Daughters will make good replacements.

ALL PURPOSE BULL

USE API & TI EPDS TO INCREASE YOUR PROFITABILITY ALL PURPOSE INDEX API Use API to evaluate sires for use on the entire cow herd, with a portion of their daughters kept to maintain herd size and the remaining heifers and steers put on feed and sold by grade and yield.

TERMINAL INDEX TI Use TI to evaluate sires for use on Angus cows with all offspring put on feed and sold by grade and yield.

HOW TO USE API & TI Zero in on the unit difference between bulls. For example, when buying an all-purposetype sire, you can figure a bull scoring +180 for API is worth an extra $6,000 over a +130 bull if both are exposed to 30 cows over 4 years($50 diff. x 30 hd. x 4 yr. = $6,000).

RIVER CREEK FARMS 27th Annual Production Sale

WHY RIVER CREEK FARMS BULLS WILL MAXIMIZE YOUR ANGUS BASED COWHERD’S PROFIT Proven Calving Ease, Customer Validated for Over 40 Years Increase Weaning Weights with Hybrid Vigor Enhance Disposition, Carcass and Maternal Traits Maintain a Moderate Frame Size While Increasing Thickness Higher Profit Potential Based on Economically Relevant Traits - $API & $TI

THE POWER OF HETEROSIS

ON ANGUS BASED COWS

There is a reason every kernel of corn planted in this country is a hybrid. It’s the same reason every commercial market hog, chicken, turkey and even catfish are hybrids. The power of heterosis is enormous.

THE GOAL: PRODUCE FOR THE MARKET

According to Five Rivers Ranch Cattle Feeding, LLC (10 feedyards, 811,000 capacity), their first choice in feeders is the Angus Continental cross, 50% to 75% Angus and 25% to 50% Continental. This blend of Angus and Continental cattle creates a good feeding, good grading, good yielding animal that is usually the right size.

THE BONUS: THE CROSSBRED COW

In addition to heavier calves, research shows that producers who keep crossbred heifers as replacements will realize on average a 38% greater longevity and 25% increase in production.

HOW TO START

It’s simple. Use River Creek Farms Purebred bulls on Angus based cows to create SimAngus feeders and replacement females. Our bulls have generations of calving ease, performance in a moderate frame and maternal longevity bred in. Ideal for crossbreeding with the Angus based cow. Our customers that are doing this now report no calving problems, increased weaning weights and high buyer acceptance. The second option is to use River Creek Farms 3/4 or 1/2 SimAngus bulls on Angus crossbred cows to create a percentage feeder and replacement. By using this simple breeding plan, it sustains hybrid vigor and stabilizes your herd at the desired British/Continental mix for your environment and target market. With added bonus of higher semen output and the increased longevity of the hybrid bull.

RIVER CREEK FARMS 27th Annual Production Sale

TESTIMONIALS FROM VALUED CUSTOMERS “We took our big steers to auction yesterday. Got lots of comments about how good they looked. I had one person ask us why we switched from mostly Angus bulls to SimAngus. I said for the hybrid vigor, he then wanted to know why we use bulls from River Creek Farms, I said because they have good bulls and really stand behind them. Next question - what do you mean stand behind them? It is the only place I know that stands behind their bulls’ feet and semen for four years, not just one breeding season or 90 days. He couldn’t believe that you would do that. I said I know that they will because they have for us. Thanks for caring for your customers.” Dan Rosebrook, Rosebrook Farms - Lincoln, KS

“The bulls we have purchased from River Creek Farms have done well for us. Joe stands behind their bulls. I’ve only had one bull that had a problem. It took one phone call to Joe and he took care of it. It’s nice to deal with such an honest family as River Creek.” Bob Kechter - Vona, CO

River Creek Farms is a diversified family operation owned and operated by the Mertz families. River Creek Farms is a diversified family operation owned and operated by the Mertz families. The familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest in cattle began in 1891 with Sherman Mertz, who fed cattle and sheep in Wabaunsee County. His son, Harold A. Mertz, started his operation three miles west on the land that is now headquarters for the farm. Today, fourth generation Joe and Kim Mertz and Bob and Mary Mertz continue as operating partners. Joe manages the cowherd and Bob manages the crops. Mary and Kim provide all the administrative support required to the run the business. The farm headquarters is located approximately nine miles east of Manhattan along K18, in the Kaw Valley River bottom. Our main crops are corn and soybeans, with some wheat and alfalfa on leased and owned cropland. Most of this cropland is in the river valley with some upland ground. We do some irrigation with center pivots and flood irrigation. During the summer the cattle graze Bluestem pastures in the beautiful Flint Hills south of our farm and utilize the cornstalks in the fall and winter. Joe introduced Simmental to our Hereford cowherd by way of artificial insemination in 1970. Around the same time we became members of the American Simmental Association. Our breeding philosophy is the same today as it was 46 years ago. We have concentrated on producing cattle that will thrive under range conditions while focusing on the economically relevant traits for Calving Ease, Growth, Maternal and Carcass Value. Recently, we have used proven Angus sires to produce SimAngus to give our customers more breeding options.

In loving memory of a devoted mother and champion of agriculture. Leola “Jeanne” (Kueny) Mertz was born November 7, 1929, in Kansas City, Kansas, and grew up in the town of Oskaloosa. She passed away January 13, 2017, at her farm home east of Manhattan, Kansas. Jeanne was the daughter of Ted W. and Agnes J. (Pennington) Kueny. Jeanne met Harold D. Mertz while attending Kansas State University. They married June 18, 1950, and operated River Creek Farms in the Zeandale area. Jeanne was a strong advocate for agriculture throughout her life. She and Harold were named Master Farmer Master Homemaker in 1987 by Kansas State Research and Extension. Jeanne served as President of Kansas Agri-Women, and the national President for the American Agri-Women organization, also receiving the esteemed Leaven Award in 1982.

Jeanne Mertz

Jeanne was an idea person who valued the importance of service – a trait she instilled within her children and recognized by others. She was an excellent writer and editor. Her organizational skills were evidenced by the numerous projects she planned and executed within her community and in the agricultural industry.

Nov. 7, 1929 - Jan. 13, 2017

Many are familiar with Jeanne’s sign project – an idea she proposed in the late 70s. The grocery sack sign, featured on the Kansas Farmer-Stockman in 1980, continues to be a prominent fixture along Kansas highways. In 2015, Jeanne received the Distinguished Service to Agriculture Award from the Kansas State Grange for her initiation of the Kansas Agri-Women Grocery Sack Signs to promote farm commodities and produce. Those who knew Jeanne well would attest to her wittiness, her frankness, and her genuine interest in all that affected the people she loved. An avid reader, a book was always found on the table next to her chair. Jeanne’s dog, Lady, could also always be found beside her. Jeanne’s legacy is her family as it was first and foremost in her life. She had walls of family pictures throughout the home and dedicated many years to creating notebooks of family photographs and writing her memoirs. Jeanne’s words of advice to her grandchildren best exemplify her tenacity: Be your own person and stand up for what you believe; set some goals and do your best to accomplish them; and finally, don’t be afraid to try—not everything that is worthwhile comes easy.

Jeanne discussing the benefits of agriculture with Governor John Carlin (1977 to 1987)
