Welcome: Welcome to our 2018 sale. We appreciate your interest over the years.

You are welcome to visit the ranch and view the bulls before the sale.

We can discuss what you are looking for and pick out bulls that will work for you. Red, black, percentage to purebred, there are many options to choose from.

As in the past, Schnabel simmental will have bulls in the sale.

Our programs are very similar. For information on Tom's bulls, call (605) 577-6286 or cell (605) 380-2811. We are only 7 miles apart, so you can see all the bulls in one trip.

The bulls are on the same ration as in past years. Schnabel's feed a little differently than we do, so there will be differences in gain and yearling weights.

Supplement sheets with scrotal measurements, rate of gain, yearling weight, homo polled & homo black tests will be available in midFebruary and at sale.

We look forward to visiting with you about the offering beforehand or at the sale.

Thanks,

Bruce Schnabels will be retaining 1/4 semen interst in all their bulls. For more info about this, call Tom at (605) 380-2811.

Feeding Bulls will be fed free of charge till March 15th. After that there will be a $2.50/day/head charge.

BULL BUYER’S QUICK GUIDE to ASA EPDs and $ Indexes Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs): EPDs are the most accurate and effective tool available for comparing genetic levels. In using EPDs, the difference between two sires’ EPDs represents the unit difference expected in the performance of their progeny. For example, if sires A and B have EPDs of +10 and -5, a 15-unit difference would be expected in their progeny (moving from -5 to +10 yields 15 units). Key to using EPDs is knowing what units they are expressed in. For example, if the above case referred to weaning weight EPDs, A would be expected to sire 15-percent more unassisted births in first-calf heifers; in other words, if B sired 30 assists in a group of 100 heifers, we’d expect A to require 15 assists.

A percentile-ranking chart is required to determine where a bull’s EPDs rank him relative to other bulls in the breed. For percentile rankings or more detailed information about EPDs and $ indexes visit www.simmental.org. $ Indexes: Though EPDs allow for the comparison of genetic levels for many economically important traits, they only provide a piece of the economic puzzle. That’s where $ indexes come in. Through well-conceived, rigorous mathematical computation,$ indexes blend EPDs and economics to estimate an animal’s overall impact on your bottom line. The same technology that led to the dramatic progress in swine, poultry and dairy genetics over the last several decades was used to develop the following $ indexes: All-Purpose Index (API): Evaluates sires for use on the entire cow herd (bred to both Angus first-calf heifers and mature cows) with the portion of their daughters required to maintain herd size retained and the remaining heifers and steers put on feed and sold grade and yield.

Terminal Index (TI): Evaluates sire for use on mature Angus cows with all offspring put on feed and sold grade and yield.

Using API and TI: First, determine which index to use; if you’re keeping replacements use API, if not, TI. Then just as with EPDs, zero in on the unit difference between bulls. (As described above, index units are in dollars per cow exposed.) The difference can be used to determine how much a bull is worth compared to another. Or, put another way, how much you can pay for one bull compared to another. For example, when buying an all-purpose-type sire, you can quickly figure a bull scoring +100 for API is worth an extra $6,000 over a $50 bull if both are exposed to 30 cows over 4 years ($50 diff. x 30 hd. x 4 yr. = $6,000). A percentile-ranking chart is required to determine where a bull’s index value ranks him relative to other bulls in the breed. For percentile rankings or more detailed information about EPDs and $ indexes visit www.simmental.org.

Suggested Guidelines for using Yearling Bulls

1. Upon the delivery to your ranch, keep yearling bulls separate from older bulls and feed them a maintenance ration of 5-8 lbs. per head of grain and free choice hay.

Reduce the amount of grain fed gradually, so that bulls are on straight hay or grass 2-4 weeks prior to the breeding season.

2. Where possible, try to limit the bulls to 45-60 days of pasture service the first year. At this time or as soon as possible remove the bulls and put them in separate pastures with plenty of good quality grass.

3. It is best to feed yearling bulls separate from older bulls until after their second breeding season. This allows them to achieve the growth and strength necessary to compete with older bulls for feed and space.

You will see the benefit of a little added cost and care of feeding a yearling bull by probably two or three more years of service from a well managed and healthy bull.

Testicle Measurements

Testicular size is an indicator of puberty in both bulls and females, so selecting bulls with larger scrotal circumference measurements will not only ensure you of a bull who can service more cows over a given period of time, but will also provide you with daughters who will cycle earlier.

Multi-Breed Genetic Evaluation/EPDs To achieve highly accurate EPDs, large amounts of data are required. With a total of over nine million records from the American Simmental, Red Angus, Main Anjou and Chianina Associations, as well as the Canadian Angus and Simmental Associations, the American Simmental Association (ASA) has amassed the largest multi-breed database in the industry by a long stretch.

To accelerate the breed's advancement in the area of genetic evaluation, the ASA recently teamed with the Red Angus Association of American (RAAA) on a joint venture to perform and improve multi-breed genetic evaluation. Updated EPDs, reflecting this partnership were released with the last ASA Sire Summary. The new Simmental and Simmental Hybrid averages are:

Bull Buyers Guide Explanation of How to Utilize API and TI Indexes First, determine which index to use; if you're keeping replacements use API, if not, TI. Then, just as with EPDs, zero in on the unit difference between bulls. (As described to the left, index units are in dollars per cow exposed.) The difference can be used to determine how much a bull is worth compared to another. Or, put another way, how much you can pay for one bull compared to another. For example, when buying an all-purpose-type sire, you can quickly figure a bull scoring +100 for API is worth an extra $6,000 over a $50 bull if both are exposed to 30 cows over 4 years ($50 diff. x hd. x 4 yr. = $6,000).

Better genetics are being rewarded in marketplaces all over this nation. Choosing great genetics from herds associated with Allied Genetic Resources puts you in the position to take advantages of these opportunities and so many more as we look toward the future. The Allied logo stands for quality, it stands for commitment to the future and it means that you can expect the very best in customer services, year after year. There is no room in the future of the beef business for average genetics and no producer should settle for bulls that fail to improve profitability with each new generation.

Once you’ve made the choice to invest in genetics from the industry’s leading herds, identified by the Allied logo, you can take advantage of Allied’s customer service programs including marketing load lots of feeder cattle with our Superior Livestock Auction Rep Team and our free consulting services to help you navigate through the world of advanced genetic selection tools to make profitable decisions when buying bulls. Our growing list of feeder cattle marketing specialists are there to help produce more dollars for loads of calves that deserve them. Our consulting services too are available as you navigate a world with ever more advanced genetic tools for selection and progress. Regardless of your specific needs, when it comes to genetics for the future, we simply offer more. This year our members will market nearly 9000 commercially focused bulls, from 29 states spread throughout the United States. The Allied program is backed by a national presence, but is based on a locally produced and serviced product from the very best and most experienced group of independent seedstock producers. Contact any one of our service oriented staff to learn more about the value proposition offered by Allied and the producers that own it.
