REGISTERED RED ANGUS
SHADY OAKS cattle for commercial cow outfits
Dear Friends, For the past 20 years, we have enjoyed getting to know a great number of commercial cattle outfits through our private-treaty bull sale. However, due to the growing interest and demand for our bulls we have decided that now is the time for us to move to a new bull-marketing format that improves the time efficiency for us and our customers. In the past several years, the number of individual ranch tours we have given has grown exponentially. This gave us the notion that having an annual open house might be a better way to handle the growth of interest in our program. Furthermore, we decided that combining an open house event and a bull sale would give long-time friends as well as new customers an opportunity to mingle, learn a little about what we are doing, and give folks an opportunity to look through the bulls. Thus, the Shady Oaks Red Angus Bull Day and Cowboy Auction was born. The quality of the bulls is the same, the reasonable prices haven’t changed, and you still get service with a smile (most of the time!). The goal of our program has always been creating the best customer service for commercial cow outfits we can imagine. We have never been about Best New Bull of the Year marketing gimmicks or over-fed and over-priced high-pressure sales tactics. We want to create a program that gives you the most useful information about each bull and help you find the bulls that can best help your cowherd at the most reasonable cost possible. We put a tremendous amount of time and effort into collecting and analyzing the data you need to make good decisions about bulls that will work for what you are trying to do. Please review this catalog carefully to learn about the event itinerary, the educational programs, and the new sale format. If you have any questions at all, do not hesitate to call one of us or stop by to visit. Thank you for taking the time to review our offering; we look forward to seeing you on the 18th. God bless and have a great day! Jack & Mary Burt Eric & Alaina Mousel

What to expect on Bull Day Cattlemen and women are invited to join us on Saturday, March 18, 2017 for our first-ever Bull Day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Join us for coffee and conversation, an education program, lunch and viewing of our bulls for sale in 2017. If you would like to purchase a bull, your first opportunity will be on Bull Day. If you aren’t in the market for a bull, we still hope you will join us for an educational program and a chance to learn more about our cattle operation.
Schedule of Events 10 AM – Registration, Coffee & Rolls Walk through the bulls on your own 11 AM – Education Program: “Selecting Genetics to be Successful in the Commercial Cow Business” 11:30 AM – Q & A + Discussion Buying a Bull 12 PM – Lunch: “Walking Tacos” If you are in the market for a bull on Bull Day: 12:30 PM – Walk through the bulls with Q & A 1.

It does al“Buying a Bull,” at left). low you to participate in the Cowboy Auction for each animal It will probably take 15 – 20 minutes to auctionyou indicate an interest in. Strategy suggestion: If you want to off all of the bulls so you can expect to be done get a bull purchased on Bull Day, you should mark every lot you and on your way home to do chores by 2 PM. would be interested in buying. Therefore, if you don’t get the

first lot you marked purchased, you still have multiple opportunities to buy subsequent lots. Remember, marking a lot does not commit you to buying, it only reserves you an opportunity to bid at the Cowboy Auction. You can always decline to bid on a lot you marked if you decide you don’t want it. This makes a no-risk, no-stress sale for you and for us! Turn-in your buyer card to registration desk by 1 p.m. to be qualified to participate in the Cowboy Auction. A Bull Board (displayed in the lunch/program area) will list the buyer numbers interested in each bull. Shortly after 1 p.m., a Cowboy Auction will be held based on interest documented on the Bull Board.
6.
If multiple buyers are interested in the same bull, a Cowboy Auction will be held for that lot (see ‘What is a Cowboy Auction?’ page 3). 7. If there is only one buyer interested in a lot, that buyer will be given the option to buy the bull at the base-price listed or decline purchasing that lot if they so choose. 8. If there is no interest in a lot, we move on. We understand this format will be new to most people. We will review the procedure for bidding on bulls again on Bull Day so if you have questions, don’t hesitate to call ahead of time or ask at the event.

What is a Cowboy Auction? In the past, we have sold our bulls private-treaty style on a first -come, first-serve basis. This is the first time we are hosting an open house event to begin our bull selling season. With such an event, we recognize that multiple cattlemen and women might be interested in purchasing the same animal(s). In an effort to “level the playing field,” so to speak, we will conduct a Cowboy Auction at 1:30 p.m. for those interested in purchasing a bull on Bull Day. Drawing from low-pressure sale approaches of Kit Pharo (Pharo Cattle Company) and Dave Nichols (Nichols Farm), here’s what you can expect from our Cowboy Auction: There is no fast-talking auctioneer and no loud, in-your-face bid takers. Every bull has a base price posted in this catalog. Bulls sell in catalog order, and only if there is interest, based on submitted Buyer Cards (and documented on the Bull Board). For each bull, we will ask those buyers interested in purchasing the animal
at the base price (posted in catalog) to raise their buyer number. If there is only one number in the air, the bull will be sold to that number at the base price. If there is more than one number in the air, we will increase the price in $100 increments until only one number remains. This provides a very simple, low-pressure way to purchase bulls. You will always know what the bid is and who is bidding against you. The only problem with our Cowboy Auction is there can be a tie bid when the last two (or more) buyer numbers drop out at the same time. When that happens, we will give the bid to the bidder number with the lowest buyer number. The other bidder(s) will then be required to increase the bid by $25 to stay in the auction. If s/he increases the bid, then the bidder with the lowest buyer number can raise the bid another $25, and so on. This can usually break a tie in 5 or 10 seconds.

1. Name. This is the registered name of the animal. 2. Birth Date. This is the birth date of the animal. 3. Paternal Grand Sire. Sire of the Sire. 4. Sire. Sire (father) of the animal. 5. Paternal Grand Dam. Dam of the Sire. 6. Maternal Grand Sire. Sire of the Dam. 7. Dam. Dam (mother) of the animal. 8. Maternal Grand Dam. Dam of the Dam. 9. Age of Dam. Age of Dam at the time of weaning the progeny identified. 10. Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs). - The difference in expected performance of future progeny of an individual, compared with expected performance of future progeny of an individual of average genetic merit in the base time frame for the genetic evaluation. EPDs are estimated from phenotypic merit of an individual and all of its relatives and are estimates of one-half the breeding values. EPDs are generally reported in units of measurement for the trait (e.g., lb., in., etc.). 11. Data. The weight for that trait in that column adjusted to a constant days of age by Red Angus Association and Beef Improvement standards. 12. Percentile Ranking. This is the percentage rank of the EPD within the type of animal. Rank groups are Proven and Opportunity Sires, Active Dams and Non Parent under Two Years of Age. 13. Calving Ease Direct (CED). Predicts the probability of calves being born unassisted out of 2-yearold heifers. Producers want live calves - born unassisted. Selecting on actual birth weight is flawed; it is influenced by non-genetic factors such as nutrition and weather (ambient temperature). While BW EPD removes these non-genetic factors, Red Angus’ CED EPD is the best predictor of calving ease. The CED EPD includes variation in BW plus other influential genetic factors such as gestation length, calf shape, etc.

14. Birth Weight EPD. Predicts the difference, in pounds, for birth weight, and is also used in the calculation of Red Angus’ Calving Ease Direct (CED) EPD. BW - Birth Weight. Actual weight in pounds at birth. 15. Weaning Weight EPD. Predicts the difference, in pounds, for weaning weight (adjusted to age of dam and a standard 205 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to weaning. WW - Weaning Weight. The 205 adjusted weight. This is an indicator of growth up to weaning. 16. Yearling Weight EPD. Predicts the expected difference, in pounds, for yearling weight (adjusted to a standard 365 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to yearling. 17. Milk EPD. Predicts the difference in maternal production of an individual animal’s daughters as expressed by the weaning weight of their calves. 18. Maintenance Energy (ME). Predicts differences in daughters’ maintenance energy requirements and is expressed in Mcal/Month. Recognizing that 70% of cow herd feed costs are burned up in maintaining weight and condition, Red Angus’ ME EPD allows for the selection of bulls whose daughters will require less feed; thus, reducing cowherd expenses. Include selection pressure for ME EPD to ensure feed costs don’t get out of line when selection is made for greater performance and production. 19. Heifer Pregnancy (HPG). Predicts the probability of heifers conceiving to calve at two years of age. Many breeds offer genetic predictions of yearling bull scrotal circumference as an indicator of age of puberty. While puberty is a prerequisite, many factors influence pregnancy rate. Red Angus’ HPG EPD offers a tool which selects for what is economically relevant to ranchers. 20. Stayability (STAY). Predicts the probability of a bull’s daughters remaining productive until at least six years of age. Why six? That’s how long it takes a female to breakeven given all the expenses of development.

21. Marbling (MARB). Predicts differences for carcass marbling score as expressed in marbling score units. Higher marbling scores are positively correlated with higher carcass quality grades. 22. Ribeye Area (REA). Predicts differences of carcass Rib Eye Area between the 12th and 13th rib. Increased Rib Eye Area has a beneficial effect on Yield Grade which also includes Carcass Weight and Fat Thickness. 23. Animal ID. How we ID animals on the ranch; corresponds to the animal’s ear tag. 24. Tattoo. All animals bear a permanent tattoo in their right and left ears. 25. Registration #. This is the Registration number of the animal. All Red Angus animals can be looked up on the Red Angus website at www.redangus.org and going to the animal search page and using this registration number. 26. Herdbuilder (HB) Index. We As the name indicates, implementation of the HerdBuilder Index will assist producers in building profitable herds. 27. GridMaster (GM) Index. While Red Angus has traditionally been known as a superior maternal breed, those who have retained ownership in Red Angus calves know of their potential to excel in the feedyard and ultimately hang a premium carcass. 28. Weight Per Day of Age (WDA). Weight of an individual divided by days of age; in this catalog this represents the WDA from birth to weaning. 29. Average Daily Gain (ADG). Measurement of daily body weight change over a specified period of time of an animal on a feed test. 30. Calving Ease Score (CE). This is our recommendation for CE based upon data and pedigree. 1star is low; 3-star is high. 31. Price. Base price for this animal, represented in US-Dollars.
