Byergo Angus Farms Annual Sale

Welcome friends and customers

At Byergo Angus our success depends on the success of our customers. Simply put, we know that the only reason we have been in business for 73 years is because of YOU and that is what drives us every day.

It’s our duty to produce the genetics you need to be successful. Our motto has long been “Cowboy Traits first, and Data Second”. Soundness, Fertility, Maternal Instincts, Fleshing Ability, and Docility are where it all starts, without these traits nothing else matters.

We never exclusively focus on any one trait because exceling in multiple traits is the key to improvement. With that said a few very important traits have been neglected the last half-century and they will drastically improve your bottom line.

Pelvic Area. The industry has bred towards extreme calving ease. Breeding for extreme calving ease instead of Big Pelvic’s is creating calving problems and dinky calves that costs the industry millions of dollars every year.

Feed Efficiency, this so important as feed costs are the biggest expense of ranching. Focusing on Feed Efficiency Conversion, will allow you to keep the Power Maternal cows without sacrificing output.

Fertility/ Longevity. You need both, cows that breed every year and that last the test of time. Get rid of cows that don’t breed early in the season and keep replacements from cows that are proven.

We are at the beginning of an exciting cattle cycle uptrend, with some great years ahead. I urge all of our customers to push hard and incorporate cowboy sense coupled with data. And remember don’t make simple things complicated.

We are a family operation from top to bottom and I encourage you to call one of my sons if you have any questions. They love these cattle and will personally help you.

EPDs – How to read the Byergo Sale Book

CED - Calving Ease Direct - This is an EPD to look at when choosing a bull for heifers. The higher the number, the easier calving the bull is. 7 and up is good for heifers.

BEPD - Birth Weight EPD - A number to look at for birth weight. The lower the number, the lighter the birthweight is expected to be. We typically consider any number under 2.0 fine for heifers. Bulls that are in the 2’s, 3’s, 4’s and 5’s are great for cows. Remember as a breed, Angus calve easy. The difference between a 1 and 6 is 5 lbs. at birth. Start selecting the higher BW bulls for your cows. It will make you more money.

WEPD - Weaning Weight EPD - This is the EPD you look at for weaning weights. The higher the number the better. Remember, breed average is +61. Anything above +68 is in the top 25% percent of the breed. Growth is a must to make this sale.

YEPD - Yearling Weight EPD - This is the EPD you look at for yearling weights. The higher the number the better. Remember breed average is +108. We take great pride in our bulls’ growing ability.

RADG - The residual average daily gain is the feed efficiency EPD we look at. We consider anything above a +.25 as being good. The higher the number the better.

DMI - Dry Matter Intake, expressed in pounds per day, is a predictor of difference in transmitting ability for feed intake during the post-weaning phase, compared to that of other sires. Anything below 1.5 is good. Lower is better.

MILK - The Milk EPD is something to look at if you are retaining heifers. The higher the number, the more they are expected to milk.

CW - The carcass weight EPD. The higher the better.

MARB - The marbling EPD. The higher the better.

RE - The ribeye EPD. The higher the better.

Fat - The fat EPD. The lower the better.

BWT - The actual birth weight.

ADJ. 205 - The adjusted weaning weight. We are very proud of our power. Pounds equal money!

Beef Value $B - an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for post weaning and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires. The higher the number the better.

Give yourself some Cash Back! Unique with a pedigree that is an outcross to virtually all widely used Angus genetics. ✧ Proven Efficiency. He converted at a 4.79 to 1 with a -1.64 RFI. He has an RADG of +.30 (top15%) with a DMI of +.35 (top 10%). An incredible combination! ✧ Better yet is that he is a carcass king with a +1.60 marbling EPD where he had 203 IMF ratio while still maintain a 109 REA ratio with only a 105 fat ratio. You do not find this level of marbling in such an outcross pedigree.

Long spined and clean made rounds out the package coupled with his perfect uddered dam and his ultra-rare sought after sire.

We have used 1717 and will continue to inject these unique genetics into the program!

Awesome might be an understatement. Just like a pyramid, 1217 is built on an incredible foundation, built from the ground up like a brick house.

Big time spread on this Herd Sire prospect that is an absolute sight to see while putting together added weight while saving you money on conversion. ✧ 217 is the perfection of what we had envisioned when we planned this mating. He comes by it honestly, out of the exquisite Stetson daughter. The combination of data and look make Pyramid the real deal!

WHY FEED EFFICIENCY?

We feel that efficiency in all aspects of agriculture is going to be the key ingredient to success going forward. Cattle are no different. It has long been a trait that has been overlooked in the cattle industry. One of the factors being that it is so expensive to test for. At Byergo Angus we have made the decision that no matter the cost, we must collect this data for our customers. The commercial cowman cannot chance it, you just cannot buy bulls that haven’t been feed efficiency tested. As we look at feed efficiency there are buzzwords that just seem to cloud the goal of the rancher. We have looked at a couple different buzzwords in the industry, RFI and DMI. They are confusing and as we examined these calculations, we found that RFI too many times identifies non-doers while DMI EPD is skewed too much towards no performance.

Then we examined RADG (Residual Average Daily Gain) which looks at how an animal gains in comparison to the expected intake. We have found this to be the best EPD for Feed Efficiency at this point. With that said, we still wanted to do better. That’s why when we looked at all the data, we decided to not overthink the process. We asked, “What is efficiency to our customers?”

The answer became clear--FEED CONVERSION and COST OF GAIN. By looking at conversion we can still keep the dry matter intake in consideration while finding performance animals. Also, by doing this we are not picking a type and kind to be the most efficient but rather just following the data. SIMPLY PUT-THE

ANIMALS THAT CONVERT THE BEST ARE THE MOST

EFFICIENT! We have also seen in our cowherd that daughters of bulls that converted the best have been our longest lasting, fleshiest, most fertile cows.

What

will Feed Efficiency

do for you?

If you finish your cattle, you will save money and your bottom line will improve (in fact this is the single most important factor whether you make money, yes even more important than grid premiums). Days on feed, conversion, and quality pounds is where you make money feeding cattle. Also note, even if you sell your calves at the stockyards, somebody is feeding them and tracking them.

If you retain females, this is where the most money can be saved in feed costs each year. We have also found that daughters out of the best converting bulls stay fleshier, are more fertile (probably because they are fleshier) and last longer. It is common sense, they convert grass to pounds easier so they are healthier, therefore last longer.

How to read the sale book for efficiency?

A special note is that industry average for conversion is around 6.5 to 1.

AT BYERGO ANGUS - THE SALE BULLS AVERAGED 4.9 to 1. We have 0 bulls that are below industry average, we credit this to generations of selecting sires that convert well. It’s genetic! Each sale bull that has been feed efficiency tested has a chart with the following information:

Conversion is the pounds eaten to pound gained. Lower is better. 6.5 to 1 is industry average.

BYERGO BULLS AVERAGED 4.9 to 1.

Conversion ratio is a ratio compared to the other animals they were weaned with. (You can only compare feed efficiency within groups of cattle that have been together their whole life). The higher the ratio the better they did within their contemporary group. 100 is average. Anything above 100 is above average and on up.

Cost of gain is how much it costs to put on a pound. The lower the better.

Dollar saved is the savings to put on 600 lbs vs industry average.

Yearling Bulls will have Feed Efficiency Data on Sale Day!

LET’S DO SOME MATH

If your feed costs are 25 cents per pound on a dry matter basis, and you are at the industry average of 6.5 lb. coversion, it is costing you $1.62 to put on a pound. You would be losing money on Every Pound Gained!

If you could improve that to a 4.5lb. coversion that would take your cost of gain down to $1.13 per pound.

Making money every pound gained. If you try to put on 600 pounds, this would be a $295 savings per animal!

Winston has to be a go to Sire if you are wanting to add pounds to a calf crop.

Look for his daughters to be second to none as he is out of the ultra-beautiful 5439. Udder structure while still supplying ample milk with fertility are qualities that really stand out with the 5439 lineage.

Winston always wowed visitors in the pasture on farm tours. He will add scale to a calf crop and his sons look to follow in his footsteps. Now resides in the ALTA genetics lineup.

Foot – Udder Quality – Fertility

In a recent study conducted by the American Angus Association, stayability was one of the most sought after traits. At Byergo Angus, there is nothing we pride ourselves in more than our cows’ ability to stay in the herd and to produce for years. Longevity - stayability is a must. Check out our list of stayability...

(The dam of Black Magic) - Still producing strong at 16. 7229

(The dam of Stetson) - Still producing strong at 14. 5899

(The dam of Oasis and Samson) - Produced strong to 16. 2345

Visitors are always surprised driving through the pasture and checking out all the 13- to 18-year-old cows doing their job. This is no accident as our founding Elia of South Oaks matron produced strong into her 20s.

Byergo Oasis 6052

sire group and they need no introduction. These Oasis sons have already been top selling sire groups in 2 sales. They flat out get after it.

1119 has the added weight and comes by it honestly with generations of power bred in. These Pistol Pete daughters are proving out to be real producers. Soundness, efficiency, and added pounds is a winning combination. Notice the 4th dam is 190W, she produced until she was 22 years old.

An all-time Legend at Byergo Angus and for good reason, he is an absolute machine. He has now amassed the record for most naturally serviced cows at Byergo Angus. Oasis usually runs with three different groups of cows per year and has had over 100 natural calves in a fiscal year 3 times.

His sons have been the high selling sire group in 2 sales, they are always sale day favorites.

Oasis’s greatest legacy will be his daughters though. Fabulous, exquisite cows that look to last the test of time.

Byergo Oasis 1933

just that, out of the 13 year-old, going strong 0104. This Big Time daughter has caught the attention of many visitors over the years. The Big Time sons and daughters were some of our all-time high customer pleasers and 0104 sure fits the bill, she had a sale topper clear back in the 2014 bull sale.

is going to find friends. He is really standing out and was one of my top picks in the bull pen as I’m writing this. Real hoss with just that added big bull look.

in the calving ease at +13 CED and the fact that he is out of a Stetson dam and this is a bull to put on your radar. 1933 is very efficient…. Make cattle ranching fun again!

Byergo Mufasa 1956

has been a pick his whole life as visitors always found him in the pasture as a calf. Wean day was no different, as he was a sight to see. Power and style would sum it up.

Here is the really cool part, his dam is a 13 year old cow. She has gotten the job done time and time again. She is the type of female that has kept us in business for 73 years, Blue collar cows I call them, no pampering, just go out and do your job. Pounds + Efficiency + Longevity=Profit

Special Note

✧ Oh My, Oh My….One of the really great phenotype bulls to sell anywhere this year. A grandson of the great Cupcake 8900. This just reminds us again how she captivated such an audience and her offspring have been incorporated into programs all over the world. ✧ Efficiency, Calving ease, and the pounds will be there. This is just one helluva bull!

POWER MATERNAL FEMALES

The excitement and calls for Power Maternal cattle have been overwhelming. It has become very apparent that there is great demand for Power Maternal!

So What is Power Maternal?

A Power Maternal Cow is a solid, efficient cow. A solid structured cow that has good feet, legs, and rib shape. A durable, smart mother that is strong in her kind and built for longevity. A bigger scaled animal that has the drive to forage under the toughest conditions. A cow that is not small or weak in any way. A cow that mothers her calf and is conscious of her calf’s well-being. A cow that ultimately, time and time again, weans a huge power quality calf with an extremely high % Body Weight Weaned! In short, that’s a Power Maternal Cow. That’s a Byergo Cow!

THE POWER MATERNAL SCORE

The Power Maternal scoring system takes into account several factors that are not incorporated into EPDs, two of which are Longevity and Actual Pelvic Size (huge factors in the profitability of a cattle operation). Factors that go into the power maternal score are the following:

Longevity, Actual Pelvic Size, Dam’s %Body Weight Weaned, Dam’s Body Condition, Scrotal Measurement, Fertility Score, Weaning Weight, Dam’s Average

Way #2 you can save by buying a Feed Efficiency tested Sire

Backgrounding calves

It has been proven that it pays to wean your calves for 45-60 days before selling them. When you look at conversion, it is easy to see Sires vary drastically in their daily conversion cost. Let’s do some math.

o Sire A (a bull not bred for feed efficiency) has calves put a cost of gain on for .90 cents per pound.

o Sire B (A Feed Efficiency tested sire) has calves put a cost of gain on for .60 cents per pound.

o A difference of .30 cents per pound gain on calves that are averaging a 3 lbs/per day gain.

o =That equals $.90 per day per calf.

o For 60 days that ends up being $54 per calf savings.

o If both bulls sire 25 calves that ends up being $1350 that Sire B saved you versus Sire A in one calf crop. Very easy to see the Value in Sire B- The feed Efficiency tested sire.

(Juice5085). What a cow 5085 was and what a cow 1404 is.

On an early morning a few weeks ago when the truck was reading -17 (with a -35 windchill) we were feeding a bale of hay to large group of cows. I couldn’t help but think, hope 1404 can still handle this extreme weather…. And there she was leading the pack. What a cow! Power Maternal Matters!

The 7808 donor is a cow that is a no miss as she consistently turns head on tours. She is a Wow cow!

Yup, again he’s a hoss. 1402 excels at putting together an excellent combination

Byergo Clarity 1405

This is what a flush is suppose to look like, where every brother is a stud. Really disappointed when I’ve went to sale’s where one flush brother is great and another sucks. It’s all about consistency.

Yeah that’s right he is again a hoss! 1405 has the second highest WW EPD of the brothers and will make you take a second look.

Calving ease Thriller son that will still have gas to turn it on.

Make note of the Andy daughter, they always get the job done. Good conversion and good marbling on this bull that is 12 generations of Byergo Breeding.

Byergo Thriller 1939

1128 will again hit that calving ease mark. Still plenty of grow and stretch here.

1128 has a ton of mating flexibility as you can use him on your Andy, Black Magic, Oasis, and Wrangler cattle. 16 generations of Byergo Breeding.

✧ 1939 is a bit of a sleeper, really like this bull. He has an attractive presence about him. ✧ Also puts together a very good data set. A heifer bull, with plenty of stretch and grow to also go on cows. Super sound individual that is 13 generations of Byergo Breeding.

Byergo Iconic 1409

Has been a very popular throughout the industry. Attractive cattle that give you added carcass quality.

1229 is bred for style crossing up Iconic with a Boomer daughter. Good growth spread and added carcass quality in this bull that traces back 14 generations to our original cow “Elia of South Oaks”

of the rising star donor “7631”. 7631, a maternal sister to Winston, really jumped on the scene in the fall of 2021 when her set of flush brothers averaged $13,000. She’ll put that cowboy look into them for dang sure.

This was a can’t miss mating and we are very pleased with the results. 1409 will fit a lot of different breeding objectives because he is just an all around good bull. Put him on your list.

Looking for an Attractive, Very Sound, Calving-Ease bull. 1794 fits the bill.

Byergo Salvation 1407

1111 is from our embryo program out of the very popular Salvation. 1111 is more moderate, but still has plenty of thickness.

It’s always about the cow behind the bull and 1111 is out of one productive momma, just a calf raiser that always weans a high percentage of her body weight. 1111 has lower intake with still good conversion.

again out of the popular Salvation from the 6125 donor, who is a maternal sister to Byergo Lawmaker.

is an extra growth Salvation. Check out the conversion, push down the scale with quality pounds. Daughters will be top notch from this bull that descends 13 generations back to cow that started it all “Elia of South Oaks”.

Byergo Lightning

Here is a Sire group that everyone has been looking for. The Lightning’s bring the real world power to a whole different level.

Don’t even worry about looking at the EPD’s on growth on Lightning’s, just know they flat out grow in a package you won’t get docked for at the sale barn for being dumpy.

Remember that the difference between a +1.0 BEPD and a +6.0 BEPD is 5 pounds on average at birth. Something that you can’t even notice without scales. Bigger calves at birth will equal more money for you. You should get a 3, 4 or 5 BW EPD for cows.

Byergo Lightning 1108

Elia 3157

Byergo Miss Elia 2836 Byergo Only Answer 9779 Byergo Miss Elia 7229

3/4 brother to lots 80 and 81. Put a Lightning into your next calf crop and watch them grow as fast as a lightning strikes. They are changers.

Birth weight will not be an issue, in fact lowering Birth Weights has been focused on for so long that the cattle business has now found themselves in a position of needing to increase Birth Weights.

Byergo Lightning 1109

82 ✧ Extra Length, Extra Scale, Extra Pounds, and better conversion are all going to lead to Extra dollars in your pocket. ✧ These bulls are unique to say the least. Think of them more like breeding to a Black Charolais, only better.

Byergo Lightning 1110

This bull is going to be a sale favorite. Just check out that picture and he definitely won’t disappoint in person. Long spined, thick topped, thick quartered, extra scale. ✧ Out of a 14 year old cow, do to the age of the cow the EPDs just aren’t correct on this bull. He is one of the top growth bulls in the entire sale. Just image if you had a set of steers that look like this.

Byergo Lightning

Byergo

Do you want a freak? Here he is. If you asked me for the top growth bull of the sale. This would be him. If you asked me for the top growth bull to sell in America this year. THIS WOULD BE HIM.

Yes he is big and yes he is going to be a very big bull, the biggest growth bull can’t in turn then be small. He will be a flat changer of a calf crop.

THROW BACK DOMINANCE

As you turn the page, we take a path down memory lane and gosh dang its impressive. The cross of Ankonian One (Who is the sire of Cupcake 8900) x Cupcake 7400. Cupcake 7400 made herself known as the dam of Byergo Maverick 8400, but she didn’t stop there where at 15 years old she has proven to be one of the most efficient cows of the entire breed.

02K2 is flat out different than today’s cattle and that is, outside of a few modern pedigrees, they have way more growth. If you want more bone, more hip, more thickness…. Check him out.

The Epd’s don’t reflect the true growth because of the age of the pedigree, (Sire is 27 and dam is 15) but these bulls flat grow. Take a look for yourself.

If you want an outcross pedigree that adds another dimension of throwback power then don’t miss this opportunity. They will impress!

is efficiency bred on both sides and it shows as he converted at an impressive 4.89 to 1. Calving ease to boot. Look for his growth to be higher than on paper because of the age of his dam.

Byergo Savant 1938

✧ Calving ease alert! 1938 is out of the 7702 cow that has served as a donor for us and is also the dam of lot 74 bull. This is a

Check out the calving ease spread on this bull. WoW! 14 CED with a -2.3 BW EPD and cool thing is the vigor. definitely will get up and thrive.

15 generations of Byergo Breeding on this bull that is out of a really good Easy Answer daughter, they are tremendous cows.

There is a lot of chatter in the registered world about cow size. The answer to this is not using a non-performance bull and making your entire calf crop suffer.

If you are worried about mature cow size, use the stud bull. Cull the biggest, most power (top 25% ) of your heifers, they will feed like steers. And keep the middle half for replacements. Think how much money would be made sorting and feeding heifers off the top instead of off the tiny bottom end if you use a non-performer.

is really making his mark and continues to gain traction for siring practical money making cattle.

Wow efficiency here. 4.48 to 1. This comes as no surprise being that his maternal grandsire is our foundation efficiency sire Byergo LoInHiOut…. Also take note of the added marbling here.

We have Steer A and Steer B

o Steer A has a cost of gain that is .52 cents per pound.

o Steer B has a cost of gain that is $1.08 per pound.

o A difference in cost of gain at .56 cents per pound.

o We are trying to put 650 pounds on these 2 steers.

o 650 pounds x .56 cents per pound= $364 in feed cost savings that steer A would save you.

This is looking at good converter versus a bad converter but it would be nothing for a proven Feed Efficient Sire to save you $100$150 per calf in feedlot savings and this number will go up with inflation and rising feed costs. GET THEM EFFICIENT! IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT TRAIT TO YOUR BOTTOM LINE OF PROFIT!

all that and more. Look at the calving ease spread and the perfect feet on this bull that is sure to catch your attention.

Byergo Fireball 1084

might not be a hotter sire in the breed right now than Fireball. You will want to check out the data here.

This is a bull out of a very attractive made cow. She has a perfect udder, while still milking an ample amount, and she has a stud calf on her again this year. We love a data/good momma cow combination.

Barrel son from the Rosemere Barbara cow family. This is the cow family of 6137, the dam of Byergo Andy 0115. 1796’s dam (7915) was a member of our ET program and she is a massive maternal matron that has

dam of Byergo Diesel.

calving ease prospect that has added carcass traits and is out of a cow family that is known to produce. This will be an excellent pick.

THE GREATEST HONOR IN THE CATTLE INDUSTRY

This time of year always brings about a time for reflection. For my family it marks the 73rd year in the business that we love/live everyday and boy it has been journey.

In the past year we have had visitors from all over the United States, Scotland, France, Australia, South America, and Sri Lanka. It has been a heck of a ride and I would like to say thank you to all visitors that have made Byergo Angus a destination, but this is not the honor I’m talking about.

THE GREATEST HONOR IN THE CATTLE BUSINESS IS SELLING A BULL TO ONE OF YOUR NEIGHBORS!

Nothing brings us greater honor or humbles us more than selling a bull to the gentleman that runs across the fence. We are so lucky to have some of the greatest neighbors in the world and honored more than they will ever know that across the fence runs a Byergo Angus bull.

I want to say a big Thank You to Kee and Steve Farnan, Mike Merrigan, Pat Swinford, Mike and Kenny Wandfluh, John Giffin (The ultimate neighbor who has bought bulls before we were born), Brandon Wolf, Dale Stoll, Mark and Matthew Beattie, Brian Burson, John McMillan (again bought bulls before we were born), Shaun Wiederholt, Rob Pearcy and Jeff Brown (both honorary Barnard cattlemen), Josh McMillan, Todd and Trestan McGeorge, the late Phillip McGeorge, Adam Hull, Jamie Lewis, Jim Farnan, Shane Walker, Chris Pedersen, Ryan Richardson, Keith Sutton, (joins the list of buying bulls since before we were born), Tim Wilmes, Sam Schafer, Mike Wilmes, Paul & Cade Henggeler, John Hillyard, Shane Deering and Anthony Gabriel. (I’m sure I missed somebody and apologize in advance) Every person on this list is a big part of getting to sale day, whether it is stopping to get cattle in, helping get hay put up, giving a tow out of a sticky situation, having a drink while checking the feed bunks (This one might be more pleasure than work Brandon, Ha), and or buying bulls for over 40 years.

These are the men, and men/women just like them all over the country, that make the cattle industry great! They are what defines the American Cattleman and every man on this list would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. They are tough (and every single one of them will let you know when you are wrong- which makes you love them just that much more), have perseverance and a heart of gold.

This my friends is what makes the cattle industry great. It will never be about some white tablecloth event, or some $50,000 heifer. The industry needs these men, to provide the world with the greatest protein man has ever eaten! As the great Theordore Roosevelt said “The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood”

Big Thank to Everyone that provides us with the GREATEST

HONOR IN THE CATTLE INDUSTRY.

After writing this “Ponder The Thought”, the words couldn’t ring truer, as the Lord gained a great man and one great neighbor. Mike Wandfluh was always willing to lend a hand and needed nothing in return. Countless times he cleaned a driveway, pulled one us out when we were stuck, or the year the hay pile was getting low so he showed up with hay and said we’d figure it out later. He was the definition of a great neighbor and County Road 58 will sure miss that blue truck. Thank You, Mike Wandfluh!

Granddaughter of the great “6137”. 6137 is best known as the dam of Byergo Andy 0115. 8460’s dam was part of a very successful flush where several brothers were sale features. Very complete profile across the board with a breed leading combination of YW, RADG, DMI. Great Find!

Byergo Annie 8136

Whoa, wake up!

8136 had one of the top heifers in the entire 2021 calf crop where she had a 113 weaning weight ratio. This Annie cow family has been doing good things and this cow is hitting her prime and already proven she has the ability to produce a great one.

Will be close to calving sale day to Byergo Charles or Byergo Silver Bullet Calf will have to be DNA tested.

As a heifer 8105 was anointed our next great donor, when you see her, I think you will see why. In life things change sometimes, her sire came out as a NHC therefore so did 8105. So here is the deal, you will have to test 8105’s calves for NH to be registered. On Average, 50% will be free and fine to reg. and 50% of them will be carries and can’t be registered. With that said if you are trying to build a great herd, here is something with a huge upside. If she wasn’t a carrier this would be a $20,000 type of cow. Take advantage of this opportunity! ✧ Will be close to calving sale day to Byergo Charles or Byergo Silver Bullet Calf will have to be DNA tested.

The donor dam of 04K2 is none other than the great “Cupcake 7400”. 7400 is most notably the dam of Byergo Maverick and maternal sister to Cupcake 5900 (the dam of Black Magic).

They are averaging a 4.12 to 1 conversion. WOW! Think outside the box folks, Times are changing!
