It is my privilege to invite and welcome you to our upcoming bull sale on February 25. I can confidently say that the depth of quality at has never run deeper at Pérez Cattle Company, in both the Hereford and Angus divisions. We remain steadfast in our mission to raise real-world cattle that fit the needs of the commercial cattleman.
My vision of the ideal beef bull is a massive-ribbed, dense, robust, sound-structed bull with added length, style and balance. This year’s registered offering is 100% parent-verified and sells with genomic-enhanced EPDs. As you’ll notice with these large sire groups, consistency in cattle is our priority. This sale offers you the opportunity to build a herd bull battery with full, ¾, and ½ brothers. This, in turn, will yield consistency in your calf crops, which will result in increased premiums.
Our number one goal is to build the most ideal female for the Southwest. Our devotion to never waiver from female excellence has yielded us a tremendous cow herd, consisting of both Hereford and Angus cows. I believe the greatest value you’ll gain from your next Pérez bull will be the exceptional replacement females he leaves in your herd.
As a special highlight, we are offering a select group of Hereford yearling heifers. These heifers will sell with registration papers and genomic-enhanced EPDs. They are ideal for both registered and progressive commercial operations seeking to enhance productivity and female quality. This offering was immensely popular at our October sale, with the entire group being purchased by one ranch.
On a personal note, I’ve recently taken on a role as a cattle representative for Live-Ag, a new cattle marketing firm. My longtime friend Jason Barber, who brings over 18 years of experience from the Superior Purebred Division, along with several other key people are leading the firm. My goal is to add profitability and consistency to your marketing plan. The demand for high-quality Hereford and Angus cattle that are well-managed and properly vaccinated has never been stronger. I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to help market your cattle to buyers across the feeding sector and to see the value it will add to your operation.
In closing, I am deeply honored that you, my fellow cattlemen, continue to select Pérez Cattle Company as your trusted source for bulls. We don’t take this responsibility lightly. Our livelihood depends on your future success. To our potential new customers, thank you for considering us for your next set of bulls. I challenge you to find a more massive set of maternally bred bulls in the Southwest.
We look forward to seeing you on sale day, where you can enjoy a complimentary steak lunch and our warm hospitality.
Sincerely, Kyle
Pérez

It’s hard to put into words what this great bull has meant to our operation and the positive influence he’s having on our herd. To start, his sons are simply the right kind of bulls for the Southwest. They are moderate-framed, big-ribbed, dense made cattle, loaded with muscle from nose to tail. They give you a great look from the side in terms of balance and design and are so sound and athletic in their structure.
His daughters will go down as his strong suit. We calved our first big group this fall. They’ve been nursing calves since September and are still in excellent flesh while raising big, stout healthy calves. The Maverick daughters have excellent udders filled with the “rich” kind of milk by the looks of their calves.
From a genotype standpoint Mavericks EPDs continue to improve and calves are being reported all over the country. This is the true test of a great breeding bull as he’s used nationwide. This large sire group will grab you quickly with authority.

I had the opportunity to purchase this great prospect from my almamater Kansas State University. We gave Land Grant a big opportunity in our spring herd and Whoo…check out the yearling Herefords to see the results. This set of yearlings are loaded with style, muscle, correctness, pigment and quality. There’s extra calving ease in Land Grant, yet they take off and grow and develop. We couldn’t be more excited to offer you this sire group.
We introduced Steadfast into the herd as he offered another outstanding maternal line out of the renowned NJW cow herd. His dam, 202C, is my favorite cow at their ranch currently and continues to raise outstanding calves year after year for NJW. This ET sire group is stellar! We love the length, weight, mass, and structure they offer.
The daughters in the bred heifers are among some of our best. You will see more 156J influence in our herd going forward as they’re just the right kind of cattle.

Unique was purchased from our good friends in Montana the Thomas family. He was the best calf out of that calf crop raised by his two-year-old dam when I visited the ranch.
We have AI’d 4 sets of heifers to him. He has done an excellent job, offering calving ease without sacrificing performance and quality. 1030 has grown into an impressive herd bull and his daughters will start calving in February. They look to have excellent udders.
As his daughters are coming into production, we feel is a great opportunity for the next herd to get some value out of him. He has so much more to offer another operation. Buy with confidence the guess work is behind this guy and he has a proven record.

Barricade does the Little things Right to Make the Big Things Happen
Even though we don’t own this bull, we have probably used him harder than any Angus operation in the country. We have bred every mature cow to 632F for two-years, both spring and fall. The young Barricade daughters are breath taking— fleshy, sound, productive broody females that work hard and pay bills every day. This sale is loaded with 30 sons and 9 grandsons. They are simply our kind of beef bulls. They do the little things right to make the big things happen. This will be the last big 632F sire group we will offer as he is deceased, and the semen bank is depleted. We are still using 632F when we IVF Flush, but this is your chance on what we feel will be the best and largest selection of Barricade sons.

EvJoe Jones from Sitz called me and said “Kyle this is your kind of bull” and man was he right. I just love the length, depth and thickness he offers. Jim Sitz feels 637J dam ranks right up there on the top of the list in their cow herd.If you ever have the opportunity to evaluate the Sitz, herd you’ll see why I’m so invested in sires from their operation — hard working cows everywhere you look, raising big powerful calves. The 637J sire group is massive, stout and among some of our best in the offering.

His sire KJ Justified is one of the lead Angus AI sires in the breed. If you’re looking for calving easy genetics with excellent maternal traits check this sire group out.

The Power of Genomically Enhanced EPDs
The American Hereford Association (AHA) has embraced the use of genomics into their genetic evaluation by launching a first of its kind single step analysis that utilizes the marker effects of specific traits. Likewise, AHA is directly estimating accuracy values rather than approximating. The direct estimation of accuracy results in a more conservative value but a more accurate value than previous methodologies. The AHA is producing the most reliable genetic evaluation that is supported by Whole Herd TPR™ and genomics, which will give prospective buyers added confidence in purchasing young and unproven animals.
Buying animals that have a genomic profile incorporated into their Expected Progeny Difference (EPD) offers many advantages that allow for quicker breed and herd improvement. To the right is a table showing the average increase in accuracy when buying a young animal with a Genomic Enhanced EPD (GE-EPD) versus an animal without a GE-EPD. Similarly, an effective progeny number increase is listed by trait that shows how many progeny equate to a genomic enhancement of a young animal (e.g. yearling). That’s right, buying a young animal that has been genotyped is like having 2-17 progeny, depending on the trait. The proof gained on young, non-parent animals, through a genomic enhancement is valuable and greatly mitigates the risk and allows for more directed selection.
Tequesquite Ranch
83 Years of Breeding American
Quarter Horse
The Tequesquite Ranch of Albert, New Mexico has a rich history in ranching and breeding horses. Albert K. Mitchell, one of the founding members of the AQHA, started the horse program in the 1930’s. The first ranch horse registered with the AQHA was Tequesquite Lady 17. Currently, Lyn Ray, the 5th generation on the ranch, is managing the horse operation.
Today the ranch runs a band of 12 broodmares with bloodlines that go back to foundation sires such as Little Joe Springer, Three Bars and Leo. These mares have been crossed back on stallions with bloodlines from Great Pine, Doc Bar, Poco Bueno and Bueno Chexnic. Now we are using stallions by Bold and Beautiful, Shining Spark and Starlights Wrangler to continue producing athletic, sound, good-minded horses suitable for almost any performance event. For decades these ranch-raised broodmares have been selected for soundness, disposition, reproductive efficiency, and mothering ability.
We have never offered an opportunity to select from two of our top yearling geldings. We are excited about the future both Jace and Steston have and the potential they offer. Please feel free to call us with any questions.

Jace is one of the first foals by Shiners Lil Lefty “Lefty” and out of Teqita Kaycee Cat. “Lefty” is by Shining Spark, producer of offspring earning over $10 million in multiple events ranging from roping to reining. Lefty’s dam earned over $110,000 in the show pen and has produced money earners over $200,000. Jace’s dam “Kaycee” is one of my favorite young mares going back to the Palo Duro Cat, Night Train cross that is proving to work well for us. Jace is super laid back and wants to be good all the time. He is curious and is the first one to walk up to you in the pen. He is AQHA Ranching Heritage eligible and should make a great horse either to go show or use on the ranch. Both sire and dam are 6 panel N/N.

AMERICAN ANGUS ASSOCIATION SELECTION TOOLS
Expected Progeny Difference (EPD), is the prediction of how future progeny of each animal are expected to perform relative to the progeny of other animals listed in the database. EPDs are expressed in units of measure for the trait, plus or minus. Interim EPDs may appear on young animals when their performance has yet to be incorporated into the American Angus Association National Cattle Evaluation (NCE) procedures. This EPD will be preceded by an “I”, and may or may not include the animal’s own performance record for a particular trait, depending on its availability, appropriate contemporary grouping, or data edits needed for NCE.
Birth Weight (BW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit birth weight to his progeny compared to that of other sires.
Weaning Weight (WW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit weaning growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires.
Yearling Weight (YW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit yearling growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires.
MATERNAL
Maternal Milk (Milk), expressed in pounds of calf weaned, is a predictor of a sire’s genetic merit for milk and mothering ability in his daughters. In other words, it is the part of the calf’s weaning weight attributes to milk and mothering ability.
Heifer Pregnancy (HP), is a selection tool to increase the probability or chance of a sire’s daughters becoming pregnant as first–calf heifers during a normal breeding season. A higher EPD is the more favorable direction, and the EPD is reported in percentage units.
Calving Ease Maternal (CEM), expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births, with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in first-calf daughters. It predicts the average ease with which a sire’s daughters will calve as first-calf heifers when compared to daughters of other sires.
MANAGEMENT
Pulmonary Arterial Pressure EPD (PAP), expressed in millimeters of Mercury (mmHg), with a lower EPD being more favorable indicating a sire should produce progeny with a lower PAP score to decrease the risk of progeny contracting high altitude disease most commonly experienced at 5,500 ft or greater in elevation.
CARCASS
Ribeye Area (RE), expressed in square inches, is a predictor of the difference in ribeye area of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.
Marbling (Marb), expressed as a fraction of the difference in USDA marbling score of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.
$VALUE INDEXES
$Value Indexes, expressed in dollars per head, are multi-trait selection indexes where a higher value suggests more profit. The $Value is an estimate of how future progeny of each sire are expected to perform, on average, compared to progeny of other sires if sires were randomly mated to cows and if calves were exposed to the same environment.
Maternal Weaned Calf Value ($M), expressed in dollars per head, predicts profitability differences in progeny due to genetics from conception to weaning by decreasing mature cow size and improving docility, foot structure and fertility while maintaining weaning weights consistent with today’s production.
Beef Value ($B), expressed in dollars per carcass, represents the expected average differences in the progeny post-weaning performance and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires. This index assumes commercial pro ducers wean all male and female progeny, retain ownership of these animals through the feedlot and sell on a carcass merit grid.
Combined Value ($C), expressed in dollars per head, which includes all traits that make up both Maternal Weaned Calf Value ($M) and Beef Value ($B) with the objective that commercial producers will replace 20% of their breeding females per year with replacement heifers retained within their own herd. The remaining cull heifer and steer progeny are then assumed to be sent to the feedlot where the producers retain ownership of those cattle and sell them on a quality-based carcass merit grid.
Across Breed EPD Adjustment Factors
EPDs across different breeds and database cannot be directly compared. The information below allows producers to adjust EPDs from different breeds to make them directly comparable.
Researchers at the Roman L. Hruska U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (MARC) in Clay Center, Neb., develop breed adjustment factors annually so that expected progeny difference (EPD) values can be compared across breeds. This process allows the estimation of across-breed EPDs, sometimes referred to as AB-EPDs. The across-breed EPD concept was introduced in the late 1980’s and continues to spark interest with commercial bull buyers using more than one breed of bull. This is mostly due to the fact that without adjustments, the within-breed EPDs cannot be used to directly compare animals of different breeds, since the values are typically computed separately for each breed.
Table 1 presents the most recent MARC adjustment factors that can be added to the EPDs of animals of different breeds, adjusting their EPD values to an Angus equivalent. The adjustment factors, given relative to an Angus equivalent of zero for each trait, take into account breed differences measured in the Germplasm Evaluation Project at MARC, as well as differences in breed average EPDs and base year. Animals of various breeds can be compared on the same EPD scale, after adding the specific adjustment factor to EPDs produced in the most recent genetic evaluations of the representative breeds. Use of these factors does not change differences in EPDs among bulls within a breed. However, it does affect differences among bulls of different breeds. The example below illustrates EPDs for Angus and Simmental bulls after across-breed adjustment factors have been applied to estimate AB-EPDs. The AB-EPDs for Simmental Bull #002 are on an Angus-equivalent scale and can be directly compared with values for Angus Bull #001.
It is important to remember that EPDs are not perfect when comparing bulls even within a breed; therefore, AB-EPDs are somewhat less accurate when comparing animals of different breeds. AB-EPDs are most effective for selecting bulls of two or more breeds for use in systematic crossbreeding. When evaluating the potential application of AB-EPDs as a tool for a particular breeding program, commercial cow-calf producers must first examine the needs of their individual operations. Producers must diligently review their breed choices and crossbreeding systems in order to provide the best sire selection match to cow genetic type, environment, feed resources, and market targets.

UNDERSTANDING HEREFORD EPDS
The American Hereford Association (AHA) currently produces expected progeny differences (EPDs) for 17 traits and calculates three profit ($) indexes. AHA’s genetic evaluation makes use of a Marker Effects Model that allows the calculation of EPDs by incorporating the pedigree, phenotypic and genomic profile of an animal. Animals that have a genomic profile will be denoted with a GE-EPD logo..
Calving Ease — Direct (CED)
CE EPD is based on calving ease scores and birth weights and is measured on a percentage. CE EPD indicates the influence of the sire on calving ease in females calving at 2 years of age. For example, if sire A has a CE EPD of 6 and sire B has a CE EPD of -2, then you would expect on average if comparably mated, sire A’s calves would be born with an 8% more likely chance of being unassisted when compared to sire B’s calves.
Birth Weight (BW)
BW EPD is an indicator trait for calving ease and is measured in pounds. For example, if sire A has a BW EPD of 3.6 and sire B has a BW EPD of 0.6, then you would expect on average if comparably mated, sire A’s calves would come 3 lb. heavier at birth when compared to sire B’s calves. Larger BW EPDs usually, but not always, indicate more calving difficulty. The figure in parentheses found after each EPD is an accuracy value or reliability of the EPD.
Weaning Weight (WW)
WW EPD is an estimate of pre-weaning growth that is measured in pounds. For example, if sire A has a WW EPD of 60 and sire B has a WW EPD of 40, then you would expect on average if comparably mated, sire A’s calves would weigh 20 lb. heavier at weaning when compared to sire B’s calves.
Yearling Weight (YW)
YW EPD is an estimate of post-weaning growth that is measured in pounds. For example, if sire A has a YW EPD of 100 and sire B has a YW EPD of 70, then you would expect on average if comparably mated, sire A’s calves would weigh 30 lb. heavier at a year of age when compared to sire B’s calves.
Maternal Milk (MILK)
The milking ability of a sire’s daughters is expressed in pounds of calf weaned. It predicts the difference in average weaning weights of sires’ daughters’ progeny due to milking ability. Daughters of the sire with a +14 MM EPD should produce progeny with 205-day weights averaging 24 lb. more (as a result of greater milk production) than daughters of a bull with a MM EPD of -10 lb. (14 minus -10.0 = 24 lb.). This difference in weaning weight is due to total milk production during the entire lactation.
Maternal Milk & Growth (M&G)
Maternal Milk & Growth reflects what the sire is expected to transmit to his daughters for a combination of growth genetics through weaning and genetics for milking ability. It is an estimate of daughters’ progeny weaning weight. A bull with a 29 lb. M&G EPD should sire daughters with progeny weaning weights averaging 19 lb. heavier than progeny of a bull’s daughters with a M&G EPD of 10 lb. (29 minus 10 = 19 lb.). It is equal to one-half the sire’s weaning weight EPD, plus all of his MM EPD. No accuracy is associated with this since it is simply a mathematical combination of two other EPDs. It is sometimes referred to as “total maternal” or “combined maternal.”
Maternal Calving Ease (CEM)
MCE EPD predicts how easily a sires daughters will calve at 2 years of age and is measured on a percentage. For example, if sire A has a MCE EPD of 7 and sire B has a CE EPD of -3, then you would expect on average if comparably mated, sire A’s daughters would calve with a 10% more likely chance of being unassisted when compared to sire B’s daughters.
Udder Suspension (UDDR)
UDDR EPDs are reported on a 9 (very tight) to 1 (very pendulous) scoring scale. Differences in sire EPDs predict the difference expected in the sires’ daughters’ udder characteristics when managed in the same environment. For example, if sire A has a UDDR EPD of 0.4, and sire B has a UDDR EPD of -0.1, the difference in the values is 0.5, or one-half of a score. If daughters of sires A and B are raised and managed in the same environment, you would expect half a score better udder suspension in daughters of sire A, compared to sire B.
Teat Size (TEAT)
TEAT EPDs are reported on a 9 (very small) to 1 (very large, balloon shaped) scoring scale. Differences in sire EPDs predict the difference expected in the sires’ daughters’ udder characteristics when managed in the same environment. For example, if sire A has a teat size EPD of 0.4, and sire B has a teat size EPD of -0.1, the difference in the
values is 0.5, or one-half of a score. If daughters of sires A and B are raised and managed in the same environment, you would expect half a score smaller teat size in daughters of sire A, compared to sire B.
Ribeye Area (REA)
REA EPDs reflect differences in an adjusted 365-day ribeye area measurement based on carcass measurements of harvested cattle. Sires with relatively higher REA EPDs are expected to produce better-muscled and higher percentage yielding slaughter progeny than will sires with lower REA EPDs. Ultrasound measurements are also incorporated into this trait and have been shown to be highly correlated with the performance of slaughter progeny. All data is expressed on a carcass scale.
Marbling (MARB)
MARB EPDs reflect differences in an adjusted 365-day marbling score (intramuscular fat, [IMF]) based on carcass measurements of harvested cattle. Breeding cattle with higher MARB EPDs should produce slaughter progeny with a higher degree of IMF and therefore higher quality grades. Ultrasound measurements are also incorporated into this trait and have been shown to be highly correlated with the performance of slaughter progeny. All data is expressed on a carcass scale.
Baldie Maternal Index (BMI$)
The Baldy Maternal Index is a maternally focused index that is based on a production system that uses Hereford x Angus cross cows. Progeny of these cows are directed towards Certified Hereford Beef. This index has significant weight on Sustained Cow Fertility, which predicts fertility and longevity of females. There is a slightly positive weight on Weaning Weight, Mature Cow Weight and Milk which accounts for enough growth but ensures females do not increase inputs. There is some negative emphasis on Dry Matter Intake, but a positive weighting on Carcass Weight which is anticipated to provide profitability from finishing of non-replacement females and castrated males. Marbling and Rib-eye Area are also positively weighted to keep the harvested progeny successful for CHB. This index is geared to identify Hereford bulls that will be profitable when used in a rotational cross with mature commercial Angus cows.
Brahman Influence Index (BII$)
The Brahman Influence Index is a maternally focused index that is based on a production system that uses Brahman x Hereford cross cows. Progeny of these cows are directed towards a commodity beef market since Certified Hereford Beef does not accept Brahman influenced cattle. This index has significant weight on Sustained Cow Fertility, which predicts fertility and longevity of females. There is a slightly positive weight on Weaning Weight, Mature Cow Weight and Milk which accounts for enough growth but ensures females do not increase inputs. There is some negative emphasis on Dry Matter Intake, but a positive weighting on Carcass Weight which is anticipated to provide profitability in finishing non-replacement females and castrated males. Marbling and Rib-eye Area are also positively weighted to keep harvested progeny successful for a variety of commodity based programs. This index targets producers that use Hereford bulls on Brahman influenced cows.
Certified Hereford Beef Index (CHB$)
The Certified Hereford Beef Index is a terminal sire index that is built on a production system where Hereford bulls are mated to mature commercial Angus cows and all progeny will be targeted for Certified Hereford Beef after the finishing phase. This index has significant weight on Carcass Weight to ensure profit on the rail. As well there is a positive weighting for Average Daily Gain along with a negative weighting on Dry Matter Intake to ensure efficient pounds of growth in the finishing phase. Keep in mind, this production system takes advantage of complimentary breeding with the commercial Angus cow. Although Marbling is weighted positively in this index, a positive weighting for Rib-eye Area and a negative weighting for Back Fat are a greater priority in this index to allow for optimum end-product merit. This is the only index that has no emphasis on fertility. Remember that no replacement heifers are being retained.
