Producing Bulls That Meet the Demands of the Industry!

Friends & Fellow Cattlemen…

Welcome to the 10th Annual Performance Genetics “Meat and Guts” Bull Sale. I’m excited to see the snowpack on the mountains surrounding the ranch. It eases the concern for water this coming spring and summer. There should be plenty of good grass for our cattle. We continue to strive to produce bulls that meet the demands of our industry.

From left: John, Katie, James, Gary & Madelyn Ward

I’m excited this year to have Rancho Casino and Dal Porto Livestock to be part of our sale. They are outstanding breeders of Angus cattle. I have enjoyed working with them for the past 25 years. They bring experience and leadership to the Angus business and the livestock industry.

This year we have 50K DNA on the Angus bulls and Igenity DNA on the Salers bulls, listed in the catalog on pages 18 and 19. Ultrasound data on all the bulls will be furnished sale day. We evaluate the bulls for soundness and fertility.

This allows us to offer a full guarantee on the bulls for the first year. No bulls carrying AM or NH will sell in the sale.

We will continue to sell the bulls using the video format. John Dickinson and Jake Parnell will be with us again to handle the internet sale. They bring a full service of management, specializing in purebred and commercial livestock marketing. The bulls will be available to view on Saturday, February 20th, at the ranch.

The sale will begin at 1:00 pm on Sunday, February 21st, with lunch being served at 12 noon. Please contact us any time if you have questions. We look forward to visiting with you. Thank you so much for your support and for your continued confidence in our breeding program. We appreciate the opportunity to supply your seedstock needs.

Sale Terms & Conditions

Bulls will sell under Suggested Terms and Conditions of their respective breed association—either the American Salers Association or the American Angus Association. Terms of the sale are cash, cashier’s check or personal check, payable during or immediately following the sale. Bulls will not be released until after settlement has been made.

Breeding Guarantee

Bulls will be semen checked with a passing grade and are guaranteed breeders. Guarantee is limited to purchase price. We reserve the right to have our veterinarian re-examine any bull examined by a purchaser’s vet and claimed to be a non-breeder. No guarantee is given that semen collected from a bull will freeze. All bulls sell with a one-year unconditional guarantee. Yearling weights and ultrasound data will be available sale day on the sale supplement.

Trucking

The available Expected Progeny Difference (EPD) numbers are included in the catalog and were current as of 1/27/16, as reported by the individual’s association of registry. EPD is the prediction of how future progeny of each animal are expected to perform in each of the traits listed, relative to the progeny of other animals listed in the breed database. EPDs are expressed in units of measure for the trait, plus or minus. Performance records allow you to compare individuals of the same herd; EPDs allow you to compare individuals within a breed. EPDs do not allow for comparison of individuals of different breeds.

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. Calving Ease Direct (CED) is expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births, with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in first-calf heifers. It predicts the average difference in ease with which a sire’s calves will be born when he is bred to first-calf heifers. A higher number indicates greater potential for calving ease.

Birth Weight (BW) (pounds) is based on the measured birth weight of progeny, adjusted for dam age. The lower the value, the lighter the calf at birth and the lower the likelihood of a difficult birth. This is particularly important when selecting sires for use on heifers.

Weaning Weight (WW) (pounds) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 120 and 280 days of age. Values are adjusted to 205 days and for age of dam. This EPD is the best single estimate of an animal’s genetic merit for growth to early ages.

Yearling Weight (YW) (pounds) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 320 and 440 days of age, adjusted to 365 days and for age of dam. This EPD is the best single estimate of a sire’s genetic merit for postweaning growth.

Milk (pounds) is an estimate of an animal’s milking ability. For sires, this EPD indicates the effect of the daughters’ milking ability, inherited from the sire, on the weaning and yearling weights of her calves.

Watch the sale & bid online!

We will be glad to assist you in making the best possible trucking arrangements. We are offering free delivery to a central location up to 500 miles.

Registration Certificates

Bulls will be transferred through the respective breed association to the buyer at the seller’s expense. Each buyer must be sure to give the sale clerk the proper name and address for making transfers. An updated certificate of registration will be mailed to the new owner at a later date.

Volume Discount All persons buying four or more bulls at the sale will receive a $100 discount off the total purchase price!

WHAT IS AN OPTIMIZER? The American Salers Association “Optimizer” Registry is a specific extension of the ASA Composite Registry Program. Optimizers offer commercial cattlemen a way to manage percent blood in their cow herds through the use of documented, seedstock quality composites, complete with EPDs. Cattle from 1/4 to less than 3/4 Salers ancestry fit the program, and all have performance data. To learn more, log on to www.salersusa.org

The Salers bulls have been DNA tested and will have genomic-enhanced EPDs. GE-EPDs on the Salers bulls were not available at catalog press time but will be provided on a supplement sheet along with ultrasound information sale day. Igenity test results are listed on page 19. For more information, read online at www.salersusa.org.

Ward Ranches 10th Annual Bull Sale • Sunday, February 21, 2016 • Gardnerville, Nevada

Why Salers?

Why Angus?

Why Not?

Ward Ranches purchased its first Salers bull at the Western Spotlight Salers Sale in Galt, California, some 30 years ago now. We had an Angus-based commercial cow herd, and Salers were new to the industry at the time. We tried them because of the calving ease and the marbling quality. We started with 25 to 30 virgin Angus heifers that we bred to this Salers bull, making the calves 50% Salers/50% Angus.

The following fall when we calved these heifers, we were surprised at the calving ease and the vigor in these calves. We were immediately sold on the two breeds being compatible with each other. The Angus and Salers offered both the maternal and carcass qualities that we wanted in our herd.

As we started to put together a purebred operation, we knew the qualities we had wanted in our commercial cattle operation, and we worked toward producing bulls that would work for the commercial cattleman. We have tried for generations now to build a cow herd that will produce bulls that pass on the traits that lead to profitability for you, the rancher.

We want to create moderate-framed individuals that are easy fleshing and carry a lot of extra rib (i.e., guts). They need to have the ability to process grass and convert it into pounds of flesh. Another goal was to produce cattle that have optimal feed conversion in the feedlot.

Our philosophy is like that of a supermarket. We need to produce a quality product to put on the auction block for the you, the shopper. We know that the Angus breed is known as the “Business Breed” and that the Salers breed is known as the “Balanced Breed.” Research has shown that both breeds demonstrate the traits for calving ease, maternal ability, weight gain, feedlot performance and carcass merit. These two breeds, Angus and Salers, complement each other. This sale offers you purebred Angus bulls, purebred Salers bulls and composite Angus/Salers bulls—whichever fits your individual program or preference.

“BALANCED BUSINESS”
