Producing Bulls That Meet the Demands of the Industry

Friends & Fellow Cattlemen…

Welcome to our 11th Annual Performance Genetics “Meat and Guts” Bull Sale.

When we started this sale, we offered a blend of Salers and Angus genetics with some purebred Angus and Salers bulls included in the genetic mix. Today we continue to offer the same proven performance genetics. Be it in the pasture or in the feedlot, we look for genetics that lead the way into the future.

Gary Ward with children Madelyn, John, James & Katie

We start with sound, productive cows that are raised in a practical manner. We select for foot soundness, body type, fertility and performance. I have worked on this selection process for 40 years. I have culled cows that don’t meet the standards that we have set. Let me explain. Our cattle spend the summer here in the Carson Valley. They are trucked over to Clements, California, for the winter. We calve in August and wean calves when they arrive back in the Carson Valley. The bulls are held over on grass for the summer and then shipped to Snyder Livestock, Yerington, Nevada, in September. This allows us to evaluate the bulls during the summer months. We evaluate for feet and legs, dispositions are checked and evaluated, and under achieving bulls or non-fertile bulls are culled. The same can be said about the cow herd.

All the Angus bulls have been DNA tested, ultrasounded, and will have genomic-enhanced EPDs if not available at catalog time.

They have passed a fertility examination and are sifted for soundness. We will have updated information available sale day.

Please feel free to contact us if we can be of assistance.

I’m pleased again to have David Medeiros / Rancho Casino and David Dal Porto / Dal Porto Livestock to be part of the sale.

They bring a lifetime of experience in the Angus business to the sale. They are outstanding producers and leaders in the cattle industry. I have had the privilege of working with them for close to 30 years.

We will continue with the video format of selling the bulls. 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 sale starts at 1 p.m. on Sunday, February 19th. Lunch will be served at 12 noon. The bulls can be viewed on Saturday, the day before the sale. We look forward to visiting with you. Thank you for your support and for your confidence in our breeding program. We appreciate the opportunity to supply your seedstock needs. Please feel free to contact us if you have questions.

See you on sale day!

About EPDs

The available Expected Progeny Difference (EPD) numbers are included in the catalog and were current as of 1/26/17, 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 an-imal’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.

Driviing the science of betteer breeding There’s little room fo for error in the cattlee business. Producers need th he most advanced inffo ormatio on to make smart selection deecisions, and Angus Geneticss Inc. (AGI) provides it throu ugh genomic-enhanced expected progeny diffferences (GE-EPDs).

GE-EPDs ha havve become the industry stan ndard fo for herd improvement, building on decades off scieence-backed genetic evaluation tools t originated and maintaiined through the American Angus A Association®, ho home to the largest and evergrowing sin ngle breed beeff cattle databas ngle-breed database. se se.

EPDs that traditionally t contained all peedigree, perfo formance and pro ogeny inffo ormation now also include results from avvailable geenomic, or DNA, tests. Breeders who use genomic techno ology give buyers access to AG GI-generated GE-EPDs that provide: Increased predictabilittyy and decreased d risk fo for young youn ng and unpr unproven animals duee to enhanced accuracy off EPDs Better characterization of of genet g ics fo for difficult-to-m measure perfo formance traits ( ucch (s h as car carcass traits, t it maternal m t l tr t aits it and d fe feed d effici ffi iency) i ) The abilittyy to t make morre rapid progress fo for traits th hat are important to yyou, ou, duee to: · more accurate seleection · easier identificatio on off genetic g outliers · the abilittyy to t prop pagate young young animals w with co onfidence earlier in their lives ves e In fact, GE--EPDs on unproven animals have the same amount off ac accuracy as iff they the had recordeed 7-24 calves, depending on the trait.

Ask your your b brreeder, refe fer to the registratio on paper, or look ffo or the AGII GE-EPD logo or those off pa par artnering labs Zoetis (HD50K, i550K) or GeneSeek (GGP-HD D, GGP-LD).These images ind dicate animals fo for which low w-density or highdensity gen nomic testing has been condu ucted and incorporated by AG GI into GE-EPDs.
