Benchmark Makin' the Grade Bull Sale

Page 1


We welcome each and every one to our 15th Annual Benchmark Bull Sale. We appreciate so much the confidence you have expressed in our program. After experiencing one of the driest years ever, 2010 turned out to be the wettest year ever. It was a trying year in some respects but moisture results in grass and feed and for that, we are very thankful. For those of you who sold your calves this fall, it was about $150 per calf better than last year and if you retained ownership, it appears the fat market will reward you. We fed a couple loads of Benchmark sired steers and were very pleased with how they gained; 4.32 pounds per day in the wettest conditions ever, and more pleased in how they graded. On the one load we shipped to Cargill, we could not get a grid price but 80% graded AAA and the balance graded AA, with 54% achieving CAB and 4% going sterling silver. That is quite a feat in that only 14% of cattle graded for CAB obtain the CAB grade. The second load we sent to Washington Beef. The steers had a pay weight of 1438 pounds and they achieved an overall Grid Premium of $28.18 per head and brought back $1340.32 per head. 4% graded Prime and 92% graded Choice. Our understanding is that Canadian cattle under COOL are not graded for CAB in the States; otherwise, we would have earned more premium, as the previous load went 54% CAB. It is good to know that your cattle get the job done. That is what it is all about, isn’t it? We encourage you to study the EPD’s throughout this catalogue; without them our cattle would be average. However, with them, we can achieve the results as noted above. In our opinion, being average is not good enough as increased costs make an average outfit marginal. Our program is simple – Angus cows that wean a calf year in and year out at 50% of her body weight or better, requiring minimal cost and care. Her calf must be able to go on and gain and grade. We believe our cattle must excel on pasture, in the feedlot and in the end, on the users plate. We take every step possible to prove our cattle. As you may be aware, there have been several genetic defects identified in Angus cattle over the years. The Canadian Angus Association identifies animals that have been tested for genetic defects and discloses such findings on the certificate of registration. Each bull selling is proven free of any and all genetic defects and is guaranteed as such. We said last year that the bulls are second to none and we feel the same way this year. With these bulls you can determine your destiny. We continue to lead the pack with functional cattle that make a difference. These bulls are guaranteed in every way. Do call us if we can be of assistance in any way. We invite you to visit anytime and hope to see you March 8th.

M i k e a nd Do u g M u n to n

Sincerely,

Doug Munton 403.328.6966 Mike Munton 403.394.4903

El ite Dams

The Canadian Elite Cow Report is an effort to identify superior cows in the Angus breed. Emphasis is placed on early puberty, breeding and early calving, followed by regularity of calving interval and above-average performance of the offspring. The Elite Cow Report requires a cow to have a minimum of three calves to determine her regularity of calving and ability to consistently produce calves with a superior weaning weight year after year. For specific Elite Cow requirements, turn to page 59. _________________________________________________

We had been looking for a 6807 son for some time, the great breeding bull that he is. He is the sire of so many great ones including Alberda Traveler 416, Connealy Dateline, Duff Encore, Rimrock, GDAR Traveler 011, GDAR Traveler 044, GAR Commitment, OCC Anchor, OCC Echelon, OCC Emblazon, T510, Sitz Traveler 9929, Woodhill Alliance and likely others that I have missed. And for daughters one could go on and on. Then when we came across a young son out of a true breeding gem, we knew we had to own Baron. Could turn out to be the best money we’ve spent on a bull. The dam of Baron, GAR EXT 704, is an own daughter of the immortal EXT. She is a flush sister to GAR Exaltation 3144 and the record valued GAR EXT 614 who sold one-half interest for $230,000. 704 has had embryo flushes sell for $40,000, pregnancies bring as high as $80,000 and produced a daughter at $170,000 valuation, plus many others. 704 as of spring 2008 had 33 daughters in production with a combined weaning ratio of 103, an IMF ratio of 103 and an REA ratio of 100 on 83 scanned progeny. Baron is perfect on his feet and legs, has a great hip and as good of a rear quarter as you’ll find. He is deep and wide based. He has ample performance with a 725 lbs. weaning weight and a 1288 lbs. yearling weight. He scanned a %IMF of 5.03 with a 13.4 REA and had a 38 cm scrotal. His EPD profile indicates above average growth and gainability as well as milk, and his carcass EPDs indicate good marbling and increased REA. _________________________________________________ - 3

This bull has caused a lot of excitement around here this summer. His dam is one of our very best, with four sons making our bull sales and one daughter retained. This momma cow deserves attention! One of only a handful of E161 daughters in all of Canada, she has had an $11,000 son to T-T, a $5,500 son to Bill Vernon and Frank Strimbold, a Survivor 545 son to Hiebert Ranches in Sale XII, a Prime Cut son to Bar X Ranch in Sale XIII and now, Lot 10. Note that E161 is the sire of BR Midland, the Midland Bull Test high seller at $202,000, the sire of the Grand and Reserve Grand Champion Cow with Calf at Denver 2007, as well as the sire of the high selling female at the 2007 Foundation Female Sale at $80,000. E161 gets things done right. On the bottom side, do note the 1905 cow, she is a donor cow extraordinaire for Mel Gibson’s Bear Tooth Ranch in Montana with two sons, Direction and Right Time 24J; valued members of The Accelerated Genetics roster. Study this calf carefully, he’ll sure work!

Payoff is a bull we bought in partnership with Ole Farms in the spring of 2005. We were looking for a bull that would moderate frame, leaving thick, deep, easy-doing offspring with carcass quality second-to-none. After his five crops of calves were tested, his EPDs have proven very, very desirable. Study them carefully, they are hard to beat. Sired by the carcass great and calving-ease sire Future Direction, who shows %IMF of +0.84 with a REA of +0.77, Payoff has lived up to every expectation. His calves are born so very easy and are the most vigorous calves we have encountered. Payoff is a paternal brother to the very recent $55,000 Grand Champion at the Denver Angus Sale, 2008. Payoff ’s dam has been reported to be at the very top of the list at Standard Hill. She is by RP 3RD Bushwacker, who is well known for his very productive females, as well as great WW and YW EPDs with carcass traits that reduce fat. It should be noted that Traveler 6G is a paternal brother to Gardens Prime Time, the sire of the No. 1 proven dam for IMF. We really feel Payoff has become a critical step in our quest to develop cattle that will thrive in our environment and move forward our goal of “makin’ the grade.” His sons have been very well accepted in our last three sales. Payoff has C A Future Direction 5321 - Sire of Payoff exceptional numbers with adequate performance, a great milk EPD and carcass genetics second-to none. Payoff has been tested NHF and AMF .

Efficiency is the bull selected by Mike and Myles Immerkar of Semex from the entire offering at Gardiners in the spring of 2007. He was described by Mark Gardiner as “one of the true power bulls of 2007.” His sire, an ABS roster bull, ranks at the top of the list with respect to every trait measured. His dam is a paternal sister to Select Sires’ Raindance bull who is renowned for thick sound females who have great udders with small teat size. The EXT 704 cow on the bottom side sold for $40,000 and has generated in excess of $750,000 in progeny sales and is a full sister to EXT 614 who sold for a valuation of $400,000. Efficiency’s numbers are hard to beat, his sons are the right kind and his daughters are keepers.

Our pursuit of efficient carcass cattle took us to Green Garden Angus, spring of 2008. There we found Prime Star 1029. As indicated above, his birth weight was low, his weaning weight was 63% of his mother’s weight and his average daily gain was 5.60 lbs./day giving him a 365D weight of 1597 lbs. His IMF scan ratioed at 113 and he had a scrotal of 42.4 cm. His 1110 lbs. dam is by Matrix, who ranks in the top 2% of the breed for Marbling. The Matrix daughters are keepers at Green Garden being moderate, easy fleshing, high scanning cattle that are at the top in decreased cow energy requirements with he himself showing a 15.93 $EN savings. The sire of 1029 is none other than the No. 1 Proven Marbling Sire Garden’s Prime Star who was the high-selling bull to Express and Monarch at the Green Garden 2005 sale. He recorded an IMF ratio of 177. His dam Jilt C242 S1 who is by T510 was the record-selling cow at $280,000 in the 2009 Express Ranches Big Event Sale. Prime Star 1029 had the highest GeneSTAR results of the sale with Quality Grade at 17.02 and scored six stars for feed efficiency. He is one of only eight 2007-born bulls on the Canadian registry that is 0.81 or better for Marbling. As a matter of interest, two others of the eight are Benchmark bulls. The ability to calve easy, grow and gain rapidly and efficiently to market weight, have a moderate mature size and hang up a superior carcass is all important to us; thus, the offering by Gardens Prime Star 1029.

Expected Progeny Differences Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) are statistics generated for individual cattle through national genetic evaluations. EPDs: • allow breeders to estimate a young animal’s breeding value – that animal’s value as a parent • allow a fair comparison of breeding value by removing environmental bias such as climate, feed and special management • the best tool available to compare animals between herds, countries and year of birth • help breeders make informed decisions regarding breeding stock selection by evaluating numerous traits such as growth-related traits (BW, WW, YW, Milk), carcass (REA,FAT, %IMF, etc.) and reproductive efficiency(CE, MCE, SC) • estimate the group performance of one parent compared to the group performance of another parent, assuming similar mates

To evaluate seedstock, use EPDs, pedigree and visual assessment. With EPDs, the concept of “intermediate optimums” works best. Selection for one trait or for extremes generally results in unexpected consequences due to genetic correlations – for example, intense selection for high yearling weight will also increase birth weight. Successful cattle breeding requires a thoughtful and balanced approach to optimize fertility, growth and carcass merit while improving profitability and efficiency.

Carcass Ultrasound With all the data that comes with each bull, I’m sure at times it must be overwhelming. In order to use body composition EPD’s of ultrasound data to their full potential, a breeder must have an understanding of the ultrasound terminology. Several of the ultrasound measurements are comparable to the familiar carcass measurements. The data is simply collected on yearling bulls and heifers instead of market ready steers. Take a step back from looking at the numbers and become comfortable with the terminology. RIB FAT: An external fat measurement taken between the 12th and 13th ribs - the location a carcass would be split into quarters in the coolerreported in inches. Rib fat is the main factor in the USDA Yield Grade equation. RIBEYE AREA (REA): An area measurement of the longissimus dorsi, or ribeye muscle - reported in square inches. This image tends to be the most difficult to collect and requires the most highly skilled interpreting technician. Both the rib fat and ribeye area measurements are taken from the same image. RUMP FAT: An external fat measurement taken from an image collected between the hooks and the pins of the animal, reported in inches. The rump fat measurement coupled with the rib fat measurement, is used to determine more accurately the overall external body fat, enhancing the accuracy of predicting percent retail product (PRP). In most cases, an animal will exhibit more fat over the rump than the rib due to physiological process of “laying on fat.” Therefore, more variation is often displayed in the rump fat measurements of a contemporary group than the rib fat. This image is highly repeatable and is the least difficult to collect or interpret. INTRAMUSCULAR FAT (%IMF): This measurement determines the amount of fat within the muscle (similar to marbling) and is reported in “%”. This measurement should be collected when cattle are maintaining a high level of nutrition. The field technician collects four images and the values generated by the interpreting software are averaged for an overall %IMF. The Angus Associations, both AAA and CAA have adopted the CUP (Centralized Ultrasound Processing) program for Ultrasounding Carcass Data and are using this information for formulating Carcass EPD’s. This is the 14th year we have provided ultrasound measurements as taken by certified technicians from Windy Ridge Livestock. We feel it is very important that you, our valued customer, know what is under the hide as that really does determine value. It has been determined through many studies that carcass traits are highly heritable and that feeding has only a marginal effect upon the resulting carcass - genetics determine carcass quality!

Red Basin EXT 45T5, alias, “Montana,” just gets better every day. We know of no other Red Angus bull that can compare with the economic data he puts up. His progeny will excel for carcass quality; they will on average, be 65 lbs heavier at a year of age and 44 lbs heavier at weaning. When the carcasses are graded, they will bring back Grid Premiums. It is real hard to find a Red Angus bull with the growth numbers combined with the REA and marbling numbers. They are just not out there. He comes from Basin Angus in Montana and brings some of the very best outcross genetics available. His sire traces to the Black breed giant N Bar Emulation EXT and features such Red genetics as Basin Sensation 702E, Cherokee Canyon 4912 and Glacier Logan. His sire also has a shot of Scotch Cap, QAS Traveler 23-4 and Rainmaker 340. On the dam’s side, she is an own daughter of the carcass giant Future Direction and further traces to Rainmaker 340, Willabar Gay Gordon 67A, PS Power Paly and Sayre Patriot. An unbelievable blending of the best of Black and Red Angus genetics. “Montana” himself is exactly what we are looking for in a Red Angus herdsire: ease of calving, growth and gainability, along with breed-leading carcass genetics. “Montana” himself ratioed 111 for weaning weight, 113 for yearling weight, 110 for %IMF and 105 for ribeye area. Take a good look at the breed-changing bulls by “Montana.”

We really like the genetics in this 816 bull that we call “Rollie.” He is moderate, very easy fleshing, deep and wide and has unbelievable carcass potential. He will increase REA and marbling and yet, take off extra fat. He sold to Phil Rowland at a $6,000 valuation in Sale XIII. The Rowlands are the best partners and people you could imagine.

FALL BORN LONG YEARLINGS These fall bulls are born pretty well September and October, making them 16-17 months of age sale day and near two years of age at breeding time. These bulls were weaned March 12, 2010; fed sileage and hay for sixty days and then put on grass until the end of July. They were weighed and scanned September 10th for their 365D weights and ultrasound results. These are genetically as good as it gets. Please refer to the reference sires as presented earlier in the book.

Other Information... Canadian Elite Cow Criteria : 1. The cow must be enrolled in the Canadian Angus Performance Program. 2. The cow must have a calf with a 205-day weight recorded within the past 18 months. 3. The cow must have her first calf no later than the withinherd average age of first calving plus 30 days. The within-herd average calving age is calculated individually for each herd. 4. The cow must maintain a regular calving interval. 5. The average of the cow’s first three calves’ weaning weight ratio must be at least 105. If she fails to do this with her first three calves, she can qualify later providing the average progeny weaning weight ratio is 105, and she meets the other requirements. 6. The cow’s calf must be in a contemporary group with no less than 10 herd mates to determine the weaning weight ratio. 7. The cow’s progeny must be sired by a registered Angus bull. 8. To continue to qualify each year, the cow must produce regularly (stay within the regular in-herd calving interval) and wean a calf that helps maintain or improve the average weaning ratio of 105. 9. Once a cow is designated an Elite Cow, she is always an Elite Cow, however she will not be published in a year where her index average drops below 105.
