Nine Irons Seedstock Production Sale - CATALOG by Tri-State Livestock News - Farmer & Rancher Exchange

Last year we integrated PAP Testing into the Nine Irons Seedstock program, a widely accepted, proven tool for successful high altitude beef cattle ranching. In terms of marketing cattle, further benefits can be derived from integrating PAP tested cattle en route to any finishing program, at any elevation. Research has shown as cattle get heavier in the finishing process, there can be an increased incidence for loss in the fats by the same animals that would be compromised by heart disease, even at moderate elevations of 3-4,000 feet. As the carcass heavies, the heart works harder in the same spirit it must under higher elevation pressure and duress. With this relatively new finding, real value is seen by integrating low PAP tested bulls for any program - no matter the elevation. Whether producers operate at lower elevations of the eastern and mid-west plains or the high mountain ranches which crest over 7,000 feet - both herds are benefited by low PAP scoring genetics. While lower elevation ranches are an unlikely venue for Brisket Disease to occur, when the calves migrate to the grow yard, those plains calves will face the same challenges as the higher elevation mountain calves as they mature and fatten through the finishing process. Integrating low PAP scoring genetics expands the survivability for cattle, from the high mountain country, to the vast grassland plains, and into the grow yard. Dr Tim Holt has recommended a PAP score of 44 or less as the metric for low PAP testing bulls destined for the high country. In essence, realizing this tool could increase the marketability and value of your cattle to work anywhere in the country, from start to finish, pasture to plate - itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mainstay in our program here at Nine Irons Seedstock. We look forward to seeing you at the sale this year! Best wishes for a great calving season.

Welcome Welcome to the ninth annual Black Ranches, Inc Nine Irons Seedstock Bull Sale. Through the years the bull, heifer and horse numbers have fluctuated but one constant remains - the outstanding hospitality provided by Black Ranches, as sale hosts. Butch and Peg Black have the knack to put on a 36 hour welcome wagon. Peg has the best help with neighbors, friends and family answering the call. It has been said in print by some of the best and most experienced livestock representatives that this sale has the best hospitality in the business. I may be a touch bias in my assesment, but I agree. Butch recruits some of the local cowboys to help sort the bulls sale morning. If you are interested in any of the horses that sell after the bulls and heifers, come watch them sort the sale bulls. Tuesday at 1:00 pm MST the sale horses will be at the Watkin’s Ranch branding, weather permitting. The Nine Irons Producers wish to thank all of the neighbors, friends and family for all the help to put on this ½ day event, and special thanks to our friends Butch & Peg Black for hosting this outstanding production sale. As well as the great folks that make sale day happen - we’d like to thank our customers for your continued trust and dedication in our program here at Nine Irons Seedstock. We’re honored to have you as our partners in the livestock industry! The genetics represented at this year’s sale are the culmination of rapid and repetitive AI breeding at our producer’s operations. Large sire groups are possible only by executing dedicated AI practices, and state of the art genetics come from this type of commitment, and also assure constant and steady improvement. The Nine Irons bulls come into the sale ring in like sire groups of 2 to 6 at a time, primarily 4 with very similar stats, birth to yearling epds, and in many cases are ¾ brothers. We believe this opportunity allows our customers to put together uniformity, consistency and a more marketable program. When replacement selection time comes the heifers tend to be even and uniform. We invite you to take advantage of the pen wrap procedure and give serious thought to your selection criteria. One type and one kind is a great way to build a cowherd as well as when you market your product. Thanks to all of you for your continued interest and support. We look forward to helping you supply your herd with positive genetic improvement. We hope you will have the opportunity to attend. Stop by Chuck & Dick’s cafe for one of their great meals and Black’s Waterin’ Hole for refreshments. Hope to see you at the sale!

Ninth ANNUAL BLACK RANCHES INC., NINE IRONS SEEDSTOCK PRODUCTION SALE SIGHT UNSEEN PROGRAM: It is our hope that all of you interested in our genetics can make the trip to Antioch to evaluate the bulls in person. If you cannot get away for our sale we offer an effective alternative, the Sight Unseen Program. To take advantage of this option, call in your breed choice and bull criteria, along with your buying budget. We will help you select your bulls as well as act as your agent. In past years weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve handled orders for about 15-20 percent of the bulls in the sale with our Sight Unseen Program. In only a few cases did I have to use the buyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top bid price to purchase their bull and only just a few have gone unfilled. There are two principles we follow concerning the Sight Unseen Program: 1) Your bull(s) will be purchased with the actual flow of the auction. 2) Free delivery, volume discounts and our 100% guarantee all apply to the Sight Unseen Program.

Contact Vince Poppe for Sight Unseen Questions & Orders: Office/Feedlot: 308-762-2405 Cell: 308-763-1930 DELIVERY: We offer a $100 discount per bull for those hauled by the buyer within seven days of the sale. We encourage you to bring a trailer and haul them home on sale day. If you cannot haul within seven days, we will deliver the bulls at no cost to the buyer. We will deliver the bulls to a central point in your area (sale barn, rodeo grounds etc). VOLUME BUYING/PEN WRAP PROCEDURE: The bulls will sell in sire groups. We have lotted these bulls in uniform groups from two to seven head per pen. Pens may not be wrapped until the sale is made. The winning bidder can buy any combination he chooses from the pen, or the entire pen by choosing the pen wrap. A graduated percentage will be discounted from each bull purchased in volume for example; buyer #21 chose to wrap a three head pen, he deducts 1% from the first bull, 2% from the second and 3% from the third and so on. It is our intent to allow all of the buyers the opportunity to purchase any bull in the sale. The winning bid has control to purchase any portion of or all bulls in a pen. TERMS AND CONDITIONS: BIDDING DISPUTES: The Auctioneer in charge will settle any disputes as to bids, and his decision on such matters shall be final. TERMS: The terms of the sale are cash or check, with proper ID, the right of property shall not pass until after settlement is made. All settlements will be made with the clerks of the sale immediately following the conclusion of the sale and before any cattle will be released from the facility. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Changes of information contained in this catalog relating to the animals offered for the sale will be announced from the auction block and such announcements shall take precedence. Errors discovered in the catalog will be corrected by announcements at sale time and such corrections will take precedence over printed matter in this catalog. All ultrasound, GeneSTAR, and HD 50K results will be available at registration counter prior to the sale. All bulls sell unconditionally guaranteed to be free of all defects, and have been tested when necessary.

Nine Irons Seedstock (NIS) Bull Test The Nine Irons Producers delivered the bulls to The Black Ranches, INC. Test Facility by October 10, 2013. The bull test commenced on November 2, 2013. The bull test ran for 98 days. The overall average daily gain was 3.9 lbs. The Nine Irons ration was developed by Dr. Brian Rudolph with Furst-McNess and is specifically designed to promote soundness and fertility. The bulls remain range ready and will make the transition from the test facility to grass in stride. Corn is an 8% ingredient in the bull ration. We continue to focus on functional bulls, in fit condition for the upcoming breeding season rather than added fat which causes a low level of endurance for the job at hand. EPDs The Registered Angus are assigned their EPDs by the American Angus Association (AAA). The Composites and Hybrids are assigned estimated EPDs by our in house calculations and then adjusted to compare with the AAA for your convenience. The red hybrids are adjusted to the Red Angus Association. GUARANTEE Black Ranches, Inc. and the Nine Irons Seedstock Producers stand behind the bulls. We guarantee these bulls through the first breeding season or September 15, whichever comes first. These bulls have been tested and developed to be sound breeders, with genetic lead time. If a bull proves to be unsound (a veterinarian’s evaluation is required for our records) - we have three options for warranty: • • •

replace your bull with an equal valued bull if available credit the buyer with the original purchase price plus 10% in the following sale refund in the event of death loss – or refund the difference between salvage and the original price paid.

SHARE SEMEN INTEREST REVENUE: We are selling revenue sharing and semen interest on all bulls. The bull is totally in your control and you get all the salvage value. In general, we retain the right to a share of semen sales revenue from the bull if at some time in the future semen sales become a possibility. If you sell the bull to another breeder, Nine Irons Seedstock retains semen interest. It’s unlikely that large amounts of semen will be sold from many bulls. The reason we are retaining interest in all the bulls is that a bull may be discovered later, after proving themselves. Bulls sold commercially may become popular at a later time, especially as carcass data is collected on their calves. If you purchase a bull and choose to collect semen for your in herd use, as an insurance policy, that semen is 100% yours. Nine Irons Seedstock may decide to collect the bull for our in herd use or to build a jointly owned semen bank for sale purposes. If you are not interested in collecting semen on the bull, Nine Irons Seedstock has the right to collect the bull for our own use, and in this case we will pay all collection and transporting expenses. Semen collection will be implemented at the convenience of the possession interest. We are selling 2/3 semen interest and full possession and salvage on all bulls selling in this catalog. 2014 Nine Irons Seedstock 8

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. Accuracy (ACC), is the reliability that can be placed on the EPD. An accuracy of close to 1.0 indicated higher reliability. Accuracy is impacted by the number of progeny and ancestral records included in the analysis. Growth 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. 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 EPD (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 EPD (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. Yearling Height EPD (YH), is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit yearling height, expressed in inches, compared to that of other sires. Scrotal Circumference EPD (SC), expressed in centimeters, is a predictor of the difference in transmitting ability for scrotal size compared to that of other sires. Carcass The new carcass EPDs are calculated from an integrated analysis of the Angus Herd Improvement Records (AHIR) carcass and ultrasound phenotypic databases. The genetic evaluation produces a single set of EPDs for carcass weight, marbling score, ribeye area and fat thickness. The units of measure are in carcass trait format and analyzed on an age constant basis. Carcass Weight EPD (CW), expressed in pounds is a predictor of the differences in hot carcass weight of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires. Marbling EPD (Marb), expressed as a fraction of the difference in USDA marbling score of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires. Ribeye Area EPD (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. Fat Thickness EPD (Fat), expressed in inches, is a predictor of the differences in external fat thickness at the 12th rib (as measured between the 12th and 13th ribs) of a sires’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires. Maternal Calving Ease maternal (CEM), is 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. Maternal Milk EPD (Milk), is a predictor of a sire’s genetic merit for milk and mothering ability as expressed in his daughters compared to daughters of other sires. In other words, it is that part of a calf’s weaning weight attributed to milk and mothering ability. Mature Weight EPD (MW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of the difference in mature weight of daughters of a sire compared to the daughters of other sires. Mature Height EPD (MH), expressed in inches, is a predictor of the difference in mature height of a sire’s daughters compared to daughters of other sires. Cow Energy Value ($EN), expressed in dollars savings per cow per year, assesses differences in cow energy requirements as an expected dollar savings difference in daughters of sires. A larger value is more favorable when comparing two animals (more dollars saved on feed energy expenses). Components for computing the cow $EN savings difference include lactation energy requirements and energy costs associated with differences in mature cow size. $Value Indexes $Value Indexes, are multi-trait selection indexes, expressed in dollars per head, to assist beef producers by adding simplicity to genetic selection decisions. The $Value is an estimate of how future progeny of each sire are expected to perform, on average, compared to progeny of other sires in the database if the sires were randomly mated to cows and if calves were exposed to the same environment. Weaned Calf Value ($W), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for pre-weaning merit. $W includes both revenue and cost adjustments associated with differences in birth weight, weaning direct growth, maternal milk, and mature cow size. Feedlot Value ($F), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for post weaning merit compared to progeny of other sires. Grid Value ($G), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for carcass grid merit compared to progeny of other sires. Beef Value ($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. All Angus Bulls are Guaranteed Defect-Free. 2014 Nine Irons Seedstock 11

Black Composite & Hybrid Bulls THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN OPTIMAL HERD OF COWS THAT FIT THE ENVIRONMENT THEY WILL CALL HOME IS THE MISSION OF ANY SUCCESSFUL STOCKMAN. YOU HAVE NUMEROUS AREAS OF CONCERN AS THE ATTEMPT IS MADE TO ACCOMPLISH THIS ULTIMATE GOAL. ON AVERAGE THE DEEP BODIED, EASY FLESHING TYPE IS MORE SUCCESSFUL IN HARSH ENVIRONMENTS. BY THE SAME TOKEN SHE WILL EXCEL IN ANY COUNTRY THAT IS A STEP UP FROM WHAT BE CONSIDERED HARSH. THIS PHYSIOLOGICAL TYPE CAN AND USUALLY DO CARRY A HIGHER LEVEL OF IMF (MARBLING). WHEN FEMALES MARBLE AT A YOUNGER AGE THEY ALSO TEND TO CYCLE EARLIER. ADD HETEROSIS, AND BOTH OF THE TRAITS ARE AIDED. THE RULE OF THUMB FOR INCREASED WEAN WEIGHT IF HETEROSIS OCCURS IN A CALF DUE TO CROSSBREEDING IS 10-12%. IF THE DAM ALSO HAS HETEROSIS IN HER SYSTEM THE INCREASED RESULTING WEAN WEIGHT WILL INCREASE TO 20-24%. THERE ARE NOT MANY FREE LUNCHES IN THE BEEF INDUSTRY. THERE ARE OTHER UNSEEN REASONS, AND SELDOM MEASURE BENEFITS TO INCORPORATE HETEROSIS IN YOUR REPLACEMENT HEIFERS. THEY TEND TO CYCLE EARLIER, ARE CERTAINLY MORE APT TO QUALIFY FOR HIGH ELEVATION (PASS A PAP TEST), AND GET A LONGEVITY BOOST OF A YEAR OR TWO. THE RESULTS OF MULTIPLE GENERATIONS OF TRAIT MANAGEMENT DURING SIRE SELECTION FOR AI BREEDING HAS PROVEN TO BE WORTHWHILE. YOU WILL OBSERVE A NOTICEABLE TREND TO CALVING EASE, HIGH PERFORMANCE, ADDED CARCASS VALUE AND MODERATE MATURE SIZE. DURING LATE SEPTEMBER WE PAP TESTED 90 COMPOSITE AND HYBRID BULL CALVES AT ALTITUDE. ONE BULL WITH A BAD INFECTION SCORED HIGH, ONE BULL SCORED 46, ANOTHER 45, WHICH WERE BORDERLINE. ALL OF THE OTHERS PASSED AND ARE QUALIFIED FOR THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS. BREED COMPOSITION AND HETEROSIS ARE MAJOR CONTRIBUTORS TO THE SUCCESS OF THESE LOW PAP SCORES.

THE AVERAGE ADG FOR this 21H PEN IS 4.1 LBS. THE AVERAGE IMF PERCENT IS 3.14% WHICH PLACES THIS PEN OF FOUR BULLS IN THE TOP 33%. THE AVERAGE BIRTH DATE IS FEBRUARY 26, WITH AN AVERAGE YEARLING WEIGHT OF 1223 LBS, AS OF FEBRUARY 26. BY SALE TIME THIS PEN OF MATURE BULLS WILL WEIGH AN AVERAGE OF 1346 LBS PLUS OR MINUS A BIT. THE CONCLUSION IS THIS - IF YOU TURN THESE FOUR BULLS INTO 100-150 HEAD THE AVERAGE COW WILL GET BRED.

THE AVERAGE LONGEVITY WILL ADD A YEAR OR TWO FOR EACH REPLACEMENT RETAINED. THE AVERAGE CONCEPTION RATE WILL CREEP UP, CONSEQUENTLY THE AVERAGE INCOME WILL INCREASE!

Bred close up with a hard to find pedigree. 14.3 hands. UTD on shots and worming, good to shoe. Call to try or for questions 308-760-0897.

Fritz is a coming 5 year old grade ranch used gelding. He has doctored cattle in the pasture, moved a lot of cattle, drug calves to the fire and has pulled a lot of heat during AI time and Embryo transfer time. He has worked the alley taking cattle to the tub, you can get gates off of him, work a flag off him. My 12 year old daughter and 6 year old son have rode him quite a bit. He is very gentle on the ground and in the saddle. He stands about 14 1/2 h, very easy to get on. Especially when you have winter time clothes on!
