18th Annual Poppe Cattle Company Bull Sale 2023

Sale Schedule

WELCOME TO THE 2023 POPPE CATTLE COMPANY BULL SALE IN FALLON, MONTANA. THIS YEAR WILL BE OUR 6TH SALE IN FALLON, MONTANA SINCE CENTRALIZING OUR OPERATION THAT WAS ONCE SPREAD BETWEEN COLORADO, NEBRASKA AND WYOMING TO SOLELY IN EASTERN MONTANA.

IT WASN’T NECESSARILY A GOAL OF OURS TO HAVE CATTLE SPREAD QUITE SO FAR, BUT IN DOING SO, WE WERE ABLE TO REINFORCE OUR PASSION FOR CREATING A COW IDEAL FOR ANY ENVIRONMENT; FROM HIGH ELEVATION TO SEA-LEVEL, FROM THE MOUNTAINS TO THE PRAIRIES, OUR CATTLE HAVE THRIVED.

TO ASSIST WITH THIS DESIGN, WE HAVE UTILIZED AI PRACTICE ON OUR CATTLE SINCE THE 90’S. WE USE THE UTMOST DISCIPLINE IN SIRE SELECTION, MAINTAINING A STRICT CRITERIA DURING OUR SEARCH FOR OUT-CROSS GENETICS THAT PREDICTABLY IMPROVE THE HERD. THE SEARCH FOR SUCH A GENETIC PACKAGE IS ONGOING THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. WE MAKE SEVERAL POTENTIAL IMPACT SIRES EACH YEAR.

View The Bulls

DNA TESTING HAS BEEN APPLIED TO OUR PROGRAM SINCE IT’S AVAILABILITY. WE CURRENTLY USE THE IGENITY BEEF PROFILE; AN 18 TRAIT TEST. THERE ARE THREE SECTIONS: MATERNAL, GROWTH AND CARCASS. WE ALSO USE THE COAT COLOR, PARENTAGE AND BVD PI SCREENING. THE RANK PRODUCED BY IGENITY IS A 1 – 10 SCORING SYSTEM. FOR BW, LOWER NUMBER DESIGNATES MORE CALVING EASE. FOR THE OTHER TRAITS, THE HIGHER NUMBER TRANSLATE TO A HIGH LEVEL OF THE TRAIT TESTED.

OUR SELECTION PROCESS STARTS WITH 20% OF OUR BULL CALVES IN THE SPRING, AND WE CHIPPED AWAY AT THE PROSPECTS UNTIL WE LANDED AT 12% OF OUR TOP BULL CALVES THIS YEAR; A PROCESS THAT SPANNED FROM BRANDING TO SHIPPING TO THE CONCLUSION OF OUR TEST.

I HAVE OFTEN SAID, WE TEST FOR SOUNDNESS AND FERTILITY RATHER THAN TOO MUCH FLESH. A SUCCESSFUL TEST ALLOWS US TO MEASURE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE BULLS. THE END GOAL IS THE ABILITY TO DELIVER TO THE CUSTOMER, A HARDENED, SOUND MOVING BULL, CAPABLE OF SUSTAINING HIS CONDITION THROUGH THE FIRST BREEDING SEASON. WHEN THEY ARE TURNED OUT ON GRASS, WE WANT THEM TO HOLD UP AND BREED AGGRESSIVELY.

To take advantage of this option, give us a call. We will help you select your bulls as well as act as your agent. In past years we’ve handled orders for about 15-20 percent of the bulls in the sale with our . In only a few cases did I have to use the buyer’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: Ranch: (406) 778-6930 // Cell: (406) 740-2337

Delivery

Bulls will be delivered within 250 miles starting April 21st, 2023. Deliveries over 250 miles will be delivered to a central location where we will coordinate with the buyers for pick up.

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.

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 bulls sell unconditionally guaranteed to be free of all defects, and have been tested when necessary.

Fertility

The bulls will be fertility tested in April. If a sale bull does not pass a soundness or semen test and a bull of equal value is available to replace the sale bull that will be the process. If a bull is not available or suitable, the customer will be refunded. Dr. Terry hall provides a semen certificate which will accompany paperwork.

Epds

The Composites and Hybrids are assigned estimated EPDs by our in house calculations and then adjusted to compare with the AAA for your convenience.

Guarantee

Poppe Cattle Company stands 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

• refund in the event of death loss – or refund the difference between salvage and the original price paid.

• in the event of a neglected virus or infection the guarantee is voided.

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, Poppe Cattle Company 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. Poppe Cattle Company 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, Poppe Cattle Company retains 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.

Fertility, Guarantee & Shared Interest

Igenity profiles of non-registered bulls help you evaluate their genetic potential for maternal, performance and carcass traits. This makes it easy to review and focus on those making the biggest impact. Igenity reports on 16 traits to help you better select your bulls.

A progressive recipe for commercial producers Breed Complementarities & The PAP Gene

It has been said its harder to manage when times are good. In a market as this, that is evident. There is much to study in terms of calf premiums today. Could be worthwhile to kick the can past the high calf premiums and focus on increasing stability for future returns by progressing your factory of females.

For commercial producers, leveraging a program that increases quality and volume while decreasing inputs is the game we are in. Knowing I’ve said it before - hybrid vigor is the only “free lunch” in the cow business. The value of heterosis (hybrid vigor) in a cross-breeding program can add value in every cow in your factory. It’s a trait a producer can command every year, regardless of how or where you sell calves. Heterosis is the trusted building block to developing environmentally adapted females that we all strive for year after year. A program utilizing heterosis has an advantage of not only increased quality and pounds weaned on calves, but also a head start on strengthening the durability, efficiency and productivity of a cow herd.

In conjunction with heterosis, integrating low PAP tested sires on cross-bred females exposes additional attainable benefits. Research and experience proves as cattle get heavier in the finishing process, there is an increased incidence for loss in the fats by some animals that would be compromised by heart disease, even at moderate elevations of 3-4,000 feet in an arid feedlot environment. As the carcass heavies, the heart works harder in the same spirit it does under higher elevation pressure and duress.

That said, in terms of marketing cattle that work anywhere in the country, integrating low PAP bulls in your program - no matter the elevation - is a sure bet to increase your calves’ footprint and improve the survivability of your cattle in general - no matter the elevation of your headquarters or summer country, from sea level to tree-line.

In essence, the PAP gene increases the marketability and value of your cattle to work anywhere in the country. Couple the pap gene with a disciplined cross-breeding program focused on heterosis, and from start to finish, calf to cow, pasture to plate - these are mainstays in the bull program here at

With moving the operation solely to Montanawe were unable to test this year due to lack of elevation where the bull pairs pastured. We’re confident the bulls will PAP once acclimated at high elevation, and they are backed by our sale guarantee.

We look forward to seeing you at the sale this year! Best wishes for a great calving season.

-Vince Poppe

Composite & Hybrid Bulls Reference Sires

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 traits are evident.

The rule of thumb for increased wean weight when heterosis occurs in a calf due to cross-breeding is 10-12%. If the dam also carries heterosis in her system the increased resulting wean weight in offspring will naturally increase to 20-24%.

There are not many free-lunches in the Beef Industry. There are additional measurable benefits to incorporate heterosis in your replacement heifers. They tend to cycle earlier, are more apt to quality for high elevation (PAP test), perform at an accelerated level at the feed yard, 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 in our program.
