4 Allied Genetic Resources is a business owned and supported by a group of committed cattle seedstock producers, but designed to promote the profitability of their customers. The future of genetic production and marketing will become more focused on customer service and increased profitability and less about the tradition of just selling bulls. Superior genetics must not only function to increase efficiencies at the ranch, they will need to be desired and differentiated in value by the beef industry. Allied is positioned to provide those types of services. Whether you are looking for genetics tailored to your commercial production environment and resources, or you are searching for profitable marketing options, we can help. The owners of Allied Genetic Resources are located in 16 states from California to Alabama and Montana to Texas and currently market more than 4500 bulls each year. This scope and selection helps to insure great selection and quality whether you need 1 or 100 bulls or any size group of replacement females. With nearly 2300 SimAngus bulls, 1100 Simmental, 800 Angus and Red Angus and 250 Balancer bulls marketed annually, Allied owners offer tremendous selection regardless of your genetic needs. Ultimately, the value of the allied group of producers is in their character and commitment to customers. This business rests firmly on the combined reputations of some of the highest quality people in the beef business. Independent farm and ranch families all with a proud tradition of standing behind the bulls and females they sell and working with the goal of commercial customer profitability. -2-

5 I m just buying a bull.right? Most of us don t really believe that, yet the gravity of the decisions associated with selecting the next generation of seed stock may be greater than you first think. All of us consider the calves these bulls might sire and the value they should return to the ranch. Most consider pricing bulls based on a projection of years of service hopefully 4-8 years barring injury and the calf performance we might expect them to sire. If you don t keep your own replacement heifers, this makes some sense. If like most you keep females, the long term effects of this year s buying decisions on ranch profitability may not be quite as obvious until we break it down based on the long term maternal value traits we are purchasing. Let s assume your operation purchases 4 bulls this coming spring of First calves born in spring of 2014 First daughters calving in spring of 2016 (First granddaughters calve in 2018) With any luck at 2 or more of these bulls are still breeding at age 7 (2019) Last calves born sired by these bulls in 2020 Last calf crop females have their first calves in 2022 (Their first daughters calve in 2024) In 2023 a substantial share of the 2-7 year old cows are daughters of the bulls purchased 10 years before. In the year 2031 there are still a few 11 and 12 year old daughters in your herd sired by the 2013 purchased bulls. In the year 2031 the granddaughters and great granddaughters of the bulls purchased 18 years ago still make up a substantial portion of the genetics of your herd. I know, most of us don t like to think about the year Seems like the Bi-Centennial was just a few years ago (actually 37 years!). If however your plans are to keep or make the beef business an important part of your families livelihood as far out as 2031, which most of us do, the bulls you purchase this year will still be an important piece of the profits you enjoy or the challenges you are still working through nearly 20 years from now. Sire selection is that important, so use all the tools available to make the best decisions you can every time! So, if you would like to see a snap-shot of your cow herd years from now in 2031, you need only spend some time with the seedstock herd you purchase bulls from. With the exception of a few differences created by environment, what you see is where you are headed! The size, disposition, body condition, udders, feet, calving ease, fertility, longevity, etc of your future cow herd is right there to see. Not just the mature cows either, make sure you look at the 2 and 3 year olds too and consider the direction your source is moving. That is why it is so crucial to choose a seedstock source that is headed where you want and need to be. SUGGESTED GUIDELINES FOR USING YEARLING BULLS: We are firm believers in the use of yearling bulls and feel it is one of the best years of their lives. It is a time when they are easy to manage and their only concern is breeding cows. We have found that yearling bulls that are managed carefully during the second year of their lives, not only do well, but they will perform better, over time. Below are some suggested guidelines for the care of yearling bulls. Upon delivery to your ranch, keep yearling bulls separate from older bulls and feed them a maintenance ratio of 5-8 lbs per head of grain and free choice hay. Reduce the amount of grain fed gradually, so that bulls are on straight hay or grass 2-4 weeks prior to the breeding season. Where possible, try to limit the bulls to days of pasture service the first year. At this time or as soon as possible remove the bulls and put them in separate pastures with plenty of good quality grass. It is best to achieve the growth and strength to compete with older bulls for feed and space. You will see the benefit of a little added cost and care of feeding a yearling bull by probably two or three more years of service from a well-managed and healthy bulls. -3-

The common base was a natural evaluation of the RAAA/ASA (Red Angus Association of America / American Simmental Association) genetic evaluation partnership. Though forming a common base will initially lead to some confusion, the boards of both organizations unanimously agreed that it was a positive step for the beef industry a step that allows producers to directly compare genetic predictions from the largest multibreed database in the world. As with any progress, there is change. Breeders and commercial producers will need to adjust to the new base. Much like converting from Fahrenheit to Celsius, it may be a struggle at first, however, over time we will all grow accustomed to the new scale. For example, look at the average EPDs of purebreds shown in this table to the right. The Changes to the base does not change the evaluation of animals; it just changes the magnitude of the EPD. IT has the same impact on all animals. Be sure to use the new percentile tables to develop a feel for the new EPD base. -4- NEW BASE COMPARISON PB EPD PB EPD average average spring spring CE BW WW YW MCE MLK MWW STAY DOC CWT YG MRB BF REA API TI 63 62

BELOW IS A QUICK REFERENCE TO AN EXPLANATION OF : Expected Progeny Differences EPD s are the most accurate and effective tool available for comparing genetic levels. In using the EPD differences between two sires EPD s represents the unit difference expected in the performance of their progeny. (Listed below are the units ASA EPD s are expressed in). (Average EPD s are on the bottom of the percentile table above ) Calving Ease (CE) percentage of unassisted births when used on heifers. Birth Weight (BW) pounds of birth weight. Weaning Weight (WW) pounds of weaning weight. Yearling Weight (YW) pounds of yearling weight. Maternal Calving Ease (MCE) percentage of unassisted births in first-calving daughters. Maternal Milk (MM) pounds of weaning weight due to milk. Maternal Weaning Weight (MWW) pounds of weaning weight due to milk and growth. Stayability (Stay) percent of daughters remaining in the cowherd at 6 years of age. Carcass Weight (CW) pounds of carcass weight. Yield Grade (YG) yield grade score. Yield grade is an indication of the yield of red meat within a carcass. It is calculated by using several factors including 1) fat thickness, 2) kidney, pelvic and heart fat. 3) hot carcass weight 4) rib eye area. A ( ) EPD is better. Marbling (MRB) marbling score. es: The last two columns in the EPD section are fairly new to the Simmental breed, but interesting, they are $ indexes. Though EPD s allow for the comparison of genetic levels for many economically important traits, they only provide a piece of the economic puzzle. That s where $ indexes blend EPD s & economics to estimate an animal s overall impact on your bottom line. All Purpose : (API) It is exactly what it says, all purpose. This index includes every trait that can be calculated: calving ease, pounds at weaning and yearling, keeping replacements back, milking ability and stayability, then the calf crop. It took into consideration, some being retained as replacements, then the rest being fed out and sold grade and yield. Terminal (TI): This index is to be used if all calves are going to a feedlot. It evaluates a sire only for use on mature cows with all calves put on feed and sold grade and yield. No other factors were figured in. Using API and TI: First determine which index to use. If you re breeding heifers and keeping replacements, use API. If all calves are going to the feedlot and finished, use TI.
