4 Sale Book Information GENOMIC ENHAN s (GE S): All LeDoux Ranch bulls have been DNA tested. GE s provide our buyers with the most up to date information as possible for the sale offering. ADVANTAGES TO THE BUYER WITH GE s: Make better bull buying decisions DNA testing is not affected by environment Greater con dence in your seedstock supplier Select replacement heifers and potential donor dams with more confidence Get s with ACC values equal to or greater than a lifetime of progeny Find maternally focused bulls that will produce superior replacement females Select superior young sires that will accelerate genetic improvement Identify sires to use for specific corrective mating situations More accurately select sires that excel in feedlot and carcass traits, especially marbling Choose bulls that can be confidently used on replacement heifers Get more accurate s on bulls and females to years sooner PROGENY EQUIVALENTS FOR GELBVIEH GENETIC PROFILES WITH GE S Trait GGP Adds Progeny Progeny Progeny Progeny Progeny Progeny 7 Progeny Progeny Progeny Progeny DESCRIPTIONS IN THE SALE BOOK: : Calving ease direct, percent of unassisted births of a bull s calves when he is used on heifers. A higher number is favorable, meaning better calving ease. This can be vital to a rancher looking to decrease the amount of calves pulled in his herd. : Birth weight, predicts the difference, in pounds, for birth weight of the calf. : Weaning weight, predicts the difference, in pounds, for weaning weight (ad- justed to age of dam and a standard days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to weaning. : Yearling weight, predicts the expected difference, in pounds, for yearling weight (adjusted to a standard days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to yearling. : Milk, the genetic ability of a sire s daughters to produce milk expressed in pounds of weaning weight. : Total maternal, an index that combines growth and milk information as a prediction of the weaning weight performance of calves from a sire s daughters. As an index, this value is not reported with an accompanying accuracy. A greater value means a mother that returns comparatively higher weaning weights on her calves. GELBVIEH AND BALANCER BREED AVERAGE s: GELBVIEH NON-PARENT s : Calving ease maternal, represented as percent of unassisted births in a sire s first-calving daughters. A higher number represents more favorable calving ease. This is important to a rancher s bottom line because it predicts which animals produce daughters with a genetic pre-disposition to calve unassisted as heifers. : Yield grade, differences in yield grade score, which is a predictor of percent re- tail product. Smaller values suggest that progeny will have a better lean to fat ratio. : Carcass weight, differences in pounds of hot carcass weight, adjusted to an industry standard age endpoint. : Ribeye area, differences in ribeye area in inches between the th and th rib. Greater ribeye areas are preferable. : Marbling, predicts the differences in the degree of marbling within the ribeye as expressed in marbling score units. Greater marbling numbers are preferable and are an indicator of higher carcass quality grades. : Feeder profit index, an economic selection index designed to aid producers in selecting sires whose progeny will perform in the feedlot and are sold on grade and yield. Well ranking sires for have higher marbling and carcass weight than their contemporaries. As a terminal index, little emphasis is put on maternal traits such as stayability and calving ease. preferable and are an indicator of higher carcass quality grades.

5 LeDoux Ranch Wins Big in Gelbvieh Carcass Contest (American Gelbvieh Association) LeDoux Ranch of Agenda, Kansas, took home high honors including, top value steer and top carcass steer in the inaugural American Gelbvieh Foundation (AGF) Steer Challenge and Scale and Rale Sire-Identified Carcass Contest. The AGF Steer Challenge was a competition amongst individual Gelbvieh and Balancer-influenced steers in which the judging criteria focused on average daily gain in the feedyard, carcass value and overall top value animal, which combined average daily gain and carcass value. The Steer Challenge gives an opportunity for participants to donate a steer to the AGF. All proceeds from the donation go toward research and development within the Gelbvieh breed. The AGF Sire-Identified Carcass Testing Contest judges individuals steers, which were in a group of three or more animals from the same contemporary group, on these same qualities and also awarded a top-performing pen. In its first year, the AGF saw nine ranches participating with a total of animals on feed. LeDoux Ranch took home a total of $,0 in prize winnings for their steers performance in these contests. LeDoux s winning steer in the AGF Steer Challenge took home top carcass value and top value animal. This steer was sired by SGRI Jacked Up Z. The same steer also took home top accolades in the Balancer division of the Scale and Rale contest including second highest average daily gain at.7 pounds per day, top carcass value at $, with a,0 pound hot carcass weight and a. in ribeye. This steer also took home top value Balancer animal with a value of $,, USDA Yield Grade. and a quality grade of USDA Choice when harvested in July. The AGF continues to help advance the Gelbvieh breed through its support of research and development. For this reason, the AGF launched its first ever Steer Challenge and Scale and Rail Sire-Identified Carcass Testing Contest. These two projects together provide the information and funds necessary to generate data sets to advance Gelbvieh carcass merit.

6 MAKING THE GRADE Balancer cattle that we have had the opportunity to feed have stayed healthy throughout the feeding period, they ve gone on feed fast, they ve performed very well and they ve hung up on the rail as good as any that we ve fed. In we had 0% Choice or better, % went Prime, and % went to branded beef programs with upper two-thirds choice criteria. We would be happy to take cattle like that all year long. - Jesse Landin McClymont Feedyard, Holdrege, NE MEETING MODERN INDUSTRY DEMANDS. ADDING THE POUNDS Gelbvieh-influenced cattle provide added carcass weight and at the end of the day we re still paid on pounds. They also add ribeye, more gaining ability and feed efficiency, all things that are highly valuable. -Bill Tucker Tucker Family Farms, Amherst, VA DELIVERING THE VALUE I really like the Balancer for their rate of gain and their muscling. I do buy some linebred Angus and when I compare them to my Balancers there is a definite difference in rate of gain and muscling. I watch my marbling very closely and I see no effect of lower quality grade. With so much linebreeding going on, we lose that heterosis which is that extra little kick that we don t have to do anything, it s just there! -Scott Hamilton Hamilton Farms, Hitchcock, SD Gelbvieh are #.7lbs Average daily gain in the feedyard. Reported by McClymont Feedyard, an Innovative Livestock Services Feedyard for percent retail product (U.S. Meat Animal Research Center, progress report #) Many feedyards have reported Balancer-sired cattle that grade 0% Choice or better

27 The Maternal Edge on Efficiency Gelbvieh cows excel in Stayability according to research conducted at ado State University. (Brigham B.W., et al. Stayability to alternate ages. 07) Fertility is one of the most valued Gelbvieh traits among commercial cattle producers. # for smallest mature cow size and are the Gelbvieh ranks earliest to mature of the seven major beef breeds. (U.S. Meat Animal Research Center, progress report #) IN TODAY S CATTLE MARKET, WITH TIGHT PROFIT MARGINS, MATERNAL EFFICIENCY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER. A COW THAT CONSUMES LESS, PRODUCES MORE AND STAYS IN THE HERD LONGER EQUATES TO MORE MONEY IN YOUR POCKET. LOWER BIRTH WEIGHTS, HEAVIER WEANING WEIGHTS Gelbvieh females wean heavier calves with lower birth weights. Birth Weight Year MORE POUNDS OF CALF Some of the ranches I have been buying bulls for are on a crossbreeding program...i try to buy those bulls as moderate and sound as I can and if you go back and look at those females in production you will see,0 pound cows weaning 0 pound calves which I think is fantastic. - Don MacLennan Valhalla Ranch, Byers, CO Weaning Weight
