2 Dear Friends, It has been a rewarding year at Ellingson Angus. We have been blessed with good grass and the best set of calves we have ever produced. We are excited to showcase the 2016 calfcrop at our ranch on Feb. 4 at our Real-World Genetics Sale. We welcome you to come anytime to evaluate the sale cattle and the cowherd that is responsible for the offering. It is always a pleasure to visit with you. This past year, we have been proud to see several Ellingson-raised sires rise to popularity and be selected for more A.I. usage around the globe. That s because Ellingson Angus genetics are performing for progressive commercial cattle producers and enhancing profit for the whole beef industry. We know that the best bulls in the history of the Angus breed have first been popular with the commercial cattle industry. We gain our best genetic knowledge by spending time in our commercial customers cowherds and sorting and shipping calves for them. This real-world experience gives us unmatched breeding knowledge that we could never obtain from a computer. Over the year, we have been working hard to create new avenues and cultivate existing relationships to better serve our customers. The demand for Ellingson-Angus-sired feeder calves continues to expand amongst feeders. Similarly, the demand for replacement females sired by our bulls also continues to grow. One of the largest undertakings of the past year has been the start-up of Maternal Replacement Solutions, LLC. The company, owned in conjunction with Topp Herefords and Lerwick Brothers, Inc., greatly expands options for high-quality straightbred Angus females produced from Ellingson Angus bulls. For more information about the MRS program, see page 96. Among all the blessings of the past year, we are the most grateful for the many committed customers that choose Ellingson Angus as their genetic supplier. We strive to repay this commitment each day by strategically breeding cattle that will enhance our customers profit and by aiming to provide the best service after the sale that we can. We know there are many places you can buy bulls. We aim to be more than that. We aim to deliver a program that you can link to and that will help you fulfill your goals. Thanks for your support and interest in our program. We invite you to the sale on Feb. 4. ~ Chad Ellingson

He is an outlier to other curve-bending bulls in the Angus breed today. He offers sleep-all-night calving ease and scalepounding performance, although is atypical of most curvebenders as he injects loads of muscle mass and natural thickness into his offspring. In accordance with his name, Remedy improves foot quality, structure and other economically relevant traits. His first daughters are impressive females with picture-perfect udders and feminine, brood-cow looks. Remedy is owned with the 1T01 Group in Tennessee and leased to Select Sires.

This phenotypic and genotypic standout has put every aspect of profitability in line. He comes from a proven pedigree, yet is an outcross to many of today s popular lines. He should be suitable to work on heifers and have progeny that compete with even the strictest performance lines. The cow line backing him is one of the most prolific here. The picture of his dam is accurate in portraying her phenotypic and production merit. She is boldly sprung, impeccable in her structure and may be the best Final Answer daughter in the breed. She exemplifies what it means to be a brood cow in the Dakotas. She boasts a birth ratio of 6/95, a nursing ratio of 6/101, a yearling ratio of 3/101 and an IMF ratio of 2/104.

His dam is a true brood female that has the guts, body capacity and foot quality to thrive in any environment. She is made for a long-lasting career in the often challenging Northern Plains. His granddam records a birth ratio of 8/98, a weaning ratio of 8/103 and a yearling ratio of 6/102 all within a 362-day calving interval. 2 AAA#: Tattoo: /24/16 Ellingson Remedy 6078 CTS Remedy 1T01 EA Blackcap 4053 Connealy Thunder CTS 7V03 Bellemere Maid 9T02 Koupal Advance 28 EA Blackcap AAA#: Tattoo: /20/16 Ellingson Remedy 6035 CTS Remedy 1T01 EA Blanche 4137 Connealy Thunder CTS 7V03 Bellemere Maid 9T02 Ellingson Format 2205 EA Blanche 1137 BW: -1 WW: +55 YW: +102 M: +25 MB: +.67 RE: +.64 BW: WT: WT: 1,432 ADG: 3.62 Dam s Nursing Ratio: 1/102 $W: $B: BW: -.7 WW: +56 YW: +110 M: +32 MB: +.7 RE: +.72 BW: WT: WT: 1,556 ADG: 3.97 Dam s Nursing Ratio: 1/111 $W: $B: This bull will be a favorite on sale day, as he is extremely well-balanced and hard to find a hole in.

His outcross pedigree would be a sound mating to many of today s popular lines. His structural correctness, base width and body capacity make him a no-brainer for producing high-end, reputation-building replacement females. More importantly, his young Advance dam was the best 2-year-old female we calved last spring. The females that came before her have left an outstanding legacy. Her udder, foot quality, rib shape and productivity are factors that have built the Blackcap line. Maternal brothers to the dam are working for Brendan Becher of Almont, Doug Maher of Eagle Butte, S.D., and the PEZ Ranch of Sterling. Another is featured in this sale as Lot 139. Do not miss this opportunity to own a masterpiece! Ellingson Remedy 6035 should be one of the favorites on sale day. His superior phenotypic qualities are backed up well by the genetic merit he proves on paper. He excels in economically relevant traits that carry weight in the cattle industry. He stands down on as much substance of bone and has as much base width and shape as you can find in a heifer bull. He earned a birth ratio of 95 and came across the scale this fall with a weaning ratio of 11 percent above his contemporaries. He is royally bred, incorporating some of the greatest Angus sires to ever come about. He is eight-generations deep in Ellingson-Angus-bred matrons that can be especially appreciated by commercial cattle producers. He combines the everlasting calving-ease sires of Remedy, Format and Aberdeen. His granddam boasts a birth ratio of 4/99, a weaning ratio of 4/107 and a yearling ratio of 3/103.

He is suitable for use on heifers, but we still expect his offspring to have excellent vigor, performance and outstanding gains in the feedlot Ellingson Angus Real-World Genetics Production Sale Catalog 5

96 In the past year, Ellingson Angus has invested in a company with a focus of producing high-quality replacement heifers. Ellingson Angus has joined with Topp Herefords and Lerwick Brothers, Inc., to start Maternal Replacement Solutions (MRS). The focus is to breed and offer for sale large volumes of Angus and black baldy females for commercial operations that choose to purchase all or most of their replacement females. Many cattle operations want the simplicity of not needing the development system for raising replacements; many producers want to purchase heifers that calve within a tight calving window; and many producers want to buy highly maternal females and breed them to terminal sires to sell the entire resulting calfcrop. Lerwick Brothers has created a high demand with multiple operations across America to supply them with black baldy replacement females. MRS is committed to filling this demand with high-quality verified genetics starting with high-quality Angus females to produce the baldy heifers. There are multiple producers that are producing these true F1 baldy females utilizing Topp Hereford bulls. These F1 producers are purchasing all of their replacement females from verified Ellingson Angus bull customers or raising their own straight-angus replacement females utilizing Ellingson Angus bulls. While there are many replacement females for sale each year, few have narrowed the gene pool to offer a consistent product in large volumes. MRS has load lots of high-quality heifers for certain calving windows. We also are working closely with numerous feeders and packers to fulfill their needs for high-quality British-based cattle to be able to market the steermates owned by MRS customers. Alan Heim of Bismarck joined the MRS team this past fall to help procure replacement females and market feeder cattle for MRS. Alan has a strong background in the cattle business and integrity and professionalism to match. We look forward to each of you getting to know Alan as he helps us with some of your cattle marketing needs.
