2 Welcome... The Kenner Family Roger, Jeanette & Erika Kenner th St NE Leeds, North Dakota K ENNE R Phone Erika SIMMENTALS erika.kenner@gmail.com Herdsman: Bryan Leapaldt Cell Erika, Jeanette, Roger & Brett Kenner Roger and Jeanette with their grandkids One thing about this winter, we won t be lacking moisture in the spring! This winter so far has been very tough on the ranchers of North and South Dakota. Seems as though we re paying for having a few open winters in the past. Too bad snow isn t a commodity we can sell! Seriously though, it s hard to be positive in a winter like this, but we need to remember that this will pass. We can get through it one day at a time. We are used to persevering in this industry and we can do it again. I do understand however, that it s hard to even want to leave your place this winter. There s so much more to do each day and if you re gone, its that much more to do when you get back or maybe the roads are so bad, it s hard to get back. Either way, it s going to make it tough to get around to look at bulls this year. This is why we are going to add a Field Day ahead of our sale this year and we welcome you at anytime prior to the sale to look at bulls and heifers whenever it works for you. We will also try to get our videos done as soon as possible the snow has prevented it from happening yet. But remember, if you have to buy sight unseen, everything is still 100% guaranteed just as always. If you can t make it to our place beforehand or during the sale, please call us ahead of time and we can direct you to the right bulls for you and assist you in making your selections. The Leapaldt Family Kenner Farm & Ranch Team We have the best team around! We ve tried to make it easy for you in the catalog again we ve organized them by sire group in each section. We also have listed the percentile rankings under the EPDs again as we did last year. If the box is blank, it means it ranked in the bottom 50% of the breed. I feel it s easier to sort out the ones that excel if there s less numbers to focus on. So anything that is blank is not in the top 50% of the breed. Please make sure to read about the OH defect and the genetic enhanced EPDs on page 2, so you know what that means in the catalog. As always, we are here to answer any questions you may have and would love to see you at the ranch on sale day or before. Join us on the ranch ahead of the sale! Learn about some of the new technology and what all these numbers mean! Followed by a lunch at the sale barn and an afternoon of looking at the bulls and heifers!

4 Understanding the Data 2 WHY USE EPDS? We have included all the data we can for each animal in this catalog, but we strongly recommend using the EPDs the most. EPDs allow a buyer to compare the animals across the breed. If you look at the actual data of an animal, it only tells you how they compare in that particular herd. By using the EPDs, you can compare them across herds and within herds more accurately. We ve formatted our lot boxes to include the percentile ranking for each trait if they rank within the top 50% of the breed. This will make it easier to evaluate each animal. CALVING EASE EPD Please understand the CE EPD is actually heifer calving ease. This number tells you how those bulls will calve on heifers - % unassisted compared to the other bulls on heifers. For example: If Bull A has a CE EPD of 10 and Bull B has a CE EPD of 5, Bull A will have 5% more unassisted births than Bull B when used on heifers. If you are going to use the bull for cows, you do not need to have that number as high. GENOMIC EPDS Now there are two genomic tests available a low-density test (30K SNPs) and a high-density test (150K SNPs) with SNPs meaning DNA markers. The HD test is required for AI sires and donor cows but the LD test is used for most everything else. Both tests include a parental verification and increase the accuracy of the EPDs without a progeny test. We have tested all the bulls in this offering and their EPDs have incorporated that data. They are indicated in the lot information as to which test they received by GGP-HD or GGP-LD. DILUTION GENE (DL) There is a DNA test now for the dilution gene. We have tested all the red bulls or their dams and granddams and have them all identified in this catalog. The results will show as DLF (Dilution Free) or DLC (Dilution Carrier). All of the bulls in the sale offering are DLF and you will see that listed in the data of each lot. Many of the heifers are identified and we are expecting to receive results on a few more before sale day. DLF means they do not carry the dilution gene so when mated to a black animal, you will not get a grey calf. DLC means they do carry the dilution gene and when mated to a black animal, you may see a grey calf. OH GENETIC DEFECT OH or Oculocutaneous Hypopigmentation is a cosmetic genetic trait affecting Simmental cattle. It is a recessive trait so it is only possible from the mating of two carriers. It is non-lethal and doesn t affect performance of the animal, but the animals will have white-colored eyes and/or a diluted hair coat. The most popular recent ancestor that is the carrier is PVF-BF BF26 Black Joker. We have tested everything in our herd that could possibly be a carrier and have identified the ones in this sale as either OHF (Free) or OHC (Carrier). OHC means that animal carries the gene. If mated with other carriers, there is a possibility to see the trait. If not mated to carriers, you will not see the trait, but may pass the carrier gene to some of the progeny. HERD HEALTH All the bulls in the sale have had calfhood vaccinations of Inforce 3 & Endovac at birth. Spring shots were Endovac booster, 7-way Somnus, and Virashield 6. Pre-weaning shots were Endovac, 7-way Somnus and Virashield 6. At weaning they were boosted with Bovishield Gold and somnus and given Decotmax injectable. They were poured with Ultra Saber. The bred heifers were vaccinated and boosted prior to breeding with Vira Shield 6 VL5 HB. They were vaccinated with Scour Bos 9 and Type A Clostridia and were boosted with Scour Bos 4 and Type A Clostridia. The heifers were poured with Ultra Saber and wormed with Safe Guard. The bulls were fed a TMR ration formulated by Darryl Rupprect of Purina Feeds. It s a 50 mega-cal dry matter ration. Our goal is for moderate gains so we do not burn out the bulls. We strive for soundness and longevity in our bulls. Our ADG for the 2017 sale bulls was 3.55 on a 106- day test. BVD AND JOHNE S STATUS All animals in the herd were tested for BVD and tested negative. We also test for Johne s each year during preg check and have completed 6 years of testing. We remain at a Level 3 status. Can t make the sale? Watch & bid online for FREE at Buying online is as easy as 1, 2, Create an account at under the register tab 2.

38 Purebred Red Angus Bulls Introducing Our New Red Angus Program! This is our first year offering Purebred Red Angus bulls. There are only 5 this year, but look for that number to increase in the years to come. Our goal is to produce calving ease Red Angus bulls as another option for our customers. You ll notice we have a lot of 5L Red Angus influence in the bulls this year. We purchased a few females from them to start and they allowed us to purchase a few embryos. If you ve followed their program, they focus on cows that survive in rugged environments, cattle that will perform in the feedlot and on the rail, all with phenotypes that impress. We ve also purchased a female from Westphal Red Angus, MT, that has a calf in this sale and a few from the ND State Red Angus sale that will calve this year. Our criteria includes high calving ease, low birth, good maternal and carcass traits and they need to have good feet. We re confident you will like the offering we have this year and we are excited to see the calves born in 2017! All of these Red Angus lots only have Actual Yearling Weights listed, as the data was not processed at American Red Angus in time for catalog printing. Adjusted weights should be available on sale day. The actual weight date was 12/30/16.

Kayla and Demmi have made their marks, and Zasha is going to follow in their footsteps. She actually stems from the Demmi cow family, as she is the great-granddam. Hasn t mattered how we ve mated Zasha, she has clicked. Her first calf was KS Bases Loaded B47 and after that, we moved her in to the donor pen. She has calves by ShamWow (full sibs to Bases Loaded) again, by Red Mountain and by Prime Beef in this sale. You ll be impressed with all of them. Her mother seems to mainly have females and her daughters have produced high-selling red bulls in the sales each year as well. Very consistent cow family here. 42

Dam was a first calf heifer. Been a standout since a young calf. Notice all the bulls in the sale have been DNA tested and their DNA is incorporated in their EPDs. This is indicated on each lot by GGP-HD or GGP-LD. GGP-HD uses 150,000 SNPs (DNA markers) and is required for AI sires and donor cows and GGP-LD uses 30,000 SNPs (DNA markers). By adding in the genomic data, it adds the equivalent data of 5-10 calves depending on the trait to the EPDs. So the accuracy is better and all ET calves will have a better prediction than just a pedigree estimate as before. This allows one to use the EPDs more than the actual birth data as it is more accurate.

57 Bull Buyer s Quick Guide to ASA EPDs and $ Indexes Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs): EPDs are the most accurate and effective tool available for comparing genetic levels. In using EPDs, the difference between two sires EPDs represents the unit difference expected in the performance of their progeny. For example, if sires A and B have EPDs of +10 and -5, a 15-unit difference would be expected in their progeny (moving from -5 to +10 yields 15 units). Key to using EPDs is knowing in what units they are expressed. For example, if the above case referred to weaning weight EPDs, sire A would be expected to sire 15 pounds more weaning weight than sire B. If calving ease was the trait, sire A would be expected to sire 15 percent more unassisted births in first-calf heifers; in other words, if sire B sired 30 assists in a group of 100 heifers, we would expect sire A to require 15 assists. A percentile-ranking chart is required to determine where a bull s EPDs rank him relative to other bulls in the breed. For more detailed information about EPDs and $ indexes, visit Listed below are the units in which ASA EPDs are expressed: All-Purpose Index (API): Dollars per cow exposed under an all-purpose-sire scenario. (See $ Indexes for more details.) Back Fat (BF): Inches of carcass backfat at 475 days. Birth Weight (BW): Pounds of birth weight. Calving Ease (CE): Percent of unassisted births when used on heifers. Carcass Weight (CW): Pounds of carcass weight at 475 days. Maternal Calving Ease (MCE): Percent of unassisted births in first-calving daughters. Milk (MLK): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk. Marbling (MRB): Carcass marbling score at 475 days. Maternal Weaning Weight (MWW): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk and growth. Ribeye Area (REA): Square inches of carcass ribeye at 475 days. Stayability (STAY): Percent of daughters remaining in the cowherd at six years of age. Terminal Index (TI): Dollars per cow exposed under a terminal-sire scenario. (See TI for more details.) Warner-Bratzler Shear Force (WBSF): Pounds of force required to shear a rib-eye steak. Weaning Weight (WW): Pounds of weaning weight. Yearling Weight (YW): Pounds of yearling weight. Yield Grade (YG): Carcass yield grade score at 475 days. Docility (DOC): Percent of offspring receiving a disposition score of 1 (docile). $ Indexes: Though EPDs allow for the comparison of genetic levels for many economically important traits, they only provide pieces of the economic puzzle. This is where $ indexes come in. Through well-conceived, rigorous mathematical computation, $ indexes blend EPDs and economics to estimate an animal s overall impact on integrated commercial production. The same technology that led to the dramatic progress in swine, poultry and dairy genetics over the last several decades was used to develop the following $ indexes: All-Purpose Index (API): Evaluates sires for use on the entire cow herd (bred to both Angus first-calf heifers and mature cows) with the portion of their daughters required to maintain herd size retained and the remaining heifers and steers put on feed and sold grade and yield. Terminal Index (TI): Evaluates sires for use on mature Angus cows with all offspring put on feed and sold grade and yield. Using API and TI: First, determine which index to use; if you are keeping replacements use API, if not, use TI. Then, just as with EPDs, zero in on the unit difference between bulls. (As described above, index units are in dollars per cow exposed.) The difference can be used to determine how much a bull is worth compared to another. Put another way, how much you can pay for one bull compared to another. For example, when buying an all-purpose-type sire, you can quickly figure a bull scoring +100 for API is worth an extra $6,000 over a +50 bull if both are exposed to 30 cows over 4 years ($50 diff. x 30 hd. x 4 yr.=$6,000). A percentile-ranking chart is required to determine where a bull s index value ranks him relative to other bulls in the breed. For more detailed information about EPDs and $ indexes, visit: Important disclaimer: DO NOT compare index values of purebreds of different breeds, hybrids of different breed composition or purebreds with hybrids our system was not developed to make valid comparison among these groups. Therefore, you must first determine the breed and breed composition appropriate for your herd and use index values to compare animals within that population.

58 AJSA STEER PROFITABILITY CONTEST The American Junior Simmental Association (AJSA) recently released its new junior program, the Steer Profitability Competition (SPC). The SPC is designed to provide members of the AJSA meaningful exposure to the opportunities and challenges associated with cattle feeding. The SPC will not only allow participants to measure and compare the profitability of their own animal(s), but of greater importance will introduce young beef enthusiasts to peers, mentors, industry advocates, and experiences that are exceedingly difficult to acquire for any beef producer. Participants in the SPC program will be powerful voices as they transition from junior membership to adult participation within the beef industry. AJSA youth interested in entering the SPC must hold an active AJSA membership, and can enter one, two or three head of steers. The SPC is a terminal contest, marketed on a grade and yield grid. Steers must be entered in the American Simmental Association (ASA) database, with one parent registered in the ASA database. For anyone interested in 2017, log on to and go to the AJSA page for all the details. The steers are picked up at regional locations and transported to Chappell Feedlot in Chappell, Nebraska, on November 1. The steers must have birthdates between January 15 to April 15 and must be weaned between August 15 to October 15. All steers must be castrated, horn-free, weigh pounds at pick up and have a docility score of 1-3. They also must meet a health prerequisite prior to pick up. Slaughter will occur in early May at Cargill Meat Solutions in Fort Morgan, CO. Exhibitors must agree to attend mandatory monthly online meetings and submit monthly reports. Profitability will be determined by subtracting accrued cost from final valuation. Awards will be presented for the top-three animals overall, as well as the top-three Pen of 3 overall at the National Classic each year. Exhibitors interested in entering the SPC for 2017, should contact ASA Youth Director Emily Lochner, elochner@simmgene.com. Anyone under the age of 21 interested in this is welcome. If you aren t an AJSA member already, it is easy to join. Feel free to contact Erika Kenner for more information as well as the ASA contact. 56
