2 Spring Creek Simmentals / Red Rose Angus Brian McCarthy P.O. Box 167, Moosomin, SK S0G 3N0 Website: bmccarthy@sasktel.net Welcome to our 5th Annual Bull Sale. Although it is only #5, we have been in the Simmental purebred industry since 1973 and the Angus division was added in The strength of our operation is the cow herd and an unwavering belief in the type of cattle that the industry needs to be profitable. The top end of our heifers is always kept for replacements, allowing us to speed up genetic improvement and put extreme pressure on culling. Udders, disposition and feet are at the top of that list, as we want our customers to know that they won t be adding unwanted traits with a bull purchase. For the most part, the bottom sides of the pedigrees are predominantly Spring Creek breeding. Our customers can be confident that the culling has been done and that they can buy with confidence. This year we are proud to include offerings from Black Sand Cattle Co. and Sun Rise Simmentals. They have been very good customers and Spring Creek pedigrees are prevalent in their herds. We share common philosophies and a passion for the seed stock industry. I appreciate their input in every aspect of this business and know that they will add value to the sale. We feel that together we can provide a broader selection and enhanced customer service through our combined synergies. I welcome them aboard! We are proud that our program offers a catalogue with industry leading information. It includes pictures of all bulls, their sires and dams, homozygous polled information and coat color status on most bulls, as well as individual performance and pedigrees. We have the genetics you need to be profitable in all market conditions. Select with confidence. We encourage pre-sale farm visits so that customers will have more time to assess the bulls, their dams and sires, and perhaps their sire s dam. Our search for herd sires is never-ending; I must see a potential herd bull s dam before using a sire in my herd, and I suspect you would like to do the same. Our business is built on repeat customers. Please join us on Thursday, March 11 th we would like to be partners in your success.

4 We feel it is of the utmost importance that our cattle attain a proper balance of nutrition year round for longevity, fertility and to allow them to fully express their genetic potential. All of this ties back into the ability of that animal to maintain a profitable position. With the aid of the expert advice of JM Beef Consulting, we are striving to achieve these results for our own as well as our customers' operations. Kevin does the nutritional work for Spring Creek, Black Sand and Sun Rise. He also has his own cow herd and has been a good customer at our sales. His consulting business has been a sponsor at our fall female sale as well as our bull sale. We appreciate his business and his support. Give Kevin a call for your beef nutritional needs. Lorelei and I have been working closely with Brian for a number of years now and have always been pleased with the quality of the bulls presented to us for breeding soundness evaluation. We also take pride in our work and, though we are contracted by Brian to perform the breeding soundness evaluations of his bull, our goal is to also act as a representative of the future purchaser of that animal when we are evaluating bulls. Brian has always impressed us with the effort he makes to utilize all the tools and resources available to continue to improve the quality of the animals in his herd.

Here at BlackSand Cattle Company we would like to welcome you to our very first consignment to the SpringCreek Simmentals/Red Rose Angus Bull Sale. Myself, Craig Davidson, along with my wife, Karla, and our two kids Ava and Hudson own and operate BlackSand Cattle Co. Really and truly BlackSand Cattle Co. would not exist today if it weren t for the herd management and supervision provided by my parents Ralph & Wendy Davidson, who look after the day to day running of the operation. What would you have without family?... We would like to thank Brian & Sharon and family at SpringCreek Simmentals/Red Rose Angus for the opportunity to become a part of their annual bull sale. We are grateful, and hope to add value to the sale and to an extended customer base in the way of additional selection and quality! We are also very excited to be working alongside Sunrise Simmental in business as well as a joint consignor in this sale. I never assumed I could strike out in this industry alone, and early on looked for a mentor to help me develop the skills required to produce and market sound functional cattle. I have a lot of respect for what has been done here at SpringCreek, and as you look through my pedigrees you will see the MBJ prefix runs deep as it has been the baseline for developing the purebred herd at BlackSand. My mentorship continues on today with Brian but has really grown into a great friendship with common interests and passion for the cattle business. We are relatively new to the purebred business but have been working quietly on our herd over the last six years. We have been selling bred heifers with Spring Creek in Virden the past three falls and bulls out of our yard for three years as well. Our herd has grown to where we are expecting roughly 60 purebred calves this spring. We are focusing on moderation in our cows, that are easy doing with good dispositions, feet, legs and udders and that can be fertile under a high roughage based ration. We have also focused on some convenience traits for customers with 100% of our cows either red or black with increasingly more being homozygous polled. For our first year as consignors we have decided to bring a group of black bulls, that we are proud of, and that should go on to be very functional for their new owners. These bulls are being developed on a balanced ration to grow more naturally with the hopes of increased longevity and structural soundness. You will find a combination of performance, maternal traits, moderation and great dispositions in our offering! All bulls have been Igenity DNA tested for carcass and maternal traits as well as coat color and the polled genes. The majority of the bulls are homozygous polled with a select few being homozygous black as well! We are passionate in what we do and will continue to strive to better ourselves as seedstock producers. We really enjoy the opportunity to meet new people and develop new relationships as well as continue to grow and foster our relationships with our existing customers. Call or come by to and view the cattle at any time. We really encourage you to check out our website to develop a better appreciation of what we are striving towards, with our customer s guidance.

25 We would like to start by thanking Spring Creek Simmentals for asking us to be a part of their sale. Sun Rise Simmentals isn't just a business for us- it's a passion. Since the early '70s Simmental cattle have been a mainstay on our farm. During the last 35 years the Simmental industry has grown and evolved and I am proud to have seen first-hand the successes our breed has had. In addition to the purebred herd, we also had a small feedlot over the last 12 years, which broadened our insight into the importance of good cattle in all sectors of the cattle business. Our breeding program at Sun Rise is focused on producing practical, useful, productive cattle for both the purebred and commercial cattleman. To reach this goal we have always selected herd sires with scrutiny and rigorously evaluated them and their offspring against our goals. Sun Rise Simmentals is a family operation. Though our daughter Kristin no longer has a direct role in the cattle business, she still contributes by assisting with designing marketing and advertising materials. We are also proud to say that we will be adding a son-in-law to our family in June, George. Box 70 Spy Hill, SK S0A 3W0 (306) (306) Cell Today we bring three bulls from our breeding program to the Spring Creek Sale. Behind them is a 35 year breeding program which goes back to at least four generations of Sun Rise cattle. They are a great representation of the cattle we have been striving to produce.

IGENITY Scores are easy to incorporate into your program. A commercial producer may want to focus on the economically relevant traits that are most important, in order to identify those animals that best represent the future direction of your operation. As a Seedstock producer the opportunity to fine-tune selection and management to help meet your customer s goals is enhanced. IGENITY Scores should be used as an additional layer of information, to compliment the tools currently employed in selecting and managing animals (ultrasound, EPD s, performance data, etc.). The values listed in the chart, in Figure 1, reflect the relative difference, on average, expected in a group of animals com pared to contemporaries with an IGENITY profile score of 1. A brief explanation of each trait follows the table. Figure 1: 29

34 Tenderness: The IGENITY Profile score for tenderness represents an animal s genetic potential for tenderness, as measured by Warner-Bratzler Shear Force (WBSF), with 10 the most tender and 1 the least tender. Lower shear force means more tender beef. In a group of animals with an IGENITY tenderness score of 10, 2.27 lbs less shear force is required than a group of animals with a score of 1. This means higher IGENITY scores represent animals that are more tender than those with lower scores. Marbling Score: Higher IGENITY scores for marbling equal greater genetic potential for marbling. In a group of animals with an IGENITY Profile score of 10 for Marbling, the average marbling can be expected to be 96.0 points greater than in a group of animals with a score of 1. Beef Quality for Marbling uses a 1 to 999 point scale in the Beef Grading system. Marbling scores reflect how much intramuscular fat is present in the carcasses, and thus the potential to grade Canada AAA. Therefore the 96 unit range from IGENITY Profile scores 1 to 10 equals almost one full quality grade. Quality Grade (Canada AAA or higher): Higher IGENITY scores for Quality Grade equal greater genetic potential to grade Canada AAA. The IGENITY profile for Quality Grade reflects the percent Canada AAA. In a group of animals with an IGENITY Profile score of 10 for Quality Grade, you would expect 53.7% more animals to grade Canada AAA than a group of animals that score 1. Yield Grade: Higher IGENITY Yield Grade scores equal a genetic potential for a higher Yield Grade. Since higher Yield Grade values equate to more fat and/or less muscle, animals with higher IGENITY Profile scores for YG are expected to be, on average, genetically fatter and/or lighter muscled. A group of animals with an IGENITY profile score of 10 for Yield Grade can be expected to receive a Yield Grade score that is 1.17 units of yield grade higher than a group of animals that receives a score of 1. A Yield Grade 1 (YG1) relates to the lower IGENITY profile scores, while a Yield Grade 3 (YG3) reflects higher IGENITY profile scores. Average Daily Gain: A key profitability measurement for any operation is measured in lbs. of gain per day. The IGENITY profile results for Average Daily Gain identifies an animal s genetic potential for rate of gain, for both calves and post-weaning growth. Animals which score a 10 will gain an additional 0.81 lbs. per day over animals which score a 1 which means a 166 lb. difference over 205 days. Back Fat Thickness: In a group of animals with an IGENITY profile score of 10 for Fat Thickness, the average fat thickness is expected to be inches (almost quarter of an inch) greater than in a group of animals that score 1. Lower IGENITY profile scores indicate less external fat, while higher scores reflect more external fat. Ribeye Area: In a group of animals with an IGENITY profile score of 10 for Ribeye Area, the average ribeye area is expected to be 2.12 square inches greater than in a group of animals that score 1. Lower IGENITY profile scores reflect smaller ribeye areas, with higher scores reflecting larger ribeye areas. Heifer Pregnancy Rate: Heifer Pregnancy Rate includes a heifer s chance at becoming pregnant over a normal breeding season, relative to other heifers. Stayability: Stayability indicates the chance a heifer will remain in the herd until at least six years old, relative to other animals. Calving Ease: Maternal Calving Ease is measured as the percentage of unassisted births a higher value indicates greater calving ease. Docility: Calm cattle are nut just about handler safety calm cattle eat more, have better response to vaccinations and preconditioning, and are more tender. The IGENITY profile for docility indicates the animal s genetic potential to be extremely calm, or to have calm offspring. Higher IGENITY scores this this trait indicate a higher likelihood that calves possess acceptable behaviour. NR: Some samples may look normal, but still are unable to produce acceptable results. This often occurs due to contaminants that are undetectable to the naked eye; dirt, mold, manure, or other foreign matter. For NR results, another sample from the same animal can be resubmitted at no charge. IGENITY Scores are easy to incorporate into your program. A commercial producer may want to focus on the economically relevant traits that are most important, in order to identify those animals that best represent the future direction of your operation. As a Seedstock producer the opportunity to fine-tune selection and management to help meet your customer s goals is enhanced. IGENITY Scores should be used as an additional layer of information, to compliment the tools currently employed in selecting and managing animals (ultrasound, EPD s, performance data, etc.). If you would like additional information on IGENITY, go to or call your IGENITY representative.
