2 OFFERING 66 LOTS OF CATTLE Friends, Try Lowlines - See Rapid Growth! What? Lowlines equal rapid growth? That s right. First of all, Lowlines are the most rapidly growing breed registry in the United States...more members, more registrations and even more importantly, more transfers which is the best indication of more sales being made by more breeders! More sales across the country are producing more opportunity for breeders to market their seedstock. Effertz EZ Ranch Discover Lowline Weekend But why, you ask? Because cattlemen across the country are starting to see the growth in their bottom line when they moderate their cow size and take the labor out of calving. They are also seeing tremendous fi nancial benefi t from a no stress birthing process yielding higher breed back rates and eliminating huge expenses from treating scours and calf pneumonia. By moderating their cow size and doing a better job of rotational grazing, they are able to run more cows per acre and improve their total pounds of weaning weight for a higher price per pound! Now that s real growth. But why should I use a smaller bull on my cows and expect to grow my profi t you ask. You shouldn t. You should use a Lowline bull on your fi rst calf heifers to eliminate calving diffi culty and then keep those fi rst cross Lowline heifers as replacements. Over time, about 5-6 years using a 15-20% replacement rate, you can replace each big, old high maintenance cow culled with 1.5 to 2 Lowline cross heifers and thereby moderate your cow size while simultaneously increasing your cow numbers. If you couple that strategy with moving your calving dates a little later, you will be astounded by the labor reductions, lower feed supplementation and improvement in your bottom line. We welcome you to our 6th Discover Lowlines Weekend. We hope you fi nd it educational and enjoyable. We sure do enjoy having you here. We hope you see some cattle you like. Please let us know if we can help you in any way. Thank you for your interest. Neil and Jan Effertz Neil & Jan Effertz & Family Hwy 1804 N. Bismarck, ND Cell effertz@bektel.com

BREEDERS SEMINAR Over the last year we have attended seminars and met with leaders in the grass-fed beef industry. Many of these experts have touted the effi ciency and fl eshing ability of frame score 4 cattle which are exactly what halfblood to threequarter-blood Lowline genetics produce. We have heard over and over that some of the best females to use in a grass-fed operation are halfblood Lowline cows. Consumer demand for all-natural, source-verifi ed, grass-fed beef is soaring. Our Discover Lowlines Weekend Breeder Seminar will feature experts in several phases of grass fed beef production: John Dhuyvetter, NDSU Extension Beef Cattle Specialist will discuss cost effective conversion from big, high maintenance cost cows using Lowline genetics. Charlie Waldroff, Big Dog Fodder Systems, will share his experience in growing and using fodder to grass fi nish Lowline cattle. The Effertz Girls know that one of the best things about raising Lowlines is eating Lowline beef. Join Kate, Sarah and Abbey for cooking demonstrations and tasting grassfed Lowline beef. They will also have recipes and will discuss marketing tips for selling your grass-fed Lowline locker beef. 6:00 P.M. BEEF SUPPER & SOCIAL SATURDAY, JUNE 2 10:00 A.M.

Halfblood calves average weights of pounds at birth will vary depending on the genetics of the heifers. They will be in the frame score 4 to 5.5 range, again depending on the frame score of the heifers. These vigorous, healthy calves will weigh right at or just slightly below the average of your regular calves especially if you start calving your heifers a few weeks earlier than your main cow herd as is common practice. The extra calves you wean (no death loss at birth) will more than make up for any loss in individual weaning weight. These fi rst-cross calves will sell right with your regular calves at no discount. 2. Halfblood and first-cross Lowline steers will finish at 1,150 to 1,275 lbs. if backgrounded on a highroughage diet. They will work extremely well to run as yearlings on grass and then these yearlings will gain very well and very effi ciently in the feedlot. They will fi nish in a much shorter feeding period saving high corn costs and yardage. Because of their heavy-muscled heritage they will yield excellent carcasses with high ribeyearea-per-hundredweight and a high quality grade. The Lowlinecross beef is noticeably fi ne textured and very tender. 3. Use Lowline cross cows to moderate your cow size. Run more cows per acre and wean more pounds per acre. Sell that total pounds of weaning weight for a higher price per pound. This is especially true from the second year of production and beyond when you can breed the Lowline cross females to a larger framed but easy-calving bull of another breed to make a smaller cow be all she can be. Thus, she weans a higher percent of her body weight and optimizes her lower annual maintenance costs. 4. Sell Lowline seed stock. There are an increasing number of Lowline sales across the country to allow you a place to market your registered Lowlines. There is also a great demand for Lowline-cross replacement heifers. They make excellent recipients for some embryo transplant programs. 5. Lowline-cross steers are ideal for the emerging Grass-Fed Beef market. We fi nd that half to 3/4-blood steers are very well suited for this purpose. 6. High-percentage Lowlines are optimum for selling locker beef. Their smaller carcass size is much more well suited to the modern American family. Their smaller yet fi ne-textured cuts of fl avorful beef will gain you rave reviews from your customers and some great word of mouth advertising. We are even breeding some of our higher percentage Lowline cows to lower percentage bulls which gives us terrifi c weaning weights as a percent of the cow s body weight. Discover Lowlines Page 19
