Any bulls utilized in our herds for cleanup service will have tested negative for Trich. Breeding soundness evaluations will be done before the sale on all of the bulls. All vet work will be performed by Fairview Veterinary Clinic or Southwestern Veterinary Services. Performance Information EPDs are current as of 1/5/2019 and are from either the American Angus Association or American Simmental Association. Scrotal measurements will be available sale day. Updated EPDs can be viewed on most bulls at or by entering the bull s registration number. All announcements sale day take precedence over what is printed in this book. Retained Interest We reserve the right to 1/2 semen interest in all bulls selling. The 1/2 semen interest is a semen revenue sharing interest only with 100% of the bull s salvage value belonging to the buyer. Liability All persons attending this sale do so at their own risk. The Martin & Chrisman families and Fairview Veterinary Clinic assume no liability for property loss or accidents that may occur. Auction Format - Board Sale Each bull will be assigned a base price prior to the sale. There will be 3 different categories for good, better and best. On sale day we will have a marker board with a space for each. Buyers will write their number on the bulls they have an interest in at that base price anytime prior to the auction starting. We will start with the bulls in the highest price range first. The bull that has the most buyer numbers next to him will start the auction. The bull with the second most buyer numbers will be next and so on down the line. Once we have auctioned all of the bulls in the top price range we will move down to the mid price range bulls and then the lower priced bulls last. You are NOT committed to any or all of the bulls that you write your number on. The purpose of this exercise is to set the sale order. We ask that you please participate in this process. By auctioning the bulls with the most buyer interest first it will give you more opportunities to buy another bull, rather than other sales where you may have to pass on several bulls you would have liked to buy before they get to the one you really want, just to have him bring too much and leave you with few options. The process is not perfect, but works for everyone most of the time. There will not be any loudspeakers or professional ringmen, it will be very transparent. It will be efficient and not take much time. Lodging Holiday Inn Express - Lexington Clean, decent breakfast and a swimming pool

3 Thank you once again from the Martin and Chrisman families for taking time to review our offering and consider us for your seedstock needs. We sincerely appreciate all of your business whether you have been with us from the beginning or are here for the first time. As most of you know, breeding cattle is our passion and we approach it with enthusiasm, but also with caution. If you study the A.I. sires we are using you will notice that the average age of those bulls is 9-years-old and they tend to be proven not only for making great females, but the majority have actual progeny carcass data calculated into their EPD profile. As cattle feeders, we put more faith in the bulls that have been carcass tested in this manner than those who s EPDs are driven only on ultrasound and genomic data. When it comes time to market your calves by Stockmen s Source bulls, please give us a call. We love feeding cattle out of these bulls, and if we can t get them bought we can sure make them bring enough. If you would like to retain part of your calf crop, we are always open to partnerships. Like always, the Angus bulls in the 2019 offering are selected with an emphasis on maternal traits and function. They should sire the kind of mother cows that will keep you in the cow business. They have the length and muscle necessary for the steers to perform in the feedlot. The Angus bulls are registered with the American Angus Association and EPDs are current as of 1/5/2019. The SimAngus bulls are registered with the American Simmental Association and thus have Simmental EPDs, which are not comparable directly with the EPDs on the Angus bulls. The SimAngus bulls are the result of careful blending of Angus maternal traits with Simmental sires selected for breed-leading performance and muscle. They achieve more payweight in the feedlot than straight Angus cattle. With a little selection, the SimAngus females offer similar convenience traits to Angus with the benefit of maternal heterosis. These bulls have never been pampered, fitted, or fed hard and neither have the cowherds behind them. We want the bulls to breed aggressively for you and last for a long time. We manage the cows, weaned calves, and bull development like commercial ranches. No extra feed, no clip job, no feet trimming, and no excuses. Please stop by sometime, we would welcome the opportunity to show you around and trade ideas. Give one of us a call to take a look at the bulls, which will be at their respective ranches up until shortly before the sale. As always, we appreciate your business and take the role of being your seedstock supplier very seriously.

4 Carefully Bred Our mission is to provide our customers with trouble-free beef genetics that are profitable and low risk. To this end we strive to produce fertile, easy fleshing cattle with muscle and performance. Our cows are expected to calve easily, have strong mothering instincts, re-breed in a 45- day season and raise a heavy, healthy calf year after year. We do not believe in trimming feet, milking out cows, or putting up with disposition problems we do not have time for it and doubt you do either. Furthermore, we remain focused on maintaining feedlot performance and packer acceptability. While we may not use all of the trendy new bulls, you can be assured the genetics we provide will be time-tested and have met our approval. We expect the daughters of our bulls to perform for you as the bulls mothers have for us, and we expect their steer progeny to be good-doing feeder cattle that generate a lot of buyer interest. Simply stated, our genetics are designed to save you time, labor, and headaches and make you more money. Correctly Developed In keeping with our belief that problems are a waste of time, we strive to develop these bulls in a manner which will insure their libido, soundness, and longevity through years of service. They have never been creep-fed. We emphasize grazing the bulls whenever possible. If dry lot is a must, we grow the bulls on high-roughage, low-starch rations with adequate protein and energy to have them ready to breed cows - but without getting them too fat. Recent research conducted by Dr. Rick Funston, UNL, proves that longevity of heifers increases with more extensive development programs and we believe the same is likely true for bulls. Having developed our heifers this way for over 10 years, we can certainly attest to the value of this type of system. We know these bulls will tend to business because we use them ourselves, and because we hear from you that the bulls are high-libido breeding bulls that get the job done. We expect them to lose some weight during the breeding season, but they won t simply melt, they will work it off breeding cows - and more importantly they will last a long time. Completely Guaranteed Our guarantee is simple, we stand behind the genetics and breeding soundness of our bulls 100% for the first breeding season. If a genetic issue surfaces or if the bull is unable to settle cows you get full credit, a replacement bull or your money back. If the loss is due to gross negligence or an act of God (lightning) we are not responsible. Please notify us of any issues or potential issues as soon as possible after they occur. If you ask our past customers I think you will find that we have been very fair and easy to work with in this regard. We Value Your Business 5% discount for purchase of multiple bulls 5% discount if you bought a bull last year Discounts are additive All bulls will be freeze branded prior to delivery.

We continue working to derive more carcass weight and quality while maintaining cows that work within the constraints of our resources. We focus on using bulls with actual carcass data that stretch the antagonism between carcass weight and mature daughter size. With the addition of heterosis we can produce more pounds of beef with the same inputs. In 2017 and 2018, in addition to our own calves we fed Stockmen s Source sired calves from Craig Harmoney and Tom Nelson at 4+ Feeders and bid on many others. We can not buy all the customer calves that are offered, but will sure try to find you the best market if we are not able to purchase them. We look forward to feeding more in the future. The steer mates to the 2-year-old bulls in this and last year s sales wintered on stalks with the bulls before going on feed. Over the two years, they have averaged a daily gain of 4.25 and fed in the best 5-10% of the cattle we fed all year for conversion and cost of gain. Some of you have noticed that we don t chase huge growth EPDs, the reason being that our steers averaged 1,525 lb payweight leaving the feedlot the last two years. This year there were almost 20% of them with carcass weights over 1,050 lb. We believe our selection for more carcass weight relative to mature weight is paying dividends and that selecting for above average muscle is important for allowing cattle to reach a heavier endpoint. Over two years the cattle graded over 90% choice with only 12.5% yield grade 4s, and finished at months of age weighing 250 lb more than the average of their mothers. Keep in mind the top 40-50% of these calf crops were kept as bulls. These and the customer cattle we feed always perform, and we are more than confident in their feedlot performance, we count on it Open House Bull Sale 5

6 Explanation of Terms CAUTION: EPDs on Angus bulls can NOT be directly compared to the EPDs on the SimAngus bulls. They are calculated separately by each association. Calving Ease Direct (CED), is expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births, with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in first-calf heifers. It predicts the average difference in ease with which an sire s calves will be born when he is bred to first-calf heifers. Birth Weight EPD (BW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire s ability to transmit birth weight to his progeny compared to that of other sires. Weaning Weight EPD (WW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire s ability to transmit weaning growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires. Yearling Weight EPD (YW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire s ability to transmit yearling growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires. Maternal Milk EPD (Milk), is a predictor of a sire s genetic merit for milk and mothering ability as expressed in his daughters compared to daughters of other sires. In other words, it is that part of a calf s weaning weight attributed to milk and mothering ability. Marbling EPD (Marb), expressed as a fraction of the difference in USDA marbling score of a sire s progeny compared to progeny of other sires. Ribeye Area EPD (REA), expressed in square inches, is a predictor of the difference in ribeye area of a sire s progeny compared to progeny of other sires. We realize there are additional EPDs and indeces available, and would be glad to share this information with you for any of the bulls. The traits listed in the catalog are the individual traits most economically important to the majority of our customers. BR - birth weight ratio NR - nursing (weaning weight) ratio YR - yearling weight ratio Note: Dam ratios may be a combination of records kept by the AAA and ASA as we used the AAA to calculate ratios on our SimAngus bulls from Also be aware that the ASA reports BR as an inverted ratio. All birth ratios in this catalog are reported the same as the Angus Association for the purpose of consistency. Therefore if any bull had a birthweight below the herd average then his ratio will be below 100 and vice versa. Ratios on the Broken Bar M cows do not include the 2018 calf crop as we are awaiting parentage results before those ratios can be calculated.

EPDs - How We Use Them EPDs are available for making informed selection decisions. By definition they are EXPECTED differences, not KNOWN differences. They are not a guarantee of results. We place more confidence in the EPDs on high accuracy progeny proven bulls that we consider and eventually use. We seek out A.I. sires that are proven by actual carcass data to sire high carcass weight relative to mature daughter weight. You will see bulls that fit these criteria stacked in our pedigrees including EXT, Power Alliance, Emblazon, Black Cedar (sire of Full Bore), Open Range, Dash, Tanker, and Trinity among others. Beyond that we look for cattle that will offer good ribeye and muscling relative to carcass weight. Fat and light muscled carcasses (YG 4 s and 5 s) have become a real problem and we want our genetics to become part of the solution. Of course calving ease and marbling also receive careful consideration, but to a little lesser extent, because Angus cattle already do this really well. After we have identified the proven A.I. sire lines we want to utilize we then move forward by using sons of those bulls out of our best cows that are older and proven in our systems. As a result of the age of dam, the EPD s are usually much less than that of a young unproven cow. Most of the industry has let EPD selection become the Holy Grail of supposed genetic improvement without even realizing it has stacked several generations of young and unproven bulls and cows. We have much more confidence in bulls out of our proven problem-free cows regardless of EPD numbers. When making your selections consider all of the available information, trust your eyes, trust your head and buy a good bull from a breeder who manages a cowherd like you manage yours. 6 Stockmen s Source Beef Bulls

7 Herd Management Springs We manage our cows as cost-effectively as we can, no extra equipment and no creep feed. Our cows calve in the river bottom and move to Sandhills pastures for the summer, where they are A.I. bred using a timed breeding system then exposed to clean up bulls for days. They bred up at 96.5% in Our cows are rotationally grazed over the summer on native Sandhills range. We handle them horseback, mostly, and they all go through the corrals at least 3 times in the summer for A.I. where we handle them on foot as well. They even get moved with a 4-wheeler once in a while, so they have seen about everything at some point or another. After being fence-line weaned, the calves stay on grass for 3-4 weeks and are supplemented every other day with DDG. The cows move to corn stalks from November to late March and are not supplemented until mid to late January, then we use a little alfalfa for protein supplement. The weaned bull and steer calves winter on native range and corn stalks and are supplemented with DDG. They are exposed to the same grazing conditions they will experience every winter the rest of their life. Falls The yearling bulls graze native range for the summer, usually through mid-november, before returning to corn stalks where we supplement them with distillers prior to the sale. The end result, two of last year s sale bulls headed to the corral for delivery, thanks to the Kalkowski family and Roy and Rosemary Anderson for their purchases of these two last year. Our fall cows and heifers are calved on native range. The heifers are 20 miles from home and checked once daily or less often at times. This helps us select for true calving ease, vigor and mothering ability. A short 50 day breeding season after A.I. helps us select for fertility. In 2018 they bred up at 93%, in 2017 it was 98%. The fall calving pairs go from fall range to cornstalks in mid November. There they are supplemented alfalfa through January. After that it is just cornstalks until April 1. From there they were weaned 45 days in a lot then went to summer grass mid-may. After coming off grass Sep. 21 the fall born bulls were fed cane hay, corn and ddg in a 15 acre trap until cornstalks were available in November. They had to be locked up for a time in December due to weather, but returned to stalks in January until sale day Open House Bull Sale 7

8 Urlacher Sons C F C Urlacher V53 - Age 4 Selected as a past high-seller here from our partners, Urlacher offered a pedigree and phenotype we were excited to use on Full Bore daughters. He blends the proven growth and carcass merit of EXT A1747 and Power Alliance and is backed by a potent daughter of our 796C donor cow that began our partnership. We think the Urlacher sons are solid all-purpose Angus bulls that can satisfy many segments of the industry, the kind to keep you in the cow business.

10 Stimulus Sons Connealy Stimulus Age 10 Stimulus is an ABS sire that has been extremely well-proven through the Circle A Sire Alliance test that comprehensively tests a bull s progeny for growth, carcass traits, feed efficiency, and maternal traits. Stimulus progeny moved him toward the top for feed efficiency and maternal performance, and his actual progeny carcass data place him in the best 20% of the Angus breed for IMF, REA, and FAT. As a result, he ranks in the top 10% of the breed for $Grid. We think he is unique because he also ranks in the top 25% for heifer pregnancy EPD and the top 20% for $EN and $Weaning. He is truly a balanced trait sire that is equally useful for improving carcass traits and generating replacement females. There is very limited Stimulus semen available so we are using him on cows we have a lot of appreciation for. You can buy these Stimulus sons with complete confidence.

This pair offers strong potential as calving ease cow-maker type breeder bulls. We have collected semen and used a little of the Cornerstone bull, but time will only tell which one is superior. The combination of the proven production and longevity of the 702 daughters along with the prolific record and kind of the 2022 cow and her daughters is something to get excited about. This mating fits our paradigm that cows must be able to hustle in their environment to earn their keep on lower quality forages, but should also offer plenty of growth potential to the feeding industry. With semen on their sire being limited, we feel this pair has as much potential to carry on the legacy as any of his sons to date.
