3 Welcome Curtis, Troy, Heather & Laurie Brown Cattlemen, Welcome to our 26th Annual Production Sale. We are proud of the cattle we have to offer you this year. It would be our honor for you to come and evaluate our cattle, for I think we have some of the best genetics available to increase your profi t potential in your herd to take you into the future. We live in such an ever so changing world today, but rest assured at our ranch, one thing does not change we want our customers to be satisfied. Our decisions we make on a daily bases affect our customers as well as our own well being. With that being said we feel our cattle go through the most rigorous culling program which allows us to be confident in our cattle to go on and work the hardest they can for you, our customer! In the offering you will fi nd a set of fall coming 2-year-olds that no other will match or beat the quality that runs thru them. The yearlings will stand the most scrutinizing eye for detail. They are bred for calving ease, longevity, disposition and to be profi t- able for our customers. Our cattle are bred to be consumer friendly, their progeny needs to go and hang on the rail and be a very attractive product for the people in the world to eat. The two virgin 2-year-olds will go out and cover rough country like they should and be able to get the cows bred. On the female side, we have fi ve very fancy open registered heifers. They will grow up to be very productive cows for their new owners. They are selected from proven cows that have passed that test already and to get the job done well. The 20 commercial heifer pairs that are in the offering will be no different then the quality of the registered cattle in this sale. They have been culled and selected for this sale for one purpose and one only for their new owner to make money and be profi table for many years to come with them. Please accept our thanks in advance for considering our cattle to go into your herds. Be assured we have tried our best to make it a pleasurable venture for both you and our cattle to go into the future. Please join us for some lunch at the sale. Thanks again for attending! Sincerely, Curtis 1

25 Open Heifers These heifers were selected right out of the replacement pen. They are very fancy. One might even be able to pick a show prospect out of this pen. But I will leave that up to someone with the eye for that kind of thing. They will make excellent cows and are guaranteed to milk and raise a big calf come fall. 126 C-B MS ROSERIE 126 2/14/11 P F BW WW 205 Ratio EC-JAB PETRIE 809 PLD JCR SIR DUKE 041 C-B MS DUDLEY 562 C-B MS PAUL 277 VCR SIR DUKE 914 PLD WCR MISS MAC 638 WCR SIR PAUL 882 ET P WCR MISS EASE Nice female out of our 809 bull and a Duke 041 dam.

27 AICA EPD Guide Calving Ease Direct (CE) is expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births in first calf heifers. A higher value indicates greater calving ease. It predicts the average difference in unassisted births with which a sire s calves will be born when bred to first-calf heifers. Birth Weight EPD (BW) The expected difference in average birth weight (pounds) of progeny. Birth weight reflects prenatal growth. Calving Ease Maternal (MCE) is expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births in first calf daughters. A higher value indicates greater calving ease. It predicts the average difference in unassisted births with which a sire s daughters will calve as first-calf heifers when compared to daughters of other sires. Weaning Weight EPD (WWT) The expected difference in average weaning weight of calves. The evaluation reflects the genetic influence on pre-weaning growth rate. Yearling Weight EPD (YWT) The expected difference in average yearling weight of progeny. The evaluation reflects genetic influence on both pre-weaning and postweaning growth rate. Maternal Milk EPD (MAT) The genetic ability of a sire s or dam s daughters to express in pounds of weaning weight in her calves due to her maternal ability through mothering instinct and milk. Total Maternal EPD (TOTMAT) A value to predict the weaning weight performance of calves from a animal s daughters due to genetics for growth and maternal ability. Total Maternal is calculated by adding ½ the WWT EPD to the Maternal Milk EPD. Scrotal Circumference EPD (SC) The expected difference in scrotal circumference (expressed in centimeters) of a bull s or dam s male offspring at yearling compared to progeny of all other animals evaluated. Research has also indicated a relationship between increased SC EPD and decreased age at puberty for daughters. Carcass Weight EPD (HCW) Expected progeny differences for Carcass Weight is a predictor of pounds of retail product at a constant age endpoint. Selection for increased values should result in heavier carcasses, while selection for decreased values should result in lighter carcass weights at the same age endpoint. Carcass Weight EPD are expressed in pounds and is a predictor of the differences in hot carcass weight between parents progeny at an age constant endpoint. Ribeye Area EPD (REA) Ribeye area is measured from a cross-sectional area of the longissimus dorsi muscle at the 12th rib. Ribeye area is a major component of the USDA yield grade equation and selection for increased ribeye area should result in larger ribeyes and lower yield grades between animals with the same carcass weight. Ribeye area has a positive relationship with weight, the larger the animal the larger the ribeye area. Ribeye Area EPD are expressed in square inches and is a predictor of differences in ribeye area between parents progeny at a constant age endpoint. Fat Thickness EPD (FAT) Fat thickness is measured at the 12th rib and is the primary component to the USDA Yield Grade equation. Fat thickness has a negative relationship to cutability; therefore, selection base on decreased fat thickness should result in lower yield grades and leaner cattle given the same age endpoint. Fat Thickness EPD are expressed in inches and are a predictor of differences in fat thickness between parent s progeny at an age constant endpoint. Marbling Score (MARB) Marbling is a subjective measure of the amount of intramuscular fat in the ribeye muscle. Marbling score is the primary component of USDA Quality grade and selection for increased Marbling Score EPD should result in cattle with higher quality grades at the same age endpoints. Marbling score has a small genetic correlation with fat, therefore producers may select for increased marbling score EPD while not changing external fat thickness when cattle are harvested at the same age-constant endpoint. Marbling EPD is a prediction of the differences in the USDA subjective marbling score between parent s progeny at an age constant endpoint.
