2 Porter Ranches Yearling Bull Sale Bulls Welcome to the 2018 edition of our bull sale catalogue. The offering has evolved this year to another level of uniformity with a improved degree of predicability. This has been improved by maintaining depth of pedigree, with a focus on balanced epd selection. The offering comes again with ultra sound data that enhances our ability to select on the basis of more heritable traits and measure the progression or regression we make year over year. As you page through the offering it is with great pride that we are able to offer industry leading bulls that are within the top 25% for calving, maternal, and carcass traits. These numbers are not given out on the basis of visual appraisal, but instead are calculated on the basis of production performance and measurement. These bulls have been bred to breed not fed to founder. Today, as I write this welcome message we have been calving for 2 weeks and have achieved 75% of the herd calved out. To have that conception rate I believe is the result of a hands off process that allows the cows to calve unassisted, and be genetically matched to our management system that she milks appropriately and is able to compete and get bred, for there are no excuses after June 1st. Good bulls here come from females that perform on their own and meet the management expectation that keeps them in the herd. Keith, Sandy, Hunter, Emilie, Marie & Kevin Time waits for no-one, and making the right selection of a herd sire is impactful to the success of your calf crop and cow herd for generations to come. It is with our best intention that we offer bulls that improve your farm and ranch business and enhance your quality of life by letting the genetics and hoofs on the ground take care of themselves, with some good feed. New this year we will be offering 20 cow/calf pairs, they will be selling without papers and will fit well into any commercial operation. A nice opportunity to add some nice young females into a herd that have had a good start. As always our 3D Sale Team of Dan Skeels, Dean Edge, Darryl Snider and Bohrson Marketing Services will be available to assess the bulls and provide insight in a bull that fits your needs. We welcome your inquiries about our cattle. We would appreciate the opportunity to show you our cattle and assist you in making selections for your program. We look forward to seeing you on or before March 16th.

3 Porter Ranches Yearling Bull Sale Bulls SALE OFFERING SIMMENTAL AVERAGE Red / Black Simmental & 1/2 Blood Max Yearling Bulls 20 Cow Calf Pairs 63 CE BWT WWT YWT MCE MWWT Milk CW REA FAT MB API All Bulls are Vet Inspected & Semen Tested Prior to Sale Day EPD EXPLANATION. The initial EPD on an animal has about 20% accuracy. As we mate these cattle and through selection for good conformation and good phenotype measure (like weighing and ultra-sounding) we will, in time, improve the accuracy. EPD s express an animal s potential within a given population. To get the animal to express that potential, the goal would be to mate it with an animal of equivalent EPD potential, which will improve the consistency of the cattle in the overall herd. Success will be found when you have the highest number of traits with average population EPD number expression. It is important not to deviate from the type of bulls you want the direction of your herd to take. Consistency leads to uniformity of the animals in your herd. This will not happen overnight, however you will see improvement in certain traits depending on that traits heritability. CE = Calving Ease - % of unassisted births (the higher the number the better!) BW = Birth Weight pounds of birth weight (the lower the number, the lighter the calves) WW = Weaning Weight pounds of weaning weight (the higher the number, the more pounds will be weaned) YW = Yearling Weight pounds of yearling weight (the higher the number the more pounds as a yearling) MCE = Maternal Calving Ease predicts calving ease of a bull s daughters (the higher the number the better) MM = Maternal Milk pounds of calf weaned by a bull s daughters. A management number with reflection of the environment and feed resources. CWT = Carcass Weight estimates the average differences in carcass weight REA = Square inches of ribeye area (0.57 is average) FAT = inches of back fat measured over the 12th and 13th rib (0.59 is average) MARB = numerical marbling score (-0.06 is average) API = used to rank Simmental on an Angus cowherd. Maternal traits are calculated to retain the female value as replacements. The remaining progeny are put on feed and valued on carcass merit. This is an inclusive number, and the higher the number, predicts more retained value in the animal. Ultrasound Data will be available March 1 on our website.
