2 The Brand for INTEGRITY - PERFORMANCE - EXCELLENCE Welcome to our fourteenth annual Gold Bullion Bull Production Sale! Our sale will still be held at Kansas Bull Development on the Onaga Road Northeast of Wamego, KS on Sunday, March 6. For the fourth year, we put a brand on the lower right quarter of our bulls of GB. However, we used the old philosophy The quality goes in before the brand goes on. This means that we culled some bulls at weaning, some on pedigree, some on performance at Kansas Bull Development, and some on disposition before the brand went on. The auction format is a video auction and no bulls will go thru the ring. The bulls will be available for viewing on Friday afternoon on the 27th in the second farthest Southwest lot at KBD, and in group pens on sale day. The gold Bullion group consists of: Brooks, Marple, Drake, and Schaake. The weather was mild and dry until mid December when it rained a couple of inches, got extremely muddy, and then froze for several weeks. The bulls gained about what we had targeted on the high roughage ration over a 92 day test. The bulls were very healthy and they look great. Once again, we think we are offering a very good set of bulls. A video of the bulls will be uploaded to our website: We developed the catalog with the bulls listed in sale order to allow you to more easily keep track of the bulls and their corresponding data during the sale. In appreciation for recommending our sale to friends and neighbors, we are offering a $50 cash discount gift to customers whose new referrals purchase a bull. Please let us know if you qualify. All bulls being sold passed a breeding soundness exam, tested negative for PI-BVD, and were vaccinated for Lepto-Vibrio. All SimAngus bulls are non-carriers of Arthrogryposis (Curly Calf Syndrome) and non-carriers of Neuropathic Hydrocephalus (by pedigree or DNA tests). Ultrasound data for carcass traits are included in the catalog as well. Artificial insemination and embryo transfer have been used extensively by the breeders. We are committed to Performance, Excellence, and Integrity. Strength in our collective numbers of years in breeding quality, performance cattle will bring strength to your numbers. Our group brings combined experiences from the show ring, the classroom, the feed yard, retail sales, and research. Thank you for your interest in the Gold Bullion Bull sale. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday, March 6th. Lunch will be complimentary. Names and information on the group.

Sale Day Phone Numbers Ralph Brooks Cassidy Brooks Calvin Drake Darren Drake Scott Schaake Troy Marple Sale Terms and Conditions All animals sell under the terms and conditions set forth by their representative breed association. Health/Management All bulls have received IBR, BVD, P13, BRSV, 7-way blackleg; and at least two rounds of Ivermectin or Dectomax (for internal and external parasites). In addition, the bulls were vaccinated with Spirovac VL5 (new Lepto-Hardjo + four other strains). All bulls were tested for brucellosis, and all bulls tested negative for PI/BVD. The fall bulls will have lower growth and carcass numbers as they were produced on grass until July and then brought along slowly. Bulls/Fertility Guarantee All bulls were fertility tested by Dr. Lee Penner, DVM, Manhattan, Kansas, and sell as guaranteed breeders for the first breeding season, through This guarantee does not include loss due to abuse, neglect, illness and/or acts of God (lightning, flood, etc.). We recommend retesting of bulls before pasture turn out. In the event a bull is not a breeder, he will be replaced or credit will be given on another bull. Note this does not cover death. We strongly recommend death insurance. Semen Interest Each owner is retaining1/3 semen interest in all bulls unless otherwise announced. For most commercial programs, this will not interfere with the natural service use of the bull. It means that the breeder may want to arrange with the buyer to collect semen on a bull. Or, in the case that the bull proves to be a superior sire, and the buyer and/or breeder market semen on a bull, the breeder would share in 1/3 of the profit and get semen at cost.

4 The Value of Performance Simmental and SimAngus bulls can easily add lbs. to weaning weights in British based cowherds, and their progeny will perform well in the feed yard and on the rail if you retain ownership until harvest. In addition, females from Simmental and SimAngus sired calves would make great replacements, especially when the females are Simmental x British crosses. Using current calf prices, a bull that sires an average of 25 calves per year for 4 years and adds 30 lbs. average weaning weight per calf at $175/100 lbs. would be worth at least $6,050 more than the price of a bull that adds no additional weight at weaning. You can do the math if they add more weaning weight than 30 lbs. and sell for a higher price than this example. For producers who keep replacement females and retain ownership through the feedlot of all steers and heifers not kept for replacements, the ASA All Purpose Index (API) does a great job of identifying potential value differences among bulls. For example, a bull with an API of 130 would be worth $30 more per calf than a sire with an API of 100. Using these two example API values, if a bull produces 30 calves per year for 4 years, the value difference between these two bulls is $3,600! Benefits of Crossbreeding Capitalizing on heterosis by crossbreeding is a very valuable tool in beef cattle production. Probably the most significant and long term study of heterosis was conducted by the USDA Agricultural Research Service in Nebraska. That study showed that 80 crossbred cows producing crossbred calves are as economical in life cycle production as 100 straight bred cows raising straight bred calves! This 20% bonus in efficiency starts with the increased fertility of crossbred cows, which is followed by increased vigor and hardiness of the newborn calves. Crossbred cows producing crossbred calves wean a higher percentage of calf crop and the calves are heavier. This carries over to increased performance of the calves in the feedlot. Crossbred calves also usually sell for higher prices. In addition to all of these advantages, longevity of crossbred cows is also increased, which means that more heifers can be sold or finished in a feedlot rather than kept for replacements. Using Gold Bullion Simmental and SimAngus bulls on Angus based cows or other British breeds to create Simmental crossbred feeder calves and replacements is a great way to capitalize on heterosis. SimAngus (Angus or Red Angus) crossbred calves and replacement females are second to none as either feeder calves or replacement females! Research at the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center shows that Simmental and Angus breeds rank first or second among Continental and British breeds, respectively, in nearly all traits studied. Using SimAngus bulls (1/2 or 3/4) on SimAngus females capitalizes on approximately 85% of the heterosis obtained from a threebreed rotational crossbreeding program. This is also a very convenient system because a producer does not have to have different pastures for different breeds of bulls. This system also stabilizes a herd at approximately 50% Continental x 50% British breeding. In addition, SimAngus bulls have an advantage in longevity. Ultrasound Measurements Explained Fat Thickness - measured at the 12th-13th rib and reported in inches. Most of the fat thickness measurements on these bulls are in a very desirable range; which means they have some fat Ultrasound Measurements Explained Ribeye Area - measure at the 12th-13th rib and reported in square inches. REA is an important component of the USDA yield grade determinations of beef carcasses. Larger ribeyes result in more desirable yield grade numbers and a higher percent of the carcass as trimmed retail product. Yearling bulls should have at least 1.1 square inchest/100 lb. of live weight, and larger ribeye areas are generally more desirable. However, extremely large ribeyes (> 1.3 square inches/100 lb. of live weight) are not necessarily desirable. %Intramuscular Fat - percentage of Intramuscular Fat, (%IMF) measured in a longitudinal scan of the ribeye muscle from the 11th to the 13th rib. It is a measure of marbling, which is the primary factor that determines USDA quality grade of carcasses. %IMF values for yearling Simmental bulls generally fall in the range of 2.0 to 4.5%. Yield Grade - EPDS for Yield Grade are calculated from ultrasound measurements. YG is the USDA grading system for determining % meat yield differences among carcasses. USDA yield grades are numbered 1-5, with 1 representing a very muscular, trim carcass with a high % meat yield; and a 5 representing a very fat, light-muscled carcass with a low % meat yield. Yield grades can be calculated to the nearest 10th, such as 2.5, 3.9, etc. The average range for Simmental sired progeny would be about EPDs - values above or below breed average CE BW WW YW MCE MM MW CW YG MB BF REA API TI Calving Ease - % unassisted births from two-year old heifers. Example: For a CE EPD of 15, one would expect 10% more unassisted births than for a bull with an EPD of 5. Birth Weight - pounds of birth weight Weaning Weight - pounds of weaning weight due to growth. Yearling Weight - pounds of yearling weight due to growth. Maternal CE - % unassisted births from calving daughters. Maternal Milk - pounds of weaning weight due to dam s milk. Maternal WW - pounds of weaning weight due to dam s milk and growth. Carcass Weight - pounds of carcass weight. Yield Grade - tenths of a yield grade. Marbling - percent of marbling score or %IMF Back Fat or Rib Fat - inches of carcass back fat thickness. Ribeye Area - square inches of ribeye All Purpose Index - $ per cow exposed under an all-purpose-sire scenario. Terminal Index - $ per cow exposed under a terminal-sire scenario.

The perfect blend of visual appeal, exceptional growth figures and balanced progeny differences all comes together in this mating. This is what we all strive for and only occasionally does it happen. Not only did these bulls set the bar high for growth and gain, but they clearly exceeded our expectations when we got the scan data back.

19 The Gold Bullion Consignors My family homesteaded in this area in 1854 (The Kansas Flint Hills) and each generation has continued to live in the area. Brooks Simmental was started in 1986 with 2 black Simmental cows. I enjoy a small amount of showing and helping my granddaughter (Cassidy) show in 4-H, KJSA and the St Fair. I produce sound functional cattle with a good disposition. I work by myself and can t have cattle with bad attitudes. I strive for moderate framed and easy calving cattle but not giving up growth. Carcass quality is important as producing commercial bulls is my primary goal. All of this is produced thru AI and an extensive ET program. You will see the cow, Miss Kansas K 11G throughout my pedigrees. She is the # 2 cow in the Simmental breed for the number of calves produced, currently approaching 250 with a life time production of over $1,000, Ralph Brooks Diamond D Simmentals was established in the Flint Hills near Manhattan, Kansas in 1968 By Calvin and Mary Louise Drake. Semen, imported from Canada, was used on Angus and Polled Hereford cows to enhance the polled gene. Artificial insemination has been used for 33 years. Easy-fleshing, polled, rapid-growing females that calve easily are selected as replacement heifers. EPDs are used in selection and carcass quality is stressed. Only AI sire having sound EPDs and correct structure are selected. Both red and black cows comprise the herd of about 40 head. This is one of the earliest Simmental herds established in America still in continuous operation. Calvin is a retired professor of Animal Science at Kansas State University and spent several years in the cattle feeding industry. 25 Calvin & Mary Louise, Cochise, Adryanna & Darren The Schaake s have been breeding Simmental cattle since 1974, after an introduction to the breed when Scott showed the Grand Champion steer (Simmental x Hereford) at the county fair. Artificially breeding our black cows to Simmental bulls gave us our start in black-factored Simmental genetics in In fact, many of our leading cow families trace back to Chipper N726, who defined the word longevity She remained a productive donor cow to the age of 20 years. Currently our program utilizes artificial insemination and embryo transfer. Selection pressure for calving ease, maternal influence, moderate growth, disposition and a manageable mature size has been stressed for several generations. Attention to structural correctness, fleshing ability and marketing appeal has been a priority since day one. Shane, Shilo, Scott & Kandi Scott, Kandi, Shilo, Melissa & Shane with Sis & Sage 25 The Marple s have been involved with Simmental cattle for the better part of 40 years. Troy grew up in a Simmental family which is still operating in S.E. Kansas today. Nicole has been the secretary for K.S.A. for several years. Logan & Laney are actively involved in K.J.S.A. Marple Farms was established in 2006 and has grown steadily ever since. We utilize a program that consists of 100% AI & embryo transfer. Our breeding program is based on some basic fundamentals. We always select for Calving Ease, Growth, Maternal and Carcass Traits. We won t sacrifice one for another and we refuse to chase the extremes. We are always going to place selection pressure on Disposition, Structural integrity and phenotype. Troy, Nicole, Logan and Laney All four of us market a few select females in the Skoal Creek Simmental Sale at Liberty, MO. on February 28th. 25 This signifies that all of us have been ASA members for more than 25 years.
