2 Welcome... Welcome to our 10th Annual Bull Sale! I d like to start off by saying that if global warming is manmade keep up the good work. If we all pull together we can make Greenland green again! Well, now that I got the tree huggers mad at me we better get down to business. This will be our 17th year selling bulls, and our 10th year that we ve had a sale. This just doesn t get old. The excitement we feel every calving season as we wait to see if we made the right choice the spring before on what bull we bred to what cow just gets bigger and bigger the more generations of cows you add to the equation. This year is no exception as we start having our first Red TR Rolls Royce 44B, TR Deep Dark Knight 175B, and T-K Sand Hills 80B calves. We re plum giddy. This year s sale offering has got everything you need in an Angus bull, whether you re looking for easy calving heifer bulls, big powerful herd bulls, and bulls with carcass data that rival any in the breed. The Charolais bulls are really split in 2 groups. We have lower birth weight bulls from the Sparrow and Wilgenbusch bulls that have come off of our 2 year old heifers, and then a powerful set of herd bulls with a few real rippers in there. The ultrasound shows the Char bulls are only carrying on average.12 inches of rib fat, so they are in their working clothes. The bulls are being fed again at TFS Fincastle, and can be viewed there up until Wednesday, March 16th, at which time they will go to the Ag-plex. Again, thanks to Huey and his crew, the bulls look great. We moved the sale up a week this year, only because the 4th Friday in March, our regular date, is Good Friday this year. Please take this as a personal invitation to come out on the 18th, whether you need a bull or not, and help us celebrate our 10th Annual sale. The refreshments will be chilled, and the steak will be perfect.

We paid $33000 for walking rights and 25% semen interest in him. To date in Canada alone we have sold over $35000 worth of semen. We then sold walking rights back down south, plus everything but our 25% Canadian semen interest for $50000 American. Than our 2 high sellers last year were both sons at $60000 and $19500 respectfully. The crazy thing is, his daughters might be the even better part. 10 sons sell RS I ve said before that this might be the most powerful bull we ve ever used. They will be bigger calves at birth, but even so they are all born unassisted and there are never any extremes. He s a red-gene carrier out of a beautiful SAV Initiative daughter X Red SSS Endorse.

He only gets the leftovers, but he s a good enough bull that he turns plenty of them into quality breeding bulls. 4 sons sell A few theories on.. warm weather=lighter birthweights This is definitely the trend we see at our place. The reason I bring this up now is because I know a lot of bull buyers have a set birth weight mark they won t go over. The thing to keep in mind is that a 90 pound calf this year, as warm as it s been, can t be compared to a 90 pound calf from last year, or the year before. I m shooting myself in the foot here, because our birthweights in this year s sale are down on average a few pounds from the year before. Last year was a fairly mild winter, therefore the birthweights were a little lighter. This year so far, our birthweights are almost a good 10 pounds lighter. Generally speaking, a 90 pound calf in

We have a very maternal herd, so we were really looking for a bull like him to add some kick to the program. He s done exactly what we hoped he would do. 3 sons sell RS R5 Monument 087 IMP 0087X February # BW ADJ WW WW ADJ YW YW C R A BEXTOR TC ABERDEEN 759 TC BLACKBIRD 4034 CAF Do you h BALDRIDGE MULLEN M528 KMD LASS 54 KMD LADY NEW DAY 328 BW WW YW MLK TM CE MCE MAR FAT YG CW We continue to AI to Monument because we re all around impressed with the quality of his calves.

A prettier Angus cow you couldn t make. When you see the Escalade daughters, you d know why. He will fix udders, he will improve feet, and he will make a much more marketable carcass. We will continue to use him on that cow here and there that we feel needs a little something fixed in her. 3 sons sell Red SSS Endorse 639X RS R5 Monument 087 RED U2 Mission 253A DUA 253A January # BW ADJ WW WW ADJ YW YW RED LJC MISSION STATEMENT P27 RED U2 MISSION 61W RED U-2 STORMY 205M RED HOWE MR MATRIX 7L AMF RED U-2 LARKA 381N RED THAT'LL DO LARKA 74B BW WW YW MLK TM CE MCE MAR FAT YG CW We were in need of a top notch heifer bull ( as we always are) and this guy impressed us with his thickness and sound structure. $15000 later and I think we made a good choice. His calves are all small and vigorous, and the bull himself is docile as can be with a great foot on him. 5 sons sell RED & BLACK ANGUS REFERENCE SIRES Taber will be a 95 pound calf in Northern Alberta. You take that same calf to Texas, and he ll be well under 80 pounds. The colder the climate, the heavier the calf. Same goes generally for January/February born calves vs. April/May. I think it has to do with the amount of blood pumped through the umbilical cord in colder weather. I don t think you have to worry about it too much this year, but I think you ll want to keep it in mind next year when you re setting your weight limits.

6 6 Bull Warranty We guarantee to provide you with a sound, fertile bull capable of servicing a reasonable number of cows. In the event that your bull is a nonsatisfactory breeder the seller will not, under any circumstances, be responsible for more than the original selling price of any bull or female sold in the sale. The consignors will not provide replacement or credit for physical injury or mismanagement. Therefore we stress the importance of insurance on your bull.

Rollin Deep obviously got out somewhere along the way, and luckily he was born on a warm day, cause we weren t watching. He s a good long bull, and that little extra age will give him a little advantage in breeding bigger framed cows this spring.

A quick explanation on how the red gene is passed on If you breed a black red gene carrier to black cows with no red gene, you will get black calves. If some of your cows are black, but do have the red gene, then you have a 25% chance of getting a red calf. If you breed a black red gene carrier to red cows then you have a 50% chance of getting red calves. If you breed a red bull, with black in its pedigree to red cows, they will always be red calves. Red bred to red will always be red.

Several of the ultrasound measurements are comparable to the familiar carcass measurements. The data is simply collected on yearling bullsa and heifers instead of market ready steers. Take a step back from looking at the numbers and become comfortable with the terminology. ULTRASOUND CARCASS MEASUREMENTS RibFat/Backfat: An external fat measurement taken between the 12th and 13th rib reported in inches. Rib fat is the main trait that affects percent lean meat yield ie; A1, A2, A3 & A4. Percent lean meat yield is the calculation that estimates the percent of lean muscle on the carcass. For example, a lean meat yield of 60% on a 100lb carcass would have 600 lbs of lean muscle and 400 lbs of bone and fat. Ribeye Area (): An area measurement of the loin or ribeye muscle. Reported in square inches. While an increase in backfat wil lower the percent lean meat yield an increase in will raise the percent lean meat yield. : An external fat measurement taken from an image collected between the hooks and the pins of the animal.reported in inches. The rump fat measurement, coupled with the rib fat measurement will increase the accuracy of percent lean meat yield. Intramuscular Fat (%)/Marbling: This measurement determines the amount of fat within the muscle. Reported in %. This measurement us used to determine the quality grade of the carcass.
