3 Dear Friends & Cattleman, \We welcome you to our 13 th Annual Bull Sale. It s always our pleasure to host our annual sale at the ranch. We look forward to visiting with friends and past customers, as well as creating new friendships. Our customers are number one and we are constantly searching for ways to assist each of you. This year we have moved the sale day to Sunday, enabling more folks to attend the sale or bid online with LiveAuctions.TV, and we have videos of all the bulls on our website. The cattle business is our only business allowing us to concentrate on breeding better cattle to meet all your genetic needs. As we reflect on the history of the beef industry, sound, high performing cattle with eye appeal and uniformity have commanded premium prices. We have set tough selection standards and made breeding decisions based not only on numbers but fertility, soundness, phenotype and actual temperament. In a recent article entitled, Bumping the Wall, Dr. Field notes that in pastures and feedyards he has seen more foot and leg problems and foot abnormalities than he had never seen before. And Stan Bevers, a Texas AgriLife Extension agricultural economist said, People don t want to hear it, but I can find no credible evidence suggesting the average weaning weight per calf has increased in this country for the last 10 years. As EPDs have climbed steadily over the years, we have to wonder if they are reflective of the actual advances made in beef production. One thing is for sure, the beef industry has limited the gene pool that is available. At Lazy JB it has been our goal to provide our customers with cattle that are functional with BALANCED traits and a variety of bloodlines. There is no one more critical of our cattle than us. Our combined families experience spans 3 generations and over 50 years. We know our cattle and what they can do. If you re concerned that these cattle can t perform under conditions similar to yours, let us assure you they can. We calve in open pastures, summer on rugged mountains and develop the bulls and heifers just a few miles from the ranch at high altitude. With that said, we know you will find the bull you are looking for. This set of bulls is exceptionally strong from top to bottom. These bulls have demonstrated that they can perform under the stress of high altitude, imagine what they can do for you. We thank you for taking the time to look over the sale book and we hope you ll make the trip to Montrose on the 16 th of March. Come join us for our famous barbecue beef lunch. And please feel free to give us a call; we are here to answer any questions you have. Jeff, Kathi, Brandon & Britney Richard & Elaine Rd., Montrose, CO kathi@lazyjb.com 2

20 Our Sincere Appreciation to the Following Dr. Tim Holt, Fort Collins, CO for testing our cattle. Dr. David Kuntz for fertility, trich and BVD testing. Western Slope Animal Hospital for providing us with our general herd health needs Wesley Brown for ultrasounding our cattle. Wolf Cattle Company for leasing us summer pasture Montrose FFA for serving lunch Understanding Birth EPDs There s not a single person out there who wants to spend every waking minute with their cows and assisting with births. And in a search to reduce the labor and death loss of calving some producers have been selecting primarily for low-birthweight-epd bulls. What we ve noticed is that the birth EPD is NOT fully understood. So let s take a look at what these numbers actually mean. An EPD is a prediction of the average progeny performance, not a guarantee. To demonstrate how birth weight EPDs work, consider the following two bulls in Example 1. Example: Birth weight EPD EPD in pounds: Sire A +5.1 Sire B +1.2 The expected difference in the progeny of Sire A and Sire B for birth weight is 3.9 pounds. Sire A has an EPD of +5.1 and Sire B has an EPD of On the average, it would be expected that the calves from Sire A would be 3.9 pounds heavier at birth than calves from Sire B. This is assuming that all calves are managed uniformly and are from cows of similar genetic merit and age. How one selects their bulls will more than likely change when an understanding of Birth EDPs is developed. Rather than searching for the lowest birth EPD in the sale, we should compare the birth EPDs using the mathematical equation demonstrated above. Before heading off to the next bull sale an evaluation of your cow herd, including birth weights, calving issues is important before selecting a bull, but don t forget to look at all the traits! Selection based on a single trait can cost you performance and money. We are in the beef business; there is no substitute for fertility, soundness and performance. In the February 2012 edition of the Angus Beef Bulletin, American Angus Association Regional Manager, David Gazda, At the risk of being controversial, many of these small calf scenarios could be eliminated if the producers would simply be willing to accept more birth weight, particularly when breeding mature cows. One only has to attend a production or test station sale to witness firsthand how the heavier-birth-weight-epd bulls are penalized and therefore sell at a substantial discount. Have calving-ease and low-birth-weight EPDs been overemphasized to commercial producers? Maybe; maybe not. 19

21 A Very Special Thank You to All Our Customers. We appreciate your support and value your friendship. Thanks to our Friends for Helping with the Sale Measurements Over the years cattlemen have attempted to reduce the selection and the development of cattle to numbers on a piece of paper. In reality there are numerous factors that affect the production and performance of cattle. We believe that scores are an important selection tool but are often misunderstood. The registered bull business is extremely competitive creating a NUMBERS RACE. Every breeder has a different theory and philosophy regarding scores. In all fairness to our customers who graze cattle at high altitude and those who do not we want to share with you the facts: Cattle at 6,000 or above feet are most at risk for Brisket or High Altitude Disease. Cattle tested at low elevations (less than 5000 feet) may have acceptably low scores at that time, but when retested at higher elevations the score may increase. To increase the repeatability of the test cattle should be tested at 6,000 feet or higher and must be at that elevation for at least 3-6 weeks 41 and below low risk moderate risk 46 and above high risk The test can HELP determine which animals are most at risk for brisket disease or a possible genetic risk, detecting the early stages of the problem, and elevated measurement. Interestingly, the problem sometimes appears in feedlot cattle, even at low elevations, as they get heavier and closer to finish weight. This entire situation is not fully understood at this time but may be related to growth, size and the body s demand for more oxygen, because the heart must work harder. A special thanks to Dr. Tim Holt for continually providing us with information and assistance in understanding High Altitude Disease and measurements. 20
