1 E. D. ANGUS 16th Annual Bull Sale Sunday March 20, 2016 at the Ranch Ashby, NE

2 E. D. ANGUS March 2016 Dear Cattlemen, E. D. ANGUS Welcome to our 16th Annual bull sale, March 20th here at Ashby at 2 pm (MDT), for our live auction. We're excited about the sire groups we're offering this year including 12 sons out of our herd sire Vin-Mar Black Iron The Black Iron calves topped all three progeny groups (bulls, steers & heifers) in weaning weight this fall. Since cattle prices have dropped off considerably from last year...now is the time to look for new growth genetics that will add pounds and these Black Iron sons fit that bill. Weaning weight still pays the bills for most of us and we encourage you to look at the Angus breed average and our sale offering comparison table on page 3. Our sale offering is just a hair less than the breed average on the BW EPD but our bulls were 30 lbs. heavier on their 205 day weights and 15 pounds more than breed average on their WW EPD. More pounds, more dollars. Our cattle must work for a living just like yours and we manage them the same way most commercial herds are managed here in the Sandhills. We don't creep feed the calves prior to weaning, wanting those weaning weights to be a true reflection of calves own genetic potential, their dams milking ability and what Mother Nature provides in the forage. With our earlier sale date this year, the catalog was prepared about two weeks earlier than last year and we haven't collected yearling data before the catalog went to print. Be sure to check out our website for yearling data, ultrasound scan data and scrotal measurements in the weeks to come. We'd like to thank all of our customers past and present for our success over the years. You have made our progress possible. As always, you're welcome to stop by any time and look at the bulls here at home. Want to see what the female side of the calf crop looks like? Allow a little extra time for your visit and you can see the "girls" too. There's a heavy Black Iron influence in this group as well and we're looking forward to seeing them reach production. The sale starts promptly at 2 pm. There'll be finger foods and good visiting after the sale. Mark March 20th on your calendar. See ya then.

They have received a breeding soundness exam and a Vibrio Lepto vaccination. All bulls are negative for PI BVD. Retaining Interests: E D Angus is retaining 1/3 interest in all bulls sold, unless otherwise stated in catalog or on the block.

The owners and their staff assume no liability for property loss or any accident that may occur. Catalog Design & Typset by: JC RANCH DESIGNS - Jessamyn Voss Printed by LIVESTOCKDIRECT.NET LOSS OF USE/MORTALITY INSURANCE OR BREEDING SEASON GUARANTEE E D Angus bull buyers will have their choice of the Mortality/Loss of Use coverage OR the published Breeding Season Guarantee listed on page 2. E D Angus will pay 1/2 the cost (5% of the purchase price, the remaining 5% will be added to the buyers invoice) if the buyer chooses the Loss of Use/Mortality coverage over the Breeding Season Guarantee. The policy will be in effect for one year from the date of purchase. Loss of Use /Mortality Coverage: The value of the bull considered to be the purchase price as listed on the Date of Sale, considered to be the Agreed Value on the policy. The only exceptions are if, during the policy term, you attempt to sell the bull at auction but it does not sell, have it appraised at a lower value than the purchase price or castrate the bull. Full Mortality: 100% of the value of the bull(s) in the event of death or humane destruction as a result of a life-threatening injury. All claims must be immediately reported to the Company. All mortality claims made to the Company require a post mortem examination by a Veterinarian. Accident, Sickness & Disease (ASD) Infertility (formerly Loss of Use) Claims settled at 80% of the value of the bull, less salvage value, in the event of permanent impotency, infertility or being incapable of serving females as a result of an accident, illness, or disease sustained during the policy. Coverage: The coverage is available on the Date of Sale for those who choose to insure their bull(s). The policy will insure the bull from the Date of Sale for a period of One Year. All claims must be immediately reported to the Company. All mortality claims made to the Company require a post mortem examination by a Veterinarian. Under the ASD Infertility extension of coverage, the animal s inability to naturally service cows must be diagnosed by a Veterinarian. A Loss as defined by the policy shall occur if after the date of diagnosis and first report, the bull cannot breed due to accident, illness or disease. The Company may require a second examination to affirm infertility. (Fertility tests can provide negative readings due to weather, change in feed, etc.) Failure of a Breeding Soundness Exam is not in and of itself necessarily indicative of an accident, illness or disease. This is an abbreviated summation of the actual policy terms and conditions. Please read the entire policy for full coverage details. (See Breeding Season guarantee on page 3). 2

4 E. D. ANGUS Clint, Suzy, Ed & Joe Hebbert Home 308/ Clint Cell (308) i50k Genomic Zoetis Testing The bulls with this icon in their pedigree have EPD's that have been genomically enhanced (GE-EPDs). Genomic results are a way to enhance predictability of current selection tools, to achieve higher accuracy (increased predictability and decreased risk) on EPDs for younger animals. This means that in addition to the pedigree, performance and progeny information that are used in the calculation and reporting of Angus EPDs, genomic test results have also been incorporated into the EPD. These GE-EPDs on unproven (non-parent) or young animals have the same amount of accuracy as if they had recorded 8-20 calves, depending on the trait. Angus Breed average EPD & Performance comparison with E D Angus 2016 Bull Sale Offering. We've worked hard to keep our herd's EPD and performance in check, to balance with our environment. This should allow you to make our bulls work well in your herds, to bring you extra dollars in the fall without breaking your feed budget. E D Angus bull s weaning weights, yearling weights, $W & $B were significantly higher than breed average. Their milk epd's average is also significantly lower than the breed average. Act BW 205 wt CED EPD BW EPD WW EPD YW EPD Milk EPD SC $W $B Angus Breed Average: E D Angus Average: BREEDING SEASON GUARANTEE All bulls selling for $4,000 or more will be covered 50% by E.D. Angus, if they are injured during their first breeding season. Breeding season is defined as the 90-day period following the first turnout of the bulls. Fifty % of the value of the injured bull, minus any salvage value, will be given as credit in a future sale or toward a replacement bull if one is available. All injured bulls must be diagnosed by a veterinarian. Please notify us as soon as possible should injury occur and prior to animal being sold for salvage. A copy of the sales receipt must be received by E D Angus to receive proper credit. All claims must be made by September 1, Example 1: A $8,000 bull is injured and will not heal. A credit of $4,000 minus any salvage value will be given the buyer. Example 2: A $4,000 bull is injured and will not heal. A credit of $2,000 minus any salvage value will be given the buyer. Example 3: A $3,900 bull is injured and will not heal. No credit is given. Buyer retains all salvage value. This is not a mortality policy. Nor does it cover mismanagement.
