Welcome Curtis, Troy, Heather & Laurie Brown Welcome to our Annual Production sale. We are proud of the offering we are bringing to town this year. We are optimistic about where the cattle industry is today and where it is heading. It is great to see the cow/calf producer receiving the prices they are at the sale barns. We think we have some years to come of this. Our bulls are bred and raised with the commercial breeder in mind. The bulls will sire calves that will calve easy and will push the scale down at weaning. Our bulls excel in performance and in eye appeal. Our fall yearlings are a very impressive group of bulls all sired by Topshelf. Some are ¾ brothers so this will allow you to breed uniformity in your herd if using multiple bulls. They will be ready for a little extra service and will be aggressive breeders. The yearlings will offer a lot of growth and length of body from all of our herdsires. Again this year we will have in the offering a set of Red Anguscross fi rst-calf heifers with an exceptional set of Charolais-cross calves at side. These are of top-quality genetics. The entire group of females are solid red with all buckskin calves. The 5 open heifers are also of top quality and right out of the replacement pen. They will be the herd-building kind of females that will raise big calves. We take pride in the cattle we are offering this year and we hope you can take the time to come and look through the cattle and find some of the best seedstock available this year to use in your herd. We have always stressed that we are here after the sale, for we want satisfi ed customers and will do our best to achieve that goal. Please join us on March 25th at 5:30 p.m. We will be serving lunch before the sale so come early. Thank you for your interest in our cattle. Sincerely, Curtis Brown 1

Remembering our Uncle Claire I want to dedicate this year s sale to our uncle. We lost him this last month. He enjoyed coming to the farm and watching our operation as we went through the day-to-day, sometimes busier times than they should be. He liked to help when he could and checked our cattle and crops sometimes on a daily basis. We enjoyed his laughter and joking humor that he shared with us sometimes only a few minutes in the fi eld or feedlot. We know he is looking over us still in another way and guiding us with his sense of humor. So long, Uncle, til we meet up again. God Bless.

Calves are all out of Bluegrass sons and tagged to match their dams. Calves were born the first half of February and will have a Draxxin shot before they come to the sale just for a precautionary measure. We have purchased most of these heifers from the same ranch in previous years and feel they will make outstanding brood cows as their calves will show it on sale day. These heifers were purchased from reputable herds in the area. Heifers were poured with Dectomax and vaccinated with Virasheild 6 VL5 in the fall. We will sell them 5 or more gate cut.

In the early years, he would always offer advice but would never go too far where you thought he was demeaning your cattle. He would simply say what the cattle need or how he would change them. I think his influence has helped me along the path that I have chosen and I think there are many out there that can say the same. I m gonna miss him not being at the sales hollering above the rest and arguing with the auctioneer that he was in! Well, TR, so long my friend.

AICA EPD Guide Calving Ease Direct (CE) is expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births in first calf heifers. A higher value indicates greater calving ease. It predicts the average difference in unassisted births with which a sire s calves will be born when bred to first-calf heifers. Birth Weight EPD (BW) The expected difference in average birth weight (pounds) of progeny. Birth weight reflects prenatal growth. Calving Ease Maternal (MCE) is expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births in first calf daughters. A higher value indicates greater calving ease. It predicts the average difference in unassisted births with which a sire s daughters will calve as first-calf heifers when compared to daughters of other sires. Weaning Weight EPD (WWT) The expected difference in average weaning weight of calves. The evaluation reflects the genetic influence on pre-weaning growth rate. Yearling Weight EPD (YWT) The expected difference in average yearling weight of progeny. The evaluation reflects genetic influence on both pre-weaning and postweaning growth rate. Maternal Milk EPD (MAT) The genetic ability of a sire s or dam s daughters to express in pounds of weaning weight in her calves due to her maternal ability through mothering instinct and milk. Total Maternal EPD (TOTMAT) A value to predict the weaning weight performance of calves from a animal s daughters due to genetics for growth and maternal ability. Total Maternal is calculated by adding ½ the WWT EPD to the Maternal Milk EPD. Scrotal Circumference EPD (SC) The expected difference in scrotal circumference (expressed in centimeters) of a bull s or dam s male offspring at yearling compared to progeny of all other animals evaluated. Research has also indicated a relationship between increased SC EPD and decreased age at puberty for daughters. Carcass Weight EPD (HCW) Expected progeny differences for Carcass Weight is a predictor of pounds of retail product at a constant age endpoint. Selection for increased values should result in heavier carcasses, while selection for decreased values should result in lighter carcass weights at the same age endpoint. Carcass Weight EPD are expressed in pounds and is a predictor of the differences in hot carcass weight between parents progeny at an age constant endpoint. Ribeye Area EPD (REA) Ribeye area is measured from a cross-sectional area of the longissimus dorsi muscle at the 12th rib. Ribeye area is a major component of the USDA yield grade equation and selection for increased ribeye area should result in larger ribeyes and lower yield grades between animals with the same carcass weight. Ribeye area has a positive relationship with weight, the larger the animal the larger the ribeye area. Ribeye Area EPD are expressed in square inches and is a predictor of differences in ribeye area between parents progeny at a constant age endpoint. Fat Thickness EPD (FAT) Fat thickness is measured at the 12th rib and is the primary component to the USDA Yield Grade equation. Fat thickness has a negative relationship to cutability; therefore, selection base on decreased fat thickness should result in lower yield grades and leaner cattle given the same age endpoint. Fat Thickness EPD are expressed in inches and are a predictor of differences in fat thickness between parent s progeny at an age constant endpoint. Marbling Score (MARB) Marbling is a subjective measure of the amount of intramuscular fat in the ribeye muscle. Marbling score is the primary component of USDA Quality grade and selection for increased Marbling Score EPD should result in cattle with higher quality grades at the same age endpoints. Marbling score has a small genetic correlation with fat, therefore producers may select for increased marbling score EPD while not changing external fat thickness when cattle are harvested at the same age-constant endpoint. Marbling EPD is a prediction of the differences in the USDA subjective marbling score between parent s progeny at an age constant endpoint.
