Welcome to our 12th Annual Performance Genetics Meat and Guts Bull Sale. Today we continue to offer the same genetics that have proven to be performance genetics. These genetics are proven in the pasture and the feed. We continue to search for genetics that will lead the way into the future. The Gary Ward Family Gary, Madelyn, John, James & Katie I m pleased to have David Medeiros of Rancho Casino and David Dal Porto of Dal Porto Livestock to be part of the sale again. They bring a lifetime of experience in the Angus business to the sale. They are outstanding producers and leaders in the cattle industry. I have had the privilege of working with both of them. Our cows are raised in a practical manner. We select for productive cows that are sound of foot, body type, fertility and performance. Our cows spend the summer in the Carson Valley and winter near Clements, California. We calve in mid-august and wean calves when they arrive back in the valley in the spring. The bulls are held over on grass during the summer. The bulls are shipped to Snyder Livestock in Yerington, Nevada, to be grown into sale bulls. All Angus bulls have been DNA tested, ultrasounded and will have genomic enhanced EPDs. All bulls have passed a fertility test and are sifted for soundness. We will have updated information available sale day. Please feel free to contact us if we can be of any assistance for you. We will continue to sell bulls on the video format. John Dickinson and Jake Parnell will be with us again to handle the internet sale. They bring a full service of management, specializing in purebred and commercial livestock marketing. The sale starts at 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 17th. Lunch will be served at 12 noon. You can view the bulls beginning mid-week of the sale. We look forward to visiting with you. Thank you for your support and for your confidence in our breeding programs. We appreciate the opportunity to serve you with your seedstock needs. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions. See you on sale day! Gary Ward & Family Ward Ranches / Ward Ranches GARY WARD & FAMILY Gary Ward (775) 790-6148 Katie Ward (916) 990-4818 P.

About EPDs The available Expected Progeny Difference (EPD) numbers are included in the catalog and were current as of 2/23/18, as reported by the individual s association of registry. EPD is the prediction of how future progeny of each animal are expected to perform in each of the traits listed, relative to the progeny of other animals listed in the breed database. EPDs are expressed in units of measure for the trait, plus or minus. Performance records allow you to compare individuals of the same herd; EPDs allow you to compare individuals within a breed. EPDs do not allow for comparison of individ uals of different breeds. Interim EPDs may appear on young animals when their performance has yet to be incorporated into the American Angus Association National Cattle Eval ua tion (NCE) procedures. This EPD will be preceded by an I, and may or may not include the animal s own performance record for a particular trait, depending on its availability, appropriate contemporary grouping, or data edits needed for NCE. Calving Ease Direct (CED) is expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births, with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in first-calf heifers. It predicts the average difference in ease with which a sire s calves will be born when he is bred to first-calf heifers. A higher number indicates greater potential for calving ease. Birth Weight (BW) (pounds) is based on the measured birth weight of progeny, adjusted for dam age. The lower the value, the lighter the calf at birth and the lower the likelihood of a difficult birth. This is particularly important when selecting sires for use on heifers. Weaning Weight (WW) (pounds) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 120 and 280 days of age. Values are adjusted to 205 days and for age of dam. This EPD is the best single estimate of an an -imal s genetic merit for growth to early ages. Yearling Weight (YW) (pounds) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 320 and 440 days of age, adjusted to 365 days and for age of dam. This EPD is the best single estimate of a sire s genetic merit for postweaning growth. Milk (pounds) is an estimate of an animal s milking ability. For sires, this EPD indicates the effect of the daughters milking ability, inherited from the sire, on the weaning and yearling weights of her calves. Watch the sale & bid online!

Producers need the most advanced information to make smart selection decisions, and Angus Genetics Inc. (AGI) provides it through genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs). EPDs that traditionally contained all pedigree, performance and progeny information now also include results from available genomic, or DNA, tests. Breeders who use genomic technology give buyers access to AGI-generated GE-EPDs that provide: Increased predictability and decreased risk for young and unproven animals due to enhanced accuracy of EPDs Better characterization of genetics for difficult-to-measure performance traits (such as carcass traits, maternal traits and feed efficiency) The ability to make more rapid progress for traits that are important to you, due to: more accurate selection easier identification of genetic outliers the ability to propagate young animals with confidence earlier in their lives In fact, GE-EPDs on unproven animals have the same amount of accuracy as if they had recorded 8-33 calves, depending on the trait. That s valuable insight, offered regularly through the breed s weekly national cattle evaluation at www.angus.org. How do you know if EPDs are genomic-enhanced? Ask your breeder, refer to the registration paper, or look for the AGI GE-EPD logo, Angus GS TM powered by partner Neogen GeneSeek or the HD50k or i50k by partner Zoetis. 14 Ward Ranches 12th Annual Bull Sale Saturday, March 17, 2018 Gardnerville, Nevada

The American Salers Association Optimizer Registry is a specific extension of the ASA Composite Registry Program. Optimizers offer commercial cattlemen a way to manage percent blood in their cow herds through the use of documented, seedstock quality composites, complete with EPDs. Cattle from 1/4 Salers to less than 3/4 Salers ancestry fit the program, and all have performance data. To learn more, log on to www.salersusa.org. Cattle from 25% to less than 75% Salers ancestry. Both parents must be registered in their respective breed association. All registered Optimizer animals must have reported performance data. A purebred Optimizer is 5/8 Salers and 3/8 of only one other purebred breed. Ward Ranches 12th Annual Bull Sale Saturday, March 17, 2018 Gardnerville, Nevada 17

Another bull to use on heifers. Ward Ranches purchased its first Salers bull at the Western Spotlight Salers Sale in Galt, California, over 30 years ago now. We had an Angus-based commercial cow herd, and Salers were new to the industry at the time. We tried them because of the calving ease and the marbling quality. We started with 25 to 30 virgin Angus heifers that we bred to this Salers bull, making the calves 50% Salers/50% Angus. The following fall when we calved these heifers, we were surprised at the calving ease and the vigor in these calves. We were immediately sold on the two breeds being compatible with each other. The Angus and Salers offered both the maternal and carcass qualities that we wanted in our herd. As we started to put together a purebred operation, we knew the qualities we had wanted in our commercial cattle operation, and we worked toward producing bulls that would work for the commercial cattleman. We have tried for generations now to build a cow herd that will produce bulls that pass on the traits that lead to profitability for you, the rancher. We want to create moderate-framed individuals that are easy fleshing and carry a of extra rib (i.e., guts). They need to have the ability to process grass and convert it into pounds of flesh. Another goal was to produce cattle that have optimal feed conversion in the feed. This sale offers you purebred Angus bulls, purebred Salers bulls and composite Salers/Angus bulls whichever fits your individual program or preference. Research has shown that both breeds demonstrate the traits for calving ease, maternal ability, weight gain, feed performance and carcass merit. These two breeds, Angus and Salers, complement each other. Please let us know if we can assist in selecting the right bull/s for you!
