2 River Creek Farms 24th Annual Simmental, SimAngus & Angus Bull Sale

View updated information, ultrasound data, supplement sheets and video of all the bulls at:

www.RiverCreekFarms.com

Welcome to our 24th Annual Bull Sale. Cattle prices look to hit all time highs this year, input costs are down and some much needed moisture has been received. Demand for high quality feeders and replace-ments should be high. Data from USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service indicates higher quality feeder

calves averaged an $8/ cwt. premium this past fall. Several factors go into making high quality feeders, one of which is genetics. We believe our genetics can help you reach your goal of producing high quality feeders. After 40 years of selling bulls the three things I hear repeatedly are our bulls calve easy, they stay sound and their calves usually are at the top of the market.

Our “Built to Work” bulls are a result of a breeding philosophy we have been dedicated to for more than 40 years. We strive to produce bulls that sire calves that will give you the least amount of hassle and most profit. Depending on the makeup of your herd, using our Purebred or SimAngus bulls will allow you to take advantage of hybrid vigor with added pounds on your calves and the associated complementary traits of enhanced carcass qualities, cowherd longevity and productivity.

Our bulls have been developed in large lots to ensure sound feet and legs while giving them plenty of exercise. All bulls will be semen tested, scrotal measured and ultra sounded before the sale. Results will be posted on our web site as they become available and will be at the sale.

If you would like to view the bulls and our operation prior to the sale feel free to give us a call and stop by. We ap-preciate the opportunity to visit one on one with past and potential customers. If you have any questions please feel free to call or email.

We hope to see you February 12th.

Plan on coming early to look at the cattle and have lunch with us.

Special thanks to our dedicated team that helps

with the daily tasks at River Creek Farms!Brian Nixon, Colin Kirchhoff & David Mertz

River Creek Farms retained semen interest remains if the bull is sold to a third party.

BULL DEVELOPMENTWe performance test the bulls on a ration designed for 3.0 pounds per day gain and in lots one-half mile long to ensure adequate exercise. We believe this adequately conditions the bulls for breeding with sound feet and legs while enabling them to exhibit their gain ratio. You may notice the fall bulls have lower adjusted yearling weights than the spring bulls. The fall bulls were run on grass last summer without supplementation from May 1 to September 1. Consequently, their yearling weights, WDA, and ribeye areas are smaller than the spring bulls. You should not use the data to compare the two groups of bulls but use it to compare bulls within each age group.

Marketing & Buying Made Easy

Power BullsWork best on mature Angus, Crossbred or Continental cows. “Power Bulls” have breed average or above birth weights and weaning weights in the breeds top 25%. Due to the pedigrees behind our bulls, we guarantee no calving problems on Angus cows.

Heifer BullsThe easiest calving bulls. These bulls will work on Angus, Crossbred or Continental heifers. They can be used on any cow. Daughters sired by these bulls will make excellent replacements.

All Purpose BullsWill work on Angus, Crossbred or Continental heifers with supervision while calving. They can also be used on any cow. Daughters will make good replacements. Calves out of an “All Purpose Bull” will weigh more at weaning when compared to offspring of “Heifer Bulls”.

Simplify Bull Buying - Dollar Indexes & Bull Ranking System

Using API & TI

Zero in on the unit difference between bulls. For example, when buying an all-purpose-type sire, you can figure a bull scoring +180 for API is worth an extra $6,000 over a +130 bull if both are exposed to 30 cows over 4 years ($50 diff. x 30 hd. x 4 yr. = $6,000).

All Purpose IndexEvaluates sires for use on the entire cow herd, with a portion of their daughters required to maintain herd size and the remaining heifers and steers put on feed and sold by grade and yield. Terminal IndexEvaluates sires for use on Angus cows with off-spring put on feed and sold by grade and yield.

River Creek Farms wants to help you market your calves.

At River Creek Farms we are committed to helping you increase the value of your calves. Many of you have invested in our genetics by buying our bulls. We’d like to see you get as high a return as possible on this investment.

To that end, we joined the marketing group Allied Genetic Resources. Together we are anticipating gaining access to more markets for our customers. Allied Genetic Resources has established a net-work of over 20+ (and growing) Allied Feeding Partners that feed over 4 million head of cattle per year. These feedlots are looking for cattle that grow and hit grid specs.

In order to help you gain access to these markets Allied Genetic Resources is compiling a data base of potential cattle for future sale. We hope you’ll consider adding your cattle to this data base.

6 River Creek Farms 24th Annual Simmental, SimAngus & Angus Bull Sale

Why Buy A River Creek Farms Bull?

Why River Creek Farms Bulls will maximize your Angus based cowherd’s profit:

1. Proven Calving Ease, Customer Validated for over 30 years2. Increase Weaning Weights with Hybrid Vigor3. Enhance Disposition, Carcass and Maternal Traits4. Maintain a Moderate Frame Size While Increasing Thickness5. Higher Profit Potential, Based on Economically Relevant Traits

$API & $TI

The Power of HeterosisThere is a reason every kernel of corn planted in this country is a hybrid. It’s the same reason every commercial market hog, chicken, turkey and even catfish are hybrids. The power of heterosis is enormous.

The Goal: Produce for the Market According to Tom Brink of Five Rivers Ranch Cattle Feeding, LLC (10 feedyards, 811,000 capacity), Five Rivers first choice in feeders is the Angus /Continental cross, 50% to 75% Angus and 25% to 50% Continental. This blend of Angus and Continental cattle “creates a good feeding, good grading, good yielding animal that is usually the right size.”

The Bonus: The Crossbred CowIn addition to heavier calves, research shows that producers who keep crossbred heifers as replacements will realize an average 38% greater longevity and 25% increase in production. The SolutionThe simple solution is to use River Creek Farms Purebred bulls on Angus based cows to create Si-mAngus feeders and replacement females. Our bulls have genera-tions of calving ease, performance in a moderate frame and maternal longevity bred in. Ideal for cross-breeding with the Angus based cow. Our customers that are doing this now report no calving problems, increased weaning weights and high buyer acceptance. The second option is to use River Creek Farms ¾ or ½ SimAngus bulls on crossbred cows to create a per-centage feeder and replacement. By using this simple breeding plan it sustains hybrid vigor and stabilizes your herd at the desired British/ Continental mix for your environment and target market. An added bonus is higher semen output and the increased longevity of the hybrid bull.

Bottomline, if you have a purebred cowherd or crossbred herd, we have the bull to cover you for the future.

Customer Testimonial

Customer Results in Eastern Colorado

Fourth generation rancher Bob Kechter and wife Brenda, Vona, CO, have been buying bulls from River Creek Farms the past four years. Together with his dad, William, and son, Toby, they run Black Angus and Angus influenced cows in eastern Colorado. Their ranch was established in 1893.

Bob and Brenda Kechter with two of their seven

grandchildren.

Joe:

Just thought it was time to write a testimonial for you.

Here are 2013 weaning results:

- 303 Steer Calves with a WW Avg 686 lbs on Oct 11

- 318 Heifer Calves with a WW Avg 661 lbs on Oct 15

These calves were born March and April except for the first calf

heifers which were bred to start calving February 1st.

Speaking of first calf heifers, they were mostly sired by your

bulls and all bred to your bulls.

Here are 2013 First Calf Heifer Calves Adj. Weaning Weights:

- 65 head had an average 205 WW of 629 lbs

- 64 head out of the 65 heifers bred back

The buyer of all the heifer calves (260 head) told me they were the

gentlest calves in the yard and hadn’t doctored a calf in the first 30 days.

“Doing great” was his comment.

I retained 60 head for replacements. Vet was here to Bangs vaccinate

and said they were one of the nicest set of gentle heifers he has seen.

That says a lot, he’s 86 years old.

Cows bred back at a 96% pregnancy rate on a 58 day breeding season.

Wow!

Bulls did a great job and are looking good. Thanks for all your help with

choosing bulls. Hope to see you sale day.

River Creek Farms is a diversified family operation owned and operated by the Mertz families. The family’s interest in cattle began in 1891. Today, the business continues with third generation Harold D. and Jeanne Mertz, fourth generation Joe and Kim Mertz and Bob and Mary Mertz as operating partners. Joe manages the cowherd and Bob manages the crops. Mary and Kim provide all the administrative support required to the run the business. Harold and Jeanne contribute critical in-sight and advice on an ongoing basis.

The farm headquarters is located approximately nine miles east of Manhattan along K18, in the Kaw Valley River bottom. Our main crops are corn and soybeans, with some wheat and alfalfa on leased and owned cropland. Most of this crop-land is in the river valley with some upland ground. We do some irrigation with center pivots and flood irrigation. Dur-ing the summer the cattle graze Bluestem pastures in the beautiful Flint Hills south of our farm and utilize the cornstalks in the fall and winter.

Joe introduced Simmental to our Hereford cowherd by way of artificial in-semination in 1970. Around the same time we became members of the American Simmental Association. Our breeding philosophy is the same to-day as it was 43 years ago. We have concentrated on producing cattle that will thrive under range conditions while focusing on the economically rele-vant traits for Calving Ease, Growth, Maternal and Carcass Value. Recently, we have used proven Angus sires to produce SimAngus to give our custom-ers more breeding options.

River Creek Farms is a diversified family operation owned and operated by the Mertz families.
