2016 Ekstrum Simmental.qxp_Layout 1 1/22/16 8:12 AM

Dear FriendsDear Friends Welcome to our annual bull sale. This last year has been roller coaster ride in the beef industry.Record high feeder calf and fat cattle prices to the big drop in the markets this last fall makes me believe that Simmental based genetics will rise to the top every time. If your breeding program consists of using purebred Simmentals, SimAngusTM, or Red SimAngusTM bulls we have performanceoriented bulls to fit your program. Because pounds make money year in and year out.

All our calves come off pasture with no creep. With over 45 years of raising Simmentals and over55 years of AIing and performance testing cattle we believe this tells the true story of the calves atweaning time without being fluffed. It truly shows what bloodlines excel in the real world. Thebulls were developed on a high forage ration using ground hay, ground alfalfa, corn silage, andDDG’s. All our cattle rations are formulated and balanced by Livestock Visions (DVM BruceNaasz & nutritionist Steve Peterson). All our herd health is conducted by Central Dakota AnimalClinic, DVM Jay Alberda.

Stop by anytime to come and inspect the bulls or log onto our website:www.ekstrumsimmentals.com for updated information. Videos and pictures will be onDVAuction.com

Thanks,

The Ekstrums

Any adjustment providedherein, if selected, shall absolve the seller from further liability for authenticity of pedigree to the buyer.

BREEDING GUARANTEES AND DEFINITIONS:

1. Females are guaranteed to be breeders, with the exception of:

a) Female calves sold at side of dam

b) Injury or disease occurring to the animal after time of sale

c) Gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the purchaser

d) Females used in ovum transplant after time of sale

e) Cows sold with calf at side or a female that calves after sale to breeding prior to the date of sale

b) Injury or disease occurring to the animal after time of sale

c) Gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the purchaser

d) Bulls shown competitively after sale

3. Any guarantees with respect to the ability to freeze semen shall be made by separate agreement betweenbuyer and seller.

4. Safe in calf females are females that have been diagnosed pregnant by a competent veterinarian, and arepregnant at time of sale.

5. A bred female is a female known to have been served by a bull either by natural breeding or artificial in-semination, but it does not necessarily mean that the female is safe in calf to that service.

6. A pasture-bred female is a female that has been pastured with a designated bull and has been exposedfor the time stated, but it does not necessarily mean that this female is safe in calf to that bull.

7. An open female is a non-pregnant animal.

8. Calves sold off their dams (split pairs) shall carry the full breeding guarantee.

PRIVILEGE OF PURCHASER TO EXAMINE: The purchaser of a female animal may have her examinedwithin twenty-four (24) hours after the fall of the hammer and prior to removal from sale premises. Thepregnancy status of breeding status of a female so examined, when found not to be as represented at thetime of sale, is cause for the female to be returned to the seller as unsold.

EMBRYO TRANSFER:

1. Sellers should provide upon request a complete history of embryo transfer activity for any female offered for sale.

2. Withholding information on the existence of frozen embryos at the time of sale would be considered anunethical practice.

HORNED-SCURRED-POLLED DEFINITIONS:

1. HORNED — An animal with a horn growth affixed to the skull that has or has not been removed.

2. POLLED/SCURRED — An animal with rudimentary horn growth that will not develop into a horn. Therudimentary horn growth may or may not become affixed to the skull at an older age.

3. POLLED — An animal with absence of horn growth. (An animal can have scurs and still be ge-netically polled.)

4. SMOOTH POLLED — A smooth-polled individual has no scurs and does not develop scurs later in life.

GUARANTEES:

1. If an animal is sold as polled or polled/scurred and proves to be horned, the seller shall be obligated torefund the purchase price upon return of the animal to the farm of the seller at the expense of the seller ormay be exchanged for a polled animal of equal value whichever is acceptable to the buyer. The buyer hasthirty (30) days from date of sale to notify the seller that an adjustment is in order.

2. If an animal is sold as smooth-polled and proves to be scurred, the seller shall be obligated to refundthe price upon return of the animal to the farm of the seller at the expense of the seller or at the buyer’s op-tion shall be exchanged for a smooth-polled animal of equal value.

3. If an animal is sold as polled and develops scurs, the seller will not be obligated to make any adjust-ment as a scurred animal is considered polled.

4. If an animal is sold as polled and has scurs, it shall be so announced at the time of sale that the animalhas scurs. If it is not announced and the buyer finds before the animal leaves the sale premises that the ani-mal has scurs, the buyer must notify the seller of the findings. The seller shall then be obligated to refundthe purchase price.

OPTIONS AND PRIVILEGES OF RETURN OR ADJUSTMENT:

The following adjustments do not preclude the right of the buyer and seller to mutually agree upon otherterms and conditions for settlement of any dispute.

1. All claims for adjustment or refund must be made in writing either six (6) months from the date of saleor no later than when the animal reaches 24 months of age whichever occurs later, with the exception ofclaims involving misrepresentation of service sire or as otherwise provided herein.

2. In the event an animal is claimed to be a non-breeder, the animal may be returned to the farm of theseller, at the buyer’s expense, if in good physical condition, and the return is in compliance with the healthrequirements of the seller’s state. The seller shall be entitled to a six (6) month trial period following thereturn of the animal in which to prove the animal is a breeder. If at the end of six (6) months the seller isunable to prove the animal is a breeder, the seller shall, at the option of buyer, replace the animal with an-other equal value or refund the purchase price. Either option shall be deemed full satisfaction and settle-ment.

3. If a female is sold as “safe in calf” to a given sire or sires on a specified date or dates and proves not tobe as represented, the buyer is entitled to a refund of the purchase price from the seller upon return of theanimal and resulting progeny thereof to the farm of the seller at the seller’s expense.

4. If a female is sold as “open” and proves to be with calf at time of sale and examined pregnant withinsixty (60) days after sale, the buyer may return the animal to the farm of the seller prior to calving for a re-fund of the full purchase price or for another animal of equal value, whichever acceptable to the buyer. Itshall be the obligation of the seller to bear any expenses incurred for transportation of the animal in ques-tion to the farm of the seller.

GENETIC TESTING AND TraitTrac STATUS: Sellers must identify the TraitTrac status and the results ofany qualitative genetic testing performed on any animals or genetic material offered for sale. The ASA con-siders it an unethical practice to misrepresent or fail to disclose the TraitTrac status or qualitative genetictest results of any animal or genetic material.

DISCLOSURE OF MATERIAL INFORMATION: Sellers must disclose all material information concerningany animal or genetic material offered for sale. For the purposes of these Sale Terms and Conditions, “Mate-rial Information” is defined as any information which would be likely to affect the value of the animal or ge-netic material if the information were known to the public. Material Information includes, but is not limitedto, information related to genetic tests, blood tests, ultrasound pregnancy results, disease tests, pregnancyand fertility test results, information related to the sex and age of in utero calves or embryos, and informa-tion related to the fertilization status of in utero calves, including whether the calf was conceived via artifi-cial insemination or natural service. The ASA considers it an unethical practice to misrepresent or fail todisclose any Material Information concerning an animal or genetic material offered for sale.

LIMITATIONS OF OBLIGATIONS: These sale terms and conditions constitute a binding legal obligationbetween the buyer and seller of any animal or genetic material sold under these terms and conditions. How-ever, the ASA, its directors, officers, employees and agents do not assume any obligation, legal or otherwise,to enforce the sale terms and conditions agreed to between buyer and seller.


Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs): EPDs are the most accurate andeffective tool available for comparing genetic levels. In using EPDs, the differ-ence between two sires’ EPDs represents the unit difference expected in theperformance of their progeny. For example, if sires A and B have EPDs of+10 and –5, a 15-unit difference would be expected in their progeny (mov-ing from -5 to +10 yields 15 units). Key to using EPDs is knowing what unitsthey are expressed in. For example, if the above case referred to weaningweight EPDs, A would be expected to sire 15-pounds more weaning weightthan B. If calving ease were the trait, A would be expected to sire 15-percentmore unassisted births in first-calf heifers; in other words, if B sired 30 as-sists in a group of 100 heifers, we’d expect A to require 15 assists. A per-centile-ranking chart is required to determine where a bull’s EPDs rank himrelative to other bulls in the breed. For percentile rankings or more detailedinformation about EPDs and $ indexes visit www.simmental.org. Listed beloware the units ASA EPDs are expressed in:All-Purpose Index (API): Dollars per cow exposed under an all-purpose-sire scenario. (See below for more details.) Back Fat (BF): Inches of backfat.Birth Weight (BW): Pounds of birth weight.Calving Ease (CE): Percent of unassisted births when used on heifers.Carcass Weight (CW): Pounds of carcass weight.Maternal Calving Ease (MCE): Percent of unassisted births in first-calvingdaughters. Milk (MLK): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk.Marbling (MRB): Marbling score.Maternal Weaning Weight (MWW): Pounds of weaning weight due to milkand growth.Ribeye Area (REA): Square inches of ribeye.Warner-Bratzler Shear Force (WBSF): Pounds of force required to sheara steak.Stayability (STAY): Percent of daughters remaining in the cowherd at 6years of age.

Terminal Index (TI): Dollars per cow exposed under a terminal-sire sce-nario. (See below for more details.) Weaning Weight (WW): Pounds of weaning weight.Yearling Weight (YW): Pounds of yearling weight.Yield Grade (YG): Yield grade score.

$ Indexes: Though EPDs allow for the comparison of genetic levels for manyeconomically important traits, they only provide a piece of the economic puz-zle. That’s where $ indexes come in. Through well-conceived, rigorousmathematical computation, $ indexes blend EPDs and economics to estimatean animal’s overall impact on your bottom line. The same technology that ledto the dramatic progress in swine, poultry and dairy genetics over the last sev-eral decades was used to develop the following $ indexes:All-Purpose Index (API): Evaluates sires for use on the entire cow herd(bred to both Angus first-calf heifers and mature cows) with the portion oftheir daughters required to maintain herd size retained and the remainingheifers and steers put on feed and sold grade and yield. Terminal Index (TI): Evaluates sire for use on mature Angus cows with alloffspring put on feed and sold grade and yield.Using API and TI: First, determine which index to use; if you’re keeping re-placements use API, if not, TI. Then, just as with EPDs, zero in on the unit dif-ference between bulls. (As described above, index units are in dollars per cowexposed.) The difference can be used to determine how much a bull is worthcompared to another. Or, put another way, how much you can pay for one bullcompared to another. For example, when buying an all-purpose-type sire, youcan quickly figure a bull scoring +100 for API is worth an extra $6,000 overa+50 bull if both are exposed to 30 cows over 4 years ($50 diff. x 30 hd. x 4yr. = $6,000). A percentile-ranking chart is required to determine where abull’s index value ranks him relative to other bulls in the breed. For percentilerankings or more detailed information about EPDs and $ indexes.
