Dear Cattle Producer,

Hopefully, you had a good year in 2013. We are happyto say we had a nice hay crop and cattle prices weregood enough we even decided to sell a couple hundredsteers this fall.

The bulls are on chopped hay and CHS bull challengerpellets. They get roughly 13 lbs per day of pellets. Welike bull challenger because of the added minerals and itis a well balanced feed.

Many know what our program values in a cow herd:maternal, carcass, and growth. I hope every one canbecome as happy with their cow herd as I am with mine.The commercial females we run are mainly SimAngusTM and they are some of the best looking commercials we have had on thisplace. Hopefully, we have a good summer because I would hate to sell them if we don’t have enough grass.

This will be the last year for NLC Rolex 102R. He has been our growth bull for so long it will be hard to replace him. Our Meritbull continues to excel in many areas. The carcass data on his daughters is phenomenal. They are yielding 1s & 2s and almost100% choice. The steer calves have a harder time getting to choice. My opinion is that they just grow too fast and don’t put anyof that into marbling. We put our few head of Angus cows with Merit and are really happy with the results. Two of those calvesare in the sale and we kept most of the females as replacements. We have quite a few new herd bulls calving this spring so it willbe interesting to see how they do.

On the family side of things, we welcomed our third daughter, Stacey, home for a few weeks. She lives in Australia with her twokids. The addition of two new grandkids has gotten us closer to that dozen mark. The boys are still working for us and we havetwo grandsons showing cattle now.

Lunch will be provided by B&B catering out of Stanford. They do a wonderful job and we look forward to working with them.Coffee and rolls will be available all day.

We appreciate your interest in the bulls and we hope to see you at the sale. The best part of the day is seeing everyone and catch-ing up with friends. Call Tom or Jared to visit about the bulls or to schedule a time to come out an see them. Tom (406) 566-2479 Jared (406) 868-9869

Dikemans Sure BetPB SIM - Homozygous Black & Polled We used this AI sire because of hishigh API and carcass EPDs. All these traits are in the top 5% with most ofthem in the top 1%. We don’t track the back fat EPD as much because it israrely a problem with Simmental cattle.

Hooks Shear Force 38KPB SIM - Black & Homozygous Polled Shear Force is one of the top usedbulls in the breed. Excellent EPDs, make this proven sire an excellent choice.He is very easy to breed to these 1st calf heifers because of his consistentlygood calving ease.

The replacement females may get a bit big for somecattlemen. The three bulls in this year’s sale are purebred Angus bulls outof commercial 1st-calf heifers. These EPDs are calculated in the ASA.

VDAR Cedar Wind 8111PB AN - Homozygous Black & Polled The EPDs below are AAA EPDsand should not be compared to any other bull in the sale. He is said to bea well structured bull with good feet and legs. He also his a “high concep-tion” sire.

EPD TERMS & ABBREVIATIONSBreed averages can be used as a benchmark to determine where an animal ranks within the breed as well as whether or not ananimal’s offspring will be suitable for a given set of environmental conditions.Calving Ease (CE): The average difference of unassisted births whenused on heifers. A higher value indicates greater calving ease.Birth Weight (BW): Predicts the average difference in an animal’s off-spring. Expressed in pounds of birth weight. Used primarily as an indi-cator of calving ease.Weaning Weight (WW): Predicts the average difference in an animal’soffspring. Expressed in pound at weaning. Does not account for vari-ance in WW that are due to milk.Yearling Weight (YW): Predicts the average difference in an animal’sprogeny. Expressed in pounds at one year of age.Maternal Calving Ease (MCE): The average ease of a bull’s first-calvingdaughters compared to daughters of a different sire.Milk (MILK): Expressed as pounds of calf weaned and reflect the avg.difference due to the milking ability of a bull’s daughters.Maternal Weaning Weight (MWW): Expressed as pounds of calf weaned. Account for avg. differences from both WW direct aswell as from milk, and measure a sire’s ability to transmit milk production and growth rate through his daughters.

CARCASS EPDsCarcass Weight (CW): Estimate average differences in carcass weight at a given age endpoint.Yield Grade (YG): In an effort to apply the same scale the industry uses in quantifying meat yield Percent Retail Cuts EPD isnow expressed as an YG EPD. As with all EPDs, YG EPD is expressed as a deviation. Unlike its predecessor, however, negativevalues are desirable. To use it, keep in mind that it is in yield grade units. Therefore, lower is better. For example, a bull with a -.33 YG EPD would be expected to sire offspring that are a 1/3 of a yield grade better (lower) than a 0.0 YG EPD bull. If bullswith a zero EPD for Yield Grade sired an average yield of 3.0 in a particular environment and management system, offspring of a-.33 bull would be expected to have an average yield grade of 2.67 (1/3 of a yield grade better/lower).Marbling (MARB): The average difference in USDA Quality Grade in a bull’s progeny at a given endpoint. A numerical mar-bling score where one point equals one USDA marbling score.Ribeye Area (RIB): The average difference in ribeye area in a bull’s progeny at a given endpoint.

All-Purpose Index (API): Dollars per cow exposed under an all-purpose-sirescenario. Evaluates sires for use on the entire cow herd (bred to both Angusfirst-calf heifers and mature cows) with the portion of their daughters requiredto maintain herd size retained and the remaining heifers and steers put on feedand sold grade and yield.Terminal Index (TI): Dollars per cow exposed under a terminal-sire scenario.Evaluates sire for use on mature Angus cows all offspring put on feed and soldgrade and yield.Using API and TI: First, determine which index to use; if you are keeping re-placements use API, if not, use TI. Then, just as with EPDs, zero in on the unitdifference between bulls. The difference can be used to determine how much abull is worth in compared to another.

Important disclaimer: DO NOT compare index values for purebreds of different breeds, hybrids of different breed compositionsor purebreds with hybrids - our system (ASA system) was not developed to make valid comparisons among these groups. There-fore, you must first determine the breed and breed composition appropriate to your herd and use index values to compare ani-mals within that population.
