Northern Plains Simmentals - Annual Bull Sale

2013 Northern Plains Simmental_Layout 1 3/1/13 8:29 AM

to the annual Northern Plains Simmentals bull sale. We had a privatetreaty sale day at the ranch for 5 years, and sold in conjunction with the Ace in the Hole sale in 2012,making this our 7th sale.

This past year has marked some of the highest prices we have ever seen for feeder calves making it alittle more fun and exciting to be in the cattle business. Some of us have been fortunate to receive latefall and winter moisture, and hopefully come sale time all of us are enjoying the green grass of spring!

Our cows are run much like a commercial program. We wean the calves in early October, put thecalves on feed and kick the cows out to graze. Most years we make it to mid December or even Christmasbefore we start feeding hay. I am very proud of our Simmy mommas to be able to do that in the harshnorthern North Dakota climate.

I am very excited to bring this set of bulls to town and offer for sale. If you go through the catalogyou will find several breed leading AI sires represented in the pedigrees along with some herdsires we are using in our program.

In the offering you will find bulls with exceptional calving ease and above average growth.

The bulls have been on a ration of CHS Bull Challenger, chopped CRP and Oat hay, and free choicegrass hay. This program has worked very well for us. The bulls seem to grow up not out, and our customer feedback has told us that they keep their condition throughout the breeding season.

If you have any questions please feel free to call, or stop in and view the bulls at the ranch beforethe sale.

Sincerely,

JR Aufforth

Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs): EPDs are the most accurateand effective tool available for comparing genetic levels. In using EPDs,the difference between two sires’ EPDs represents the unit difference ex-pected in the performance of their progeny. For example, if sires A andB have EPDs of +10 and –5, a 15-unit difference would be expected intheir progeny (moving from -5 to +10 yields 15 units). Key to usingEPDs is knowing what units they are expressed in. For example, if theabove case referred to weaning weight EPDs, A would be expected to sire15-pounds more weaning weight than B. If calving ease were the trait,A would be expected to sire 15-percent more unassisted births in first-calf heifers; in other words, if B sired 30 assists in a group of 100heifers, we’d expect A to require 15 assists. A percentile-ranking chart isrequired to determine where a bull’s EPDs rank him relative to otherbulls in the breed. For percentile rankings or more detailed informationabout EPDs and $ indexes visit www.simmental.org. Listed below are theunits ASA EPDs are expressed in:All-Purpose Index (API): Dollars per cow exposed under an all-pur-pose-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-calving daughters. Milk (MLK): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk.Marbling (MRB): Marbling score.Maternal Weaning Weight (MWW): Pounds of weaning weight due tomilk and growth.Ribeye Area (REA): Square inches of ribeye.Warner-Bratzler Shear Force (WBSF): Pounds of force required toshear a steak.Stayability (STAY): Percent of daughters remaining in the cowherd at 6years of age. Terminal Index (TI): Dollars per cow exposed under a terminal-sirescenario. (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 formany economically important traits, they only provide a piece of the eco-nomic puzzle. That’s where $ indexes come in. Through well-con-ceived, rigorous mathematical computation, $ indexes blend EPDs andeconomics to estimate an animal’s overall impact on your bottom line.The same technology that led to the dramatic progress in swine, poultryand dairy genetics over the last several decades was used to develop thefollowing $ indexes:All-Purpose Index (API): Evaluates sires for use on the entire cowherd (bred to both Angus first-calf heifers and mature cows) with theportion of their daughters required to maintain herd size retained andthe remaining heifers and steers put on feed and sold grade and yield. Terminal Index (TI): Evaluates sire for use on mature Angus cows withall offspring put on feed and sold grade and yield.Using API and TI: First, determine which index to use; if you’re keep-ing replacements use API, if not, TI. Then, just as with EPDs, zero in onthe unit difference between bulls. (As described above, index units arein dollars per cow exposed.) The difference can be used to determinehow much a bull is worth compared to another. Or, put another way, howmuch you can pay for one bull compared to another. For example, whenbuying an all-purpose-type sire, you can quickly figure a bull scoring+100 for API is worth an extra $6,000 over a+50 bull if both are ex-posed to 30 cows over 4 years ($50 diff. x 30 hd. x 4 yr. = $6,000). Apercentile-ranking chart is required to determine where a bull’s indexvalue ranks him relative to other bulls in the breed.
