Predictable Genetics, Proven Performance Bull and Female Sale

March 5, 2016, Pawnee Rock, KS

PREDICTABLE GENETICSPROVEN PERFORMANCE

6th Annual Shorthorn & ShorthornPlus Bull and Female Sale

Fellow Cattlemen,This is the one point in the year when we pause and reflect on where we are headed and how far we have come. We have seen an amazing run in the cattle business and agriculture in general. Many of the high feelings have wavered a bit, but the silver lining is that good profits are still being made in the beef industry. The cow/calf man still has a product that is in high demand and the higher the value product you can deliver, the more profit there ultimately is to obtain. Good genetics are not just a novel concept, they are the cornerstone of a profitable operation. As we move ahead in this industry, the ability to put together a genetic package that can weather the storms will be paramount. We think if you take the time to study our offering, you will see a balance of those long term profitability traits.

We have continued to build upon the success of the most predictable sires in the business and their progress is certainly documented. This leads us to believe that we are continuing to remove the genetic risk in these cattle and they will ultimately lead to a more consistent product for our customer. This is the most diverse group we have ever brought to market and yet the genetics have many things in common. The successful growth of our composite program has to be one of the highlights of this offering. We feel the additions of the Red Angus composites in the fall group and the Connealy Capitalist Angus composites in the spring pen have grabbed the attention of many as they have walked through these bulls. Not taking anything away from the purebred Shorthorns, many have certainly proven they will have the performance to compete with the heterosis of their composite counterparts. We feel the performance of the entire offering is increased over previous years, as it should be, and without sacrificing birthweight or calving ease. More than 85% of the offering, bulls and heifers, are in the Top 20% for $CEZ and BEPD and 95% are in the Top 20% for CEM. As you build, that previously mentioned, extra value into your genetic base, its also worthy of noting that the bulls have an average Marbling EPD in the Top 15% of the breed and REA EPD in the Top 30%.

Continue to check in at our newly redesigned website, Lovingfarms.com, for videos and sale updates. We will be ultrasounding the spring bulls and heifers the first part of February and we will make that information available online. We will also be broadcasting the sale live on DVAuctions.com, so if you are unable to attend, please register and use that service. If any of our sale representatives can be of service, please do not hesitate to give them a call and utilize them for their unbiased opinions.

The cattle are available for viewing at any time leading up to the sale. We invite everyone to join us to view the cattle Friday evening the 4th and stay for supper and social. Lunch will be served at noon on the 5th with the sale to start at 1:00 PM CST.

We thank you for taking the time to look through our offering and giving us the opportunity to earn your business.

Sincerely,

Sometimes the planned matings for a first calf heifer so totally exceed expectations. 4729 is that case. Top of his contemporary groups in all categories with indexes like 123, 108, 171, and 114. His epd line is the evidence backing up actual performance. If you need additional proof, the cow family backing him has produced sale topping bulls in several previous sales. This is one of the most predictable, young sires to sell this spring, plus you wont find that performance in a more attractive package.

As the name of our sale says, Predictable and Proven. It will be difficult to find any harder proof than Prestige 4727. Full brother to the Lot 1 and high selling bull from the 2015 sale, 4727 has been a standout since birth. If youre serious about consistent genetics, we cant think of a more powerful genetic package than this.

It will sound like a broken record by the time you finish the catalog, but 4750 is what Prestige 0590 does. They are long bodied, big middled, clean fronted, and extremely muscular. Put that with rapid growth and good ultrasound figures and you have profit in the beef industry.

There have been very few Kaper 4508 bulls that have shown the kind of rapid growth 4716 has. He has more than adequate weaning performance to go with a heifer safe actual birthweight and BW/CE EPDs.

Packed with red meat, 4739 scanned the third highest %IMF in the fall group. He represents the end of an era, there will be few JSF/RB Prestige 8U genetics to sell after him and he shows the dominant traits of his sire; incredible muscularity, soggy middled and super easy fleshing.

We are asked many times how Shorthorn and Angus genetics cross. 4730 is a perfect example, smooth fronted and packed full of red meat and his birth and calving numbers are tremendous. He is out of the top sire producing Okie cow family that you will see many times in this catalog.

This bulls sire, Commando, was our go to heifer bull as we never assisted a calf by him. 4783 carries that great calving ease and blends it well with a shot of performance. He will give you restful nights without sacrificing weaning weight and mature size.

These 3 young sires dont leave a lot to the imagination of how good a combination of Shorthorn and Red Angus genetics can be. They are incredibly powerful in their design with super growth numbers and yet were all light birthweight calves. They possess great growth numbers and predictability. Take one or three, they are even enough you wont go wrong.

Marquis 127x crossed with Answer 9652 will no doubt yield an impressive set of numbers. The most balanced set of numbers of any bull to sell, he is Top 20% of the breed for nearly every EPD.

This Marquis son will flat blow you away in terms of raw muscle expression and depth of rib. At the last weighing, this was the top indexing bull. He is a beast and gives you great numbers that by looking at him are true to form.

One of the highest percentage weaning weight bulls. 4816s mother is not a big cow, but that certainly didnt slow him down. He probably ties the numbers and phenotype together better than any of the other 127x sons.

Its a little unfair to the spring bulls to never start the catalog with them. Bulls like 5535 are definitely deserving of that top spot. You will immediately gravitate to this high-growth 0590 son because of his eye appealing quality and muscular shape. Add to that solid actual performance figures and good EPDs, he will certainly capture your attention.

Combining the added growth of President C20x with the mass and power of Prestige 8U, 5547 gives you a solid, attractive package. He is long bodied and big middled, yet is very refined through his front end which should support consistent calving ease.

When looking to infuse new Angus genetics into our composite program, we had a very discriminating set of selection criteria. Connealy Capitalist 028 displayed the kind of complimentary genetics that we felt would greatly benefit our composite program. We have never offered a more explosive sire group of bulls and they have exceeded expectations in every way; calving ease, performance and look, they are hands down it - just try to punch holes in these guys. Take them home and dump them out with your black cows, your neighbors wont know they arent purebred and you can quietly reap the benefits of heterosis, while getting paid for the increased pounds.

These bulls mothers go back to the Legacy line of cattle and they were extremely attractive and quite maternal. Add in Prestige 0590 and you get added width and extension. This combination is impressive in that you have great calving ease balanced with growth. They are identical in kind and consistent as can be.

The last Prestige 8U son to sell and he will represent the line well. Soggy and thick, this blood son does a lot of things well and with Angus mixed he should be maternal with good carcass.

A pair of heifer safe Commando sons by the Legacy line which should supply a shot of growth without sacrificing calving ease. Both are Top 1% of the breed for CED, CEM, BW, and $CEZ.

$CEZ ($ Calving Ease) This index assumes a bull will only be mated to heifers, not cows. The potential profitability of the sire is measured by the incidence of live calves at birth. Moderate mature size is also emphasized in the index, but performance is not a priority.

$F ($ Feedlot) This multi-trait index assumes the sire will be mated to a mix of heifers and cows and attempts to measure profitability when progeny are sold on the feed market. On the female side, mature size should be monitored closely when selecting for $F.

$BMI ($ British Maternal Index) This multi-trait selection index attempts to measure a bulls potential profitability when complimenting the British cow base (Angus, Red Angus, Hereford, etc.). A balance of growth and carcass traits is desired with a strong maternal component aimed at optimum reproductive efficiency and cow longevity.

5544 If you can get past the frozen ears and tail, this heifer deserves to compete at the top of this female group. The cold left no lasting production effects, its purely cosmetic and wed say she is just a bit more tough. She certainly has the eye appeal to go with good performance numbers.

A heifer that came premature in really cold weather, but she is a survivor. She hasnt caught up yet, but the cow family behind her suggests she will breed at another level, as her maternal grandmother is mother to Lot #27. The predictability is there.

how haVe the Bulls got to this Condition? are they going to melt?Many have asked these questions. How we feed is not a secret and keeping these bulls sound on their feet and in good body condition is paramount. It is a logical question, considering our customers are making a multiyear investment. Increasing a bulls longevity and the amount of work he can handle both contribute to the long term profitability of your cow/calf enterprise. It is a priority for us to manage these bulls in such a way as to maximize these traits.

Development of the herd bulls is a task not taken lightly and we employ the expertise of John Ney with Nutrition Solutions to help balance the feed rations as well as to monitor the intake and performance of the bulls. The bulls start out on the cow without creep feed and only relying on their mothers for weaning performance. This allows us to evaluate the performance of the cow as well as the calf. They are weaned on the high forage portion content mixed ration containing sorghum sudan hay, corn silage, and wet distillers grain, and they are allowed to grow at a slower pace to increase frame and give them time to develop. As final selections are made, the sale bulls are moved to a ration containing higher energy and yet maintaining a higher forage content. These bulls never see a concentrate ration and we feel that is important to a digestive system that will only have access to a forage based system post sale. Exercise is a key in the development of a young sire, we feel that its important to give them access to plenty of space to move to aid in their growth.

We feel that prospective buyers will see the individual traits of the genetics expressed with the bulls in good condition. Careful management will provide for multiple years of service without risking your investment.

iF i Buy loVing Farms genetiCs, what marketing oPPortunities are aVailaBle?Loving Farms believes in your success with our genetics so much that we want to help you market your cattle.
