2 Cattlemen, Welcome to our 16th annual production sale. Simmental as a breed is clearly in the driver s seat for being a true multi-purpose package. If you are trying to rebuild an ageing cowherd, expanding an existing herd or simply trying to maximize pounds in a terminal program the option with Simmental or SimAngus TM are proven! We have tried to deliver genetics that will help in any direction you might be headed. For the 6th straight year we have been recognized for being a Performance Advocate (PA) and enrolled in Total Herd Enrollment (THE) in that every cow in our herd has data turned in annually for birth weight, weaning weight, yearling weight and hip height of every calf. We take great pride in the data collection process and rest assured all the data is getting turned in on every animal. This year we have also ultrasound tested our bulls for carcass traits. It is an important next step in our program to bring you the best opportunity to increase carcass traits in your herd and add value to your bottom line. As in the past our bulls are developed on a complete TMR ration. The ration consists primarily of prairie hay, corn silage, alfalfa, corn and distillers along with a dense chelated mineral pellet targeting an of 3.5 lbs per day. Fast enough to observe bulls that excel in gain and eliminate those that don t while providing a slow enough growth period for bone, muscle and testicular development. Remember it is our core belief that a customer should never have to worry about feet and leg issues from overfeeding. Last year we implemented a 5 star method for calving ease with 5***** being a heifer bull and 1* to be used only on mature cows. We have had great input from customers how they liked the system. Today with so many different and ratios it can be overwhelming at times to sort thru the data. We work our cattle a lot and pay particular attention to behavior or personalities of each bull we sell. It is never our intention to sell an animal that could potentially harm anyone, since we have been around these cattle for about 365 days we learn their personalities, know their mothers and family trees and are very forthcoming on any bull. Scores are sent into the ASA for documentation and processing and this information is inserted into the DOC EPD. To summarize our scoring method would be: 1 = The most calm animal. This animal would be recommended for the cattleman who have a small number of cattle, have children around the cattle and the bull has shown no signs of aggressiveness or nervousness. They can easily be left alone and are comfortable being alone. 2 = Very similar to a 1 star bull but will walk away and give space when worked with and has never shown signs of aggressiveness. Most of our bulls fall in this category. They are easy to handle and as yearlings and like to be in a group. If sorted alone they learn to become comfortable and are still very manageable. As they age to 2 yr olds they generally fall into the 1 star category. 3 = An individual who when worked with will be aware of his surroundings, never being aggressive towards people but always acting like a bull. This bull is easily managed by larger operations and that have facilities and experience to recognize when pressure can be used and when they should back off These are animals that prefer to be in a group and why we recommend these bulls to only go to herds with over 100 cows. 4 and 5 = Animals that are quickly exited and aggressive towards handlers. These animals are quickly castrated and culled. No bull in the sale has a score in this area. The next item we are going to include is for the type situation we think each bull would work best on. When we score the bulls we are taking into account pedigree, such as API and TI, and how their mothers actually have performed for us. Also how the bulls gain, frame score and phenotype come into play as well. (T) or Terminal For those of you who sell every calf off the cow and want to raise pounds look for the T. Generally these animals run a little more birth weight but the extra pounds will really add up. Frame scores a bit larger and less emphasis is put on maternal traits and calving ease. (M) Maternal This would be for ranches that have a need to raise their own replacement heifers and want an emphasis on maternal traits and maternal calving ease. We take into account all maternal traits and actual history of the cow family. Udder quality, mothering ability, calving ease of siblings and mother all go into play. (D) Dual Purpose As it implies this animal can be used in either program successfully. Whether retaining females or selling pounds they tend to run in the middle. Bulls are available for viewing at the ranch anytime and can also be viewed on DV Auction or keep an eye on our website starting about Jan 15. If we can be of any help please give us a shout and thank you for taking the time to look thru our offering. Mike, Myra, Owen and Livie...and Yogo!

Homo polled. Dual. Calving ease **** Feeding of your new yearling bull is one of the most important steps in the continued maturity process. If you choose to take your bull home it is vital to maintain proper nutritional levels for proper semen production, skeletal development and foot and leg structure. From the day you get him home until turnout, the bull must be in a positive energy balance for increasing the odds of years of continued use. Basic needs are clean fresh water, free choice mineral, adequate dry bedding and wind protection. On the nutritional end yearling bulls should continue to receive at least 14% of ration in protein and a 48 megacal ration. Typically free choice alfalfa hay and 8-10 lbs of corn will hit this. After breeding season, separate yearlings and start feeding this type of ration to make sure they are in adequate body condition before the chill of winter hits. Keep yearling and 2 year olds separate from the older bulls. I realize this is difficult but with the cost of investing in new animals every effort must be taken to minimize stress and injury. 9C STAV ALL AROUND 9C ASA# Tattoo: 9C BD: 1/29/15 Black Strip Face Polled PB SM Sire: WS ALL-AROUND Z35 CDI MS HIGH ROLLER 39W R RED IRON T20 Dam: STAV MS RED IRON 336A STAV MS NO PHALT 408P Another bull out of a first calf black baldy heifer and All Around.
