2010 Irvine Ranch Catalog

ABOUT IRVINE RANCH…

Irvine Ranch is proud of our rich Kansas heritage and family farming tradition. Our family’s ancestors were among the firstsettlers in the Manhattan, Kansas area, arriving in 1855. A log cabin was built in the Blue Township in Pottawatomie County in1856. The farming and ranching tradition began at that time, and it has continued to the present. Our agricultural ventures have greatly expanded, andare now owned and operated by 5th and 6th generation Kansans. The 7th generation is on theground and starting to work their way into theoperation. The log cabin has disappeared, butsome of that Flint Hills pasture that was utilized by the earlier generations, over one hundred yearsago, is still used in our operation today.

Our present cowherd can trace its roots back over 80 years. In 1927, George Irvine, our father andgrandfather, purchased 25 Hereford cows at thestockyards in Kansas City. The cows were shippedby rail to Manhattan. With that group of cows serving as a foundation, we have progressed with a continuous anduninterrupted herd of cattle, from that humble beginning to today’s registered operation. Many of the cows in our herd cantrace their roots back to the 1927 foundation. Through the years, we have supplemented our existing cowherd with theacquisition of a handful of superior purebred Simmental and Angus cows.

In 1968, we started using Simmental bulls in our AI breeding program. We joined the American Simmental Association in theearly 1970s and have been registering Simmental cattle since that time. In the late 1980s, we joined the American AngusAssociation and began incorporating Angus genetics into the herd.

For approximately 40 years breeding bulls were sold off the farm, beginning with Horned Hereford and then Simmental. As our program began to grow, we recognized the value of having an annual sale. Bulls have been marketed through the annual sale on the 1st Saturday of November, since 2005. Annually, the top 50% of the bull calf crop make the cut. Starting in 2010,we will also offer breeding females in the sale.

We are firm believers in the value of Simmental genetics. Current Simmental genetics are well suited to provide balance andstrength in all facets of beef production. By combining the Simmental influence with rigorous selection for economic traitsand the use of EPD's, we have been able to improve our herd in all aspects. The Angus genetics have been added to

complement the strengths of the Simmental genetics.

Our herd improvement “blueprint” is focused on improvinggenetic traits affecting profitability for our beef-producingcustomers. Our goals are to improve early growth, carcassquality, feedlot and maternal efficiency, while maintainingeasy calving cattle that are fertile, tame, and moderate inmature size. Our systematic genetic approach is designed to move the genetic trend of our herd and our customers herd’s in the direction of greater profitability. The breeding animals we sell are "vehicles" designed to deliver these enhancedgenetic packages to our customer's herds. The Simmental andAngus breeds provide the best opportunity to allow us to accomplish our aggressive objectives.

Irvine Ranch looks forward to continued success in producingsuperior genetics for our customers by combining our rich tradition and heritage with modern advancements in beefproduction.

Glossary of Terms and Abbreviations

PERFORMANCE and GENERAL TERMSCalving Ease (CE): The opposite of difficult or abnormal calving. An easy calving is one that does not require assistance and does not

impose undue strain on the calf or dam.

Calving Score (CS): A measure of calving where: 1=unassisted birth; 2=hand assistance; 3=mechanical assistance.

Actual Birth Weight (ACT BW): A weight taken within 24 hours of birth.

Birth Weight Ratio (BW Ratio): An expression of the animal’s adjusted weight at birth relative to the contemporary group average.

Note: There is a difference in expression of BW Ratio between the Simmental and Angus Breed Associations. A Simmental with a below

average birth weight will have a ratio greater than 100 (ratios above 100 are more desirable). An Angus with a below average birth weight

will have a ratio less than 100 (ratios below 100 are more desirable).

Adjusted Weaning Weight (ADJ WW): An off-the-cow calf weight adjusted to 205 days of age and to a mature dam age equivalence.

Adjusted Weaning Weight Ratio (WW Ratio): An expression of the animal’s performance for adjusted weaning weight relative to the

contemporary group average. Ratios >100 are above average, Ratios <100 are below average.

Adjusted Yearling Weight (ADJ YW): A weight adjusted to 365-days of age.

Adjusted Yearling Weight Ratio (YW Ratio): An expression of the animal’s performance for adjusted yearling weight relative to the

contemporary group average. Ratios >100 are above average, Ratios <100 are below average.

N/C: No contemporaries.

Test Gain: The average daily gain of an animal for a fixed period of time.

Note: The sale bulls were gain tested for 92 days.

Test Gain Ratio: The individual bull’s gain performance relative to the contemporary group. A gain ratio above 100 reflects above group

average gain and below 100 reflects below group average gain. Note: For the purpose of the Test Gain Ratio, all sale bulls were considered to be in one contemporary group.

Adjusted Frame Score (ADJ Frame): Based upon hip height measured in inches and adjusted to a 365-day basis, using BIF standards.

Adjusted Scrotal Circumference (Adjusted Scrotal): A measurement of the distance in centimeters around the testicles in the scrotum

with a circular tape. Related to semen producing capacity and age at puberty of female sibs and progeny. Converted to a 365-day basis,

using BIF standards.

Homozygous Black: An animal that will always pass on a black gene to its progeny. Denoted in “COLOR” box as “BB”.

Heterozygous Black: Although the animal is black-hided (Black is Dominant to Red), it may pass on a red gene to its progeny. Denoted in

“COLOR” box as “Bb”.

Note: Sale bulls that were not known to be homozygous black by pedigree were DNA tested by Pfizer (www.pfizeranimalgenetics.com).

Homozygous Polled: An animal that will always pass on a polled gene to its progeny. Bulls noted as “Homozygous Polled” are out of two

parents that have tested Homozygous Polled.

Ultrasound % IMF Ratio: An ultrasound measurement of the percent intramuscular fat in the ribeye muscle, relative to animals within the same contemporary group.

Ultrasound RE Ratio: An ultrasound measurement of the area in square inches of the longissimus muscle between the 12th and 13th rib,

relative to animals within the same contemporary group.

Ultrasound BF Ratio: An ultrasound measurement of the fat thickness at the 12th and 13th rib, relative to animals within the same

contemporary group.

Note: Calves born as a result of embryo transfer are evaluated in a separate contemporary group for ultrasound traits. ASA: American Simmental Association AAA: American Angus Association BIF: Beef Improvement Federation

EXPECTED PROGENY DIFFERENCES (EPD’S)The difference in expected performance of future progeny of an individual, compared with expected performance of future progeny of an

individual of average genetic merit. Reported in units of measurement for the trait (e.g. lb., cm, etc.).

Production EPD’s:

Calving Ease Direct (CE): Predict the average difference in ease with which a sire’s calves will be born when bred to first-calf heifers.

Expressed as percentage of unassisted births with a higher value indicating greater calving ease.

Birth Weight EPD (BW): BW EPDs are expressed in pounds and predict the average difference that can be expected in an animal’s

offspring when compared with another animal in the same genetic evaluation. Birth weight EPDs are primarily used as an indicator of calving

ease, with the age and size of the females to be bred usually dictating how much birth weight can be tolerated.

Weaning Weight EPD (WW): WW EPDs are expressed in pounds and predict the average differences in weight that can be expected

between the progeny of animals in the same genetic evaluation at 205 days of age. Weaning Weight EPDs do not account for differences in

weaning weight that are due to milk.

Yearling Weight EPD (YW): YW EPDs are expressed in pounds and predict the average differences that can be expected between the progeny of animals at one year of age.

Maternal EPD’s:

Maternal Calving Ease EPD (MCE): Predict the average ease with which a sire’s daughters will calve as first-calf heifers when compared

to the daughters of another sire in the same evaluation. Expressed as percentage of unassisted births.

Maternal Milk EPD (MM): Milk EPDs are expressed as pounds of calf weaned by a bull’s daughters. They reflect the average differences

in weaning weight that can be expected in grand progeny due to the milking ability of a bull’s daughters. Available feed resources will

dictate the extent to which milking ability should be selected.

Maternal Weaning Weight EPD (MWW): Total Maternal EPDs are expressed as pounds of calf weaned by an animal’s daughters. They

account for average differences that can be expected from both weaning weight direct as well as from milk, and measure a sire’s ability to

transmit milk production and growth rate through his daughters.

Stayability EPD (STAY): Stayability is defined as the probability that a sire’s daughters entering the herd will stay in production through 6 years of age. The Stayability EPD provides an estimate of how long a sire’s daughters will stay in the herd compared to another sire in the

same evaluation. Higher values indicate greater stayability.

Carcass EPD’s:

Carcass Weight EPD (CW): CW EPD’s estimate average differences in carcass weight, expressed in pounds at a given age endpoint.

Yield Grade EPD (YG): Predict the average differences in cutability that can be expected between the progeny of animals at a given age

endpoint. As with all EPDs, YG is expressed as a deviation. Negative values are desirable. To use it, one must 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 1/3 of yield grade

better (lower) than a zero bull. If zero bulls 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). (Simmental)

Marbling EPD (MAR OR IMF): Predict the average difference in USDA Quality Grade in an animal’s progeny when compared to the

progeny of another animal at a given age endpoint. Expressed in numerical marbling score where one point equals one USDA marbling score.

Backfat EPD (BF or FAT): Estimate the average differences that are expected in external fat thickness at the 12th and 13th rib between progeny of different animals. Expressed in inches at a given age endpoint.

Ribeye Area EPD (RE): Predict the average difference in ribeye area in an animal’s progeny when compared to the progeny of another

animal at a given age endpoint. Expressed in square inches.

SIMMENTAL – API $ and TI $ EPD INDEXES:Though EPD’s allow for the comparison of genetic levels for many economically important traits, they only provide a piece of the economic

puzzle. That’s where $ indexes come in. Through well conceived, rigorous mathematical computation, $ indexes blend EPD’s and

economics to estimate an animal’s overall impact on your bottom line. The same technology that led to the dramatic progress in swine,

poultry, and dairy genetics over the last several decades was used to develop the $ indexes. The API and TI indexes calculate the estimated

differences between bulls in net dollars returned per cow exposed for two different herd scenarios as described below.

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 of their daughters required to maintain herd size retained and the remaining heifers and steers put on feed and sold grade and yield.

Terminal Index (TI): Evaluates sire for use on mature Angus cows with all offspring put on feed and sold grade and yield. Consequently,

maternal traits such as milk, stayability, and maternal calving ease are not considered in the index.

If you retain replacement heifers use the API index, if not, use TI.

Individual EPD’s are still relevant for making improvements in specific traits. The API$ and TI$ provide a valuable estimate of total genetic

merit.

Full brother to Lot 1, also ranking in TOP 1% of the breed for $API and $TI. As a group the sale bulls rank in the TOP 5% of the breed for marbling. Lot 1 and 3 were the high IMF bulls of this contemporary group. Calves from these bulls will be easy to market at weaning, or retain on feed and sell on a carcass grid. Given their cow family, they should also produce nice replacements. Homozygous Polled.

EXPEDITION represents the best of our genetic effort thusfar. He was the top weaning,yearling, and IMF bull of the 2009 calf crop. Not only is he in the TOP 1% of the breed in many individual traits, at $153 for All Purpose Index and $95 for Terminal Index, W413 stands near the very top of the ASA database. Easy fleshing, tremendously thick, homozygous polled, with a good disposition. We are enrolling W413 in the ASA Carcass Merit Project and collecting semen for in-herd sampling.

This bull will make your neighbors want to leave their pasture gates open comebreeding season! Big bodied R888 son with a muscular physique. 2nd high gaining bull on test. Homozygous Polled and TOP 3% of the breed for $API/$TI.

Homozygous Polled, Lucky Man son. Full brothers were a highlight of last year's sale going to Kansas and Missouri. Lots 1 through 7 are all sons of IR Ms Valiosa R888.She has been a tremendous herd bull producer. This year, 7 sons had an average Gain Ratio of 108.

Lot 10 - IR LUCKY MAN W401

The Lucky One X L749 has been one of our best matings. A Full Brother, R219 was the high seller in our 2006 sale to Don Gudenkauf. Daughters are making nice replacements in his herd. You will notice many bulls in the catalog are out of W410's full sisters. They exemplify the type of cows we select for: early maturing, easy keeping,fertile cows that wean a heavy calf every year.

Lot 12 - IR DUAL FOCUS W403

W414 was the 3rd high weaning bull of the 2009 calf crop. On three natural calves, his dam has an average weaning ratio of 121 and average yearling ratio of 113. If you are looking for a bull with a little more frame, take a look at this Lucky Man son.

This baldie bull puts together an excellent set of ratios and EPD's. His dam, T011 (pictured later in the catalog) is a promising first calf heifer. Typical of the Dual Focus calves, W403 is easy fleshing and attractive. This is however the last Dual Focus son ofthe sale, so don't miss him!

W401 is one of our most complete prospects this year. Excellent EPD's and ratios in all categories, with TOP 1% $API and $TI. His dam was one of the top performing heifers in the 2007 calf crop. She has developed into a very nice cow with a perfect udder. W401's granddam, J684, is an 11 year cow that just had her 11th natural calf (one set of twins).

W432 has an EPD spread from negative on BW to over 100 on YW. His dam, S933 (pictured below) is arguable one of the best cows we have ever produced. She has weaned at 60% of her body weight with an average weaning ratio of 129. After producing two very nice bulls naturally, S933 has earned a spot in the Irvine Ranch embryo program. W432 is Homozygous for Black and Polled.

REFERENCE DAM - IR MS RETAIL PROD S933

LOT 16 - IR LUCKY MAN W432

Homozygous Polled full brother to Lot 14, the high gaining bull this year.

W429 was the high gaining bull on test and ranks in the TOP 1% for API/TI. This cow family has a history of producing herd bulls. His granddam is a sister to IR Real Value, available through Genex. M776 has left us with several donor quality daughters like the beautifully uddered, S942. Pictured on this page is S933, a full sister to S942. Four maternal brothers to S942 and S933 averaged over $4000 in our 2009 bull sale.

Full Brother to Lots 21, 22, 24. All 4 bulls are Homozygous Polled by pedigree.

LOT 21 - IR SHEAR FORCE W408

Bred for strong maternal traits and carcass merit. W458's dam is a beautiful, ultra deep-bodied cow. Homozygous Polled. This is a later born bull that was not on the gain test with the group. Homozygous Polled.

In our view, W408's dam is a near ideal cow. Miss 2109 is a phenotypically attractive, 1250 lb cow that has proven to be a prolific producer. W408 is the first of 4 full brothers from the 2109 X Shear Force mating. The strengths of this mating are moderate birth weights/mature size with excellent maternal and carcass traits. W408 ranks in the TOP 1% for API, MAR, REA, Milk, and low BW.

Full brother to Lots 21, 23, and 24. We really like the uniformity of these four 2109 X Shear Force sons. Note the ultrasound ratios and carcass EPD's on W439.

The wonderful thing about embryo transfer is the ability to mass produce great cows like this bull's dam, 2109.

Calving Ease prospect from the Elba L84 line. She produced to 19 years of age in our program.

Moderate framed Angus out of a first calf heifer. Gained extremely well on test. Should work very well in a SimAngus program.

Calving Ease Prospect. Our Angus are bred to be easy calving with maternal strength and carcass merit. This bull should leave behind some nice daughters.

M776 grandson that gained well on test. Moderate BW with a good set of EPD's.Homozygous Polled.

W444 would be a good prospect for downsizing some larger framed cows.

IRVINE RANCH - SIMMENTAL, SIM-ANGUS, ANGUS GENETIC

CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Though not a scienti c poll,based on my interaction withbreeders there seems to have

been a substantial increase in the useof our economic indexes since theirintroduction. I get call after call frombreeders who are using them —or at least are curious about their use.There have been several breeders of late who have asked for morespeci c details on the construction of our indexes. Given the interest, I thought it may be worthwhile todelve a little deeper into what makesthem tick. Since several articlespertaining to ASA’s All Purpose (API)and Terminal (TI) indexes have beenpublished in the Register I will nottake time for the basics (e.g., de n-ing them); for those wishing for aquick reference on our indexes seepage 46 in the March SimTalk , morethorough description can be foundby clicking the library icon atwww.simmental.org.

Some are of the impression thatwe use our intuition to construct ourindexes, much like a chef would puttogether a gourmet meal —a dash ofthis and a pinch of that and voila!The truth is that it is not nearly thatexciting. ASA’s indexes are con-structed very similarly to the way an accountant would calculate projections on how the purchase of a piece of equipment will impact a

rm’s bottom line. In doing so, theaccountant has to estimate how theequipment will perform, i.e., howmuch output will be achieved andwhat level of input will be required to achieve it.

This is where EPDs come in.Because they are calculated by usingall available information on the over6,000,000 animals in our database,EPDs provide far and away the bestprediction of the output and corre-sponding input expected in a sire’soffspring. These output and inputtraits are those required to calculatepro t —the type of information anaccountant would need to make

economic projections on a piece of equipment. In animal breedinglingo, these are called economicallyrelevant traits. The traits relevant to our All Purpose Index (API) arelisted below:

Table 1. EconomicallyRelevant Traits in API

Salvage weightFemale longevityMilk productionCowherd intakeFeedlot intakeCalf survivalWeaning growthPost-weaning growthCarcass weightYield gradeMarbling

Beside the fact that the list isextensive due to API covering virtu-ally all segments of a productionsystem, in perusing it you probablynoticed that we only publish EPDsfor some of these traits. For example,though you have all seen our wean-ing growth and carcass EPDs youundoubtedly have never seen ourcowherd or feedlot intake EPDs. Isay that like we have them. We do!You may be wondering how that canbe since we do not collect data onthose traits. The answer is that wecalculate EPDs for traits we don’tcollect data on by using traits we do collect data on. For example,research has shown that there is a very strong genetic relationshipbetween feedlot intake and growth;i.e., animals with genes for rapidgrowth very likely eat more in thefeedlot —hardly a surprise. Since we collect loads of data on growth,we can leverage what we knowabout a sire’s growth genetics withthe strong relationship betweengrowth and intake to predict feedlotintake on the sire’s calves.

We also know that the size of asire’s daughters and their milk pro-duction level provides insight about

By Wade Shafer, Ph.D., ASA Director of Performance Programs

the energy they will need to main-tain themselves and wean a calf,i.e., their intake requirements.Through this process of combiningour knowledge of genetic relation-ships with the data you submit oncalving ease, growth, carcass traitsand stayability, we are able to pre-dict the genetic level for each of theeleven traits used in the calculationof API. Because cowherd traits arenot important in terminal sire selec-tion, only the last seven traits areeconomically relevant to TI.

Predicting an animal’s geneticmerit in the economically relevanttraits provides the biological compo-nents required to determine ananimal’s impact on pro t. Now weneed to tie economics to the biology.This is accomplished via a computersimulation program developed byUSDA research geneticist, Dr. MikeMacNeil. Dr. MacNeil’s simulatormimics beef cattle production on thecomputer—cows conceive, gestate,calve, lactate, rebreed, calves areweaned, open and old cows areculled, heifers are retained, and cull heifers and steers are placed on feed and eventually harvested.You do not get dirty raising com-puter cows—but you can sureanswer a lot of questions!

The rst step in tying biology to economics with the simulator isgenerating a “ base” herd. The basesimulation calculates the pro tabilityof the average half Simmental, halfAngus herd. Simmental x Anguswas chosen for the base, as Angus isthe predominant cow in the commer-cial industry by a country mile. Itstands to reason, therefore, that thebulk of Simmental bulls will be usedon Angus cows. The averages of thebasic biological traits of this virtualbase herd can be found below:

Indexes project the overall economicvalue of an animal.

Of course, we also need estimatesof future prices and costs to makeeconomic projections for this herd.Yes. I said futureprices and costs.Because we are selecting seed stockthat will produce offspring in thefuture, future prices and costs arewhat are pertinent to us. We haveused multiple sources to make thesepredictions (e.g., CattleFax, econo-mists, and industry experts). This isan area where we played the gourmetchef and used intuition to somedegree. When it comes to predictingthe future, there is inevitably someguesswork involved.

Fortunately, studies have shownthat price and cost predictions canbe off by a substantial margin andeconomic indexes still tend to rank

animals fairly similarly. This maysound counterintuitive, but there aresolid reasons for it: 1) because eachtrait is only a piece of the overallpro tability puzzle, if the economicsof a particular trait change dramati-cally (e.g., the choice/ select spreaddrops to zero), its effect on the indexis limited to the degree the traitimpacts overall pro t, 2) becauseprices and costs tend to movetogether over time, the impact of anoff-base prediction in one area willlikely be counterbalanced by anerrant prediction in another. Forexample, if in ation is predicted tobe 3% and ends up being 6% bothprices and costs are likely to beunderestimated by an average of 3% with the net impact on the indexbeing minimal. A sample of theprices and costs used in index calculation can be found below:

complete, we have very valuableinformation —an estimate of thefuture pro tability of the averageSimmental x Angus herd. This infor-mation provides a benchmark fromwhich we derive weightings for eacheconomically relevant trait. This isaccomplished by changing each traitone unit while holding all otherssteady and comparing the differencein the bottom line with the baseherd. (This undertaking would bevirtually impossible in the realworld; however, computer cowsmake it a piece of cake!) Armed with EPDs on each animal for theeconomically relevant traits andweighting factors based on theimpact these traits have on pro twe calculate economic indexes—theoverall economic value of an animal.

There you have it, my attempt attaking some of the mystery out of oureconomic indexes. In a nutshell, theprocess is best described as geneticaccounting. Though the concept maybe new to the beef industry, economicindexes have been central to themonumental genetic progress seen inthe poultry, swine, and dairy indus-tries over the last several decades.Given the multitude of biological andeconomic factors impacting pro t,assimilating them all in our minds inthe hope of accurately assessing theeconomic value of a genotype is akinto taking a half-court shot from theseat of your pants to win the game—highly unlikely. Your chances ofaccurately assessing an animal’seconomic merit are greatly enhancedby using tools that apply a rigorous,accountant-like method to predictingpro t, in other words, ASA’s eco-nomic selection indexes.

Pretty SimAngus cow with a nice deposition. Her wide-backed Premium Beef heifer at side is sure to end up in the replacement pen.

Here's a chance to purchase an M776 daughter. Check out this great Dual Focus heifer calf at side. Top 1% of the breed for Ribeye.

LOT 35 - IR MS GENEVA U077

M777 is also the dam of IR Bellwether T300, high selling bull in our 2008 bull sale. Nice cow with a good Dual Focus heifer at side (calf has two white socks on back legs).

R899 is an ET Recipient with a S942 X GW Lucky Man 644N bull calf at side. S942 is the dam of Lot 14, the high gaining bull on test.

THE FEMALES THAT SELL:The females selling represent the first public auction offering of a group of breeding females in our 83 year history. There a re no culls selling in this group, only cows that we would be just as willing to retain in the herd. Our program is now generating more quality replacement females than we have the ability to maintain in the herd, and we are proud to offer this group.

The ability to offer these quality females is the result of three genetic improvement strategies: 1.) Strict culling - Heifers and cows that fail to meet high standards are culled. 2.) Use of quality, proven sires through Artificial Insemination for over 40 years. 3.) Embryo Transfer - Our first attempt at ET was in 1987, and was used with limited success from then until 2004. Beginning at that time we set a goal to produce 40-50% of the annual calf crop from the best 3% of our cowherd, via embryo work. This goal has been achieved with the result being an improvement in both consistency and quality every year.

The AI sired calves at side represent cutting edge genetics. As a group they have an average API of $131, which ranks them in the TOP 4% of the breed.

All cows are open and should be ready to start breeding anytime fit for your program. If you purchase a first calf heifer(s) remember they are still growing and manage them accordingly toinsure they breed right back. A sale supplement sheet will be available to update calf information not available at the time of the catalog being published. This supplement will be available at the sale, or ahead of the sale at: www.irvineranchgenetics.com

LOT 48 - IR MS LUCKY ONE R882

Our Lucky One daughters have been a real asset. They have good udders, calve easy, and rebreed early. R882 and her Incentive heifer will make a nice 2-in-one to take home.

We had to make some tough decisions which cows to put in this sale. This first calf Angus heifer should stick with you for a long while.

Strapping Dual Focus bull calf at side. Here is a chance to buy a herd bull, one year early.Momma comes along as a bonus!
