Page 3: 23rd Annual Elmwood Limousin Production Sale

Elmwood Limousin participates in the Limousin Inventory Management

System. This means we maintain our cow herd inventory with the North

American Limousin Foundation. For each cow in our herd we must have a calf

on record, reason for no progeny recorded, or reason for disposal. Complete

herd information contributes to more accurate data and EPDs.

Schuppe Farms/ Elmwood Limousin

Dear Cattlemen and Friends:

We are very excited about the bulls we have in this year’s sale offering. This could very well be the most uniform and highest performance group of bulls we have ever sold. Even with the drought, this group of bulls is the heaviest weaning group we have ever produced.

Our goal is to produce bulls that will work for commercial cattlemen. Bulls that produce calves that come easy, grow, perform in the feedlot, and produce females that make excellent mother cows.

We realize the continuing drought is making decisions difficult regarding our operations. We need to remember that it will rain again and the cattle market will be very good. Now is the time to incorporate good genetics to take advantage of this cattle market.

We certainly appreciate all of our customers who have made it possible to have our 23rd sale. Thank you very much.

Whether you are planning to bid, buy, or just come to look, we welcome you to our sale. Mom said she will make grebel again, so come early to enjoy some grebel and coffee. We invite you to look through the sale offering and be our guest for lunch.

If you have any questions about the cattle in the sale, feel free to give us a call.

We hope to see you sale day,

THE SCHUPPE FAMILY

Gordon, Earline, Kassi

HOW WE HANDLE OUR BULLS

Our cows graze on both dry land and irrigated grass during the summer months

and on cornstalks in the winter months with mineral tubs available all the time.

Our calves are grown on mother’s milk and grass until weaning. NO CREEP FEED.

We find creep feeding gives false reading as to what a cow can actually produce.

After weaning, the bulls are put on a high roughage ration consisting of ground

alfalfa, corn silage, high moisture corn, a liquid protein supplement, and free

choice prairie hay. The bull calves run in a long pen, 1/4 mile in length. They

make several trips a day from one end of the pen to the other, ensuring they get

plenty of exercise. Our bulls are not overly fat. Several of our customers have

commented that our bulls are in good condition after the first breeding season.

We take weights several times from weaning to sale date. The bulls have tested

negative for BVD. DNA testing has been done for homozygous black and polled

traits and the results appear with each lot. We will have scrotal measurements,

rib eye and marbling scores available on sale day. We hope this added

information will help make your bull selection easier.

The Key to Maximum Cow

Profitability

The production and economical advantages of

commercial crossbred cows adapted to their

environment as compared to straightbreds are

undeniable. 20 percent more pounds of calf

weaned per cow exposed because of hybrid vigor

for age at puberty, conception rate, survival to

weaning, milk production and weaning weight; 1.3

years additional cow longevity;

And therefore, up to 30 percent greater lifetime

cow productivity.

How much crossbred advantage can you afford to

give up? If you start with F1 Angus-cross females

and use Angus bulls for three generations, the

resulting calves are 15/16 Angus. That sacrifices

87% of hybrid vigor. Research and practical

experience clearly have demonstrated that

commercial F1 crossbred cows return $70 to $100

more per year than straight-bred cows.

If the chosen crossbreeding system yields

between 50 and 67 percent of maximum maternal

heterosis, even $50 per year in crossbreeding

advantage adds up to $400 or so greater lifetime

earnings per hybrid cow as compared to

straightbreds.

WHY BUY PERFORMANCE TESTED CATTLE?

…...Because…..

SCHUPPE FARMS cattle program stresses the importance of fertility, p e r fo r m a n c e, go o d disposition and calving ease.

Why Lim-Flex? HYBRID VIGOR!

World’s largest cattle feeder gives insight on cattle industry: Tom Brink of

Five Rivers Ranch Cattle Feeding challenges producers to crossbreed. Brink

states that one trend that will bring more value to beef is the expanding

popularity of Angus hybrids. Specifically, hybrid bulls on Angus based cows.

From a feedlot perspective, Brink believes the hybrid Angus trend will be

beneficial to the industry particularly on yield grades. “There have been

cutability issues and overly fat cattle that the higher percentage Angus cattle

bring to the industry. Our buyers say the ideal Angus percentage is 50 to 75%.”

Part of the reason straight Angus is not a total solution, is hybrid vigor.

“Hybrid vigor is still very important at the cow/calf level and you can’t get

that by crossing Angus on Angus for multiple generations. But structured

crossbreeding has been too hard to implement, especially for small producers.

So the hybrid bull is convenient and brings the muscle that continental breeds

offer to the table.”

COLE 17W came from the Coleman herd in Montana. He is proving

to be a real asset to our herd. His growth EPDs continue to go up

after each calf crop. His bulls are growthy with lots of depth and

length of body. His first females are calving now and are feminine

with lots of rib & capacity. You can buy his sons with confidence.

Alfalfa came from the Tub Mill Creek herd. He was a member of

the Reserve Champion pen of three Lim-Flex bulls at 2011 National

Western Stock Show. His growth EPDs improved with this his

first calf crop. Calves are very correct and stylish. We use him on

heifers with excellent results. Semen is available. Check out his

son, Lot 61.

COLE 58X is another addition to our herd from Colemans in

Montana. This is his first calf crop and we are very pleased

with them. They exhibit the depth of rib, thickness and

moderate frame of their sire.

EPD AND PERFORMANCE INFORMATION

The EPDs in this catalog reflect the new base used to calculate EPDs for Limousin cattle. They now have the same look as Angus EPDs. For com-

mercial producers this rescaling helps simplify the use of Limousin EPDs by making the set of ranking benchmarks similar for both breeds. While

EPDs of the two breeds cannot be directly compared, if you know the benchmark within the Angus genetic evaluation, you also know the EPD

benchmarks within the Limousin evaluation. Twice a year EPDs are recalculated to include any new data that has been submitted to NALF. This is

done to keep them up to date and improve accuracies. With this in mind, expect EPDs to change on the animals you purchase. The EPDs for the

Lim-Flex calves reflect the combined EPDs of the Angus Assoc. and the current information in the Limousin EPD bank from the sires and dams of

the that breed. As this is a fairly new development, the accuracies will be low.

PERFORMANCE EPDs: CE: stands for calving ease direct and is important when choosing sires to produce calves born easily. The higher the number, the better. BW EPDs: express the difference in birth weight on the progeny of the bulls being compared. WW EPDs: express the difference in pounds at 205 days on the progeny of the bulls being compared. YW EPDs: do the same as WW except it is the weight at 365 days. MA EPDs: predict differences in weaning weights from daughter’s calves due to genes inherited for milk. CETM EPDs: stand for Calving Ease Total Maternal and are important for choosing sires that produce replacement females that give birth to their first calf easily. The higher the number, the better. SC EPDs: are expressed in centimeters of scrotal circumference, and compare the difference expected in sons of the animal. Scrotal EPDs are a good indicator of age of puberty of both the sons and daughters of the animal. CARCASS EPDs: CW EPDs: express the difference in pounds of carcass weight. REA EPDs: express the difference in square inches of rib eye area. YG EPDs: Due to the limited range and usefulness of Limousin fat thickness EPDs, they have been replace with the more informative EPDs for yield grade. Lower YG EPDs are favored and indicate genetic differences for yield grade and cutability of offspring. MS EPDs: marbling score, express the difference in the amount of marbling or flecks of fat in the rib eye. DOLLAR VALUE: $MTI the Mainstream Terminal Index derived from WW, YW, YG and MAR. It measures differ-ences in expected profit per carcass produced for a mainstream grid.

This information should help you analyze and sort the bulls to fit your specific needs. We realize this is a lot of data to use, so please ask us if you need further assistance. We have indicated in the footnotes which bulls we feel will work on heif0.3ers as well as the bulls top EPD traits.

Lim-Flex adapt quicker to their

environment than any other breed we

have ran in the past. Plus, they spread out

better over the range, making better use

of available feed, resulting in decreased

need for supplementation.

Not only do Lim-Flex females offer

unprecedented longevity, but they are

extremely fertile and maternally inclined.

“There was a time when the folks that

influenced the beef industry told us only

purebred bulls were acceptable. One reason

was they didn’t have multi-breed evaluation

like we do today. By using the best from each

gene pool, we can create composites that

bundle a package of traits we couldn’t create

in a purebred scenario.”
