– PLEASE NOTE –

Once, again the sale will be a “Power Point” sale.Bulls will be in pens at Merit Sale site for your appraisal.

This concept is stress free for the bulls and the sale moves quicker saving you time as well.

Calving Ease Scores!

Calving ease is often related to birth weight of a bull. This ispartly true but there are other factors that influence calving ease:

• The dam and her management are at least 50% of calving ease.

• Also, the consistency of the birth weights of the sire and the damshould be considered.

• Nutrition, gestation and environment all influence birth weight.

We have rated each bull in the sale based on all the informa-tion we have.

HHH Should produce minimal problems when bred to moderate

size first calf heifers

HH Recommend for second calvers or smaller framed cows

1100 lbs to 1300 lbs.

H Recommend for mature cows 1400 lbs, plus

Insurance Program!

Because we want our customers to have the best deal possible,this year we felt that Stockmans Insurance offered better ratesthan we could and we were assured that customer service wouldbe a priority.

Our local agent, Byron Vermeulen, will be representing Stock-mans’ Insurance sale day and he will help you find what fits yourneeds.

He dis-plays true herd bull character and moves like a stud. His So-cialite dam has been a great producer for us. 77x daughters are moderateand feminine and should make excellent brood cows.

EPDs (Expected Progeny Difference)

EPD’s are specific to each breed and cannot be compared across

different breeds. Not only do they incorporate the performance of individualanimals, but also the performance of all of its relatives. If you want to stressa specific trait, select the breed that offers that trait, and then select individu-als within the breed. EPDs indicate a probable variance above or below thebreed average for that trait for a given bull’s progeny. EPDs are the best toolavailable to use as a guide to the direction you want your herd to go.

BW EPD: The actual birth weights in pounds adjusted for age of thedam are utilized in the analysis of this trait. The procedure provides a pre-diction of differences between sires for progeny birth weights free of the ef-fects of contemporary group (or herd) and age of dam. Birth weight is of economic importance because to some degree it refl ects calving ease. Aminus value relects probable birth weights below the breed average. A plusvalue refl ects a probable birth weight above breed average.

WW EPD: (Adjusted 205 Day Weaning Weight): Weaning weight EPDsshould be used to compare the weaning weight growth of progeny of twobulls of the same breed and relative to the breed average weaning weight in pounds. Higher weaning EPDs predict

higher weaning weights.

YW EPD: (Adjusted 365 Day Weights): This trait is of economic impor-

tance since it is more indicative of growth potential through market weightstaken early in the animal’s life. It is also associated with efficiency of gainand pounds of trimmed retail boneless beef.
