WelcomeWe would like to welcome you to our 19th

Annual Open House and Private Treaty KickoffSale. 2016 has been a challenging year for all ofus in the farming and ranching business. Withsome of our input costs dropping a little and ourprices firming and maybe moving up, we canlook forward to 2017. We have all been throughthis before. Farmers and ranchers are alwaysoptimistic. As always we want to thank our pastcustomers. We really do appreciate your trust andinterest in our program.

2016 was another interesting weather year.We had very wet periods and very dry periods,but made it through the year in pretty goodshape. We were also blessed with our secondgrandchild. Christmas morning, Caroline KayeCarlson was born and gave us a very specialChristmas present.

This year we will be offering 36 yearlingbulls, purebred and balancers, red and black (severalhomozygous black) and 100% polled (several knownhomozygous polled by pedigree). These bulls had nocreep feed while on the cow. They were weaned onSeptember 11th and fed a high roughage ration. Weraise and feed our bulls with the commercial man inmind. The bulls have all been DNA tested and haveGenomic Enhanced EPD’s for added accuracy. Theyall have a negative test for BVD-PI. All ultrasoundinformation is also included in the catalog. Dr. Wulfat Red Cloud Animal Health has semen tested thebulls and they all carry a first breeding season guar-antee.There will be a link to the videos ofeach individual bull on our website

AGA GE-EPDs

How Genomic-Enhanced EPDsImpact Bull Buying Decisions

American Gelbvieh Association’s (AGA)Genomic-Enhanced EPDs (GE-EPDs) pro-vide Gelbvieh and Balancer ® breeders andtheir commercial producers the ability tomore accurately identify young individualswith the right genetics needed to accelerategenetic improvement in their respectiveherds.

GE-EPDs result in more accurate EPDsfor bulls and females two to four years soonerwhen compared to using pedigree and perfor-mance information alone. The information canbe used to more accurately select sires thatexcel in feedlot and carcass traits or choosebulls that can be used on replacement heif-ers with increased confidence.

Bottom line, GE-EPDs allow bull buyers tomake smarter, better informed bull and fe-male buying decisions backed by more accu-rate EPDs. This saves time and money, re-duces risk and accelerates the rate of ge-netic progress.

Contact the AGA to find out more aboutGE-EPDs by calling 303-465-2333 or visitingthe AGA website at http://w w w . g e l b v i e h . o r g / e d u c a t i o n /epdresearch/research.html.

EPD Definitions In This Catalog Listed below are the definitions of AmericanGelbvieh Association EPDs and the units in whichthey are published. The EPDs with an asterisk (*)next to the names are available to members only.

Calving Ease Direct (CE): Percent of unassistedbirths of a bull’s calves when he is used on heifers. Ahigher number is favorable, meaning better calvingease. This EPD can be vital to a rancher looking todecrease the amount of calves pulled in his herd.

Milk (Milk): The genetic ability of a sire’sdaughters to produce milk expressed in poundsof weaning weight.

Calving ease maternal (CEM): Representedas percent of unassisted births in a sire’s first-calving daughters. A higher number representsmore favorable calving ease. This EPD is im-portant to a rancher’s bottom line because itpredicts which animals produce daughters with agenetic pre-disposition to calve unassisted as heif-ers.

Heifer Pregnancy (HP): Predicts the probabil-ity that a bull’s daughters will become pregnantas first-calf heifers in a regular breeding season,expressed as a percent. A higher value of this EPDis favorable, meaning that a higher percentage ofa sire’s daughters get pregnant as first calf heif-ers compared to other sires in his contemporarygroup.

30-Month Pregnancy (Pg30): Predicts theprobability that a bull’s daughters will becomepregnant and calve at three years of age, giventhat they calved as first-calf heifers. This EPD isexpressed as a percent, again, with a higher numberbeing more favorable meaning a higher percentageof a sire’s daughters will calve at three years of age,given they calved as first-calf heifers.

Stayability (ST): Predicts the genetic difference,in terms of percent probability, that a bull’s daugh-ters will stay productive within a herd to at least sixyears of age. The Stayability EPD is one of the bestmeasures currently available to compare a bull’sability to produce females with reproductive longev-ity.

Growth TraitsBirth Weight (BW): Predicts the difference, in

pounds, for birth weight of the calf.

Weaning Weight (WW): Predicts the difference,in pounds, for weaning weight (adjusted to age ofdam and a standard 205 days of age). This is anindicator of growth from birth to weaning.

Yearling Weight (YW): Predicts the expecteddifference, in pounds, for yearling weight (adjustedto a standard 365 days of age). This is an indicator ofgrowth from birth to yearling.

*Mature Weight EPD (MW): Predicts the aver-age difference in pounds of mature weight of a sire’sprogeny compared to their contemporaries.

Carcass TraitsYield Grade (YG): Differences in yield grade score,

which is a predictor of percent retail product. Smallervalues suggest that progeny will have a better lean tofat ratio.

Carcass Weight (CW): Differences in pounds of hotcarcass weight, adjusted to an industry standard ageendpoint.

Ribeye Area (REA): difference in ribeye area ininches between the 12th and 13th rib. Greater ribeyeareas are preferable.

Marbling (MB): Predicts the differences in thedegree of marbling within the ribeye as expressed inmarbling score units. Greater marbling numbers arepreferable and are an indicator of higher carcassquality grades.

Fat (FT): Differences for fat thickness, in inches,for a carcass over the 12th rib, smaller numbers offat thickness are preferable as excess fat can bedetrimental to yield grade.

Efficiency TraitsDry Matter Intake (DMI): Represents the average

daily dry matter intake per day consumed in pounds.A negative or lesser value is more favorable. Forexample, Bull A has a DMI EPD of .15 and Bull B hasa DMI EPD of -.20, so the progeny of Bull B consume,on average, .35 pound less dry matter per day thanprogeny from Bull A.

*Average Daily Gain (ADG): Difference inaverage daily gain in pounds based on animal’sperformance during a feed intake test period.

*Residual Feed Intake (RFI): Defined as thedifference between an animal’s actual daily feedintake and its predicted daily intake based on growthrate and body size. Animals with a positive RFI valueare deemed more inefficient because they consumemore than expected while animals with a negativeRFI value are considered more efficient because theyconsume less than expected.

What Is An Index?Indexed are tools that allow you to select for

several EPDs at once, making selections moreefficient than selecting on one trait at a time. Indexesweigh traits based on their importance to a producer’sbottom line by using a trait’s economic and geneticvalue. Indexes are a good way to put selectionemphasis on traits that are economically relevant.

Total Maternal (TM): An index that combinesgrowth and milk information as a prediction of theweaning weight performance of calves from a sire’sdaughters. As an index, this value is not reportedwith an accompanying accuracy. A greater TM valuemeans a mother that returns comparatively higherweaning weights on her calves.

TM Index: MK EPD + 1/2 WW EPD

$Cow: Represents the genetic value in dollars ofprofit of an animal when retained as a replacementfemale relative to other animals in the herd. Ahigher number represents more profitable ge-netics for maternal productivity. $Cow willserve producers in selecting bulls that will siredaughters with stayability and reproductiveefficiency as well as other traits that lead toprofitability in a production system, such asmilk, calving ease, moderate mature weight andthe ability of calves to gain. A female’s geneticsalso influence the performance of her calves inthe feedlot and at slaughter, so traits such as feedefficiency and carcass value are also included in$Cow.

Efficiency Profit Index (EPI): An economicselection index developed to aid producers inselecting for more feed efficient cattle that stillhave acceptable amounts of gain. The EPI providesslight negative pressure on intake, while keepinggain at a constant value. By selecting on this index,producers will be able to find those animals thatgain the same amount as their contemporarieswhile eating less.

Feeder Profit Index (FPI): An economic selectionindex designed to aid producers in selecting sireswhose progeny will perform in the feedlot and aresold on grade and yield. Well ranking sires for FPIhave higher marbling and carcass weight than theircontemporaries. As a terminal index, little emphasisis put on maternal traits such as stayability andcalving ease.

MLM Gelbvieh ranks10th in the nation

as owner ofDam’s of Merit and

Dam’s of Distinction.

Gelbvieh breeder recognizedfor outstanding productivity

MLM GelbviehMarlin MeyerSuperior, Neb.

was recently recognized by the American GelbviehAssociation (AGA) as the owner of 35 Gelbviehcows exhibiting the consistent maternal efficiencytypical of "The Continental Breed of Choice." TheAGA has designated these outstanding beef femalesas Dam of Merit and Dam of Distinction.

Maternal productivity plays a major role inprofitable beef production, as nearly 60 percent ofthe cost of producing a pound of beef can beattributed to the cow herd. Considerable economicresearch has demonstrated that fertility and calvingease followed by milk, growth and carcass cutabilityhave the biggest influence on profit in a retainedownership (conception to carcass) system.

Commercial cattlemen agree that Gelbviehhave strong maternal attributes with the addedbenefits of fast growth and carcass cutability.Given the increased emphasis on efficient beefproduction, the Gelbvieh breed is in an excellentposition to increase its influence on the beef in-dustry.

The title "Dam of Merit" recognizes cows thatmeet strict selection criteria including early pubertyand conception, regular calving intervals, andabove-average weaning weights on at least threecalves. Of the 38,781 active cows in the Gelb-vieh breed, only 5.6 percent qualify for Dam ofMerit. The "Dam of Distinction" honor recog-nizes cows that meet the same high standardsfor superior, long-term productivity with atleast eight calves. Just 1.0 percent of all activeGelbvieh cows qualify for this elite group.

For more information on Gelbvieh cattle andAGA programs, contact the American GelbviehAssociation at 350 Interlocken Blvd. Ste 200,Broomfield, CO 80021, or telephone (303) 465-2333.
