2 T-Heart Ranch High Altitude Bull Sale Saturday March 23, 1:00 pm Southern Colorado Livestock, Monte Vista Sale Day Phone Auctioneer-Andrew Conley Shane Temple Robert Campbell Perry McKinley Marty Ropp T-HEART RANCH..THE SOURCE FOR TRUE HIGH ALTITUDE CATTLE Welcome to the T-Heart Ranch High Altitude Bull Sale. Although we have had a few rough drought years now, we feel that the bulls we are offering in this sale are some of the best we ve raised. We constantly work to provide the highest quality cattle that can survive and thrive in the high altitude and harsh elements of the San Luis Valley. We are again offering a nice set of bulls raised by Campbell s from Ignacio, CO. All of the bulls in the sale have endured the same development test and harsh winter conditions since weaning last fall. We have worked hard to provide you not only PAP tested bulls, but a multiple-generation PAP tested pedigree and breeding program. Our entire cow herd is based on pedigrees that have proven to be successful at high elevations. Knowing first-hand the financial impact that brisket disease can have on a calf crop, we truly understand the importance of having a source for genetics that work in the high country. Our bull development program is designed for optimum performance and longevity, without overfeeding or over-fattening that can negatively impact long-term profitability. We want to be sure you get the right bull for your operation, so if you have any questions about anything in the catalog or otherwise, please contact us by phone, , or text and we will be glad to help you. Bulls are available for inspection at the ranch anytime, and videos will be posted online 2 weeks prior to the sale at Ultrasound and breeding soundness data will be available online prior to the sale as well. We appreciate your business and look forward to working with you in the future. Shane and Beth Temple Shelby, Lindsey, and Ashley

4 EPD Definitions EPDs are calculated by the National Cattle Evaluation program to best provide linear unbiased predictions of genetic merit. Several things are factored in when calculating EPD s. The individuals own performance record, relatives in the pedigree, progeny and grand progeny. Thus, accuracy plays an important part in the calculation. Each Association has a separate database for calculating EPDs. Therefore, there are different EPD averages within each breed and the breeds should not be compared to each other. The EPD was created to give a comparison only within the breed. The EPD s in this catalog are: CE: Calving Ease (Angus & ) A number that predicts the average difference in ease with which a sire s calves will be born when he is bred to first calf heifers higher numbers indicate greater calving-ease. () shown as a ratio with a higher number meaning more ease of calving. BW: Birth Weight, WW: Weaning Weight & YW: Yearling Weight All are expressed in pounds. This shows the expected number of pounds a bull or female will add or subtract from their progeny s birth weight, weaning weight and yearling weight respectively. Milk (Angus & ) MM ( & ) expressed in pounds of weaning weight that a female will add or subtract or that a bull s daughters will have. TM: Total Maternal - (Angus & ): MWW: Maternal Weaning Weight ( & ) expresses the combination of what a sire transmits to his daughters in the form of genetics for growth and genetics for milking ability. Or that same trait directly applied to a female and expressed in pounds. CED (): Calving Ease Daughters shown as a ratio this EPD predicts how well an animal s daughters will calve with a higher number being easier calving. CEM (Angus): Calving Ease Maternal - A number that predicts the ease of calving in a sire (or dam s) daughters. The higher the number, the higher the calving ease. SC: Scrotal Circumference: Value is expressed in centimeters of adjusted yearling (progeny) scrotal circumference. CW: Carcass Weight: expressed in pounds of carcass weight adjusted to a constant fat endpoint. REA: Rib Eye Area: expressed in square inches of rib eye muscle area adjusted to a constant fat endpoint. MB: Marbling: expressed in degrees of marbling score, a determinant of USDA Quality Grade. Value is adjusted to a constant fat endpoint. BF: (Angus & ) : Percentage of backfat on a carcass at 475 days. FT: (Angus) Fat Thickness expressed in inches, is a predictor of the dif- ferences in external fat thickness at the 12th rib (as measured between the 12th and 13th ribs) of a sire s progeny compared to progeny of other sires. YG: Yield Grade (Red Angus & ): Carcass yield grade score at 475 days. SC: Scrotal Circumference: Value is expressed in centimeters of adjusted yearling (progeny) scrotal circumference. CW: Carcass Weight: expressed in pounds of carcass weight adjusted to a constant fat endpoint. REA: Rib Eye Area: expressed in square inches of rib eye muscle area adjusted to a constant fat endpoint. 2

5 MB: Marbling: expressed in degrees of marbling score, a determinant of USDA Quality Grade. Value is adjusted to a constant fat endpoint. BF: (Angus & ) : Percentage of backfat on a carcass at 475 days. FT: (Angus) Fat Thickness expressed in inches, is a predictor of the dif- ferences in external fat thickness at the 12th rib (as measured between the 12th and 13th ribs) of a sire s progeny compared to progeny of other sires. YG: Yield Grade (Red Angus & ): Carcass yield grade score at 475 days. DtF: Days to Finish: expressed in days to reach a constant fat endpoint, used to determine when an animal is finished with the appropriate amount of fat cover. CV: Carcass Value: expressed in dollar value per head, comparing progeny of one animal to another in $ differences when sold on a grid. FM: Feedlot Merit: expressed in dollars per head, value passed on to progeny. API: All-Purpose Index: () Evaluates sires for use on the entire cowherd (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. TI: Terminal Index: () Evaluates sires for use on mature Angus cows with all offspring put on feed and sold grade and yield. Using API and TI: First, determine which index to use; if you are keeping replacements use API, if not, use TI. Then, just as with EPDs, zero in on the unit difference between bulls. (As described above, index units are in dollars per cow exposed.) The difference can be used to determine how much a bull is worth compared to another. Put another way, how much you can pay for one bull compared to another. For example, when buying an all-purpose sire, you can quickly figure a bull scoring +100 for API is worth an extra $6,000 over a +50 bull if both are exposed to 30 cows over 4 years ($50 diff. x 30 hd. x 4 yr. = $6,000). A percentile ranking chart is required to determine where a bull s index value ranks him relative to other bulls in the breed. $VALUE INDEXES $Value indexes are multi-trait selection indexes, expressed in dollars per head, to assist beef producers by adding simplicity to genetic selection decisions. The $Value is an estimate of how future progeny of each sire are expected to perform, on average, compared to progeny of other sires in the database if the sires were randomly mated to cows and if calves were exposed to the same environment. Weaned Calf Value ($W), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for pre- weaning merit. $W includes both revenue and cost adjustments associated with differences in birth weight, weaning direct growth, maternal milk, and mature cow size. Feedlot Value ($F), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for post-weaning merit compared to progeny of other sires. Grid Value ($G), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for carcass grid merit compared to progeny of other sires. Beef Value ($B), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for post-weaning and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires. 3

6 EPD Percentiles - Where does an animal rank? Knowing where an animal s EPD ranks within the population of any given genetic evaluation is a far more valuable and accurate prediction of that animals true genetic predicted merit than simply knowing the numeric value of the EPD itself. First and foremost, before you can rank or even compare animals EPDs, you must be comparing apples to apples and that s why we use the American Association s Multi-Breed Genetic Evaluation. It eliminates the guesswork and necessity conversion table and formulas when comparing breeds or hybrids. The accuracy of the Multi-Breed evaluation is increased greatly when all of an animals ancestors are registered in the ASA herdbook and all of the progeny data from them are processed through the Multi-Breed Genetic Evaluation. The percentile charts below are from the American Association 2013 Multi-Breed Genetic Evaluation using the new /Red Angus base. Using these charts to plot exactly where an animal ranks within the breed is the most accurate way of determining their true genetic merit and is far more important than the actual numeric value given to the EPD. The new ASA/RAAA base that was implemented for the 2013 Spring EPDs does not change animal rankings Purebred Percentile Table % CE BW WW YW MCE MLK MWW STY DOC CWT YG MRB BF REA SF API TI Avg Hybrid Percentile Table % CE BW WW YW MCE MLK MWW DOC CWT YG MRB BF REA SF API TI Avg

7 High Mountain Disease and PAP Testing High Mountain Disease (HMD) also known as Brisket Disease or Dropsy, is one of the Rocky Mountain region s most costly diseases. The disease is the result of elevated pulmonary arterial pressure caused from lack of oxygen, and generally affects animals at elevations above 5,000 ft. Cattle differ in how they respond to oxygen shortage. Some are able to tolerate high pressures for a long period of time while others die quickly. HMD is not limited to one sex or breed, and has been found across all breeds including crossbreds. Dr. Tim Holt, Fort Collins, CO is the consensus world expert on HMD. He s an Assistant Professor at CSU s veterinary hospital and also has a private veterinary practice. Dr. Holt is known as the guru of PAP testing. Pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) scores are obtained by a procedure called right-heartcatheterization. In this procedure, a fine plastic catheter is passed through a needle in the jugular vein, with blood flow into the upper right side of the heart, through a valve into the right ventricle, through another valve, and into the pulmonary artery just short of the branches to the lungs. Pressure waves are observed on a heart monitor and the monitor gives a direct readout of the true average pressure. This disease is stimulated by hypoxic stress secondary to high altitude, Holt explains. Therefore, it s impossible at this time to conduct accurate PAP tests in lower elevations. That s not to say it s not done at lower elevations, but this should be kept in mind at all times when testing cattle in lower elevations. The test at lower elevations should be used only to evaluate the cattle in that herd, Holt explains. It s not a sellable test, he says. In other words, cattle he s tested at lower elevations, regardless of how low their PAP score, have still developed HMD - or scored a high PAP test when taken to high altitude. Research has shown that the heritability of HMD can be quite high, ranging from 42% to 84%. This indicates that cattlemen can successfully select against the disease by culling cattle with high PAP scores. In efforts to cut losses to HMD, cattlemen should identify those animals, specifically bulls, with high PAP scores and cull them from the herd or avoid adding them to the herd. Dr. Holt assures us that the higher the elevation, the more accurate the test. The bulls selling in this sale were all PAP tested by Dr. Tim Holt at T-Heart Ranch at 7,680 ft elevation. Every T-Heart Ranch bull in the sale comes from a multiple-generation PAP tested pedigree. T-Heart Ranch has PAP tested over 3,800 head in the last 9 years 5

25 For decades, the American Association has used DNA to verify color, genetic defects and parentage. New research has enabled DNA to provide valuable information for genetic evaluation. We are now offering a DNA test that, when incorporated into ASA s genetic evaluation, can add significant enhancement to lower accuracy EPDs.

GENETIC TESTING AND TraitTrac STATUS: Sellers must identify the TraitTrac status and the results of any qualitative genetic testing performed on any animals or genetic material offered for sale.

However, the ASA, its directors, officers, employees and agents do not assume any obligation, legal or otherwise, to enforce the sale terms and conditions agreed to between buyer and seller.

27 Cattle with advanced genetic potential, greater levels of health and nutrition are worth more simply because they have the potential to deliver more value with less risk for their next owner. Everyone wants a premium for their efforts, but to access a larger and better market you need to consider showing your production to a larger and better audience. Week in and week out the market values generated by Superior Livestock set the standard by which premium prices are measured. Let your seedstock provider and Allied Genetic Resources provide you the service you need to take advantage of that added value. All of us struggle when it comes to determining a market value for our calves. Ask too little and leave dollars on the table, ask too much and risk losing a sale. Most of us would rather take a whipping than decide whether or not to accept an offered price or answer the question, what do you want for your calves? Allied can help you through that process by representing your best interest in the sale of your feeder cattle or potential replacement females. Your seedstock provider, with help from Allied staff, can help you set a fair and justified premium price for your cattle and then represent them to the world through Superior Livestock s massive network of buyers. Instead of counting on 3 or 4 buyers to fairly compete for your better calves, represent them to 7,000 new ones in addition to the 3 or 4 you ve dealt with in the past. The Superior marketing option we prefer and specialize in is the Country Page program ( com). This internet based, private treaty style option allows you to set an asking price with delivery details that suit your program and not commit you to a single day s market with the potential risk and volatility that we see more and more of these days. Buyers then have the option to buy now at the asking price you ve listed or place a bid on those cattle that can be raised by another bidder or accepted at any point by the seller. Your representative can help you with setting that desired price and all the details of delivery, video and the extra value descriptions that make one set of cattle more attractive to buyers than another. Of course the regular Superior Livestock Video Auctions are always a great option for those who believe there is more value to be gained by that method of selling and your producer representative is fully capable of handling the details to get your calves promoted for sale on TV. Of course, larger groups (semi loads) are best suited for these types of sales, but your representative is ready to assist you in working with other producers to market your calves together and take advantage of the extra value larger numbers can attract. Certainly there is greater effort involved in marketing this way, but the rewards can be great. Your seedstock source has a vested interest in your success because it is directly tied to his or her own long term success. Who else knows more about the value of your production than someone you work with regularly to make improvement. That s why our Allied genetics producers want to be an important part of your feeder cattle marketing program, because it matters to them! Market your calves with someone you can trust! - Your Seedstock source is your Superior Representative. - Allied/Superior partnership gives identity to you higher value genetics. - Nationwide exposure to more than 7,000 registered buyers on the Superior network. - Use the Country Page option to sell at the price and speed you are comfortable with or chose the traditional Superior Video Auction for optimum competition. - Experienced consulting and representation puts your interest first in marketing.
