GIBBS FARMS BULLS . . . DEVELOPED THE GIBBS FARMS WAY!<br />

If you want your new bull purchase <strong>to</strong> go home and work in a real world environment,<br />

then you had better purchase bulls that have been developed in a real world environment . . .


IBBS<br />

ARMS<br />

Welcome <strong>to</strong> the 7th Annual Gibbs Farms Bull and Replacement Heifer <strong>Sale</strong> on Saturday,<br />

November 10th. Once again, we are excited about what we have <strong>to</strong> offer in this year’s<br />

sale. For many years we have made in depth studies of the genetics of the bulls we<br />

have chosen as herd sires and AI sires. Each year, Doug and Gordon travel extensively<br />

<strong>to</strong> fi nd and try <strong>to</strong> purchase the best bulls available anywhere in the U.S. <strong>to</strong> use in our<br />

herd and as AI prospects. A study of our herd sire battery will prove that they have<br />

been successful in these travels. The bulls and replacement females that we are offering<br />

are a direct result of these sire selections and we are sure they will be a benefi t <strong>to</strong> our<br />

cus<strong>to</strong>mers. The genetics that these animals carry are the most up-<strong>to</strong>-date that can be<br />

found anywhere. With cattle numbers as low as they are now and prices for feeder and<br />

s<strong>to</strong>cker cattle at an all time high, now is an excellent time <strong>to</strong> invest in the best genetics<br />

available. We feel that you will be very pleased with the cattle offered in our sale.<br />

Last year, we had our fi rst ever Pre-<strong>Sale</strong> Open House two weeks prior <strong>to</strong> our Production <strong>Sale</strong>, giving our cus<strong>to</strong>mers a chance <strong>to</strong> come<br />

and examine our sale offerings at their own pace, or with assistance from the Gibbs Farm crew if needed. We had no idea how many<br />

people would come, but was pleasantly surprised at the number of visi<strong>to</strong>rs we had. So once again, we will be having a Pre-<strong>Sale</strong> Open<br />

House on Saturday, Oc<strong>to</strong>ber 27th from dawn <strong>to</strong> dark. Our sale animals will be available for <strong>view</strong>ing, the Gibbs Farms herd sires will<br />

be on display, and we will give farm <strong>to</strong>urs all day. Special industry representatives from several feeder calf marketing fi rms, bull studs,<br />

and feed and mineral companies will be on hand <strong>to</strong> offer assistance and answer questions you may have concerning your operations.<br />

The entire Gibbs Farms crew will be available <strong>to</strong> assist you with animal selection or in any way that we can with genetic and marketing<br />

decisions. Lunch will be served with refreshments and snacks throughout the day.<br />

For those who cannot attend the Open House, as in the past, all the sale animals will be available for <strong>view</strong>ing in large grass lots<br />

all day on Thursday and Friday of sale week and someone will be on hand <strong>to</strong> answer any questions you might have. Lunch will be<br />

available on Friday as well as refreshments throughout the day.<br />

Wendell Gibbs is surrounded by his family at the 2012<br />

Allied Genetic Resources is a business owned and supported by a group of committed cattle seeds<strong>to</strong>ck producers but designed <strong>to</strong> promote the<br />

profi tability of their cus<strong>to</strong>mers. The future of genetic production and marketing will become more focused on cus<strong>to</strong>mer service and increased<br />

profi tability and less about the tradition of just selling bulls. Superior genetics must not only function <strong>to</strong> increase effi ciencies at the ranch, they will<br />

need <strong>to</strong> be desired and differentiated in value by the beef industry. Allied is positioned <strong>to</strong> provide those types of services. Whether you are looking<br />

for genetics tailored <strong>to</strong> your commercial production environment and resources, or you are searching for profi table marketing options, we can help.<br />

The owners of Allied Genetic Resources are located in 16 states from California <strong>to</strong> Alabama<br />

and Montana <strong>to</strong> Texas and currently market more than 4500 bulls each year. This scope<br />

and selection helps <strong>to</strong> insure great selection and quality whether you need 1 or 100 bulls or<br />

any size group of replacement females. With nearly 2300 SimAngus bulls, 1100 Simmental,<br />

800 Angus and Red Angus and 250 Balancer bulls marketed annually, Allied owners offer<br />

tremendous selection regardless of your genetic needs.<br />

Ultimately, the value of the Allied group of producers is in their character and commitment <strong>to</strong><br />

cus<strong>to</strong>mers. This business rests fi rmly on the combined reputations of some of the highest quality<br />

people in the beef business. Independent farm and ranch families all with a proud tradition<br />

of standing behind the bulls and females they sell and working with the goal of commercial<br />

cus<strong>to</strong>mer profi tability.<br />

BULL BUYER’S QUICK GUIDE TO ASA EPDS AND INDEXES<br />

Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs): EPDs are the most accurate and effective <strong>to</strong>ol available for comparing genetic levels. In using EPDs, the difference<br />

between two sires’ EPDs represents the unit difference expected in the performance of their progeny. For example, if sires A and B have EPDs of +10 and -5, a 15-unit<br />

difference would be expected in the progeny (moving from -5 <strong>to</strong> +10 yields 15 units.) The key <strong>to</strong> using EPDs is knowing what units they are expressed in. For example,<br />

if the above case referred <strong>to</strong> weaning weight EPDs, A would be expected <strong>to</strong> sire 15-pounds more weaning weight than B. If calving ease were the trait, A would<br />

be expected <strong>to</strong> sire 15-percent more unassisted births in fi rst-calf heifers; in other words, if B sired 30 assists in a group of 100 heifers, we’d expect A <strong>to</strong> require 15<br />

assists. A percentile-ranking chart is required <strong>to</strong> determine where a bull’s EPDs rank him relative <strong>to</strong> other bulls in the breed. For percentile rankings or more detailed<br />

information about EPDs and $ indexes visit www.simmental.org. Listed below are the units ASA EPDs are expressed in:<br />

Calving Ease (CE): Percent of unassisted births when used on heifers. Stayability (STAY): Percent of daughters remaining in the cowherd<br />

Birth Weight (BW): Pounds of birth weight.<br />

at six years of age.<br />

Weaning Weight (WW): Pounds of weaning weight.<br />

Carcass Weight (CW): Pounds of carcass weight.<br />

Yearling Weight (YW): Pounds of yearling weight.<br />

Yield Grade (YG): Yield grade score.<br />

Maternal Calving Ease (MCE): Percent of unassisted births in<br />

Marbling (Marb): Marbling score.<br />

fi rst-calving daughters.<br />

Back Fat (BF or B Fat): Inches of back fat.<br />

Milk (MM): Pounds of weaning weight due <strong>to</strong> milk.<br />

Ribeye Area (REA): Square inches of ribeye.<br />

Maternal Weaning Weight (MWW): Pounds of weaning weight due<br />

<strong>to</strong> milk and growth.<br />

Warner-Bratzler Shear Force (Shear): Pounds of force required<br />

<strong>to</strong> shear a steak.<br />

All-Purpose Index (Api): Dollars per cow exposed under an all-purpose-sire scenario. (See below for more details.)<br />

Terminal Index (Ti): Dollars per cow exposed under a terminal-sire scenario. (See below for more details.)<br />

$ Indexes: Though EPDs allow for the comparison of genetic levels for many economically important traits, then only provide a piece of the economic puzzle.<br />

That’s where $ indexes come in. Through well-conceived, rigorous mathematical computation, $ indexes blend EPDs and economics <strong>to</strong> estimate an animal’s overall<br />

impact on your bot<strong>to</strong>m line. The same technology that led <strong>to</strong> develop the dramatic progress in swine, poultry and dairy genetics over the last several decades was<br />

used <strong>to</strong> develop the following $ indexes:<br />

All-Purpose Index (Api): Evaluates sires for use on the entire cow herd (bred <strong>to</strong> both Angus fi rst-calf heifers and mature cows) with the<br />

portion of daughters required <strong>to</strong> maintain herd size retained and the remaining heifers and steers put on feed and sold grade and yield.<br />

Terminal Index (Ti): Evaluates sire for use on mature Angus cows with all offspring put on feed and sold grade and yield.<br />

Using Api and Ti: First, determine which index <strong>to</strong> use; if you’re keeping replacements use Api, if not, Ti. Then, just as with EPDs, zero in on the unit difference<br />

between bulls. (As described above, index units are in dollars per cow exposed.) The difference can be used <strong>to</strong> determine how much a bull is worth compared <strong>to</strong><br />

another. Or, put another way, how much you can pay for one bull compared <strong>to</strong> another. For example, when buying an all-purpose-type sire, you can quickly fi gure a<br />

bull scoring +100 for Api is worth an extra $6000 over a $50 bull if both are exposed <strong>to</strong> 30 cows over 4 years ($50 diff. x 30 hd. x 4 yr. = $6000.) A percentileranking<br />

chart is required <strong>to</strong> determine where a bull’s index value ranks him relative <strong>to</strong> other bulls in the breed. For percentile rankings or more detailed information<br />

about EPDs and $ Indexes visit www.simmental.org.<br />

EPD PERCENTILES - WHERE DOES AN ANIMAL RANK?<br />

Knowing where an animal’s EPD ranks within the population of any given genetic evaluation is a far more valuable and<br />

accurate prediction of that animals true genetic predicted merit than simply knowing the numeric value of the EPD itself!<br />

First and foremost, before you can rank or even compare animals EPDs, you must be comparing apples <strong>to</strong> apples and that’s why we use the American<br />

Simmental Association’s Multi-Breed Genetic Evaluation. It eliminates the guesswork and necessity of conversion tables and formulas when comparing<br />

breeds or hybrids. The accuracy of the Multi-Breed evaluation is increased greatly when all of an animals ances<strong>to</strong>rs are registered in the A.S.A. herd<br />

book and all of the progeny data from them are processed through the Multi-Breed Genetic Evaluation. This is one of the most signifi cant things that sets<br />

Gibbs Farms apart from almost all other SimAngus seeds<strong>to</strong>ck operations. All of Gibbs Farms registered Angus cows were registered with the A.S.A. as<br />

foundation Angus cows many years ago and all of their progeny data as well as generations of SimAngus progeny data has been processed through<br />

the A.S.A. Multi-Breed Genetic Evaluation. Our young herd sires have been progeny tested for many years through the A.S.A. Carcass Merit Program<br />

along with large numbers of carcass data from our own steers retained through harvest with all data getting processed through the A.S.A. We have<br />

ultrasound scanned our yearling bulls for many years and for the past six years we have also scanned all of our yearling heifers, <strong>to</strong>taling close <strong>to</strong> 400<br />

head each year, in addition <strong>to</strong> carcass data on 50 – 75 steers annually. Data is only as accurate as you make it and at Gibbs Farms we have gone the<br />

extra mile for many generations of genetics <strong>to</strong> insure our cus<strong>to</strong>mers of accurate and meaningful data.<br />

The percentile charts below are from the American Simmental Association 2012 Fall Multi-Breed Genetic Evaluation using the new Simmental/Red Angus<br />

base. Using these charts <strong>to</strong> plot exactly where an animal ranks within the breed is the most accurate way of determining their true genetic merit and is<br />

far more important than the actual numeric value given <strong>to</strong> the EPD. The new ASA/RAAA base that was implemented for the 2012 Fall EPDs does not<br />

change animal rankings.<br />

A NEW LOOK & A NEW TOOL!<br />

The new look . . . will be the changed numerical expressed value of the EPDs due <strong>to</strong> the new combined Simmental and Red Angus base. The numbers<br />

will look different, but the animals will still rank the same within the breed. The following chart compares the average EPDs for Simmental Hybrids<br />

(SimAngus) between the Fall 2012 Genetic Evaluation expressed on the new combined Simmental/Red Angus base and the Spring 2012 Genetic<br />

Evaluation expressed on the old Simmental base.<br />

As you can see a bull that previously had a 52.0 YW EPD now has an 87.0 YW EPD . . . but is still only average.<br />

A bull that previously had a -0.6 BW EPD now has a 1.2 BW EPD . . . and also is still average for the breed.<br />

Obviously, he’s the same bull, so he’s still an average bull when compared on a percentile ranking within the breed.<br />

The next chart uses our very high accuracy herd sire, TNT DUAL FOCUS T249 and compares his Fall 2012 EPDs on the new base <strong>to</strong> his Spring 2012<br />

EPDs on the prior base. He was already very high accuracy for CE, BW, WW, YW, and all carcass EPDs, so additional data turned in had little effect<br />

on those traits and as you can see, his percentile rank is almost exactly the same using the new base as it was on the old base. His large change in<br />

percentile rank for his maternal traits was not due <strong>to</strong> any effect of the new base, but was the impact of a large amount of new daughter data turned in<br />

prior <strong>to</strong> the fall genetic evaluation.<br />

SimAngus Bulls<br />

Finale sons . . . have earned the lead off position of our<br />

2012 sale catalog. We have been ask the question hundreds<br />

of times over the past year or so, “what herd sire is coming<br />

along <strong>to</strong> take Rookie’s place?” It will take a tremendous bull<br />

<strong>to</strong> fi ll the void of Rookie and we do not have enough years<br />

of data or daughters in production on Finale <strong>to</strong> confi rm that<br />

he is the bull, however at this time he sure looks promising<br />

enough <strong>to</strong> earn the lead off sire group of sons in this year’s<br />

sale catalog. Much of his data in the American Simmental<br />

Association genetic evaluation has come from the Carcass<br />

Merit Program herds where his fi rst calves were born in the<br />

spring of 2011. Additional data has been added from a few<br />

other herds that sampled him as a yearling bull, but his big<br />

inclusion of data will come in the next two genetic evaluations.<br />

At this point in time, we feel comfortable that he has proven<br />

CE and <strong>to</strong>p 15% BE EPDs and will easily have performance in the<br />

most cases. In comparing him in our herd <strong>to</strong> his maternal brother,<br />

Dual Focus, he will consistently have slightly lower birth weight,<br />

more performance, a little more robust look, and accomplish it all<br />

in a package with no more frame size than Dual Focus. He can be<br />

best described as a sire of low birth weight and extra performance<br />

power in a smaller frame size package. Finale will be a heavily<br />

expecting a large sire group of his sons in our 2014 <strong>Sale</strong>.<br />

Finale earns the lead off sire group for this year’s sale and no cow family has earned the lead off bull position better than the Mabelle cow family. This is the same cow family that produced<br />

Black Joker, one of the most infl uential sires of the Simmental breed over the past two decades and whose daughters are dominating the breed <strong>to</strong>day as high producing cows. We currently<br />

have over 40 females in our herd carrying the Mabelle cow family name and the granddam of Lot 1, Mabelle N341, has emerged as one of the best. Watch for her name throughout this<br />

year’s sale offering and you will see the evidence of her potent genetic value <strong>to</strong> our herd. Lot 1 is slightly below breed average for BW EPD, yet ranks in the <strong>to</strong>p 15% of the breed for YW<br />

EPD. He had a great carcass ultrasound scan that helped move him in<strong>to</strong> the <strong>to</strong>p 10% of the breed for both Marb and REA EPDs. His pedigree and individual performance rank him in the<br />

elite young sires we are offering this year, but that’s not all he has <strong>to</strong> offer. When you evaluate him in person, you will be just as impressed with what you see as what you read on this great<br />

young herd sire. He is Lot 1 in the 2012 Gibbs Farms <strong>Sale</strong> for a reason.<br />

This Finale son is also a product of the Mabelle cow family, but from a daughter of our Mabelle M275 cow who is a bigger frame, more powerhouse cow that generally passes those<br />

attributes along <strong>to</strong> her ancesters. Lot 2 lives up <strong>to</strong> those predictions as he is a little bigger frame, a little more birth weight, and loaded with performance power as well as very high carcass<br />

potential. Since we are just beginning <strong>to</strong> learn the new look <strong>to</strong> the ASA EPDs after the Fall 2012 base change, his 2.3 BW EPD may seem high compared <strong>to</strong> the EPD base of the past, but<br />

he is only about one lb. above breed average, so he is not really a high birth weight bull, just a little above average and loaded with performance power and that same huge middle and<br />

look of his slightly smaller frame brothers.<br />

Never got a pho<strong>to</strong> of this Finale son, but he sure does not need <strong>to</strong> be overlooked. His lower performance is only because he is smaller frame, more refi ned, and defi nitely has the calving<br />

ease “heifer bull” look. He combines great calving ease, low birth weight, high predicted maternal calving ease and milk, along with a REA EPD in the <strong>to</strong>p 4% of the breed. There’s a lot of<br />

genetics in his smaller package as is indicated with his <strong>to</strong>p 15% ranking API.<br />

The overall EPD and index package of Lot 8 is impressive, but would have been even more so if he had been compared in the contemporary group with his peers. He is a twin, so was<br />

not included in any genetic comparison, therefore his really high carcass scan did not infl uence his EPDs. If he had been compared, his %IMF and REA ratios would have been extremely<br />

high and would have taken his carcass EPDs much higher. Lot 8 is also a smaller frame bull that is an absolute tank offering low birth weight, high performance, and out the roof carcass<br />

genetics.<br />

WOW! What a low birth, high marbling package this bull offers along with a great look. His pho<strong>to</strong> was taken in Sept when the grass was over knee deep, but you can still see his great look,<br />

however you can’t see the most impressive thing he offers, his ultrasound scan. He is one of the <strong>to</strong>p %IMF bulls in the whole sale offering giving him a <strong>to</strong>p 1% rank within the breed for<br />

Marb EPD and both index values as well as BW EPD in the <strong>to</strong>p 10% of the breed. If you need a bull <strong>to</strong> use on heifers that can add volume and keeping ability <strong>to</strong> your replacement heifers<br />

and high carcass value <strong>to</strong> your steers, Lot 9 has a stacked pedigree for low birth weight and high marbling for two generations deep, then goes back <strong>to</strong> a granddam that is currently in our<br />

embryo donor program after producing our herd sire, Stretch, and War Eagle, the high selling SimAngus bull in our sale last year. Lot 9 offers “cow family” strength and predictability back<br />

through his pedigree in any direction you search it.<br />

SimAngus Bulls<br />

Dual Focus sons . . . will be our second largest sire group of bulls offered this year and he is sure no stranger as he has ranked in the <strong>to</strong>p 10 most<br />

used bulls in the breed for the past two years, as high as the #5 sire in registrations at one point last year and the most used SimAngus bull in the breed<br />

for the past two year period. He and Finale share the same dam as well as many other characteristics including their common use in heifer breeding<br />

programs and reduced frame size. Dual Focus currently ranks in the <strong>to</strong>p 4% of the breed for CE, <strong>to</strong>p 20% for BW, <strong>to</strong>p 25% for WW, <strong>to</strong>p 20% for YW,<br />

<strong>to</strong>p 25% for MCE, <strong>to</strong>p 20% for MM, <strong>to</strong>p 10% for MCE, <strong>to</strong>p 10% for Marb, and <strong>to</strong>p 4% for both API and TI. It is no mystery why he has been the most<br />

heavily used SimAngus sire in the industry for the past two years and will continue <strong>to</strong> be used heavily well in<strong>to</strong> the future. Based on what we are seeing<br />

in our herd, his best trait will likely be his easy keeping daughters who have great udder and teat quality along with excellent milk production. It is not<br />

uncommon <strong>to</strong> see a Dual Focus daughter in the pasture with a weaning age bull calf nursing that appears <strong>to</strong> be as big as his dam.<br />

It is not common for us <strong>to</strong> start off a sire group with a bull that does not have a pho<strong>to</strong>, but this bull deserves <strong>to</strong> lead the sire group. Unlike many operations, our bulls do not come <strong>to</strong> the<br />

barn for clipping, cleaning, and picture taking. They are bred and developed for a job and that job description does not include a haircut and bath. When we have available time, we ride<br />

through the large bull development pastures and try <strong>to</strong> get a few snapshots of sale bulls. We never know who we will or will not fi nd available for pho<strong>to</strong>s. Right, wrong, or indifferent, that’s<br />

just the way we do it at Gibbs Farms. The pedigree cross of Dual Focus and Rookie has worked great for us as evidenced by the three leadoff Dual Focus sons in this year’s sale. Lot 13<br />

has one of the best %IMF ultrasound scans of all the bulls in the sale and a Marb EPD that ranks in the <strong>to</strong>p 3% of the breed, combined with low birth and great performance genetics gives<br />

him and API tanked in the <strong>to</strong>p 10% and TI ranked in the <strong>to</strong>p 2% of the breed. There’s a lot of bull here and we are not referring <strong>to</strong> the footnote.<br />

Here’s another Dual Focus that exhibits a lot of his dam’s side of the pedigree. The Hotline N361 cow family is known for power and high carcass value, but a little extra birth weight<br />

comes with it. Dual Focus brings the birth genetics down and makes this bull very acceptable for use on cows where you want some extra power without excessive birth weight. He’s not<br />

a heifer bull, but not a concern at all on cows. The YW EPD ranking in the <strong>to</strong>p 2% and REA ranking in the <strong>to</strong>p 3% of the breed makes him a great candidate for the producer who retains<br />

ownership in his calves.<br />

This bull had an injury <strong>to</strong> his left rear leg as a calf and the reason we did not include him in his correct contemporary group for performance data processing. You will see a scar, but he<br />

has been fully healed since prior <strong>to</strong> weaning and feel very comfortable there will never be any problem associated with it. He is bred very similar <strong>to</strong> Lot 24.<br />

With the new ASA/RAAA EPD base, the 2.8 BW EPD looks big, but remember that this same bull would have been 1.0 using the old base, so he is not really a heavy BW bull at all for<br />

use on cows and a bull with this much power would only be considered for use on cows anyway. He tallied up extremely high individual ratios across the board for all performance and<br />

ultrasound scan data giving him a YW EPD ranking just barely shy of the <strong>to</strong>p 1% of the breed, a MM and Marb EPDs ranking in the <strong>to</strong>p 15%, and a Terminal Index (TI) ranking in the <strong>to</strong>p<br />

4%. This Dual Focus son would be a great choice for a producer who retains ownership in his steer calves and also wants <strong>to</strong> retain heifers as replacements. He has the rare combination<br />

of high terminal genetic traits along with high maternal. Also, he and Lot 27 are out of embryo full sisters sired by Lucky Man out of our Jauer 301 donor cow, making them full sisters <strong>to</strong><br />

Gibbs 9333W HY Hawkeye now owned by HRM Simmental in Iowa. He was one of the 16 sons out of the Jauer 301 donor cow that sold in our sale two years ago.<br />

This is the last of the Touchdown sons and he is not at all like his ½ brothers. As mentioned on a bull earlier in the sale catalog, the Hotline N361 cow family adds a lot of performance and<br />

carcass power along with a little more birth weight genetics. This bull lives up <strong>to</strong> that prediction as he has a little more frame size than normal for a Touchdown, much more performance,<br />

and he scanned a huge ribeye, giving him a REA EPD ranking in the <strong>to</strong>p 2% of the breed along with a YW EPD in the <strong>to</strong>p 10%. The combination of Touchdown and Final Answer along<br />

with the Hotline N361 cow family will still deliver extremely high maternal genetics, simply in a little more powerful package.


SimAngus Bulls<br />

Black Legion sons . . . will offer smaller frame size along with low birth weight genetics. Black Legion is a very old, highly proven calving ease<br />

bull at ABS Global that still sells a lot of semen in<strong>to</strong> commercial heifer breeding projects because of his very predictable low birth weight and calving<br />

ease, his daughters make great cows, and his steer calves grade and yield great. He is a perfect combination for commercial breeders <strong>to</strong> use on heifer.<br />

This Black Legion son sure has the calving ease, heifer bull look <strong>to</strong> him, but he does get a shot of birth weight and performance from his dam’s side of the pedigree, so we will call him a<br />

bull for cows where you need reduced frame size and added muscle. He scanned a huge ribeye and ranks in the <strong>to</strong>p 1% of the breed for REA and YG EPDs. He is a great choice for a<br />

commercial breeder with larger frame Angus cows wanting <strong>to</strong> retain ownership in his calves through the feedlot.<br />

Slugger sons . . . will offer proven low birth weight genetics in a new,<br />

young sire along with the prediction of excellent carcass and extremely<br />

high maternal genetics. When we purchased Slugger from Triangle J<br />

Ranch three years ago, he was immediately leased by ABS Global and<br />

went straight in<strong>to</strong> semen collection. He made semen immediately, allowing<br />

fairly good use of him as a yearling and was tested through the American<br />

Simmental Association Carcass Merit Program. We purchased him<br />

assuming he would be a high growth sire, but that’s why progeny testing<br />

is so valuable. Two years of data and the new ASA DNA 50K genomic Lot 39 (Sept pho<strong>to</strong>)<br />

data has proven that Slugger is a very low birth, high calving ease sire that<br />

can be very safely used on heifers. The DNA 50K genomic data also further predicted his extreme high<br />

maternal and excellent carcass genetic potential and he now ranks in the <strong>to</strong>p 2% of the breed for BW EPD,<br />

<strong>to</strong>p 1% for MM EPD, and still ranks in the <strong>to</strong>p 1/3 of the breed for growth traits. His index values now stand<br />

at a <strong>to</strong>p 5% for API and <strong>to</strong>p 4% for TI. Slugger has now established himself as one of the main use sires on<br />

heifers at Gibbs Farms and is now gaining confi dence as a sire for commercial heifer projects as refl ected<br />

by his increased semen sales at ABS Global this past spring.<br />

This very low birth weight Slugger son is as quiet as a puppy, never handled outside the pasture himself, but his dam was one of the Gibbs grandkids show heifers, so we guess the fact<br />

that she was a pet wore off on him. His dam has weaned four calves with a 102 weaning ratio. This bull will be an ideal pick for the small breeder with sort of a backyard operation and<br />

wants an extremely quiet bull.<br />

Crossover sons . . . are going <strong>to</strong> prove <strong>to</strong> be a very rare and valuable commodity. He has a very interesting his<strong>to</strong>ry that unfortunately ends in tragedy.<br />

We purchased him as a yearling through the Kappes Simmental <strong>Sale</strong> in South Dakota as what we still <strong>to</strong>day feel is the best homozygous black and<br />

polled son we have ever seen out of the very popular GW Predestined 701T. We used him on heifers as a yearling, then leased him <strong>to</strong> ABS Global and<br />

transported him <strong>to</strong> ORIgen for semen collection. Here’s where the bad news begins. He was producing great semen but it was reacting <strong>to</strong> the freezing<br />

medium and would not successfully survive the freeze and thaw process, making him one of only four bulls that ORIgen had ever collected with this<br />

problem. The good news was that two of the other three bulls had returned later and had successfully frozen semen, so we brought him home and used<br />

him another year on heifers. He bred great in natural service and just before we were ready <strong>to</strong> pull him from the pasture and take him back <strong>to</strong> collection,<br />

Doug fi nds him with a huge swollen scrotum. He gets a fast ride <strong>to</strong> Dr. Wilson’s offi ce <strong>to</strong> get the fi nal bad news of his life. One testicle had been completely<br />

crushed and there was far <strong>to</strong>o much trauma for any hopes of a recovery. We have another<br />

calf crop on the ground this fall and just a tiny amount of very marginal quality semen<br />

s<strong>to</strong>red. There is no his<strong>to</strong>ry that the reaction <strong>to</strong> the semen freezing medium is genetic and<br />

we have been assured that his fresh semen was excellent quality, so there is no genetic<br />

fertility issue with his sons. We have sent in hair samples requesting the new DNA 50K<br />

genomic test on several of these Crossover sons and will make that information available<br />

as soon as the results are back. We plan <strong>to</strong> leave all of them in the sale, but will very likely<br />

invite the opportunity <strong>to</strong> partner one if the buyer agrees and the fall possession would be<br />

available <strong>to</strong> us. As you can see in our herd sire section in the front of the sale catalog,<br />

Crossover’s limited progeny data and DNA 50K genomic information have placed him in<br />

a very elite category of young sires ranking far off the percentile chart in the very extreme<br />

<strong>to</strong>p 1% of the breed for both API and TI, a rare combination that is not equaled by any<br />

other SimAngus bull in the American Simmental Association genetic evaluation.<br />

Best Bet and Megabyte sons . . . both of these herd sires are products of the Gibbs Farms breeding<br />

program and were retained years ago as a couple of the best yearling bulls we raised that year. Both<br />

have been used every year as clean-up sires in our program and both were sold <strong>to</strong> commercial breeders<br />

this past year. The sons of these two herd sires have done well for us and have been well received by<br />

our commercial bull cus<strong>to</strong>mers. The ones selling this year will prove the same.<br />

Schaff 5556 and Cy Young sons . . . these two Angus herd sires have been<br />

owned by Gibbs Farms since yearlings and have contributed greatly <strong>to</strong> our program,<br />

both through outstanding sons each year and daughters returned <strong>to</strong> our herd as<br />

replacements. The Schaff 5556 bull was selected from Schaff Angus in North Dakota<br />

after extensive evaluation of their cow families. His dam is also the granddam of the<br />

very popular Select Sires bull, SAV Mustang, and this cow family has established as<br />

one of the <strong>to</strong>p cow families in the SAV program. The AAA EPD profi le of Schaff 5556<br />

will stand side-by-side with the best of the SAV bulls in the bull studs. Cy Young has<br />

served as one of our clean-up sires on heifers<br />

and is known for his outstanding profi le and<br />

the great looking daughters he has returned <strong>to</strong><br />

our herd. The three sons selling this year, all out<br />

of Stetson fi rst calf heifers, will impress anyone.<br />

Yes, they are simply private owned herd sires<br />

and not big name A.I. sires, but they prove<br />

our highly promote mot<strong>to</strong> on our Gibbs Farms<br />

website, “We take our herd sire selection very<br />

seriously and we feel each of you should <strong>to</strong>o!”<br />

It will be easy <strong>to</strong> fi nd Lot 54 on sale day, simply look for where there is a crowd gathered, they will all be looking at him. He is a little younger than we normally put in the sale, but he is<br />

absolutely <strong>to</strong>o good not <strong>to</strong> include in this year’s sale offering. He will sure be borderline on age for the semen evaluation, but we are going <strong>to</strong> give him a chance in hopes he passes and<br />

allows everyone a chance <strong>to</strong> own him. Keep in mind that he is almost two months younger than many of the other bulls selling and should either be given a small group <strong>to</strong> breed or hold<br />

him for a January or later breeding season. His dam is a ¾ blood Simmental cow that has weaned fi ve calves with a 103 weaning ratio and this bull would make an excellent choice for a<br />

herd wanting <strong>to</strong> retain replacement heifers.<br />

The fi rst of three Cy Young sons out of Stetson fi rst calf heifers is also a blaze-face bull and will most likely be in the same grass display lot with Lot 54 on sale day. Stacking the pedigree of Cy<br />

Young and Stetson makes a very predictable low birth, calving ease genetic package with “out the roof” maternal value. These three bulls will make excellent herd sires for retaining daughters.<br />

Lot 60 gets a big picture because he is absolutely a big<br />

picture bull. There is no question that he is one of if not the<br />

standout genetic package in this year’s sale and he has the<br />

look <strong>to</strong> go with it. His individual performace and ultrasound<br />

scan ratios are as<strong>to</strong>unding and his dam as well as the whole<br />

group of four fl ush sisters by Stetson out of the Mabelle<br />

N341 cow will impress anyone. A CE EPD ranking in the<br />

<strong>to</strong>p 10% and BW EPD in the <strong>to</strong>p 30% of the breed for a bull<br />

with a 122.0 YW EPD is pretty amazing. Combine that with<br />

a MM EPD in the <strong>to</strong>p 2%, MARB EPD in the <strong>to</strong>p 10%, and<br />

REA EPD in the <strong>to</strong>p 2% and there is no surprise he has an<br />

API ranking in the <strong>to</strong>p 5% and TI ranking in the <strong>to</strong>p 1% of<br />

the breed. Another thing making him so interesting is the<br />

stacking of two absolutely great cow families from both the<br />

Angus and Simmental breeds using some fresh new sire’s<br />

that offer the ability <strong>to</strong> use this bull so universally in almost<br />

everyone’s SimAngus breeding program. We are having<br />

the DNA 50K test performed on this bull and will make the<br />

genomic enhanced EPDs available on our website as soon<br />

as available. We are not going <strong>to</strong> retain any possession in<br />

this bull, allowing our cus<strong>to</strong>mers a chance <strong>to</strong> own 100%<br />

possession and 2/3 semen interest, but he is defi nitely a bull<br />

we would be interested in sharing possession ownership if<br />

the new owner does not need the fall breeding possession.<br />

Lot 60 (Sept pho<strong>to</strong>)


SimAngus Bulls<br />

Stetson sons . . . this herd sire is defi nitely the most<br />

underused herd sire we own partially due <strong>to</strong> sort of standing<br />

in the shadows of the great Sure Bet and also the fact that<br />

most of our cow herd is SimAngus and we did not have that<br />

many cows getting mated <strong>to</strong> Simmental bulls. Now that we<br />

have Stetson daughters in production, we have realized our<br />

huge mistake in not fi nding a way <strong>to</strong> use him heavier, so be<br />

expecting a lot of his sons in future sales, both SimAngus<br />

and Simmental. In the ASA Carcass Merit Program and<br />

Heifer Calving Project, Stetson proved <strong>to</strong> be as reliable for<br />

calving ease on commercial heifers as the proven calving<br />

This is the third of four Stetson sons out of Missing Link three-year-old cows and all are thick, big middle, tanks and are very sound structured. We have a large number of OCC and Jauer<br />

bred Angus cows and the cross with Stetson impressed us so much this year that you can rest assured you will see more of these coming in the future. The Lot 63 bull is very similar <strong>to</strong><br />

the Lots 61 and 62, low birth weight, very good performance, and great carcass. This is a very usable, high economic value set of ¾ brothers.<br />

Gibbs Farms 7th Annual Bull & Replacement Heifer <strong>Sale</strong> 32


Sure Bet sons . . . the Sure Bet sons need very little introduction as his sons and daughters have been in high demand in our sale for the past several<br />

years and he currently is one of the <strong>to</strong>p bulls in registrations in the Simmental breed. He ranks in the <strong>to</strong>p 10% of the Simmental breed for BW EPD and<br />

is very commonly used <strong>to</strong> breed heifers. He only ranks slightly above breed average for YW EPD, but you would never guess after seeing the muscle<br />

and power he puts in his ½ blood SimAngus sons. With a lot of daughter data, he now ranks above breed average for MM EPD and in the <strong>to</strong>p 4%<br />

of the breed for Stayability EPD. All of these genetic attributes are good, but they are not his greatest genetic contribution <strong>to</strong> the industry. Sure Bet is<br />

hands down the most impressive overall carcass value Simmental bull in the industry with high accuracy and acceptable low birth weight genetics. He<br />

ranks in the <strong>to</strong>p 10% of the breed for YG, <strong>to</strong>p 1% for Marb, and <strong>to</strong>p 1% for REA EPDs. Go fi nd an equal <strong>to</strong> that with a low BW EPD <strong>to</strong> go with it. Both<br />

his economic index values are off the chart above the <strong>to</strong>p 1% of the breed. If you own commercial Angus cows and have the ability <strong>to</strong> breed those<br />

cows A.I., you need <strong>to</strong> breed them all <strong>to</strong> Sure Bet, retain the ½<br />

blood daughters as replacements and retain ownership in the<br />

steer calves through the feedlot. Sure Bet mated <strong>to</strong> commercial<br />

Angus cows may be the single most profi table investment a<br />

commercial producer can make all year. With the as<strong>to</strong>unding<br />

industry wide acceptance Sure Bet has witnessed this past<br />

year, it is only fi tting that two of his sons be selected as our two<br />

Sunbelt Ag Expo display bulls for this year and boy do we have<br />

a powerful pair on his sons headed <strong>to</strong> Moultrie for display.<br />

group and his BW EPD is average for the breed, yet he continued on <strong>to</strong> defy all expectations for performance and ultrasound scan. He is absolutely a genetic freak and so pleasing <strong>to</strong> the<br />

eye. This bull deserves <strong>to</strong> be <strong>view</strong>ed by everyone . . . come see us in Moultrie, GA at the Sunbelt Expo.<br />

Almost looking like a clone <strong>to</strong> Lot 71, this Sure Bet son does have a little more birth weight, but should be fi ne for all uses on mature cows. He has even higher growth and marbling EPDs<br />

than Lot 71 and even with a little heavier BW EPD, he still ranks in the <strong>to</strong>p 20% of the breed for API and blows off the chart for TI. Coming from our high performance Daisy cow family, his<br />

dam has weaned seven calves with a whopping average weaning ratio of 113 and his granddam has weaned nine calves with a 107 weaning ratio, so he is not the fi rst great one produced<br />

by this cow family. We hope you have the opportunity <strong>to</strong> visit the Sunbelt Ag Expo this year in Moultrie and we look forward <strong>to</strong> your visit in the lives<strong>to</strong>ck pavilion . . . come see us!

Also coming from the Daisy cow family, this Sure Bet son is one of the highest %IMF scanning bulls in the sale and ranks in the <strong>to</strong>p 1% of the breed for both Marb and REA EPDs, something<br />

rarely achieved by any bull. Even if you sell all your steer calves at weaning, being able <strong>to</strong> tell prospective buyers they are sired by a SimAngus bull that ranks in the <strong>to</strong>p 1% of the breed<br />

for both Marb and REA will make a difference in what you get paid. Don’t think for a second that feedlot calf procurement managers don’t understand genetics. They are as sharp on cattle<br />

genetics as anyone in the industry and they know what genetics will make them the most money. No one has more data and more knowledge of which cattle are profi table than feedlots.<br />

up nothing in muscle and over all capacity.<br />

and produced our second high selling SimAngus bull last year going <strong>to</strong> Hill & Hill<br />

with plenty capacity, but sort of refi ned in their muscle and bone, looking more<br />

like calving ease, high maternal prospects rather than high performance. This cross<br />

In our opinion, this Upgrade son is the most impressive of the 10 Jauer 301 sons. He is so massive middle and so heavy muscle, he literally looks like a hog, but granted a very attractive<br />

fronted hog. His REA EPD ranking in the <strong>to</strong>p 1% of the breed agrees with the fact that he is extremely heavy muscle. The look of this bull is going <strong>to</strong> get a lot of attention.<br />

Gibbs Farms 7th Annual Bull & Replacement Heifer <strong>Sale</strong> 38


Broadband sons . . . have proven <strong>to</strong> be very popular in our last two sales and the<br />

quality of the four sons selling this year will prove <strong>to</strong> be the same. He has proven <strong>to</strong><br />

produce a lot of performance and huge ribeyes in very moderate frame size individuals,<br />

but his greatest contribution <strong>to</strong> our program have been his daughters. We had already<br />

sold Broadband <strong>to</strong> the Grogan family in Georgia two years ago, just prior <strong>to</strong> learning<br />

how good his daughters were and letting him leave our herd sire battery is a decision<br />

we have questioned many times. He currently ranks in the <strong>to</strong>p 4% of the breed for YW<br />

EPD, <strong>to</strong>p 15% for MM EPD, <strong>to</strong>p 10% for Marb EPD, <strong>to</strong>p 15% for API, and <strong>to</strong>p 105 for TI.<br />

Serious breeders need <strong>to</strong> pay attention on this Broadband son. He is a massive tank with a super look <strong>to</strong> him. The pho<strong>to</strong> in the sale catalog was taken in July and he has defi nitely changed<br />

from a boy <strong>to</strong> a man since that pho<strong>to</strong> was taken. He defi nitely has <strong>to</strong>o much power and birth weight <strong>to</strong> consider for use on heifers, but would work very safely on a group of mature cows.<br />

He is literally off the percentile charts in the elite 1% of the breed for YW and REA EPDs and in the <strong>to</strong>p 4% for Terminal Index (TI). He is not the fi rst performance bell ringer for his dam as<br />

she has weaned 3 calves with an average weaning ratio of 112. This bull is getting a serious dose of maternal genetics from his sire and dam. He needs <strong>to</strong> go with someone’s <strong>to</strong>p producing<br />

group of cows and retain all the heifers for replacements.<br />

All the comments made about Lot 98 can be said again on this Broadband son. Just look at the two side by side as well as on paper, it’s like they came from the same mold. The dam of<br />

a dam that has weaned three calves with a 105 weaning ratio.


SimAngus Bulls<br />

Diesel sons . . . are going <strong>to</strong> be the most powerful performance group of bulls ever sold at Gibbs Farms and after fi ve years of marketing large groups<br />

of Rookie sons, we never thought a sire would come along that could literally blow away Rookie on performance, but it has happened. With enough<br />

progeny data from multiple herds <strong>to</strong> make his accuracy very reliable, Diesel has a WW EPD that would rank in the <strong>to</strong>p 3% of the breed for<br />

YW. Make sure you carefully read that statement. That’s just almost impossible <strong>to</strong> conceive, but he is for real and comes in with a YW EPD of 199.1, not<br />

equaled by any other SimAngus bull in the American Simmental Association genetic evaluation. As a matter of fact, until preparing this footnote, there<br />

is a piece of data we were not aware of. The next closest YW EPD SimAngus bull <strong>to</strong> Diesel is our very own herd sire, Xtreme, owned with R.A. Brown<br />

Ranch in Texas, coming in at 155.0. A data search revealed that only 9 SimAngus bulls have YW EPDs above 150 and all 9 are either bred by Gibbs<br />

Farms or sired by Gibbs Farms herd sires.<br />

Now, before we get <strong>to</strong>o carried away with all this performance, we want our cus<strong>to</strong>mers <strong>to</strong> take the Diesel sons seriously for what they really are,<br />

powerhouse growth bulls. Along with the powerful performance comes three directly correlated growth traits, birth weight, weaning weight, and yearling<br />

weight. As one goes up, normally they all go up and Diesel is no exception, he has some added birth weight. We have one group of cus<strong>to</strong>mers that<br />

need <strong>to</strong> focus on the Diesel sons and that’s our commercial cus<strong>to</strong>mers <strong>to</strong> the far south who have some Brahman (ear) blood in their cows and can safely<br />

use high birth weight bulls with no danger at all.<br />

Now again, before we get <strong>to</strong>o carried away, the above warning is just for the extreme BW EPD Diesel sons in the 5 and 6 BW EPD range. There are six<br />

Diesel sons ranging from 2.2 <strong>to</strong> 4.3 BW EPD and should be acceptable on any mature cows, but please reserve the extreme BW, real powerhouse bulls<br />

for cows with some Brahman infl uence. Many of you may be asking why we retained any of these extreme performance Diesel sons and the answer<br />

is, we have had numerous request from cus<strong>to</strong>mers in the deep south for some really high growth SimAngus bulls, so here they are. We have probably<br />

done a major “over-kill” with this disclosure warning and most of these Diesel sons would probably work just fi ne on mature cows, but we just want <strong>to</strong><br />

practice the old rule, “better safe than sorry.” We would like <strong>to</strong> note that every one of the Diesel calves were born unassisted last year and most were<br />

out of three-year-old SimAngus cows.<br />

ago and dam <strong>to</strong> the Lot 2 Rookie son that sold last year. We fl ushed R820 last year <strong>to</strong> Graduate and recovered 51 excellent quality embryos. We were able <strong>to</strong> get 32 of those put in<strong>to</strong><br />

recipients, so we have a huge set of calves out of her this fall sired by Graduate. This Diesel son was our second heaviest adjusted weaning weight at 927 lbs.<br />

Power-Pax sons . . . will offer the largest genetic<br />

shot of REA and YG improvement of all our sire groups.<br />

When he was tested through the American Simmental<br />

Association Carcass Merit Program, he emerged as<br />

one of the highest YG and REA bulls <strong>to</strong> ever go through<br />

the program. As an individual, he is probably the most<br />

impressive herd sire standing in our herd sire lots. He<br />

is a little above breed average for birth weight and<br />

only ranks in the <strong>to</strong>p 30% of the breed for YW EPD,<br />

mainly due <strong>to</strong> their more moderate frame size and early<br />

maturity. His huge genetic contribution is his <strong>to</strong>p 2%<br />

ranking for YG and off the chart ranking for REA EPD at<br />

a 1.21. For herds needing <strong>to</strong> add muscle and improved<br />

YG <strong>to</strong> their calves should look hard at his sons.<br />

SIMMENTAL BULLS . . . LOTS 125 – 144<br />

45 Gibbs Farms 7th Annual Bull & Replacement Heifer <strong>Sale</strong><br />

Simmental Bulls<br />

We have 16 Purebred Simmental and 4 ¾ blood Simmental bulls in the sale offering this year and plan <strong>to</strong> continue growing the number of Simmental bulls<br />

each year <strong>to</strong> approximately 30 – 35 bulls in the future or more if our cus<strong>to</strong>mer demand shows the need. It was a slow process increasing our Simmental<br />

numbers because the Gibbs breeding program was primarily a SimAngus program prior <strong>to</strong> purchasing the entire Optimal Beef Genetics herd in 2005<br />

and the genetic nucleus of the OBG Simmental herd was purchased <strong>to</strong> use in building new SimAngus cow families in the Gibbs program. After fi ve years<br />

of mating the OBG Simmental cows <strong>to</strong> Angus bulls, the decision was made <strong>to</strong> take their matings back <strong>to</strong> Simmental and build a young herd of Purebred<br />

Simmental from those original cows before they all retired on us. We are gradually working on that process, keeping larger numbers of Simmental heifers<br />

each year as replacements and will have pretty much replaced the old OBG nucleus cows with a new generation of Gibbs bred Simmental cows in two<br />

more years. Most of the old OBG Simmental cows are actually still here at the farm and in active production, but have been nick-named “the wheel chair<br />

gang” because of their age. It says a lot for their productive longevity when you see those old 10 – 15 year-old Simmental cows with new babies at side<br />

each year, still doing a great job raising a calf and breeding back on time as they graze Alabama and Georgia KY-31 Fescue and common Bermuda<br />

pastures just like any other commercial cow herd in the area.<br />

As we build our younger generation Simmental herd, we are attempting <strong>to</strong> introduce at least one new sire each year and use him in signifi cant numbers<br />

so as <strong>to</strong> bring some new bloodlines in<strong>to</strong> the program. Last year, we used Upgrade heavily and this year we chose a white-face bull named Long’s Shear<br />

Pleasure. Shear Pleasure was on display in the yards at the National Western S<strong>to</strong>ck Show three years ago and was quite impressive as an individual and<br />

genetically on paper. He offered very new genetics <strong>to</strong> our Simmental program, great carcass potential, reduced frame size with massive muscle and rib<br />

capacity, and the distinct white-face that so many of our commercial producers are requesting. We contracted a one year natural possession lease and<br />

actually had Shear Pleasure at the farm breeding naturally for that one breeding season, plus used him A.I. on some mating’s as well as one embryo fl ush<br />

<strong>to</strong> an outstanding young Sure Bet cow that was also white-face. Shear Pleasure may produce white on the rear feet and underline <strong>to</strong>o frequently <strong>to</strong> please<br />

most Purebred Simmental breeders, but we feel our commercial producers are going <strong>to</strong> love them. Even with some extra ”chrome” as many refer <strong>to</strong>, mated<br />

<strong>to</strong> solid black SimAngus or Angus cows, the extra white is needed if you want any consistency in getting the desired blaze-face on the calves. We feel<br />

Shear Pleasure made a signifi cantly positive contribution <strong>to</strong> our program, but the fi nal judge will be our cus<strong>to</strong>mers.<br />

Shear Pleasure sons . . . brings new blood <strong>to</strong> our Simmental breeding program. He is actually a ¾ blood Simmental sired by Hooks Shear Force<br />

and on the dam’s side of his pedigree he goes back two generations <strong>to</strong> ½ blood SimAngus cows carrying the Angus genetics of Vermilion Dateline<br />

and RP 3RD Bushwacker, then back <strong>to</strong> a Simmental cow sired by Bold Future. Mating him <strong>to</strong> Purebred Simmental cows results in a Purebred Simmental<br />

calf that defi nitely has an intriguing twist for a herd that is predominantly SimAngus anyway. The current EPDs on Shear Pleasure places him well below<br />

breed average for BW with a <strong>to</strong>p 30% ranking, WW ranking in the <strong>to</strong>p 2%, YW ranking in the <strong>to</strong>p 3%, MM in the <strong>to</strong>p 5%, Marb in the <strong>to</strong>p 3%, REA<br />

in the <strong>to</strong>p 2%, API in the <strong>to</strong>p 10% , and TI in the <strong>to</strong>p 1% of the Simmental breed. He consistently reduced frame size without taking away performance<br />

due <strong>to</strong> the massive muscle and huge rib capacity of his progeny. His combination of high marbling and ribeye genetics is a great contribution <strong>to</strong> a<br />

Purebred Simmental breeding program.<br />

that earned her distinction as a donor the right way, through tremendous production. For us, she is young for a donor cow, but she had raised 3 calves<br />

with an average weaning ratio of 113, but most importantly, they were all really good. Through her individual data and her progeny data, she has<br />

attained EPDs ranking in the <strong>to</strong>p 2% of the Simmental breed for YW EPD, <strong>to</strong>p 35% for Marb EPD, and <strong>to</strong>p 1% for REA EPD. We felt combining the high<br />

performance, high carcass value, and the white face of these two individuals would yield an interesting product.

Yes, he is as heavy muscle and massive as the pho<strong>to</strong> portrays<br />

him, extremely long bodied and very attractive fronted. There is<br />

no hidden white in the grass on him, you see all of his white in the<br />

pho<strong>to</strong>, none on the legs at all. When we fi rst saw his new EPDs, we<br />

cringed at the 3.0 BW EPD, then realized that on the new base, he<br />

is only 0.4 lb. above breed average as 2.6 is now the average with<br />

the new ASA/RAAA combined base. We have <strong>to</strong> understand, the<br />

new base does not add or take away genetics, it simply assigned a<br />

new base or zero starting point, making the numerical value of the<br />

EPDs appear different. The animals genetic value has not changed<br />

and their ranking within the breed has not changed. He ranks in the<br />

<strong>to</strong>p 3% of the breed for YW EPD, <strong>to</strong>p 10% for MM EPD, <strong>to</strong>p 20%<br />

for YG EPD, <strong>to</strong>p 1% for Marb EPD, and <strong>to</strong>p 1% for REA EPD. His<br />

high performance and carcass value take his Terminal Index (TI)<br />

<strong>to</strong>tally off the percentile chart in<strong>to</strong> the extreme <strong>to</strong>p 1% of the breed<br />

and he still ranks in the <strong>to</strong>p 20% for API. He is not a heifer bull by<br />

no means, but at breed average BW EPD along with performance<br />

and carcass genetics of this magnitude, there are hundreds of<br />

thousands of commercial Angus cows out there needing <strong>to</strong> be bred<br />

<strong>to</strong> this bull. Can you imagine how a pen of blaze-face steers in the<br />

feedlot would perform sired by him out of a good herd of Angus<br />

cows? Can you imagine how good those blaze-face SimAngus<br />

heifer mates will be when they udder up and calve as two-yearolds?<br />

WOW!! You be the judge, will he work on Angus cows?<br />

Don’t be fooled by his July pho<strong>to</strong>, he has matured tremendously since then and now looks more like the Lot 125 pho<strong>to</strong> which was taken in September. This bull has just slightly more frame<br />

than Lot 125 and probably a little fl ashier profi le. Both bulls are very clean fronted, but this bull is a little more up headed and fl ashy in his appearance. He is very sound and athletic on the<br />

move and is just very attractive. There is no white on his legs hidden by the grass, you can see all of his white in the pho<strong>to</strong>.<br />

This is the smallest frame of the four fl ush brothers, enormous middle, loaded with muscle, and so clean made that he really has a “clubby” look <strong>to</strong> him. He is white faced with one large<br />

black goggle eye, but has a lot of white on his legs and belly. He will be perfect <strong>to</strong> put on straight Angus cows <strong>to</strong> make ½ bloods and will hopefully put some white on the calves faces.<br />

This bull deserves <strong>to</strong> create a lot of interest. He is a natural calf out of the N341 Mabelle donor cow.<br />

She has never failed on a calf and sure didn’t this time. He is massive in his muscle and capacity,<br />

great shape and look <strong>to</strong> him, long as a freight train, and moves out with a long, very athletic stride.<br />

As the saying goes, he jumped through all the right hoops and his EPD profi le refl ects it, just a<br />

little above breed average for BW EPD, <strong>to</strong>p 3% for YW EPD, <strong>to</strong>p 25% for MM EPD, <strong>to</strong>p 30% for<br />

YG EPD, <strong>to</strong>p 3% for Marb EPD, <strong>to</strong>p 1% for REA EPD, <strong>to</strong>p 20% for API, and <strong>to</strong>p 1% of the breed<br />

for TI. He does not have any white on<br />

him at all and is defi nitely a bull that<br />

needs <strong>to</strong> be strongly considered by<br />

Purebred Simmental breeders as a<br />

seeds<strong>to</strong>ck herd sire.<br />

He is solid black and a solid growth machine, a direct son out of our N361 Hotline donor cow and she has a his<strong>to</strong>ry of producing high growth, great carcass value, and unfortunately, a<br />

little more birth weight. Again, the 6.0 looks completely scary, but prior <strong>to</strong> the base change, that would have been a mid-4, so it will take some getting used <strong>to</strong> on this EPD base change.<br />

Regardless, he is still a high growth, bigger birth weight bull that should go on larger mature cows or cows with some Brahman infl uence. He has the potential <strong>to</strong> add a lot of pounds and<br />

dollars <strong>to</strong> a calf crop.<br />

For those of you wanting a club calf sire, you had better check this guy out. Very sound, great feet and legs, smaller frame, and as much muscle as you possibly could pack on without looking<br />

strange. He does have some white on his rear feet, but that really does not matter if using him on Angus cows and wanting <strong>to</strong> make blaze-face ½ bloods. Craig Hays does our ultrasound<br />

scanning and has probably scanned as many bulls nationwide in his lifetime as any other ultrasound technician in the industry. When he scanned this bull, he made the comment that it may<br />

be the biggest ribeye he had ever seen on the screen before. This bull is all muscle and his carcass EPDs refl ect it with a YG and REA EPD <strong>to</strong>tally off the percentile chart, well beyond the<br />

<strong>to</strong>p 1% of the breed for both traits. Put him on Angus cows with high marbling genetics and you will create some extremely high value calves, the kind all feedlots want <strong>to</strong> get their hands on.<br />

1% of the breed for YG and REA, so he is a perfect genetic match for making high value ½ blood calves out of Angus cows. He has a very tiny spot of white right against his rear hoof and<br />

may make a difference <strong>to</strong> Purebred Simmental breeders, but will sure not be a problem for commercial producers.<br />

The next four bulls, Lots 141 – 144 are the result of two sets of frozen embryos we purchased for the intention of getting a couple females from some new<br />

cow families introduced in<strong>to</strong> our herd. The two donor dams of these embryos are not owned by Gibbs Farms, but considered some of the best genetics<br />

available in the industry. All four bulls are sired by Upgrade and out of new cow family genetics <strong>to</strong> our program.<br />

ANGUS BULLS . . . LOTS 145 – 148<br />

We are a little short on our Angus bull numbers this year due <strong>to</strong> a large run on heifer calves. We never have many Angus bulls, but the ones we have<br />

are the result of very selective matings <strong>to</strong> the absolute best Angus cows we own. Our Angus matings, mostly embryo fl ushes, are always for the intent<br />

of producing Angus replacement heifers and the resulting bulls make super additions <strong>to</strong> our bull sale. The American Angus Association EPDs will be<br />

available on the following four Angus bulls prior <strong>to</strong> sale time. As soon as available, we will put them on the Gibbs Farms website and we will have them<br />

available at the sale.<br />

Gibbs Farms heifer calves are normally weaned the fi rst week in April, three <strong>to</strong> four weeks prior <strong>to</strong> our bull calves. As soon as they are weaned,<br />

they are turned out in large pastures in groups of 25 – 40 heifers for the summer. All of our pastures are a mixture of KY-31 fescue and common<br />

Bermuda. We feel it is essential the heifers graze KY-31 fescue while developing so they become acclimated <strong>to</strong> the effects of the endophyte.<br />

The heifers are provided free choice mineral containing Rumensin and BC Calving and Rebreeding tubs. We also try <strong>to</strong> hand feed a very<br />

limited amount of supplemental feed <strong>to</strong> them four <strong>to</strong> fi ve times a week, a ration we make at the farm containing soyhull pellets, dry distillers,<br />

and cot<strong>to</strong>nseed hulls. We never feed any type of high starch cereal grain products <strong>to</strong> any of our cattle. We initially vaccinate prior <strong>to</strong> weaning<br />

using a 7-way clostridium and modifi ed-live Bovi-Shield Gold as well as collect tissue samples from all calves <strong>to</strong> test for BVD-PI. After weaning,<br />

they get a booster of each and are vaccinated for Brucellosis. At sale time, our heifers will not be carrying extra, unneeded condition and we<br />

experience great breeding conception each year.<br />

Complete birth, weaning, and yearling performance data and ultrasound scan results were processed and their results incorporated in<strong>to</strong> the<br />

genetic evaluation prior <strong>to</strong> us downloading the EPDs for the sale catalog, so the EPDs printed in the sale catalog for each animal is their most<br />

current and complete genetic prediction.<br />

Development<br />

Sure Bet daughters . . . will lead off our replacement heifer offering this year. Our oldest Sure Bet daughters in production are calving this fall as<br />

fi ve-year-old cows and we will calve 31 of his daughters ranging from two <strong>to</strong> fi ve years old this fall. We are retaining another group of 20 yearlings <strong>to</strong><br />

breed for next year because Sure Bet daughters are doing a great job for us as mamas and his carcass genetics are as good as any sire we have used.<br />

They are not big, over-powering as cows, but they are very slick haired cows that stay in good condition, have proven <strong>to</strong> milk well, raise big calves, and<br />

breed back effi ciently. That’s what a cow is supposed <strong>to</strong> do, so they sure have a home at Gibbs Farms. We have selected some very special heifers for<br />

the sale this year, mainly due <strong>to</strong> the fact we have greatly reduced the number of replacements we need. For several years, we were replacing a lot of<br />

older cows and gradually growing our cow herd numbers a little. We are now at our carrying capacity with our cow herd, most of the old cows have<br />

been replaced and the number of retained replacement heifers this year is about 20% - 25% less than it has been for the past fi ve years, allowing us <strong>to</strong><br />

feature more of our best heifers in the sale.<br />

sold, allowing us <strong>to</strong> share a few of the very best. The Lot 150 heifer is about as<br />

The next three heifers, Lots 151 – 153, are embryo full sisters sired by Sure Bet and out of our Jauer 7020 donor cow. This cow has proven <strong>to</strong> be our<br />

best producer of highly productive Angus replacement females. Since we name females by cow family name, it is easy <strong>to</strong> look through our sale catalog<br />

and see how many females appear with the Jauer 7020 in their name. We would not even know how <strong>to</strong> start trying <strong>to</strong> calculate what this cow has done<br />

for us and she is nowhere close <strong>to</strong> done. We have 29 embryos out of 3 different mating’s still sitting in the tank ready <strong>to</strong> be implanted and at almost 16<br />

years old, she is due <strong>to</strong> calve again with a natural calf this fall. She defi nitely is looking like an old cow, but it’s amazing how sound she still is on her feet<br />

and legs. She is truly one of the great Angus cows of the breed and we are offering three of her direct daughters sired by Sure Bet, not the pick of them,<br />

actually selling all three. If there truly is a serious breeder in the seats on sale day, these three heifers will all go <strong>to</strong> the same home. Great cow families<br />

make a difference and a chance <strong>to</strong> buy in<strong>to</strong> a proven great cow family with young genetics like this does not come along very often.<br />

This heifer is a granddaughter of Jauer 7020. When we purchased 7020 from Jauer Angus fi ve years ago, she was bred <strong>to</strong> OCC Anchor and the dam of Lot 154 was the resulting calf. This<br />

pedigree, Sure Bet x OCC Anchor x OCC Doc<strong>to</strong>r, is quite unique. Try fi nding another female for sale in the whole country with this pedigree. This Sure Bet daughter had a huge ribeye<br />

when scanned and her YG and REA EPDs both rank in the <strong>to</strong>p 1% of the breed. Mating her <strong>to</strong> our new, high marbling herd sire, In Force would make an interesting calf.<br />

Here’s another Sure Bet daughter out of a straight Jauer bred Angus dam that also goes back <strong>to</strong> OCC Anchor and look at the carcass EPDs on her, <strong>to</strong>p 2% for YG, <strong>to</strong>p 30% for Marb, and<br />

<strong>to</strong>p 1% for REA. She is a big middle female that should make a very easy keeping cow.

Another Dual Focus out of a Black Joker dam, this one going back <strong>to</strong> our old former donor, Blackcap 877. This heifer has much higher growth genetics than the normal Dual Focus daughter.<br />

This is the last of the six Dual Focus daughters out of Black Joker dams and this one is as nice as the fi rst one. This would be a great opportunity <strong>to</strong> put a large group of ½ and ¾ sisters<br />

This is a small frame, big middle heifer that stacks two great cow producing sires in her pedigree with Dual Focus and Stetson. She also had a tremendous ultrasound scan with an IMF<br />

ratio of 107 and REA ratio of 110. Her s<strong>to</strong>ut carcass genetics and low birth weight gives her a boost on her API as it ranks in the <strong>to</strong>p 10% of the breed.<br />

It <strong>to</strong>ok teeth gritting and knuckle clinching <strong>to</strong> force ourselves in<strong>to</strong> selling this heifer and we really should have tried <strong>to</strong> get a pho<strong>to</strong> of her, but we just don’t have time <strong>to</strong> get it all done.

ranks in the <strong>to</strong>p 10% of the breed for BW and YW EPDs, <strong>to</strong>p 2% for MM EPD, <strong>to</strong>p 15% for API, and <strong>to</strong>p 3% for TI. Her dam is our oldest Rookie daughter and has weaned 4 calves with an<br />

Finale daughters . . . this is our oldest Finale daughters, so we don’t have any daughter production data at this time, but Finale is sired by the great<br />

cow producing Angus bull, Final Answer and out of the same dam as Dual Focus. The probability of them making highly productive, easy fl eshing cows<br />

is fairly good and their brothers impressed us enough <strong>to</strong> be the lead off sire group for our sale catalog this year. It appears they will be similar frame<br />

size <strong>to</strong> the Dual Focus progeny, but with a little more performance and s<strong>to</strong>uter look.<br />

Touchdown daughters . . . generally will be some of the smallest frame, most feminine, heaviest milking<br />

cows in the pasture with picture perfect udders and teats. Our guys at the farm will quickly tell you the only<br />

negative <strong>to</strong> a Touchdown mama is she really likes her calf!!! That’s not an all bad trait with the coyote and<br />

buzzard problems we have during calving season. We are actually selling a couple Touchdown daughters<br />

uncharacteristically large and powerful, but it’s due <strong>to</strong> the cows they are out of. Normally the Touchdown<br />

progeny are not know for added frame size or performance, but the daughters are super good and heavy<br />

milking as indicated by his 37.5 MM EPD, now ranking in the <strong>to</strong>p 1% of the breed.<br />

Open Fall Yearling SimAngus Replacement Heifers<br />

Slugger daughters . . . this is our fi rst calf crop of Slugger calves<br />

and we were surprised and thrilled <strong>to</strong> fi nd out he is going <strong>to</strong> be a “slamdunk”<br />

heifer bull. We did not expect the birth weight and calving ease <strong>to</strong><br />

be that good out of a Rookie x Alberda Traveler pedigree, but he is now<br />

fairly high accuracy plus has the DNA 50K data added in the mix and<br />

everything agrees, he is a heifer bull. He is also predicted <strong>to</strong> be really<br />

heavy MM EPD, currently at +37.4 and in the <strong>to</strong>p 1% of the breed. With<br />

his birth, growth, maternal, and carcass all in the <strong>to</strong>p percentile range<br />

of the breed, it makes him a great choice for siring replacement heifers.<br />

We are offering seven Slugger daughters that as an average rank in the<br />

<strong>to</strong>p 20% of the breed for API and TI, <strong>to</strong>p 2% for MM EPD, and <strong>to</strong>p 10%<br />

for BW EPD. That’s impressive for an average of a group. The lead off<br />

and picture heifer is out of our Blackcap 877 cow family and the next<br />

two are both from our Mabelle cow family, so great producing genetics<br />

run deep in this group of heifers. Lot 193<br />

Xtreme daughters . . . will once again highlight our sale ads and the<br />

cover of our sale catalog with a striking blaze-face daughter. Xtreme holds the<br />

distinction of being the second highest YW EPD SimAngus bull in the breed,<br />

only trailing Diesel in overall performance. We own Xtreme in partnership<br />

with R.A. Brown Ranch in Texas and unfortunately lost him <strong>to</strong> a series of health<br />

complications this summer. There is a very limited amount of semen remaining,<br />

but doubtful Donald Brown will part with a single straw of it, however you<br />

are sure welcome <strong>to</strong> ask. Xtreme has consistently produced high progeny<br />

ratios for growth, marbling, and ribeye as evidenced by his high ranking EPD<br />

profi le and a sire that deserves <strong>to</strong> be mated <strong>to</strong> a few of the best cows in any<br />

breeder’s herd. If several of these heifers were a little older, they would never<br />

be leaving our herd.<br />

This is the only Cy Young daughter in the sale and he is not a big name A.I. sire, but this heifer does not need <strong>to</strong> get overlooked. She is big middle, s<strong>to</strong>ut, and the right kind. She ranks in<br />

the <strong>to</strong>p 1% of the breed for MM EPD, <strong>to</strong>p 10% for Marb EPD, and really high on both economic index’s. She is out of a two-year-old Stetson daughter from our Candy 350M donor cow<br />

family. This heifer is good enough <strong>to</strong> highlight any pen of sale heifers we decide <strong>to</strong> put her with.<br />

Power-Pax daughters . . . have proven their ability as great producing cows in our herd<br />

as well as data from daughters in the ASA Carcass Merit herds. Power-Pax has proven through<br />

actual carcass data <strong>to</strong> be one of the best YG and highest REA SimAngus bulls in the breed<br />

through progeny harvested in the Carcass Merit Program and he offers true outcross genetics.<br />

The 16 daughters in the sale average as a group in the <strong>to</strong>p 10% of the breed for YG EPD and<br />

<strong>to</strong>p 1% for REA EPD. That is as<strong>to</strong>unding statistics for a group of 16 ½ sisters. He is one of those<br />

rare bulls that is simply a breeding machine and you can put him with 50 or 60 cows with<br />

no worry of everything getting bred<br />

on time. If we try <strong>to</strong> write footnotes<br />

on these heifers, they will all sound<br />

the same, “s<strong>to</strong>ut, powerful, big<br />

Lot 208<br />

middle, and huge REA”, so no need<br />

<strong>to</strong> take the space nor your time reading it over and over. Do your homework here, look at the<br />

cow families represented, look at the maternal sires standing behind these heifers, and take<br />

advantage of a chance <strong>to</strong> put <strong>to</strong>gether a large group of sisters with tremendous economic<br />

performance and carcass genetics. Do a little math, average the EPDs of these heifers, and<br />

mate them <strong>to</strong> S D S In Force 112Y. Do you think those numbers will be any problem <strong>to</strong> market in<br />

the future? This group of Power-Pax daughters is a true economic highlight of the sale offering.<br />

Diesel daughters . . . terminal genetic power <strong>to</strong> the utmost extreme best describes the<br />

Diesel daughters, yet the whole group of 18 averages above breed average for MM EPD.<br />

As a group, the 18 ½ and ¾ sisters average in the <strong>to</strong>p 1% of the breed for WW, YW, and<br />

MWW EPDs, in the <strong>to</strong>p 3% for Terminal Index (TI), in the <strong>to</strong>p 15% for REA EPD, in the <strong>to</strong>p 30%<br />

for Marb EPD, and as we stated, still averages above breed average for milking ability in the<br />

heaviest milking beef breed genetic evaluation. There is giant economic earning potential in<br />

this group of heifers and they are backed by some of the best cow family genetics from our<br />

breeding program. Look at the tat<strong>to</strong>o numbers of their dam’s, all are either U or T, meaning<br />

we bred him <strong>to</strong> the best young cows in our herd. Scroll down the list of their dam’s names and<br />

you fi nd cow families like “Blackcap 877”, “Jauer 7020”, “Dixie”, and “Lilac”. Look at the list<br />

of maternal sires in their pedigrees, six sired by Rookie, and many others by breed leading<br />

Lot 224<br />

sires like Gambler, Lucky Man, Jackpot, and In Dew Time. How many sales can you fi nd in the<br />

country that can offer 18 SimAngus sisters of this genetic quality at one time, one day, and one sale. You will travel the wheels off a truck trying <strong>to</strong> put<br />

<strong>to</strong>gether a set of ½ and ¾ sisters like this. There are numerous Angus and SimAngus bulls available that will mate perfectly with these heifers. Enough<br />

said, no more footnotes, here they are, let’s see who fi gures out the true genetic power of what we are offering here.<br />

Gibbs Farms 7th Annual Bull & Replacement Heifer <strong>Sale</strong> 68


69 Gibbs Farms 7th Annual Bull & Replacement Heifer <strong>Sale</strong><br />

Open Fall Yearling Simmental Replacement Heifers<br />

All of our Simmental heifers are sired by Long’s Shear Pleasure, Stetson, and Upgrade, each of which has been discussed in depth at other places in<br />

the sale catalog, so we will not bother with sire group introductions. Several of the Shear Pleasure heifers are really s<strong>to</strong>ut and read great on paper, but<br />

probably carry <strong>to</strong>o much white <strong>to</strong> interest Purebred Simmental breeders. These heifers will work great bred <strong>to</strong> Angus in a SimAngus breeding program<br />

and they are the right kind <strong>to</strong> use in a club calf breeding program. The three Stetson daughters are all three very nice females, a little refi ned as is normal<br />

for Stetson daughters, but they are good, sound Simmental heifers. The fi nal heifer is an Upgrade daughter that is the result of some frozen embryos<br />

we purchased. She is absolutely not in the sale because we didn’t like her. It’s more like we had <strong>to</strong> sell one <strong>to</strong> pay for the embryos and we feel she will<br />

fi nd a lot of friends.<br />

This heifer is from the embryo fl ush <strong>to</strong> our really good 7241T blaze-face Sure Bet cow and she is pictured in the Purebred Simmental sale bull section of this catalog. She is powerful in<br />

her muscle and scanned a 109 ratio for REA. She ranks in the <strong>to</strong>p 2% of the breed for YW EPD, <strong>to</strong>p 10% for MM EPD, <strong>to</strong>p 5% for YG EPD, <strong>to</strong>p 1% for REA, and <strong>to</strong>p 1% for TI, so she has<br />

tremendous genetic value, her only negative is some extra white on her legs and belly. It will be a negative <strong>to</strong> some and not for others.<br />

Here’s the Simmental heifer that should get some breeder interest. She is small frame and absolutely a tank, just like her big middle, powerful Black Joker dam. She is solid black, same as<br />

the other two Shear Pleasure x Black Joker heifers cataloged ahead of her. Even being smaller frame, she scanned one of the biggest ribeyes of all the heifers in the sale and the biggest<br />

of the Simmental heifers as well as an IMF scan ratio of 116. She is absolutely loaded with carcass genetic potential and her smaller frame size will allow so many different mating options.<br />

ultrasound scan IMF ratio and ranks in the <strong>to</strong>p 1% of the breed for Marb EPD, <strong>to</strong>p 2% for API, and <strong>to</strong>p 3% for TI. She is another heifer that was originally on our replacement heifer list and<br />

only got moved <strong>to</strong> the sale because we had more replacement heifers selected than we needed.<br />

ARMS<br />

Our bred female offering this year will be the biggest improvement of the entire<br />

sale offering. We have never had bred heifers of this quality in our sale. Our<br />

goal has been <strong>to</strong> offer bred heifers just as good as our open yearling heifers<br />

and it has taken us a couple years <strong>to</strong> achieve that goal, but we feel comfortable<br />

that goal has been reached this year. Many of the bred females this year are<br />

seeds<strong>to</strong>ck breeder quality genetics.<br />

These heifers have been managed exactly the same as our bred replacement<br />

heifers. They have been running on KY-31 fescue and common Bermuda pasture<br />

their whole life. The only supplemental feed they have gotten since they were<br />

bred has been hay when needed, mineral, and the BC Calving and Rebreeding<br />

tubs. They will be in excellent condition for calving and the way they are<br />

uddering up right now, calving season will not be long after sale time.<br />

The Rookie heifer we chose as our lead-off bred female this year is an absolute beauty . . . huge middle, sound structured, and just as feminine fronted as a dairy heifer. Her granddam is<br />

the dam of our herd sire Stretch and also the dam of War Eagle, the high selling SimAngus bull in our sale last year that is now owned by Bozeman Farms in Mississippi. Her outstanding<br />

Sure Bet dam has weaned two calves with a 117 weaning ratio. Her YW EPD blows completely off the charts in the elite <strong>to</strong>p 1% of the breed, her MM EPD ranks in the <strong>to</strong>p 10%, YG and<br />

Marb both rank in the <strong>to</strong>p 35%, REA in the <strong>to</strong>p 1%, and her Terminal Index (TI) ranks in the <strong>to</strong>p 2% of the breed. This female would make a huge genetic contribution <strong>to</strong> any seeds<strong>to</strong>ck<br />

breeding program in the industry. All she needs <strong>to</strong> do is prove that she can produce as predicted and she can stand in any front pasture donor pen in the country.<br />

The only reason this powerful Olympian daughter is in the sale is because she apparently slipped a short gestation pregnancy and did not return in heat quick enough <strong>to</strong> breed back in our<br />

very short breeding season. She had conceived fi rst service A.I. for four years in a row, so we put her in with the sale heifers and gave her one more chance <strong>to</strong> breed A.I. Her fi rst calf was<br />

a Rookie daughter that remains in our herd and has weaned two calves with a 103 ratio. Her next two calves were Rookie sons and her last calf was a Dual Focus heifer that is currently<br />

standing in our replacement heifer pasture. It is rare a cow gets a second chance at Gibbs Farms, but this cow was worth the chance and it worked out.<br />

The pho<strong>to</strong> of this Simmental heifer does not do her justice. She is a very<br />

moderate framed, absolute tank of a heifer and just as sound structured and<br />

good temperament as can be. Infi niti is an extremely high performance, high<br />

carcass value sire and this heifer ranks in the <strong>to</strong>p 15% of the breed for YG<br />

EPD, <strong>to</strong>p 10% for Marb EPD, and <strong>to</strong>p 30% for REA EPD. She is defi nitely<br />

seeds<strong>to</strong>ck breeder quality all the way and needs <strong>to</strong> be seriously consider by<br />

all Simmental breeders.<br />

We will end the replacement female offering with a powerful Missing Link embryo daughter out of our Jauer 7020 cow. We are retaining three full sibs <strong>to</strong> her in the herd. Her fi rst calf was a<br />

heifer calf sired by Game Day and sold in our sale last fall. Her second calf was a Stetson bull calf and was not old enough <strong>to</strong> make it in<strong>to</strong> our sale this year. She is fat as can be on grass<br />

alone and has raised a calf both years since calving as a two-year-old, just typical of her genetics.<br />
