SALE INFORMATION
2015 Stavick Simmental“King of the Range” Bull Sale
Thursday, February 5, 2015 • 1:00 PMAberdeen Livestock, West Barn
Aberdeen, South Dakota • 605-225-2062
Cattlemen,What a difference a year makes! Cattle prices are at record levels and feed costs are declining, good to be on this side of the cattle cycle. As we all know however thegood times are much shorter than the tough times. Input costs continue to be at record levels and probably wonít come down much more. With that being said pro-ducers are trying to rebuild their herds and breeding females are demanding record prices. This is a great time to sharpen our management skills and maximize pro-duction of our livestock and we feel Simmental as a breed is leading the way to maximize production per cow or per acre of grass. One of the greatest attributes ofSimmental is a highly fertile female that has adequate milk, calves unassisted, and is easy to handle. The Simmental bulls produce cattle the feedlots want with theirability to gain red muscle and still grade choice and hang a heavy carcass.
Our herd, for the 5th straight year, has been recognized with a Performance Advocate award and a score of 500. Simply put this award is given for producers whoturn in data for every cow in their herd for birth weight, weaning weight, yearling weight and yearling hip height. It takes a great deal of discipline and effort to makesure all records are recorded and up to date and Stavick Simmental is very proud to be one of the 41 who qualified for spring 2013 enrollment in the country. It alsogives you, our customers, the confidence you need, when selecting your next herd bull, that numbers are real and not weighted to be an advantage to some siregroups or individual.
The bulls are developed on a complete TMR high roughage ration. The ration consists primarily of prairie hay, corn silage, alfalfa and corn along with a dense proteinpellet. They are developed with a target Average Daily Gain (ADG) of 3.65 lbs. Fast enough to observe bulls that excel in feed conversion and eliminate those that donítand slow enough to allow maximum skeletal growth, foot and testicular development. Again I will emphasize a core belief of ours that a customer should never haveto worry about foot problems because of overfeeding.
As far as herd health goes all cows are actively tested for Johnes. We are on a modified live vaccination protocol utilizing Bovishield, Somubac, Ultra bac and Enforce3. All bulls will be current on worming and be poured within 30 days of sale. All bulls will be semen tested prior to the sale and delivered the end of March. If youshould choose to take your bull home day of the sale we will credit you $100 per bull.
A couple quick notes. Notice we have included a Calving ease score from 1 to 5 stars. This is simply an opinion on what we feel each bulls ability to calve are basedon past experience of dam, calf birth weight and shape of the calf at birth. We recommend only bulls with 5 ***** to be used on heifers and bulls with 1 * to be usedon mature cows. Again this in only our recommendation and your management practices and experience must be considered.
Mike, Myra, Owen and Livie

REFERENCE SIRES
Feeding of your new yearling bull is one of the most important steps in the continued maturity process. If you choose to take your bull home it is vital to maintain proper nutri-tional levels for proper semen production, skeletal development and foot and leg structure. From the day you get him home until turnout, the bull must be in a positive energybalance for increasing the odds of years of continued use. Basic needs are clean fresh water, free choice mineral, adequate dry bedding and wind protection. On the nutritionalend yearling bulls should continue to receive at least 14% of ration in protein and a 48 megacal ration. Typically free choice alfalfa hay and 8-10 lbs of corn will hit this. After
breeding season, separate yearlings and start feeding this type of ration to make sure they are in adequate body condition before the chill of winter hits. Keep yearling and 2 yearolds separate from the older bulls. I realize this is difficult but with the cost of investing in new animals every effort must be taken to minimize stress and injury.

His dam has had 9 calves including a setof twins and her ratios are 101 BW, 107 WW and 107 YW and her calving interval is 356 days. Again this cowgoes back to our great 030K. He is sired by King of Diamonds and looks the part. We have several half broth-ers, both red and black to choose from. Calving ease ***

We bred several Hetro Black females to King of Diamond trying to expand our red program, this calf is a resultof that effort but he came out black. He is really a unique calf, being about as deep and muscular as you canbe just on a bit smaller frame. He has a very well balanced set of EPD’s and could be used to make replace-ments or feeders. I have him down as a 4 star calving ease bull. I would not use on heifers but on a group ofsecond calvers he will calve very easy. Calving ease ****

If we had a 6 star calving ease bull this would be him. He started with a 62 lb actual BW, has a CE EPD of 16.7and a BW of -3.8. We believe you can use this bull on your heifers and never pull a calf unless it is backwardsor a leg back. He will be disciplined with mature size and will allow him to be used on heifers his entire life,that’s a nice option, kind of like leather seats with heat! Calving ease *****

From an EPD viewpoint he may be the best numbered bull in the sale. 10 traits in the top 20%. A sure calvingease bull with high maternal traits, make him a perfect choice to breed to heifers and retain his daughters.They will be disciplined on mature size and stay in the herd a long time, those traits are the profit drivers ofany program.

For whatever reason during AI I could not get the pipette passed on 207Z. The only bull around the ranch thatday was King of Diamond. I knew this heifer carried the red gene and I said what the hell and turned themtogether. I figured I would worry about getting the calf out of her later since at the time Diamonds numberssaid not to breed to heifers. Long story short we got a black bouncing baby boy weighing in at 84 lbs bornunassisted and weaned at 706 lbs!

Not only does this bull have a ton of per-formance blending these cow families it puts him in the top 4% of the breed for milk. By blood he is a 3/4brother to lot 20B. Calving ease **

You will not find a thicker bull with a bigger hip anywhere. The King ofClubs calves are all about performance, in particular post weaning gain. Noother sire has the rate of gain of the King of Clubs, his ratio on 21 calvesfor post weaning gain is 106 and we think you will agree we need to makea lot more of them. He is fast proving his impeccable EPD profile andbelieve it or not has been a huge hit in the dairy industry selling over15,000 straw to put size and hip into Jersey cows! Calving ease **

Looking for a red bull to use on heifers? Here he is! He got into a bit of a pickle with some old barb wire this sum-mer and cut his back up a little bit. This slowed him down all summer but once he got on feed he has been makingup time. A very docile bull to be around. CE is in the top 2% of the breed and API and TI are in the top 4%. Takehim home and use him on heifers for many years as his mature size will be very disciplined. Calving ease *****

King of Clubs x Bullflex. I wish I had 100 of these cause we can sell them all day long. Numbers backed upwith performance is our program. We are like you and want to raise maximum pounds of beef per cow andper acre. If you have maternal females and powerful bulls it makes it a lot easier. His dam 708T has weaned6 calves with a WW ratio of 104, YW of 109 and a 359 day calving ratio. I can’t say it enough, our cows haveto work for us so our bulls can work for you! Calving ease ***

First and foremost this bull is to be used on mature cows. He had an actual BW of 116. We normally don’t sell abull with this heavy of a BW, but last year was no typical year. All our Jan and Feb calves were up about 10 lbsfrom our average due primarily to extreme cold conditions and this calf was born unassisted out of a 1650 lbcow that got to his feet and nursed within 30 min! The dam 570R had never had a calf over 95 lbs until this year.We named him Shaq because of his size and performance. He is one of the largest frame bulls in the pen andwill create an awesome set of feeders! Scare the hell out of your neighbors cows buy 45B! Calving ease *

47B has a lot of performance in him particularly post weaning gain. Take a look at his YW EPD of 125, that’s inthe top 2% of the breed. If you look back to his maternal grand dam, 835H, this cow was 16 years old before wesold her due to age. The cattle cycle we are currently in producers are wanting to keep top end replacements thatwill last for 10 or more years; if that is your plan take a long look at this bull and his pedigree.

Sired by King of Diamonds and out of a Nophalt dam should appeal to most producers. Nophaltis a bull well known for his ability to replicate replacement females and standout bull calves.

Another flashy solid red bull out of King of Diamond and a Sim x Red Angus female out of Remington’s inCanada. He has a great amount of growth in a calving ease package. I put him as 4 stars, not quite a heifer bullbut very close. He has a nice small head and tremendous length of spine. Again he would be another bull quitecapable of creating a herd of profitable females. Not many times I will disagree completely with EPD’s but hismilk numbers I will not believe, rest assured they will have adequate milk with perfect udders. Calving ease ****

are similar in pedigree, sired by King ofDiamond and would create some
wonderful feeder steer and heifers. Put these half-bloods back on Red Angus or Simmental
cows and stand back! Maximize your heterosis with this group of bulls.

One of the youngest bulls in the sale with an April birthday. Don’t worry he is catching up fast to the oldercalves. Sired by King of Clubs and out of a Red Label cow out of Canada. Again I would put him not in theheifer bull range but very close. Use him on some 2nd calvers and retain the females! Calving ease ****

Here is a neat made, slightly smaller frame, King of Clubs calf, out of an Apollo dam. Apollo is a sire we usedon our virgin heifers as a cleanup bull. His calving ability was second to none. While I don’t think this bull qual-ifies as a heifer bull, with the correct management he is very close, with a 14 CE and -1.6 BW! 69B has oneof the most balanced set of numbers in the sale.

Those into composites will appreciate this _. He has the size and scale of a PB and the fleshing ability of a halfblood. He will work well on about any type of cow. His growth numbers put him in the top 15% for WW andYW with a TI in the top 20%. Calving ease ***

Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs): EPDsare the most accurate and effective toolavailable for comparing genetic levels. Inusing EPDs, the difference between twosires’ EPDs represents the unit differenceexpected in the performance of their proge-ny. For example, if sires A and B haveEPDs of +10 and –5, a 15-unit differencewould be expected in their progeny (movingfrom -5 to +10 yields 15 units). Key tousing EPDs is knowing what units they areexpressed in. For example, if the abovecase referred to weaning weight EPDs, Awould be expected to sire 15-pounds moreweaning weight than B. If calving easewere the trait, A would be expected to sire15-percent more unassisted births in first-calf heifers; in other words, if B sired 30assists in a group of 100 heifers, we’dexpect A to require 15 assists. A percentile-ranking chart is required to determinewhere a bull’s EPDs rank him relative toother bulls in the breed. For percentilerankings or more detailed informationabout EPDs and $ indexes visit www.sim-mental.org. Listed below are the units ASAEPDs are expressed in:
All-Purpose Index (API): Dollars per cowexposed under an all-purpose-sire scenario.(See below for more details.)
Back Fat (BF): Inches of backfat.Birth Weight (BW): Pounds of birth weight.Calving Ease (CE): Percent of unassisted births
when used on heifers.Carcass Weight (CW): Pounds of carcass weight.Maternal Calving Ease (MCE): Percent of unas-
sisted births in first-calving daughters. Milk (MLK): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk.Marbling (MRB): Marbling score.Maternal Weaning Weight (MWW): Pounds of
weaning weight due to milk and growth.Ribeye Area (REA): Square inches of ribeye.Warner-Bratzler Shear Force (WBSF): Pounds
of force required to shear a steak.Stayability (STAY): Percent of daughters remain-
ing in the cowherd at 6 years of age. Terminal Index (TI): Dollars per cow exposed
under a terminal-sire scenario. (See belowfor more details.)
Weaning Weight (WW): Pounds of weaningweight.Yearling Weight (YW): Pounds of yearlingweight.Yield Grade (YG): Yield grade score.
$ Indexes: Though EPDs allow for the comparisonof genetic levels for many economicallyimportant traits, they only provide a piece ofthe economic puzzle. That’s where $ indexescome in. Through well-conceived, rigorousmathematical computation, $ indexes blendEPDs and economics to estimate an animal’soverall impact on your bottom line. Thesame technology that led to the dramaticprogress in swine, poultry and dairy geneticsover the last several decades was used todevelop the following $ indexes:
All-Purpose Index (API): Evaluates sires for useon the entire cow herd (bred to both Angusfirst-calf heifers and mature cows) with theportion of their daughters required to main-tain herd size retained and the remainingheifers and steers put on feed and sold gradeand yield.
Terminal Index (TI): Evaluates sire for use onmature Angus cows with all offspring put onfeed and sold grade and yield.
Using API and TI: First, determine which indexto use; if you’re keeping replacements useAPI, if not, TI. Then, just as with EPDs,zero in on the unit difference between bulls.(As described above, index units are in dol-lars per cow exposed.) The difference can beused to determine how much a bull is worthcompared to another. Or, put another way,how much you can pay for one bull comparedto another. For example, when buying an all-purpose-type sire, you can quickly figure abull scoring +100 for API is worth an extra$6,000 over a+50 bull if both are exposed to30 cows over 4 years ($50 diff. x 30 hd. x 4yr. = $6,000). A percentile-ranking chart isrequired to determine where a bull’s indexvalue ranks him relative to other bulls in thebreed. For percentile rankings or moredetailed information about EPDs and $indexes
