MONDAY • MARCH 16 TH 2026 @ 1:00 PM Glacial Lakes Livestock • 1005 9th Ave SW, Watertown, SD 57201 Bull and Replacement Female Sale
Please join us March 16 th for our Bull and Replacement Female Sale to be held at Glacial Lakes Livestock in Watertown, SD. I would like to start with introducing our family and giving a little history on Kwasniewski Angus. We purchased our farm in 1996 when we were married and that’s when we started developing our Angus herd. We have 2 children who have been a part of the farm through it all! Our son Tristen and his wife Mara were blessed with a daughter, Scottlyn Kay, last September making us first time grandparents! Tristen works on the farm and Mara works at Prairie Lakes Health Care Systems. Our daughter Morgan was married last summer to Hunter Waege. She works at the FSA office here in Clear Lake and coaches gymnastics. Hunter works at Agri-Partners and coaches football. We are fortunate to have our family close and always willing to help on the farm! As we choose sires to use and which replacement heifers to keep, our goal is to maintain moderate framed cows with great fertility to produce herd improving genetics. The cows are AI’d off natural heat. This requires a lot of time heat detecting, but the benefits of the great conception and fertility have made it worth the time spent. We are very excited about the bulls and heifers we’re offering this year! We appreciate the comments we’ve heard on good disposition and performance in the past. All the bulls and heifers have been genomic tested, giving the most accurate information on each bull and heifer we can. Let us help you find the right one for you! The registered heifers are a top pick from our replacements, which is something we’ve never offered before! The group of commercial replacement females are picked from excellent dams in our herd. All cattle selling have been developed on a high roughage ration consisting of hay, silage, and earlage, and no creep. Thank you to everyone that has helped make this happen for us! Family, friends, and all those who have trusted in our program to purchase breeding stock for their herds the past 30 years! Feel free to call with any questions or to view the cattle prior to sale day. Brisket lunch provided sale day!

AMERICAN ANGUS ASSOCIATION SELECTION TOOLS Expected Progeny Difference (EPD), is the prediction of how future progeny of each animal are expected to perform relative to the progeny of other animals listed in the database. EPDs are expressed in units of measure for the trait, plus or minus. Interim EPDs may appear on young animals when their performance has yet to be incorporated into the American Angus Association National Cattle Evaluation (NCE) procedures. This EPD will be preceded by an “I”, and may or may not include the animal’s own performance record for a particular trait, depending on its availability, appropriate contemporary grouping, or data edits needed for NCE.
PRODUCTION Calving Ease Direct (CED) , expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births, with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in first-calf heifers. It predicts the average difference in ease with which a sire’s calves will be born when he is bred to first- calf heifers. Birth Weight (BW) , expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit birth weight to his progeny compared to that of other sires. Weaning Weight (WW) , expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit weaning growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires. Yearling Weight (YW) , expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit yearling growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires. Scrotal Circumference (SC), expressed in centimeters, is a predictor of the difference in transmitting scrotal size compared to that of other sires. MANAGEMENT Claw Set (Claw) , expressed in units of claw-set score, a lower EPD is more favorable, indicating a sire will produce progeny with more symmetrical, even and appropriately spaced toes compared to another sire. Foot Angle (Angle) , expressed in units of foot-angle score, a lower EPD is more favorable, indicating a sire will produce progeny with an angle closer to 45 degrees at the pastern and appropriate toe length and heel depth compared to another sire. Docility (DOC), expressed as a difference in yearling cattle temperament, with a higher value indicating more favorable docility in a sire’s offspring compared to another sire. MATERNAL Heifer Pregnancy (HP) , is a selection tool to increase the probability or chance of a sire’s daughters becoming pregnant as first–calf heifers during a normal breeding season. A higher EPD is the more favorable direction, and the EPD is reported in percentage units. Maternal Milk (Milk), expressed in pounds of calf weaned, is a predictor of a sire’s genetic merit for milk and mothering ability in his daughters. In other words, it is the part of the calf’s weaning weight attributes to milk and mothering ability. CARCASS Carcass Weight (CW) , expressed in pounds, is a predictor of the differences in hot carcass weight of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires. Marbling (Marb) , expressed as a fraction of the difference in USDA marbling score of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires. Ribeye Area (RE) , expressed in square inches, is a predictor of the difference in ribeye area of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.
Fat Thickness EPD (Fat), expressed in inches, is a predictor of the differences in external fat thickness at the 12th rib (as measured between the 12th and 13th ribs) of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires. $VALUE INDEXES $Value Indexes, expressed in dollars per head, are multi-trait selection indexes where a higher value suggests more profit. The $Value is an estimate of how future progeny of each sire are expected to perform, on average, compared to progeny of other sires if sires were randomly mated to cows and if calves were exposed to the same environment. Maternal Weaned Calf Value ($M) , expressed in dollars per head, predicts profitability differences in progeny due to genetics from conception to weaning by decreasing mature cow size and improving docility, foot structure and fertility while maintaining weaning weights consistent with today’s production. Weaned Calf Value ($W) , expressed in dollars per head, provides the expected difference in future progeny pre-weaning performance from birth to weaning. Energy Value ($EN) , expressed in dollar savings per cow per year with a larger value being more favorable. It assesses differences in cow energy requirements, due to maternal milk and mature cow size. Feedlot Value ($F) , expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for post-weaning feedlot merit (growth and feed efficiency) compared to progeny of other sires assuming producers retain ownership of cattle through the feedlot phase and sell on a carcass-weight basis. Grid Value ($G) , expressed in dollars per carcass, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for carcass grid merit, including quality and yield grade attributes, compared to progeny of other sires. Beef Value ($B) , expressed in dollars per carcass, represents the expected average differ- ences in the progeny post-weaning performance and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires. This index assumes commercial pro ducers wean all male and female progeny, retain ownership of these animals through the feedlot and sell on a carcass merit grid. Combined Value ($C), expressed in dollars per head, which includes all traits that make up both Maternal Weaned Calf Value ($M) and Beef Value ($B) with the objective that commercial producers will replace 20% of their breeding females per year with replacement heifers retained within their own herd. The remaining cull heifer and steer progeny are then assumed to be sent to the feedlot where the producers retain ownership of those cattle and sell them on a quality-based carcass merit grid.

Johnson, Oklahoma State Extension Specialist for Livestock Evaluation As a student at Oklahoma State University in the mid-1980s, I was taught that a good bull is worth the value of five calves he sires. It is a good answer and a good rule of thumb to follow, but the problem is it doesn’t exactly narrow down the range. As always, we need define “a good bull,” check current market reports, answer some questions about how we intend to market future calf crops and do some “cowboy math” to arrive at a more precise answer. What is Considered a “Good Bull?” For this discussion, qualifications to meet “good bull” status are: 1. A bull that sells with a registration paper, which includes pedigree information and a complete set of genetic values (including 2. EPDs and bio-economic indices) to be considered in the selection process. 3. A bull that has passed a breeding soundness exam (BSE) and sells with a breeding soundness warranty (terms will vary). 4. A bull that will add value to calves sired because he fits your breeding objectives, production system and marketing plans. When Are We Marketing Our Calves? What is Their Value? Using the end of year market prices for 2025 from Oklahoma State University livestock economist Derrell Peel’s article in the Dec. 29, 2025, issue of the Cow-Calf Corner newsletter: • 500 lb. weaned steer calves were worth about $4.80/lb. for a value of approximately $2,400 per head. Therefore, if my future marketing plan is to sell weaned steers, $2,400 x 5 = $12,000 is the answer. • 800 lb. yearling steers were worth about $3.50/lb. for a value of $2,800 per head. Therefore, if my future marketing plan is to sell yearling steers, $2,800 x 5 = $14,000 is the answer. • 1,500 lb. finished beef steers were worth $2.29/lb. live for a value of $3,435 each. Therefore, if my future marketing plan is to retain owner-ship through finishing and sell fed cattle on a live weight basis, $3,435 x 5 = $17,175 is the answer. So, in the current market, a good bull is worth somewhere between $12,000 to $17,175 to a commercial cow-calf operation. Where exactly in that range depends on your marketing plan and the market conditions at that time. There’s not an exact number because there are many variables in play. One key point illustrated here is that the longer you own the off spring before marketing, the greater the value of the bull to your operation. Retained ownership gives you more time and opportunity to capture the value of your investment in genetics. What is a Good Bull Worth in 2026?

It is noteworthy that we haven’t considered the value added to replacement females a bull will sire. Bulls used to sire the next generation of cows have an even greater long- term economic impact on the profitpotential of your operation and should be valued accordingly. I encourage cow-calf operations to consider their breeding goals, production system and marketing plan. Doing so should dictate where to apply selection pressure. Genetic values pay when you purchase bulls capable of improving genetic potential for the specific traits that will translate to added value at your intended marketing endpoint.
