49 th Annual Bull Sale

Matthew is a very recent graduate of CSU – graduating in December 2025 with a major in Animal Sciences and a minor in Agricultural Business. During his time at CSU, he was also a member of the CSU Ag Ambassadors. Looking ahead, Matthew would like to work with seedstock cow-calf operations to apply production principles gained through coursework and internship experiences, in addition to applying the detailed experiences gained through his involvement on the Seedstock Merchandising Team. His favorite part of the Seedstock Team is becoming close friends with teammates and working together to solve issues and achieve goals. When Matthew isn’t working in the barn, he enjoys hunting and fishing. When asked why other students should participate in the Seedstock Merchandising Program at CSU, Matthew said, “Seedstock has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my college career, and I believe that this experience is invaluable to anyone who has a desire to work in the livestock industry. This team teaches you how to work in a team setting and overcome adversity while working towards a common goal with a relatively short time frame.” — Matthew Hawkins – Brighton, CO Melanie is a Junior at CSU majoring in Animal Sciences and minoring in Intermediate Law Studies. She’s also very involved on campus – CSU Ag Ambassadors, Ag Leadership Resident Learning Community, Sigma Alpha Professional Sorority, Lideres in Agriculture, and Herd Health Club. Melanie hopes to attend vet school focusing on food animals or law school with an emphasis in ag policy. Her favorite thing about the Seedstock Team has been the people. In her free time, Melanie likes spending time with family, cooking alongside her mom, hanging out with her Corgi Paco, and painting. When asked why other students should participate in the Seedstock Merchandising program at CSU, she said, “It not only sets you up for success and responsibility, but you will get a family through doing this.” — Melanie Astorga Faudoa – Greeley, CO Hailey is a Sophomore at CSU double majoring in Animal Sciences and Equine Science planning to graduate Spring 2028. At CSU, she’s also a member of the Stress Physiology Lab and CSU Ag Ambassadors. After graduation, Hailey would like to work in the area of advanced reproduction technologies in cattle and small ruminants. Her favorite thing about the Seedstock Team has been making breeding recommendations and feeding show heifers as a team on the weekends. When she’s not in the show barn or the sheep barn, Hailey likes wake surfing, snowboarding, and going to the racetrack. When asked why other students should participate in the Seedstock Team, Hailey said, “There is more to the Seedstock Program than what you may think. On the surface, members gain valuable real-world experience in all aspects of cattle management and handling. From working pen cattle in the barn week in and week out or getting sale bulls ready to sell in the spring, there is no doubt that members will come out as better stewards. There is an aspect of this team though that is almost something that can only be experienced. When a group of students with so much passion, determination, and grit come together with a shared goal to be better than the day before, really neat things start to happen. Each year the quality of cattle are getting better, the bull sale’s success is increasing, and people are starting to whisper. It is an honor this year to be apart of such an amazing team and to work with cattle that have such a big history and an even bigger future.” — Hailey Wood – Sacramento, CA Grace is a Sophomore at CSU studying Animal Sciences with a minor in Agricultural Business and plans to graduate Spring 2028. Outside of the Seedstock Team, Grace is a member of the CSU Ag Ambassadors and the Stockgrowers Association. After graduation she hopes to pursue a career in animal breeding and genetics within the seedstock beef cattle industry. Raised on her family’s ranch in Oregon, Grace has developed and shaped a passion for improving genetics and helping producers build more productive, efficient herds. She aims to be part of the next generation driving positive change and long-term progress in the beef industry. To date, Grace’s favorite part of the Seedstock Team has been the memories and relationships made with her team—spending long hours in the barn together washing heifers, having both light-hearted and deep conversations riding to bull sales or more colorful conversations in the picture pen. She has genuinely made friends that will last a lifetime and the Seedstock Team experience has completely changed the trajectory of her college career. When asked why future students should participate in the Seedstock Program at CSU, Grace said, “Joining the Seedstock Program gives you hands-on experience working with cattle every day, from evaluating genetics to helping with management and preparation for our annual bull sale. It’s challenging, it’s fun, and it teaches you skills and lessons that will stick with you long after graduation that you could never gain in a classroom. If you’re looking to grow as a producer, a teammate, and a future leader in the beef industry, this program is an amazing opportunity.” — Grace Stott – Redmond, OR

CSU Bull & Female Sale | 2.21.26

¬ Welcome to the 49th Annual CSU Bull & Female Sale

Nearly half a century of tradition and proven performance. Colorado State University is rich in tradition and the Annual Bull & Female Sale is no exception. As you preview the information to follow, please note that we are once again selling age-advantaged bulls. These bulls are ready to work and should be able to cover more females. Again, this year, you’ll find bulls and females from the CSU-Beef Improvement Center (CSU-BIC) at Saratoga, WY. We have partnered with CSU-BIC to deliver you registered Angus bulls born and raised at higher elevations. These cattle were brought to CSU-ARDEC after weaning and developed alongside the Angus and Herefords born and raised here near Fort Collins. Cattle from CSU- BIC will be identified as such later in this catalog. Listed on the following pages you will find performance, reproductive, and pedigree information, as well as EPDs on just over 40 bulls and females from a source you can trust. All cattle in the sale have tested free of persistent BVD. Every bull listed in the catalog has undergone a complete reproductive and soundness exam to ensure that they are ready to go to work for you. All females have been palpated safe in calf as recent as 30-days prior to sale day. After weaning, bulls and females were tested for gain and feed efficiency. All cattle listed here have been PAP tested by Dr. Tim Holt, DVM; and different than in years past, bulls continued to develop in Fort Collins at CSU-ARDEC through the summer and fall. To give you added confidence and assurance, Dr. Holt has provided more detailed explanation regarding PAP scores from moderate elevations. Hereford females and one group of commercial females spent the summer grazing at CSU-ARDEC at Fort Collins, CO. The other group of commercial Angus females listed here are from our CSU-Beef Improvement Center herd at Saratoga, WY; and like the bulls from CSU-BIC, they will be identified as such later in the catalog. Students enrolled in our Seedstock Merchandising courses have been heavily involved in the selection and preparation of animals for this year’s sale. The Seedstock Sales Management class, together with the Seedstock Merchandising Team, as well as others, have taken bull photos, written catalog comments, evaluated data, and helped to clip sale cattle. As I write this letter, Seedstock Team students are making final preparations on one pen of Hereford cattle that they will display and show in The Yards during the 2025 National Western Stock Show – a pen of Spring Yearling Hereford Heifers. Please be sure to ask the students about their time in Denver when you see them at our Annual Sale in February here in Fort Collins. This year’s sale will once again be at CSU-ARDEC in Fort Collins. We will sell cattle in the CSU-ARDEC Conference Center; some of you may remember it as the Taylor Center. As we carry Dr. Taylor’s legacy of “learning by doing”, what a privilege it is to sell cattle in a facility named for the man who founded the Seedstock Merchandising program at CSU! We have once again partnered with DV Auctions to provide our customers and community the ability to view the sale and bid online. We will be selling cattle on Saturday, February 21, 2026, at 11 a.m. If you will be bidding online, we suggest that you register to bid prior to Sale Day. If you have questions or are interested in bidding alternatives, please reach out to the sale representatives listed in the catalog. Come early on Saturday morning prior to the sale, we’ll have engaging conversations with industry leaders and foster industry connections at CSU-ARDEC. We’ll have the coffee on at 7:30, and at 8 a.m. we’ll have an engaging Cattle Chat with industry leaders. After which, there will be opportunity to connect with industry professionals and preview cattle until the sale starts at 11 a.m. It’s sure to be a great morning! We invite you to view the bulls any time prior to the sale at the ARDEC facility. Please reach out to any of the sale representatives listed in this catalog for more information on the sale and the cattle listed in this catalog. The Seedstock Team would love to preview the cattle for you before sale day; please contact Dr. Sam Cunningham to schedule a visit. Sale information and videos will be available online (https://agsci.colostate. edu/ansci). We are looking forward to sharing this year’s offering with you! Be sure to come early on sale day to join us for coffee and breakfast, connect with industry, visit with our students, and get a preview of the cattle. See you there!

*When selecting an animal based on a PAP measurement other factors besides those listed above should be considered such as genetics or pedigree, PAP EPD’s, Systolic/Diastolic pressures, breed and previous illness. *Special consideration should be given to the amount of time the animal was exposed to elevation prior to testing. The predictability and repeatability of the PAP measurement improve with longer exposure to higher elevation (minimum of 4 weeks is required). *This chart is based on animals greater than 10 months of age. Testing older animals (>12 months) results in a higher predictive and repeatability of the measurement. *Testing of younger animals (<12months) may result in a greater variability to the predictive and repeatability measurement. Definitions: *Repeatable or Repeatability percent is a term used to give strength to a given PAP score predicting that if a PAP retest was carried out later in life, then the score would be close to or within the same category as the original measurement. For example, a PAP measurement taken below 4000 feet only has a 40% repeatable percent meaning that a repeat test only has a 40% chance of staying within the same risk category as the original test. *Predictive Value—this term is closely related to repeatability percent but specifically says that the original score can accurately predict what that animal will retest in a higher elevation. *Risk—Defined as the likelihood of an animal developing pulmonary hypertension themselves or being at risk for having a genetic predisposition for the disease The ARDEC bull facility lies at an elevation of 5213 feet which puts the repeatability and accuracy of the PAP test in the 70-75% accuracy level meaning that those bulls testing above 50mmHG should be purchased for use in elevations below 5213 feet. The above chart can be utilized as a guideline for purchasing a PAP tested bull for use at your home ranch elevation and what number you should consider. It is always a good idea to have the animal retested at some point after the bull is at the home ranch for greater than 4 weeks.

The Norgren Family has supported the CSU Hereford herd and Seedstock Merchandising Team since 2008. Don loved Herefords and CSU and was proud to support their ventures. He took great pride in visiting with the faculty working with the herd and the team, offering sound Hereford advice and looking at their herd. Even after his passing in 2020, the Norgren Family has continued his involvement with the herd and the Seedstock Team. The CSU Seedstock Merchandising Team appreciates the continued support of the Norgren Family. We were fortunate to host them at ARDEC fall 2022 to update them on the current herd, as well as the team’s activities. It has been a pleasure to work with them to continue Don’s legacy.

49 th Annual Bull Sale

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. Accuracy (ACC), is the reliability that can be placed on the EPD. Accuracy will range from 0 to 1 with an accuracy closer to 1.0 indicating higher reliability. Accuracy is impacted by the amount of information that is included in the analysis including individual genotype and performance records as well as number of progeny and ancestral records. 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. Residual Average Daily Gain (RADG), feed efficiency expressed in pounds per day, is a predictor of a sire’s genetic ability for post-weaning gain in future progeny compared to that of other sires, given a constant amount of feed consumed. Dry Matter Intake (DMI), expressed in pounds per day, is a predictor of difference in transmitting ability for feed intake during the post-weaning phase, compared to that of other sires. Yearling Height (YH), expressed in inches, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit yearling height 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. Pulmonary Arterial Pressure EPD (PAP), expressed in millimeters of Mercury (mmHg), with a lower EPD being more favorable indicating a sire should produce progeny with a lower PAP score to decrease the risk of progeny contracting high altitude disease most commonly experienced at 5,500 ft or greater in elevation. Hair Shed EPD (HS) , expressed in units of hair shed score, with a lower EPD being more favorable. This indicates a sire should produce progeny who shed their winter coat earlier in the spring and has improved environmental adaptability in heat stressed areas and grazing endophyte-infected (hot) fescue. 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.

Calving Ease Maternal (CEM) , expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births, with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in first-calf daughters. It predicts the average ease with which a sire’s daughters will calve as first-calf heifers when compared to daughters of other sires. 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. Mature Weight (MW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of the difference in mature weight of daughters of a sire compared to the daughters of other sires. Mature Height (MH), expressed in inches, is a predictor of the difference in mature height of a sire’s daughters compared to daughters of other sires. 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 ($B), expressed in dollars per carcass, represents the expected average differ- ences in the progeny post-weaning performance and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires. This index assumes commercial producers wean all male and female proge- ny, retain ownership of these animals through the feedlot and sell on a carcass merit grid. Combined Value ($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.

Driving the science of better breeding There’s little room for error in the cattle business. Producers need the most advanced information to make smart selection decisions, and Angus Genetics Inc. (AGI) provides it through genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs). GE-EPDs have become the industry standard for herd improvement, building on decades of science-backed genetic evaluation tools originated and maintained through the American Angus Association ® , home to the largest and ever-growing single-breed beef cattle database. EPDs that traditionally contained all pedigree, performance and progeny information now also include results from available genomic, or DNA, tests. Breeders who use genomic technology give buyers access to AGI-generated GE-EPDs that provide:

Increased predictability and decreased risk for young and unproven animals due to enhanced accuracy of EPDs

Better characterization of genetics for difficult-to-measure performance traits (such as carcass traits, maternal traits and feed efficiency) The ability to make more rapid progress for traits that are important to you, due to: · more accurate selection · easier identification of genetic outliers · the ability to propagate young animals with confidence earlier in their lives

In fact, GE-EPDs on unproven animals have the same amount of accuracy as if they have recorded an average of 15 progeny, depending on the trait. That’s valuable insight, offered regularly through the breed’s weekly national cattle evaluation.
