Dear Friends and Livestock Producers, It is our pleasure to invite you to our First Annual Bull Sale on April 13th at Frontier Embryo Center in Hecla, South Dakota. First, we want to thank God and thank our customers who have supported our program over the years. Your trust has made this day possible, and we are truly grateful. We are Jonathan and Cesilia Dietrich, along with our family and the Caprock crew. For the past 10 years, we’ve been building Charolais cattle with a focus on soundness, longevity, and real-world performance. Ranching is a family effort for us from our youngest to our oldest, including nieces, nephews, and grandchildren everyone is involved, learning the value of hard work, good cattle, and strong faith. 35 years in the making As our program has grown, we were honored to acquire the R Lazy B Ranch Charolais herd, allowing us to continue offering the proven genetics customers have relied on for generations while introducing progressive bloodlines for the future of the breed. Robert’s dedication to disciplined breeding built a herd of foundation Charolais females known for maternal strength, longevity, and real-world performance. The bulls selling were born and summered on the same pastures and are developed on a growing TMR ration at our Hecla, SD location. They are raised with longevity and functionality in mind, cattle built to work. Cattle may be viewed at the feedlot anytime prior to the sale. We look forward to visiting with you, sharing a meal, and continuing to build a

TERMINAL SIRE INDEX (TSI) The AICA Terminal Sire Index (TSI) is a formal method of combining Expected Progeny Differences (BWT, WWT, YWT, REA, HCW, MARB and FAT) – into one single value on which to base selection decisions. The TSI uses estimates of the genetic relationships between traits with an economic default value based on three year rolling USDA data. The TSI represents a dollar index per terminal progeny produced for a bull in the AICA database, ranking them for profit potential. This dollar index is to be interpreted much like single trait EPD. For example, if Sire A’s index is $191.66 and Sire B’s index is $200.00, then we would expect Sire B’s offspring to average $8.34 more net return ($200.00 minus $191.66) than Sire A’s offspring. 2026 CHAROLAIS BREED AVERAGE CE BW WW YW M MCE MTL 11.2 -1.3 63.7 115.5 24.7 9.4 56.6 SC CW REA FAT MARB TSI 1.1 26.6 0.73 0.015 0.15 269.91
