RIPPE GELBVIEH 28 TH Annual Bull Sale 112 Balancer ® , Gelbvieh & Angus Bulls, SATURDAY, MARCH 14 • 1:00 P.M. Complimentary Lunch • 12:00 SALE LOCATION: Fairbury Livestock Company Fairbury, NE
Cattle Fax presentation with Troy Applehans March 13th, 2026 7:00 PM
Greetings Cattlemen & Cattlewomen: Sometimes I can’t believe how good this market truly is, I hope it continues for the rest of my life. Fertility continues to be a problem in the commercial cattle industry and Gelbvieh excels in fertility and longevity. I continue to preach every commercial cowherd needs some Gelbvieh in their herd, so they last. Rippe Gelbvieh has continued to assemble a cow herd that is balanced in ALL traits that are economically important to our customers – commercial cattlemen. We have a complete lineup of Balancer and Purebred Gelbvieh bulls that have enough genetic variation to compliment your cow herd and allow you to take full advantage of the “free lunch” that heterosis and hybrid vigor offer. In my eyes, what sets us at Rippe Gelbvieh apart is how much we are tied into the cattle business. My dad, Duane, manages the cow calf and farming operation. I, Dustin, own and operate Roode Feedyard at Fairbury, NE. I buy a lot of customer calves and feed out our own each year. This allows us to collect carcass data back on many, many individual animals. I want to emphasize this is not a side business for us, we both make our living in the cattle industry and are really passionate about its future. Joel Cast is also very instrumental in this operation. Joel knows the cattle as well as anyone. I can point out a cow 50 yards away and he can tell me what cow it is along with 2 generations back in her pedigree and what the birthweight was of her last calf. We couldn’t manage this herd or collect the data we do without him. Many places preach maternal. How can they preach maternal without taking cow weights and looking at cow efficiency? Joel takes pride in taking an udder score on every cow that calves. Every heifer is DNA’d prior to being selected as a replacement. Not many operations can match the genetic lineup we are offering. It isn’t by chance. We run a very large seedstock herd and are very aggressive in our AI and ET program along with owning some of the best bulls in the business. From a carcass standpoint, we have as much actual kill data as anyone in the country. We ultrasound the bulls and heifers each and every year. It is our hope that the information we track is valuable to you when you are selecting bulls. I won’t buy a bull that is not sire verified. I won’t buy a bull without knowing the udder on the dam. I won’t buy a bull that doesn’t have genomics. You shouldn’t either. We will be posting additional information on a supplement sheet prior to the sale on our website. Please call ahead of the sale and we can go over your program and your program’s needs. Duane & Dustin Rippe

They will be BVD tested and had their Lepto shot along with being poured with an Cydectin type product before delivery. Most Importantly, all bulls are raised on our operation under our guidance. This is not a consignment sale and we have no cooperators. The supplement sheet will be available on sale day and on our website about 3 days prior to the bull sale. It will contain Yearling Weights, Ultrasound information, Scrotal measurments. Any information on the supplement sheet or announced on sale day will take precedence over the catalog Health: SCHEDULE OF EVENTS: March 8th 2026 Bulls & Brats 1:00 to 5:00 PM. Come Evaluate the bulls in person prior to the sale, at the ranch. March 13th 2026 Cattle Fax Presentation 7:00 PM. Come Listen to Troy Applehans give us an update on Agricultural markets. Meal Provided @ the Sale Barn.
Terms and Conditions: Cash on sale day. All cattle will sell under the recommended terms of the AGA. If you would like to be offered credit, please call Duane prior to sale day. We will be retaining 50% semen and certificate interest on every bull in the catalog unless it is noted different on sale day. Guarantee: The cattle are guaranteed to be fertile and reproductively sound. All bulls selling come with a first-year breeding-season guarantee against injury or infertility issues. “Breeding season” is defined by the time of turnout to 60 days later. All bulls will have passed a semen evaluation before being delivered. If any fertility problems happen during the first breeding season, a replacement bull will be available until the purchased bull’s long- term fertility can be determined. If a bull sustains a breeding injury during the first breeding season, a credit on a future bull purchase will be given. If a bull sustains an injury or fertility issue, we ask that it is evaluated and treated immediately by a veterinarian and a report is provided by the veterinarian doing the evaluation. If the vet determines the bull is no longer a fertile and mobile breeder, the following formula will be used to determine credit issued on a future purchase: purchase price – salvage value - $2,500 (if injury related) = credit. Volume Discount: If you purchase five or more bulls in one year, you will receive 5% off the price of each bull. Sight Unseen Purchases: If you can’t attend the sale and you want to buy call Dustin Rippe about your different purchasing options. We handle several customers bull purchases each year. If the bulls don’t meet your approval when we unload them, you don’t own them. Delivery & Trucking: Free delivery within 300 miles of Hubbell, NE. For all bulls further than 300 miles, we will make every effort to accommodate the buyer. Delivery will not exceed $300/bull to a central location. Any bull taken on sale day, we will deduct $100 from the bill. Transfers: Registration papers will be transferred upon request. Liability: Neither the sale host, sale facility, sale management, nor the auctioneer assumes any liability for any accidents that may occur. Genetic Information: All lots have had a HD 50K test, and the EPD’s listed reflect the 50k enhancement. The test verifies parentage and increases predictability. All animals are tested free of any known genetic defect. ET Bulls: The ET bulls are raised by a surrogate mother. Therefore, the bulls actual birth weight and weaning weight are not a representation of the bulls genetics. Consequently, we have chosen not to provide this information as it is inaccurate. EPDs do a much better job of showing the genetic value of these bulls.

INDEXES
Maternal Profit Index (MPI): In this production scenario, Gelbvieh bulls are mated to Angus-based cows with surplus calves marketed at weaning, with replacement heifers retained from the calf crop. EPDs weighted in this index are Calving Ease Direct (CED) and Maternal (CEM), Weaning Weight (WW), Milk (MILK), Mature Weight (MWT), Dry Matter Intake (DMI), Stayability (STAY), and Heifer Pregnancy (HP). Mature weight is the primary driver and represents the significant cost of maintenance energy requirement in the cow- calf sector. Weaning Weight and Milk (expressed in pounds of calf weaning weight) represent the principal revenue stream. Stayability helps account for differences in replacement costs in the system and the effect of heifer retention on revenue streams. This index should be used by commercial cattlemen whose production scenario includes the traditional marketing of calves at weaning and replacement retention from the herd. Feeder Profit Index™ (FPI™): Envisioned as a completely terminal index, FPI assumes all calves are marketed as finished beef carcasses priced on a value-based grid. Thus, it shouldn’t be used in production scenarios where replacements are kept from these matings. The new FPI formulation more precisely weights Economically Relevant Traits (ERTs) available for selection, including the key carcass traits of Carcass Weight (CW), Ribeye Area (REA), and Dry Matter Intake (DMI) that were not included in the original formulation. The new FPI also weights Fat Thickness (CFAT), post-weaning Average Daily Gain (ADG), and Calving Ease Direct (CED). Carcass value determined by carcass weight, quality, and yield grade influencing traits accounts for approximately 75% of the index as principal revenue drivers. Dry Matter Intake (DMI) captures differences in expected costs to the terminal carcass endpoint. Total Profit Index (TPI): Combining replacement female retention from the herd with carcass endpoint for marketed surplus heifers and all steers, TPI balances both maternal and terminal selection criteria. Because of the challenges faced by commercial cattlemen by the antagonisms in selection for this production scenario, TPI includes the largest and most diverse set of EPDs in the model, including carcass traits as the primary revenue drivers with cow Mature Weight (MWT), Stayability (STAY) and Dry Matter Intake (DMI) as cost drivers.

Homozygous : If an animal is homozygous for polled or black, you will not have a horned or red calf born out of this sire. If an animal is heterozygous, it carries one allele for either horned/polled or red/black. Heifer Bulls If you see a bull with an Rippe Gelbvieh believes it is a heifer bull. Udder: The first number is suspension and second references teat size. 9 is ideal. It represents very small teat size and very tight udder suspension. 1 represents very large, ballooned shape teat and a very pendulous suspension. Doc = Docility: 1 - The bull is content standing alone. 2- The bull is nervous when standing in a pen alone. 3 – The bull is looking for a hole in the fence when alone. 4 – The bull is looking to chase you out of the pen. Percent Gelbvieh: We rounded every bull to the nearest 1/8 in Gelbvieh percentage. H H

These Bedrock sons are an exciting new sire group. I had the privilege of seeing the Dam of Bedrock in person and she is one of the best Angus cows in the breed. It is disappointing at the time of printing this catalog these Bedrock sons don’t have MPI or TPI but should by sale time and they will rank high. This bull is very sound and thick. Out of all the Balancer bulls in the breed to sell this sale season he ranks 81st for FPI. Look at his EPD profile. Top 25% CE, 15% BW, 20% WW, 20% YW, 15% CEM, 2% CW, 4% MB, 2% FPI.
