Scan me to view our sale videos and DV Auction information!
Welcome It is with great anticipation and excitement that we welcome you to our 9th Annual Angus Production Sale “Focus on the Future!” With the new Functional Longevity, Teat Size and Udder Suspension EPDs, we’re further validating what we’ve been focusing on for years, females that produce a quality calf year after year, that are easy keeping, with good feet, excellent udder quality, smaller teat size, and give their calves the best possible chance for success, while making everything much easier for the producer. These genetics translate directly into our bulls and eventually go on to make an impact on our customer’s herds! We also strive to produce bulls and females that excel for docility and disposition, calving ease, growth, carcass and strong $ Values. With an unwavering emphasis on these traits, our goal is to make your operation and ours as economical, profitable and rewarding as possible. We always continue to “Focus on the Future!!” A few Sale Highlights include our Lot #1 Thompson Rise Above 527, a standout and only son of Rise Above to feature his level of CED, Weaning Weight, $M, and $W, with outstanding Functional Longevity and Heifer Pregnancy EPDs. Lot 11, Thompson Prolific 503, a bull stacked with $M and the only Black Angus Bull in the breed & top Ellingson Prolific Son with his elite combination of Heifer Pregnancy, Functional Longevity, Mar- bling and $M, as of this writing. We’re also featuring several curve-bending bulls, along with many excellent choices for calving ease, phenotype, and growth. We’re also very excited about this overall docility of this entire group. With the popularity of our females, we will be offering 2 stylish yearling heifers. They should make some exceptional cows that will work in the show ring, as well as, be a great addition to any commercial or registered herd. Both female lots in this sale will also come with 10 FREE Units of Semen from our ORIgen feature sire HCC Home Run 7307. At the end of the sale, we’ll also be offering 10 units HCC Home Run 7307 semen as Lot #21a. He has displayed his power and style with his offspring showing exceptional growth and genomic potential while producing outstanding daughters! He sired the dam of last years high selling bull, Thompson Jameson 403B.

American Angus Association Selection Tools
Maternal EPDs Heifer Pregnancy (HP) , is a selection tool to increase the probability or chance of a sire’s daughters becom- ing 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) , is expressed as a difference in percent- age 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 EPD (Milk) , is a predictor of a sire’s genetic merit for milk and mothering ability as expressed in his daughters com- pared to daughters of other sires. In other words, it is that part of a calf’s weaning weight attributed to milk and mothering ability. Teat Size EPD (Teat) , expressed in units of teat size score, with a higher EPD indicating a sire will produce daughters with smaller teat size compared to that of other sires’ daughters. Udder Suspension EPD (UDDR) , ex- pressed in units of udder suspension score, with a higher EPD indicating a sire will produce daughters with tighter udder suspension compared to that of other sires’ daughters. Functional Longevity EPD (FL) , ex- pressed in number of calves, is a pre- dictor of the number of calves a sire’s daughters are predicted to produce by 6 years of age compared to that of other sires’ daughters. A higher EPD is the more favorable direction indicating more calves produced on average.
Management EPDs Docility EPD (Doc) , is expressed as a difference in yearling cattle temper- ament, with a higher value indicating more favorable docility. It predicts the average difference of progeny from a sire in comparison with another sire’s calves. In herds where tem- perament problems are not an issue, this expected difference would not be realized. Claw Set EPD (Claw) , is expressed in units of claw-set score, with a lower EPD being more favorable indicating a sire will produce progeny with more ideal claw set. The ideal claw set is toes that are symmetrical, even and appropriately spaced. Foot Angle EPD (Angle) , is expressed in units of foot-angle score, with a lower EPD being more favorable indicating a sire will produce progeny with more ideal foot angle. The ideal is a 45-degree angle at the pastern joint with appropriate toe length and heel depth. Carcass EPDs Carcass Weight EPD (CW) , expressed in pounds is a predictor of the differ- ences in hot carcass weight of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires. Marbling EPD (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 EPD (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 differ- ences 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.
Expected Progeny Difference (EPD) An EPD is the prediction of how fu- ture progeny are expected to perform relative to progeny of other animals within the same database. EPDs are expressed in units of measure for the trait, plus or minus. Production EPDs Calving Ease Direct (CED ), is ex- pressed 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 EPD (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 EPD (WW) , ex- pressed 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 EPD (YW) , ex- pressed 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) , expressed in pounds per day, is a predictor of a sire’s genetic ability for postweaning gain in future progeny compared to that of other sires, given a constant amount of feed consumed. Scrotal Circumference EPD (SC) , expressed in centimeters, is a predic- tor of the difference in transmitting ability for scrotal size compared to that of other sires.

Maternal Weaned Calf Value ($M) , an index expressed in dollars per head, predicts profitability differences in progeny due to genetics from conception to weaning. $M is built off of a self-replacing herd model where commercial cattlemen replace 25% of their breeding females in the first generation and 20% in subsequent generations. Remaining cull females and all male progeny are sold as feeder calves. Increased selection pressure on $M aims to decrease overall mature cow size and improve foot structure and fertility while maintaining weaning weights consistent with today’s production. Weaned Calf Value ($W) , an index expressed in dollars per head, provides the expected difference in future progeny preweaning performance from birth to weaning. $W assumes that producers retain 20% of their female progeny for replacements and sell the rest of their cull female and male progeny as feeder calves. Over time, increased selection pressure on $W will increase weaning and maternal milk traits while also continuing to increase mature cow size. Feedlot Value ($F) , an index expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for postweaning merit compared to progeny of other sires. The underlying objective assumes commercial producers will retain ownership of cattle through the feedlot phase and sell fed cattle on a carcass weight basis with no considerations of premiums or discounts for quality and yield grade.

EPDS DIRECTLY INCORPORATED INTO EACH $VALUE MATERNAL TERMINAL
Combined Value ($C) , an index expressed in dollars per head, includes all traits that make up both $M and $B with the objective that commercial producers will replace 20% of their breeding females per year with replacement heifers retained within their own herd. The remaining cull heifer and steer progeny are then assumed to be sent to the feedlot where the producers retain ownership of those cattle and eventually sell them on a quality-based carcass merit grid. wean all male and female progeny, retain ownership of these animals through the feedlot phase and market these animals on a quality-based carcass grid. Grid Value ($G) , an index 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) , an index expressed in dollars per carcass, facilitates simultaneous multi-trait genetic selection for feedlot and carcass merit. $B represents the expected average differences in the progeny post-weaning performance and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires. This index assumes commercial producers

Dollar value indexes, or $Values , are a tool used to select for several traits at once based on a specific breeding objective. An economic index approach takes into account genetic and economic values as well as the relationships between traits to select for profit.
