You’re gonna love ’em!Salers • Salers Optimizer Composites • Angus

WWelcome to our 5th Annual “Meat and Guts” Performance Genetics Sale here at the ranch in Gardnerville, Nevada.We will continue to use the format of selling the bulls on video screen. This format has worked well for us the pastfew years. It is cleaner and less hassle behind behind the sale ring. We want the sale to have a comfortable feel to it.

We have enjoyed visiting with our friends and neighbors from across the western United States this past year, and themany favorable comments on the calves that were sired by our bulls. These calves continue to be born easy with alot of grow, and they feed well in the feedlot. Our bulls go into many different environments—from California toeastern Oregon and northern Nevada. The bulls go out and work and come back in good shape after breedingseason. We continue to focus on cattle that are moderate framed with good dispositions that feed well in the feedlotand have good carcass numbers; but most importantly, we want a cow that will stay in your program for years to come.

Our genetics have not changed a whole lot. We continue to purchase bulls from Jacobsen Ranches in Sun River, Montana, for our Salers herd.Our Angus bulls and females come from the herds of Rancho Casino and Dal Porto Livestock. We purchased the high selling bull at the Dal Porto/Rancho Casino sale last fall, a son of MCC Daybreak out of a Rito 6I6 dam. We think he will be an outstanding addition to our program. All ofthese programs are top notch and outstanding people to work with.

Again, our sale bulls are being developed at Snyder Livestock in Yerington, Nevada. Lucy does a great job of getting these bulls ready for the sale.The bulls meet the breeding requirements of Randy Wallstrum, D.V.M. This year we have added the Igenity® test for our bulls. Among other traits,it measures tenderness, marbling, docility and hair coat for being homozygous black. See page 16 for an explanation of the Igenity test results.We will also continue to ultrasound our bulls for ribeye and marbling. We try to provide as much information as possible to allow our customersthe opportunity to make sound decisions on their purchases.

New to our sale this year is Joe Gellings, Sunken Canyon Ranch, Buhl, Idaho. Joe also has purchased genetics from Jacobsen Ranches in the past.His breeding program and mine are very similar in bloodlines and demands on disposition and calving easy. Joe’s bulls should be a great additionto the sale. Joe is also a great person to work with. Visit with him on sale day.

We feel these bulls should add value to your program. We will continue to help you place your calves with a feedlot or an order buyerprogram; just give us a call and let us help you. We look forward to visiting with you and seeing you at our sale.Thanks so much for your continued support and confidence in ourbreeding program!

About EPDsThe available Expected Progeny Difference (EPD) numbers are included inthe catalog and were current as of 1/14/11, as reported by each individ-ual’s breed association. EPD is the prediction of how future progeny of eachanimal are expected to perform in each of the traits listed, relative to theprogeny of other animals listed in the breed database. EPDs are expressedin units of measure for the trait, plus or minus. Performance records allowyou to compare individuals of the same herd; EPDs allow you to compareindividuals within a breed. EPDs do not allow you to compare individ-uals of different breeds.

Interim EPDs may appear on young animals when their performance has yetto be incorporated into the American Angus Association National Cattle Eval-uation (NCE) procedures. This EPD will be preceded by an “I”, and may ormay not include the animal’s own performance record for a particular trait,depending on its availability, appropriate contemporary grouping, or dataedits needed for NCE.

Breed average for 2009-born Salers calves:CED +0.2, BW +1.8, WW +40, YW +76, MILK +20, MARB +.10, REA +.03Breed average for non-parent Angus bulls:CED +5, BW +2.0, WW +46, YW +83, MILK +22, MARB +.41, REA +.19Calving Ease Direct (CED) is expressed as a difference in percentage ofunassisted births, with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in first-calf heifers. It predicts the average difference in ease with which a sire’scalves will be born when he is bred to first-calf heifers.Birth Weight (BW) (pounds) is based on the measured birth weight ofprogeny, adjusted for dam age. The lower the value the lighter the calf atbirth and the lower the likelihood of a difficult birth. This is particularly im-portant when selecting sires for use on heifers.Weaning Weight (WW) (pounds) is calculated from the weight of prog-eny taken between 80 and 300 days of age. Values are adjusted to 205 daysand for age of dam. This EPD is the best single estimate of an animal’s ge-netic merit for growth to early ages.Yearling Weight (YW) (pounds) is calculated from the weight of progenytaken between 301 and 450 days of age, adjusted to 365 days and for ageof dam. This EPD is the best single estimate of a sire’s genetic merit for year-ling weight.Milk (pounds) is an estimate of an animal’s milking ability. For sires, thisEPD indicates the effect of the daughters’ milking ability, inherited from thesire, on the weaning and yearling weights of her calves.Marbling EPD (Marb) is calculated from numeric scores assigned to eachcarcass quality grade division. Data is adjusted to a standard carcass weightof 750 lbs. Positive EPD values indicate greater numeric marbling scores atthe same carcass weight.Ribeye Area EPD (REA) (square inches) is calculated from live animalultrasound measurements and carcass measurements of ribeye area takenbetween the 12th and 13th rib and adjusted to a 750 lb. carcass weight.Ribeye area is closely associated with percent retail product when carcassweight is held constant. Sires with more positive REA EPDs are expected toproduce better muscled and higher percentage yielding progeny at the samecarcass weight than will sires with lower REA EPDs.

Why Salers?Why Angus?Why Not?


“BALANCED BUSINESS”

Twenty-five years ago, Ward Ranches purchased its first Salers bull at the Western Spotlight

Salers Sale in Galt, California. We had an Angus-based commercial cow herd. The Salers were

new to the industry at the time. We tried them because of the calving ease and the marbling quality.

We started with 25 to 30 virgin Angus heifers that we bred to this Salers bull, making the calves 50%

Angus/50% Salers. The following fall when we calved these heifers, we were surprised at the calving ease

and the vigor in these calves. We were immediately sold on the two breeds being compatible with each

other. The Angus and Salers offered both the maternal and carcass qualities that we were interested in.

As we started to put together a purebred operation, we knew the qualities we had wanted in our commercial cattle operation,

and we worked toward producing bulls that would work for the commercial cattleman. We have tried for

generations now to build a cow herd that will produce bulls that pass on the traits that lead to

profitability for you, the rancher. We want to create moderate-framed individuals that are easy

fleshing and carry a lot of extra rib (i.e., guts). They need to have the ability to process the

grass and convert it into pounds of flesh. Another goal was to produce cattle that will have

optimal feed conversion in the feedlot.

Our philosophy is like that of a supermarket. We need to produce a quality product to put on

the auction block for the you, the shopper. We know that the Angus breed is known as the

“Business Breed” and that the Salers breed is known as the “Balanced Breed.” Research has

shown that both breeds demonstrate the traits for calving ease, maternal ability, weight gain,

feedlot performance and carcass merit. These two breeds, Angus and Salers, complement each

other. We are offering you purebred Angus bulls, purebred Salers bulls and composite

Angus/Salers bulls—whichever fits your individual program or preference.

Top 10 Reasons Why You Should Use Salers Genetics10. If you’ve lost calving ease. The calving ease of Salers is not only documented by extensive research, it’s also the single biggest reason progressive cattle producers use Salers

bulls on their cow herds. If you’re tired of pulling calves, tired of losing sleep, tired of paying for c-sections, then you need to take a serious look at the built-in advantagesof Salers’ “sleep well” genetics.

9. If you’re producing fewer pounds than you used to. Research shows that, bar none, Salers calves will produce more marketable pounds, and you’ll have better performance,conversion and health if you own them through the feedlot.

8. If you’ve lost hybrid vigor. Researchers say hybrid vigor, or heterosis, can result in a 15% improvement in performance and huge improvements in reproductive efficiency. Byusing Salers bulls, you’ll inject a healthy dose of heterosis into your cow herd—and improve your bottom line at the same time.

7. If you’ve lost red meat yield. Simply put, Salers carcasses hang up more pounds of saleable red meat than just about any breed in the business. And, for this reason, they’llput more dollars into your bank account if you sell cattle on carcass-pricing grids.

6. If you’ve lost marbling. Unlike other continental cattle, Salers cattle have long been known for their inherent ability to marble. Over the years, Salers carcasses have dom-inated some of the most competitive carcass quality competitions in the country, including the National Western Fed Beef Contest and the Great Western Beef Expo. They’vealso received high acclaim from packers and restaurateurs from across the country and play critical roles in the success of many branded beef ventures across the country.

5. If you don’t want to lose maternal and reproductive performance. Ask any breeder who has used Salers cattle, and the answer will be the same. Salers cattle have astonish-ing reproductive ability. They breed up in big country, hot country, cold country, in drought conditions and in blizzards.

4. If you’re serious about range or pasture management. Ask anyone who uses them: Salers cattle get out and move. They find grass where other breeds won’t go. And they’llutilize your pasture in more efficient ways than just about any other breed you can find.

3. If you want marketing options. Salers cattle will fit a variety of branded beef programs…everything from Laura’s Lean Beef to Certified Angus Beef.® In fact, CAB’s own re-search demonstrates that crossing Salers with Angus does not have a negative impact on marbling or on the ability of these crossbred cattle to qualify for the program.

2. If you want to improve the health of your cow herd. Over the years, just about every producer ASA has written about has mentioned how much the health of their cow herd—and their calf crop—improved once they introduced Salers genetics into their breeding program. Salers cattle are vigorous, healthy cattle. This trait is an enormous economicadvantage because it reduces your usage of, and dependence on, antibiotics and other pharmaceutical products. This means more live cattle in your program, fewer “chron-ics” and more pounds to sell each year. Simply put, by using healthier Salers cattle, you’ll save time, money, labor and vet bills in the long run.

1. If you’re concerned with disposition. Salers producers have committed ourselves to producing and marketing quiet, easy-to-handle Salers cattle. If you haven’t used Salerscattle for a number of years because of concerns over disposition, you should take a second look this spring. We’re certain you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how quiet andeasy to handle these cattle have become, and how much better your cow herd will be by using this great breed of cattle.

SUNKEN CANYON RANCHJoe & Cheryl Gellings, Buhl, Idaho • (208) 543-2270 • Cell (208) 308-6901

A third-generation eastern Idaho potato farmer, I went to work right out of high school on the family farm. Cheryl and I married in 1975 andstarted in the cattle business by purchasing 125 Herefords. In addition to raising potatoes and cattle, we also grew grain and alfalfa andcustom fed excess hay. Dean Shenton, whom I custom fed for, brought in some Salers cattle and I fell in love with them!

We purchased Salers bulls from Lacey Ranches to use on our commercial cattle, loved the results and went further, purchasing foundationfemales to start our registered herd. We never looked back, running as many as 175 mother cows and continually wanting to improvegenetics. We’ve purchased bulls from what we feel have been some of the best programs in the Salers breed. As much as we enjoy the cattle,we have also enjoyed the people and fellow cattlemen we’ve met along the way.

Recently we purchased half interest in the 2009 National Champion Bull, H&S Tonka. Proudly so, we’ve now been in the Registered Salersbusiness for more than 20 years. We consign annually to the Salers Supreme, Denver National and Idaho Salers sales as well as private treaty.

We have two daughters—Alicia, who has special needs, has always enjoyed being around the cattle, and Whitney showed Salers cattle whileparticipating in 4-H for several years. Whitney and her husband now have two children, Hayden and Delainee. We’re looking forward tohaving our grandchildren show their first calf.

Having recently downsized our herd has allowed us to concentrate even more on quality rather than quantity. We think you will agree thatour small offering to the Ward Ranches sale is an outstanding set of bulls, added to Gary’s lineup. We’re very excited to have Gary invite us tojoin him in this annual event and are looking forward to serving all our past, present and future customers.

Sincerely,

Joe and Cheryl Gellings

IGENITY® RESULTS KEY


As a means to provide potential customers with additional genetic informationto aid in the selection process for the economically important traits, our 2011sale bulls have been tested for numerous traits. Using the power of DNA, Igenityhelps you understand and manage the potential for animals to perform andtransmit traits of economic importance.This chart illustrates the Igenity test results presented for each bull in thecatalog:

Carcass QualityThe Igenity profile score for Tenderness score represents animals’ geneticpotential for tenderness as measured by the Warner–Bratzler Shear Force(WBSF) test, with 10 being the most tender and 1 the least tender.The Igenity profile scores for Quality Grade and Marbling reflect extremelypowerful multiple marker analyses which are indicative of an animal’s potentialfor intramuscular fat deposition and Choice or better Quality Grade carcasses.The Igenity profile score for Marbling Scores translate to the 100 to 999 scale,where 400 represents low Choice. Marbling score is particularly useful indeciding between animals with similar marbling EPDs or ultrasound data.The Igenity profile for Quality Grade reflects the percent Choice or higher—so64.4% more animals with an Igenity Quality Grade score of 10 will grade Choiceor higher than animals with a score of 1.

Carcass CompositionThe Igenity profile scores for Yield Grade, Ribeye Area and Backfat Thicknessare calculated using multiple DNA markers that reflect the animal’s geneticpotential for these traits. For example, animals with an Igenity profile score of10 for Ribeye Area will have a 2.56 inch larger ribeye than animals which scorea 1. Ribeye Area is scored in square inches, Backfat in inches, and Yield Gradein Yield Grade scores (1-5). These Igenity results provide a more completepicture of the Carcass Composition potential for an animal.

Maternal and Reproductive TraitsReproduction is arguably the most economically important trait for cow/calfproducers. Heifer Pregnancy Rate is a heifer’s chance at becoming pregnantover a normal breeding season, relative to other heifers.Stayability is the chance a heifer will remain in the herd until at least six yearsold, relative to other animals.Maternal Calving Ease is measured as the percentage of unassisted births. Ahigher value is greater calving ease. These Igenity profiles can be used to makereplacement heifer decisions as well as be used to select future maternal sires.

DocilityCalm cattle are not just about handler safety. Calm cattle eat more, have betterresponse to vaccinations and preconditioning and are more tender. The Igenityprofile for docility is the animal’s genetic potential to be extremely calm, or tohave calm offspring. Higher scores from Igenity for this trait indicate a higherpercentage of calves that possess acceptable behavior.

Coat ColorThe Igenity Coat Color analysis looks at the genes that determine red or blackcoat color. Results are reported as Yes (Homozygous Black) or No (Not Homo-zygous Black). The black gene is dominant over red. Black animals may carryone or two copies of the black gene. Only homozygous black animals will have100% black offspring. The result of this test is presented for the black Salersbulls in this sale book.

NR (No Result)Some samples may look normal but still are unable to produce acceptableresults. This often occurs due to contaminants that are undetectable to thenaked eye, dirt, mold or other foreign matter.

We invite you to learn more about applying these test results by visitingwww.igenity.com for additional information.

Using the 1 to 10The values listed in thechart at right reflect therelative difference expectedin animals compared tocontemporaries with anIgenity profile score of 1.Higher scores are notnecessarily better—it justmeans that the animal hasthe potential for more of thattrait. For the most informeddecisions, use Igenity profilesin conjunction with otherselection and managementtools, like conformation andEPDs. Select the scores whichare best for your animals andyour operation.
