WelcomeThank you for your time and interest. We are committed to making Gengenbach Cattle Co your source for the best quality Simmental andSimAngus seedstock. First we have built our program to the size that offers you more choices in quality genetics and all from one programmanaged the same—no cooperators. GCCR is ranked #2 for Simmental registrations in Nebraska and #14 nationally. We are also building aquality registered Angus herd. This year there will be 4 Angus bulls on the sale but check out our section on Angus to see what is comingfor next year.
Second you can see all the performance data, carcass data, pedigrees and epds in this catalog but you can trust that GCCR cattle must alsopass “real world” tests and meet our standards for disposition, soundness and maternal traits. And finally the bottom line—Wilson Feedyardfeeds out our steers every year and every year the steers have shown a profit.
Third, we are committed to providing customer service. In other words we expect the cattle to perform for you. We are here to help if youhave problems.
As before we are offering choices in type and style of bulls. All are bred to be balanced and to have maternal traits but there are differences inindividuals. Some have more frame and the most strength in growth and muscle such as the TopCut bulls. Some are more moderate in frameand have more strength in low birthweight calving ease and marbling such as the GAR Prophet and In Focus bulls. And most are somewherein the middle frame wise with all around balanced strengths such as the TJ Easy Money and SAV Con Air genetics. Check with us on your par-ticular needs and we can suggest the best bulls to fit your program.
Take this opportunity to use GCCR bulls and females to help you capture those record cattle prices. We invite you to join us for a family dayon sale day. Come have lunch with us and check out the cattle Friday, March 21. See you there.

MULTI-BREED CALVING EASEThe multi-breed calving ease EPDs are here! You will now see a number for calving ease (CE) and maternal calving ease (MCE) for the SimAngusanimals. Please notice that the base changed for the MCE. Which just means that the average is different than before, so make sure to take noteof the new average. Here are the current EPD averages for the Purebreds and the SimAngus:
The American Simmental Association and the American Red Angus Association have become partners for the purpose of EPD calculation. Inorder to make it easier for the customers, they have agreed to work on the same base, so this summer, watch for the EPDs to be on a new base.
The only thing you have to think about is to remember to look at the EPD averages to be able to compare the EPDs of each animal to the newaverage. It will not change the spread between any bulls or the meaning of each EPD. The base number will just be different for each trait. It willactually make it easier to compare animals across breeds.
To see the entire percentile tables for the purebreds and the hybrids, log on to www.simmental.org. *Note the EPDs in the catalog are Simmental and NOT Angus. Compare GCCR cattle EPDs to the Simmental breed average not the Angus whichare different.

Disposition
Quiet cattle with good disposition are a No. 1 requirement around here. Notice that the bloodlineswe bring in are high in docility. Then we cull strictly and eliminate any animal at any stage if they
are nervous or difficult to handle. Calves are socialized from an early age and handled in a quiet andeasy manner. And don’t let anybody tell you that a cow has to be aggressive to be a good mother,most of our cows are gentle but will also be very protective of a newborn. Now studies have come
out citing increased pregnancy rates with docile cattle. We have been seeing the studies showing thatquiet, calm cattle gain better and more efficiently in the feedlots. Thus there is an economic payoff to
docility along with the pleasure and increased safety of working with easy cattle.

Purchased from Joe Bata in North Dakota, Top Cut was the #1 growth son of the old Top Cut bull; whowas the No 1 growth bull in the breed for years. We brought in Top Cut to boost performance. He is abig and stout 6.5 – 7 frame bull who sires length, muscle and growth. He has a deep rib and flank andhas maintained excellent condition regardless. He is super sound and sires big stout rugged bulls thatcan cover cows in big pastures. These bulls do not have to be 2 years old to do the job. Use on cowsand you won’t have any calving issues. His sons work particularly well on Angus cows. We guaranteeyou will see a difference in added pounds on the scale at weaning and yearling weights.

health statement
It is our desire that bulls and females purchased from GENGENBACH CATTLE will have a long andproductive life. With that goal in mind we have implemented the following protocol:
All sale animals are ear notch tested for BVD and to this date no positive animals have been detected.All breeding females receive a pre breeding vaccination with a modified live BVD vaccine to help preventBVD persistently infected calves. At preg check cows are given killed vaccine for BVD, BRSV, IBR,Vibrio and Lepto. Calves receive vaccine for BVD, BRSV, IBR, Pasteurella and Clostridium in the springand at pre weaning and weaning. Cattle are dewormed in the fall with Dectomax injectable and treatedfor lice and grubs at that time also. Sale bulls and heifers will be poured with Dectomax prior to sale.
Dr. Lex ThompsonVeterinary ServicesImperial, NE 308-882-4838
Top selling PB Simmental bull at the 2008 Triangle J sale. Bonus is a calving ease bull who sires above average performancein all areas. He sired our top selling and performing bull in 2011 and our high weaning weight bull in 2012. Bonus is an easy
fleshing very smooth and attractive bull. Even better, he sires outstanding females and is a very high maternal trait bull.

We kept this younger bull because at weaning he weighed as much as many older calves. Out of a lowbirthweight dam this combination worked and he has continued his growth post weaning.
5/8 SM 3/8 AN Son of TJ Bonus Beef we retained. His dam is the legendary “Cookie” show heifer of our grandson, Grant. CB as we call him sired our topgrowth and top selling bull in 2012’s sale. He is a 6 frame plus, who sires a show look phenotype and exceptional growth.
With feed costs high, in today’s cattle feeding environment, you need an animal thatwill perform efficiently and hang a carcass that will generate premiums above “average”cattle. We have been feeding Gengenbach Cattle Co calves for the last seven years andthey have proven that they can do both. The gains are well above the yard average andthe conversions are as well. We have been marketing these cattle through the USPremium Beef grid in the spring and early summer. This grid works well for cattlethat grade choice and dress above the plant average as do the Gengenbach cattle. Thedisposition of the cattle is excellent which makes everyones’ job easier. It has been apleasure feeding Randy and Mary Jo’s cattle.

Lot 2 at Schaff’s 2012 Angus sale, Con Air was the lead off bull of the SAV Brand Name sire group. Kelly Schaff and Bob guided us to Con Air because we wanted docility, moderate birthweight, pheno-type and style with as much maternal and growth performance as we could get. One of their “A” rated bulls, Con Air according to Kelly and Bob was “one of the stoutest hipped bulls in the sale”. Excel-
lent fertility as we were able to get him collected and freeze quality semen right after the sale so that we were able to use him both natural service and AI. We are using him for daughters to build ourregistered Angus herd and to cross on our Simmental. He sires his own phenotype so that his calves are stylish, stout, long and deep ribbed with a big middle. Birthweights have been low to moderate,
growth and carcass has been good to excellent. There won’t be as many comments with his sons because they are so much alike.

We have been buying the top selling bull at the Schurrtop spring bull sale for the last 6 years. The Schurrtop bulls are outstanding for calving ease yet they grow out fast and earn carcass premiums.Every year many of the Schurrtop sired bulls sort to the top beating out many name AI sires. The Schurrtop sired females have made excellent cows for us and help us to improve calving ease,
reduce birthweights, earn carcass premiums and help maintain our growth and maternal traits.

Out of an Angus female that we raised, this bull is in the Simmental database. The dam produced a topselling Angus bull at a previous sale. Although young, we kept this bull because of his growth at weaning,however, his adjusted weight appears higher than realistic.

These registered SimAngusTM heifers are daughtersof a cross section of Angus and Simmental sires.For us the true test of a bull is in the daughters hesires. All of these heifers will make good cows.There will be a choice of type and style just aswith the bulls. Lots 78 and 79 are big powerful3/4 Simmental. The Angus sired females arelow birthweight calving ease heifers with amplebody. All heifers have been through a completevaccination program.

Commercial Heifers
40 Commercial HeifersThe commercial heifers are sired by Gengenbach Cattle herd bulls. They have been pelvic measured
and poured. The heifers will sell in groups of 5. They will be sorted into like groups. Weight averages of each group will be given sale day.
Thank you for
attending our sale!
Maternal Heterosis“The benefits seen from using a SimAngus bull on a mainly straight bred cowherd are subtle at first-slightly higher weaningweight, average daily gain and a higher calf survivability rate can be expected. However, research trials dated as far back asthirty years conclude the greatest advantage is an increase in overall cowherd production thanks to Maternal Heterosis. The cross-bred cow is 20 to 30 times more productive in her lifetime than a straight bred cow due to increased longevity, increased efficiency,reduced age at puberty, calf survival rate, and increased rate of gain.”
“Remember that all crossbreeding provides heterosis, but heterosis alone cannot fix poor genetics.”

Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs): EPDsare the most accurate and effective toolavailable for comparing genetic levels. Inusing EPDs, the difference between twosires’ EPDs represents the unit difference ex-pected in the performance of their progeny.For example, if sires A and B have EPDs of+10 and –5, a 15-unit difference would be ex-pected in their progeny (moving from -5 to+10 yields 15 units). Key to using EPDs isknowing what units they are expressed in.For example, if the above case referred toweaning weight EPDs, A would be expectedto sire 15-pounds more weaning weight thanB. If calving ease were the trait, A would beexpected to sire 15-percent more unassistedbirths in first-calf heifers; in other words, ifB sired 30 assists in a group of 100 heifers,we’d expect A to require 15 assists. A per-centile-ranking chart is required to deter-mine where a bull’s EPDs rank him relativeto other bulls in the breed. For percentilerankings or more detailed information aboutEPDs and $ indexes visitwww.simmental.org. Listed below are theunits ASA EPDs are expressed in:
All-Purpose Index (API): Dollars per cow exposedunder an all-purpose-sire scenario. (Seebelow for more details.)
Back Fat (BF): Inches of backfat.Birth Weight (BW): Pounds of birth weight.Calving Ease (CE): Percent of unassisted births
when used on heifers.Carcass Weight (CW): Pounds of carcass weight.Maternal Calving Ease (MCE): Percent of unas-
sisted births in first-calving daughters. Milk (MLK): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk.Marbling (MRB): Marbling score.Maternal Weaning Weight (MWW): Pounds of
weaning weight due to milk and growth.Ribeye Area (REA): Square inches of ribeye.Warner-Bratzler Shear Force (WBSF): Pounds of
force required to shear a steak.Stayability (STAY): Percent of daughters remain-
ing in the cowherd at 6 years of age. Terminal Index (TI): Dollars per cow exposed
under a terminal-sire scenario. (See belowfor more details.)
Weaning Weight (WW): Pounds of weaning weight.Yearling Weight (YW): Pounds of yearling weight.Yield Grade (YG): Yield grade score.
$ Indexes: Though EPDs allow for the comparisonof genetic levels for many economically impor-tant traits, they only provide a piece of the eco-nomic puzzle. That’s where $ indexes comein. Through well-conceived, rigorous mathe-matical computation, $ indexes blend EPDsand economics to estimate an animal’s overallimpact on your bottom line. The same technol-ogy that led to the dramatic progress in swine,poultry and dairy genetics over the last sev-eral decades was used to develop the following$ indexes:
All-Purpose Index (API): Evaluates sires for useon the entire cow herd (bred to both Angusfirst-calf heifers and mature cows) with theportion of their daughters required to main-tain herd size retained and the remainingheifers and steers put on feed and sold gradeand yield.
Terminal Index (TI): Evaluates sire for use on ma-ture Angus cows with all offspring put on feedand sold grade and yield.
Using API and TI: First, determine which index touse; if you’re keeping replacements use API, ifnot, TI. Then, just as with EPDs, zero in onthe unit difference between bulls. (As de-scribed above, index units are in dollars percow exposed.) The difference can be used todetermine how much a bull is worth comparedto another. Or, put another way, how muchyou can pay for one bull compared to another.For example, when buying an all-purpose-typesire, you can quickly figure a bull scoring +100for API is worth an extra $6,000 over a+50bull if both are exposed to 30 cows over 4 years($50 diff. x 30 hd. x 4 yr. = $6,000). A per-centile-ranking chart is required to determinewhere a bull’s index value ranks him relativeto other bulls in the breed.
