ostrand angus 15th annual production sale

Dear Beef Producers, Danielle and I would like to welcome you to our 15th Annual Production Sale. Again, this year we will be joining together with the Slagle Family to host the event at their sale facility located northwest of Sargent, NE. We are very grateful for the continued partnership we have shared with Mark and Kristin since purchasing the mature cowherd from them in 2012. All the cattle with the prefix “O A” have been bred, born and grown at our ranch south of Ansley, NE. In addition the Sla-gle’s have also developed 40 powerful bulls at their Ranch where the sale is held. This offering of bulls and females are bred to perform and are full of end product merit. I am very pleased with the consistency of this group of cattle from front to back. Regardless of your marketing strategy, we feel that this set of bulls will sire calves that are sure to add pounds to your bottom line on sale day. The momma cows that have produced this group of cattle are excellent in terms of fertility, maternal performance, disposition, mothering ability and udder quality. We have worked very closely with our nutritionist to develop these bulls with our customers in mind. Our main focus is to produce sound footed, athletic breeding bulls that will handle the first breeding season with fewer problems. The females in this offering are heifers that have typically been retained as replacements for our herd. We have kept few-er replacements this year allowing some of our best to be offered on this production sale. We have worked hard to provide as much data on this offering as possible to assist you in the selection process. If we can answer any questions or assist in any way, please don’t hesitate to call or email us. Thank you for your interest in our breeding program and we look forward to seeing you on February 17 at the Slagle Ranch. - Kory & Danielle Ostrand Kory’s Cell: 308-870-0660

Welcome to Slagle Angus for our annual Ranchers Bull Sale! Thank You for your interest in our program and the cat-tle we will be offering at our 2016 production sale. We are again hosting the Ostrand Angus Family as we combine our annual sale for the third year. Combining the production of our two individual herds into one production sale allows us to offer high quality, performance bred Angus cattle to our customers in volume. This volume of production allows us to sort deeper and only offer the top end from both herds. The cattle are bred very much alike, yet the variety of our individual breeding programs allows more genetic selec-tion for both repeat and new customers.

As you evaluate the sale offering, you will find cattle that have been selected for generations to perform. This per-formance will be relevant on the range, in the feedlot and

on the rail. The entire Slagle Angus offering has performance EPD’s and $Values averages that rank in the top 1% of the breed for Yearling Weight EPD and for $Feedlot value. They also average in the top 2% for Weaning Weight EPD and the top 4% for $Beef. The maternal values of these bulls average in the top 25% of the highly maternal Angus breed. These EPD’s and $Values are backed up with an average gain on test of 4.51 pounds per day for a 116 day test period. They were measured for carcass quality posting average adjusted Ribeye measurements of 14.6 sq. inches and an adjusted Marbling score of 5.2 % IMF. The volume discounts, breeding guarantees, boarding and delivery programs are all described in the catalog. Be sure to check either of our websites for the videos of the entire offering. If you have any questions give us a call any-time. Thank you for your interest in our breeding program and we hope to see you February 17th at the ranch. - Mark & Kristin Slagle Mark’s Cell: 308.215.0031 www.slagleangus.com

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (Nov. 4, 2015) An ideal beef steer is one you can profitably produce again and again to earn premiums on a value-based grid. That’s the premise Paul Dykstra used in presenting “How to build the perfect steer” at the Angus Means Business National Convention & Trade Show Nov. 2-4 in Overland Park, Kan. Dykstra has worked with feedlots as a beef cattle specialist for the Certified Angus Beef® (CAB®) brand for the past 13 years, managed the USDA Meat Animal Research Center’s feedlot be-fore that, and has a current interest in a commercial cow herd in western Nebraska. “I really believe we can do this,” he said, noting the need for performance “on the hoof, on the rail and on the plate.” People may differ on ideal production strategies for that ideal steer, Dykstra said. Some insist that focus on the feedlot can only come from terminal breeding programs, while others insist the steer must come from a system that also produces replacement heifers. “We’ll cross back and forth over that line as we look less at how, and more at what we need for a mainstream target like the Certified Angus Beef brand,” he said. The feedlot pen rider knows what the industry does not need. Dykstra told the conference crowd, “You do not want him to be-come familiar with your cattle.” Although “diversity is alive and well” at commercial feedlots, greater uniformity among penmates must be an overall goal. Nobody produces just one perfect steer at a time, but rather a group of contemporaries, he said. Dykstra referred to data from Professional Cattle Consultants showing average feed conversion for all steers in 2015 at 6.2 pounds (lb.) of feed to produce a pound of beef. “I’m more familiar with ranch-direct or calf-fed steers, where we should target a feed conversion ratio of 5.6 [and 6.4 on the yearlings]. Moving up from 6.2 to 5.6 means $56 less feed cost over the finishing period,” he said. “By comparison, average daily gain (ADG) is less important and only moves about $10 or $15 going from average to ideal,” Dykstra said. That’s despite lofty targets such as 5 pounds (lb.) per day for yearlings and 3.8 lb. for calf-feds, compared to the 3.2-lb. average. Why would ideal ADG not pay more? Because any impact comes from timing, along with accrued yardage and interest, he explained. Of course, timing can make a lot of difference when a seasonal market high is involved. Overall, “a window of optimiza-tion is appropriate for daily gain,” Dykstra said.

EARNING THOSE PREMIUMS Accessing rewards for producing the perfect steer means sell-ing on a packer grid, Dykstra said, explaining the basics of premi-ums, discounts and plant averages, showing an example. “We ended a long-term trend of nearly flat quality-grade makeup in 2007 to where quality grades have really taken off, coinciding with a move to camera grading and feeding to heavier weights,” he said. Some may see a downside to the U.S. fed-cattle average grade moving from 60% Choice to 70% in the last eight years: Grids

reward above-average quality, and that bar has moved up. “Granted, there may be $7 per head less premium there, but that’s no deal breaker,” Dykstra said. “It’s almost negligible. We should bank the $20 for making Choice and move right on to grab the $54 on most of the cattle in that ideal pen earning the CAB premium, and even $140 for those making Prime. “Depending on your production system, Prime may not be the most realistic target as it is less than 5% of the mix currently,” he said, “but if you want to aim for Prime, you have the right breed. And for the ideal steer, Prime cannot be denied.” A perfect pen of steers, featuring 100% Choice, 60% CAB and 20% CAB Prime, would earn $68.62 per head in quality premi-ums in the example grid, but that’s not the complete picture. Yield grade (YG) is a grid component that addresses the im-portance of muscling, with relatively small premiums paid for the numerically leaner 1s and 2s and 3s at par value, and significant discounts for 4s and 5s, Dykstra explained. YG 1 is not the target, however, and the ideal pen would turn out just 3% at the leanest level, with 44% YG 2 and 45% YG 3 while allowing 8% YG 4s, to earn $15.95-per-head average premiums ($21.80 per head if all YG 4s were kept on the YG 3 side of the line). Remember, these premiums are on top of the larger qual-ity-grid total. Aiming for Prime without adequate genetic potential or co-ordinated management often leads to YG discounts, typically because the ribeye is too small. A 900-lb. carcass requires a 14.2-inch ribeye for a near-ideal YG 2.5. Dressing percent also relates to ribeye and muscling, often with more impact on the grid price than YG variations. While the industry average is 63.5%, Dykstra said a full percentage-point increase to 64.5% is a target that would add $33 per carcass. Summing up requirements and targets, he concluded that the ideal steer carcass is a 900-lb. Prime CAB, YG 2.9 with that 64.5% dress, after live feed-to-gain conversion at 5.6 and gaining 3.8 lb. per day as a calf-fed (see Table 2). Once considered lacking in efficiency, Angus feeders now offer some of the best conversion rates in the industry, he added. “No matter where you are or what your goals or production system may be, the Angus breed has the diversity and the bulls to get there,” Dykstra said. Dykstra spoke during Angus University’s educational block fo-cused on 21st Century Cattle Production. The educational series was sponsored by Merck Animal Health.
