Welcome to our 15th Annual Sale!

15 years is a significant milestone. In some ways, it seems like only yesterday that we made the switch from private treaty sales to a production sale. In other ways, it seems like we’ve been at this forever. When you look back to 2003, there have been many changes. We went from little kids in the house (Laura Carpenter was a toddler!) to fully launched adults, a college kid and a ‘baby’ who’s graduating from high school this year.

What hasn’t changed is our mission of bringing you cattle for the long-haul. We’ve never chased trends because what’s today’s latest and greatest can be tomorrow’s disaster. And that disaster can have impacts for years down the road. When breeding for carcass traits became possible, we found not all those bulls came with solid maternal abilities and we had a couple of years of expensive culling to do. Most ranchers return females to the herd, so your seedstock supplier better have your long-term best interests at heart. We pay attention to carcass, but never to the exclusion of practical traits.

We have what we consider a unique advantage. With both commercial herds and a feedyard, we can use our own genetics and make sure the breeding choices we make are working in both venues. Some of the newer EPD’s for non-carcass traits are a great start, but until we have more data input they are not stellar. That is why we use the star system on our bull tiles, to let you know what we have truly seen in the

cow families.

Our goal is optimize production, not maximize it. The biggest difference between those two terms is cost of production and longevity of the cowherd. We won’t have the most milk, or the most growth, but we strive to have a balance of all traits and require no pampering. Optimum, not maximum.

The proof is found in our base—our valued friends and customers. An astounding 80% of our business each year is with repeat customers. Some of those customers come from literally right across the fence. It means you’re recognizing the benefits our disciplined and very deliberate program brings to your bottom line. It means you appreciate our no funny stuff approach to everything we do. And it means you know you’re always treated with honesty & integrity.

We are so appreciative of our families for all they put up with and do. Long hours, tough work, special favors, and unfailing support. Our parents & non-ranching siblings also pitch in and help us pull this off every year. We couldn’t do it without ALL of them. We love you all.

The best part of being involved in the registered business has been the wonderful folks that we get to meet every day. The older we get, the more it becomes apparent that people enrich your life more than possessions, hands down. Thank you all for making the last 15 years so memorable and we look forward to

many more years of doing business with FRIENDS.

Thank you!

The Star System On all our bulls, we put a box of stars at the bottom. This lets us take multiple EPDs along with what we know about the cow families and the conditions of that production year and summarize it all for you. In other words, if they’re a 4 star Calving sire, we know that the shape of that bull, his data & pedigree and his mother’s history all combine to make him one we wouldn’t hesitate to use on heifers. 3 stars means we’d use him on heifers UNDER SUPERVISION. Does this mean one star is a cow-killer? Absolutely not. We would NEVER sell anything we would not use in our own herds. PERIOD. One star calving ease means use on mature cows without a history of problems. For females, we’re taking longevity, udder structure, fertility under range conditions, mature size, fleshing ability, etc into account. That a bull gets 3 stars means he probably has a young dam. Carcass & growth follow the same principles.

Actual Performance vs. EPDs EPDs take into account performance & ancestry of many individuals across different production systems, climates, herds, etc. instead of just one individual’s performance in one herd in one set of circumstances in that particular year. Therefore, we consider EPDs a better indicator of that animal’s genetic abilities than actual performance. When we take weights, measure scrotals or scan for carcass traits, we have some bulls who are older than the average by quite a bit, and some that are younger. The breed associations take that data and adjust it using many variables and come up with a standardized number so that bulls can be compared on a more even footing. For example, what would this bull have weighed at 1 year old (365 days) given that he weighed 1325 when he was 400 days old coming off test. This tends to overcompensate younger bulls and penalize older bulls, especially in a herd’s comprised of earlier maturing cattle. This is why we recommend you look at EPD’s over actual performance. That is also why an older bull with an 1150 lb actual yearling weight might have a 1050 lb adjusted YW yet a higher YW EPD than a younger bull with a heavier ADJUSTED YW. Clear as mud?

Back by popular demand: Bulls Will Sell in Catalog Order!!!!

In order to make life easier for you, we are going to sell bulls in the same order they’re printed in the catalog. Please do not read anything into the sale order itself. The order is dependent on who would pen with whom (and not fight!) and how the bulls fit on a page with any available pictures. It is not meant to imply that any one bull is better than another!

The Summer of Pinkeye

Like many in our area, we had a breakout of pinkeye like we’d never seen before in 2016, when these bulls were calves. This was a new kind of pinkeye for which there was no commercial vaccine; we had to have one made from cultures. This outbreak affected cows & calves and as a result, you’ll see reduced weaning weights. You’ll also notice a couple of spots, but those bulls see fine and are guaranteed.


There was a hold-up at the lab on 7 samples (one which we had to retake). At press-time, not all the GE-EPDs were available and you’ll see that noted in red on the affected bulls. When available,

they’ll be on the website and also on a supplement sheet. The same is true for the registered heifers.

Genomics can significantly change EPDs, so don’t be surprised when they do. We believe they’re a valuable piece of the puzzle, but are certainly not the whole story. Some of the markers seem to hurt the older pedigrees you’ll find their EPDs really go down when the genomics come in. I have made some comments about those bulls in their tiles.

Why So Many Super Bowl Sons?

The answer is two-fold. We loved DRI Super Bowl Z115, love his mom, and love the progeny. They’re moderate, but with lots of muscle hung on super-sound structures. We collected semen & he was a great producer. Then we discovered the

conception rates were really good. As more progeny matured, his numbers got better & better. Now he’s top 10% for WW & YW. Top 15% Heifer Pregnancy. Top 15% & 30% for REA and marbling. Finally, top 10% for $Wean, $Grid, & top 5% for $Beef.

When illness dictated we had to make some spur-of-the-moment breeding decisions in 2015, we knew we had a can’t-miss bull and bred a whole bunch of cows to him, a really smart move on our part. He’s that good.

2nd high marbling in the pen with an actual %IMF of 5.05 with .19” BF. That means he was grading choice as a lean bull. 99, 106, 103 ratios for BW, WW & YW give you real performance. Great dam with 11 calves. Genomics really hurt EPDs; He had a +59 WW & +100 YW before DNA went in.

Too young to contemp with the pen, but that doesn’t negate his performance. He’s a heifer bull under supervision who would also bring in the pounds at weaning or yearling. Pretty darn impressive data set all the way around. He is his dam’s last calf, but she’s left lots of daughters in the herd.

Both young men are an important part of Kniebel Cattle Co & Kniebel Farms. Thank you gentlemen!

Spencer Jones joined DRI in late September 2016, right before last year’s sale. Spencer has a MS in Ruminant Nutrition and brings his experience to DRI while maintaining his own operation just a few miles E.

Spencer takes us to a new level in customer relations and marketing, along with everything else he does. Call Spencer with any questions you might have about the cattle. He knows them well.

We think this synergy is working well and we’re looking forward to many more years to come!

Some Very Important People...

Bull Development...Our Philosophy

All of us in the ranching community have done a done a fabulous job of changing cattle genetics the last 30 years. We have increased production and efficiency while decreasing inputs; an amazing feat and one we’ll have to continue fine tuning if we’re going to feed 9 billion people in the future.

There are a few pitfalls to this advancement in production however, and they have to do with longevity of a replacement animal...both cows and bulls. A feedlot animal can be pushed to their genetic potential but doing so with bulls and replacement heifers can have serious negative effects productivity and especially longevity. Extreme performance comes with a price.

Cattle lay down fat everywhere, not just under the skin. That includes the scrotum of a bull. So what? Well, when July rolls around and that insulating scrotal fat decreases your bull’s ability to cool his testicles then his fertility plummets. There may be a few extra open cows show up in the fall and you really have no explanation. Was it the drought and heat? Mineral program? Grass quality? We have all kinds of suspects but how many times do you blame a fat bull? It is a real problem and one whose effects are surely underestimated.

Exercise is another important consideration. Your bull needs to chase cows over big, rugged pastures. If his only ‘training’ has been waddling to the feed bunk, you are…. Well, you get the drift. And speaking of those rugged, rocky hills, if your bull has some sub-clinical damage to his feet from a high grain ration (think low level founder), then he may get too sore to go the extra mile. There are all sorts of these low level, subclinical problems that come from overfeeding a bull, and you can’t necessarily look at him and see them. But if he causes you a couple more open cows, that’s huge. Be picky about how your bull is developed, ask questions. And a reminder; never overfeed your bull when you get him home!

When we develop rations for bulls we try to think of the rumen health first, then feet and legs, while still feeding enough to see differences in genetic expression. A ration that is high roughage, has very little non-structural carbohydrates (like grain) and more of the slowly digestible products that maintain a healthier pH in the rumen is what we’re after. Remember, there are 2 types of ‘bugs’ in the rumen that handle digestion: one type digests grains and the other roughages. They do not like to live in the same pH level. The higher acidity of a grain ration for long periods, causes spilling over of acids and bacteria from the rumen into the bloodstream and leads to damage such as liver abscesses, leaky rumen walls, and founder. When we take a 3-4 week long, 5 ration step-up in the feedyard to bring new cattle up to a top ration, it is not because they won’t eat the top high grain ration to start with….it is because we are taking time to let the rumen organisms change from being mostly roughage digesters to predominately grain digesters. If you take them too quickly you can cause stomach upsets, diarrhea, the cattle go off feed and maybe have bloating issues. If not corrected, you get foundered animals too.

It truly is a balancing act, and bulls should never be fed like a terminal feedlot animal. The average backfat of our finished steers going to USPB this spring was .50”-.60” and we graded 99% choice and higher. The average backfat of the bulls at ultrasound scanning is .17”-.20” backfat. We’ve seen plenty of bulls with “finished” levels of backfat at scanning time around the country. Pay attention to the fat cover on the bulls you purchase and make sure you are not buying a problem.

Having said all that, fat at the right place & time is very important. In feedlot cattle, we’re after marbling and it’s full expression. As you all know, we still have a large commercial herd, and finish out of all our calves that are not kept as replacement heifers. We have put great emphasis on good carcass traits, but not at the expense of good females, since we need both. After 20 years of crafting our own bulls, KCC is very proud to say that 75% of this years bull offering is in the top 1/3 of the breed for carcass traits. A full 33% of them are in the top 10%!!

We are continuing to collect carcass data and save replacement females from our own bulls so we have confidence in the data and the genetics we offer.

Fit or Fat? The answer has more implications than you might think.

Your bull needs to chase cows over rugged pasture. If his only “training” has been waddling to a feed bunk, you (and your cows) are in trouble.

Bulls should never be fed like a terminal feedlot animal. Never.

There is power here with a fabulous cow family behind him. His dam weaned another 674 lb. bull a few weeks ago! He also ranks top 6% HPG, 7% YW, 13% WW and 16% MARB in the breed.

Did you know…. There are multiple marketing assistance programs available, both through the Red Angus Assn and through us at Kniebel Cattle Co.? For example, we have several customers who get their heifers pregnancy checked by mid September and we pool the open heifers and feed them out! This turns a culled animal into a much more profitable venture. None of us have enough for a load individually, but together we can make it work. We also feed calves for customers or help them place calves in a trusted feedyard that will get the data on their calves. There are many options to talk about, and we would love to visit with you about them and see if one is a good fit for your operation. As China opens up, there might be opportunity for sourced calves again. This is different from the past in one very important way...they HAVE to be tagged before they leave home, there is no backtracking. The Red Angus tag program is very easy to use and a cheap and easy way to have it all covered. In fact, we will buy a bag of 25 tags for every bull you buy/per calf crop as long as you own him. (If you use them spring and fall you get 2 bags!)

With over 2 million head enrolled, the Red Angus Feeder Calf Certification Program (FCCP) is the beef industry's most-experienced USDA Verified Genetic, Source and Age Program. The FCCP's "Yellow Tag" is recognized as the symbol of guar-anteed "Angus" genetics and a trusted source for both feeders and packers filling "Angus" product lines. Enhancing the value of Red Angus genetics since 1995, the FCCP builds reputation through source verification to the ranch of origin and, coupled with group age verification, provides access to export market premiums. To enroll Red-Angus sired calves in the program, con-tact program coordinator, Chessie Mitchell at chessie@redangus org or call the Red Angus Association at (940) 387-3502 Ext. 2. Free Feeder Cattle Marketing Service! Use Red Angus Feeder Fax to send descriptions of your feeder cattle and calves to feedyard managers and order buyers, who have expressed an interest in feeding Red Angus. Feeder Fax is FREE, and works for load lots of calves or yearlings. Whether you are selling through a sale barn, video auction or private treaty, Feeder Fax is available to help inform buyers of cattle you have for sale. Call Red Angus marketing, or call Mary Ann Kniebel to help you!

Opportunity… In most years, a calf crop averages pretty close to 50:50 steers and heifers. Not this year! We ran 80% heifers, and will be keeping more than normal since there are so many to choose. We will use the same parameters as usual, it just gives us more! That means we will offer more in the sale or possibly private treaty. If you have a burning desire to choose your own sires on a group of heifers, visit with us about the opportunity!

This is the first time we are offering registered bred heifers in the sale. They have a solid set of EPD’s and performance. In fact every one of them is a breed trait leader as represented by the % number under their EPD. These heifers are raised under the same conditions as our commercial cattle. They would make a great

addition to any registered herd, or a fabulous starter group for someone interested in joining the Red Angus community! They sell with the live-calf guarantee as on page 5. They will have a floor price of $2500.

Registered Black Angus Bred Heifers from DRI

31

For the 1st time ever, DRI is proud to offer Registered Angus heifers, bred and ready to calve in the spring. They represent YEARS of planned production for solid, reproductively sound and range hardy cows. The innate fertility is built in and ready to go. As our commercial customers know, these are not culls: you will have heart-of-the-herd females to either start a herd or your own, or add to an existing herd.

Complete EPDs with Genomics will be available on the website & on sale day. All have checked to calve to the clean-up bulls who are top-enders, every one. We will pay the fee to have the calves sire ID’ed (currently an $18/head value). If you choose to do full genomic testing, we will pay $18 towards your full panel.

These are no pampered heifers. They run under the same conditions as our commercial herd. They’re expected to work for a living out on range without a feed bucket. Lot 102 (D016) was selected to show by our daughters but later turned out because they’d bitten off more than they could chew. So she did get a little extra feed for a couple of months after weaning.

These high-quality heifers sell with our optional & exclusive Live Calf Guarantee (see p. 5). They will go to their new home and do anybody proud.

Ah, summer! But summer turns to fall and fall to winter. And some winters have brought blizzards! So...

Remember - We offer calve-out service with our exclusive LIVE CALF GUARANTEE!

See p. 5 for pricing information & compete details.

KCC and DRI are pleased to offer 60 bred heifers to calve in the Spring of 2018. They represent the top of our spring born heifer calves. To start with, we kept heifers that were neither too big nor too small, were born in the 1st 1/2 of the season, had good temperaments, were good performers, and were structurally correct, etc. From that elite group, we selected heifers from the best cows. When all was said and done, we had less than 1/2 the heifers left. We are offering you 1/2 of the best of the best! These are NOT put together heifers but rather the top of our herd with generations of AI, tough selection and proven performance on the range and the rail. Heifers are bred to calving ease Black Angus (DRI) and Red Angus (KCC). The heifers have all their shots, have been dewormed, Bangs vaccinated & tested PI negative. Complete information on each heifer will be available on a supplement sheet online and at the sale. Videos of each lot will be online before the sale too. Heifers will sell in lots of 3 to 5. They will be penned at the sale, but a video presentation will run for each lot in the ring.

AGAIN THIS YEAR: THERE WILL BE A BASE BID ON ALL HEIFERS. We have always had a policy of honesty in all dealings. We are coming off an extended drought that saw us downsize our herd significantly. We had good rains this past year and we’re in a position to cautiously expand our herds. Thus, we are setting a reasonable floor because they have great value to us. These are heart of our herd heifers. There are A LOT of heifers out there again this fall. As belts tighten, known genetics become all the more valuable. We continue to offer our BEST, KNOWN, PROVEN GENETICS that keeps your foundation solid.

Therefore, the base bid on bred heifers will be $1800.

Understanding & Interpreting Data

A Word About Cattle Feeding

In general, the AAA has set things up so that the higher the number, the “better” it is. In other words, for calving ease direct (CED), a bull with a 9 would calve easier than a bull with a 2. A higher marbling EPD means more marbling and so forth. However, please be careful not to think that bigger is always better. A bull with an outrageously high $Beef value may give you huge frame scores and hard doing cows. Higher milk val-ues could lead in some instances to udder problems and cows that milk themselves down too much and therefore have trouble rebreeding. The other thing to consider is how much data is behind the numbers the Association generates. We’re excited about the $EN value index which attempts to get a handle on more efficient cows. However, this the Association uses Milk EPD and mature size only to calculate this number. This misses those really efficient outliers (and some hard-doing ones too!).

The Red Angus Association is the only association that builds EPD’s from Total Herd Reporting (THR). THR uses data from the entire calf crop - not just the calves that were good enough to register. The biggest benefit of THR is the elimination of reporting bias from data used to calculate EPDs. Perhaps even more significant is the overestimate of performance of sires whose poorer performing calves are not reported. This next thought cannot be stressed too much. YOU CAN NOT COMPARE EPD’S ACROSS BREEDS!!!! Black Angus breeders consider BW +2.0 and below to be suitable for use on heifers, while Red Angus breeders will usually want a negative BW EPD. Having said that, here are the averages for parent sires in the AAA and RAA as of September of the current year:

It’s no secret that both operations are big believers in retained ownership of quality cattle. After all, if you’re going to go to the trouble of stacking high-quality genetics and handling and vaccinating your cattle properly, why not reap the benefits? If you’re willing to go one step further and identify those animals, the story gets even better. You need to know how your own cattle perform, even if you never anticipate retaining ownership. As seen below, money will be made on changing markets and grid premiums. Therefore, retained ownership will happen more with grid proven cattle. Let’s take a look:

Value of 550 lb calf @ 1.70 on Oct. 1: $935.00

Avg. feeding costs with $.65 cost of gain (700 lbs ) $455

Freight & Interest (calf) $30

Death loss (ours is lower, but we’ll use 2%) $15

Total costs: $1435.00

Breakeven price for May marketing $1.15

Oct. 1 Pricing through USPB for May $118.00 With premiums WE normally garner, it’s still a winner WITH OUR FEEDING HISTORY. We feel the market is oversold and things will be better this spring….aren't we optimistic?!

American Angus Association EPD Averages for Current Sires

30 34

Performance Data BW—Bull’s birth weight as adjusted by the American Angus Association or Red Angus Association. WW—Bull’s weaning weight adjusted by the AAA or ARA to 205 days YW—Bull’s yearling weight adjusted by the AAA or ARA to 365 days Scrotal—Bulls scrotal circumference in centimeters adjusted by the AAA or ARA to 365 days of age (1 year) Performance EPD’s (Expected Progeny Differences) CED- Calving Ease Direct is expressed 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 an sire's calves will be born when he is bred to first-calf heifers.

BW-Expressed in lbs, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit birth weight to his progeny when compared to the progeny of an average bull in the breed.

WW & YW-Expressed in lbs, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit weaning/yearling growth to his progeny compared to the progeny of an average bull in the breed.

Milk-Also called Weaning Wt Maternal, is a predictor of a sire’s genetic merit for milk and mothering ability as expressed in his daughters. In other words, it is that part of WW attributed to mi and mothering ability. It is compared to daughters of an average bull in the breed.

Scrotal-Expressed in centimeters, it is a predictor of the difference in transmitting ability for scrotal size compared to the progeny of an average sire in the breed. Available for BLACK ANGUS ONLY.

Stayability-The expected difference in probability of daughters staying in the herd at least 6 years. Since cows are usually only culled for being open before the age of 6, the EPD is primarily a measure of sustained fertility in female offspring. Available for RED ANGUS ONLY.

Carcass EPD’s (Expected Progeny Differences) CW-Carcass weight, expressed in pounds is a predictor of the differences in hot carcass weight of a sire's progeny compared to

progeny of other sires. Marbling-expressed as a fraction of the difference in USDA marbling score of a sire's progeny compared to progeny of other sires.

Higher marbling scores are positively correlated with higher carcass quality grades. REA-expressed in square inches, is a predictor of the difference in ribeye area of a sire's progeny compared to progeny of other sires. BF or FT– expressed in inches, is a predictor of the differences 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. YG-predicts differences in USDA Yield Grade score, and is expressed in USDA Yield Grade units Black Angus ONLY—$ Value Indexes Cow Energy Value ($EN), expressed in dollars savings per cow per year, assesses differences in cow energy requirements as an

expected dollar savings difference in daughters of sires. A larger value is more favorable when comparing two animals (more dollars saved on feed energy expenses). $Value indexes are multi-trait selection indexes, expressed in dollars per head, The $Value is an estimate of how future progeny of each sire are expected to perform, on average, compared to progeny of other sires

Weaned Calf Value ($W), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for preweaning merit. Includes both revenue and cost adjustments associated with differences in birth weight, weaning direct growth, maternal milk and mature cow size.

Feedlot Value ($F), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for postweaning merit compared to progeny of other sires.

Grid Value ($G), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for carcass grid merit compared to progeny of other sires.

Beef Value ($B), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for postweaning and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires.

Red Angus ONLY Heifer Pregnancy (HPG) - predicts the probability of heifers conceiving to calve at two years of age. Many breeds offer genetic

predictions of yearling bull scrotal circumference as an indicator of age of puberty. Red Angus’ HPG EPD offers more than an indicator trait, it selects for producers’ desired response: pregnant heifers.

The ME EPD predicts differences in energy requirements of mature daughters of an individual and is expressed in Mega-calories per month. Differences in Maintenance Energy requirements can easily translate into differences in feed required to maintain body weight. While higher milking, higher growth (larger mature size) cattle typically have higher maintenance requirements, there are many Red Angus sire choices that defy these antagonisms - actually combining positive revenue traits (Growth and Milk) with negative Expense Traits (ME). FOR THIS INDEX, THE LOWER THE NUMBER, THE BETTER!

HB & GM—Herd builder and grid master are both indexes designed with the idea that you are using Red Angus bulls on half-blood Simmental cows. This does not apply to many people, but you get the basis behind it now. The Herdbuilder is for choosing replacement females first and marketing the culls on a grid. It puts strong emphasis on Stay, HPG and CE, with slight amount on marbling, YG and growth. The Gridmaster is for marketing on the grid only, using marbling, YG and growth. We used to get a lot of black Angus info from the Canadian Angus Assc, as reds and blacks are together. Since 2015 that has not been possible, so anything with black angus in the background has a zero number and has to accumulate data to move that index. We have several AI sires that we used that are from upbreeding programs and have black one generation back. Their numbers show it. They will change as more data is submitted, but we only used ones we feel were really worthwhile!

Simmental ONLY All Purpose Index (API)- Evaluates sire for use on the entire cow herd (bred to both Angus first calf heifers and mature cows) with the

portion of their daughters required to maintain herd size retained and the remaining heifers and steers put on feed and sold grade and yield. Index units are in dollars per cow exposed.

Terminal Index (TI)- Evaluates sire for use on mature Angus cows with all offspring put on feed and sold grade and yield. Index units are in dollars per cow exposed.
