Friends and fellow cattlemen,

Welcome to our 4th annual production sale! We have made a few changes this year. First, we gave our sale a name, Keystone Elite. We feel, without a doubt, the cattle in this sale are, by far, from beginning to end, the best we have offered to date. We also have more cattle, we added spring bred heifers and cow/calf pairs to the mix. We also have more AI animals then ever before with 26 lots being AI.

One of the biggest and best changes we have made is adding an auctioneer. But not just any auctioneer, we added Kyle Gilchrist from Douds, IA. Kyle is a Red Angus auctioneer. He has dedicated his whole life to Red Angus. He grew up raising them with his father. He knows the breed, the pedigrees and the people, like maybe no other.

How the auction works: All cattle will be penned for your viewing. A new barn has been added for all the females. After viewing cattle in the morning, lunch will be served at noon with beef brisket sandwiches and all the trimmings. No cattle will run through a sale ring. During the auction, there will be a video of the animal that is selling playing on large screen TVs.

Most cattle auctions have become a wine and dine affair, sitting down with good food and good people in comfort buying cattle. In our case, it’s going to be a barn and dine, so please dress accordingly, as you never know what type weather we may have in March in central PA. There will be no base price on any cattle, this is a full-blown auction.

Cattle will be available for viewing on Friday, March 16. We also cook Red Angus burgers and hot dogs around 4pm and have an adult beverage while talking about the cattle. Hotels are about 8 miles from the farm, so please stop in on Friday. You can meet Kyle and the rest of the crew. This also gives us more time to answer all your questions and get to know each other, as sale day seems to be very hectic.

Our breeding principles are simple: to provide total performance genetics & breed leading EPDs. We will not sacrifice good feet, legs and overall structural soundness for a good EPD profile. Our cows need both or they go to the stockyards! Our animals need to work in all environments. They have plenty of guts and capacity, lots of milk, and last but not least, great dispositions. Our bulls are grown out, not fed out. They are fed for 3# ADG. The bulls are not rolling in fat, they are in good breeding condition. Our main focus is providing bulls for the commercial cattle industry and replacement females for the seed stock producer.

The females in this sale are straight out of our replacement pens. They well provide you with style, structural correctness, capacity, EPD profiles, and carcass traits that are way above average. You will be hard pressed to find females like this for sale anywhere in the country!

Understanding EPD’s as a selection tool.

Milk: Predicts the difference in maternal production of an individual animal’s daughters as expressed by the weaning weight of their calves. Maintenance Energy (ME): Predicts the differences in maintenance energy requirements of mature daughters of a bull. The lower the ME EPD, the less feed daughters require to maintain body condition.Heifer Pregnancy (HPG): Predicts the probability of heifers conceiving to calve at two years of age. Calving Ease Maternal (CEM): Predicts the probability of a given animal’s daughters calving unassisted at two years of age.Stayability (STAY): Predicts the probability of a bull’s daughters remaining in the herd until at least six years of age. Females that don’t stay in the herd that long are losing money, and they also contribute to higher rate of replacement females that the rancher can’t cash crop.Marbling (Marb): Predicts the difference for carcass marbling score as expressed in marbling score units. Higher marbling scores are positively correlated with higher carcass quality grades.Yield Grade (YG): Marketing calves on a grid? Placing selection pressure on YG EPD will decrease the number of YG discounts on grid-marketed progeny.Carcasss Weight (CW): Selecting bulls with a high CW EPD will increase the weight of the hanging carcass, which directly impacts revenue.Rib Eye Area (REA): Predicts difference of carcass Rib Eye Area between the 12th and 13th rib. Increase Rib Eye Area has a beneficial effect on Yield Grade which also includes Carcass Weight and Fat Thickmess.12th Rib Fat Thickness (FAT): Predicts difference for carcass fat depth over the 12th rib, as expressed in inches. Increases in fat thickness has a detrimental effect on Yield Grade.

HerdBuilder Indes (HB): An index used to estimate difference in profitabillity for the sustainabillity of the cowherd. This index was created on the assumption that an operation raises its own replacement females and terminally markets the remainder of the calf crop on a quality based grid. Geven that replacement heifers are retained, primary infulence is placed on maternal traits such as Stay, HPG, and CE. MARB, YG and growth EPDs also impact this index, but to a lesser degree.GridMaster (GM): An index used to estimate differences in profitability for those whose primary goal is to maximize profitability in the feedyard and on the rail. This index was created on the assumption that an operation markets all of the calf crop terminally on a quality based grid with no replacement females being raised. MARB, YG and growth EPDs are traits of primary importance in the index.Calving Ease Direct (CED): Predicts the probability of calves being born unassisted from two year-old heifers. Selecting on actual birth weight is flawed; it is influenced by non-genetic factors such as nutrition and weather. While the BW EPD removes these non-genetic factors, the CED EPD is the best predictor of calving ease. CED includes variation in BW plus other influential genetic factors such as gestation length, calf shape, etc. The higher the CED EPD, the less calving difficulty.Birth Weight (BW): Predicts the difference, in pounds, for birth weight, and is also used in the calculation of the CED EPD. Weaning Weight (WW): Predicts the difference, in pounds, for weaning weight (adjusted to age of dam and a standard 205 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to yearling.Yearling Weight (YW): Predicts the expected difference, in pounds, for yearling weight (adjusted to 365 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to yearling.
