12TH ANNUALBULL SALE

R + Simmental sale

WELCOME FROM R+ SIMMENTALSWelcome to the 2012 edition of the R Plus Annual Bull Sale.WOW!! That is the best way to describe what happened at R Plus in 2011. Our 11th Anniversary Bull Sale was our best ever with many prominent Simmental breeders and top notch commercial producers supporting our program.On April 13 things started to get wet with the release of water from the two dams upstream of the ranch, from then until August we had from nothing to seven feet of water in the barns and corrals, also, approximately two feet of water upstairs in our home. Dallas and Keri completely lost their home as the water was as high as one foot from their ceiling. We were fortunate to be able to live with family for awhile, who we are so thankful to have, we then moved into our camper until the first snowfall in November. Also, the blizzard on May 1st was devastating for so many cattle producers. All of this is behind us now and we are moving forward.The future of the industry has never been as exciting as it is today. We have the highest feeder and calf prices ever along with a low herd count and an ever growing population, hopefully we will see this for a long time to come. At R Plus we are definitely excited about the present and the future, we are very proud of the R Plus brand of bulls we have to offer for your appraisal this year. We continue to run one of the largest all red and black herds in Canada. The Simmental cattle we raise are made for the commercial man, the bulls are moderate in stature, structurally sound with added performance to use in a cross breeding program. The bulls are not creep fed and due to the conditions of our facilities in the fall, we were unable to wean until October 20, 2012.Our goal is to raise a useful bull with extra rib eye and yield a package that will calve and give the commercial man extra value.As always OBI is helping us with the sale, Rob has become large part of our program as he certainly helps with our bull selection. We have enjoyed working with the OBI crew since our first sale 12 years ago. They can certainly help you with any of the sight unseen purchases. Come early to have a good look at the sale offering, lunch will be served. If you are unable to make it the day of the sale, give us a call and we’ll be more than happy to help you out.

Sincerely,Marlin LeBlanc and family

We Welcome Our U.S. Bull Customers

Both Past and Future.

WELCOME FROM OBIWelcome once again to the R+ Bull Sale - 2012 Edition!What a set of bulls, the most uniform, sound, complete bulls that you will find anywhere and all of the information that backs this up is quite exceptional.Annually the R+ program has supplied a product that goes out and works for their customers - averaging 97% of the bulls completing their 1st breeding season without problems and furthermore, for the past few years the bulls have completed exceptional semen tests at an average age of 380 days. Important? Only if they are expected to work. R+ bulls are also measured for carcass traits – a practice that sets R+ apart as one of the few Simmental programs that even attempt to gather this information. As consumer demands for quality beef increase, the importance of raising a superior product becomes more of a necessary breeding tool. It may not seem so in these high, exciting cattle markets - but can you imagine the difference if your product would grade Prime on a consistent basis? The information is here for you.All this comes at R+ because of two major production tools 1) Genetics that are used and 2) Bull Development Practices - i.e. no creep feed and a balanced nutritional program.Also this year, R+ are offering a “Pick of their 2011 Open Heifer Pen”, an opportunity that has never be given before.Following the ‘Year of the Flood’, the optimism is running high at R+, these types of issues making us tougher and more resilient.Please plan to visit R+ at anytime and if anyone can help you, please do not hesitate to call.Looking forward to seeing you sale day,Rob Holowaychuk

Edge has definitely become the main herdbull in our program, we use him extensively in our AI program, basically if it is not an Edge we breed her Edge or to a son or maternal son of him. The thing about Edge is he makes his calves better than the dams, consistency in kind and type, he is a no miss bull. We own Edge with Westaway Farms and Lewis Farms.

They successfully campaigned several Yukon sons and daughters at the 2012 National Western Stock Show.The calves met rave reviews from many prominent breeders, and now they have semen shares sold and for sale. Congratulations to Jeff and family.

15U is the Black Baldy bull we purchased out Missouri and what a find if you’re needing fancy, big topped cattle, look at the sons of Resolution.

The old guy, 10 years old and still walking a pasture full of cows. His biggest claim is that he sired Edge, but he also sired piles of bulls for commercial men from our sales. Longevity and lots of performance is what you expect from a 29N son.

347P is our calving ease bull and a bull that has left us a tremendous set of cows. Seven years old and still breeding tells you what we think of the bull.

Here is an all black pedigreed calf that has stood out since day 1. 1158 is what we think is a very complete calf combining big top, deep sided and very attractive to look at. His dam is a very sound second calver with her first calf retained in our herd. His sire Tabasco is a bull Porters raised and has had great success with. We followed the bull and realized that he was consistent in producing large rib eyes, so we decided to AI and have been extremely happy with the results.

The first King of the Yukon to sell in Canada. Yukon was our high selling bull in 2010 going to Springer Simmentals in Cresco, Iowa. The Springer family has since syndicated the bull with great success and the progeny were very well received at the Denver National Western 2012. We are very excited about 1075 as he has been noticed by many visitors this fall. His dam 9025, a two year old and a very broody individual, was a favourite of Dallas’ and mine. Again we see the strength of these Edge daughters every year. They bring our top bulls to the sale.

BW: 96 205 day: 756 365 day:1466

¾ brother to Lot 2. Consistency is what we are after and by lining up pedigrees this becomes achievable. These Yukon’s have super hair coats, excellent depth of side and are easy to look at.

Black Edge just continues to make great ones and now we are just seeing the power of the daughter’s as the above bulls in the catalogue are by Edge females. The grandmother of 1019Y produced a bull for Handford Simmentals.

This calf has always been a standout in the pasture alongside his mother. What always catches your eye is mama, then you notice the great calf following.

Once again 50M produces a bull for the sale. She is a never miss cow with three daughters in the herd and this is her 3rd bull in our sale. The McSteamy calves have really impressed us with their performance, hair and stature.

Lot 11 and his dam...Supreme Champion at Lloydminster 2011

Here is the result of a female we partnered up with Bar SK to purchase out of Agribition from Colt’s Cattle Co., Daysland. They retained show rights and campaigned her and 1004Y to Supreme Champion at the Lloydminster Stockade and 2nd in class at Agribition. An extremely popular female, 1004Y certainly caught a lot of attention alongside his mother. He has continued to mature and is a powerful, super haired calf. Thanks to the whole Drave’s Family for showing her and 1004Y throughout the fall.

Here is a Redge son that has been a standout since birth. Deep, thick and great hair. The IT cow is destined to be a great cow here at R Plus. Her first son sold to Clayton Breault and we have a daughter in the herd. 1026 will be her third calf.

BULL WARRANTYWe guarantee to provide you with a sound, fertile bull capable of servicing a reasonable number of cows. In the event that your bull is a non-satisfactory breeder, the seller will not, under any circumstances, be responsible for more than the original selling price of any bull or female sold in the sale. The consignor will not provide replacement or credit for physical injury or mismanagement. Therefore we stress the importance of insurance on your bull. An insurance agent will be available on sale day.

R+ have established themselves as one of the leading Ultrasound Carcass Evaluation Programs in the Simmental Breed. Not only do they evaluate their own bulls for their customers, but they also use carcass evaluation as a selection tool for securing new headline herdsires. Following the R+ example not only helps out R+ but we believe that your program will improve as well. Remember the R+ Brand of Confidence.What is Ultrasound?Ultrasound has become an everyday use of “frequencies” to detect those things that we can not normally see with our naked eye. Example: (Medical World - it is used for a host of functions from detecting bodily problems to detecting the sex of a young couples first new born). In the outside world it is used to detect cracks or possible structural flaws in all types of equipment from bridges to engines. In beef cattle it is used to detect three major components of a live animals carcass composition; that being muscle (meat), fat thickness and IMF (Intra Muscular Fat or Marbling). As well, it is quite commonly used to detect the sex of embryos being carried with an amazingly high degree of accuracy.

When is it used?For any meaningful information it is best done during some relative time period similar to what slaughter ages are to be. The CUP system adjusts the carcass information to one year of age (similar to adjusted yearling weights). This then gives us at least a simple level playing field for making choices or decisions within common groups.

How are the Measurements Expressed?Rib Fat - either in inches .3 inches or in mm’s 8 mmAREA - usually in square inchesIMF or MB - as a % of that area (eg. 4.2 = 4.2%)RP = Retail Product - is a % of a saleable carcass

Why ultrasound, or better yet should we pay attention to this information?Within the seedstock industry it seems like a distant or vague result that holds little real value, but in the commercial cattle world this tool of using ultrasound has become a well documented practice that when used has resulted in a clean, positive, decision making management choice resulting in extra profits of $30 per head and higher. The ultrasound carcass evaluation when used a short time (7 - 10 days) prior to slaughter simply allowed the seller to market on a grid system or not at an optimal time. (This live pre-sort has resulted in an 80% - 95% degree of accuracy following slaughter. The pre slaughter carcass data corresponded to slaughter data with measuring IMF and Fat to this degree of accuracy). As well reportedly we find major players in the North American slaughter industry securing software programs to in fact use this technology for a much more economic decision on their front. “Apparently the information is not as vague as we may believe.”

What is good or what is bad?None of the figures or information is bad - the information should help us identify which animals or groups of animals are superior for different traits, ie the high IMF bulls could be sourced to use on Continental cows who may well have lower IMF tendencies, or, large AREA bulls or sire groups could be used on low yield, easy fleshing British cows whose IMF genetic makeup could already be abundant. Remember Retail Product (RP) takes a combination of this information into account. So is there a right answer?? Not at all, but there certainly is an advantage to you the buyer using this information if the bulls or sires are identified.

The first thing producers want to know about ultrasound is: How accurate is it? The answer to the question depends on who does the actual scanning of the animals and who interprets the images. Ultrasound data on these bulls was collected and analysed by a technician that is certified by AUP and CUP. This means that the technician has met the standards set by many breed associations. The accuracy, although not perfect, is high enough that bulls selected based on ultrasound results in positive genetic change in progeny carcass traits. Heritability for carcass traits are moderate to high, which is slightly higher that birth weights, weaning weights, and yearling weights.

IMF (Inter muscular Fat or Marbling)IMF is the best indication that we have to tell us what kind of eating experience we will have when eating beef. Extensive research shows that average AAA and above marbling produces the most satisfied consumers. As marbling increases so does the juiciness, the flavorfulness, and the tenderness. This may not always be true but for the most part AAA marbling producers more satisfied customers that does A or AA marbling carcasses.

Back Fat (BF mm)Fat depth influences lean meat yield. Fat bulls have less lean meat/muscle in the carcass. The fat measurement also gives an indication of the bulls fleshing ability. Calves from a bull with very little fat may finish too slowly in the feedlot. Body condition score (fat depth) in females is related to their ability to reach puberty at an early age, produce milk, rebreed and maintain a short calving interval. On the other hand, bulls carrying excessive fat may suffer reduced fertility.

Adjusted Ribeye Area (AREA in2)The AREA is the largest muscle in the body at birth so AREA gives an indication of overall carcass muscling (measured in inches) and adjusted to one year of age.

RP (Retail Product/Cutability/% LMY)RP is the percentage lean meat yield in the carcass. Yield grade is an important factor in both Canada and the US. Producing calves with a high genetic potential for this trait can be an important objective of a breeding program. Back fat will reduce yield by 7 to 8 times what REA will increase yield.

Summary Like all traits we should avoid the extremes. Moderation is the key. As producers we need to evaluate our own females and then decide what kind of progeny we want to produce and this should dictate what kind of sire we want to purchase.

Carcass Data, done by Rod Wendorff, Windy Ridge Ultrasounding, will be available

after February 22, 2012.
