On behalf of the members of the Limousin Association of Wisconsin, welcome to Sparta.For those of you who are returning to the sale, there are some new features listed below.For those new to the sale, we would like to remind you of the tremendous opportunity that the North American Limousin Foundation offers with Tyson. Limousin calves are at a premium and we invite you to contact NALF about marketing opportunities for your feeders and fed cattle.

Crossbreeding—• The U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (USMARC) has data indicating crossbred cow

generates 23% more annual income when compared to a straightbred female• Longevity is increased 15%• Lifetime production increases 30%

Keep and Feed—• Badger Hill, Spring Creeks and Mill Road are offering a keep-and-feed program on yearling

bulls. If the buyer chooses, the bulls will be hauled home and fed until May 1. Bulls delivered after that time are subject to a nominal daily rate

Marketing Advantages—• Free listing on the Limousin Exchange Feeder Calf Classifieds• Alliances with Tyson Fresh Meats and Strauss Free-Raised• A grid pricing system; Lim-Choice offered by Tyson just for Limousin-influenced genetics• Contact NALF at www.nalf.org or by phone 303.220.1693• Feed Efficiency: Limousin’s advantages in feed conversion come as a result of lower levels

of feed consumption coupled with higher levels of lean, dressed carcass weight and retail yield. Limousin and Lim-Flex genetics will hit your targets

Explain the Terms—Tested Homozygous Polled – all the offspring from this individual will be polledTested Homozygous Black – all the offspring from this individual will carry the black gene (expect to be black)Tested for the F94L Gene – A gene which increases the weight of prime cuts by 19% and overall beef yield by 7% has been discovered by researchers at Adelaide University in Australia. The gene, a modification of the myostatin gene called F94L, is shown to occur with high frequency in Limousin cattle, and with very low frequencies in other breeds.

LIMOUSINGENETICS WORK!

“Using Limousin bulls on my Angus-based cows has all but eliminated calving difficulties, plus those calves are up and nursing right away. This helps maximize the pounds of calves I have to market.”

Wayne Hepper, Flying O Ranch

“Limousin and Lim-Flex bulls have added pounds to my calves at sale time. They have topped the market year after year, and sell to the same buyer. They work for him.”

Galen Peterson, Kansas ranch and cow-calf producer

The North American Limousin Foundation has aligned with Tyson Fresh Meats to offer commercial cattle producers and cattle feeders the ability to market cattle through existing branded programs that Tyson is currently marketing today.

Producers can elect to market cattle into one of two natural cattle feeding programs, NHTC (non-hormone treated cattle), or utilize the Lim-Choice conventional fed cattle grid with Tyson.

Premiums for qualifying cattle under the NALF/Tyson procurement agreement for these programs are substantial depending on the program and the time of year the cattle are marketed for harvest. Commercial cow-calf producers will be able to increase the value of their feeder cattle offering by purchasing Limousin and Lim-Flex bulls to utilize into their Angus or Red Angus-based cowherds through these programs.

Contact the North American Limousin Foundation for more information on these programs,

Limousin and Lim-Flex® Breed Average EPDs for Non-Parent Animals (Spring 2016 International Cattle Evaluation)

The North American Limousin Foundation (NALF) uses all available information to predict an animal’s EPD. This information includes: individual performance, pedigree, progeny and grand progeny performance, and genomic information. All this information is combined into one, easy to use, number that helps producers make genetic improvement in their herd.

Since the spring of 2015, NALF joined 11 other U.S. and Canadian breed associations to form the largest international multi-breed cattle evaluation in the world through International Genetic Solutions (IGS). This allows growth and carcass EPDs for Limousin and Lim-Flex® (Limousin x Angus hybrid) animals to be directly compared with Red Angus, Simmental, Gelbvieh, Shorthorn, Maine Anjou, and Chianina animals (and all their hybrid animals). This makes selection decisions easier for commercial producers.

Listed below are the definitions for Limousin and Lim-Flex EPDs and the units in which they are published. For more information visit www.NALF.org or call 303-220-1693.

Maternal and Growth Traits

Calving ease direct (CED): Percent of unassisted births of a bull’s calves when he is used on heifers. A higher number is favorable, meaning better calving ease.

Birth weight (BW): Predicts the difference, in pounds, for birth weight of the calf.

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 weaning.

Yearling weight (YW): Predicts the expected difference, in pounds, for yearling weight (adjusted to a standard 365 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to yearling.

Milk (MK): The genetic ability of a sire’s daughters to produce milk expressed in pounds of weaning weight.

Total maternal (TM): An index that combines growth and milk information as a prediction of the weaning weight performance of calves from a sire’s daughters. A greater TM value means a mother that returns comparatively higher weaning weights on her calves. TM Index = MK EPD + ½ WW EPD.

Calving ease maternal (CEM): Represented as percent of unassisted births in a sire’s first-calving daughters. A higher number represents more favorable calving ease.

Scrotal circumference (SC): Is a good indicator of age at puberty, and is a highly heritable trait. EPDs for scrotal circumference are expressed in centimeters, with higher values indicating genes for larger yearling scrotal circumferences of sons and earlier puberty of daughters.

Stayability (ST): Predicts the genetic difference, in terms of percent probability, that a bull’s daughters will stay productive within a herd to at least six year of age. The stayability EPD is one of the best measures currently available to compare a bull’s ability to produce females with reproductive longevity.

Docility (Doc): Predicts genetic differences in the probability that offspring are scored a 1 (docile) or 2 (restless) as opposed to 3, 4, 5 or 6 (nervous to very aggressive). Higher EPD values for docility represent genetics for calmer behavior.

Carcass Traits

Yield grade (YG): Differences in yield grade score, which is a predictor of percent retail product. Smaller values suggest that progeny will have a better lean to fat ratio.

Carcass weight (CW): Differences in pounds of hot carcass weight, adjusted to an industry standard age endpoint.

Ribeye area (REA): Differences in ribeye area in inches between the 12th and 13th rib. Greater ribeye areas are preferable.

Marbling (MB): Predicts the differences in the degree of marbling within the ribeye as expressed in marbling score units. Greater marbling numbers are preferable and are an indicator of higher carcass quality grades.

Fat (FT): Differences for fat thickness, in inches, for a carcass over the 12th rib. Smaller numbers of fat thickness are preferable as excess fat can be detrimental to yield grade.

Mainstream Terminal Index ($MTI): Predicts genetic differences in profit per carcass by combining the potential for and value of post-weaning growth, quality grade and yield.
