Bull deVelopmeNt ANd CoNtemporAry groupiNgWeaning weights (for 205 day adjusted weights) were taken in October, approximately 30 days prior to weaning. Bulls were weaned on pasture and hay. The “test period” was from early October to early February. For that period, bulls remained in 15-30 acre pastures, had access to grass hay and free-choice bull developer composed primarily of commodity ingredients, barley and an intake-limiting ingredient from Purina.

Some of the yearling weights are lighter than in years past, but we are confident the bulls are healthier, sounder, and better prepared for the breeding season without need for extra supplementation.

The bulls were divided into several contemporary groups for “ratioing” purposes at weaning and yearling. They were grouped by breed, pre-weaning location and management. Our goal is to minimize confusion, while practicing sound genetic evaluation principals. Please give Paul a call if you have questions.

SerViNg our Bull CuStomerS SiNCe 1944When you buy a Knoll Crest bull, you do more than purchase an animal – you tie to a program.

Knoll Crest Farm is firmly committed to delivering service with each bull. We conduct our business in a manner that demands providing only the very best genetics for our valued customers. Along with “value-added” genetics, we provide “value-added” service.

BULL GUARANTEE: Knoll Crest will insure each bull it sells in an unconditional manner against death or injury for one year. The insurance value shall be for 100% of the total cost of the bull. Knoll Crest shall receive salvage value, if there is any. Purchaser agrees to have bulls examined (or autopsied) by a licensed veterinarian and notify Knoll Crest immediately. The insurance is to be redeemed in the form of a replacement bull, if available, or a credit on future Knoll Crest bull purchases.

BULL PICK UP AND DELIVERY: Pick up your bull on sale day or within 7 days and receive a $50 discount on each bull purchased. You will receive this discount at checkout time. For bulls that require delivery,

we guarantee that freight will not exceed $250 per head to anywhere in the continental US.

VOLUME DISCOUNTS: Buyers purchasing 2 or more bulls will receive a volume discount as follows: 2 bulls - 2%, 3 bulls - 3%, 4 bulls - 4%, 5 or more bulls -5 %.

SEMEN INTEREST: Knoll Crest Farm will retain a 1/3 semen interest in every bull selling. In reality, this will affect only a very few bulls that sell. KCF reserves the right to collect semen at KCF’s cost and the buyers’ convenience. KCF retains 1/3 of the semen revenue rights for each bull. The buyer owns 100% possession and 100% salvage value.

★H Now at ABS, Southside is one of the most potent breeding sires we have ever used. As an individual, he posted the heaviest weaning weight in our history, and is unusually athletic, quiet natured and slick haired. Five of the six dams on the bottom side of his pedigree are Pathfinders, and this cow family has proven to excel on fescue. Among all Angus sires, he ranks top 1% for all the following: WW, YW, SC, Docility, $Weaning and $Beef. His oldest daughters have calved and are very neat uddered and making great mothers.

★H No other non-parent Angus bull can match his combination of calving ease, $W, $F and $B. B257 was our #1 WW individual, but was too young to process YW and carcass ultrasound. His individual performance for those traits would likely have enhanced his EPDs. Produced as his mother’s 2nd calf, his only maternal sibling is a heifer that ratioed 125 WWR and 131 YWR and was selected by David Brown as a private treaty acquisition for Montana Ranch last summer. Grandam U417 is also a neat uddered, easy fleshing cow that currently records 4 @ 97 BWR, 4 @ 105 WWR, 4 @ 110 YWR. B257 is very unique and will see use at Knoll Crest.

★H B43 is the result of mating Southside back to his maternal grandam. P14 is a powerhouse Pathfinder currently recording 9 @ 104 WWR and 9 @ 106 YWR. Her Pathfinder dam is out of a direct daughter of the most influential cow in our history, the 3rd generation Pathfinder #3151 by EXT. If you need calving ease, growth, docility, scrotal, maternal, $W, $F, $B, and moderate mature weight, no non-parent bull in the Angus breed can match B43’s tabulation.

He is an unusually sound structured, good footed bull who is very athletic. His maternal grand dam was selected as the $60,000 “Pick of Dams’’ at Connealys’ by McKellar Angus and his mother was also selected to serve in McKellars’ donor program.

Economic Selection Indexes: A Tool for Successful Sire SelectionIn 2005 the American Hereford Association (AHA) introduced four profit indexes. These indexes allow Hereford members and their commercial customers to select sires that maximize profit under different production situations. The indexes are formulated on general representations of beef production systems used in the U.S. and consider a group of economically relevant traits that characterize those systems. Relative economic values for this group of traits are paired with expected progeny differences (EPDs) to produce a dollar ($) index value. The difference in the $ value of the index predicts the difference in profit potential.Selection index technology is nothing new. The original scientific paper describing the technique was published in 1943. For decades, swine and dairy breeders have used values such as sow productivity index and type-production index to select animals that excel in several traits. Beef breed associations in Australia have used index selection for several years, and a number of other U.S. beef breed associations publish various index values as part of their genetic evaluation programs. While other breeds have only terminal sire indexes, Hereford has developed three maternal indexes in addition to a terminal index.The four Hereford indexes are:Baldy Maternal Index (BMI$) – This is an index to maximize profit for commercial cow-calf producers who use Hereford bulls in rotational crossbreeding programs on Angus-based cows. Retained ownership of calves through the feedlot phase of production is maintained and the cattle are to be marketed on a CHB pricing grid.Brahman Influence Index (BII$) – This index utilizes Hereford bulls in a rotational crossbreeding system with Brahman. This index emphasizes fertility and age at puberty and less on growth. Because Brahman cattle are not used in the CHB program, a commodity pricing grid is used.Certified Hereford Beef Index (CHB$) – This is a terminal sire index, where Hereford bulls are used on British-cross cows and all offspring are sold as fed cattle on a CHB pricing grid. There is no emphasis on milk or fertility since all cattle will be terminal. This index promotes growth and carcass.Calving Ease Index (CEZ$) – This index is used to select bulls that will be used in a heifer program. This index has increased emphasis on direct and maternal calving ease.real-world scenarioEconomic selection indexes allow cattle producers to select animals with the most favorable combination of EPDs to maximize profit in a given situation. As an example, EPDs for four fictitious Hereford bulls are listed in Table 1. Of these four sires, which would be expected to generate the most profit in a rotational crossbreeding program, when mated to Angus-cross cows and heifers?Each of the four bulls excels in at least one economically important trait. Bull A is the most favorable for scrotal circumference, an indicator of early puberty and increased lifetime female fertility. Bull B has the most favorable combination of calving ease and growth, but is less desirable than breed average for both fat and ribeye area. The bull with the highest milk and intramuscular fat (IMF) EPDs is C, but he is the least desirable for calving ease. In contrast Bull D is the calving-ease sire of the group, but is only average for growth, and in the bottom 5% of active sires for IMF.The answer to this question is found by comparing the index values in Table 2. Bull B would be expected to sire the most profitable calves for this scenario, slightly better than A, and significantly better than D or C. His BMI$ value is the highest of the four bulls. His calves should generate $2.14 more profit per head, compared with A ($25.35 – 23.12 = $2.23), and $19.86 more profit per head than C. If B and C each produce 25 calves per year for four years, a producer should realize $1,986 more profit using B compared to C, including the cow herd contributions of daughters of B compared with daughters of C (25 calves X 4 years X $19.86 per head = $1,986).Note that each of the four bulls is best for one of the indexes. While B is an excellent choice for the scenario just discussed, he would be only second best as

a terminal sire (CHB$) or a sire of heifer bulls (CEZ$). When crossed with Brahman-influenced females, A would be a somewhat better choice (BII$), largely the result of his high scrotal circumference EPD. Bull C’s favorable carcass genetics make him the most profitable terminal sire, while D is the best choice as a sire of heifer bulls, given his genetic values for calving ease.Selection vs. ICLsSelection on index values is more effective than using independent culling levels (ICLs) in a computer sire sort. Often breeders set minimum and maximum values for several EPDs, then select among those sires that meet all those criteria. As an illustration, consider a Hereford seedstock breeder whose bull customers typically cross Hereford bulls on Angus-based cows. The Hereford breeder might decide to seek artificial insemination (AI) sires that are in the top 25% of active sires for calving ease, weaning weight, milk, scrotal circumference and intramuscular fat. A sort on the AHA Web site might provide a list of bulls like that found in Table 3.But are those the most profitable bulls for this scenario? Not necessarily. In particular, sire sorts eliminate any animal that fails to meet even one of the given criteria, even by a very small amount. What if the producer had lowered their criteria slightly? They might have found more bulls, some of which were significantly better overall. In Table 4, the same three bulls are listed, plus one who fails to meet the original criteria for one trait by a small amount.In Table 4 sire H is the most profitable for the situation, even though he failed to meet the initial criteria set by the producer. His direct calving ease EPD was lower than desired, but only by a small amount. That deficiency is offset by a superior combination of weaning weight, scrotal circumference and IMF EPDs giving him the highest BMI$ value. Rather than setting minimums, index selection allows favorable EPDs for one trait to compensate for less favorable EPDs in another. Indexes identify animals with the overall most profitable genetic profile.However, like any tool, selection indexes must be used carefully to avoid undesired results. While independent culling levels tend to select animals that are close to average for a large number of traits, indexes may identify animals that are rather extreme in their genetic values. Because indexes do allow one trait to compensate for another, they can select animals that are extremely favorable for a single trait, and somewhat undesirable for several others. Producers should scrutinize the individual EPDs of top index sires to be sure all EPD values are within an acceptable range. This is especially important for selecting calving ease sires for commercial herds. While the CEZ$ value does heavily emphasize direct and maternal calving ease, commercial producers selecting heifer bulls should continue to set minimum levels for those EPDs. The CEZ$ index identifies the most profitable animals for producing heifer bulls over several generations, but a sire can have a favorable CEZ$ value if its other traits are desirable enough to offset a marginal calving ease EPD.As breeders begin to study index values for their animals, it will become apparent that milk EPD has little effect on any of the index values. In fact milk EPD is ignored in CHB$; that index identifies the best terminal sires, so milk is irrelevant. For the others, the economic value of increased milk, while small, is negative. No doubt some breeders will find this puzzling, as most beef breeds have selected for increased milk EPD over the last decade. However, economic research shows that once a cow provides adequate milk for her calf to meet its needs for health, maintenance and growth, additional milk is an economic liability, not an asset. Heavier milking cows have higher feed requirements, even when dry. If producers reduce the feed requirements per cow, they can increase herd size without acquiring additional land or purchased feed, and increase profit to the overall enterprise. However, if commercial bull customers insist their bulls have a minimum milk EPD, seedstock producers may want to continue to set a minimum milk value for AI sires, then select the top index sires with a milk EPD of that level or higher.

★H Now at ABS, Southside is one of the most potent breeding sires we have ever used. As an individual, he posted the heaviest weaning weight in our history, and is unusually athletic, quiet natured and slick haired. Five of the six dams on the bottom side of his pedigree are Pathfinders, and this cow family has proven to excel on fescue. Among all Angus sires, he ranks top 1% for all the following: WW, YW, SC, Docility, $Weaning and $Beef. His oldest daughters have now calved and are very neat uddered and making great mothers.

Hybrids. it started with single cross corn; it has dominated broiler and swine production, the state conservation department releases hybrid game fish, and now the car companies are promoting hybrids. All for the same reason; there are advantages to hybrids.

The movement to hybrid seedstock in beef production is in its infancy and increased usage in commercial beef production is inevitable. Why…because hybrids simplify many of the challenges a commercial beef producer faces and increase profitability. Hybrids also stabilize breed composition; in turn that provides more, not less, consistency in a calf crop.

I remember sitting in Beef Production class and a number of Animal Breeding classes while the professor diagramed crossbreeding systems for beef production. I caught myself wondering how anyone could sleep though such a stimulating lecture. It’s all about heterosis, breed complementarity, maternal heterosis and potentially utilizing terminal breeds, what could be better? I’ve since figured out it was all about maximizing complexity, ignoring simplicity and real-world application…the smartest students may have been the ones napping.

Let’s take a look at a basic two-breed rotation. The textbook model assumes that you’ll have bulls of each breed and separate your cows into two breeding groups based on their sire breed. In big herds, where it is feasible, it requires extra labor to sort cows and calves, making sure you don’t split a pair, and it doesn’t fit with improved management practices like rotational grazing. The three-breed textbook model, to take full advantage of maternal heterosis, is just one step more complicated.

The Crossbreeding RealityThe reality approach in most herds is to buy a bull of one breed use him two years

and then replace him with one from the second breed. This is especially true in small, single herd sire cowherds, but for simplicity even many big herds rotate breeds every other year. Keeping replacement females every cycle in this system means the resulting calf crop has a variety of percentages, from 50% and up, of the sire breed used in that cycle.

How does that provide consistency?The temptation might be to consider straight breeding commercial cows. But

the merits of crossbreeding are too great for a commercial cattleman to ignore. Crossbreeding provides heterosis in many traits but in particular the traits that are the most difficult to apply selection pressure for improvement. Cow longevity, lifetime productivity and calf survivability, are examples where heterosis can give a 25 percent or higher advantage.

The heterosis advantages in growth and milk are smaller, and in carcass traits we see little hybrid vigor. In these traits breed complementarity, combining breeds with offsetting strengths and weaknesses comes to play.The Balancer® Advantage

As a commercial producer, if I had straight-bred or high-percentage British cattle, I’d use Gelbvieh bulls until I had some Gelbvieh influence in a majority of my cowherd. At that point, I’d switch to Balancers® to stabilize the level of Gelbvieh and British in my herd at a desirable level.

Under this scenario, the skeptics argue that somehow the parent breeds will genetically segregate in the offspring, yielding more variability, but this just isn’t the case. Consistency in the calf crop comes from the progeny being very similar in breed composition.

The data from the Gelbvieh Alliance and Meat Animal Research Center agree that combining continental and British influence at the right levels pay big dividends in feed efficiency and targeting a desirable, and profitable, level of Yield and Quality grades.

In the pasture, Gelbvieh influence in your cowherd that will provide great fertility, milk and growth, while keeping mature cow size in check.

There is a reason commercial beef producers appreciate the advantages of Balancer bulls. They take the headaches out of crossbreeding, provide heterosis, and let producers focus on the windows of acceptability for feedlot performance and end product merit. Balancers are the easy shortcut to profitability.

Video auction FormatThe 2015 Knoll Crest Bull Sale will have a new video format. In this

day and age with the technology available we feel we can still have a “live” auction without a bull standing in the ring. This will allow us to place less stress on livestock and the crew handling them. Instead, we will have video footage of each and every bull prerecorded to play in the sale ring as the bulls are auctioned off.

Video footage of the bulls will be available on www.knollcrestfarm.com by March 25, 2015. Bulls will be sorted and available for viewing on sale day. If you would like to view the bulls at the farm prior to the sale day, please give us a call and we would be glad to accommodate your request.

Live audio and prerecorded video footage will also be available on www.LiveAuctions.TV for buyers to bid on that are unable to be at the auction on sale day. We will also be providing our telo-auction service as we have in years past.
