Beastrom Ranch

Welcome to our 35th Annual Bull Sale.

We would like to take a moment to say thank you for the continued interest in our program. We are humbled by the commitment to our genetics shown by both long time costumers as well as new ones. This continued support is what drives us to produce cattle that fit industry demands, such as carcass traits, docility, growth and performance, fleshing ability, reproductive traits and longevity.

This year we took our annual trip the National Western Stock Show and participated in the infamous Pen Bull Show in the Yards. It was our most successful trip to date. We were honored to exhibit the Reserve National Champion Balancer Pen of Three Bulls. During the show, judge Doug Hixxon stated, “This is the youngest set of bulls with the highest rate of gain. I am impressed with the level of performance and uniformity these bulls offer as well as their quality as individuals and their ability to maintain a soft look.” We were also named one of two runners up in the Breeder’s Choice Balancer Bull Futurity, where fellow breeders select bulls they would most like to use within their own program. These bulls along with half siblings sell on February 23rd.

This set of bulls excels in structure, function and pounds. We have had the best gain to date on the bulls with the least amount of energy in the ration than ever before. Our bulls and females offer real world fleshing ability backed by generations of productive females that take the “guess work” out of each calf crop. When you evaluate this set of bulls we think that you will agree that they do indeed fit industry demands.

Please join us February 23rd. Visitors are always welcome.

Jim Beastrom

Another unique combination of cow families, 4243B is out of 77M - another long time donor dam that continually produces cattle that are functional in all aspects of the industry. 4243B is a big topped, easy fleshing bull that offers correctness of lines and an abundance of rib shape. 4243B ranks in the top 5% for YG; the top 10% for TM; the top 15% for WW & DMI; the top 20% for CW; and the top 25% for YW & REA.

are confident that replacement females out of Influential will be the type cattlemen can build a herd around. Over three-quarters of our cows go back to these genetics, it does not get more proven than this. Influential was a member of our 2015 Reserve National Champion Balancer Pen of Three Bulls. He ranks in the top 3% for TM; the top 4% for YG; the top 10% for WW, YW & CW; the top 15% for MK; and the top 20% for DMI and FPI. Retaining ½ semen interest.

A purebred son of Hott Dam 31L, 4283B is lone spined, thick topped and very correct off his feet and legs. This bull has a big future and keeps getting better and better with age. His sire, Gentleman Jack is a bull that we continue to use for his consistency, low actual birth weights and big time performance. He ranks in the top 3% for MK and TM; and the top 25% for WW, YW, CEM, & CW.

This is a herd bull that offers size, growth and performance, and is from a cow fam-ily that goes back to our donor Mallorie (who has raised many past sale toppers). There is longevity and consistency in this pedigree. If you are looking for a red outcross bull that will increase your performance, 4267B1 is worth a look. He ranks in the top 10% for WW; the top 20% for TM; the top 25% for CW; and the top 30% for YW.

Lot 9

bulls are stout, strong topped, soggy bellied and are always at the top of our sale. We feel that 4804B is another great example of the consistent quality that the Miss Rhonda females offer. 4804B has big weaning and yearling weights, gained 4.87 pounds per day and ranks in the top 20% of the breed for weaning and 25% for yearling EPDs. 4804B has all the makings of a great herd sire. We really like him for his power, stoutness, big hip and muscle mass. Being 75% Gelbvieh he is a great option for both Balancer and purebred breeders.

4275B is another bull that we are pretty excited about - phenotypically he is flaw-less. He offers plenty of extension, thickness and is loaded with red meat.

474B is almost identical in phenotype as his half brother (Lot 10) and offers the same performance from the cow side.

“Gelbvieh genetics bring many vital traits to the table, including growth, muscling, milk production, and fertility. These traits are in high demand, particularly to help improve the efficiency of beef production and to reduce the cost of beef for consumers. Balancer cattle offer the option of having a bull battery made up only of Balancer bulls, allowing producers to take advantage of retained heterosis.” – Dr. Jason Ahola, Colorado State University

Genomic-Enhanced EPDsA select number of the bulls in this year’s sale sell with

genomic-enhanced EPDs (GE EPDs). Those bulls with GE EPDs are indicated in the lot listing, right below the Adj. YW.

GE EPDs combine pedigree, individual performance and genomic information to save time and money, reduce risk, and accelerate the rate of genetic progress.

The information from the genomic data can be as informative as a bull’s first calf crop or a cow’s lifetime production record. Since the genomic data is incorporated directly into the EPDs, cattle producers will not have to learn how to interpret the new data.

Multi-Breed Genetic EvaluationAll of the AGA EPDs are backed by the industry’s largest

and most robust multi-breed international genetic evaluation in the world. Growth and carcass EPDs for Gelbvieh and Balancer animals are directly comparable to Simmental, Red Angus, Shorthorn, Limousin and a growing number of other breeds.

The multi-breed EPDs combine pedigree, performance, ultrasound, carcass and genomic data into one easy to use set of numbers. Seedstock breeders and their commercial customers can have confidence in the AGA’s EPDs to evaluate the genetic merit between breeds for both purebred and hybrid seedstock.

“At Spade Ranch, we use Balancer females because of their tremendous stayability and maternal traits, allowing those females to thrive on limited resources. We believe in the advantages and necessity of crossbreeding to capitalize on maternal heterosis.” – Wesley Welch, Lubbock, TX

EPD DefinitionsListed below are the definitions of American Gelbvieh

Association EPDs and the units in which they are published. The EPDs with an asterisk (*) next to the name are available to members only.

Maternal traitsCalving ease direct (CE): Percent of unassisted births of

a bull’s calves when he is used on heifers. A higher number is favorable, meaning better calving ease. This EPD can be vital to a rancher looking to decrease the amount of calves pulled in his herd.

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

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. This EPD is important to a rancher’s bottom line because it predicts which animals produce daughters with a genetic pre-disposition to calve unassisted as heifers.

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.

Growth traitsBirth 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.

Carcass traitsYield 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 drade.

What is an Index?Indexes are tools that allow you to select for several EPDs

at once, making selections more efficient than selecting on one trait at a time. Indexes weigh traits based on their importance to a producer’s bottom line by using a trait’s economic and genetic value. Indexes are a good way to put selection emphasis on traits that are economically relevant.

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. As an index, this value is not reported with an accompanying accuracy. A greater TM value means a mother that returns comparatively higher weaning weights on her calves. TM Index = MK EPD + ½ WW EPD.

Feeder profit index (FPI): An economic selection index designed to aid producers in selecting sires whose progeny will perform in the feedlot and are sold on grade and yield. Well ranking sires for FPI have higher marbling and carcass weight than their contemporaries. As a terminal index, little emphasis is put on maternal traits such as stayability and calving ease.
