Benchmark Angus 20th Annual Bull Sale2

We are really excited to welcome you to our 20th Makin’ the Grade Bull Sale. We are excited about the genetics we bring to the sale, the extraordinary amount of data we provide on each and every bull and to display and make known the ben-efits of testing for feed efficiency.

This past year, after several years of careful study, we installed a Grow Safe System capable of handling approximately 100 head of animals at one time. This system uses the RFID of each animal to identify and record which individual animal is at which individual feed unit. The in-dividual feed units sit on load bars. A micro processor records a weight for each bunk, each second of the day and assigns the feed disappear-ance to that individual animal. This data is transmitted to a data acqui-sition computer and to Grow Safe headquarters. At the end of the test, Grow Safe along with Dr. John Gen-ho run all the numbers, calculating among others, ADG, Feed Conver-sion, RFI and RFI EPD.

We feel the set of bulls offered are the best in the business, but really, you, the customer, hear that from every bull supplier and quite hon-estly, we all believe in the product we deliver. This is why we provide so much information so you, our val-ued customer can make the most

informed decision possible when it comes to purchasing your bulls. It has been said that 80 to 90 per cent of the genetic improvement in a herd comes through the sires be-ing used.

We have not forgotten about calv-ing ease, growth, carcass and mater-nal traits, for it all enters into the selection process. You must decide how you want to improve your herd and your profitability. We provide the bulls and every measurement possible for you to be more success-ful at raising beef cattle.

We thank Dale and Laura and their family for their faithful service to Benchmark and welcome Wes, Cheri and their family.

Mike and I appreciate so much each one of you as customers and friends as we journey down this road. Thanks for your business and let’s work together in developing the most economic genetics available.

So call if you have questions and remember … Be sure your cattle measure up – use a Benchmark Bull!

Sincerely,

BenchmarkYour Carcass Source Angus

Elite Dams…The Canadian Elite Cow Report is an effort to identify superior cows in the Angus breed. Emphasis is placed on early puberty, breeding and early calving, followed by regularity of calving interval and above-average per-formance of the off spring. The Elite Cow Report requires a cow to have a minimum of five calves to determine her regularity of calving and ability to consistently produce calves with a superior weaning weight year after year. See page 51 for more details.

I think we all know firsthand about feed efficiency. Some of us eat very little and still gain weight. Some of us wish we were inefficient such that we could eat whatever and how much we want and not gain weight. As with mankind, this principal applies clearly with our cattle. Some are efficient and some are not.

We often hear claims by producers that they have and produce efficient cattle. For the most part this is a statement made with no facts and proof behind it as they have not actually tested their cattle. How would one know? That is the dilemma we found ourselves in. We knew the weights on our cows, we knew the weights on our weaned calves and on our yearling cattle, but we had no idea on how to improve efficiency without individual testing of the animals. We run approximately 400 cows, we would like to run 440-450 cows on the same land base. We feed thousands of dollars of feed to our calves post-weaning, we want to decrease that cost by at least 10% and we want to have an improved environmental impact by decreasing methane and manure output.

By selecting for more feed efficient animals, we feel we can accomplish these goals. The goal as set by the National Beef Strategy is to be 15% more efficient within 5 years. We have a task set out for all of us.

Improving the feed efficiency of your herd can result in big savings. 70 to 75 % of our total feed cost is used for maintenance of our cow herd. A 5% improvement in feed efficiency is considered to have an economic effect 4 times greater than a 5% improvement in average daily gain.

Residual Feed Intake (RFI) or net feed efficiency is defined as the difference between an animal’s actual feed intake and its expected feed requirement for maintenance and growth. RFI is the variation in

feed intake that remains after the requirements for maintenance and growth have been met. Efficient animals eat less than expected and have a negative or low RFI, while inefficient animals eat more than expected and have a positive or high RFI. Research has indicated that this trait is quite heritable at about 40%

Dr. John Basarab and collaborating scientists from such countries as Australia, Ireland, Brazil and the US have concluded that selection for efficient RFI cattle will have no effect on growth, carcass yield and quality grade; will reduce feed intake at equal weight and ADG, will improve feed to gain ratio by 10-15%; will reduce net energy of maintenance and reduce the carbon footprint of cattle; and will reduce feed costs while having no effect on fertility of the cattle.

A further explanation is given by Dr. John Genho of Livestock Genetic Services as follows:

Feed eFFiciency ePds Feed Efficiency EPDs attempt to capture an

animal’s genetic ability to put on more weight with less feed. While there are many ways to calculate feed efficiency (such as feed conversion ratio and residual average daily gain), an especially useful way is residual feed intake or RFI. RFI is feed intake adjusted for an animal’s weight and gain. An animal that eats more also tends to be larger and gain more weight. By adjusting these factors out of an animal’s intake measurement, we are able to better understand which animals process feed more efficiently. We can then select for our typical growth traits (yearling weight, weaning weight, or post wean gain) and at the same time select for intake (in the form of RFI) and know that there is no double counting of an animal’s size.

The RFI EPDs are expressed in actual lbs. of feed

an animal will eat per day and is used in comparing one bull to another bull for the predictability of the RFI trait. The table (below) has an example of three bulls with RFI EPDs. We would expect bull X’s calves to eat 0.65 lbs. more feed per day than the average calf his size, bull Y’s to eat 0.35 lbs. less feed per day than the average calf his size, and bull Z’s to eat 0.42 lbs. less feed than the average calf his size. Based on these numbers we would obviously chose bull Z as a sire.

Single trait selection is always a bad idea. RFI is no exception to this rule. Selection for RFI should always be done in conjunction with selection for growth. This selection for growth can be done by looking at weaning weight, yearling weight, or post wean gain EPDs. This will allow breeders to select animals that gain the most while consuming the least amount of feed.

This is cutting edge. You will not find this information in any other Angus sale book in Canada. If you are serious about breeding economical, efficient, profitable cattle, I think you have to take a look. We have to get more efficient while yet producing a product the consumer is wanting and willing to pay for.

We have provided from our Grow Safe Test, ADG, conversion and RFI numbers for your consideration. The actual phenotypic results are the individuals’ actual results on test. The RFI EPDs are a prediction of how the bulls’ progeny will perform with respect to RFI and have been calculated by Dr. Genho.

Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) are the most powerful genetic tool we have for selecting the best animals for your breeding program. EPDs are values that predict how the future progeny of an animal will perform relative to the progeny of other animals in the same breed.

EPDs:• allow breeders to estimate a young animal’s breeding value - that animal’s value as a parent• allow a fair comparison of breeding value by removing environmental bias such as climate, feed and special management • the best tool available to compare animals between herds, countries and year of birth• help breeders make informed decisions regarding breeding stock selection by evaluating numerous traits such as #1 Growth Related Traits (WW, YW, CW, Milk)

WeAninG WeiGhT (WW) Expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sires ability to transmit weaning growth to his progeny compared to other sires.

YeARLinG WeiGhT (YW) Expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sires ability to transmit yearling growth to his progeny compared to other sires.

MiLK Expressed in pounds, is a predictor of the milking ability in a sire’s daughters, representing the difference in weaning weights of calves due to the amount of milk produced by their mothers.

ToTAL MATeRAL (TM) Combines the Weaning Weight and Milk EPD;s with half of the WW EPD added to the Milk EPD.

CARCASS WeiGhT (CW) is expressed in pounds predicting the differences in the average carcass weight of sires progeny. #2 Reproductive Related Traits (BW, Ce, MCe, SC, hPG, Stay)

BiRTh WeiGhT (BW) expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit birth weight to his progeney compared to other sires.CALvinG eASe (Ce) the average difference in ease with

which a sire’s calves will be born when he is bred to first calf heifers, a higher number indicates a higher probablity that his calves will be born unassisted.

MATeRnAL CALvinG eASe (MCe) Predicting the average calving ease with which a sire’s first calf heifers will calv when compared to daughters of other sires..

SCRoTAL CiRCuMfeRenCe (SC) Expressed in cm, is a predictor of the difference in transmitting ability for scrotal size compared to other sires.

heifeR PReGnAnCY (hPG) is a predictor of the percent probability in a bull’s daughter’s ability to conceive and calve as two year olds.

STAYABiLiTY (STAY) is the percent probability of daughters staying in production to at least six year of age.

# 3 carcass Related Traits (Fat , ReA, % iMF)

To evaluate seed stock, use EPDs, pedigree and visual assessment. With EPDs, the concept of “intermediate optimums” works best. Selection for one trait or for extremes generally results in unexpected consequences due to genetic correlations - for example, intense selection for high yearling weight will generally increase birth weight. Successful cattle breeding requires a thoughtful and balanced approach to optimize fertility, growth and carcass merit while improved profitability and efficiency. With all the data that comes with each bull, I’m sure at times it must be overwhelming. In order to use body composition EPDs of ultrasound data to their full potential, a breeder must have an understanding of the ultrasound terminology. Several of the ultrasound measurements are comparable to the familiar carcass measurements. The data is simply collected on yearling bulls and heifers instead of market ready steers. Take a step back from looking at the numbers and become comfortable with the terminology.

RiB fAT: An external fat measurement taken between the 12th and 13th rib - the location a carcass would be split into quarters in the cooler reported in inches. Rib fat is the main factor in the USDA Yield Grade Equation.RiBeYe AReA (ReA): An area measurement of the longis-simus dorsi, or ribeye muscle - reported in square inches. This image tends to be the most difficult to collect and re-quires the most highly skilled interpreting technician. Both the rib fat and ribeye area measurements are taken from the same image. The REA score is reported as sq. in. per 100 lbs. of body weight.RuMP fAT: An external fat measurement taken from an image collected between the hooks and the pins of the animal, reported in inches. The rump fat measurement coupled with the rib fat measurement, is used to determine more accurately the overall external body fat, enhancing the accuracy of predicting percent retail product (PRP). In most cases, an animal will exhibit more fat over the rump than the rib due to physiological process of “laying on fat.” Therefore, more variation is often displayed in the rump fat measurements of a contemporary group than the rib fat. This image is highly repeatable and is the least difficult to collect or interpret.inTRAMuSCuLAR fAT (%iMf): This measurement determines the amount of fat within the muscle (similar to marbling) and is reported in “%.” This measurement should be collected when cattle are maintaining a high level of nutrition. The field technician collects four images and the values generated by the interpreting software are averaged for an overall %IMF. The Angus Associations, both AAA and CAA have adopted the CUP (Centralized Ultrasound Processing) Program for Ultrasounding Carcass Data and are using this information for formulating Carcass EPDs. This is the 18th year we have provided ultrasound measurements as taken by certified technicians. We feel it is very important that you, our valued customer, know what is under the hide as that really does determine value. It has been determined through many studies that carcass traits are highly heritable and that feeding has only marginal effect on the resulting carcass - genetics determine carcass quality!

He ranks in the Top 1% for BW, CE MCE, Marbling and Ribeye. The Top % IMF scan out of 114 bulls and the 2nd ranked bull for marbling on the Canadian Registry.

ranks in the Top 1% for Calving Ease, Maternal Calving Ease, Marbling and Ribeye, in the Top 3% for Yearling Weight, Top 4% for Birth Weight, Top 9% for Carcass Weight and Top 10% for Weaning Weight.

We bought Baseline to improve muscle and docility. He scored in the Top 1% for Docility on his 50K card, as well as in the Top 2% for REA and Weaning Weight and in the Top 14% for RFI.

Weight, Marbling and Fat, as well in the Top 6% for CW. They talk about single trait selection, I don’t think so, Baseline knocks it out of the park in every category imagineable!

The spring of 2013 saw Valerie and I make a trip Kansas to take in the Gardiner Spring Sale. I spent a good deal of time studying Lots 384 through 389, six full sisters out of Prophet’s mother G A R Objective 1885. They were magnificent females, commanding big money and selling dollar-wise as I had ranked them. Spring of 2014, Mike and I travelled to Kansas and apart from the Lot 1 bull settled in on Lot 11 as our pick of 300 bulls , a son of that high – selling donor the year before. His 50K card indicates he is in the Top 1% for Carcass weight, Top 4% for Marbling, Tenderness and Heifer Pregnancy, Top 8% for Docility and Maternal Calving Ease and Top 10% for Weaning Weight and Yearling Weight. His Genomic Enhanced EPDs put him in the Top 1% for Marbling, the Top 10% or better for Ribeye, Carcass Weight, Weaning Weight and Yearling Weight and Total Maternal. Knowing the cows in his pedigree make us very anxious to get his daughters into production.

Reference Sire

Benchmark Midland 81’12Lot 21, Sale XVII, sold to Rod Nelson Farms.

Midland 753 is sired by BR Midland, the $202,000 bull out of the Midland Bull Test who is now owned by Whitestone Krebs and Express Ranches. He is a proven calving ease sire with good carcass numbers and has 6,671 daughters on the registry. He has sired numerous champions throughout North America. The mother of Midland 753 was a donor at Pollard Farms and is sired by the ever popular TC Freedom 104 out of a 1407 daughter bred at Ex-press. Note the 248G cow is by a son of 6807 from the great Sitz Everelda Entense 1137. Angus breeding at its best. Midland has been Zoetis 50 K tested and carries a top 1% rating for Residual Feed Intake which is the difference between an animal’s measured feed intake and its expected feed requirements for maintenance and growth, as well as being in the Top 8 % for Dry Mat-ter Intake. One wonders at times about all the numbers, the math of it all, but it is proven to work. Do check the RFI stats on the Midland Sired bulls as well as the feed conversion results. A good friend of mine, Mark Gardiner, has a motto, ‘Validate, Prove, Compare and be sure to multiply the best.’ Our motto has been, ‘Be sure your cattle measure up - Use a Benchmark Bull!’

TC Aberdeen Pictured

The T 510 Dam of Aberdeen 188’12 has had a storied career with a son Benchmark Predestined 8301 carrying herdsire duties at Benchmark leaving us 174 calves, a son Benchmark Prime Star 9309 used at Benchmark, a son at Rob and Audrey Taylor’s, a son at Hengerer Farms, a son at Byron Hougen’s and two sons at Scott Heuston’s as well as leaving us six daughters as replacements and she is due to calve again this spring. The sire TC Aberdeen 759 (picture above) was the high-selling bull at the 2007 TC Ranch Production

Sale at $77,000 to Lindskov and Thiel. Aberdeen passes on his low birth weight, excellent early growth and great muscling resulting in high yielding cattle. Sons of Aberdeen have topped sales at Lindskov & Thiel, TC Ranch and Elingsons at $ 37,000, $ 30,000 and $ 25,000 respectively. Aberdeen has left us with very useful bulls that can be used on heifers and daughters that are feminine and productive. We sold Aberdeen 188’12 to CJD Ranching this spring so this will be the last offspring available. He served us well.

BenchmarkYour Carcass Source

In our last sale catalogue we talked about the beginnings of Benchmark Beef Inc. and how it has grown over the years. The Benchmark Brand is very well accepted and featured in surrounding area restaurants and retail stores. To keep up and meet continuing demand we have acquired a small processing plant and are now harvesting close to 80 head a week. We will see where that takes us.

Life is a journey and as we mentioned before we are so very grateful to those local people that gave us a chance. Mocha Cabana, Top’s Pizza, Sisters, Pop’s,

Nutter’s Natural Foods, D’s Catering, Premium Sausage and 320 Burgers in Calgary are counted as very special friends and customers.

We have come a long way and learned a great deal in these twelve years. It is a tough business to say the least. The consumer is king and we must keep customers very satisfied. This requires supplying just what the customer wants. Some cattle make the grade and there are some that don’t. ‘Pasture to Plate,’ it is for real at Benchmark!

When you look at this bull’s progeny you will see that he lives up to his name. He is a Game Changer! We love the performance, structural correctness and fleshing ability that he has, as well as, his superb car-cass characteristics and it is clear that he passes this on to his progeny. Game Changer has one of the best maternal backgrounds that we have come across. His paternal grand dam is from the #1 cow family at Ludvigson Stock Farms and sports a 108 MPPA. The high performance dam has a tremendous udder and is very easy keeping and has obtained a 101.3 MPPA and is backed up by 5 dams with over a 102 MPPA. We are very excited about getting his daughters into production.

Game Changer scanned 5.51% IMF with a big 15.4 sq in ribeye with 0.22 of fat cover and had a 365 day wight of 1401 lbs. He had the largest REA and 16th highest IMF score of the Ludvigson 2012 Herd Builder Sale, and that is no small feat with 150 bulls selling.

He sired our Top Selling Red Angus Bull a year ago with Lot 64 and Lot 63 commanding $35,000 and $25,000 from two very well respect-ed operations in Jensen Red Angus and Rowland Ranches. These Game Changer sons are thick and weigh up and carry out cross genetics to most Red Angus out there.

We lost Lorenzen Commitment to injury in 2012. He left us some very well accepted cattle with sons selling to Taylor’s, Crys-tal Creek, Barbero’s, Finstad’s to name a few. Commitment left us with some very useful females as well. So when we came across another Commitment S7206 son at Ludvigson’s spring 2013 sale, we were all over him. 2792Z carries an unbelievable lineage tracing to the living legend Brown Abigrace L7730.

She had 108 progeny sell in the Brown dispersal and she is the first Red Angus female to produce over $1 million in progeny sales. His sire S7206 sires more marbling than any bull in the breed. 2792Z scanned a % IMF of 5.65, ratioing 126, and his marbling EPD ranks in the top 1% as does his BW and Milk EPD. He ranks in the top 2% for Calving Ease, Top 7% for Total Maternal, Top 15% for Ribeye and Top 1% for heifer pregnancy .
