— Open House & Online Auction — October 23-25, 2020 At the Ranch…Bassett, Nebraska Welcome Calvo Family Red Angus would like to welcome you all to our open house fall bull sale. We are pleased to be offering this select group of age-advantaged Red Angus bulls. ese bulls have been developed in the Sandhills of Nebraska. We feel that developing bulls is more like an art and something that impacts how he is going to perform his entire life. We develop our bulls to insure structural soundness and longevity to create an honest appearance. ey are not fat feedlot bulls, but rather they are sound footed and hardy from being out on pasture all summer allowing them to “be bulls”. All the bulls are pastured together where they all receive the same treatment. No special treatment is given to poor preforming bulls; for if they cannot perform under the same conditions as their contemporaries they will be culled. We allow the bulls to sort themselves out so that only bulls with superior fleshing ability and structural correctness rise to the top. We strive to offer bulls that have met all of the requirements and have not been made out to be something that they are not. ese bulls are all moderate framed with true muscle and rib shape. ey are ready to be turned out with cows today and will have no problems traveling the country and breeding cows – guaranteed. ank you for your interest in our program, and we look forward to seeing you October 23th-25th.

However, in order to achieve the higher goal of increased revenue per cow exposed, selection pressure must be placed on cowherd- building traits. Red Angus' commitment to Total Herd Reporting allows for the measurement of each female’s lifetime production history; from being exposed to breeding as a yearling, to measuring females’ productive lifespan. Implementing these tools into your selection decisions will have a long-term impact on your operation’s profitability. Calving Ease Direct (CED) - predicts the probability of calves being born unassisted out of 2-year-old heifers. Producers want live calves - born unassisted. Selecting on actual birth weight is flawed; it is influenced by non-genetic factors such as nutrition and weather (ambient emperature). While BW EPD removes these non- genetic factors, Red Angus’ CED EPD is the best predictor of calving ease. The CED EPD includes variation in BW plus other influential genetic factors such as gestation length, calf shape, etc. Heifer Pregnancy (HPG) - predicts the probability of heifers conceiving to calve at two years of age. Many breeds offer genetic predictions of yearling bull scrotal circumference as an indicator of age of puberty. While puberty is a prerequisite, many factors influence pregnancy rate. Red Angus’ HPG EPD offers a tool which selects for what is economically relevant to ranchers - pregnant heifers. Calving Ease Maternal (CEM) - predicts the probability of a given animal's daughters calving unassisted at two years of age. Replacement heifers should be able to calve on their own. Red Angus' CEM EPD offers the industry's most reliable prediction to address that concern. It includes not only the predisposition for a female to calve unassisted, but also her contribution to her calf's traits (birth weight, calf shape, etc.) that make it more likely to be born unassisted. Maintenance Energy (ME) - predicts differences in daughters’ maintenance energy requirements and is expressed in Mcal/Month. Recognizing that 70% of cowherd feed costs are burned up in maintaining weight and condition, Red Angus’ ME EPD allows for the selection of bulls whose daughters will require less feed; thus, reducing cowherd expenses. Include selection pressure for ME EPD to ensure feed costs don’t get out of line when selection is made for greater performance and production. EPD percentiles reflect non-parent Dry Matter Intake (DMI) - predicts differences in daily feed intake as measured in a feedlot during the post-weaning period. animals under two years of age. (Pounds/Low value) 2 OCC VANESSA 797Y 3 There is a Difference… You will find that there is truly a difference in the type of bulls we use in our program. We breed cattle based on how they perform in the real world and are “maternally focused and profit driven”. We pay close attention to each cow family and how they perform against one another. We structure our breeding program off balance, use multiple-trait selection, and understand the importance of having the right type of cow that thrives in a forage-based environment. “A premier, calving-ease herd.” ANIMAL NAME XLot HB CED BW ME DMI HPG STAY WW YW MILK CW EPDs % Footnote 4 5 SAWR IMPRESSIVE 596 –SIRE OF LOTS 1-16 CALVO IMPRESSIVE 1052F #4103312 08-10-2018 A - 100% AR BW 70 lbs WW 560 lbs YW 864 lbs.
