Welcome to our36th Annual Bull Sale.purebred Charolais bulls. For those of you wanting to stay in yourblack-hided steer programs, these double-bred red bulls will throwyou black calves.Some of you are probably wondering how we ended up on April 18for our bull sale date. We started with the only barn in the Bismarck/Mandan area, Kist Livestock, and we all know how busy they are. Thelong and the short of it is, April 18 was the first available date. Thereare some benefits. It allows us to have one bull sale a year insteadof two and semen test our bulls prior to sale time. Also, WarrenWoroniecki, our nutritionist, has been able to move our ration downfrom a 53 to a 46 mega-calorie ration to grow these bulls out on ahigher roughage ration. Warren will be at the sale to answer anyquestions.In our composite offering, we are heavy on the black side withvarious percentages of Angus and Salers genetics to provide anopportunity to select for more British or Continental influence. Thesebulls will offer strong maternal traits, excellent calving ease, andtremendous vigor at birth. A majority of these bulls have a moderate5 to 6 frame score. When assessing these bulls, keep in mind thebirth dates because we’ve moved a large segment of our compositecowherd to April calving.I was just reading my greetings to you from our last two years’catalogs talking about how wild the cattle market has been. Then Iwatched today’s market news at the end of February, and it makesa person sit back and analyze. We are clearly on a new plateau andhave to re evaluate a little bit. We are approaching 2300 for a 1500lb fat steer, 1350 for an eight-weight steer, and a killer bull canretrieve over 2000. Now we all know what has happened to ourexpenses, and we don’t apologize for this increasing in our product.We do not creep feed our calves and we are pleased with their rateof gain. It’s interesting to note that the composite sons of Clyde outof our Salers/Angus composite cow herd had noticeably lower birthweights than our purebred Charolais Clyde sons.We continue to DNA test for the Leptin gene because of its positiveeffects on maternal values, weaning weight, feed efficiency,marbling, and general feedlot management. Access more Leptinresearch on our website.We can do some things to take advantage of this market. One isto use this time in our cycle to entice some young people intoour business. We should be able to show them opportunity in thisenvironment.In closing, Effertz Key Ranch wants to thank our loyal customersfor following us through these changes. We want you to know howmuch we appreciate your business over the years and hope that wecan continue to be your seedstock supplier. If we can be of any help,please contact any of us here at EKR.Next, I think we can get more out of our cow herds. Yes, I am backon heterosis. It clearly brings benefits in reproduction, calf survival,longevity, milk production and overall growth. It also allows youto increase the value of your calf crop by being able to split yourfocus between carcass and feedlot traits and cowherd traits such aslongevity and fertility.As to the offering, there will be 78 Charolais and 57 Salers Optimizerbulls. In our Charolais offering, over half of the bulls will be sonsor grandsons of Tenacious. These are linebred bulls with excellentperformance, good disposition and with average birth weights. Againin the mix of our Charolais will be several sons of our red factorRoger Effertz2
