2 Olsen Ranches, Inc. Annual Bull Sale January 24, 2015 Sale -12:30 pm Lunch Available Harrisburg, Nebraska Welcome to Olsen Ranches! The future looks very exciting for cow/calf producers. With cattle numbers low, we have experienced record prices. We also had a good grass year in this area, which was quite a change from the last couple years. We all realize that expansion of the cow herd will happen, and this will impact our markets in the future. The bulls that you purchase this year will produce calves in the coming years where quality of cattle will be more important than today s cattlehungry marketplace. We would encourage you to evaluate our bulls and consider how they would fit your operation with these exciting years ahead. We take pride in our commercial cow herd and the demand we have for our harvest ready cattle. Our last set of steers graded 95% choice or better. We are focused on maternal cows that will produce calves that are desirable for the market place and the consumer of the beef they produce. We believe these bulls have the ability to fit in a straight breeding program to increase calf value or crossbreeding program to gain heterosis and complement the industry s cow herd. These bulls were feed efficiency tested from March 6, 2014, to May 30, We are able to measure very accurate feed intake on individual animals through our GrowSafe system. All sale bulls also have Genomic Enhanced EPDs. This enhancement is done by combining a DNA test with the conventional EPD and allows for an animal to have more accuracy for each trait. As we have developed our registered Hereford cattle, we have chosen sires that have already proven themselves in our commercial herd. The steers out of our commercial cows routinely grade 85-95% choice or prime. At our sale, the bulls will have a base price. If more than one person is interested in a particular bull, the price of that bull will be raised in $100 increments. We would enjoy the opportunity to visit with you about our program or answer any questions you may have. We are located 25 miles south of Scottsbluff or 17 miles north of Kimball on Highway 71, and 10 miles west on Banner County Road 14. You will find us very open and honest about our cattle. Feel free to call and make arrangements anytime to view our cow herd or our bulls. We believe there is value in these bulls for the producer selling weaned calves or retained ownership. If you cannot attend the sale on the 24 th, please contact us and we will accommodate you. Thank you for letting us show you how our bulls could work for you.

EPDs for 2013 Born Calves Olsen 2013 Sale Bull Average EPD $25 $21 $28 Breed Avg. EPDs for 2013 Born Calves $17 $15 $21 Because of data collected on animals in a pedigree, EPDs are superior to an animal s actual measurements in predicting an animal s genetic potential. For more information about the American Hereford Association s performance measurements, check or the preface of the AHA sire summary under Records/TPR. Performance pedigrees of the animals can also be found on AHA s website through an EPD Search using the guest option and using the animal s name or registration number to look up any animal. Contemporary Groups Please note there are different contemporary groups represented with these bulls. The number of animals in the Yearling Weight group for each animal in this catalog is posted in the information box. ADG Weight and Terms Trial March 6 May 30, 2014 The average daily gain of the individual during the 70 day feed efficiency test 5/30 WT The actual weight at the end of the feed efficiency test F/G ADJ F/G RFI The feed to gain ratio during the 70 day feed efficiency test - note that a lower ratio is more feed efficient The feed to gain ratio during the 70 day test that is adjusted for an animal s body weight The Residual Feed Intake is the difference between an animal s actual feed intake and its expected feed intake based on its size and growth over a specified period. An animal with a lower RFI value is more feed efficient. RG FE Index The Residual Gain is the difference between an animal s actual gain and its expected gain based on intake and body weight. An animal with a higher value is more efficient. Index is an index that combines the value of gain and the cost of intake. Lower is more desirable.
