3 Fellow Producers, Please plan to join us for our Annual Production Sale on Tuesday February 14 th, We have a great line-up of genetics to offer, and what we feel, is a very sound group of cattle. Over the past several years - Kuck Ranch - has been in a season of change, mainly due to the hands of time and natural changes that occur as a result of the maturing/aging process of life. One of the biggest changes came in December of 2014 when our grandparents, Leroy and Loretta Kuck decided to phase out of the cowherd and sold their half interest to us (Abe and Kaleb). This transaction naturally resulted in change in the area of internal leadership as we assumed the entire responsibility of the cowherd, an opportunity that both of us are really excited about and we are honored and grateful to have. Some of the other changes that have occurred have been hard personnel changes in the crew, but also invigorating as new team members have brought great joy and enthusiasm with their presence. Other changes have been life-long, God-honoring, and the best kind of life change, as with the uniting in marriage of Kaleb and Erin this past year. Through all of the changes, the fun ones that have made us smile and the tough ones that have made our hearts hurt, one of the things that are most evident is the love that our family has for cattle and the raising of them. God willing, I see cattle production continuing on in our family for many years to come. I think as livestock producers that s where we all relate, it s the common love for the animals, and the different ways that they touch our hearts. Kind of like on a day when things just aren t going well and you re down and a critter might come up and lick your hand or smell your coat as if they know you need a boost, some encouragement and it s what turns your day around. Or your calf crop sells really well and it makes your heart swell with pride and gratitude. Or you find a calf that s in a bad way and they look to you for your help as their caretaker. All of these seem to be examples of how our Creator has things figured out in the connection that we have with our livestock and the opportunity we have to enjoy them. Even with all of the things that have taken place nothing has changed in our desire to put forth the best product/cattle that we can. We purchased the first draft of registered females from Basin Angus Ranch of Montana in the fall of Being new to the business and basically right out of high school, we put a lot of our focus on EPD s, trying to attain the most growth possible, the highest milk, and the best carcass. This certainly paid dividends in those areas, but as years went by we started to re-think this strategy and have been trying to focus on the end product as well by this we mean the mature mother cow that our program will produce. Things like fleshing ability, realistic or sustainable mature frame size, udder quality, leg structure and soundness in their feet. As everyone in the business knows, this is not an easy task, but it s a goal that we are and will continue to work hard to meet. We hope to continue to make progress in our breeding program, giving us the ability to pass the fruits of our labor on to you, aiding you in the quest that you are also on with the goals of your own herd. We feel like the genetic offering of this sale line-up is bringing us all one step closer to our idea of the ideal cow and one that has the genetic capabilities to produce a lot of pounds in her offspring, directly impacting your financial outcome. On a final note, we are always analyzing our strategy in bull development. We try very hard to develop the bulls slowly, avoiding long term physical damage or hindering their ability to keep it together once they ve left our care. Yet, naturally we want them to look sharp sale day. It is our hope that all of you have gotten along well with the cattle that you may have purchased from us over the years. We certainly have a strong desire to get better and learn more. We encourage feedback from you and what you ve noticed with our herd and how we can better meet the needs of yours. Thank you for interest in our cattle and we hope that you find something that meets your needs. Thank you, The Kuck Brothers 3

5 Retained Semen Interest Kuck Ranch is retaining 1/3 semen interest in all of the bulls in this sale offering. The buyer receives their 2/3 semen interest, full possession and full salvage value. First Year Breeding Season Guarantee We want to make known a change that we re making with our First Year Breeding Season Guarantee. There s no change in how we stand behind our bulls, but in the event of a problem we want to explain how things will be monetarily handled moving forward. In the past issues that arose were either handled through a sale credit or a replacement bull being provided by Kuck Ranch. Sale credit has simply been the original purchase price minus any possible salvage value (salvage value going directly to the customer). There will now be a recouping value of $2000 held by Kuck Ranch per animal in the event of a loss, this is being done to at least Break Even or re-coop our input costs on the animal. An Example of this arrangement is shown below: $6,250 (Original Purchase) - $1,250 (Salvage Value pocketed by the customer) $5,000 - $2,000 (Recouping Value Held by Kuck Ranch) Equals - $3,000 (Sale Credit - Due the Customer) Bottom line, the customer gets their original purchase price back minus the $2,000 that Kuck Ranch withholds to break even on the animal. Guarantees: Bulls: - All yearling bulls in this sale offering are virgin bulls. - All bulls have passed a Breeding Soundness Exam provided by Bertrand Veterinary Clinic. Exam summary sheets are available for each bull. - All bulls have been selected for structural soundness. - All bulls have undergone BVD PI Testing and are negative. - All bulls have been de-wormed, poured for lice, received 7-Way vaccination, and have been vaccinated against respiratory diseases. - All Bulls have been determined by testing or lineage to be free of the following genetic defects: AM - Arthrogryposis Multiplex (Curly Calf Syndrome) NH - Neuropathic Hydrocephalus (Water Head) CA - Contractural Arachnodactyly (Fawn Calf Syndrome) Heifers: - All heifers in this sale offering have been vaccinated for Brucellosis (Bang s Disease) - All heifers have been de-wormed, poured for lice, received 7-Way vaccination, and have been vaccinated against respiratory and breeding diseases. - All heifers are guaranteed open. - All heifers have undergone BVD PI Testing and are negative. *Any questions regarding the health program of the cattle please feel free to contact Dr. Larry Marshall of the Bertrand Veterinary Clinic at (308)

6 Understanding The Information Printed With Each Sale Lot Complete performance information is provided for each animal. The ratios are calculated in separate contemporary groups and conditions they were raised under, so that a ratio of 100 will not necessarily correlate to the same weight between the different groups. We have calculated interim EPDs for cattle that do not yet have official EPDs. Expected Progency Difference (EPD) is the estimate of how future progeny of each sire are expected to perform in each of the traits listed. EPD is expressed in pounds, either plus or minus. For example, when used on the same cows, calves sired by a bull with a +40 weaning EPD should average 10 pounds more than those sired by a bull with a +30 weaning EPD. EPDs in this catalog are current as of catalog press time. Updated EPDs can be viewed at Birth (BW) EPD is a predictor of progeny birth weight attributed to the parent. Weaning (WW) and Yearling (YW) EPDs are predictors of the animal s ability to transmit weaning growth and yearling growth to its progeny. Milk EPD is a predictor of an animal s genetic merit for milk and mothering ability. 4Bull Basin Payweight 107S Mill Coulee Payweight 419 Mill Coulee Barbara K 905 S A V Thunderbird 9061 A&K Joyce B252 A&K Joyce Z804 A&K PAYWEIGHT D438 birth date: 01/10/ birth date: 01/10/2016 tattoo Basin Lucy 3829 S A V Final Answer 0035 Mill Coulee Barbara K 414 S A V Final Answer 0035 S A V Emblynette 7411 Basin Full Throttle 203W Basin Joyce U513 AK Weight 68 Weight 749 Ratio 100 Production 1 WR 100 BW +0.9 WW +63 Milk +24 YW +105 CE HHHH Marb RE $B SC Weaning Weight Individual Adjusted 205 Day Weaning Weight Calving Ease Rating (CE) Calving Ease rating is an objective view of what to expect. Several factors go into the rating: birth weight, BW ratio, bull and cow history and accuracy. HHHH Excellent calving ease, use with confidence on any type of heifers. HHH Sufficient calving ease, should work with most heifers and most situations. HH Moderate calving ease, most people will use these bulls on cows, but they can be used on heifers if calving ease is of less concern. H We recommend these bulls just for use on cows. The A&K prefix simply stands for A for Abe Kuck and K for Kaleb Kuck Birth Weight (actual), Weaning Ratio as computed for use in within-herd comparisons. Dam Production is the number of calves and average nursing ratio for all calves raised by the dam of the animal. $B (Beef Value) An index value expressed in dollars per head, the expected average difference in future progeny performance for post-weaning and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires. EPDs for Carcass Merit based on the Ultrasound Evaluation System Marb EPD RE EPD Marbling EPD (Marb), expressed Ribeye Area EPD (RE), expressed as a fraction of the difference in in square inches, is a predictor USDA marbling score of a of the difference in ribeye area sire s progeny compared to of a sire s progeny compared to progeny of other sires. progeny of other sires. SC EPD Scrotal Circumference, expressed in centimeters, is a predictor of the difference in transmitting ability for scrotal size compared to that of other sires. 6

7 EPD s In Simpler Terms Expected Progeny Difference (EPD) Birth Weight EPD (BW) A predictor of birth weight. The higher the number the heavier the expected birth weight should be in the offspring. We suggest using our Calving Ease Rating as another guide in the area of calving ease. This rating takes into account the EPD of the animal as well as the expected build and structure of the calves that they produce. Things such as the size and shape of the calf s head as well as structure of the calf through its front shoulders, etc. are taken into account. Weaning Weight EPD (WW) A predictor of weaning weight. The higher the number the heavier the expected weaning weight should be in the offspring. Milk EPD A predictor of an animal s genetic potential for milk production and mothering ability. The higher the number the greater the genetic potential becomes for increased milk production and mothering ability. Yearling Weight EPD (YW) A predictor of yearling weight. The higher the number the heavier the expected yearling weight should be in the offspring. Marbling EPD (Marb) A predictor of the amount of marbling in the meat. The higher the number the greater the potential becomes for increased marbling in the meat. This has a direct influence on the quality of the meat and carcass value of the animal. Ribeye EPD (RE) A predictor of the size of the Ribeye area. The higher the number the greater the potential becomes for a larger Ribeye area. Once again this has a direct influence on the quality of the meat and carcass value of the animal. $B (Beef Value) The $B is really a way to look at the animal as a whole because it uses both the potential post-weaning performance and carcass quality traits of the animal in the calculations that determine the value. The higher the number the more potential the animal has for an increased value at slaughter in terms of revenue generated. Beef value really says it all because it is referring to the animals genetic potential to have increased gains post-weaning combined with high carcass quality for an overall increased value. Scrotal Circumference EPD (SC) - expressed in centimeters, is a predictor of the difference in transmitting ability for scrotal size compared to that of other sires. The higher the number the larger the expected scrotal circumference should be in the offspring of the animal. Bull Development The bulls in this sale offering were weaned on August 15th, The bulls were never CREEP fed. The weaning weights shown on these bulls are a true representation of what the cows produced for pounds per calf at weaning. The bulls have been on a high roughage growing ration since weaning. With an early weaning date and target weights set early on the bulls have been able to be on a steady gain without ever really pushing them. This early weaning program has proven to be very successful in our operation; in maintaining condition on the cows and stocking the pastures heavier with cows without calves at side. 7

I remember Abe saying this looks like quite a bull, Kaleb! We gave strong consideration to buying him on the Mohnen Angus Production Sale that year, but chose to use him as an A.I. sire instead. Our South Dakota calves continue to perform really well and they have the attributes that we re looking for. We love his pedigree with the infamous Jilt cow family, and especially having S A V 004 Density 4336 in his ancestry. We have been really impressed with the Density daughters that we ve seen over the years and we ve been looking for a way to increasingly incorporate that bloodline into our breeding program. South Dakota has the maternal traits and easy fleshing ability of Density and the growth and power of the Jilt cow family. We re really excited about the genetic potential of his progeny.

She would come up and smell us and the medicine bag that we carry. We soon became the best of friends. Abe and I would jokingly ask her opinion on a particular calf that we might be treating. She would always stand right beside us and watch if we had to treat a calf. That s how she acquired the name Doc. You would be sitting there on top of the calf and she d be rubbing her head on your back. She even remained tame on summer pasture. She s been a lot of fun to have around. 39
