2 Dear Friends, On behalf of the K-State Livestock Sales Management class and the Department of Animal Sciences and Industry, welcome to the 41st Annual Bull & Female Sale! Plan to join us as we celebrate 41 years of commitment to students and beef producers. Prior to the Legacy Sale, we ll also have the opportunity to look forward and imagine a new future with a tour of the new Bull and Heifer Development Center as part of the Cattlemen s Day activities. We hope you will join us in Manhattan on Friday, March 2. For more than four decades, our commitment to our customers has been to provide cattle that are profitable in a variety of situations. This year s offering was designed with that commitment in mind. Utilizing the latest technology, we have sought to build cattle that perform in a wide range of management and environmental conditions. Look through the list of calving ease bulls for use on heifers in all three breeds. Find the bulls in the upper percentiles in carcass traits to hit premium targets, and the high growth bulls that produce more pay-weight at weaning. Look for your next breeding piece to strengthen your herd among our bred female offering. As a department, we take great pride in our university, our cattle, and especially our students. We encourage you to get to know this group of future beef industry leaders as you browse the pens on sale day. Thanks for taking the time to look through this catalog. We strive for customer satisfaction before and after the sale and we are confident that we can help you find cattle that will add profit to your operation. Feel free to contact us or stop by at any time. We look forward to seeing you March 2. Sincerely, Evan Titgemeyer David Nichols Robert Weaber FIND US ON SALE DAY Dr. Evan Titgemeyer Dr. Dave Nichols Dr. Bob Weaber

5 GENERAL INFORMATION LIABILITY All persons who attend the sale do so at their own risk. Neither the sale management, Kansas State University, nor any person connected with the sale assumes any liability, legal or otherwise, for accidents or loss of property. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS Kansas State University is committed to making its services, activities, and programs accessible to all participants. If you have special requirements due to a physical, vision, or hearing disability, contact Bob Weaber, , or Scott Jones, Director of Institutional Equity, Title IX Coordinator, Kansas State University, (TTY) INDIVIDUAL ANIMAL INFORMATION All performance information in this catalog is correct to the best of our knowledge. Data was pulled from the respective breed associations in January All measures are adjusted by age according to each individual breed association. Updated performance, breeding, ultrasound and DNA information may be made available in the form of a supplement sheet on the Internet and on sale day. All sale cattle that trace to carrier animals have been tested free of Idiopathic Epilepsy (IE), Hypotrichosis (HY), Arthrogryposis Multiplex (AM), Neuropathic Hydrocephalus (NH), and Contractural Arachnodactyly (CA). Expected Progeny Difference (EPD) is the prediction of how future progeny are expected to perform relative to the progeny of other animals listed in the database. EPDs are expressed in units of measure for the trait, plus or minus. EPDs are the best overall prediction of differences in progeny performance and are useful tools that aid in selection; however, EPDs DO NOT PREDICT an actual level of performance. For example, a bull with a BW EPD of +3.0 should sire calves that average approximately two pounds heavier than a bull with a BW EPD of The actual weights of the calves in the progeny groups will depend upon environmental factors. EPDs can be used to compare cattle within a breed but CANNOT be used to compare cattle of different breeds. To make across-breed comparisons, EPDs must be adjusted to a common base. For a helpful Excel worksheet: EXPLANATION OF COMMON EPDS Calving Ease Direct (CE or CED) is expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births, with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in firstcalf heifers. Birth Weight EPD (BW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire s ability to transmit birth weight to his progeny. Weaning Weight EPD (WW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire s ability to transmit weaning growth to his progeny. Yearling Weight EPD (YW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire s ability to transmit yearling growth to his progeny. Scrotal Circumference EPD (SC), expressed in centimeters, is a predictor of a sire s ability to transmit scrotal size to his progeny. Calving Ease Maternal (CEM or MCE) is an indicator of the genetic merit of a sire s daughter to calve unassisted. It is expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births, with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in first-calf daughters. Maternal Milk EPD (Milk or MM) is a predictor of sire s daughter s genetic merit for maternal weaning weight influenced by milk production and mothering ability as expressed in his daughters. The trait is measured in pounds of weaning weight. Intramuscular Fat EPD (%IMF) is a predictor of the difference in a sire s progeny for percent intramuscular fat in the ribeye muscle. Ribeye Area EPD (REA or RE) is a predictor of the difference in square inches of ribeye area of a sire s progeny. Actual carcass and ultrasound data are used in calculation of REA EPD. Fat Thickness EPD (FAT or BF), expressed in inches, is a predictor of the difference in fat thickness at the 12th rib of a sire s progeny. Actual carcass and ultrasound data are used in calculation of FAT EPD. Marbling (MARB or MRB) is used to determine USDA quality grade. Marbling is reported in fractions of a marbling grade. A +1.0 MARB EPD would be one full marbling grade higher (think the difference between Small 00 and Modest 00) than a sire with a MARB EPD of The marbling EPD represents the relative difference in the average marbling between progeny groups. Carcass Weight (CW or CWT) is an indicator of the differences in genetic potential between sires for their ability to produce pounds of carcass weight. Dry Matter Intake (DMI) is a genetic predictor of feed requirements of growing animals. It is associated with differences in feed costs and is measured in pounds of dry matter intake per day. Docility (DOC) is a measure of the temperament of animals and is reported as the additional percentage of animals that fall in the two most docile scoring categories. More positive values indicate sires that produce more docile animals. ANGUS $VALUE INDEXES $Value indexes are multi-trait selection indexes to assist beef producers by adding simplicity to genetic selection decisions. $Values are reported in dollars per head, where a higher value is more favorable. The $Value is an estimate of how future progeny of each sire are expected to perform, on average, compared to progeny of other sires in the database if the sires were randomly mated to cows and if calves were exposed to the same environment. Cow Energy Value ($EN), expressed in dollar savings per cow per year, assesses differences in cow energy requirements as an expected dollar savings difference in daughters of sires. A larger value is more favorable when comparing two animals (more dollars saved on feed energy expenses). Weaned Calf Value ($W), expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for pre-weaning merit. $W includes both revenue and cost adjustments associated with differences in birth weight, weaning direct growth, maternal milk and mature cow size. Feedlot Value ($F), expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for post-weaning merit compared to progeny of other sires. Grid Value ($G), expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for carcass grid merit compared to progeny of other sires. It may be the best carcass decision tool for focusing on quality and red meat yield simultaneously. Beef Value ($B), expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for post-weaning and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires.

6 GENERAL INFORMATION HEREFORD $VALUE INDEXES Baldy Maternal Index ($BMI), used for selecting Hereford bulls to use on Angus-cross cows and heifers, when replacement heifers will be raised. Retained ownership of steers and cull heifers through the feedlot phase is assumed, with fed cattle marketed on a Certified Hereford Beef (CHB) program grid. Brahman Influenced Index ($BII), is similar to $BMI, except Hereford bulls are used in a rotational crossbreeding system with Brahman, rather than Angus. Certified Hereford Beef Index ($CHB), a terminal sire index, when Hereford bulls are mated to British-cross cows, and all offspring are sold as fed cattle on a CHB grid. ANGUS AVERAGE EPDS SIMMENTAL EPDS AND $VALUE INDEXES Stayability (Stay), is expressed as the additional percentage of a sire s daughters that remain in the herd to six years of age. It is an indicator of sustained fertility and longevity of cows. All-Purpose Index (API), evaluates sires being bred to both first-calf heifers and mature cows with a portion of their daughters being retained for breeding and the cull heifers and steers are fed out. This index includes both production models and maternal values to form an all-inclusive selection tool. Terminal Index (TI), designed for evaluating sires economic merit in situations where they are bred to mature cows and all offspring go to the feedlot. Consequently, maternal traits such as maternal calving ease, maternal weaning weight and female fertility are not considered in the index.

We also know that there are a variety of traits that contribute to the profit of beef producers. Those traits of economic importance also vary depending on your market end-point and breeding system. It is this breadth of need that motivates us to collect a wide range of phenotypic data including calving ease scores, birth weights, weaning weights, yearling weights and a full suite of ultrasound carcass traits. We know that for traditionally measured calving ease, growth and carcass traits, an animal s own record provides an early insight into their genetic potential. Moving forward, we will offer extensive feed intake and efficiency data on our offering. That information is even more valuable when it is collected from properly managed contemporary groups with significant size. Our job as a seedstock producer is to collect accurate and reliable information to be used in the development of selection tools like EPDs and indexes, providing you with the information you need to make a sound purchase decision. As you review the offering in the 41st Legacy Sale, please note that all of the sale bulls have been genotyped. Genomic information was combined with the animals performance-based EPD to produce genomically enhanced-expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs), which are the EPDs reported in the catalog. Providing additional information regarding an animal s genetic merit via genomics provides a substantial improvement in EPD accuracy for young animals for conventional growth and carcass traits. Improvements in the accuracy of EPD for traits like heifer pregnancy, stayability, calving ease, and maternal traits where non-parents won t have a performance record, may prove to be of even higher value. After all, the decisions that seedstock producers make that result in yearling bulls available for purchase by commercial producers creates almost all the genetic change in the entire beef value chain. Improving the accuracy of that decision point is expected to have significant impact and value. Current DNA genotyping yields increases in EPD accuracy equivalent to the animal having approximately 10 to 30 progeny with data recorded. With our use of genomic tools, commercial producers can purchase bulls with EPD accuracies roughly equal to those of bulls that have had all the available traits recorded for their first calf crop. Know that you can buy with confidence at the Legacy Sale. Every effort is made to document the genetic merit of our sale bulls and heifers through extensive performance testing and data recording for calving ease, birth weight, weaning weight, post weaning gain, ultrasound predictors of carcass merit and now genomic testing. Our dedication to performance testing and adoption of genomic tools assures you, our customer, the most accurate, science-based genetic predictions available in the marketplace today. 4 The Legacy Sale asi.ksu.edu/bullsale

7 PUREBRED UNIT HISTORY Kansas State University s purebred beef herd was established in 1881 with the purchase of an Aberdeen-Angus heifer, Eyebright 4th 7131 (7446), from the Ontario Agricultural College. A Hereford bull and heifer Parley and Miss Beau Real 7th were purchased from George Fowler, Maple Hill, Kansas, in These two breeds made up the herd until it was disposed in 1897 due to tuberculin test reactions and an order from the Board of Regents. The Board s order was the result of concern across the state that K-State s cattle should be practical farmer s livestock instead of purebred animals. The herd was then reestablished in 1901 with seven different breeds of beef, dairy and dual-purpose cattle. PUREBRED BEEF UNIT The Purebred Beef Unit annually runs nearly 300 breeding-age purebred Angus, Hereford and Simmental cows on 4,000 acres of native bluestem grass. The new headquarters is located in Manhattan at the edge of campus. The Headquarters and Calving Center is located near the Stanley Stout Center off of Denison Avenue. This location includes the calving and maternity barn, multipurpose space, office spaces and an apartment for student workers. Animal holding pens, pasture space, processing, feed storage and shop are adjacent to this facility. The Bull and Heifer Development Center is adjacent to the existing Beef Cattle Research Center north of Marlatt Avenue. This location has covered feed bunks and an automated individual animal feed and water intake monitoring system situated in a dry lot condition. The facility also has animal holding pens and a processing area. Mature females are maintained northeast of town about 10 miles at the Cedar Creek Ranch headquarters. This ranch, located just off Highway 13, serves an instrumental role in the teaching aspect of our operation. MISSION AND PURPOSE Our mission is to provide undergraduate students with practical experience in breeding, feeding, management and marketing of purebred seedstock as well as give livestock selection, general animal science courses and students from colleges across the nation the opportunity to evaluate quality cattle. Each year hundreds of students utilize cattle raised at this unit. The herd also provides an opportunity to demonstrate breeding programs for genetic improvement of seedstock, using genomics, performance testing, artificial insemination, embryo transfer and ultrasound carcass evaluation. Applied research trials are conducted using cattle produced in this herd, such as synchronized artificial insemination, feed efficiency and feed additive research. Cattle are also used for teaching purposes in classes such as Livestock Sales Management, Pregnancy Diagnosis, Calving, Livestock and Meat Evaluation, and used for competition in the annual Little American Royal. A portion of the cattle produced in this herd are merchandized in the annual Legacy Bull and Female Sale held the first Friday in March. This sale is unique to the nation because it provides students hands-on, practical experience in purebred cattle marketing. PRODUCTION SALES In 2017, we celebrated the 40th Bull and Female Sale. The success of the sale all started with the first Special K production sale hosted in This first sale was unique to the nation because it was a university sale organized and managed by students. A sale has been hosted each school year since Early sales rotated between Angus, Simmental and Hereford cattle. In 1987, it was decided to sell all breeds in one annual sale. K-State s most distinguished animal was the Angus heifer Manhattan Gal. Her national reputation was the momentum behind the first Special K Edition sale. Manhattan Gal was the Supreme Champion Individual at the 1976 Angus Futurity, and the Grand Champion Angus Female at the American Royal, North American International Livestock Exposition and the National Western Stock Show. The highest selling individual in a Special K sale was Slammer K 04147, a Hereford bull. He was purchased in 1981 by C K Hereford Ranch, Brookville, Kansas, for $12,500. In 2011, a Hereford bull, KSU Revolution 021, commanded $11,100 and went to K-State alums Austin and Emilie Fink of Wamego, KS, and Mike and Shelia Miller of Womelsdorf, PA. K-State s highest selling female was Miss Kansas K 3G, a Simmental donor cow sold at the National Western Stock Show for $16,500. In 2008, the name of the sale was changed to the Legacy sale to honor 127 years of continuous beef improvement. The K-State Purebred Beef Unit might be the most unique experience offered to current and potential students in agricultural colleges across the nation. The educational opportunities available to students producing, promoting and merchandising high-quality purebred cattle continues to play a fundamental role in a program that has been nationally recognized for excellence in teaching, research and extension.

8 ANGUS REFERENCE SIRES OUR ANGUS PROGRAM... Calving ease is a core trait of the Angus breed and we have been selecting for superior calving ease for generations. The K-State Angus breeding program takes calving ease genetics to new heights by adding extra performance and carcass merit and puts it in a stylish phenotypic package. Our Angus cows are managed on real-world Flint Hills tall grass prairie. We don t pamper our cows because we know our customers won t either. We continually select top genetics for use in our extensive embryo transfer and AI programs that complement the fertility and adaptability of our historic cow herd. Going forward, we will add extensive evaluation of feed intake and feed efficiency as cattle are developed in the Purebred Beef Unit s Bull and Heifer Development Center. The Insentec technology installed in the new center enables collection of individual feed and water intake records on all the bull and heifer selection candidates. Feed intake and performance data will be available as a catalog supplement. We continue to evaluate and add technologies to our selection program that are proven to aid in finding the best genetic combinations. You can purchase calving ease Angus genetics with added performance from our program with confidence. We know that these bulls will work as hard for you as they do for us.

12 Getting the most out of your bull purchases by Bob Weaber, Professor and Cow-Calf Extension Specialist Commercial cattlemen should do their homework to help ensure the bull(s) they purchase this year meet their needs. Like most things in life, preparedness is the key to making an informed decision or in this case, an informed purchase. Remember, bull selection accounts for more than 75% of the gene flow in your herd in just two generations. Take the time to do the $500/hour work in bull selection and let some of the $5/hour work wait until after bull purchases are made. Before you crack open the sale catalogs of seedstock suppliers, there are a few resources and skills you should possess. First, make sure you understand the use of Expected Progeny Differences (EPD) and selection indexes. While EPDs are not the only selection information you should consider, EPDs are the most effective tools available to describe the genetic differences between animals within and across herds. EPDs are much more effective genetic predictors than actual or adjusted performance records. If an EPD is available for a trait, it should be used instead of an animal s own performance record for that trait. The EPD removes age and environmental effects that can bias a decision based on actual or adjusted performance records. Use Calving Ease (CE or CED) EPD, rather than birth weight (BW) EPD, if it s available, to select bulls that minimize calving difficulty. CE EPD calculations include BW data and other sources of information that affect dystocia. Second, make sure you know what traits you would like to improve on in your herd. What breed(s) fit in your mating system? If you are using a crossbreeding system, make sure the breed you select fits your objectives. Other factors to consider are: keeping replacement heifers and endpoints for progeny marketing (weaning, backgrounded or in-the-beef). Assessment of these factors will help point you to the best breed for your needs and the combinations of maternal/growth/carcass traits that best fit your operation and environment. Be sure to apply selection to traits that have direct economic importance in your production system. Selection indexes can be very useful tools to point you to the best overall candidates across a range of traits important to profit. Make sure the index you employ matches your production and marketing scenarios. Third, set a realistic budget for bull purchases. Like most things in life, price is driven by quality. Evaluation of a seedstock supplier s prior year sale averages will give you an idea of what to expect in terms of purchase costs. A good rule of thumb is that a quality seedstock bull costs roughly the same as the value of four to five feeder steers in the current market. The purchase cost highlights the importance of making a well thought out decision. Fourth, and maybe the most important, make sure we get to know you. As your seedstock supplier, it s important we know your operational goals. We can provide recommendations from our sale offering that help attain those goals. Once you receive our sale catalog, make a short list of bulls (roughly three times more than you actually need to purchase) that fit your specifications. Arrive at the sale site early to inspect the bulls on your short list. Shorten this list of candidates based on conformation and updated data to identify your purchase candidates. Keep the sale order in mind. Stay focused on the bulls you selected earlier. Sticking to your plan will avoid impulse purchases. Your success is our success. We d like nothing more than to help you make a sound genetic investment! Fifth, after-the-sale bull care is very important and often overlooked. The longevity of your bull purchase and ultimately the return on your genetic investment is dependent on the number of calves your new bull produces in your herd. As a rule of thumb, young sires should be exposed to the number of females equal to his months of age. For example, a 14-month-old bull should be turned out with 14 cows/heifers for not more than 60 days. Make sure that you provide adequate rest between breeding seasons if using spring and fall. Once you pull a yearling bull from the breeding herd, make sure he has adequate nutrition. Remember he s still growing until he s 4-5 years old. During periods of limited forage, he should be supplemented with adequate high quality hay and a protein supplement. Make protein available to ensure the best use of dormant forages. Bulls should be in body condition at turnout. Don t forget to provide salt and mineral free choice, to control flies and parasites as needed, and annual vaccinations for blackleg, respiratory and venereal diseases. An annual breeding soundness exam is recommended prior to turn out. We look forward to visiting with you before the sale and the opportunity to earn your business. We are here after the sale, too, and can provide expert advice in the management of your herd. 10 The Legacy Sale asi.ksu.edu/bullsale

13 SIMMENTAL REFERENCE SIRES OUR SIMMENTAL PROGRAM... Simmental has a long history in the Manhattan area, at the department s Kansas Artificial Breeding Service Unit (KABSU) and the Purebred Beef Unit. We re proud to have had a role in that history. We select to produce Simmental genetics with outstanding index values and added phenotype. Excellence in Simmental s API (All Purpose Index) is driven through exceptional balance and strength in stayability, calving ease, growth and end-product merit. In a planned crossbreeding system, Simmentals provide added carcass yield, growth and maternal strength. Select bulls for use on Angus-based or British-crossbred cows using API to produce great feeder cattle and replacement females. Use the Terminal Index (TI) to select bulls exclusively for feeder and fed cattle. TI will put an added punch in growth and carcass in the progeny. Our SimAngus bulls offer a unique balance of heterosis, maternal function and end-product merit to construct a simple yet effective crossbreeding system that makes feeder cattle that are in high demand. We take efficiency seriously and look to a great future using the best of Simmental-influenced genetics and our own testing facility to add even more value to our customers calves. Going forward, we will add extensive evaluation of feed intake and feed efficiency as cattle are developed in the Purebred Beef Unit s Bull and Heifer Development Center. The Insentec technology installed in the new center enables collection of individual feed intake records on all the bull and heifer selection candidates. Feed intake and performance data will be available as a catalog supplement. Angus Below are reference sires for this year s Simmental bull offering.

16 PUREBRED BEEF UNIT Purebred Unit builds new headquarters; continues the legacy Providing real-world experience for Kansas State University students has been the mission of the Purebred Beef Unit for generations. Each year, hundreds of students have the opportunity to work and learn at the Purebred Unit that sits strategically north of campus. In 2017, the unit hosted a dedication and ribbon cutting for the new barns and the beginning of the next chapter for the Purebred Beef Unit (see photos on back cover). The new Purebred Beef Unit includes the Headquarters & Calving Center and the Bull & Heifer Development Center at two different locations. The Headquarters and Calving Center is located near the Stanley Stout Center off of Denison Avenue. The animals there will primarily be managed in pasture conditions. This location includes the calving and maternity barn, multipurpose space, office spaces and an apartment for student workers. Animal holding pens, pasture space, processing, feed storage and shop are adjacent to this facility. The Bull and Heifer Development Center is primarily a dry lot condition and is located adjacent to the existing Beef Cattle Research Center north of Marlatt Avenue. This location includes covered feed bunks and an automated individual animal feed and water intake monitoring system situated in a dry lot condition. The facility includes animal holding pens and a processing area. The Insentec technology enables collection of individual feed and water intake records on all classes of cattle cows, calves and yearlings which adds to the unit s capabilities of genetic selection and research. All bulls and heifers go through the test allowing the unit to make better breeding decisions in the areas of genetic improvement, nutrition and management of beef cattle for a range of economically important traits and serve as a demonstration facility highlighting the best management practices in beef production.

17 HEREFORD REFERENCE SIRES OUR HEREFORD PROGRAM... Balance best describes the selection strategy used in our Hereford program. Our aim is to build Hereford genetics with calving ease, growth and end-product merit. Hereford is a proven complement to Angus-based cow herds to add adaptability, feed efficiency, fleshing ability, moderation of lactation potential and the added value of maternal heterosis to create replacement females with longevity and profit potential. The venerable black-baldie female is famous for a reason. Baldie cows are a natural fit to Flint Hills production systems. We are confident you ll find value and profit in a planned crossbreeding system. Build your program using our strategically designed Hereford bulls. Ask us for expert advice on the design and implementation of a structured crossbreeding system to achieve your production and profit goals. Going forward, we will add extensive evaluation of feed intake and feed efficiency as cattle are developed in the Purebred Beef Unit s Bull and Heifer Development Center. In the coming year, we ll add extensive evaluation of feed intake and feed efficiency to our Hereford selection criteria to make these Efficiency Experts even more valuable to our customers.
