3 W WELCOMETOTHESALE! Welcome to our 6th Annual Meat and Guts Performance Genetics Sale here at the ranch in Gardnerville, Nevada! As we prepare for the sale, the mountains above the ranch are beginning to gather snow on them. This is a welcome sight to those of us who have waited all winter to see this snow. This moisture was very much needed across the western region of the United States. We have not changed our format of selling the bulls on the video screen in the comfort of the sale barn. You will be able to view the bulls in the pens alongside the sale barn and return to the sale barn to watch the sale on the screen. The bulls will also be available for viewing on Saturday, March 3rd, the day before the sale. Gary Ward This summer we were able to visit with our friends and neighbors from across the Western United States about the purchases they have made here. The comments were very favorable; weaning weights were heavy and calving ease was excellent on the Ward Ranches bulls that were purchased from past sales. Their calves were born easy and grew well to wean heavy and continued on into the feedlot to finish with good carcass results. These bulls went out into a wide variety of environments from California to Eastern Oregon, Northern Nevada to Idaho. These bulls continued to work hard during breeding season and came back in after breeding season in good shape. Our focus has been, and continues to be, on cattle that are of moderate frame, heavy muscled and deep ribbed (i.e., Meat and Guts ). We also continue to demand cattle with good dispositions that will also finish well in the feedlot. But, most importantly, we want to produce a bull with the above traits that will also produce longevity in your cow herd. Coming back for this year s sale is Joe Gellings from Sunken Canyon Ranch. Joe s bulls were well received by the ranchers. Joe is a first-class person and operator of his ranch in Buhl, Idaho. Also coming back this year, after being away for a couple of years, is Wade Jacobsen of Jacobsen Ranch of Sun River, Montana. Wade and Joe have similar goals and demands when it comes to managing their purebred operations. Look for these very talented cattlemen around the pens on sale day for a visit about the cattle. Our calves are born on the ranch here in Gardnerville, Nevada, and shipped over the mountain to winter in Clements, California. When the calves come back in late spring to early summer to the Carson Valley, the bull calves are weaned and turned back out on grass for the summer. The bulls are able to grow into their frame and develop their feet and legs. In October, the bulls are sent to Snyder Feedlot in Yerington, Nevada, where Lucy Rechel and her crew continue to do a wonderful job of developing these bulls. They leave the ranch as boys and come back as men, ready to go to work for you. The bulls breeding requirements continue to be administered by Dr. Randy Wallstrum. We again tested bulls with the Igenity test. Among other traits, it measures tenderness, marbling, docility and hair coat for being homozygous black. We have continued to ultrasound our bulls to measure for ribeye and marbling. We try to provide as much information as possible for you, our customers, so you have the best opportunity to make sound decisions on your purchases. We feel that these bulls should add value to your program. We will continue to help you place your calves with a feedlot or order buyer program; just give us a call and let us help you. We look forward to visiting with you and seeing you the first weekend in March. Thanks so much for your continued support and confidence in our breeding program!

About EPDs The available Expected Progeny Difference (EPD) numbers are included in the catalog and were current as of 1/24/12, as reported by each individual s breed association. EPD is the prediction of how future progeny of each animal are expected to perform in each of the traits listed, relative to the progeny of other animals listed in the breed database. EPDs are expressed in units of measure for the trait, plus or minus. Performance records allow you to compare individuals of the same herd; EPDs allow you to compare individuals within a breed. EPDs do not allow you to compare individuals of different breeds. Interim EPDs may appear on young animals when their performance has yet to be incorporated into the American Angus Association National Cattle Evaluation (NCE) procedures. This EPD will be preceded by an I, and may or may not include the animal s own performance record for a particular trait, depending on its availability, appropriate contemporary grouping, or data edits needed for NCE. Breed average EPDs for 2010-born Salers calves: CED +0.2, BW +1.8, WW +41, YW +78, MILK +20, MARB +.00, REA +.03 Breed average EPDs for non-parent Angus bulls: CED +5, BW +1.8, WW +47, YW +85, MILK +22, MARB +.41, REA +.30 Calving Ease Direct (CED) is expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births, with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in firstcalf heifers. It predicts the average difference in ease with which a sire s calves will be born when he is bred to first-calf heifers. Birth Weight (BW) (pounds) is based on the measured birth weight of progeny, adjusted for dam age. The lower the value the lighter the calf at birth and the lower the likelihood of a difficult birth. This is particularly important when selecting sires for use on heifers. Weaning Weight (WW) (pounds) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 120 and 280 days of age. Values are adjusted to 205 days and for age of dam. This EPD is the best single estimate of an animal s genetic merit for growth to early ages. Yearling Weight (YW) (pounds) is calculated from the weight of progeny taken between 320 and 440 days of age, adjusted to 365 days and for age of dam. This EPD is the best single estimate of a sire s genetic merit for yearling weight. Milk (pounds) is an estimate of an animal s milking ability. For sires, this EPD indicates the effect of the daughters milking ability, inherited from the sire, on the weaning and yearling weights of her calves. Marbling EPD (Marb) is calculated from numeric scores assigned to each carcass quality grade division. Data is adjusted to a standard carcass weight of 750 lbs. Positive EPD values indicate greater numeric marbling scores at the same carcass weight. Ribeye Area EPD (REA) (square inches) is calculated from live animal ultrasound measurements and carcass measurements of ribeye area taken between the 12th and 13th rib and adjusted to a 750 lb. carcass weight. Ribeye area is closely associated with percent retail product when carcass weight is held constant. Sires with more positive REA EPDs are expected to produce better muscled and higher percentage yielding progeny at the same carcass weight than will sires with lower REA EPDs.

5 Why Salers? Why Angus? Why Not? BALANCED BUSINESS Twenty-six years ago, Ward Ranches purchased its first Salers bull at the Western Spotlight Salers Sale in Galt, California. We had an Angus-based commercial cow herd. The Salers were new to the industry at the time. We tried them because of the calving ease and the marbling quality. We started with 25 to 30 virgin Angus heifers that we bred to this Salers bull, making the calves 50% Angus/50% Salers. The following fall when we calved these heifers, we were surprised at the calving ease and the vigor in these calves. We were immediately sold on the two breeds being compatible with each other. The Angus and Salers offered both the maternal and carcass qualities that we were interested in. As we started to put together a purebred operation, we knew the qualities we had wanted in our commercial cattle operation, and we worked toward producing bulls that would work for the commercial cattleman. We have tried for generations now to build a cow herd that will produce bulls that pass on the traits that lead to profitability for you, the rancher. We want to create moderate-framed individuals that are easy fleshing and carry a lot of extra rib (i.e., guts). They need to have the ability to process the grass and convert it into pounds of flesh. Another goal was to produce cattle that will have optimal feed conversion in the feedlot. Our philosophy is like that of a supermarket. We need to produce a quality product to put on the auction block for the you, the shopper. We know that the Angus breed is known as the Business Breed and that the Salers breed is known as the Balanced Breed. Research has shown that both breeds demonstrate the traits for calving ease, maternal ability, weight gain, feedlot performance and carcass merit. These two breeds, Angus and Salers, complement each other. This sale offers you purebred Angus bulls, purebred Salers bulls and composite Angus/Salers bulls whichever fits your individual program or preference.

WW 610 As a means to provide potential customers with additional genetic information to aid in the selection process for the economically important traits, the Ward Ranches and Sunken Canyon 2012 sale bulls have been tested for numerous traits. Using the power of DNA, Igenity helps you understand and manage the potential for animals to perform and transmit traits of economic importance. Carcass Quality The Igenity profile score for Tenderness score represents animals genetic potential for tenderness as measured by the Warner Bratzler Shear Force (WBSF) test, with 10 being the most tender and 1 the least tender. The Igenity profile scores for %Choice and Marbling reflect extremely powerful multiple marker analyses which are indicative of an animal s potential for intramuscular fat deposition and Choice or better Quality Grade carcasses. The Igenity profile score for Marbling Scores translate to the 100 to 999 scale, where 400 represents low Choice. Marbling score is particularly useful in deciding between animals with similar marbling EPDs or ultrasound data. The Igenity profile for %Choice reflects the percent Choice or higher so 64.4% more animals with an Igenity %Choice score of 10 will grade Choice or higher than animals with a score of 1. Carcass Composition The Igenity profile scores for Yield Grade, Ribeye Area and Backfat Thickness are calculated using multiple DNA markers that reflect the animal s genetic potential for these traits. For example, animals with an Igenity profile score of 10 for Ribeye Area will have a 2.56 inch larger ribeye than animals which score a 1. Ribeye Area is scored in square inches, Backfat in inches, and Yield Grade in Yield Grade scores (1-5). These Igenity results provide a more complete picture of the Carcass Composition potential for an animal. Maternal and Reproductive Traits Reproduction is arguably the most economically important trait for cow/calf producers. IGENITY RESULTS KEY Heifer Pregnancy Rate is a heifer s chance at becoming pregnant over a normal breeding season, relative to other heifers. Stayability is the chance a heifer will remain in the herd until at least six years old, relative to other animals. Maternal Calving Ease is measured as the percentage of unassisted births. A higher value is greater calving ease. These Igenity profiles can be used to make replacement heifer decisions as well as be used to select future maternal sires. Docility Calm cattle are not just about handler safety. Calm cattle eat more, have better response to vaccinations and preconditioning and are more tender. The Igenity profile for docility is the animal s genetic potential to be extremely calm, or to have calm offspring. Higher scores from Igenity for this trait indicate a higher percentage of calves that possess acceptable behavior. Coat Color The Igenity Coat Color analysis looks at the genes that determine red or black coat color. Results are reported as Yes (Homozygous Black) or No (Not Homozygous Black). The black gene is dominant over red. Black animals may carry one or two copies of the black gene. Only homozygous black animals will have 100% black offspring. The result of this test is presented for the black Salers bulls in this sale book. NR (No Result) Some samples may look normal but still are unable to produce acceptable results. This often occurs due to contaminants that are undetectable to the naked eye, dirt, mold or other foreign matter. We invite you to learn more about applying these test results by visiting for additional information. Usingthe1to10 The values listed in the chart at right reflect the relative difference expected in animals compared to contemporaries with an Igenity profile score of 1. Higher scores are not necessarily better it just means that the animal has the potential for more of that trait. For the most informed decisions, use Igenity profiles in conjunction with other selection and management tools, like conformation and EPDs. Select the scores which are best for your animals and your operation. IGENITY and the Igenity logo are registered trademarks of Merial Merial Limited, Duluth, GA.

12 SUNKEN CANYON RANCH SALERS & SALERS/ANGUS COMPOSITE BULLS FALL 2010 Sale Guest SUNKEN CANYON RANCH Joe & Cheryl Gellings, Buhl, Idaho (208) Cell (208) A third-generation eastern Idaho potato farmer, I went to work right out of high school on the family farm. Cheryl and I married in 1975 and started in the cattle business by purchasing 125 Herefords. In addition to raising potatoes and cattle, we also grew grain and alfalfa and custom fed excess hay. Dean Shenton, whom I custom fed for, brought in some Salers cattle and I fell in love with them! We purchased Salers bulls from Lacey Ranches to use on our commercial cattle, loved the results and went further, purchasing foundation females to start our registered herd. We never looked back, running as many as 175 mother cows and continually wanting to improve genetics. We ve purchased bulls from what we feel have been some of the best programs in the Salers breed. As much as we enjoy the cattle, we have also enjoyed the people and fellow cattlemen we ve met along the way. We purchased half interest in the 2009 National Champion Bull, H&S Tonka. Proudly so, we ve now been in the Registered Salers business for more than 20 years. We consign annually to the Salers Supreme, Denver National and Idaho Salers sales as well as private treaty. We have two daughters Alicia, who has special needs, has always enjoyed being around the cattle, and Whitney showed Salers cattle while participating in 4-H for several years. Whitney and her husband now have two children, Hayden and Delainee. We re looking forward to having our grandchildren show their first calf. Having recently downsized our herd has allowed us to concentrate even more on quality rather than quantity. We think you will agree that our small offering to the Ward Ranches sale is an outstanding set of bulls, added to Gary s lineup. We re very excited to have Gary invite us to join him again in this annual event and are looking forward to serving all our past, present and future customers.
