Fundamentals First is a philosophy that resonates throughout life and in all that we do. It means working on the very basic founda-tion of any activity that we pursue. Master the fundamentals first, lay a strong foundation, then gradually improve performance with hard work, dedication, determination, discipline and good decisions. Success without a strong foundation is typically short-lived. Mathematicians unlock mysteries of the universe only after learning to count to ten and then knowing what to do with a plus or minus sign. Great literature is created when the author first understands those 26 symbols known as the alphabet and then learns to arrange them in ways that are meaningful and even poetic. Baseball players will be great once they master catching, throwing and hitting a baseball in order to make it on base.

The cattle business is no different. The fundamentals must come first. A great cow herd is created by focusing on the cow and what makes the cow great. Fertility, udders, feet, frame size, fleshing ability and disposition are the fundamentals that create a strong foundation. We’ve all heard it time and time again; a cow must be able to get pregnant and wean a calf, year in and year out. Their udders must be a functional size to provide ample milk, but not so large the calf can’t suckle. Their feet must be able to with-stand miles of walking over difficult terrain without their hooves cracking or structurally failing. Their frame size and fleshing ability must match the resources available and, in most instances, the more moderate and easier fleshing, the better it is for your wallet. And finally, disposition; we absolutely do not tolerate poor disposition. A cow that wants to hurt someone every time she is handled or wants to flee to the far corners of the pen has no place in our herd. Our kids and parents work by our side throughout the year and we want them safe. Just as we want you safe when you take home one of our bulls. Those are the fundamentals. They come first.

We’ve discovered that focusing on these very basic fundamentals and never losing sight of them create not only great cows, but great bulls. The bulls you see in this sale are a result of over a decade of commitment of putting those fundamentals first. We are very pleased with the offering that we have assembled for you this year.

The principal of Fundamentals First also applies to you, the customer. Along with a solid product, customer satisfaction is another important fundamen-tal that great businesses are built upon. Without a satisfied customer, the greatest product in the world will have no one to buy it. We stand behind our product. Period. No exceptions. That is our unwavering commitment to you.

We are in this business to produce great cattle for you for many years to come and you are a fundamental part of our business. Every bull on this sale is functionally sound in the feet and their dams have good udders. They are fertile, moderate, easy fleshing and have a good disposition. Returning to my baseball analogy, putting those fundamentals first make them a solid base hit. And base hits win games.

Thanks for being a part of the team,

CHOAT LEGEND B220 Sells as Lot 16.

CHOAT NYTOL B197 Sells as Lot 15.

Fundamentals First

• ELITE CALVING EASE• We debated long and hard on even putting this bull on the sale. He is moderate framed with loads of

dimension. Herd Builder and Stayability EPDs in the top 1% of the breed and a cherry red color. With Nytol as his sire and Jed as the maternal grand sire, the fundamentals are all there. So why are we selling him? We still have both the Jed and Nytol bulls to build on and felt we could let this one go.

For more information on EPDs, visit redangus.org.

HB ...... HerdBuilder Index – Need bulls for developing a profi table cowherd and maximizing the value of marketed progeny? Select a bull with a high HB value.

GM ...... GridMaster Index – If you market all of your calf crop and want to increase the value of that calf crop, select a bull with a high GM value to maximize your profi t.

CED ..... Calving Ease Direct – Breeding Heifers? Select bulls with a high CED to increase the probability that the heifers will calve unassisted.

BW...... Birth Weight – Predicts differences in birth weight. BW is included in the CED EPD, so simplify your decisions by selecting bulls based on CED instead of BW.

WW ..... Weaning Weight and YW ....Y earling Weight – Predicts differences in weight at weaning and yearling. While selection based on these growth measures can increase your payweight, be cautious what the bull’s other EPDs are.

Milk .... Milk – Predicts differences in weaning weight of daughter’s progeny due to milk production.

ME ...... Maintenance Energy – Selecting bulls with a lower ME EPD will decrease the amount of feed his daughters will require to maintain body weight.

HPG..... Heifer Pregnancy – Retaining heifers? Select bulls with a high HPG to increase the percentage of exposures that result in a calving observation.

CEM .... Calving Ease Maternal – Another number to pay attention to if you are retaining heifers. Selecting bulls with a high CEM will increase the probability of those daughters calving unassisted.

STAY.... Stayability – The most important trait if your goal is developing cows that stay productive, thus increasing your profi tability. Bulls with a high Stay EPD are expected to sire daughters that remain productive in the herd until at least 6 years of age.

MARB .. Marbling Score – Select bulls with high MARB EPD to increase the number of progeny that grade Choice or Prime.

YG ...... Yield Grade – Marketing calves on a grid? Placing selection pressure on YG EPD will decrease the number of YG discounts on grid-marketed progeny.

CW...... Carcasss Weight – Selecting bulls with a high CW EPD will increase the weight of the hanging carcass, which directly impacts revenue.

REA ..... Rib Eye Area – Need to add muscle? Select bulls with a high REA EPD to increase rib eye area, which favorably increases Yield Grade.

FAT ..... Backfat – Need to reduce waste in carcasses? Select bulls with a low FAT EPD to reduce backfat, which favorably increases Yield Grade.
