Friends,

On behalf of the Performance Partners and their families, Marshall Ernst, Jim Roelle, and myself, we would like to extend a hearty welcome to you to the Performance Partners Bull and commercial heifer sale, Friday, February 28th, at 11:00 a.m. at the High Plains Livestock Sale Barn in Brush Colorado.

We appreciate all the interest and past support from longstanding and loyal customers, and always welcome the opportunity to build new relationships with those who have expressed an interest. The Partners in this sale take pride in their programs and take it upon themselves to define and offer working genetics for you the commercial cattle producer. We understand that it is a privilege to be your programs source for an integral part of your program in sire selection and the lasting impact it has on your success and progress in the cattle industry.

We feel the offering is a great representation of the programs we represent. We take pride in the fact that as a sale of multiple breeds, it offers a wide variety of genetics and can be considered as a “one stop shop” of genetics and bulls to fit into your working programs.

It is a good time to be in the cattle business right now. And with that being said, it is more important to be diligent about your business in regard to marketing, producing a value added product, and capturing market share and premiums. I encourage each one of you to challenge yourselves on defining your positions and opportunities. You know your own business better than anyone, now it’s your turn to reap the benefits.

Hope to see you all join us.

Best regards,

Duane

It is our belief, the objective of a seedstock producer is that it should be the number one priority to enhance, ensure, and have in the best interest

of its customers’ success. It is a privilege, not an entitlement, to be your choice, and we need

to always keep that in mind. - Yearous Cattle Co.

management Of YeaRlIng Bulls

1. Remember, your yearling bull has been on a higher energy ration than pasture and ration changes should be done gradually. It is good to let them harden up on pasture before breeding season begins. However the pasture must be good, and they still require extra energy and protein. If turned out on bad pasture or dropped off too fast, they can lose weight rapidly. Research shows that this causes a bull to produce poor quality semen and also affects the bull’s libido. It takes 60 days for sperm to develop and mature. High stress conditions during that time can reduce its fertilizing ability.

2. If handled properly and not dominated by older bulls, a young bull should service 20-25 females his first season. Size of the pasture and terrain also influence this.

3. Limit the breeding season to no more than 60 days on a yearling bull. If you can’t limit the season, consider rotation to give him a rest.

4. Watch a young bull early in the season to detect any physical problems. A virgin bull can have inadequacies undetectable except through observation. If possible, hand mate a young bull to a few cows prior to turning out in large breeding pastures to observe breeding ability.

5. Maintain a good general health program, salt, mineral and fly control.

6. Recondition young bulls after the breeding season to allow them to mature to their genetic capabilities. This is a very critical age as they start losing their teeth at 18-24 months. A young bull consequently eats slower and cannot utilize as rough a feed, or compete for feed, as one with permanent teeth. Worming can make a significant difference as well as a grub and louse control program. Research indicates that a bull’s usefulness as a two-year old can be retarded if not properly reconditioned after use as a yearling.

fIrSt BreeDInG SeaSon InJUrY GUarantee

Applies to Yearous Only

Since insurance companies have eliminated “loss of use” coverage and with the reality that young bulls are sometimes injured during their first breeding season, we at YEAROUS CATTLE CO. have worked to come up the a fair and reasonable way to share the risk with our bull customers.

In the past, with customers that wanted the “loss of use” insurance, we shared one-half the premium cost for coverage. We have decided to continue sharing one-half the risk during this transitional period with the breed guarantee below.

All bulls selling for $2000 or more will be covered 50% by YEAROUS CATTLE CO. if they are injured during the first breeding season and are not able to return to service.

Breeding season is defined as the 90-day period following the first turnout of the bulls.

Fifty percent of the purchase price of the injured bull minus 50% of the salvage value will be given as a credit in a future sale or toward a replacement bull, if one is available.

We must be notified should injury occur and before the bull is sold.

Any injured bull must be diagnosed by a veterinarian and results provided to YEAROUS CATTLE CO. as soon as an injury occurs and prior to the bull being sold for salvage.

A copy of the sales receipt must be provided to YEAROUS CATTLE CO. if the bull is sold for salvage.

All claims must be made prior to September 1, 2014

example 1: A $4000 bull is injured and will not heal. A credit of $2000 minus one half-salvage value will be given to the buyer.

example 2: A $2000 bull is injured and will not heal. A credit of $1000 minus one half-salvage value will be given to the buyer.

example 3: A $1750 bull is injured and will not heal. No credit is given. Buyer retains all salvage value.

This guarantee does not include mortality, a life threatening injury; freeze damage due to winter elements, or mismanagement. We will not replace a dead animal if it is killed or has to be humanely destroyed for any reason.

Plateau Gelbvieh was started back in 1984 and since its inception has placed a great deal of time and effort in the production of high performing, maternal Gelbvieh cattle that are thick and wean heavy calves. Over the years when Balancer Hybrids were introduced, Jim started using Angus bulls and females to produce them. Through an extensive AI and embryo transplant program, Plateau Gelbvieh has utilized top genetics from both breeds to create the high quality product the commercial customer has become accustomed to. As you can see from this year’s offering, many full brothers and many AI sired bulls are represented. Some of the results of this extensive program include the champion Futurity bull at the 2012 National Western Stock Show and the Champion Gelbvieh female at the recent 2013 Black Hills Stock Show, and Grand Champion Balancer at the 2014 National Western Stockshow, raised by Plateau Gelbvieh. The bulls are grown from weaning to yearling on a feed test that is approximately 100 days. Our aim is to develop bulls that have an opportunity to express their genetic potential for growth and still keep them in the right condition to enter the breeding pastures and not melt and maintain sound feet and athleticism. Over the past

several years, we have utilized a Purina impact grower ration that is designed for projected average daily gains of 3.5 pounds per day. They are fed free-choice millet hay and are in large pens to allow for plenty of exercise. The bulls that have been cataloged represent what we consider to be the top end of the bulls we originally evaluated as potential sale bulls. These individuals have been critiqued for disposition, soundness and gain and will all pass a breeding soundness exam prior to the sale. This year we showed a pen of 3 Balancer bulls at the NWSS. We are extreamly proud of these bulls as they were very well accepted by several Gelbvieh breeders. They are very stout bulls. We greatly appreciate all our past customers who have been loyal supporters of our program and look forward to developing new relationships. We present you with this set of bulls for your appraisal. Please feel free to stop by and study the bulls or give us a call with any questions that you might have. We look forward to seeing you on sale day!

Welcome to the PERFORMANCE PARTNERS BULL SALE! All of us at Ernst Herefords give a very sincere thank you to our sale partners Duane Yearous and Jim Roelle and their families for allowing us to participate with them again this year. We believe the opportunity for commercial cattlemen to be able to come to a single sale each year to buy bulls that satisfy their crossbreeding needs is unique.

Ernst Herefords is a family operation. In addition to Barbara and me each of our four children and two son in laws are involved and contribute to the success of our program. Our son Kevin is currently a senior at CSU and my right hand man. He plans to continue his heavy involvement in our operation after graduation. My daughters Melissa and Katheryn do most of the data and collection. Stephanie and Chad, our daughter and son in law in Montana run a group of our cows in the north country for us and are developing a strong market for the bulls from that cow herd. Jeremy, Melissa’s husband helps us with a variety of tasks including the video of our bulls that will be on our website. I want to give a huge thank you to Kevin’s girlfriend Courtney Pisano for all her help this fall and winter. She and Kevin are also responsible for most of the bull photos and the shooting of the videos.

Our goal is to provide practical Hereford cattle that will work in the harsh conditions of the western plains. You will find that the EPD’s on our cattle are fairly consistent from bull to bull. Their birth weight EPD’s are below breed average with most qualifying to be heifer bulls.

Through the test of time the Baldy Cow has proven to be one of the best producing and adaptable females for North America. Heterosis is a benefit the commercial cattleman cannot ignore because of the positive financial impact it has on your operations. Disposition, longevity, growth and heartiness are all the traits that make the Baldy Cow desirable!

We hope you can join us and inspect the bulls for yourself. If you have questions in advance of the sale please call.

Sincerely,

Marshall and Barbara Ernst and FamilyErnst Herefords

Ernst Herefords main herd sire is JA L1 Domino 8619U. “Gordon” as we call him has far exceeded our expectations! He is a Line One Hereford, the most influential line of cattle in the history of the Her-eford breed. Gordon was sired by a Holden Herefords of Montana son known as 286M. This bull has made his mark on some of the best Hereford herds in the nation including Jamison Herefords of Kansas, Debter Herefords of Alabama and Shaw Herefords in Idaho. We selected Gordon for the following reasons; the maternal power of his sire, his dams maternal characteristics, and longevity, the fact he is pigmented in both eyes, has a a red scrotum and is short marked, big footed and moves like a cat. We fully expected Gordon to be an outstanding producer of females to build the strength of our herd while producing solid bulls to sell to the commercial cattleman. Here is where Gordon has exceeded our expectations by producing powerful bulls that are pigmented, big footed with a proven low birthweight over several years of service. His current birthweight epd is 1.1 with a solid accuracy. We have some of his first daughters in production now and they are moderate framed with beautiful teats and tight udders. You can buy his sons with confidence for producing feeder calves and for superior replacement females in your herd!

We bought “Sentinel” as a calf at the famous Bieber Hereford Herd Dispersal. He is unique in that he has a ultra low birth weight epd of -0.8, is moderate in frame, pigmented with red testicles while exhibiting a lot of muscle thickness throughout. He is sired by UPS Domino 3027 and is part of ABS Sire Service Hereford AI battery. 3027 has been used heavily both commercially and in the pure bred industry for the consistent low birth weight he brings and has surely passed along to Sentinel. Sentinels sons are a sound set of bulls that will bring the same characteristics shared by their sire and grandsire, 3027. Sentinels dam was one of our favorites in the Bieber dispersal. Sentinels first set of heifers are an outstanding group that we look forward to getting into production. Sentinel is a “Baldy Maker Supreme” Sire!

351 is coming on strong after losing his mother shortly after birth. This is a Gordon son and a full brother to the lead bull in our reserve cham-pion pen at the 2013 National Western Stock Show. We sold half interest in this bull to Sand Rock Ranch in Wisconsin and are using him in our AI program. 351 has all the parts and genetics to be as outstanding as his full brother. He is so structurally correct and has a great disposition!

Heifer bull with a unique pedigree. 356’s dam we purchased in the Bieber Ranch dispersal several years ago. She is sired by the P606 bull that is a known female producer. With a 1.7 bw epd this is definitely a heifer bull. His carcass trait epd’s are also a strong point. Good looker as well.

Heifer bull with a 1.8 bw epd 358 is one of my personal favorites. A Gordon son out of a 10 year old Felton bred female. Who says low birth weight sires can’t have muscle shape! This calf is moderate in frame but packs on the pounds in muscle. Longevity built into his pedigree through his dam and the Gordon sons just don’t miss.

This is a square made Gordon son that is ready to cover a bunch of cows! He is rugged made with really good thickness and moves like a cat. The Gordon son’s are big footed and can take harsh conditions very well. When you look at the 2 year olds sired by Gordon you will see the consistency that he brings.

Inspired by Paul Harvey’s 1978 ‘So God Made a Farmer’ Speech

so god made a RancherAnd after his good work, God looked down on his paradise and said, “I need more than a caretaker.” So God made a Rancher.

God said, “I need someone willing to start the day early, send the spouse off to the second job in town, feed the cattle, work all day on the land, feed the cattle again, eat supper and to improve the chance of small famer success, spend the evening providing volunteer help to the Rancher’s Coop.” So God made a Rancher.

“I need somebody strong enough to rustle a calf and yet gentle enough to give love and comfort to grandchildren. Somebody to call the cattle, run the machinery, come in hungry, but wait lunch until the Postman’s done with the latest gossip and tell him to take care – and mean it.” So God made a Rancher.

God said, “I need somebody willing to sit up all night with a newborn calf. And watch it die. Then dry the eyes and say, ‘Maybe next time.’ I need somebody who can shape a cattle prod from an oak branch, tube a steer with a pipe and funnel, who can make a harness out of baying twin, and move a sick animal using a pallet and chain. And who, at calving time and winter feeding, will finish the forty-hour week by Tuesday noon, then, pain’n from loading a ton an half of hay each day, put in another seventy-two hours.” So God made a Rancher.

God had to have somebody willing to ride the gator at double speed to get the harrowing done ahead of the rain clouds and yet stop and race to help a colicing horse in the next field. So God made a Rancher.

God said, “I need somebody strong enough to clear brush and heave bails, yet gentle enough to tame a colt and wean cattle, tend to disoriented calves, and still stop to help a lost kildee. It had to be somebody who’d love the land and not cut corners. Somebody to seed, weed, feed, breed, rotate the fields, plant the garden, cook and replenish the self-feeders. And finish a hard week’s work with long talks with family and friends.

“Somebody who’d hold a family together with the soft strong bonds of sharing, who would laugh and then sigh, and then reply, with smiling eyes, when one of the family says with respect and honor they hope more than one of them can do ‘what Mom does.’” So God made a Rancher.

eXPlanatIon of termSCalving ease direct (Ced), is expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births, with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in first-calf 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 ePd (Bw), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit birth weight to his progeny compared to that of other sires.

weaning weight ePd (ww), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit weaning growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires.

Yearling weight ePd (Yw), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit yearling growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires.

Maternal Milk ePd (Milk), is a predictor of a sire’s genetic merit for milk and mothering ability as expressed in his daughters compared to daughters of other sires. In other words, it is that part of a calf’s weaning weight attributed to milk and mothering ability.

Carcass weight ePd (Cw), expressed in pounds is a predictor of the differences in hot carcass weight of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.

Marbling ePd (Marb), expressed as a fraction of the difference in USDA marbling score of a sire’s prog-eny compared to progeny of other sires.

Ribeye Area ePd (Re), expressed in square inches, is a predictor of the difference in ribeye area of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.

Fat thickness ePd (Fat), expressed in inches, is a predictor of the differences in external fat thickness at the 12th rib (as measured between the 12th and 13th ribs) of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.

weaned Calf Value ($w), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for preweaning merit. $W includes both revenue and cost adjustments asso-ciated with differences in birth weight, weaning direct growth, maternal milk, and mature cow size.

Beef Value ($B), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for postweaning and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires.
