Dear Cattlemen, Welcome to our 2nd Annual “Where Muscle Still Matters”

Production Sale. You will notice as you browse through our catalog, we put

a lot of emphasis on cow families because we truly believe that behind every good bull there is a greater cow. You will also notice uniformity – thick, heavy muscled cattle throughout the offering. We attribute that to a herd of cows, 30 years in the making, that were all born and raised on our ranch and carry our TREF prefix. We are proud our cattle still carry the true identity of the Limousin breed with the added modern traits of depth, easy fleshing ability, docility, fertility, and milk.

Whether it’s from the purebred side or the commercial end, Limousin has a lot to offer. Yield grade, efficiency, muscle, calving ease and of course the under recognized Limousin cross cow are just a few of the characteristics that makes this breed of cattle perfect for the times.

We’ve tried every avenue to present the cattle through pictures, videos, performance data, ultrasound scans, measurements, and visual appraisals. If you can’t make it to the sale, some very competent sales staff will be available to assist you or call myself and I will help any way I can. If the bull doesn’t meet your standards when you see him, you will be totally refunded.

Come early on sale day. We will have coffee and donuts followed by lunch at 11:30.

To all of you who have supported our program in the past and to those we plan to meet on Feb. 9, a special THANK YOU!

GlennAnd remember, support your breed, buy registered bulls.

About the cattle ...

The bulls truly represent what the Limousin breed is all about, MUSCLE! But don’t think we selected for one trait. They are backed with performance and are the easy doing kind that will leave you some great females as well. And, they are all polled! We are proud of the fact that over 90% of our male calves made it into the bull sale pen. A testimony to cow power!

Several of these bulls go back to purebred unregistered Limousin bulls we were using on commercial cows back in the 1980’s. Therefore, some of the bulls will be registered as percentage bulls though they are purebred Limousin in blood. Be sure to ask if you have a question regarding this.

We will keep the yearling bulls until April 10 free of charge so that we can have them semen tested and vaccinated twice for foot rot prevention. If you would like to take your yearling bull after the sale, we strongly recommend you have him fertility tested before being turned out.

The open and bred heifers need to be picked or delivered by Feb. 20, 2013. We will deliver the heifers up to 150 miles. Please talk to us after the sale about arrangements. We will offer $50 discount on each female that is picked up sale day. The bred heifers are due to calve shortly after the sale so we recommend you bring your trailer on sale day.

This year we had DV Auction video the bulls January 10, 2013. You can view a video of each bull on our website, www.treftzlimousin.com or at www.dvauction.com. All the bulls will have ultrasound data, yearling weights, scrotal measurements and frame scores by sale day. Watch our website and limousinlive.com for this supplement data as it comes in.

If you have an opportunity, we encourage you to stop in anytime and see the bulls and females at home in their own environment before the sale. Give us a call if we can be of any help.

Again this year, we are including a calving ease score based on a combination of pedigree, EPD’s, and calving history from sire and dam.

E - Recommended for cows onlyEE - Should work on cows or heifersEEE - A good choice for breeding heifers

In an effort to incorporate some of the finest outcross red Limousin genetics into our herd, we purchased this royally bred bull in the spring of 2011 from Richmond Ranch in Alberta, Canada. Never have we more anxiously awaited the arrival of a group of newborn

calves as we have those from a quality bull like Richmond Xander. He exceeded our expectations. A set of bulls with tremendous growth, volume and meat and a group of heifers that a cattleman would admire, no matter what the breed.

On top of being homozygous polled, Xander is also homozygous for the Leptin gene, a marbling indicator making him even more genetically superior and right for the times.

If you need a shot of performance to bring up those weaning weights at sale day, want to add some marbling to your carcasses and still keep the muscle, and leave you some big volume females that will milk, February 9 is your opportunity to do that.

Semen available through Limi-Gene and Treftz Limousin.

Exceeding our Expectations ...

Bred Heifers Here’s a rare opportunity to acquire some of the best from within our herd and honestly, they are a struggle to part with. We emphasize easy fleshing, thickness, fertility, disposition and productivity in our females at Treftz Limousin. Last fall, the weaning weights from our first calf heifers calves averaged 682 lbs. on October 6, a testimony to genetics and selection pressure. We expect these ten bred heifers selected from some of our top cow families to continue on that path when you take them home. The bred heifers ran on corn stalks until December 1 and were supplemented with Purina-Lix 38% protein tubs and Purina Avail 4 mineral tubs. Since then, they have been running on a ten acre pasture and fed ground hay consisting of 50% CRP and 50% alfalfa, 5 lbs. of cracked corn/oats, and continued with the same protein and mineral tubs. Heifers were vaccinated with PregGuard Gld FP10 prior to breeding. They were ultrasounded August 26 by Cole Briggs and given Scour Bos 4. Poured with Ivermectrin December 1 and repeated prior to the sale. Heifers were boostered with Scour Bos 9 January 1, 2013. Ultrasound due dates are approximate and we can’t guarantee heifers safe to AI sire at printing time of catalog. Heifers were exposed to cleanup bulls for 30 days, one cycle after AI date. None of the bred heifers are homo polled tested.

A Limousin testimony: Curwood happened to be in the neighborhood shopping for some Red Angus bred heifers in the fall of 2011. Just across the road happened to be our cows with bull calves at side. Admired by the muscle, he inquired how he could get bulls like that and was directed to our ranch. He dropped in at our 2012 Production sale and went home with his first three Limi bulls! Asked if he could consign bred heifers to our sale the following year, the answer was sure!

Reference sires:

ROMN Tow Truck 111T This son of Wulfs Ransom brings big actual numbers to the table with a very balanced set of epds. His daughters have made excellent cows and are now raising some of our top bulls. He is our go-to bull for heifers. His BW epd ranks in the top 2%. Homozygous polled. Semen available.

TREF U Joint 083U U Joint is a Montana/Justice mating that really hit the mark. He has incredible body length and passes that on to his offspring along with the traditional Limousin characteristics of rear quarter muscle. U Joint is quickly becoming a calving ease specialist. His first daughters are really milking and looks like they will fit our program well. His epds ranks in the top 2% of the breed for Birth Weight, Calving Ease Direct, and Scrotal all the while doing it without sacrificing muscle! Homozygous polled. Semen available.

TREF Xpressway 170X A TREF Rifle son out of a great WZRK Genesis cow. He brings a lot to the table which is why we kept a semen interest in him. Easy fleshing, big testicles, depth of body, ribeye size, performance, and a great disposition. Homozygous polled.

Richmond Xander 22X This tremendous, deep, easy fleshing bull with awesome performance is passing his attributes on to his sons and daughters. We are very impressed with the prolificness of his young dam proving behind every great bull is a greater mom. If you want to add some power to a set of calves, he is the one! He is a 2 for the F94L gene and homo for the Leptin gene, a marbling indicator.

VL Yes Man 111Y He was our pick of Vorthmann class of 2012. A thick, meaty bull with good testicles, great disposition and can go either way, on cows or heifers. Homozygous polled.

TREF Warlord 334W War Lord is the type of bull that will add power, incredible muscle, volume, width and downsize frame scores. He covers all bases with a huge ribeye of 18.3, a big scrotal measurement, phenomenal performance numbers and a puppy dog disposition. His dam TREF 334G has been a cornerstone female in our herd for many years and at 16-years-old she is still producing the great ones. Pictured at 13-months. Polled. Semen available.

25

JBV Lombardi 911W Lombardi is a 7/8 OKLF Linebacker son out of a Nobel Prize first calf heifer. He has carcass double bred into his pedigree yet he is soft enough in his muscle pattern to leave some good females. Homozygous polled.

ROMN Justice 34J You will see his name in many of our pedigrees as we have 31 direct daughters of his in our cow herd. He was a breed changer in the Limousin breed bringing superior disposition, thickness, ease of fleshing, moderate frame score, and fertility all in one swoop. We felt blessed to have him roamed our pastures for seven years. Homozygous polled. Semen available.

Reference sires:

TREF Rifle 906R Rifle was bred and raised in our program. This son of Cole Wulf Hunt was initially used for clean up duty but after seeing his first crop of calves, he was moved to the front. He is thick, deep, big nutted and handles like a kitten. He has been siring our highest weaning ratio bulls the last couple of years. His first daughters are raising the big ones. Homozygous polled. Semen available.

SYES User Friendly 524U User Friendly is a homo polled, black son of Ransom that brings calving ease and tremendous thickness. Great topped and deep flanked, User Friendly works great on bigger cows and first calf heifers.

Mr. SYES Warden 472R We acquired this 5 year old DVFC Warden 233K son and are very impressed with his calves. He adds that extra stretch to his progeny with plenty of thickness. He has worked great on first calf heifers. Polled. Semen available.

His sire is TMF Uptown 618U (a Nobel Prize son) and his dam is a Highland Reward daughter that has a +30 milk EPD. His Igenity profile identifies him as a 9 for Maternal Calving Ease! Very well mannered bull. Homozygous polled. Semen available.

North American Limousin Foundation (NALF) Suggested Sale Terms & Conditions Identification of Animals

1. Each animal sold will have a readable tattoo corresponding to its registration paper. 2. Seller agrees to check all tattoos for accuracy prior to the sale. The buyer has the responsibility for rechecking the tattoos after taking possession and reporting any discrepancies to the seller immediately. 3. All animals to be sold will be identified by their official registration numbers, their tattoos and their registered names. If nicknames are used, they should be in addition to the other information. 4. The NALF Board of Directors recommends that, when any animal is sold, there is complete disclosure of any retained genetics in the form of pregnant recipients, frozen embryos or frozen semen. 5. The prefix in an animal’s registration name cannot be removed or changed by subsequent owners. Owners other than the original applicant cannot add a two-, three- or four-letter prefix to the name of the animal unless it matches the prefix in the animal’s tattoo.

Registration Certificates 1. The seller of the animal will submit the original registration certificate with transfer information or an application for registration with transfer information on it so that a certificate can be produced by NALF and transferred to the new buyer. The seller must sign the back of the certificate on the application to authorize the transfer. 2. It is the responsibility of the seller to provide NALF with the buyer’s complete name, address and membership number (if available) so the transfer can be completed. It is important that the membership number be given if the buyer is already a member of NALF. 3. It is the seller’s responsibility to provide the registration certificate or application and transfer information to NALF within 60 days following the date of sale and pay transfer and registration fees.

Terms – Terms of all sales are considered to be cash unless credit arrangements have been made prior to the sale between the buyer and the seller.

Health 1. On all animals sold, health tests will be announced at the sale or printed in the sale catalog. It is understood that health papers reflect the condition of the animal at the time of the sale but carry no further guarantee as to the future health of the animal. 2. Buyers having special health requests or who wish to take cattle into states with specific and rigid health regulations should inquire specifically about the health tests required for entry into their state prior to the sale. 3. All females sold are considered to be calfhood vaccinated for brucellosis unless they are otherwise stated in the catalog or announced from the block. It is suggested that verification of vaccination be written on the health certificate.

Purchaser’s Risk – Each animal becomes the risk of the purchaser as soon as it is sold. It is the responsibility of the buyers to see that their purchases are fed and cared for following the sale. It is the responsibility of the buyers to arrange all trucking for their purchases.

Announcements – Any change from the information that is printed in the catalog will be announced from the auction block. All announcements made from the auction block take precedence over the printed catalog. Cataloged lots not selling will be announced prior to the sale or printed on a current supplement sheet.

Breeding Guarantee 1. All animals are guaranteed to be breeders with the exception of (a) calves under 12 months of age; (b) in the event of any injury or disease that occurs to the calf after sale; (c) gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the purchaser; or (d) females used in embryo transplant/transfer (ET). 2. A lactating cow with calf at side, sold as one unit, is a proven breeder, as indicated by the calf at side. 3. Bulls are guaranteed to be breeders at the time of sale or at 14 months of age if they are younger than 14 months at time of sale. Any bull that either settles cows by natural service or passes a fertility test made by a competent veterinarian is considered fertile. Any guarantee with respect to the ability to freeze semen shall be a separate agreement between buyer and seller. 4. Females sold as safe in calf have been examined by a competent veterinarian or other reproductive technician and are so guaranteed to be with calf. It is the buyer’s responsibility to pregnancy-check all females and report any discrepancies within 30 days following the sale. 5. Any guarantee with respect to ET production shall be a separate agreement between buyer and seller.

Options and Privileges of Return or Adjustment 1. All claims for adjustments or refunds must be made in writing either within six months of the date of the sale or no later than six months after the animal reaches 18 months of age, whichever occurs later. 2. In the event that an animal is claimed to be a nonbreeder, the animal must be returned to the farm of the seller in good condition and must have met the health requirements of the original seller’s state. The seller shall be entitled to six months’ trial following the return of the animal in which to prove that the animal is a breeder. If, at the end of six months, the seller has been unable to prove the animal as a breeder, the seller shall, at the option of the buyer, replace the animal with another of equal value or refund the total purchase price. The return of the purchase price shall in all cases be deemed as full settlement. 3. Any expense incurred in transporting the animal that is claimed to be a nonbreeder shall be the responsibility of the purchaser except that the seller shall be responsible for transportation costs in the excess of the distance between the purchaser’s farm and the location of the sale. If the seller proves the animal to be a breeder, it shall be the obligation of the purchaser to take

delivery of the animal and pay all expenses incurred for transportation. 4. It is the obligation of the buyer and seller to negotiate any settlements on cattle that have not been properly represented at a sale. The selling of an animal constitutes a contract between buyer and seller, and it is not the responsibility nor the right of NALF or of the sale-management firm to settle disagreements between buyers and sellers of cattle that have not been properly represented. The return of an animal at the expense of the purchaser with a refund of the purchase price made by the seller is in all cases considered a complete settlement. Other settlements, which are negotiated between buyer and seller, may be equitable to cover instances in which cattle are not as represented sale day, but that does not warrant complete return of the animal.

Blood-Typing for Parentage Verification 1. If, at some time, the purchaser raises a question as to the accurate parentage of an animal he has purchased, it may be settled by blood-typing. Blood samples will be taken by a licensed veterinarian of the animal in question and of its sire and dam if they are not currently on file. The verification of the parentage test will be made by NALF’s approved laboratory (MMI Genomics). The results of these tests will be sent directly to NALF and will be sent on to both the purchaser and the seller so they will be aware of the official results. 2. If the blood tests indicate that the animal is not as it was registered originally, the seller will reimburse the buyer for the test and will refund the total purchase price of the animal or replace the animal with another of equal quality and value as determined by the purchaser. 3. It is important to remember that blood-typing is not 100 percent exclusive and that it simply identifies animals that will qualify as the parents or animals that cannot be the parents. 4. All bulls born after December 31, 1990, that are to be used for artificial insemination (AI) must be parent-verified by blood-typing (both the sire and dam). All females born after July 1, 1987, that are to be used for ET and all bulls born between July 1, 1987, and December 31, 1990, that are to be used for AI must be sire-verified through blood-typing. All females born prior to July 1, 1987, that are to be used for ET and all bulls born prior to July 1, 1987, that are to be used for AI must have an identification blood type on file.

Horned/Scurred/Polled Definitions 1. HORNED – An animal with a horn growth affixed to the skull that has or has not been removed. 2. POLLED/SCURRED – An animal with rudimentary horn growth that will not develop into a horn. The rudimentary horn growth may or may not become affixed to the skull at an older age. 3. POLLED – An animal with absence of horn growth. (An animal can have scurs and still be genetically polled.) 4. SMOOTH POLLED – A smooth-polled individual has no scurs and does not develop scurs later in life. Guarantees 1. If an animal is sold as polled or polled/scurred and proves to be horned, the seller shall be obligated to refund the purchase price upon return of the animal to the farm of the seller at the expense of the seller or may be exchanged for a polled animal of equal value, whichever is acceptable to the buyer. The buyer has 30 days from date of sale to notify the seller that an adjustment is in order. 2. If an animal is sold as smooth-polled and proves to be scurred, the seller shall be obligated to refund the price upon return of the animal to the farm of the seller at the expense of the seller or, at the buyer’s option, shall be exchanged for a smooth-polled animal of equal value. 3. If an animal is sold as polled and develops scurs, the seller will not be obligated to make any adjustment because a scurred animal is considered polled. 4. If an animal is sold as polled and has scurs, it shall be announced at the time of sale that the animal has scurs. If it is not announced and the buyer finds before the animal leaves the sale premises that the animal has scurs, the buyer must notify the seller of the findings. The seller shall then be obligated to refund the purchase price.

Disclosure of Retained Genetics Because the sale of a registered Limousin animal constitutes the transfer of ownership of all, or a portion of, a “genetic package,” it is the sellers responsibility to inform potential buyers of all retained genetics of animals in circumstances where potential exists for buyers to be mislead. This includes, but is not limited to, semen collected and frozen prior to sale, embryos flushed, existing clones as either live animals or embryos, and cows carrying the service of an offered bull.

Disclosure of Tests Results for Known Genetic Defects & Factors 1. The seller shall have an affirmative duty to notify the buyer of any test results for genetic defects or genetic factors not otherwise reflected on an animal’s pedigree. 2. Nothing contained herein should be construed to relieve the parties from complying fully with the rules and policies of NALF relating to genetic defects generally or individually.

Limitations of Obligations 1. If these suggested terms and conditions are adopted, they should constitute a contract between the buyer and seller for each animal sold under these terms, as such; and it should be binding upon both parties. Animals resold following purchase in a sale shall constitute a separate transaction, and the privileges and obligations of the original two parties connected thereto are not covered by the terms and conditions of sale. 2. NALF, its directors and employees are not in any way responsible or liable for enforcing the suggested terms and conditions of any agreement involving transactions between buyers and sellers.
