FEEDING AND DELIVERY

We will offer to feed the bulls at no charge until April 15, 2025. Delivery will be free of charge up to 300 miles. We will assist in coordinating the arrangements to deliver. We are not responsible for injury or death to the bulls while they are in our care.

COMMENTS ON OUR NUTRITION

When these bulls were weaned, we put together a GROWING ration not to maximize gain, but rather to develop the bulls slowly and correctly. The bulls are still on this ration today. In the seedstock industry today, it seems that the price we are willing to pay for a bull is affected by how fat the bulls are, and we are not distinguishing the difference between bulls that are fed too “hard” and bulls that are not. A fat bull has the tendency to have feet problems, lower semen quality, and no longevity. He may be easier on the eyes, but if he needs to be replaced in 2 years, is he really the right bull for your program?

Tim has done a great job putting together some outstanding pedigrees. Feel confident that when you make

your visual appraisal of the bulls, they are not lying to you. There’s no “fluff” fed on. We at Pranger’s Feed Mill are very proud to put our stamp on this set of bulls. Pranger’s Feed Mill – Platte, SD

Welcome to the Sale

Welcome Cattlemen and Cattlewomen,

We would like to thank everyone for their interest in our 2026 bull offering and welcome you to our annual sale. Our offering this year has exceeded our expectations, and we are excited for you to see what these bulls have to offer. Once again, we are excited to have bulls from our daughter and son-in-law, Sawyer and Wyatt, in the sale under the prefix RT9. Sawyer has always had a vested interest in the Simmental industry, and it is exciting that we can partner with her and her husband in this way.

Over the years, we have made it our goal to help make you, our customers, profitable. We do that by raising cattle that not only fit the mold with their phenotypic quality, but also pair that with the best genetics possible. We use many tools to make this happen, including individual performance data, EPDs, and DNA analysis.

We have teamed up with the ASA and Allied Genetic Resources to use these tools to help us make faster genetic strides toward our goals. The team at Allied is great to work with and helps us with marketing and DNA analysis. We encourage you to read the RightChoice explanation on the inside back cover of the catalog. RightChoice combines a bull’s specific genomic information with EPDs to evaluate his ability to transmit value and profit.

We would not be able to do this without the support of our family. I would like to thank my wife, Sandy, for everything she does, from making breeding decisions to inputting data. Also, thank you to our employees and everyone who made this day possible. Anyone is welcome out to the farm to view the bulls. We would love to host you and talk about what would work best for your breeding program.

Again, thank you to all of our customers. We are excited to see you on February 24th!

Improved Buying Confidence with Greater Genomic ASSURANCE

Access to more and better information has always been key to making wise decisions. The evolution and improvement of genetic evaluation tools too has given us an ever-clearer picture of the true genetic makeup of cattle and thus a better view of the value proposition. RightMate, powered by Top Genomics LLC is taking the evaluation of genetics and genomics one giant step further. By combining speci c genomic information with the long-proven value of EPDs, this new advancement in technology improves our depth and precision when evaluating the actual ability to transmit value and pro t.

The 3 Accreditation Logos below are designed to simplify bull selection and improve buyer con dence by more accurately describing the genetics o ered and by reducing risk. What this means to you as a customer is a much greater assurance that you are getting both what you want and need from the genetics you purchase. What it means to your seedstock provider is access to RightMate technology that simply sets them apart from the rest of the industry.

ACCREDITED GENOMIC PLUS – For the majority of producers who simply need consistent and balanced genetic improvement, without genomic setbacks, G+ Accredited bulls should be on your list for premium purchase. These sires will absolutely move you forward for both cost reduction and income producing traits and substantially reduce risk when compared to all other evaluation programs. It’s simple, the right genes are in these bulls to help secure a pro table future and the they have great EPDs to match!

ACCREDITED CALVING EASE – Simply nd bulls with the ACE logo for third party Accredited, secure Calving Ease bulls. Though we have had tools in the past to assist in choosing heifer bulls, we’ve never had one nearly this e ective. The reduced risk that comes with this genomic certi cation will simply make your decisions easier and your heifer calving season more successful. Purchase special purpose ACE bulls with con dence. They will deliver consistent and predictable calving ease.

ACCREDITED TERMINAL MATE – Just like an ATM machine makes it simpler to access your cash, the ATM Logo highlights bulls accredited to generate extra cash income as soon as your next calf crop! These bulls are meant speci cally to use only on mature cows and for the purpose of adding performance, pay weight and end product value to market.

Currently he ranks in the top 5% for Calving Ease, 3% for Birth Weight, 1% for Weaning Weight, 3% for Yearling Weight and in the top 1% for API and TI. His first calf crop produced the 2nd and 3rd high selling bulls at Wernings bringing $65000 and $50000, as well as TSN Commandment our sale topping bull at $45000. His semen on the Werning sale averaged over $400/unit. His first daughters are calving now and have exceeded our expectations.

A Word from the Sale Manager

It is our pleasure to be working once again with TSN Simmentals. Tim and Sandy have always been at the forefront of utilizing technology and all the tools available to breed better cattle for their customers and this offering is proof that the plan is working. The bulls in this sale are sired by some of the most proven performance bulls in the industry without sacrificing the productive female. Over the years TSN Simmentals has produced bulls that have impacted the breed, and we are excited to offer another great set of TSN Statesman sons who sold in the 2023 sale. His sons in the sale last year were a highlight, and this set of bulls may be his best set produced to date.

Once again TSN has utilized RightChoice technology to make your purchasing decisions easier. Please refer to the information page in this catalog for a description of what the logos mean and how best to put them to use for your breeding objectives. Most of the bulls in this offering received logos for growth, maternal and calving ease traits making it a safe bet that you can find a bull that fits your breeding objectives. TSN Simmentals has quietly been breeding cattle that fit the demands of the industry, and the data of this offering proves they are producing cattle the meet industry demands.

If you have questions about the offering, please feel free to reach out to any of us on the Allied team. We will be glad to assist you in any way possible.

Sincerely,

Marty Ropp, Corey Wilkins and Jared Murnin

TSN GUARDIAN N740

Reference

CLRS GUARDIAN 317G

After the success of TSN Statesman, we chose to flush his dam back to Guardian, known as one of the top genomic sires in the breed. With the exception of one heifer calf, this is the result of that flush. Like peas in a pod, I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them.

The Statesman full brothers. It would be hard to find a more uniform set. They’re very similar both in phenotype and genotype. We’ve went back and forth all summer over which one is our favorite. Interestingly, unlike Statesman, they all earned the ATM logo.

TSN GUARDIAN N110

LCDR ANTHEM 33K

A standout bull from the 2023 sale season. The Anthem sons do a nice job of combining phenotype and genotype. His EPDs rank him in the top 1% for Weaning and Yearling Weight, as well as the top 4% for API and top 1% for TI.

dam. Another uniform group with the exception of Lot 33, the bigger framed heavy gaining bull. These calves were a little younger and out of the older cow group.

TSN GENESIS N566

Statesman half-brothers, sired by Genesis. We were impressed that the H345 cow crossed so well with all 3 sires. Lot 34 is the calving ease, higher API bull, Lot 35 is the bigger, growthier ATM bull. We’re excited to add 2 full sisters to these bulls to our herd.

IRON CREEK NEVER SAY NEVER N348

RT9 BOLD RULER N028

I was very excited on picture day when we ran this bull into the pen, and I got to see how this bull was progressing. He’s got the soft, deep middle we’ve come to expect from the Bold Ruler calves and pairs that with an API and TI in the top 10% of the breed.

HOOK’S EAGLE 6E Sire of Lots 54-57.

TSN EAGLE N704

Reference

HOOK’S EAGLE 6E

What more can be said about Eagle? He’s probably been the heaviest used sire in our herd, and for a bull that was born 9 years ago, his offspring still can rise to the top. He has contributed so much to our herd on both the cow and bull sides.

N133

TSN EAGLE N112

Homo

A 3/4 brother to Lot 55. Eagle has been our go to bull, and he’s crossed well with these 2 High Security daughters.

TSN BALD EAGLE N845

Reference

TSN BALD EAGLE K011

We used this white face Eagle son fairly heavy in our herd this year. He was our 2nd high seller in 2023 going to Forster Farms in Nebraska. He calved easily and has Weaning and Yearling EPDs in the top 1 and 2%. He left us a nice set of baldie offspring.

If you’re looking for a baldie, here he is. This one caught our eye all summer. We used quite a bit of Bald Eagle last year and were impressed by the performance of his calves.

TSN BALD EAGLE N131

This bull is out of one of favorite cows. She produced a top performing Genesis son and has a Bold Ruler daughter in the herd. This bull should add some color and style.
