36th Annual Bull Sale • Monday, February 22, 2016 1:00 p.m. CST • At the Ranch • 20453 Cendak Rd, Pierre, SD
Welcome to our 36th Annual Bull Sale. We are very proud of our 2016 sale offering and are confident that they will your program meet industry demands. We would also like to thank all of our customers for their support and confidence in our breeding program. As you evaluate this group of bulls, you will find that we have maintained the same muscle, growth and performance but have increased the ribeye area and %IMF while keeping back fat to a minimum. The average %IMF is 3.25, which is actually higher than the overall average among most breeds of cattle. It is something that we have spent a lot of time working toward and feel that this set of bulls offers more consistency among sire groups, depth of rib, fleshing ability, and overall balance from top to bottom than ever before. We feel that these bulls will maintain the same growth and performance while adding carcass value to your calf crop. As our embryo transfer program evolves we have been able to increase our selection rate and utilize more of the sons and daughters from our top performing and most maternal pedigrees to ensure that we are producing a more uniform product that meet the demands of our customers. Please join us on February 22nd at the ranch to evaluate the bulls and visit with us about your breeding needs. If you are unable to attend the sale the bulls are available for viewing anytime and all sale lots will be videoed and available on our website www. BeastromRanch.com or at www.DVAuction.com See you for lunch at 11:30 on sale day. Jim Beastrom Visit www.DVAuction.com and register today!

%IMF or Marbling Score...Which is it? How can I Tell? By Patrick Wall, The National CUP Lab With all of the incentives to raise Choice and Prime cattle, it’s easy to see why so much selection pressure has been placed on marbling. However, the industry has done a poor job of explaining how producers can use ultrasound to select for quality grade, how ultrasound “measures” marbling, and why it’s done in such a confusing fashion. Percent intramuscular fat, or %IMF, is the common ultrasound term for marbling, but it needs further explanation to fully understand the concept. In short, %IMF is simply an indicator trait for marbling, much like birth weight EPD is an indicator of calving ease. With high marbling EPDs and carcass quality genetics demanding top dollar in the sale ring, it is extremely important producers understand what they are buying. The major difference between %IMF and marbling is that %IMF is a numeric objective measure, whereas marbling is subjective to the eye of the grader. The correlation is usually around +.70 to +.80 between the two measures. In order to accurately predict USDA marbling score using ultrasound, the same grader would need to be used for every research trial. As a result, a chemical extraction procedure was adopted, using the percentage of intramuscular fat in the ribeye muscle. The collection of %IMF comes from taking a thin slice of the ribeye in the cooler. External and seam fat are removed from the sample. The steak is then frozen, ground up, and ether extract analysis determines the fat percentage from a sub-sample of the ribeye. Thus, a live animal with an ultrasound estimate of 4.0%IMF should also produce a carcass with a ribeye steak that has 4.0% fat within it. This method captures saturated and unsaturated fat cells, both of which contribute to the eating experience of the
consumer. USDA graders can only measure fat or marbling they can see when assessing quality grade. Typical chain speed in a harvest facility often does not give ample time for some fats to “bloom” or whiten before the carcass is stamped for quality. As a result, some animals are sent to a “re-grade” rail in the cooler to allow more time for fat cells to appear to the human eye. Some High Select carcasses will actually reach Low Choice if given this opportunity. Ultrasound machines show intramuscular fat by “hearing” a density change and portraying it on a screen as a grayscale (black & white) color change. Muscle tissue has a different density than fat, thus allowing us to estimate the amount of fat vs. muscle on a percentage basis. As a result, the prediction equations developed to estimate %IMF in seedstock do just that; they do not attempt to mirror any USDA grader. To classify and compare the actual IMF value is extremely difficult. A bull with a birth weight EPD of -1.5 is often termed a “calving ease sire” with little to no argument. However, a bull with a high marbling or %IMF EPD cannot necessarily be called a “Prime or High Choice Sire,” but merely a bull with good carcass quality genetics. The most confusing element of understanding ultrasound data is deciphering which unit of measure is actually under your nose, especially in the case of numeric marbling score vs. marbling score degrees vs. %IMF. As one can see in the table, the number scale for Percent Intramuscular Fat and Numeric Carcass Marbling Score is not one in the same. There is no written law or breed association rule that defines how %IMF or marbling is published in either sale catalogs or advertisements. When data is sent out from The CUP Lab to a breed association or breeder, it is in %IMF form, simply an

in a consignment sale catalog with a published %IMF of 6.25…pretty impressive. However, what was unpublished may scare you. The bull also scanned with 0.75 in. backfat (unpublished) and came from a contemporary group that was fed hard and averaged 4.50 %IMF. The bull was leaned up for the sale and looked really good that day. The chosen bull still looks pretty good for marbling until you figure in the +2.0 %IMF adjustment put on every bull in the catalog. Using EPDs and ratios would have told you the bull was below average in his contemporary group for marbling and should not be selected to help you increase quality grade in your calf crop. The amount of information that accompanies a registered animal has and will continue to increase. With feed costs and high quality beef demand on the rise, marbling will remain one of the most important selection criteria. Be sure you don’t let the numbers and stars get in the way of selecting the right animals for your program
average value taken from 4-5 images per animal. Complex computer models estimate the percent of intramuscular fat within a box placed by the interpreting technician in a consistent spot between the 12th and 13th ribs in the image, reported to the nearest hundredth. Some breeds express the EPD in %IMF fashion, but others convert the measure to Numeric Marbling Score units in order to prevent confusion.
Genomic-Enhanced EPDs
When purchasing bulls or heifers, keep in mind that sale catalogs may express marbling or %IMF in any of the columns presented in the table, not to mention additional data for EPDs and Ratios.
GE-EPDs combine pedigree, individual performance and genomic information to save time and money, reduce risk, and accelerate the rate of genetic progress.
Along with this, some breeders adjust bull ultrasound data to a “steer equivalent.” This attempts to give bull buyers information on how they can expect feedlot calves from a particular bull to grade, offsetting the testosterone effect known to be detrimental to a bull’s marbling. If all breeders used the same adjustment, data would be easier to compare. Unfortunately, a variety of unpublished math problems get used. Some use a base adjustment, for instance +2.0% IMF, which may overestimate the genetic ability of the poorest bulls to grade and undersell the top-end genetics. Others may multiply the actual %IMF or the age-adjusted values. If you are unclear if the data in front of you has been adjusted and to what extent, consult the breeder for clarification. Remember, the bull sale you attend first may differ from the one just down the road or the one you catch via satellite or video auction. (%IMF values in the Beastrom Ranch catalog have not received a base adjustment and are reported as supplied by The CUP Lab.)
A select number of the bulls in this year’s sale sell with genomic-enhanced EPDs (GE-EPDs). Those bulls with GE EPDs are indicated in the lot listing, in the footnote.
The information from the genomic data can be as informative as a bull’s first calf crop or a cow’s lifetime production record. Since the genomic data is incorporated directly into the EPDs, cattle producers will not have to learn how to interpret the new data.
Multi-Breed Genetic Evaluation All of the AGA EPDs are backed by the industry’s largest and most robust multi-breed international genetic evaluation in the world. Growth and carcass EPDs for Gelbvieh and Balancer animals are directly comparable to Simmental, Red Angus, Shorthorn, Limousin and a growing number of other breeds. The multi-breed EPDs combine pedigree, performance, ultrasound, carcass and genomic data into one easy to use set of numbers. Seedstock breeders and their commercial customers can have confidence in the AGA’s EPDs to evaluate the genetic merit between breeds for both purebred and hybrid seedstock.
The easiest way to ensure you make the right buying decision is to use EPDs first and foremost. Regardless of how they get published in the catalog, %IMF or marbling EPDs are your best source of ranking animals based on their genetics for quality grade. Using actual or adjusted %IMF values is risky; here’s an example: You find a bull

Carcass traits
EPD Definitions Listed below are the definitions of American Gelbvieh Association EPDs and the units in which they are published. The EPDs with an asterisk (*) next to the name are available to members only.
Yield grade (YG): Differences in yield grade score, which is a predictor of percent retail product. Smaller values suggest that progeny will have a better lean to fat ratio. Carcass weight (CW): Differences in pounds of hot carcass weight, adjusted to an industry standard age endpoint. Ribeye area (REA): Differences in ribeye area in inches between the 12th and 13th rib. Greater ribeye areas are preferable.
Maternal traits Calving ease direct (CE): Percent of unassisted births of a bull’s calves when he is used on heifers. A higher number is favorable, meaning better calving ease. This EPD can be vital to a rancher looking to decrease the amount of calves pulled in his herd.
Marbling (MB): Predicts the differences in the degree of marbling within the ribeye as expressed in marbling score units. Greater marbling numbers are preferable and are an indicator of higher carcass quality grades.
Milk (Milk): The genetic ability of a sire’s daughters to produce milk expressed in pounds of weaning weight. Calving ease maternal (CEM): Represented as percent of unassisted births in a sire’s first-calving daughters. A higher number represents more favorable calving ease. This EPD is important to a rancher’s bottom line because it predicts which animals produce daughters with a genetic predisposition to calve unassisted as heifers. Stayability (ST): Predicts the genetic difference, in terms of percent probability, that a bull’s daughters will stay productive within a herd to at least six year of age. The stayability EPD is one of the best measures currently available to compare a bull’s ability to produce females with reproductive longevity.
Fat (FT): Differences for fat thickness, in inches, for a carcass over the 12th rib, smaller numbers of fat thickness are preferable as excess fat can be detrimental to yield drade.
What is an Index? Indexes are tools that allow you to select for several EPDs at once, making selections more efficient than selecting on one trait at a time. Indexes weigh traits based on their importance to a producer’s bottom line by using a trait’s economic and genetic value. Indexes are a good way to put selection emphasis on traits that are economically relevant. Total maternal (TM): An index that combines growth and milk information as a prediction of the weaning weight performance of calves from a sire’s daughters. As an index, this value is not reported with an accompanying accuracy. A greater TM value means a mother that returns comparatively higher weaning weights on her calves. TM Index = MK EPD + ½ WW EPD.
Growth traits Birth weight (BW): Predicts the difference, in pounds, for birth weight of the calf. Weaning weight (WW): Predicts the difference, in pounds, for weaning weight (adjusted to age of dam and a standard 205 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to weaning.
Feeder profit index (FPI): An economic selection index designed to aid producers in selecting sires whose progeny will perform in the feedlot and are sold on grade and yield. Well ranking sires for FPI have higher marbling and carcass weight than their contemporaries. As a terminal index, little emphasis is put on maternal traits such as stayability and calving ease.
Yearling weight (YW): Predicts the expected difference, in pounds, for yearling weight (adjusted to a standard 365 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to yearling.
