Glossary of Terms and Abbreviations PERFORMANCE and GENERAL TERMS Calving Ease (CE): The opposite of difficult or abnormal calving. An easy calving is one that does not require assistance and does not impose undue strain on the calf or dam. Calving Score (CS): A measure of calving where: 1=unassisted birth; 2=hand assistance; 3=mechanical assistance. Actual Birth Weight (ACT BW): A weight taken within 24 hours of birth. Birth Weight Ratio (BW Ratio): An expression of the animal’s adjusted weight at birth relative to the contemporary group average. Note: There is a difference in expression of BW Ratio between the Simmental and Angus Breed Associations. A Simmental with a below average birth weight will have a ratio greater than 100 (ratios above 100 are more desirable). An Angus with a below average birth weight will have a ratio less than 100 (ratios below 100 are more desirable). Adjusted Weaning Weight (ADJ WW): An off-the-cow calf weight adjusted to 205 days of age and to a mature dam age equivalence. Adjusted Weaning Weight Ratio (WW Ratio): An expression of the animal’s performance for adjusted weaning weight relative to the contemporary group average. Ratios >100 are above average, Ratios <100 are below average. Adjusted Yearling Weight (ADJ YW): A weight adjusted to 365-days of age. Adjusted Yearling Weight Ratio (YW Ratio): An expression of the animal’s performance for adjusted yearling weight relative to the contemporary group average. Ratios >100 are above average, Ratios <100 are below average. N/C: No contemporaries. Test Gain: The average daily gain of an animal for a fixed period of time. Note: The sale bulls were gain tested for 86 days. Test Gain Ratio: The individual bull’s gain performance relative to the contemporary group. A gain ratio above 100 reflects above group average gain and below 100 reflects below group average gain. Note: For the purpose of the Test Gain Ratio, all sale bulls were considered to be in one contemporary group. Adjusted Frame Score (ADJ Frame): Based upon hip height measured in inches and adjusted to a 365-day basis, using BIF standards. Adjusted Scrotal Circumference (Adjusted Scrotal): A measurement of the distance in centimeters around the testicles in the scrotum with a circular tape. Related to semen producing capacity and age at puberty of female sibs and progeny. Converted to a 365-day basis, using BIF standards. Homozygous Black: An animal that will always pass on a black gene to its progeny. Denoted in “COLOR” box as “BB”. Heterozygous Black: Although the animal is black-hided (Black is Dominant to Red), it may pass on a red gene to its progeny. Denoted in “COLOR” box as “Bb”. Homozygous Polled: An animal that will always pass on a polled gene to its progeny. Denoted in “POLLED” box as “PP”. Heterozygous Polled: Although the animal is polled (Polled is Dominant to Horns), it may pass on a horn gene to its progeny. Denoted in “COLOR” box as “Pp”. Note: Sale bulls that were not known to be homozygous black or homozygous polled by pedigree were DNA tested by Igenity. Ultrasound % IMF Ratio: An ultrasound measurement of the percent intramuscular fat in the ribeye muscle, relative to animals within the same contemporary group. Ultrasound RE Ratio: An ultrasound measurement of the area in square inches of the longissimus muscle between the 12th and 13th rib, relative to animals within the same contemporary group. Ultrasound BF Ratio: An ultrasound measurement of the fat thickness at the 12th and 13th rib, relative to animals within the same contemporary group. Note: Calves born as a result of embryo transfer are evaluated in a separate contemporary group for ultrasound traits. ASA: American Simmental Association AAA: American Angus Association BIF: Beef Improvement Federation
IRVINE RANCH RETAINED SEMEN INTEREST Irvine Ranch is retaining a ½ semen interest in all bulls selling in this offering. The purchaser of the bull will have possession of the bull and all salvage value rights. In the event of any semen sales from the bull, then Irvine Ranch is retaining ½ interest in the gross revenue from all semen sales. Irvine Ranch retains the semen interest if the bull is sold to subsequent purchasers. Irvine Ranch also reserves the right to collect semen from the bull at the buyer’s convenience and our expense. This retained semen interest extends to any clone of the bull. If you have any questions about the retained semen interest, please contact us prior to the sale.
IRVINE RANCH BREEDING GUARANTEE AND SALE TERMS
All bulls in this sale have passed a breeding soundness evaluation by Dr. Shelie Laflin, KSU Medical Teaching Hospital. If a bull becomes a nonbreeder within 12 months of his purchase, Irvine Ranch will either provide you with a suitable replacement, if one is available, or provide you with a credit equal to the bull’s purchase price less his salvage value. This guarantee does not apply to bulls that die or are killed. It is recommended that if you use your bull for the first time in the spring of 2012, he should be re-evaluated for breeding soundness prior to breeding time. Irvine Ranch offers this guarantee in addition to the American Simmental Association suggested Sale Terms and Conditions. The ASA suggested Sale Terms and Conditions will be available for your review on sale day, and can be found at: www.irvineranchgenetics.com In our effort to provide both quality breeding genetics and customer service, we ask that you let us know if you are not satisfied with your purchase for any reason.
EXPECTED PROGENY DIFFERENCES (EPD’S): All published EPD’s generated through the American Simmental Association The difference in expected performance of future progeny of an individual, compared with expected performance of future progeny of an individual of average genetic merit. Reported in units of measurement for the trait (e.g. lb., cm, etc.). Production EPD’s: Calving Ease Direct (CE): Predict the average difference in ease with which a sire’s calves will be born when bred to first-calf heifers. Expressed as percentage of unassisted births with a higher value indicating greater calving ease. Birth Weight EPD (BW): BW EPDs are expressed in pounds and predict the average difference that can be expected in an animal’s offspring when compared with another animal in the same genetic evaluation. Birth weight EPDs are primarily used as an indicator of calving ease, with the age and size of the females to be bred usually dictating how much birth weight can be tolerated. Weaning Weight EPD (WW): WW EPDs are expressed in pounds and predict the average differences in weight that can be expected between the progeny of animals in the same genetic evaluation at 205 days of age. Weaning Weight EPDs do not account for differences in weaning weight that are due to milk. Yearling Weight EPD (YW): YW EPDs are expressed in pounds and predict the average differences that can be expected between the progeny of animals at one year of age. Maternal EPD’s: Maternal Calving Ease EPD (MCE): Predict the average ease with which a sire’s daughters will calve as first-calf heifers when compared to the daughters of another sire in the same evaluation. Expressed as percentage of unassisted births. Maternal Milk EPD (MM): Milk EPDs are expressed as pounds of calf weaned by a bull’s daughters. They reflect the average differences in weaning weight that can be expected in grand progeny due to the milking ability of a bull’s daughters. Available feed resources will dictate the extent to which milking ability should be selected. Maternal Weaning Weight EPD (MWW): Total Maternal EPDs are expressed as pounds of calf weaned by an animal’s daughters. They account for average differences that can be expected from both weaning weight direct as well as from milk, and measure a sire’s ability to transmit milk production and growth rate through his daughters. Stayability EPD (STAY): Stayability is defined as the probability that a sire’s daughters entering the herd will stay in production through 6 years of age. The Stayability EPD provides an estimate of how long a sire’s daughters will stay in the herd compared to another sire in the same evaluation. Higher values indicate greater stayability. Carcass EPD’s: Carcass Weight EPD (CW): CW EPD’s estimate average differences in carcass weight, expressed in pounds at a given age endpoint. Yield Grade EPD (YG): Predict the average differences in cutability that can be expected between the progeny of animals at a given age endpoint. As with all EPDs, YG is expressed as a deviation. Negative values are desirable. To use it, one must keep in mind that it is in yield grade units. Therefore, lower is better. For example, a bull with a -.33 YG EPD would be expected to sire offspring that are 1/3 of yield grade better (lower) than a zero bull. If zero bulls sired an average yield of 3.0 in a particular environment and management system, offspring of a .33 bull would be expected to have an average yield grade of 2.67 (1/3 of a yield grade better/lower). (Simmental) Marbling EPD (MAR OR IMF): Predict the average difference in USDA Quality Grade in an animal’s progeny when compared to the progeny of another animal at a given age endpoint. Expressed in numerical marbling score where one point equals one USDA marbling score. Backfat EPD (BF or FAT): Estimate the average differences that are expected in external fat thickness at the 12th and 13th rib between progeny of different animals. Expressed in inches at a given age endpoint. Ribeye Area EPD (RE): Predict the average difference in ribeye area in an animal’s progeny when compared to the progeny of another animal at a given age endpoint. Expressed in square inches.
SIMMENTAL – API $ and TI $ EPD INDEXES: Though EPD’s allow for the comparison of genetic levels for many economically important traits, they only provide a piece of the economic puzzle. That’s where $ indexes come in. Through well conceived, rigorous mathematical computation, $ indexes blend EPD’s and economics to estimate an animal’s overall impact on your bottom line. The same technology that led to the dramatic progress in swine, poultry, and dairy genetics over the last several decades was used to develop the $ indexes. The API and TI indexes calculate the estimated differences between bulls in net dollars returned per cow exposed for two different herd scenarios as described below. All-Purpose Index (API): Evaluates sires for use on the entire cow herd (bred to both Angus first-calf heifers and mature cows) with the portion of their daughters required to maintain herd size retained and the remaining heifers and steers put on feed and sold grade and yield. Terminal Index (TI): Evaluates sire for use on mature Angus cows with all offspring put on feed and sold grade and yield. Consequently, maternal traits such as milk, stayability, and maternal calving ease are not considered in the index.
If you retain replacement heifers use the API index, if not, use TI. Individual EPD’s are still relevant for making improvements in specific traits. The API$ and TI$ provide a valuable estimate of total genetic merit.

Combining performance, phenotype and pedigree, IR Teton X497 is a one of a kind bull. Performance wise, his stats are on the edge of the bell curve in a contemporary group stacked for performance. He is physically impressive... moderate in stature with great muscle expression and structure. The three dams in his pedigree before T992 (H661, F563, B353) have had between 13-15 years of productive life in our herd. X497 weaned over 60% of T992's body weight, which has been typical for the cow family. This is a complete bull. We plan to collect him for in-herd sampling before sale day.

The Females that Sell:
The Cow/Calf pairs selling are a group of home raised cows with 84 years of breeding behind them. There are no culls selling in this group; Only cows that we would be just as willing to retain in our herd. Our program is generating more quality replacement females than we have the ability to maintain in the herd, and we are proud to offer this group. Our ability to offer these quality females is the result of three principal factors: 1.) Use of quality, proven sires through Artificial Insemination for over 40 years. 2.) Disciplined culling – Heifers and cows that fail to meet a high standard are culled. 3.) Embryo Transfer; Our first use of ET was in 1987, with limited success until 2005. Beginning in 2005 we set a goal to produce 40-50% of our calf crop through embryo work. The result has been an improvement in both consistency and quality with every calf crop. The AI sired calves at side represent cutting edge genetics. As a group they rank toward the top of the breed for the All Purp ose Index. All cows are open and should be ready to start breeding anytime fit for your program. If you purchase a first calf heifer(s) remember they are still growing and manage them accordingly to insure they breed right back. A sale supplement sheet will be available to update calf information not available at the time of the catalog being published. This supplement will be available at the sale, and ahead of the sale at: www.irvineranchgenetics.com LOT 42 ASA #:

So, You Bull Buyers Still Look at Actual Weights? By Dr. Jerry Lipsey, Executive Vice President, American Simmental Association
Every year, in every herd, environmental factors (almost always weather) affect the actual weight of cattle. I don’t care when you record the weight; birth, weaning, as yearlings or later in life, the impacts of temperature and related feed availability have huge effects on weights. Can you believe there are still cattle producers who use weight records versus EPDs and indexes to make selection decisions? This past summer, Oklahoma, Texas and several other states experienced an historic drought and heat wave. I can guarantee the weights of cattle in these states are greatly reduced. Birth weights of calves born in Texas and Oklahoma this fall will be much lighter than if they had cooler weather and more rainfall. In the South Central states, weaning weights of 2011 spring-born calves will be greatly depressed unless the owners “pony-up” big bucks for supplemental feed. We all know, this terrible weather pattern doesn’t change an animal’s DNA or EPDs one iota. Neither does prudent or exceptional care. Anyone can creep feed or provide either practical or generous nutrition to the cowherd, but it does not impact EPDs. I’ve heard some bull buyers say, “I won’t buy a bull unless he has a big weaning weight.” So, if you have made a resolution to require some magic weaning weight of the young sires you purchase, go ahead and enjoy spending dollars on a measurement that potentially has no impact on your genetic progress or enterprise profits. About all you’re doing is buying bragging rights that your herd bull had a big weaning weight. That big weaning weight achieved by your herd bull may be no reflection of his genetic makeup. Since we are nearing the end of summer, the following
comments relate to genetic improvement and dealing with hot, dry weather. Thermal heat stress of cattle caused by hot-humid weather or endophyte toxicity (such as fescue) or both, have very large impacts on calf and cow body weights. Reduced forage availability (Reduced? Some parts of the southern U.S. have had no forage growth!) has two typical outcomes. Weaning weights are depressed and/or early weaning becomes an effective management decision. From a seedstock production standpoint, neither of these impact the genetic worth and breeding potential of the calf crop. There still remain cattle producers who diligently search for “high performers” even in the massive drought of 2011. We salute everyone who finds and selects seedstock that advances genetic merit, we regret the wasted effort, time and money spent on the ineffective tunnel vision focus on cattle weights. EPDs have long since replaced weights, adjusted weights, and even weight ratios as “best predictors” of genetic worth. The members of the American Simmental Association know the facts of measuring genetic values. Not until the weight data are entered into our genetic evaluations resulting in up-to-date EPDs, do we make decisions about true breeding values. Without doubt, there will be calves weaned this fall with greatly reduced weights, yet their Weaning Weight EPDs will be superior to calves in other parts of this nation with much heavier and more impressive data. The truth is, most cattle producers already know these details. They do not become distracted with birth, weaning or yearling weights. They know EPDs are their “protection insurance” from purchasing cattle with
Dr. Jerry Lipsey
misleading weights. For example, an animal with a 75-pound birth weight, born in the fall after a long, hot summer might have considerably less calving ease and birth weight, reducing genetic potential, than a 100-pound calf born after a long, cold winter including significant cow herd hay and grain supplementation. Only EPDs provide a clear, environment-free measurement of the genetic worth. For nearly three decades we have explained the advantages of using EPDs versus weights, adjusted weights and/or weight ratios to select seedstock. Perhaps those who refuse to embrace the science and technology of cattle genetics are stuck-in-time with old-fashioned ideas; however, science “marches on” and we have now entered into an era of selecting by economic indexes. Simply by summing the market worth of every EPD trait that either impacts production cost or output worth, we can estimate every animal’s effect on cowherd enterprises. ASA’s All Purpose Index (API) reflects the summation of every EPD on potential costs and production values. All the way from calving ease, cowherd feed intake and cow longevity, to Choice, Yield Grade 3 or better carcasses, API provides a dollar value on every animal. Average Simmental are $105 for API. Top-value Simmental exceed $140, so buy carefully.
