Dear Friends and Customers, This catalog contains complete performance information on bulls for our 2016 sale offering. These bulls represent our 34-year commitment to supplying profitable genetics to our customers. We have consistently striven to breed functional Brangus bulls to fill the needs of the profitminded commercial and registered Professional Cattleman and feel truly blessed to be holding our 23rd annual sale. Our program is structured around the disciplined breeding strategy of using only proven sires to increase genetic consistency. Our genetic program is different in that we are “Bull-Centric” and build that consistency by stacking generations of high-accuracy sire lines proven to be low birth weight, high growth CURVE BENDERS. We have never wavered from pursuing our goals because of what is “trendy” or “fashionable” at the time. We have a steadfast adherence to the Professional Cattleman’s demand for profit-driven cattle. We totally embrace a philosophy grounded in the twin thoughts of objective selection of cattle for economically relevant traits that enhance profitability; and a total orientation to the needs of the commercial beef industry. On a more frequent basis, we are generating bulls that also grab the attention of other Registered Brangus Breeders. Thanks again for your interest and attention; we are confident you will like our program and our bulls. Please come to our sale where you will find a super group of honest, solid bulls with the proven reliable genetics to put pounds on the ground and dollars in your pocket. Please contact us if you desire additional information, need us to buy your bulls for you or if there is anything at all that we can do to be helpful. Sincerely,
The Spitzer Family and Hunt Families Please visit our program at www.srbulls.com for updates and individual bull videos!

2016 Professional Cattlemen’s Bull Sale – Profitable Genetics from Performance Cattlemen RESERVE SALE POLICY
RETAINED-INTEREST BULLS
Pretty well everyone has a floor price under their bulls at auction. You know the game; a lot of bulls get bid off to the same number or the same name and no bull sells below a certain price. We believe that’s pretty devious. We don’t like playing games and we want to tell you our minimum price up front in an honest and straightforward manner. We have a reserve “Base Price” on each bull selling in this sale.
We reserve the right to retain a 50% revenue sharing semen interest on any bull sold. Bulls are in your possession and under your control for natural service and you get 100% of the salvage value. We will continue to own half interest in bulls for the purpose of collecting and marketing semen, as well as using semen in our herds. While it is unlikely large amounts of semen will be collected or sold for many bulls, we need that as an option on bulls sold. As a buyer and at your option, you can also have a 50% revenue sharing semen interest and participate in revenue from semen sales. We have developed a Bull Partnership Agreement spelling out further details. Buying a retained-interest bull obligates you to that agreement only for semen collection and sales. To avoid any misunderstandings, if you have any questions at all, please ask. If you chose not to be involved with semen sales, we still reserve the right to collect and market semen on any retained interest bull.
Each bull will be started at the listed “Base Price.” If you are willing to bid the base price do so before we are past that bull in the sale order. Once we move on to the next bull in the sale order, any passed-over bull is still available for sale, but the price will then be $200 over the base price as listed in this catalog. In fact, any bull not sold on sale day will be available at that price through March 4, 2016, from our private treaty pens. But, no bull sold after sale day will ever be lower than the reserve base price plus $200.
Bulls are cataloged by sale order and sell in sale order based on the highest Curve Bender Index (CBI).
WE HAVE BEEN SERVING OUR CUSTOMERS SINCE 1982 When you purchase an animal from our program you become part of us and have an option to become part of our future sales. We are committed to you as a customer and deliver service with each sale. You will automatically be updated with current EPDs on your bull purchases and the females sired by those bulls become candidates to return as part of our
Customer Commercial Brangus Female Sales. We pledge to conduct our business in a manner that demands providing only the best in genetics and services that make you a repeat customer. We definitely provide VALUE ADDED GENETICS and strive to provide VALUE ADDED SERVICE.
CALVING-EASE BULLS Over the years we have become more and more conservative on which bulls get flagged as “Calving-Ease Bulls.” We have adopted the philosophy that it is better for us to have stricter guidelines than for you to be sorry at calving time. Obviously there are no guarantees for preventing difficult births in heifers. Even the most proven “Calving-Ease Bulls” of any breed will sire a large calf every so often. However, this information is meant to serve as a guide for managing risk of calving difficulty in your first-calf females. Our goal is to help you eliminate heifer calving problems to the best of our ability.
BUT, let’s get real on calving ease! Our “calving-ease bulls” are meant to be used to breed virgin heifers such that they will have little or no calving problems with their first calf. The other bulls in our catalog are very appropriate for use on cows that have already had at least one calf. There are almost no bulls in the entire Brangus breed that cannot be used on mature cows and have no calving difficulties. In fact, because the correlation with size at birth and growth is extremely high, you would be losing growth (and weaning weight) if you use our designated “calving-ease bulls” on mature cows. In general, always use our bulls flagged as “Calving-Ease Bulls” on virgin heifers for their first calf and use the other bulls on any mature cows in your herd. You do not need to pay extra for an easycalving, low birth weight bull when it is not necessary to do so. On the other hand, a “calving-ease bull” to breed virgin heifers can be a God send.
REMEMBER: Compare Brangus to Brangus – No across-breed EPD comparisons can be made! Bulls indicated by the calving-ease flag symbol in their data block are considered to be low-risk bulls for calving difficulty. CED

2016 Professional Cattlemen’s Bull Sale – Profitable Genetics from Performance Cattlemen Bulls designated with the “Calving-ease Flag” are felt to be LowRisk Bulls for calving difficulty and are suitable for use on first-calf females. 1. Calving Ease Direct EPD – is expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births with a higher value indictating greater calving ease in first-calf heifers. It predicts the average difference in ease which a sire’s calves will be born when he is bred to first-calf heifers. 2. Birth weight EPD – predicts calf size and calving ease. 3. Weaning weight EPD – predicts preweaning growth potential. 4. Yearling weight EPD – predicts overall growth potential and post-weaning gain. 5. Milk EPD – predicts the maternal contribution a bull passes to his daughters for milk production and mothering ability. 6. Total maternal EPD – predicts the overall weaning weight of calves from daughters of a bull due to growth potential as well as milk production and mothering ability. 7. Calving Ease Maternal – is expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in firstcalf daughters. It predicts the average ease with which a sire’s daughters will calve as first-calf heifers when compared to daughters of other sires. 8. Scrotal circumference EPD – predicts testicle size. 9. Ribeye area EPD – predicts muscling. 10. Percent intramuscular fat EPD – predicts marbling and quality grade. 11. Fat EPD – predicts external fat thickness and yield grade. 12. To make it easier to evaluate EPDs, the percentile ranking is shown below each individual EPD. This is a great way to understand where the individual ranks in the breed for that particular EPD. For example, where it shows “10%,” this means that particular EPD value is in the highest, or TOP 10%, of all non-parent bulls in the entire breed. (A 10% for BW, however, means lowest, or lightest.) 13. Actual birth weight within 24 hours of birth. 14. Weaning weight adjusted to 205 days of age and for age of dam. 15. Ranking of individual 205-day adjusted weaning weight in relation to average adjusted weaning weight of weaning contemporary group of this calf. The contemporary group has an average ratio of 100. 16. Average daily gain (pounds per day) during Spitzer Ranch’s 168-day performance growth test. 17. Lifetime weight per day of age (actual weight divided by days of age) at the end of Spitzer Ranch’s 168-day performance growth test. 18. Ranking of individual WDA in relation to average WDA of the entire test group, which has an average ratio of 100. 19. Yearling weight adjusted to 365 days of age and for age of dam. 20. Ranking of individual adjusted 365-day yearling weight in relation to the average adjusted yearling weight of yearling contemporary group. The contemporary group has an average ratio of 100. 21. Yearling frame score adjusted to 365-days of age. 22. Yearling scrotal circumference (testicle size measured in centimeters) adjusted to 365-days of age. 23. Curve Bender Index (CBI). Our exclusive INDEX which combines values for low birth weight EPD and high yearling weight EPD into one value. This Index has a highest achievable numeric value of 148 and goes down from there. Bulls with a higher numeric value for CBI would be expected to sire calves with lighter birth weights and yet heavier weaning and yearling weights. Please see www.srbulls.com for a more complete discussion of the CBI or call for a printed version. 24. CBI Quartile Rank. The CBI as described above and is ranked as First, Second, Third or Fourth Quartile. There is probably very little difference among bulls within the same Quartile Rank for CBI. There are greater dif-

We work very hard to provide the most accurate performance testing program possible and you can feel confident in each piece of data reported. Accurate contemporary grouping is essential in this effort as it is the differences in animal performance within a contemporary group that is reflected in EPDs. Animals from us and our cooperator herds were obviously not raised together and cannot possibly be in the same contemporary group. Therefore, when you look at the individual performance data, a ratio of 100 (average) will not correlate to the same weight among the groups. Be sure you know which animals are in the same contemporary group to know how to compare. Better yet, ignore absolute weights and look at weight ratios and look very, very much harder at EPDs.
