We are in the most exciting time our industry and country has witnessed in history. Cattle prices for all classes of cattle are at record levels providing profitable opportunities to everyone involved…and the consumer loves our tasty beef!

This year’s offering is a culmination of over five decades commitment in providing the finest seedstock genetics with always a goal to add profitability to our customer’s operations, whether small or large. The quality and data represented in catalog is a testimony to the positive direction of our breeding program.

HETEROSIS IS YOUR ONLY FREE LUNCH in the cattle business! Industry publications have featured numerous articles on the added profitability gained with heterosis, and from what is lost without it. Universities and the USDA’s Meat animal Research Center have published similar data in full support of heterosis advantages.

We are committed to serve our customers with the best genetics in the Simmental and Angus breeds to achieve maximum benefits in their respective operations. Importantly, we can ensure calving ease predictability with increased performance, improved maternal traits, and added carcass values all at the same time. As you study the catalog, please note the many top percentage EPD rankings of the100K high density testing we provide…it’s your road map to success.

If you have not used a good SimAngus™ bull, or realized the benefits of the productive SimAngus™ females, then we encourage you to join us sale day. Better yet, come in advance and walk the pens of our good-natured bulls and females selling.

We are most thankful for Jody Hazen, our very capable foreman and Jacob Yoder who does feeding. We are also appreciative of our son Joel, plus TR Andersen, Keith Zimmerman, Braden Hazen, and Jacob’s brothers for their day help with larger projects.

May God Bless You, Your Families & Operations as well as our Great Country!

DEVELOPED THE RIGHT WAY!

The Good Feet on our Older Bulls are Proof of our Experience in Developing Bulls Properly!

Annually selling throughout the US, from Fescue country to the Mountain locations, They’ve Proven to Hold Up Well and Last Longer!

We develop bulls so they will stay sound, have good feet and are conditioned to go anywhere!

Our time-tested bull development program ensures long term soundness and increases longevity, both which are very important to bull buyers.

No corn is fed to older bulls, only ground hay, ground cornstalks, limited silage, supplement and distillers to increase palatability. We have fed this same ration for years with excellent success!

This conditioning program has insured that our bulls have adjusted to their new locations. With our customer base stretching throughout the US, we have received numerous reports on how well our bulls have adapted to their new environment.

From West Virginia to Florida to Texas, North Dakota and California, and many other states in between, we have repeat customers. They appreciate how we manage our bull development, keeping our customer’s satisfaction a priority.

HETEROSIS DON’T

BE IN BUSINESS

WITHOUT IT!

Weaning Performance advantages are well established and proven at MARC and many land grant institution’s data. Most importantly it is PROVEN and REALIZED in thousands of herds across the country!

Feedlot Performance is heterosis is driven! Feeders demand cattle that perform and they are paying premiums to own them. They know crossbred cattle get the job done best, whether in the yard or on the rail.

Marketability advantages are real with the crossbred genetics added to the equation. Whether in the sale barns or on video auctions like Superior, higher prices are being paid for cattle that have extra genetic punch.

Profitability is vital for survival! Heterosis is the key element that generates more net dollars in the budget. Measure heterosis lots of ways…labor savings, calf survival, performance, cowherd longevity or fertility. Bottom line, it comes from buying the right bull!

Better Cowherds are built using heterosis. Hybrid vigor increases fertility and longevity, two of the most important traits every program requires as substantiated by MARC research.

Simmental and Angus Genetics are responsible for the best heterosis package in the industry! Each breed brings lots to the table, but when combined there is nothing close to how they are impacting the industry.

DELIVERY

Leave the trucking up to us!

APEX Cattle bulls, females and semen are sold throughout the US. Delivery of cattle purchases can be reasonable, and efficient …and we do the best to accommodate both.

Bulls are delivered FREE to central points in Nebraska and the adjoining states within 500 miles. Outside this area, we customarily get cattle delivered at reasonable prices of $150-$250 with a guaranteed maximum of $500 to central drop points, determined by load routes, using our many industry commercial trucking contacts. Annually we send cattle to virtually all regions throughout the US at affordable prices. Guarantee maximum is only applicable if trucking is arranged by APEX Cattle. All bulls that are hauled sale day receive a $50 per lot discount.

We recommend that bred heifers are transported as soon as possible, and we will make it a priority to assist buyers in arranging trucking as needed.

Quick Reference to ASA EPD and $ Indexes

Expected Progeny Differences (EPD): EPD are the most accurate and effective tool available for comparing genetic levels. In using EPD, the difference between two sires’ EPD represents the unit difference expected in the performance of their progeny. For example, if sires A and B have EPD of +10 and –5, a 15-unit difference would be expected in their progeny (moving from -5 to +10 yields 15 units). Key to using EPD is knowing what units they are expressed in. For example, if the above case referred to weaning weight EPD, A would be expected to sire 15-pounds more weaning weight than B. If calving ease were the trait, A would be expected to sire 15-percent more unassisted births in first-calf heifers; in other words, if B sired 30 assists in a group of 100 heifers, we’d expect A to require 15 assists. A percentile-ranking chart is required to determine where a bull’s EPD rank him relative to other bulls in the breed.

Back Fat (BF): Inches of backfat.

Birth Weight (BW): Pounds of birth weight.

Calving Ease (CE): Percent of unassisted births when used on heifers.

Carcass Weight (CW): Pounds of carcass weight.

Maternal Calving Ease (MCE): Percent of unassisted births in first-calving daughters.

Milk (MLK): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk.

Marbling (MRB): Marbling score.

Maternal Weaning Weight (MWW): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk and growth.

Ribeye Area (REA): Square inches of ribeye.

Stayability (STAY): Percent of daughters remaining in the cowherd at 6 years of age.

Weaning Weight (WW): Pounds of weaning weight.

Yearling Weight (YW): Pounds of yearling weight.

Yield Grade (YG): Yield grade score.

$ Indexes: Though EPD 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 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 following $ indexes:

All-Purpose Index (API): Evaluates sires for use on the entire cow herd (bred to both Angus firstcalf 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.

Using API and TI: First, determine which index to use; if you’re keeping replacements use API, if not, TI. Then, just as with EPD, zero in on the unit difference between bulls. (As described above, index units are in dollars per cow exposed.) The difference can be used to determine how much a bull is worth compared to another. Or, put another way, how much you can pay for one bull compared to another. For example,when buying an all-purpose-type sire, you can quickly figure a bull scoring +100 for API is worth an extra $6,000 over a +50 bull if both are exposed to 30 cows over 4 years ($50 diff. x 30 hd. x 4 yr. = $6,000). A percentile-ranking chart is required to determine where a bull’s index value ranks him relative to other bulls in the breed.

King Of The Road

King of the Road is one of the most consistent sires that we have used!

Proclamation is known virtually worldwide as one of the most impacting breeding bulls in the Simmental breed. As JW Brune, a long time Simmental breeder, told me last year, “Proclamations is one of those unique, high impact sires that will be used 10 and 20 years from now.” One thing we know is that his sons are in high demand, and his daughters are the kind everyone talks about, but few have. Fortunately, we have built our program around him in the recent years, and the bulk of our younger females are his bountiful, top producing daughters. His genetics dominate this catalog as numerous lots are from his highly maternal, broody, and good milking daughters.

APEX PROCLAMATION FJ39M

Two-Year Old Bull Ranking: #5 WW and #6 MWW EPDs! One of the few opportunities to own a son of the legendary sire, Proclamation (now deceased with essentially no semen available).

BENEFITS OF SIMANGUS FEMALES

C apitalizing on HETEROSIS by crossbreeding is a very valuable tool in beef cattle production. Probably the most significant, long-term study of HETEROSIS was conducted by the conducted by the USDA Meat Animal Research Center (MARC), right here in Nebraska.

The study concluded that 80 crossbred cows producing crossbred calves are as economical in life cycle production as 100 straight bred cows raising straight bred calves. This 20% added bonus in efficiency starts with increased fertility of the crossbred cows, which is followed by increased vigor and hardiness of the newborn calves.

Crossbred cows producing crossbred calves wean a higher percentage of calf crop…and the calves are heavier! This translates to an increased feedlot performance. And today, more than ever before, crossbred calves are in high demand by order buyers and feedlots searching out more profitability and healthier cattle.

Market demands and environmental challenges bring out the best in SimAngus cattle. They’re worth more, tough, and fertile!

The Simmental and Angus breeds make up the BEST GENETIC package in the business.

Clark and Seth Andrews, NE

We have been buyer 2-3 bulls a year for at least five years, and we like them, and the calves they are siring. The quality offered is good, and we especially like the performance and carcass traits you have bred into your bulls. We feed out all of our cattle, so performance and closeouts are important. Might add, we have been retaining replacement heifers sired by your bulls, and we can see our cowherd is getting better. We are more than happy. Thanks for adjusting out with the bull that got snake bit, most appreciated.
