2016 will be the 24th sale that Suhn Cattle Co. has had since our first sale in 1993. This year will be the first year since that initial sale that Dale and Nancy Kirkham have not had bulls cataloged in the sale. Dale and Nancy have been dedicated Brangus breeders throughout those years and Dale served two terms as an IBBA director and one year as President of the association but more importantly they are great neighbors and friends who were always willing to lend a helping hand whenever needed. Our customers, who were looking for calving ease bulls with great dispositions, knew where to find them in the Kirkham Brangus bulls that were offered. Dale’s breeding philosophy mirrored what the Brangus breed stands for in that he selected for calving ease, high maternal with added emphasis on disposition. He did not follow fads or breed to the next popular bull but stuck with those same principles generation after generation. Nancy retired from her full time job at Home Bank last January. They still maintain a few cows and enjoy as much time as possible with their grandchildren. Both are still involved in community activities and you can see them quite often in the
summer and early fall in their UTV spraying their pastures and the road ditches of Bachelor Township for invasive weeds and especially sericia lespedeza. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Dale and Nancy for their years of service, friendship and dedication to this great breed of cattle and their unwavering commitment to leaving the pasture they graze in better shape for future generations than how they found them.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION LONGRANGE® (eprinomectin) should be given only by subcutaneous injection in front of the shoulder at the recommended dosage level of 1 mg eprinomectin per kg body weight (1 mL per 110 lb body weight). WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Withdrawal Periods and Residue Warnings Animals intended for human consumption must not be slaughtered within 48 days of the last treatment. This drug product is not approved for use in female dairy cattle 20 months of age or older, including dry dairy cows. Use in these cattle may cause drug residues in milk and/or in calves born to these cows. A withdrawal period has not been established for pre-ruminating calves. Do not use in calves to be processed for veal. Animal Safety Warnings and Precautions The product is likely to cause tissue damage at the site of injection, including possible granulomas and necrosis. These reactions have disappeared without treatment. Local tissue reaction may result in trim loss of edible tissue at slaughter. Observe cattle for injection site reactions. If injection site reactions are suspected, consult your veterinarian. This product is not for intravenous or intramuscular use. Protect product from light. LONGRANGE® (eprinomectin) has been developed specifically for use in cattle only. This product should not be used in other animal species. When to Treat Cattle with Grubs LONGRANGE effectively controls all stages of cattle grubs. However, proper timing of treatment is important. For the most effective results, cattle should be treated as soon as possible after the end of the heel fly (warble fly) season. Environmental Hazards Not for use in cattle managed in feedlots or under intensive rotational grazing because the environmental impact has not been evaluated for these scenarios. Other Warnings: Underdosing and/or subtherapeutic concentrations of extendedrelease anthelmintic products may encourage the development of parasite resistance. It is recommended that parasite resistance be monitored following the use of any anthelmintic with the use of a fecal egg count reduction test program. TARGET ANIMAL SAFETY Clinical studies have demonstrated the wide margin of safety of LONGRANGE® (eprinomectin). Overdosing at 3 to 5 times the recommended dose resulted in a statistically significant reduction in average weight gain when compared to the group tested at label dose. Treatment-related lesions observed in most cattle administered the product included swelling, hyperemia, or necrosis in the subcutaneous tissue of the skin. The administration of LONGRANGE at 3 times the recommended therapeutic dose had no adverse reproductive effects on beef cows at all stages of breeding or pregnancy or on their calves. Not for use in bulls, as reproductive safety testing has not been conducted in males intended for breeding or actively breeding. Not for use in calves less than 3 months of age because safety testing has not been conducted in calves less than 3 months of age.
