4 Economically Proven Predictable, Fer ile, Grass Raised Genetics HELMSMAN BID SYSTEM This method of buying bulls combines the good features of both the auction system and sale by private treaty. You get the opportunity to bid on and buy any bull in the offering and you pay competitive market value without any pressure. HOW IT WORKS 1. On arrival, the intending purchasers register at the bid table and receive a buyer number. 2. All bulls are displayed for inspection as usual, with relevant information provided in the catalogue. 3. When the sale commences, all bulls are on the market simultaneously. You may bid on any bull, regardless of lot number, by filling a card and handing it to a runner. 4. You may open the bidding from 10am according to the opening pen price as displayed on the bidding board. Further bids in multiples of a minimum set price will be accepted (see table below). There is no limit on the size of bid. 5. Bids are recorded with the buyer s number on a large board adjacent to the bull display area. You can bid on any number of bulls at once and can see at a glance whether your bid still stands or has been overbid. 6. There is no pressure to commit to another bid. If your first choice bull goes over your limit, you can still bid on any other bull on sale. A bid once submitted and recorded cannot be retracted, and the person responsible for submitting such a bid will be responsible for it until it is overbid. 7. At set times during the day (see table below), bulls that haven t been bid on for a set period of time, will be deemed officially sold. This makes it easier for buyers who have many bulls on the board, as they know at certain times of the day, that they have secured some, so no need to keep looking for those particular bulls on the board. It also allows buyers to leave the sale before 2pm if they have already secured their bull/s before then. 10am to 12noon Bids of $200 or higher All bids will be recorded in blue pen 12noon to 1pm Bids of $300 or higher Pen colour for all bids will be recorded in red At 1pm Any bull price remaining in the original pen colour of blue, will be deemed officially sold for the amount listed to the buyer listed. 1pm to 1:30pm Bids of $400 or higher Pen colour for all bids will be recorded in green At 1:30pm Any bull price remaining in the pen colour of red, will be deemed officially sold for the amount listed to the buyer listed. 1:30pm to 2pm Bids of $500 or higher Pen colour for all bids will remain being recorded in green 2pm Any bulls in green pen will be individually verbally listed and further bids will be taken at that time in an open auction (to enable sale closure in reasonable time). THE BENEFITS 1. You have more time to consider lodging a bid. You can place genuine bids on any bull of your choice at any time during the first 3 hours of the sale. 2. You have the opportunity to re-assess each lot during the sale period without any pressure to make an instant decision. 3. You have the opportunity to take home the bulls you want, irrespective of where they are positioned in the catalogue. For example, having been out-bid on the bull of your first choice, you can move back to your second choice bull positioned anywhere in the catalogue. 4. When you are buying multiples or groups of bulls, Helmsman gives you flexibility and time to average your purchase costs.

5 A Closer Look At ALC Sale Bull Data Sheets The principle of ALC genetics management is to report all data from our whole herd, to our clients and potential clients. Our aim is to have the most important data in nett commercial terms, readily available, in easy to read format. In most regions of the commercial beef-raising world the important profit index ranks as follows for every $10 margin: $7 earned by good reproduction $2 earned by live weight growth $1 earned by other traits (carcase, colour, temperament etc) At ALC we are in our third decade of intense selection in the traits of fertile, gentle and growthy cattle adapted to our Northern Australian costs and conditions. Four traits are plenty to select for. Fertility and adaptation may end up meaning the same thing. Good temperament is essential for low costs in labour and facilities, and minimising market losses. Growth usually equals consumption, so there is literally no free feed there, in normal Northern Australian conditions. The most elusive factor is adequate groceries for our herds. You can equate this in several ways, eg. stocking rates per square mile, stock days per hectare per 100mm of rain, or acres to the beast. All of these have an equivalent dollar cost, whether on your own country or on agistment. Quantity and distribution of rainfall has a big impact on our costs each year also. SO LET S FOCUS ON THE REAL STUFF. Fertility and adaptation we can use the simple fertility measures of pregnant or empty, and weaned a calf or lost a calf or pregnancy. This criteria of pregnant must fall in a set period, or we would be hiding behind excuses forever. Similarly, a weaner in the yard, or no weaner is pretty final judgement too. For every year of ownership, any less than a calf weaned plus a pregnancy is simply not an option. They are then proven adapted cows. We provide very transparent data on all Dams, Grand Dams, Great Grand Dams and Great Great Grand Dams of our ALC sale bulls.

Number of calves born. 4. Subsequent calving interval in days. 5. Days to Calving EBV (DTC) is an indicator of female fertility based on the time between a cow s first exposure to a bull and when she subsequently calved. Further data on sale bulls is published. 6. Kg live weight at 600 days of age. 7. Testicle scrotal circumference () at 600 days of age. 8. in months at puberty. 9. Kg live weight at puberty. 10. Estimated Breeding ues (EBV s) for growth at 200, 400 and 600 days of age along with scrotal size (SS), days to calving (DTC), Jap Ox $ index (J.Ox) and Live Ex. $ index (L.Ex). 11. Bulls are penned in groups of 8 to 15 head. Pens are labelled on the gates. For example, a grey A* sale bull marked Lot # 6 would be found in the pen labelled PEN GY-A* LOTS Sale bulls are categorised from category A to B. Category A being what we consider to be the lead of the bulls followed by B and priced accordingly. Category A bulls with a * beside their pen code are highlights of this category. Production and genetic information for all sires is also provided. Almost all of this data is related to speed of production driven by reproduction indicators. ALC bulls are priced accordingly.
