2 Welcome to the Sale Welcome to the 7th annual Great Lake Beef Connection Bull Sale. We hope that 2017 finds you and your family well was a challenging year health wise for all three of our families but now it looks like everyone is on the mend. We lost my dad this year and boy, we sure miss him. Our son, Justin, got married in November so we gained a daughter, Emma. We wish them the best in their new life together. Our oldest daughter, Caley, just blessed us with our first Grandchild, Rylee Marie. Oh boy, she is very special! We are very dedicated to the cattle industry as we continue to work with Marty Ropp on procuring some of the most sought after young herd sires available. Our goals are still the same. It s all about producing bulls that will make our customers money and work in their environment. We have what you need, whether it s a terminal sire or you re looking to keep your own replacement heifers leaving good daughters in the herd that are problem free and thrive on forage. This past year we have seen cattle prices take a hit. That is all the more reason to buy your bulls from a source that has done all the ground work, research and testing. We feel it s all about Balanced EPD selection and we do not chase fads. We continue to put heavy selection on feet and udder quality. We would like to thank all our customers for their support in the past sales and as always we stand behind what we sell 100%. Please feel free to call or text with any questions you may have. Our open house is Saturday March 4 from 11am to 3pm. Please stop by and see the bulls. Hope to see you at the sale March 11. Blessings, Andy, Jim and John The Benefits of Buying From Great Lakes Beef Connection: Free Feeding until May 1 Free Delivery Options BVD-PI Negative Fertility Tested Sight Unseen Guarantee Sale broadcast live online THE SOURCE FOR ONLINE SEEDSTOCK SALES ALLIEDonlinesales.com Powered by See page 28 for more information. Videos available online at and The John Miller Family It is an absolute pleasure to work with the families that make up the Great Lakes team. They are truly kind, genuine folks with a commitment to their customers and to the beef business in Michigan and across this nation. Rylee, our new granddaughter Previous Sale Averages: 2015 $4, $4,677 Sale Day Phones You ll find part of that commitment in the profit value of the genetics offered in this year s sale. Across the board, verified, industry improving genetic data is at the core. When you combine great calving ease, growth, maternal longevity and top end carcass traits in every bull offered the results are as promised, some of the highest $API and $TI available anywhere. Those index predictors of profit are simple insurance to customers that these cattle will work and make money regardless of the situation. As an added benefit you will absolutely love the structure, balance, disposition and eye appeal of the offering too. Great phenotype need not be sacrificed to get great value and the proof is obvious in these programs.the other piece of the value proposition here comes from the customer respect and service these breeders live by. You ll not find a more accommodating and friendly group of breeders anywhere. You can be assured that if something doesn t go as planned, they will do what is right and fair to make it right. In addition to an ever growing group of Michigan customers, last year bulls from the Great Lakes sale went across the country into eight other states so don t be shy about asking for arrangements to get bulls where they need to go. With reasonable prices and top of the line proven genetic value, you ll be glad you made Great Lakes your seedstock source for the future. Sincerely, Marty Ropp Allied Genetic Resources

A Note from Our Nutritionist... I have created the nutrition program for the bulls in the Great Lakes Beef Connection sale for the past 6 years and continue to be impressed by the quality and consistency of the cattle. Our development program is designed with functionality in mind. The ration system is designed to target a 3.15 lb/day of lean gain up to sale day. Following the sale, the ration program is designed to harden young bulls for breeding to ensure they will not lose substantial body condition on pasture. This system is designed to produce a set of bulls that will work in the pasture and have the longevity cattlemen demand. I welcome any questions regarding the nutritional program provided to the bulls in this sale. DAN LARSON, PHD GREAT PLAINS LIVESTOCK CONSULTING

5 ASA Quick Reference to EPDs, Indexes and $Values EXPECTED PROGENY DIFFERENCES (EPDS): EPDs are the most accurate and effective tool available for comparing genetic levels. In using EPDs, the difference between two sires EPDs represents the unit difference expected in the performance of their progeny. For example, if sires A and B have EPDs 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 EPDs is knowing in what units they are expressed. For example, if the above case referred to weaning weight EPDs, sire A would be expected to sire 15 pounds more weaning weight than sire B. If calving ease was the trait, sire A would be expected to sire 15 percent more unassisted births in first-calf heifers; in other words, if sire B sired 30 assists in a group of 100 heifers, we would expect sire A to require 15 assists. A percentile-ranking chart is required to determine where a bull s EPDs rank him relative to other bulls in the breed. For more detailed information about EPDs and $ indexes, visit Listed below are the units in which ASA EPDs are expressed: ALL-PURPOSE INDEX (API): Dollars per cow exposed under an all-purpose-sire scenario. (See $ Indexes for more details.) BACK FAT (BF): Inches of carcass backfat at 475 days. 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 at 475 days. STAYABILITY (STAY): Percent of daughters remaining in the cowherd at 6 years of age. DOCILITY (DOC): Percent of offspring receiving a disposition score of 1 (docile). MATERNAL CALVING EASE (MCE): Percent of unassisted births in first-calving daughters. MILK (MLK): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk. MARBLING (MARB): Carcass marbling score at 475 days. MATERNAL WEANING WEIGHT (MWW): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk and growth. RIBEYE AREA (REA): Square inches of carcass ribeye at 475 days. TERMINAL INDEX (TI): Dollars per cow exposed under a terminal-sire scenario. (See TI for more details.) WEANING WEIGHT (WW): Pounds of weaning weight. YEARLING WEIGHT (YW): Pounds of yearling weight. YIELD GRADE (YG): Carcass yield grade score at 475 days. $ INDEXES: Though EPDs allow for the comparison of genetic levels for many economically important traits, they only provide pieces of the economic puzzle. This is where $ indexes come in. Through well-conceived, rigorous mathematical computation, $ indexes blend EPDs and economics to estimate an animal s overall impact on integrated commercial production. 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 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 sires 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 are keeping replacements use API, if not, use TI. Then, just as with EPDs, 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. 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. For more detailed information about EPDs and $indexes, visit: Important disclaimer: DO NOT compare index values of purebreds of different breeds, hybrids of different breed composition or purebreds with hybrids our system was not developed to make valid comparison among these groups. Therefore, you must first determine the breed and breed composition appropriate for your herd and use index values to compare animals within that population.

IMF 2.26 IMF RATIO 83 Bull Buying Simplified By Marty Ropp If you are among the many out there who feel as if it is becoming more difficult to identify the genetics you need to move forward and make more profit, hopefully the following words will be of help. There is little doubt that the amount of information that is presented to bull buyers these days can get a tick much to evaluate thoroughly, especially when you only use that information a couple of days each year. The good news is that if you are becoming overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of data presented at bull buying time, then your genetic supplier is collecting and using the most up to date tools to improve the genetics you are hoping to benefit from. That is absolutely their job! Part of their responsibility then is also to present that information in an easy to use fashion and help provide service, answers to your questions and even education regarding the data they present. Here are a few simple tips to make your decisions at bull buying time a little easier. 1. Where you buy and who you buy from is as important as which bulls you purchase. Reputation, warrantee, genetic program, service options and proper bull development are all crucial to consider before you choose where to purchase. If a breeder is doing a great job improving their genetic product year after year, your herd will absolutely move in the same direction as theirs almost regardless of which bulls you choose to use. Unfortunately the opposite is also the case. Therefore, the last bull in the sale still has to offer genetic improvement or they shouldn t be selling it to their customers. So buy from folks who offer value from top to bottom, coupled with great service and you won t make mistakes. 2. Prioritize EPDs over raw data. EPDs are simply the best estimate available of a young bull s value. I know it is hard to break old habits, but the predictive value of a Weaning Weight EPD is so much better than the calf s actual weaning weight it is not even funny. These EPDs consider the genetics of every ancestor, the actual weight comparisons of the calf crop and even the DNA information in some cases. That is a lot of good stuff in one number, so just cross off the raw weights if you can. 3. Use the indexes to simplify your decision making. Most breeds now offer $Value indexes to help you choose genetics. Choose the right index (All Purpose, Terminal, etc.) and these values can be a great guide to getting in the right pen of bulls for your program. If you are unsure of the best index values to look at, ask your genetic supplier or professional for help. Once you choose which index to rank your choices, go out into that group of bulls and pick the ones you prefer for soundness, muscling, disposition, testicle size and all of the other traits you need in your operation. Don t misunderstand, I would never say the highest $ value index bull is absolutely the best bull, but choosing from the bulls that offer leading or above average profit potential just makes good sense. Avoid bulls with poor index values, no matter how good they might look to avoid the big genetic wrecks down the line. 4. Ask for assistance. Most of us would never buy a combine, seed, feed or fertilizer without being fully educated or employing expertise in the process. Genetic decisions too have long term profit implications. Your genetic supplier is absolutely supposed to be your partner in this process. Get their input when you can or work with someone who makes genetic decisions every day to leverage their experience and expertise in the process. Genetics are becoming higher priced, so make an extra effort to take home great value for your investment.
