Christensen Simmental's 45th annual sale!
This is a Video Auction
Cattle will be viewed on video screens in the sale ring and not be run through the ring, the auction format will
remain the same. Cattle will be penned outside the barn for viewing prior to and during the auction. We feel you
will get a better view of the cattle on the video than you do in a small ring. The videos will be available to be seen
prior to the sale on DV Auction under production sales.

Breeding Guarantee
All bulls have been semen tested and are guaranteed
breeders. If a bull proves to be a non-breeding animal,
Christensen’s will replace the bull with one of like
type if possible. Otherwise the buyer will receive sale
credit minus salvage value to be used at the 2017 sale.
Please notify us by September 1, 2016. For your own
protection, you may choose to purchase mortality
insurance on your purchase.

Some of these bulls may develop into a herdsire from
which we may want to collect semen in the future.
Therefore, we would like to retain a 25% semen interest in
each bull in the sale. This could mean collecting semen in
your “off season,” at our expense. This will not interfere
with ownership of the bulls or salvage value. On the
“right” bull, it could be valuable to both the buyer and the
seller. Bulls are semen tested.
Announcements
Announcements made sale day take precedence over
printed material in the sale catalog. Anyone attending
this sale attends at his/her own risk. Neither Christensen
Simmental nor any of the sale force will be held responsible
for any personal injury while attending this sale.

Quick Reference to ASA EPDs and $ Indexes
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 what units
they are expressed in. For example, if the above case referred to
weaning weight EPDs, 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 percentileranking chart is required to determine where a bull’s EPDs rank
him relative to other bulls in the breed. For percentile rankings
or more detailed information about EPDs and $ indexes visit
www.simmental.org. Listed below are the units ASA EPDs are
expressed in:
All-Purpose Index (API): Dollars per cow exposed under an allpurpose-sire scenario. (See below for more details.)
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.
EPDs
$ Indexes: Though EPDs 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 EPDs 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 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. A higher API value also reflects the
longevity of females retained in the herd.
Terminal Index (TI): Evaluates sire for use on mature Angus
cows with all offspring put on feed and sold grade and yield. This
EPD value is comparable to the $ Beef value calculated in the
Angus breed, however it’s not accurate to compare various breed
values to others.
Using API and TI: First, determine which index to use; if you’re
keeping replacements use API, if not, 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. Or, put another way, how much you can pay for one bull
compared to another. For example, when buying an all-purposetype 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 percentile rankings or more detailed information about
EPDs and $ indexes visit www.simmental.org.
Warner-Bratzler Shear Force (WBSF): Pounds of force required
to shear a steak.
Stayability (STAY): Percent of daughters remaining in the
cowherd at 6 years of age.
Terminal Index (TI): Dollars per cow exposed under a terminalsire scenario. (See below for more details.)
Weaning Weight (WW): Pounds of weaning weight.
Yearling Weight (YW): Pounds of yearling weight.
Yield Grade (YG): Yield grade score.
