Jared shermanCattle Manager

Jared is in charge of sales, marketing, bull test and

the spring cowherd. Jared has been learning the genetics as well as the business side of Soderglen and has most of the marketing responsibilities on the bull and female side of Soderglen. Jared brings to Soderglen new ideas and enthusiasm for Soderglen’s future combined with a solid foundation in business and a background in ranching.

new sale facilityLast year our sale took another step in efficiency and convenience. We decided to leave the bulls in the large spacious bull test pens and build a sale barn at the Bull Test facility. This accomplishes two things, firstly our customers want and need to look at the cattle in the environment they can see feet, legs and disposition and be able to compare them to one another. Secondly it allows us to not have to move and house these big bulls and all the stress that goes with the set up in the main yard. We trust this proves to be a positive addition for our customers.

absence of horn growth. (An animal can have scurs and still be genetically polled.)

Calving Ease

Calving ease is probably the biggest concern to most bull buyers. Calving ease is most often related to birth weight of a bull. This is partly true but there are many other factors that influence calving ease. Nutrition and gestation play a role. Our rating of each bull is based on all the information we have available.

• *** Should produce minimal calving problems when bred to moderate sized first calf heifers.

• ** Recommended for use on second calvers or small framed cows – 1100 to 1300 lbs.

• * Recommended for mature cows - 1400+ lbs.

Disposition Scoring System

1. Wider flight zone-moves off pressure easily, easily excited.

2. Average disposition-handles easily if worked quietly.

3. Can work very easily, doesn’t get excited.

4. Won’t get out of your way, narrow or no flight zone.

Ultrasound Evaluation of Carcass Traits

Ultrasound data was taken at 14 months of age.

Ribeye Area (IN2) - gives an indication of overall carcass muscling.

Fat Depth (MM) - gives an indication of overall carcass fat content.

LeanMeat Yield % (LMY) - gives the percentage of lean meat in a carcass.

Marbling Score - gives an indication of the juiciness and eating quality of beef - AAA, AA, A.

WW

All weights are taken at weaning and adjusted to 205 days to allow you to compare the bulls on an even playing field.

YW

All weights are taken at the end of test and adjusted to 365 days, again to let you easily compare the bulls.

W.P.D.A.

... all weights at the end of test are used to calculate the bull’s weight per day of age. It covers the entire gaining period to date (on the cow and on the feed).

A.D.G.

…after a 30 day warm-up period the bulls are put on test to measure their A.D.G. for the next 90 days.

Actual Weight

Actual weights were taken in December, 2012.

Long Yearling S.C.

Actual scrotal measurements were taken in October, 2012 by Veterinary Agri-Health. The bulls were extended, palpated and semen tested. All bulls meet industry standards based on breed and age.

Horned-Scurred-Polled

Warranty Responsibility

• Notify Soderglen immediately by phone or fax.

• Employ a licensed veterinarian to treat, diagnose and fill out claim form.

• If the animal dies, a post-mortem may be required.

• When necessary, deliver the bull back to Soderglen.

Coverage - All Perils Breeding Season:

Basic 60 Day WarrantyThe basic 60 days covers bulls for 60 days after the sale. We require it on all bulls purchased

through the internet auction.

Extended-Breeding Season WarrantyThe Extended Breeding Season Warranty covers the bull through his first breeding season. It starts on sale day

and will last for eight months.

The cost of this extended warranty is 7.5% of the bulls purchase price. The coverage is completely optional and you can take it or leave it.

Exclusions to Policy

Injury or death due to malicious, willful or intentional acts or mistreatment by you or your employees are fraudulent claims.

Soderglen’s Warranty Program offers a cut rate warranty in a language you can understand.

Soderglen will warranty your bull and carry all risk. In our opinion, using only Mortality Insurance is money out the window with little or no value because 96% of bull problems are injury, not death.

We have the ability to make cash settlement or service your needs with another bull, whichever you choose. Should you have any problem with a bull, contact Soderglen at (403) 948-6734 and we will handle the problem immediately. Your veterinarian and yourself will fill out a claim form provided by Soderglen and that is all that is needed to take care of your claim.

It’s unfortunate but sometimes bulls will become injured prior to or during their first breeding season and often these injuries are life threatening. In an effort to better serve our customers we are offering an optional warranty on all bulls sold through this sale. This warranty will cover loss of use from injuries as well as death.

sight unseen Purchase PlanStay-At-Home Options

We would prefer to have everyone attend for sale day, but realistically we know there are

scheduling conflicts and distance limitations. For those cases, we have a couple of options for you to be able to participate in our bull sale on an absentee basis.

If you can’t make the sale, give us a call... we know our cattle well and are confident that we can select bulls that meet your specifications. Some of our customers think we do a better job of buying their bulls than they do. Our Sight Unseen Program takes most of the risks out of purchasing bulls. Helping you with your purchases, however, places a lot of responsibility on us, so please call early.

In an effort to cover liability issues and protect the buyer’s interests, we require the minimum basic warranty of 60 days (2.5%) of the purchase price for all bulls purchased at our Stay-At-Home options.

Bidders who are successful in making a purchase will be contacted the week after the sale and an invoice will be mailed out. When the bull is

delivered to your central delivery point if you are not satisfied with your purchase, your money will be refunded and the bull will be brought home. In all of our years of business and thousands of bulls sold, we have only had to bring 1 bull home!

We have two consultants as well as Soderglen staff that are available to help you with your decisions. Should you choose to use our Sight Unseen Purchase

Program, Will, Mark or Scott will handle your bid to get the bulls you require.

Internet Bidding Only

We will be using VJV and the Canadian Satellite Livestock Auction internet bidding again this year. Blair Vold and the VJV crew will be able to assist you on sale day.

To participate in the internet bidding option you will need to phone Soderglen at (403) 948-6734 and register for a buyer number prior to the sale. Bidding number to call on sale day is 403-948-6700. You will be contacted the week after the sale for settlement and delivery instructions.

If at all possible, we invite you to stop by to evaluate the bulls prior to sale day. If distance is a problem, we can provide you with a free DVD of all the bulls for home viewing.

“If you are not satisfied with a bull upon delivery, you have absolutely no obligation to take the bull.”

terms of retaining

half interestBuyer pays the bid price and has possession of the bull for the spring/summer breeding season and

throughout the year except when Soderglen exercises their right to use the bull for their fall breeding program in September and October of each year.

Soderglen, at their option, may pick up the bull and use him for their summer calving program. They may also place the bull in a stud unit and collect semen. Any semen sold on the bull will be split 50/50 with his owners.

Soderglen will take full responsibility for all expenses and assume all risk, re: death or injury while they have possession of the bull. When Soderglen exercises their possession rights, they will offer to maintain the bull at their expense until the following spring and then deliver the bull back to the buyer. In the event of injury or death while under Soderglen’s care, the owner will receive full purchase price. For that reason Soderglen suggests you cover your bull while in your possession. The buyer receives 100% of the salvage value of the bull.

Semen Rights

Please note: On a few designated bulls we retain the right to collect, use and market semen at some future date. As purchaser of the bull you will receive a 25 percent revenue-sharing semen interest, along with full possession of the bull. Semen will be collected at your convenience and at our expense during the off season. This in no way affects your use of the bull! In the event semen is marketed and revenue is produced the resulting proceeds, minus incurred expenses, shall be divided among those who own a semen interest.

Soderglen Bull Management

We here at Soderglen have spent 25 years in the bull business and have learned to become very dynamic and responsive in this ever changing cow industry. We understand the needs of our customers change over time, therefore we do.

Whether you are a customer needing bulls with exceptional calving ease, looking for performance

packed Hybrids or quality grade characteristics with a disposition you can trust, you will find them all here at Soderglen. Here are some things we can proudly say we deliver on and that you can trust:

1. We understand the need for cattle that calve as we require the same here. Soderglen calved 1500 cows and 350 first calf heifers last year with no veterinarian visits at all! We know these genetics will calve regardless of breed. All bulls born with birth weights 110 lbs and greater are castrated at birth. Year after year we castrate less of these simply because their existence is fading in our program.

2. Disposition is becoming more important in our business and we know that it is a huge priority to many customers.We have culled hard for years at Soderglen getting the temperaments more predictable.We have scored each and every bull for you and the scores are printed in the catalogue. PLEASE USE THESE, as they are a great tool in selecting your next herd sire.

3. Longevity. The longer the bull is in your program the cheaper he becomes.We believe culling is the most important way to manage this trait.We have culled the 2012 sale bull offering very hard and therefore guarantee each and every bull sold!

4. We have worked with Nutrition Services for years now on developing these long yearling and two year old bulls for optimal growth with a target testing period gain of 3 lbs. per day. For the remainder of the bulls’ life at Soderglen they are fed a high roughage low energy ration that maintains them at 2 lbs. per day.We can see the difference and so can our customers in the amount of foot problems we don’t have!

**Note that not all calves from Bull B have a higher weaning weight, but the average is 50 lbs higher

EPD’s are predictions on how each bull rates against his own contemporary group and the

rest of the breed. EPD’s evaluate group averages and offspring’s performance, however they cannot predict individual performance or weights.

For example, if Bull A (WW EPD of +10) and Bull B (WW of +60) were randomly mated with 10 similar cows, we would expect the group average weaning weight of Bull A’s offspring to be 50 lbs lighter than Bull B’s (60 - 10 = 50).

I Survived!

My curfew was the streetlights and my mom didn’t

call my cell, she yelled, “Time to come in!” I played

outside with friends, not online. If I didn’t eat what

my mom made me, then I didn’t eat. Hand sanitizer

didn’t exist but you COULD get your mouth washed

out with soap. I rode a bike without a helmet and

getting dirty was OK. I also drank water from a

garden hose and survived!

A Lesson on Swearing

A 6 year old and a 4 year old are raking the yard.

The 6 year old asks, “You know what? I think it’s

about time we started learning to cuss.” The 4 year

old nods his head in approval.

The 6 year old continues, “When we go in for

breakfast, I’m gonna say something with hell and

you say something with ass.”

The 4 year old agrees with enthusiasm.

When the mother walks into the kitchen and asks the

6 year old what he wants for breakfast, he replies,

“Aw, hell Mom, I guess I’ll have some Cheerios.”

WHACK!

He flies out of his chair, tumbles across the kitchen

floor, gets up and runs upstairs crying his eyes out,

with his mother in hot pursuit, slapping his rear with

every step.

His mom locks him in his room and shouts, “You can

stay there until I let you out!”

She then comes back downstairs, looks at the 4

year old and asks with a stern voice, “And what do

YOU want for breakfast, young man?”

“I don’t know,” he blubbers, “but you can bet your

fat ass it won’t be Cheerios!”

Soderglen

South

Our South operation includes separate ranches — the Fort McLeod operation is

now a summer ranch with cattle moved between Cardston to Fort McLeod for the summer.

Cardston is the base for wintering and calving and is managed by Roger Gerard and it maintains a cowherd of 1500 mother cows of 5 seedstock lines. Ross, Scott and Elan as well as staff from Airdrie help Roger during the busy months of calving and weaning.

The cowherd winters on native Foothills Fescue and then goes to bale grazing till May when calving starts. All calves go to Airdrie in the fall and heifers are bred in Airdrie and sent down in the fall.

All breeds of cattle, whether they are Angus, Charolais or Simmental are treated exactly the same. The young cattle are separate as first calvers and then run as one herd. They are

separated by breed at branding and sorted to breeding pastures. These cows are treated no different than our customer’s cattle, as there is not a bushel of grain on the operation. Horses don’t ever get oats unless Roger gets a bag in town!

Chelan, Scott & Wade Chester pulling bulls Thanksgiving weekend

“even the horses don’t ever get oats unless roger gets a bag in town!”

red maxmodified red & Black simmental geneticsOur MAX line is a leader in the industry of Hybrid Genetics. We chose Angus as our base breed because it is the most predictable and consistent producer of mainstream maternal genetics. We selected Simmental as the complementary breed for our MAX line and our first goal was to find solid red and black color, structure with ample performance and carcass merit. The result is Soderglen’s MAX line for F1 and composite hybrid genetics. These MAX and composite bulls give the commercial cattleman a power-backed performance and maternal sire loaded with convenience traits.

Red MAX are registered half-blood simmentals. If you need a paper, just ask!

We have a 5000 head back-grounding facility and bull

test. This is an excellent oppor-tunity to compare genetics in the real world and has guided our genetic program for the last 20 years.

Grain Production

Grain production is a major part of Soderglen’s diversity. With 5000 plus

acres under cultivation we produce all our requirements for silage and feed and with luck on the good years a little extra cash crop. Our grain crew is an integral part of Soderglen ranches. Alejandro, Kyle and Dan are the backbone of the grain division.Alejandro Kyle Dan

red AnguSRed and Black Angus are the foundation of Soderglen’s Program. They represent the largest numbers of mother cows by breed as well as in quality. It is the base breed for our MAX cattle as well as our new line of CCM cattle. We can attribute our success to disciplined breeding strategies using proven AI sires generation after generation. Great cowherds are created by culling and we cull more cows per year than most of our competitors own. Disposition, udders, feet, fertility, maternal performance and calving ease are ruthlessly evaluated yearly.

Soderglen’s purchase of the heart of Merit Charolais heifer calf crop and 50 additional cows has added depth and quality that we needed to expand our Charolais cow herd. We have not seen this quality or demand for Charolais genetics in the last 10 years. We know this breed is again ready to expand and add value to our commercial producers bottom line. Red or Black cowherds will again use this powerful breed of cattle in the near future.

Finished and Complete

No English dictionary has been able to explain adequately the difference between the two words.

In a recently held linguistic competition in London, England attended by the best in the world, Samsundar Balgobin, a Guyanese man from Bachelors Adventure, was the clear winner with a standing ovation lasting over 5 minutes.

His final question was this... How to explain the difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED in a way that is easy to understand? Some people say there is no difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED.

Here is his astute answer...

When you marry the right woman, you are COMPLETE. And when you marry the wrong woman, you are FINISHED. And when the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are COMPLETELY FINISHED!

black maxmodified red & black simmental geneticsOur Black Max program is genetically engineered to be predictable in all aspects of production from calving ease and BW, to polling power and colour pattern. A common question asked is, “Can we use these bulls on black or black baldy cows and not get smoky calves?” The answer is yes. We guarantee it. Should you get a smoky calf from a black, black Hereford cross or Hereford cow, we will purchase the calf from you at top steer price. The Black MAX genetic selection is three generations polled, solid colours, non spotter and non diluted. Approximately 75% of the sale bulls are homozygous in these traits and we only use Simmental bulls that have high probability of being homozygous. For these reasons, these MAX cattle are more predictable for these traits than our purebed lines.

Black MAX are registered half-blood simmentals. If you need a paper, just ask!

Doing business with the folks at Soderglen has been a tremendous blessing, reminding me that there are still real people in our cattle industry who are honest, trusting, and stand behind what they produce. In a world full of ‘takers’, Soderglen continues to do business with traditional values as their foundation, while producing quality bulls and delivering excellent service for the future of our Canadian cattle industry

black anguS

Red and Black Angus have always been very popular British Breeds. They are noted for their calving ease, maternal traits and their ability to marble. With so much to offer, we believe they should have an integral part in most crossbreeding systems. You have the oppurtunity to purchase elite purebred genetics at a price commercial programs can afford.

Bio information

What iS ge & Bio aBC?What is Genetic Evaluation?

An animal’s observed performance for a trait is known as a phenotype. The phenotype (or performance) is influenced by the environment the animal is subjected to or raised in, as well as the genetic contribution of the animal’s parents (dam and sire).

Phenotype = Genotype + Environment

Genetic evaluation attempts to determine and remove the environmental influence, so genetic potential of the animal can be estimated. It’s impossible to determine the environmental influence versus the genetic influence on the performance of one animal. Multiple animals living in the same environment are required to determine the common environmental influence on performance.

How is Genetic Evaluation Reported?

There are many ways that genetic evaluation can be reported, and many ways that genetic potential can be expressed. Breeding values are estimated through genetic evaluation. The estimated breeding value (EBV) is the animal’s genotypic value that is transmittable to offspring, or the genetic potential that is heritable. The estimated progeny difference (EPD) is half of the estimated breeding value. Estimated Progeny Differences (EPD) are selection tools that provide estimates of the genetic value of an animal as a parent. When comparing two animals of the same breed, the difference between their EPD predicts the difference in average performance of their respective offspring.

How does BIO report Genetic Evaluations?

To compare animals of different breeds, or crossbred animals with multiple breeds in their pedigree, producers can use Across Breed

Comparisons (ABCs). ABCs are breed-adjusted EPDs. With ABCs, one breed can be compared to another, a purebred can be compared to percentage cattle and percentage cattle can be compared, regardless of their breed composition. ABCs are calculated from performance data and pedigrees. Performance data includes weights and measures gathered while on test with BIO, as well as herd information collected from the producer. Pedigree includes parents, grandparents, siblings and offspring.

Using ABCs in a Breeding Program:

BIO ABCs are calculated using a fixed base, which is the starting point for comparing animals. The fixed base is as follows:

CE BW WG MILK PWG YG

BASE 0 0 +30 +15 +20 +50

FAT REA %IMF SC BIO$

BASE 0 0 0 0 +2000

For each trait, you can consider the fixed base the average performance. For example, calving ease is the likelihood of requiring assistance at calving for first calf heifers. A positive ABC for calving ease means the calf is less likely to require assistance at calving, while a negative number means the calf is more likely to require assistance.

To make using ABCs easier, BIO calculates percentile ranking for all traits. With percentile rankings, 100 is the best possible rank. For an animal that ranks 95 for a trait, they are in the top 5% for that trait. Rankings are calculated across all breeds, and calculated within breed for purebred animals. Rankings are also calculated for the BIO$ Index.

nutrition ServiCeS

a letter from the

nutrition ServiCeS aSSoCiateSProfessionally balanced diets that provide the

optimal amounts of protein, energy, minerals & vitamins are the foundation of any cattle nutrition program. At Soderglen Ranches, these diets are implemented in combination with intensive animal, feedstuff & bunk management protocols to develop an elite feeding regime that ultimately enhance the reproductive soundness & genetic potential for growth of every animal that carries the ♦S brand. Soderglen stringently applies these aspects of feeding management on a day-in, day-out basis to insure that nothing is left to chance when it comes to the nutritional development of their Seedstock.

Reproductive soundness is highly correlated to the nutritional regime used in bull development programs. Feeding rations that are too high or too low in energy may both equally impair semen quality, albeit for different reasons. Bulls fed to obtain maximum average daily gain while on test usually result in a high degree of body condition. Bulls fed in this manner are susceptible to producing lower quality semen and may also have reduced libido & serving capacity. Alternatively, under-nourished bulls may lack the sexual maturity required at the inception of breeding season, as well as result in large reductions in body condition which could also impair serving capacity. Matching bulls with a moderate energy ration with an optimum ratio of concentrate to forage will allow for development of structural soundness, sexual maturity, and the appropriate body condition for breeding season.

Meeting the nutritional needs to allow for proper overall bull growth and reproductive development is a complex process and is an integral part of making your future breeding bull selections. A crucial facet of bull development is providing the appropriate minerals and vitamins. A few of the most important trace minerals are zinc, copper, and manganese, along with vitamins A, D, & E which are key factors in overall animal growth, semen production, fertility, & hoof integrity. The appropriate concentrations of these minerals and in the correct ratios are thought to be as important as other nutrients for proper development, with a large proportion coming from chelated minerals.

Soderglen Ranches & Nutrition Service Associates have worked diligently to provide a stringent nutritional regime for their operation. Soderglen Bulls have been developed using diets that allow them to express their superior genetic ability for growth & reproductive capacity whilst not producing bulls excessive in body condition. Soderglen Ranches takes great pride in the fact that these bulls are nutritionally prepared to succeed in your cattle operation.

Sincerely,

Aaron Grant Ph.D., Scott Schake Ph.D., &
