35th Annual Bull Sale

Where Have We Come From? Most of you probably have a story or two about the contrast between the beef industry now and how things were when you got started. Was it harder to make ends meet on a calf check then? Was there more anxiety then, or now: because we now have so much at stake? Are we taking for granted the tremen-dous record setting pace of the beef industry? Or might we be wise to step back, take stock and be thoughtful? It’s easy to lose perspective in a whirlwind. So we thought a little perspective might be refreshing this year. I asked Grandpa Stew to tell me everything he remembers about getting into the cattle business. He remembers his 4th grade teacher at the one room school down the road from us asking for an essay about what they all wanted to do when they grew up . . . Granddad’s essay was about having a 400 to 500 cow ranch, and he proceeded to describe a dream that he refused to ever let go of. In 1964 he began buying calves at the local auction yard. Herefords dominated this country then and he would pick them up at around 300 lbs in September and October. It usually took him 2 months to scrap together 200 head to winter, and then fatten on irrigated pasture the next summer. When they hit 900 lbs in the fall, they trailed for 2 days down to the rail yard in Augusta, because he could capture a premium by marketing them himself in Chicago, rather than locally. The ranchers all boarded with their cattle once they were loaded to rendezvous in Great Falls with bull cars from Pendroy, Bynum, Choteau, Raynesford and all the country in between. Usually 100 cars would finally head north to Havre and the main line. The ranchers stayed in a converted passenger car that had no seats, but plywood bunks, a coal stove to cook on and kerosene lanterns. Poker games went night and day. The train stopped in Minot to feed and water; they would begin at the front car unloading cattle, working their way to the end and then back to the lead car to reload which was an 8 hour pro-cess. They arrived in Chicago 5 to 7 days before the special “Auction of Western Montana Cattle”. The stockyard brokered feed and Granddad always volunteered to work on the feed crew of a team and wagon pitching hay into bunks. That way he could sort off some of the best hay for his yearlings. The railroad was already anticipating the end of this arrangement, with cars and bull boards in neglect and disrepair. They were no longer interested in accommodating cattlemen. The stockyard too was in decline: the pens and cement water tanks always needed fixing or cleaning. Some pens had trees growing in them. Granddad says it was obvious they were living the last of an era. Grandpa Stew bought his first pairs in 1968, began contracting through the local cattle buyers, and in the mid 80’s cultivated relationships with farmer/feeders in the midwest who would feed his calves, and buy his bull customers’ calves. What do you suppose the young Stew Schwartz might have thought in 1968 if he heard we would one day raise a steer to 800 lbs in 8 months and sell him for over $2/lb? “Don’t waste it...” How about Mike’s story? Dad arrived in Choteau Montana from a small farm in Wisconsin in 1966. He was 14 and dreams of the cowboy life loomed large... How to get there? He hired on in High School with a 2nd generation rancher who took him under his colorful tutoring and taught him to ride, care for horses, work cattle horseback, and keep kids busy on a ranch. Without ear tags or any other identification, Ed Yeager showed him how to watch cattle carefully; how to pair up a cow based on how she looked at a calf. But the deeper philosophies of cattle genetics, feeding properly and managing grass came when he began working for Stew. Granddad was building a registered Simmental herd through extensive use of AI, so Dad learned to do it. He bought his first heifer from Granddad, managed to settle her to a Simmental bull and thought, “I have got to have more of this!” He began leasing part of Granddad’s place, farmed and irrigated malt barley and hay ground, ran cattle for Stew and began aggressively keeping replacement heifers. Granddad always was enthusiastic about the science that Simmental breeders and American Simmental Association brought to the cattle business and so Dad had a lot of opportunities to learn how to look at cattle objectively and pay close attention to confirmation. How does Dad sum up those early years? “Work hard when you’re young and have plenty of drive and desire and grit. Working hard can cover a multitude of sins. It takes a lifetime to get somewhere when you start from zero.” Mike’s first feeder calves weighed 425 lbs and sold for $0.29/lb after he had paid a record $500 for bred heifers. The calf check didn’t even cover the interest payment. What do you suppose the young Mike Richert might have thought in 1973 if he heard we would one day raise a steer to 800 lbs in 8 months and sell him for over $2/lb? “I sure hope they don’t waste it . . . “ Through the 80s and 90s as the five of us kids got to be more useful, we continued to run mostly Granddad’s cows, aggressively kept replacement heifers, learned to AI, gradually paid for an older line of machinery, farmed and put up hay. We learned things the same way they did: by doing them. By asking ourselves every day: “How badly do I want this life?” So that’s where we come from: self made men with a vision. Men who have taken the time to pass on a life’s worth of lessons and values and knowledge and skill. But the keenest lesson we are thinking about right now is the one about opportunity... We are determined not to waste this. How does that all come together at an Open Gate Ranch Bull Sale? The mission behind our genetic program is to achieve maternal excellence: bulls are necessary and feeder calves pay the bills but the mama cow IS IT. That is why we don’t sell young females and probably never will- they represent the core value of our program. This bull sale is the product of us always trying to make our cows better. While carefully heeding the science and numbers behind good genet-ics, we never want to lose the ability or priority of judging an animal with the eye... that value remains a constant. We never want a trend to pull us away from what a functional cow has to be. Good dispositions are an absolutely critical criteria: we don’t tolerate aggression and certainly do not expect you to. The bulls are hand fed and handled extensively during the test to evaluate this trait. Carcass values are always balanced against performance, early gain and profit to the rancher. We believe the rancher deserves the first and best cut. Our own cattle on feed have proven it is possible to breed for high industry standards without donating profit into a grid. The reality is that most commercial cattlemen cannot capture all the value of a premium carcass animal. So we work hard to maintain value at the front end. We work hard to con-tribute profit and sustainability to the commercial cattleman’s program. Because that is where we come from. May this year of tremendous opportunity be bringing you all a well deserved breath of relief, of fresh air and optimism. We can’t wait to see you in March!

May your hay yards stay full...The Open Gate Crew

ABOUT THE BULLSEPDs on both sale bulls and Reference Sires are printed as calculated by American Simmental Association and follow the Simmental definition for each trait.

Ultrasound scan data was taken on January 22 by Sonya Gregory and interpreted at a Central Ultrasound Processing Lab. It is an actual calcula-tion of each bull’s carcass information that has been adjusted to a 365 day measurement, which will facilitate accurate comparison between bulls. American Simmental Association provided updated Carcass EPDs based on the scan data. IMF is marbling as a percent of mass, BF is back fat in percent of inch, and REA is rib eye in square inches. Scan weight listed in the sale book was taken on 1/22/2015.

Scrotal evaluation and fertility testing was done by Dr. Cale Bjornstad on February 4.

Every bull has been ear notched and tested for BVD Persistent Infection and the bulls have had all standard immunizations including vaccination against foot rot. We want you to buy with no concerns about viral issues

SALE MANAGEMENT

Open Gate Ranch is a great place to find the genetics you need to move forward in the beef business. The calving ease, growth and end product value priorities of the Richert family program are evident in the bulls they offer each year and what their customers expect when they sort through the bulls there. They truly understand what is important to be profitable in the commercial cattle business because in addition to their seedstock herd Open Gate Ranch is commercial cattle producers as well. It is important to understand the needs of your customers and you can count on that commitment here.That promise to customers doesn’t end with weaned calves either. For years, following the genetics they provide through the feedlot cattle produced by their customers has been a priority. Focusing on your customers and then their customers ultimately pays dividends and that’s why collecting data and feedback from feeders down chain helps them do a better job of producing seedstock that promote profit for everyone involved in the beef business.Just as important as the great genetics this family produces is the service and hospitality you will always receive from them. They are just great folks. They develop a quality product in a way that assures longevity, they make the bull buying experience a comfortable and enjoyable one and then they stand behind the bulls they sell with follow up and warranty that is among the best you will find. They want you to be satisfied and successful every time you purchase bulls from them and that commit-ment has been around for a very long time.At Allied, we are privileged to work with great folks like Mike, Kim and the whole family every day. Most of you buy bulls from them because of the fine people they are. If you haven’t met them or have never purchased bulls from Open Gate I encourage you to do so. You will be glad you did. Stop by, see the bulls at the farm or just plan to be with us March 17 for the sale at the Broken O Land and Livestock sale facility. You also can get more information at www.opengateranch.com.

In Memory of....Open Gate Ranch would like to acknowledge the loss of an extraordinary man from our community this year. Gary Anderson was a rare and warm and genuine landmark in the Millegan area and he battled cancer for 9 years with the most incredible courage, high spirits and true joy. He loved his family deeply, loved people, loved telling stories, and loved caring for his cattle and his impossibly beautiful ranch on the Smith River. Anyone who has ever had the privilege of visiting that place will never forget it-primarily because of Gary’s match-less charm and generosity and fabulous hospitality. May we all strive to leave such a memory on the world. . . He will be sorely missed.

LET OUR FULL CIRCLE ALLIED TEAM WORK FOR YOU!The power of Allied is de! ned most simply as the strength of its member owners and their base of important commercial bull and female customers. As the only beef genetics company focused squarely on improving both genetics and service for the commercial beef business we set our sights high planning and executing services that bene! t the entire beef chain. Only when each individual in a system focuses on the success of their customers can the potential for that chain and its participants to share success be maximized. The owners of Allied provide value to their customers and their customer’s customers everyday through sustained e" orts to produce constantly improved and pro! table genetics. Allied’s charge is to assist with service options that add value to the improved genetics o" ered by its committed ownership. Shouldn’t the highest reputation commercial beef producers who commit to using the most pro! table genetics be rewarded for their e" orts? We believe the obvious answer to that is yes!

By building industry partnerships, leveraging the size and scope of a reputation seedstock producing system and by taking advantage of great relationships, Allied is driving forward with value enhancing services for the future. Whether you have interest in our feeder calf and replacement female marketing solutions, the services available through the strategic partners of Allied, genet-ics consulting for a pro! table future or our sale day professional seedstock purchasing options, give any of us on the Allied team a call or check us out at www.alliedgeneticresources.com. Today’s wonderful pro! ts will most certainly drive this industry through its greatest period of change in history.
