Welcome to our 14th annual bull sale! This past year was an exciting
one for Green Mountain Red Angus. Our 2012 bull sale was incredible
and we’d like to thank all of our loyal customers, as well as our new
customers, that have helped to make our sales such a success year
after year. We also had our strongest female sale to date in December.
We are honored to see people putting such value into our genetics
that we have worked so hard to build, and to see our bulls and females
going into some of the top purebred and commercial herds across the
nation.
This past December, we decided to join forces with Superior Livestock.
The only change to this year’s sale will be the time. In order for the
sale to be featured on RFD-TV we had to move the sale to 12:00 pm.
Also, we have catalogued the bulls in sale order. We will still be run-

Multi-breed EPD base simplifies selection
Since 2010, the Red Angus Association of America (RAAA) and the American Simmental Association (ASA)
have combined their growth and carcass datasets to provide commercial producers with the most reliable
EPDs in the beef industry. In the summer of 2012, RAAA and ASA adopted a common base for Growth (BW,
WW, YW, Milk) and Carcass (MARB, YG, CW, REA, FAT) EPDs so that all animals registered in either RAAA
or ASA can be directly compared – regardless of breed makeup.
What is BASE?
For decades, each breed association has presented EPDs in their own language (the base). Base is no more than a reference point for any trait
against which subsequent generations of animals are compared. The establishment of a base ensures that the population future generations are
compared to remains stable, which allows the breedʼs genetic trend to be accurately identified.
Raw Genetic Value + Base Adjustment = Published EPD
Study Percentile Ranks…
Percentile ranks are an easy reference and therefore a powerful tool to assist you in becoming accustomed to the new multi-breed base. Red
Angus EPD percentile ranks are presented along with all active animalsʼ EPDs, and reference how animals compare within their respective Red
Angus subpopulations, i.e. Sire Summary Sires, Active Dams, Non-Parent Bulls, etc. Itʼs important to realize that although the multi-breed base al-
lows for the direct comparison of Red Angus and Simmental EPDs, the percent ranks for Red Angus animals will continue to simply compare the
genetics of Red Angus animals against other Red Angus. Thus, an animal that was in the top 10% for growth under the old Red Angus base will still
be in the top 10% for growth in the new Red Angus multi-breed base.
Example:
In the past, you preferred to purchase bulls that had a -2.0 or lower BW EPD.
Since a -2.0 on the old RAAA base represented the top 20% for BW, you now need to use -2.7 as your critical selection threshold as that represents
the top 20% for BW on the new multi-breed base.

Laramie was our high selling bull in our 2006 sale, selling to ABS. His calves are attracting lots
of attention. The birth weights are moderate and the calves’ growth has been explosive. In fact,
GMRA Laramie 5110
the Laramie sons on test had the 2nd highest average weaning ratio in 2011 and were the 3rd
highest in 2012. His 2012 bull calves on test averaged 102 on their IMF ultrasound, backing up his
outstanding Marbling EPD. Laramie calves are very long and visiting customers always pick them out because of their extra length. They also show thick muscling with excellent fl eshing ability. A quick
glance at his pedigree will show the tremendous Lakota cow family, which is one of the foundations of the Green Mountain Red Angus herd.

Trilogy was Accelerated Genetics’ pick from our 2011 sale. He is a maternal brother to GMRA Make

muscular young sire heavily this past year. His calves were powerhouses from early on, showing
excellent muscling and broad tops, and have carried that on through weaning and yearling. The
bulls on test had the 2nd highest average weaning and yearling ratios. They also turned in top carcass ultrasound data, with an average REA ratio of 104 and an average IMF ratio of 110. This puts the
Trilogy sale lots as the #1 IMF group on test. Look for the Trilogy calves to be all around standouts, backed by breed leading numbers. Trilogy himself posts 12 EPD’s in the top 1/3rd of the breed, with a

Mountain was one of our top bulls in our 2010 sale. He is a son of the fantastic female producer,
GMRA EBV 266. The 266 daughters in production here at GMRA are some of the most consistent
GMRA Mountain 9287 performers in the herd. They are highly maternal and raise calves with excellent depth and
muscling. We expect Mountain to step into his sire’s footsteps and produce his own outstanding
replacements. He is out of an impressive female himself – his dam has an MPPA of 106.3 on 8 calves, and she comes from a dam with a 102.7 MPPA. The Mountain sons on test turned in the 3rd highest
average yearling ratio. They are very attractive with a smooth muscle pattern and have excellent depth of rib.

Mission Statement is truly a “no holes” sire. It’s not every day you can fi nd a sire that is at the
breed average for birth weight, yet gives you the power of a weaning EPD in the top 17% and a

yearling EPD in the top 6%. This high growth bull also provides you with outstanding carcass

doing an excellent job, with MPPA’s as high as 108.3.

Packer is an exciting sire in our line up with extremely well balanced numbers. He is a high volume
bull with lots of muscling that he passes on to his calves. The bulls on test are extremely thick

with good depth and a nice broad top. Several Packer sons are standouts in the feedlot, posting

a great combination with the data the Make It Easy calves are turning in. His sons posted the lowest

Conquest was our top AI sire for heifers for the last three years and we have had great results. His
calves are moderate birth and easy calving. In fact, Conquest had the lowest average birth weight

compliments that with outstanding carcass numbers. Look for his progeny to be moderate framed
with excellent eye appeal. The Conquest daughters in production are making outstanding mothers, with an average MPPA of 102.8. They have great udders and are easy fl eshing. The bulls on test are
broad topped and deep with tons of muscle and had the 2nd highest marbling scores of any sire group.

Alliance has been a standout since early spring and catches the
eye of anyone who walks through the bulls. He carries great mus-
cling with a great rear quarter and depth of rib. His dam posts
an impressive MPPA of 108.5 on 6 calves. She has an average
weaning ratio of 111 and all of her calves have gone on to be
replacements or been in the bull sale. Alliance has been great
at converting feed to pounds, with the highest weaning ratio in
the offering, and has kept on going while on test. He has the 3rd
highest yearling ratio and has the 4th highest ADG at mid-test.
His numbers place him at the top of the breed where he is tied
for the highest WW EPD in the offering and is tied for the #7
YW EPD. He turned in
a great REA scan, with
a 110 ratio, backing up
the 3rd best REA EPD in
the offering. He is also
tied for the #2 CW EPD.
Lot 1 – GMRA Alliance 2216 Alliance is an impres-
sive package from one
end to the other.

Enterprise is the most complete heifer bull you will fi nd this
spring. He came into the world at 57 pounds and never looked
back. He started growing the minute he hit the ground and has
turned in well above average weaning and yearling ratios. When
you start crunching numbers you fi nd the lowest birth weight in
the offering, tied for the #4 BW EPD, which is in the top 10% of
the breed. He follows this up with an outstanding set of numbers
that put 11 of his EPDs in the top 35% of the breed or higher. If
you look at these strictly within the GMRA offering you fi nd he
has the #2 REA and IMF EPDs, the 4th highest CED, the #5 ME,
and he’s tied for the 4th highest STAY. I hope I’m not boring you
with statistics, but the more you look at the importance of this
bull’s achievements, the more amazing he is! All of this is backed
up by the great Ophelia cow family which has produced several
outstanding progeny, including GMRA Cody 7228, who was pur-
chased by Accelerated Genetics. All of this power is wrapped up
in a phenotypically correct package with tons of eye appeal. He is
Lot 2 – GMRA Enterprise 2227 nice and smooth and his head and shoulders are built for calving
ease, yet he carries excellent muscling, rear quarter and depth of
rib. Don’t let Enterprise go home with someone else!
