In Proverbs 3:6 — God tells us, “In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
This verse plays a major role not only in our families, but also in our operation.

MISSION STATEMENT
To produce beef that will be genetically profitable for our customers
and enhance a desirable eating experience for consumers.
Dear Friends,
On behalf of Pelton Simmental/SimAngus/Red Angus,
my brother Gary and I, along with our families and cooper-
ators, welcome you to our 20th Annual Production Sale.
Simmental and Red Angus have both phenotype and
genotype differences, and we like the complementary re-
sults we get from both breeds. Today’s economy makes it
necessary to buy not only cattle but PROGRAMS that you
can have confidence in, and we have confidence in this
year’s offering of bulls and heifers that are full of red meat and thickness with
popular genetic bloodlines.
In the past years, we’ve spent a lot of time working with crossing Red Angus
and Simmental genetics and continue to see exciting results. Our two-breed op-
eration offers our customers flexibility and diversity from the 1/2, 3/4, 7/8
and purebred bulls and females. It has been fun and satisfying working with
many of you developing different breeding programs that are successful opera-
tions. Again this year, we are offering an excellent set of heifers, both fall bred
and open spring to be used in commercial and purebred programs.
The ultrasound data for the Simmental, SimAngus, and Red Angus bulls will have adj. ribeye area and % IMF
(marbling) figures available. We will rank the bulls for marbling by ratio’s within the herd for both the spring and fall bulls.
You can’t fairly compare the spring and fall programs because of feed and weather differences so we will make only con-
temporary group comparisons. These figures will be worth studying and can be used to sort through the bulls and see
differences in marbling and ribeye area, which can be valuable information for selection priorities.
Carcass information is a top priority for our breeding program, and we have gradually increased our quality grade and
contribute it to use of carcass quality sires and identifying dams with carcass merit for use in our embryo transplant
program. The beef industry is headed more and more toward making us all accountable for our products, and we are
confident that the genetics and pedigrees in this offering will take you to that next step whether you market through an
alliance or local markets. In 2012, we put in over 350 embryos and are excited about our ET program.
Again this year, we will sell all lots in catalog order beginning with Lot 1. We will have sire groups together making it
easier for you to compare, since many will be ET and AI calves.
We have had numerous comments on the satisfaction of calf crop quality and prices received at various marketing
stages. We are continuing to work on marketing methods for our customers and encourage you to let me know where and
when you like to market your calves.
Again, we want to thank you, our friends and customers, for your interest in our breeding program. We will continue to
strive to keep your confidence in us and as we’ve said before, “We’ll stand behind what we sell.” After all, “Our primary
objective is satisfied customers,” and producing cattle that are capable of making you money.
Sincerely,
Lynn Pelton
