Don’t discount him just yet. He was a twin and didn’t come in pounding the
scales down, but give him a chance. His dam’s first calf also a bull, weaned off
with an impressive adjusted weaning weight of 808 lbs. to ratio 112! His sire
Gerrard Montezuma 6T was the National Champion Bull in Denver in 2010.

Anchored by one of the storied cow families at the CD. His grandmother is the
famous GS Tina 5493, making 4131’s dam a maternal sister to carcass leader CCF
Knob Creek, who’s sons will sell as Lots 36, 37, 38 & 39. I was not surprised in the
least bit that he posted a 2.73 IMF score to ratio 118 and all with just .21 back fat!

An interesting individual here. A bull with a pedigree loaded with northern genetics,
we can expect to have some birth weight behind him. But he brings power along
with it. A weaning ratio at 107, and yearling ratio at 104. Perhaps best of all is
what lays beneath the skin, with nearly a 17 inch REA which is 12% bigger than the
average. He also had just 0.14 rump fat and still posted a 2.71 IMF score to ratio 118.

CD Montezuma 4126 was a member of our 2016 Reserve National West-
ern Grand Champion Pen of Five bulls! Judge Chris Mullinix made the
comment during the show that “4126 had the most true power and mus-
cle of anything in the entire show!” He comes by it honestly; his mother
#5527 is a moderate framed, capacious female that packs a punch. Her
son WCCC Whiplash was a senior herdsire for WCCC before we bought
the herd and his first sons were a large group in our first bull sale when
we sold 9 of his sons for an average of $3,078, all less than 12 months
of age. This bull scanned almost an 18 inch rib eye and the 107 IMF ratio
to go with it makes him a prime candidate if you feed your own calves
and retain ownership.
EPD Vocabulary
Calving Ease Direct (CE)
A higher value indicates greater calving
ease. It predicts the average difference in unassisted births with
which a sire’s calves will be born when bred to first-calf heifers.
Birth Weight (BW)
The expected difference in average birth
weight (pounds) of progeny. Birth weight reflects prenatal growth.
Weaning Weight (WW)
The expected difference in average
weaning weight of calves. The evaluation reflects the genetic
influence on pre-weaning growth rate.
Yearling Weight (YW)
The expected difference in average
yearling weight of progeny. The evaluation reflects genetic
influence on both pre-weaning and post-weaning growth rate.
Maternal Milk (Milk)
The genetic ability of a sire’s or dam’s
daughters to express in pounds of weaning weight in her calves
due to her maternal ability through mothering instinct and milk.
Calving Ease Maternal (MCE)
A higher value indicates greater
calving ease. It predicts the average difference in unassisted
births with which a sire’s daughters will calve as first-calf heifers
when compared to daughters of other sires.
Carcass Weight (CW)
Carcass Weight EPD are expressed in
pounds and is a predictor of the differences in hot carcass weight
between parents progeny at an age constant endpoint.
Ribeye Area (REA)
Ribeye area is a major component of the
USDA yield grade equation and selection for increased ribeye area
should result in larger ribeyes and lower yield grades between
animals with the same carcass weight. Ribeye Area EPD are
expressed in square inches.
Fat Thickness (FAT)
Fat thickness the primary component to
the USDA Yield Grade equation. Fat thickness has a negative
relationship to cutability; therefore, selection base on decreased
fat thickness should result in lower yield grades and leaner cattle
given the same age endpoint. Fat Thickness EPD are expressed
in inches
Marbling Score (MARB)
Marbling is a subjective measure of the
amount of intramuscular fat in the ribeye muscle. Marbling score
is the primary component of USDA Quality grade and selection for
increased Marbling Score EPD should result in cattle with higher
quality grades at the same age endpoints.
Terminal Sire Index (TSI)
The AICA Terminal Sire Index (TSI) is a
formal method of combing Expected Progeny Differences (EPD) –
BWT, WWT, YWT, REA, HCW, MARB and FAT – into one single value
on which to base selection decisions.
The TSI represents a dollar index , this dollar index is to be
interpreted much like single trait EPD. For example, if Sire A’s
index is $191.66 and Sire B’s index is $200.00, then we would
expect Sire B’s offspring to average $8.34 more net return
($200.00 minus $191.66) than Sire A’s offspring.
