2 Auctioneer - Jack Lowderman Sale Agent - F & T Livestock Market SALE PROCEDURE The sale order was determined by consignors drawing for position in the sale rotation. Each consignor selected heifers to sell in each rotation. Heifers will be sold in uniform lots sorted according to breed type, size and those selling together are expected to calve in a 45 day period. Heifers become the property of the purchaser immediately after the sale. Each animal will be the purchaser's risk as soon as sold. The market will aid in the loading of the cattle on instructions from the buyer, but at the buyer's risk. Cattle will be loaded at the conclusion of the sale. All fees will be collected by the F & T Livestock Market and are to be settled prior to loading. GUARANTEE All heifers are guaranteed bred and are guaranteed to remain pregnant for 30 days after the sale. Due dates are approximate. Females can range 2 weeks or more even if A.I. bred on the same day. Any heifer found open (by an accredited veterinarian) will be refunded by the consignor. All guarantees are made by the consignor of the cattle and not the sale committee; the Northeast Missouri Beef Cattle Improvement Association; or F & T Livestock Market. TAGS A special tag that carries the Show-Me-Select trademark and name identifies all heifers in the sale. This tag signifies that the heifers have met all the requirements of the Missouri Show-Me-Select replacement heifer program. Some heifers may carry a white Show-Me-Select tag. This identifies them as Tier Two heifers which is explained in more detail later in this catalog. CONTRIBUTORS The sale committee and consignors wish to thank all those who have contributed to the success of this program. Your faith in our ability to make this program work is appreciated.

3 Welcome We would like to invite you to attend the 12th annual fall Northeast Mo. Show-Me-Select replacement heifer sale at Palmyra, Mo., Dec. 13, The Northeast Region was one of two pilot regions when the Show-Me-Select heifer program was started in Missouri under the leadership of Dr. David Patterson. The Palmyra sale is one of only two sales that were held the first year. During the twelve years we have run approximately 20,000 head of heifers through the program and with this year s sale will have sold 3625 head. Buyer Satisfaction We have surveyed the buyers of heifers from our first ten sales to see how they got along calving their Show-Me-Select heifers. We have had about a 90% buyer satisfaction rate. Results follow: No. Buyers Responding 368 No. Heifers Purchased No. of Heifers Assisted at calving = 10.9% No. Of calves lost due to difficult birth = 5.4% No. Heifers calving within 2 weeks of projected date = 89.2% The national average for assisting first calf heifers is around 22% and for death due to calving problems is 8-10%, so we are pleased with our results and are striving to improve. Quality This is an outstanding set of heifers. Many of the heifers have years of performance testing behind them and are out of top performance tested bulls. Information on the sires of many of the heifers are available upon request. Calving Dates Heifers with blemishes and disposition problems have been culled. About 70% of the heifers have been synchronized and are bred A.I. Many of them will be grouped so they calve in less than a two week period. About 90% of the heifers sold in our past four sales calved within two weeks of our projected calving dates. Questions Heifers will be grouped for the sale according to projected calving dates and uniformity of the heifers. If you have questions feel free to call the consignors or either of us. Hope to see you Dec. 13. Al Kennett Zac Erwin MU Livestock Specialist MU Livestock Specialist Kennetta@missouri.edu Erwinz@missouri.edu (573) or (573) or (660)

4 Requirements for Heifers in the 2008 Replacement Heifer Sale These requirements are designed to minimize the incidence and severity of calving difficulty and protect against potential reproductive losses. Heifers must be bred to service sires at or above established calving ease EPD s minimums, have a minimum pelvic area of 150 cm 2 prebreeding or 180 cm 2 at pregnancy examination, be a minimum body condition score of 5 and a maximum of 8 on sale day, and meet established health guidelines. Fall 2007: All heifers must be calfhood vaccinated for Brucellosis according to Missouri state regulations. Heifers are vaccinated for IBR, PI-3, BVD, BRSV, and 7-way Clostridia. Label directions concerning initial vaccination and boosters must be followed. Use of implants is discouraged. If heifers are implanted, only FDA approved products for replacement heifers are allowed according to label guidelines. Long-term use of MGA is prohibited. Use of MGA for periods up to 14 days to synchronize estrus is permitted. Internal and external parasites are controlled as needed. Heifers must be polled or de-horned and completely healed by sale day. Spring 2008: Pre-breeding reproductive examination is performed. Reproductive tract scored, pelvic measurement, weighed. Heifers are vaccinated for IBR, BVD, Leptospirosis and Vibriosis between 60 and 30 days prior to beginning of breeding. All vaccinations must follow label directions. Internal and external parasites are controlled as needed. Fall 2008: Heifers are pregnancy examined by 90 days to determine breeding dates. (Confirm AI pregnancy or natural service). A preg check is also done within 30 days of the sale. Heifers are treated for external and internal parasites within 30 days of sale date. Products for internal parasite control must have a label claim for all stages of the parasite life cycle. Leptospirosis (5-way) given at preg check. Heifers are examined on sale day by a final screening committee to eliminate blemishes. (scarred eyes, frozen ears, short tails, rat tails.) They must have a muscle score of at least a 2 and not have an undesirable disposition. Tested negative for BVD-PI. Heifers must be bred to bulls with birth weight or calving ease EPD's that meet the guidelines for the following breeds based on the current genetic evaluation at the time of breeding for the respective breed associations. Accuracy values of 0.6 or better for birth weight and calving ease EPDs are required on AI sires: Birth Weigh (equal to or less than) Calving Ease (equal to or greater than) Balancer -1.5 Gelbvieh 109 Beefmaster -0.2 Simmental +9.7 Brangus +0.7 Red Angus +9.0 Braunvieh -2.2 Limousin +11 Salers -0.5 Hereford +1.5 Red Poll +0.0 Angus +7.0 SimAngus -1.8 LimFlex +10 Maine Anjou +1.1 Shorthorn +2.4 Tarentaise +4 Charolais +9.4 Tier 2 Classification: Heifers will be eligible to qualify for Tier 2 in the Show-Me-Select Replacement Heifer Program based on the following minimum accuracies of the heifer s sire at the time of sale for the respective traits listed below. Trait Accuracy Calving ease (direct).65 Calving ease (maternal).30 Weaning weight.85 Carcass weight.25 Marbling.25

5 USING THE CATALOGUE EPD INFORMATION Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) provide the best means of comparing genetic merit of animals within the breed. For each trait evaluated, the EPD incorporates the animals within the breed. For each trait evaluated, the EPD incorporates the animal's individual and progeny performance with progeny performance information from other relatives. By utilizing national sire evaluation information, the evaluation also utilizes information from related traits and accounts, in part, for differences in the genetic merit of herdmates as well as genetic trends within the breed. Each trait evaluation predicts expected progeny performance relative to a fixed breed average - hence the term "Expected Progeny Difference." The key word is "difference". The EPD itself does not imply "good" or "bad" performance, only whether the performance of progeny is expected to be above or below that of progeny from average parents. Breeders should, on an individual basis, decide what is best for them by considering what traits are important to their program, their current herd performance, and the degree of change desired. Example Service Sire CE BW WW YW Milk Lucky Strike 147G (.12) -1.0 (.36) +32 (.32) +55 (.31) +14 (.24) Accuracy (acc): A measure of certainty regarding the EPD evaluation for a performance trait. Accuracy is reported as a decimal number between zero and one; larger values indicate greater accuracy and more certainty that the EPD will not change significantly as additional progeny information is obtained. Accuracy values of less than.20 are typical for non-parent bulls. Birth Weight EPD (BW): The expected difference in average birth weight (lbs) of progeny. Birth weight reflects prenatal growth potential and may also be used as an indicator of calving ease. Calving Ease (CE): The ease with which a bull's calves are born to first-calf heifers. When comparing two bulls, the larger EPD indicates a higher percent of unassisted births for calves sired by this bull. Weaning Weight EPD (WW): The expected difference in average weaning weight (lbs) of calves. The evaluation reflects genetic influence on pre-weaning growth rate. Yearling Weight EPD (YW): The expected difference in average yearling weight (lbs) of progeny. The evaluation reflects genetic influence on pre-weaning and post-weaning growth rate. Maternal Milk EPD (Milk): The expected difference in average weaning weight (lbs) of daughter's calves, which is attributed to milking ability. In other words, is a predictor of a sire's genetic merit for milk and mothering ability as expressed in his daughters.

6 Managing Your Show-Me Select Replacement Heifers Your investment in Show-Me-Select replacement signifies a commitment to improving the genetic quality and reproductive efficiency of your beef herd. Replacement heifers require specialized care and management until they enter the breeding herd as mature cows. To protect your investment, you may find the following guidelines helpful. Targets At the time of purchase, your heifers will weigh approximately 75 to 85% of their mature weight with a minimum body condition score of 5. Heifers should reach 85% of their mature weight by first calving. Heifers should calve and begin lactating at a body condition score of 6. In order to reach these targets on schedule, heifers should be fed to gain between 0.5 to 0.75 per day minimum from now until calving. Nutritional Management from purchase to First Calving Gains of the desired magnitude can be a challenge during winter months. Additionally, heifers are then entering the final trimester of pregnancy when a majority of fetal growth occurs. To ensure heifers enter calving season at the proper target weight and body condition several things are required. Heifers should be maintained separately from older animals if at all possible. This is necessary to minimize undesirable social interaction at the feed bunk, water tank, and mineral feeder. Diets should meet certain nutritional standards. Crude protein of the diet should be 12.5 to 13%. Net energy for maintenance and gain should be approximately 0.65 and 0.32 Mcal/lb, respectively. These energy levels are roughly equal to 60% dietary TDN. Good-quality trace mineral salt and vitamin supplement should be made available and can be offered free choice or mixed with another component of the diet. Body condition of heifers should be monitored. Heifers should not lose or gain more than 1 body condition score from now until calving. A change in 1 body condition score reflects a net weight gain or loss of approximately 80 pounds. Nutritional Management from Calving through Breeding In many cases, pasture will allow acceptable performance during the spring and early summer. Proper supplementation of trace minerals and vitamins remain a critical feature of management during this period, but energy deficiencies are more likely to create problems with re-breeding. Body condition must be monitored to determine if supplemental feeding is necessary. Failure to provide supplemental energy, if needed, can delay the onset of cycling, lengthen the time from calving to 1 st heat post-calving and potentially result in decreased pregnancy rate. Examples of energy supplements suitable for heifers during early lactation include: high-quality forages, cracked corn, soybean hulls, or corn gluten feed fed at varying amounts according to condition and weight gain desired. Proper pre- and post-calving nutritional management of your Show-Me-Select replacement heifer should ensure successful re-breeding. Consult your local university extension professional and/or veterinarian for nutritional counseling should you have any question.
