November 18, 2013 Dear Prospective Buyers and Guests We would like to invite you to attend the eighth North Central/ North West Missouri Show-Me-Select Replacement Heifer Sale at Green City, Missouri on Saturday December 21, 2013. The participating producers along with the help and assistance of their veterinarians and regional and state Extension specialists have worked hard this past year to bring you a fantastic offering of bred heifers. While we have not had a sale in this region since 2010, the Show-Me-Select program in this region has never been stronger and we have an outstanding line-up of Angus, Angus cross and Simmental heifers to offer. The Show-Me-Select program is a thorough and proven program designed to develop a bred heifer that is a fertile, productive female who should stay a productive member of your cowherd for many years. 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. All the heifers in the sale have been tested and are negative for PI BVD. Heifers with blemishes and disposition problems have been culled. Nation-wide the percentage of two year olds who require assistance at calving is close to 20%. Producers who purchased SMS heifers through this sale in the past reported having to assist only 8% of the heifers at calving. Eighty-eight percent of these same heifers calved within two weeks of their projected due dates. There are 200 black or black white face heifers consigned to this sale. There are a few registered Angus heifers in the sale and papers will be transferred to the buyer. All the heifers consigned are bred Angus and many of them have been bred A.I. to some of the most popular sires in the breed. If you have questions feel free to call the consignors or either of us. We greatly appreciate your interest in the sale and look forward to seeing you on December 21 st. Sincerely, Gentrie Shafer Jim Humphrey MU Livestock Specialist MU Livestock Specialist shaferg@missouri.edu humphreyjr@missouri.edu (660) 341-2761 (816) 324-3147 http://greencitylivestock.com An excellent SET OF BRED HEIFERS RAISED IN THE GREEN HILLS OF MISSOURI an area known nationwide for the superior feeder cattle and replacement females produced there!

SALE PROCEDURE The sale order was determined by the producer sale committee. Heifers will be sold in uniform lots sorted according to breed type, size, and calving dates. Heifers selling together are expected to calve within a 45-day period. Heifers become the property of the purchaser immediately after the sale. Each animal will be at the purchaser s risk as soon as sold. The seller will aid in the loading of the cattle on instructions from the buyer, but at the buyer s risk. No cattle will be loaded until the conclusion of the sale. All fees will be collected by the Green City Livestock Auction and are to be settled before loading the cattle. 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 AI 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; Sullivan County Extension; or Green City Livestock Marketing, LLC. Calves of Show-Me-Select Replacement Heifers are warranted to be free of genetic defects for a period of six (6) months from date of purchase. Heifers that give birth to an affected calf (exhibits the genetic defect), which is subsequently proven by diagnostic lab or DNA testing to be a genetic defect will have the full purchase price of the heifer plus the DNA testing charge refunded to the buyer by the seller. Please refer to the Show-Me-Select Replacement Heifer Programs terms and conditions for complete guarantee details. 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.

Requirements for Heifers in the 2013 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 2012: 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 2013: 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 2013: 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 Weight (equal to or less than) Calving Ease (equal to or greater than) Beefmaster -0.7 Angus 7.0 Maine Anjou 0.6 Balancer 13.3 MaineTainer 0.0 Brangus 7.5 Red Poll 1.5 Braunvieh 8.0 South Devon 1.2 Charolais 8.2 Gelbvieh 11.0 LimFlex 11.0 Limousin 12.0 Polled & Horned Hereford 2.2 Red Angus 7.0 Salers 0.9 Shorthorn 1.92 SimAngus 13.3 Simmental 11.0 Tarentaise 3.3 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.

USING THE CATALOG EPD INFORMATION 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 AI SERVICE SIRE CED BW WW YW Milk CW Mrb REA Fat +11 1.4 +53 +81 +14 +21 +.40 +1.04 -.04 Lucky Strike 147G (Black Simmental) (.94) (.93) (.61) (.83) (.83) (.83) 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 nonparent 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 Direct (CED): Expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births, with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in first-calf heifers. 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, it is a predictor of a sire's genetic merit for milk and mothering ability as expressed in his daughters. Carcass Weight (CW): Expressed in pounds is a predictor of the differences in hot carcass weight of a sire s progeny compared to progeny of other sires. Marbling EPD (Mrb): Expressed as a fraction of the difference in USDA marbling score of a sire s progeny compared to progeny of other sires. Ribeye Area EPD (REA): Expressed in square inches, is a predictor of the difference in ribeye area of a sire s progeny compared to progeny of other sires. Fat Thickness (Fat): Expressed in inches, is a a predictor of the differences in external fat thickness at the 12 th rib (as measured between the 12 th and 13 th ribs) of a sire s progeny compared to progeny of other sires. Interim EPD (I): An I indicates an interim EPD, which is an average of the parents EPD, plus whatever information is available for the animal. The animal does not have official National Cattle Evaluation EPDs.

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 an 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 questions.
