University of Missouri Extension Cape Girardeau County 684 W. Jackson Trail Jackson, MO. 63755 573-243-3581 November 1, 2011 TO: Prospective Buyers and Guests: Welcome to the thirteen Southeast Missouri Show-Me-Select Spring Calving Replacement Heifer Sale. The May 2011 Sale averaged $1764 on 120 heifers. The preg checks were started in late June and the open heifers from some of these herds were placed on feed and have already gone to market as finished cattle. There have been some $2000 plus heifers at U.S. Premium Beef and they have averaged $1550 on finished heifers. The 126 heifers in this sale were started from 680 heifers that we have individually sifted and sorted. The breeding work is already done and some will start calving in 2 months. Guaranteed bred heifers, and not having to feed and take care of the heifer that did not breed is worth about $250 - $430 per heifer to you. Remember, those heifers are guaranteed bred for 30 days after you buy them. Contact the consignor before 30 days if you suspect one is open. The genetics on most of these heifers is excellent with 6-7 generations of stacked pedigrees in several of the herds. Also some have been sending cattle to U.S. Premium Beef for processing and have carcass data on steer mates to the heifers. If you as a producer are wanting to develop a herd, 20 years of selections are already done on some of the consignments. There are 98 black, 24 F, 1 gray, 1 red and 1 RWF heifer in the sale. There are 13 Registered Angus and 3 Registered Simmentals. 14 are also Tier 2 Heifers in the sale. 54% are A.I. bred. There are three regions of the State in this sale. We have our top herds back, but also Crooks Farms from near Kansas City and Rich Vehige from north of St. Louis who are top selling farms in their regional sales are bring consignments to our Southeast Region Sale. Consignors are listed in alphabetical order so the sale order will be different. The catalog has footnotes for your use. I have also included accuracy on the EPD s and also Carcass and Scrotal EPD s on AI sires. Remember, the higher the accuracy towards.90 or above the more reliable the data is in selection. Thanks for attending the Sale, or just studying the catalog. If you have questions feel free to call me 573-243-3581, look at our website: semobeef.com, or call the consignor at the number listed.

General Information Auctioneer Ken Carney Sale Agent Fruitland Livestock Auction, Inc. The sale order was determined by consignors drawing for a position in the rotation. Each consignor selected those 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 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 Fruitland Livestock Auction, Inc. and are to be settled before loading. GUARANTEE All heifers are guaranteed bred and are guaranteed to remain pregnant for 30 days after the sale. Due dates are approximate.

Any heifer found open (by an accredited veterinarian) will be returned to the consignor and the money will be refunded by the consignor. Heifers are guaranteed against genetic defects on first calf only if inspected and documented by a veterinarian. All guarantees are made by the consignor of the cattle, not the sale committee or the SEMO Cattlemen s Association.
