Welcome...
It is our pleasure to invite you to the 9th Annual EXTRA EFFORT Fall Sale at the Fred and Eudell Smith Cattle Center in Clayton, NC. The auction will take place on Saturday, October 18th beginning at 12:00. We encourage you to join us at the ranch on Friday night for an evening filled with pre- sale activities. The Kiddie Cattle Camp begins at 5:30 for all of our young cattle enthusiasts in the family. Starting at 6:30 is an educational program from Dr. Jamie Courter, from right here in Henderson, NC. After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with a doctoral degree in Animal Breeding and Genetics, she spent five years working for Neogen Genomics and in 2023 she became the Beef Genetics Extension Specialist for the University of Missouri. Hear her speak about her passion to help beef producers better understand the uses and benefits of genomic technologies on their herds. We will also hear from Marty Ropp, founder and CEO of Allied Genetic Resources. Our partnership with Allied has played a pivotal role in our quest to breed EVERGREEN Cattle. Hear Marty speak about this relationship and how Allied helps beef producers all across the country. The genetic progress on display in this year’s sale is the result of years of strategic selection, leading genetics, and advanced technologies like Embryo Transfers and RightChoice. This is what we refer to as STRATEGIC COMPOUNDING—incremental gains built on a series of many good decisions. This helps us to achieve our goal of producing EVERGREEN CATTLE : proven, climate-adapted genetics that add lasting value through balanced excellence in calving ease, maternal traits, growth, carcass quality, and phenotype, not sacrificing any one trait for another. One of our core values at this ranch is family, and that extends to our cattle customers. We are forever grateful for the opportunity to serve you and we feel as though when you purchase genetics from us, we become partners. Your herd’s genetics are a huge investment and we stand by every animal that we sell.
The EVERGREEN breeding philosophy would not be achievable without our commitment to embryo transfers. 56% of the bulls in this catalog are embryo calves, and we believe that this is one of the most consistently impressive and uniform calf-crop that we have ever produced, thanks largely to the large contemporary groups of several of our best flushes.
We sincerely thank you for your interest in FSCR Genetics and we look forward to seeing you on sale day.
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” Colossians 3:23-24

FRED SMITH COMPANY RANCH BULL DEVELOPMENT FSC Ranch bulls are developed to adapt to our Southeastern environment by housing in pastures that are primarily Bermuda grass. They are developed on a high roughage ration consisting of ground grass hay, corn gluten, and no more than 0.5 of body weight of corn. We have developed this feeding program to not only allow us to maximize genetic potential, but to keep the customer in mind that purchases them. We want to sell bulls in the same shape we like to buy them in – ready to breed at 14 months of age and that will stay around a long time.

EVERGREEN BREEDING PHILOSOPHY Breeding goals matter! If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there! The EVERGREEN EVERGREEN Magnolia is our company logo -the EVERGREEN EVERGREEN tree is green in all seasons of the year. The EVERGREEN breeding philosophy is simple, yet requires rigor to achieve. To produce cattle that work in all seasons of our industry we must be disciplined and focused to balance calving ease, growth, maternal and carcass traits to provide value to our commercial customers with the most predictable genetics available. At FSC Ranch we take a very long-term view and realize that it takes much longer to achieve excellence than many people think, but through “ Extra Effort” we are confident we can produce the finest SimAngus™ genetics possible for our customers. To achieve the EVERGREEN EVERGREEN genomic system, we emphasize the traits that have the largest economic impact in our customers’ breeding program. For our customers in the cow-calf business the options are simple: Wean more calves and wean heavier calves. Our structured and balanced approach includes: cattle raised on a forage-based high fiber ration, DNA testing, and using all data possible to make our selection decisions. We focus on 5 EPD traits and 2 index traits for the following reasons: 1. Calving Ease Direct EPD (CE) – It all begins with a live calf that does not require assistance and does not impose undue strain on the calf or dam. 2. Calving Ease Maternal EPD (CEM) – CEM is calving ease viewed as the ability of a sire’s daughters to calve unassisted. It has a positive genetic relationship with growth and mature size. That’s why we don’t just select for higher Calving Ease Direct.
3. Weaning Weight EPD (WW) – We believe most of our customers market their calves at weaning time where they are sold by the pound so we emphasize this growth trait.
4. Yearling Weight EPD (YW) – This highly heritable trait offers individual genetic growth potential for increased efficiency in the feedlot.
5. Marbling EPD (MARB)-Consumers are demanding more high-quality beef options and marbling matters and increases return to the cattleman.
6. All-Purpose Index (API) – In NC the average herd size is 41 cows. API is the most effective selection tool available for these producers to achieve profitability. It measures the expected performance of progeny of Sim genetic bulls used on the cowherd, with a portion of the daughters retained for breeding and remaining progeny being sold. 7. Terminal Index (TI) – This is a terminal index that measures the expected average performance of progeny of Sim genetic bulls used on a cowherd, with all offspring placed in the feedlot and sold grade and yield. This includes growth and carcass information only, since all progeny are marketed. The goal at FSCR is to improve our customers profitability and sustainability in the cattle business. We believe this is best achieved by using sires that will produce seedstock bulls and heifers that rank in the top 30% for the 5 EPDs targeted above and rank in the top 10% for both API and TI indexes. When an animal attains this goal, we label it an “EVERGREEN EVERGREEN BULL OR HEIFER.” Therefore, our customers can buy with confidence knowing that every breeding decision is made to produce “EVERGREEN CATTLE!”

FRIDAY NIGHT AT THE RANCH Please join us Friday, October 17 at 5:30 pm.
JAMIE T. COURTER, PH.D. Originally from Henderson, North Carolina, Jamie received a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science from North Carolina State University. It was here that her passion for the beef industry began. Following graduation, she went on to obtain a master’s degree in Animal Breeding and Genetics from South Dakota State University. During her tenure there, she interacted with and learned from producers of all ages and backgrounds. Her thesis research was conducted at the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center in Clay Center, NE, working with leading geneticists to advance calculations of GE-EPDs. This knowledge and experience led to her decision to attend the University of Nebraska-Lincoln for a doctoral degree, where she worked alongside Drs. Ron Lewis, Matthew Spangler, and Temple Grandin to better quantify docility for genetic evaluations. Following graduation, Jamie spent the first five years of her career as a Product Manager and Technical Services Manager at Neogen Genomics. While different titles, both positions had the same goal: to help beef producers better understand the use case and benefits of genomic technology. This encompassed everything from interpreting EPDs to adoption of commercial genetic testing. While there, she gained invaluable knowledge of the global cattle industry, its needs, and pinch points as it pertains to technology adoption. All information and experience that will pose useful in her new role as State Beef Genetics Extension Specialist at the University of Missouri, where she started just Sept. 1st of 2023. MARTY ROPP is founder and executive officer of Allied Genetic Resources, All Beef, LLC and the founder of Allied Feeding Partners, LLC. Originally from Normal, Illinois, the current home office of Allied, Marty grew up in the swine seedstock business but left Illinois in 1982 to pursue his B.S. degree from Kansas State University which was followed by an M.S. degree from University of Missouri. Marty founded the Allied Genetic Resources business in June of 2010. With more than 100 independent seedstock producer owners specializing in the genetic improvement, production and marketing of SimAngus™, Simmental as well as Red Angus, Angus, Gelbvieh Balancer and now Shorthorn commercial bulls, Allied is one of the largest coordinated seedstock service businesses in the US with owners marketing more than 10,000 bulls annually. All Beef, LLC and Allied Feeding Partners, LLC were added to the Allied family in 2017 and 2018 to aid in achieving Allied’s original mission. All programs and initiatives from the Allied family of businesses are built to promote the success of the commercial beef business, primarily using tools and programs to promote genetic improvement, backed by customer service. The latest Allied priority programming centers around Seedstock and Commercial industry implementation of RightMate and RightChoice technologies created by Dr. Mahdi Saatchi at Top Genomics, LLC.
Join us Friday night to hear about the RightMate technology along other news regarding the beef business from Marty Ropp.

Breeding EVERGREEN Bulls - Status Report I n recent years, we’ve invested heavily in our Embryo Transfer program, using it to combine top male and female genetics and move closer to our goal of producing EVERGREEN CATTLE – uniform, consistent, and balanced bulls. This technology allows us to multiply our most elite cow families, ensuring that the best genetics don’t just influence one or two calves a year, but entire groups of sale bulls that are stamped with the same proven quality alongside the FSC Brand. In this year’s sale, 61 out of 108 bulls (56%) are ET calves, including full brothers from flushes to Compounder (9), Copperhead (9), Essential (7), Freedom (15), Honor (7), YON Flagship (13), and Hometown Hero (1). Having this many full and half-brothers available in one offering provides customers with an opportunity that is both unique and valuable: the ability to select from multiple sons of a proven mating, giving confidence that the genetics will transmit consistently in their own herds. Embryo transfer work not only greatly accelerates our genetic progression, but it also produces a much more uniform calf crop. These ET full brothers are impressively similar to each other phenotypically, and they carry that same balance and predictability in their EPD profiles. We have been thoroughly impressed by the consistency offered here—from birth weight to growth, from structure to carcass merit—and believe our customers will see the same results once these bulls go to work. Beyond this sale, the impact of embryo transfer is shaping the long-term direction of our cow herd. By concentrating superior genetics, we are strengthening the maternal base of our program while also elevating performance and carcass traits. Each flush represents not only a step forward for us, but also for our customers who can confidently invest in bulls that are proven to transmit value year after year. The results of this work are evident in every pen of bulls, and we’re excited to share the progress with you.
