Dear Prospective Buyers and Guests,

This is the 57 th SW MO sale and the offering includes 119 fall calving bred heifers from 8 SW MO consigners.

Breeds involved in making up the heifers include Angus, Gelbvieh, Red Angus, Hereford, Simmental, Beefmaster, and composites of these breeds. Many of the heifers went through an estrous synchronization program and received one round of artificial insemination (AI) to a service sire with high accuracy expected progeny difference (EPD) numbers followed by exposure to a natural service (NS) sire with genomic enhanced EPD numbers.

Females can range two weeks or more around a projected calving date even if they were A.I. bred on the same day. The consignor will refund the purchase price or replace the heifer with one of similar value if a heifer is found to be open within 30 days of the sale by a veterinarian. All guarantees are made by the consignor and not the University of Missouri Extension or other organizations or individuals involved in the sale.

This tag signifies that the heifers have met all the requirements of the Missouri Show-Me-Select TM replacement heifer program. Some heifers will carry a white Show-Me-Select tag. This identifies them as Tier Two heifers. Note a complete description of them in the requirements section of this catalog. The Show-Me-Plus Heifer TM designation is for heifers tested with a genomic prediction panel approved by University of Missouri Extension. No special tags used at this time.
CONTRIBUTORS The sale committee and consignors want 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 SPRING 2025 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 greater than established calving ease direct EPD minimums, have a minimum pelvic area of 150 cm 2 at pre-breeding or 180 cm 2 at pregnancy examination, be at a minimum body condition score of 5 and a maximum of 8 on sale day, and meet established health guidelines. Heifers are also evaluated for blemishes and structural soundness. Weaning: • Heifers are vaccinated for IBR, PI-3, BVD, BRSV, Brucellosis (optional), Leptospirosis (5-way), Vibriosis (optional), and 8-way Clostridia (contains Haemolyticum). 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. Pre-Breeding: • Pre-breeding reproductive examination is performed 30-60 days prior to breeding. • Pelvic measurement and reproductive tract scored. • Heifers receive booster vaccinations for IBR, BVD, Leptospirosis (5-way) and Vibriosis (optional) between 30 and 60 days prior to beginning of breeding. All vaccinations must follow label directions. • Internal and external parasites are controlled as needed. Pregnancy Exam: • Heifers are pregnancy examined within 90 days from the start of the breeding season to confirm AI pregnancy or natural service. A pregnancy 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. • A booster vaccination against Leptospirosis (5-way) and 8-way Clostridia (Haemolyticum) is required at pregnancy check. Heifers are examined the day before the sale by a screening committee to eliminate blemishes (scarred eyes, frozen ears, short tails, rat tails). They must have a muscle score of at least a 2, a minimum medium frame score, a body condition score of 5 to 8, weigh at least 800 pounds and not have an undesirable disposition.
Tier 2 Classification: Heifers qualify for Tier 2 (white tag) 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.
Show-Me-Plus Classification:
Heifers tested with a heifer genomic prediction panel approved by University of Missouri Extension will be given the designation of a Show-Me-Plus Heifer. These include breed association GE-EPD, GeneMax Advantage, Igenity Beef, Inherit Select, and Method Choice tests. Heifer DNA samples must be submitted and paid for two months prior to sale date. Genomic panel results must be sent to Regional Coordinator and State Beef Geneticist prior to tagging.

USING THE CATALOG EPD INFORMATION
Expected Progeny Differences (EPD) : Provides the best means of comparing genetic merit of animals within the breed. For each trait evaluated, the EPD incorporates the animals individual and 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 herd mates as well as genetic trend 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.

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 show greater accuracy and more certainty that the EPD will not change significantly as additional progeny information is obtained. If you do not want to bear the risk, use animals with an accuracy of 0.9 or higher.
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.

This logo signifies that the farm is Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) Certified. Beef Quality Assurance is a program that provides systematic information to U.S. beef producers of how good husbandry techniques can be coupled with accepted scientific knowledge to raise cattle under optimum management conditions. Beef Quality Assurance programs have evolved to include best practices around cattle handling, facility management, cattle transportation, good record keeping and protecting herd health, which all result in better outcomes for cattle and producers. Today, having an active BQA certification is more important than ever because the full beef supply chain is leveraging the program to ensure our commitment to food safety, cattle well-being, and beef quality. Show-Me-Select Replacement Heifer Program producers are encouraged to obtain Beef Quality Assurance certification, but it is not required.
