JMF Herefords and SimAngus - Annual Production Sale [2/1/25]

H

ello everyone, welcome to our 11 th annual sale! What a year it has been for the cattle industry. Record high prices that seem to keep holding! As cattle producers, we know we always need to be thinking conservatively, but it feels great to be optimistic! We are located in west-central Minnesota just on the east side of the South Dakota border. We currently operate a Hereford and SimAngus cowherd of 100 females at our west farm location. We graze low bottoms or high rocky ridges that are unable to be farmed. We also graze cornstalks or cover crop in the fall. At our east farm, we also custom background about 220 calves at a time. At JMF, we have always kept the maternal factor in mind while making our breeding decisions. Maternal matters! We have NEV- ER entertained trimming feet on a cow to keep her in the herd. Udders need to be problem free. The cow herself needs to survive off what is put in front of her. Often times, it is low quality grass hay or corn stalks, silage for energy, and modified distillers to fill in the cracks. As our focus on maternal stays steady, our emphasis on effi- ciency and performance holds strong as well. By using a Here- ford, SimAngus or SimFord bull, you are taking full advantage of one of the best ways to implant heterosis. We expect our product to create value for the folks that buy the bulls and in turn, show profit on their bottom line. A “norm” that I have come to terms with is how crazy life has been these last few years. As the kids have gotten older, they have become great help and a vital part of keeping our everyday op- eration going. I want to give a big THANK YOU to all of them for how hard they work and how much they love this way of life. I’ve come to a conclusion that we have two passions: raising the best seedstock we can and raising our kids. You will get in- troduced to them on sale day but watch for them in our pre-sale video to get a true grasp of what they can really do. Also, a special and sincere thank you goes out to my wife, Makayla! She works harder than all of us and keeps us all on track. In closing, I’d like to say we are confident that any bull on this sale could go into your program and add value. We look forward to the privilege of working with you. Contact us any time with questions, we love to talk cattle!

See you on Sale Day! - Jared Flower and the JMF crew
