SALE INFORMATION Auctioneer—Ken Carney Sale Agent—SEMO Livestock Sales, LLC

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. Females can range two weeks or more around due date even if they were AI bred. Heifers were pasture exposed to bulls after AI. Rectal palpation for pregnancy is subjective and not ex-act because all cows vary in fetal development. AI pregnancies are not guaranteed but highly probable. Gestation length is based on average of 283 days and can come very early or very late. Any heifer found open (by an accredited veterinari-an) will be returned to the consignor and the money will be refunded by the con-signor. 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.

TAGS

All heifers in the sale are identified by a special tag that carries the “Show-Me-Select” trademark and name. This tag indicates that the heifers have met all of the requirements of the Missouri “Show-Me-Select” 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 thank all those who have contributed to the success of this program. Your faith in our ability to make this program work is appreciated.

**NOTICE TO BUYERS**

All heifers in this sale have been Brucellosis calfhood vaccinated between 4 and 12 months of age. All heifers have been vaccinated for Lepto at final pregnancy check and have tested negative for BVD-PI. Necessary health pa-pers to go to any state will be available on all heifers after the sale.

REQUIREMENTS FOR HEIFERS IN THE 2018 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 less than established birth weight EPD maximums, have a minimum pelvic area of 150 cm2 prebreeding or 180 cm2 at pregnancy examination, be a minimum body condition score of 5 on sale day, and meet established health guidelines.

Bred Heifers were managed under the following calendar:

Weaning: All heifers must be calfhood vaccinated for Brucellosis.

Heifers are vaccinated for IBR, PI-3, BVD, BRSV, and 7-way Clostridial. 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.

Reproductive tract scored, pelvic measured, weighed

Heifers are vaccinated for IBR, BVD, Leptospirosis, and Vibriosis 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 to determine breeding dates. (Confirm AI

pregnancy or natural service.)

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.

Heifers are examined on sale day by a final screening committee to eliminate

blemishes (scarred eyes, frozen ears, short tails, rat tails).

Heifers must be a minimum body condition score of 5 (1-9 scale) on sale day.

Heifers have a final pregnancy check within 30 days of sale.

SIRE REQUIREMENTS

Eligible sires must have known ID, be registered by their respective national breed

registry, and have complete EPD information. Sires must meet calving ease EPD

requirements for breeds reporting calving ease EPD. For breeds not reporting

calving ease EPD, sires must meet birth weight EPD requirements. All sires used in

conjunction with artificial insemination must have a minimum accuracy value of 0.6

on a scale of zero to one for the respective EPD's.

The sires used for Artificial

Insemination and Natural

Service breeding have been

listed for each producer. The

table will list the bull name

and breed, the type of service

in which the bull was used (AI

or NS) and his EPD and

Accuracy information. Index

values for the Maternal and

Terminal Indexes for the

respective breeds have been

included.

Expected progeny differences (EPDs) provide estimates of the genetic value of an

animal as a parent. Specifically, differences in EPDs between two individuals of the

same breed predict differences in performance between their future offspring

when each is mated to animals of the same average genetic merit. EPDs are

calculated for birth, growth, maternal, and carcass traits and are reported in the

same units of measurement as the trait (normally pounds). EPD values may be

directly compared only between animals of the same breed. In other words, a birth

weight EPD for a Charolais bull may not be directly compared to a birth weight

EPD of a Hereford bull (unless an adjustment is made to account for breed

differences).

Accuracy is reported as a decimal between zero and one and an accuracy of close to

1.0 indicates higher reliability in data selection. The greater the accuracy, the more

certainty that EPD will not change significantly as additional progeny information

is observed.

TIER II HEIFERS:

Tier II qualification identifies heifers that

are out of high accuracy sires for the traits

listed below. These heifers are identified

with a white ear tag and a tag number

ending in —2.

SHOW-ME PLUS HEIFERS:

A classification of Show-Me Plus was identified in 2015 for a heifer

with a genomic prediction. This could include a registered heifer

with Genomic-Enhanced EPDs or a commercial heifer with a

commercial heifer panel.

Genomics reduces the risk of making poor purchasing decisions. It

enables producers to select for additional economically important traits such as

Stayability, Heifer Pregnancy, Carcass Weight, Marbling, and More. Qualifying

heifers are identified with the Show-Me Plus symbol in the catalog and will be

announced from the sale block.

Approved tests: GE-EPD, GeneMax, Herd Navigator, Igenity Gold/Silver, Method

Choice.
