TO: Prospective Buyers and Guests: Welcome to the fourth Southeast Missouri Show-Me-Select Fall Calving Replacement Heifer Sale. The first Fall Calving Sale averaged $1050, the second averaged $1110 and the third $1118. There are 227 heifers: 185 Black, 30 BWF, 7 Gray and 5 Charolais in this sale with 133 A.I. bred to some of the respective breeds leading Birth Weight EPD sires as well as excellent growth sires. All but 2 herds were A.I. bred and synchronized using MGA and Lutalyse. Breeds include a few registered Angus, 7 gray in color Angus sired heifers, 2 Simmental heifers, 5 Charolais, 5 Amerifax sired heifers and the rest Angus sired that are black or BWF in color. As in the last fall sale all heifers have known birth dates and parentage and several herds have 6 to 7 generations of stacked pedigrees. A few herds have carcass data from U.S. Premium Beef on the steer mates. All heifers' due dates are September 1 to November 25th. The catalog is in alphabetical order and the sale order will be different. The sorts are not necessarily in sale order under each owner. The sorts have color, sire breeding status and due date data listed. All sires have all available growth EPD's listed and scrotal and carcass EPD's where available. As you can see the EPD's are tremendous. The natural sires EPD's are about as good as you will find. Accuracy is also listed. Remember the higher the accuracy towards .99 the more reliable the offspring will be. 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. Sincerely, Roger Eakins Livestock Specialist
