There are also 10 Connection daughters and 6 SAF Focus J30 daughters bred to Directive. They are mostly synchronized using the CIDR Lutalase Protocol. There are some top proven genetics in the sale. 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 29th. 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
