Since we started the Black Hereford breed of cattle, we have had the good fortune of attracting researchers and beef scientists from around the world who have learned about our cattle. Our selection concentration to this point has been to increase rib eye size, marbling and reduce trim fat while maintaining Hereford feed efficiency. That decision was influenced by our family’s background as cattle feeders. Through these researchers, we have found vertical pelvic size correlates to calving ease more than birth weights alone. As a result, we have been collecting pelvic measurements while also scoring udders and docility in order to add EPDs for these additional traits soon. With these added selection tools, we are turning the generations quickly in order to measure the impact.

Our cow herd is the youngest it has ever been. The average age of our bred females in 3.54 years old. Many of our cows can trace back through 15 or 16 generations of J&N breeding. The depth and diversity of our cow herd means any cow we have can produce our next top selling bull. They are uniformly good. Our primary job is building this cow herd one generation at a time. Good bulls come from good cows.

Each bull in this sale has been raised by his own dam on this ranch. We do not use surrogate cows or sub-producers. Our bulls are born and developed by us on our own land.

Thank you for letting us be your genetics provider. We look forward to talking with you and seeing you at the Sale.

EXPECTED PROGENY DIFFERENCES (EPDs) These EPDs are based on a multi-breed analysis by IGS, the largest beef genetic evaluation system in the world, then adjusted to a Black Hereford base as calculated by Dr. David Riley of Texas A&M University and Dr. Lauren Hana of North Dakota State University for the traits they measure. All other traits are evaluated directly from the multi-breed analysis combining performance records from 12 breed associations and J&N Ranch. An EPD is the difference in expected performance of future progeny of an individual, compared with expected performance of future progeny of an individual of average genetic merit. They are reported in units of measurement for each trait (e.g. lbs., cm, etc.) The data used in this analysis is based on up to 16 generations of J & N breeding and thousands of head of cattle measured over 39 years of performance testing for growth, maternal and carcass traits.

PRODUCTION EPDS: Calving Ease Direct (CE): Predict the average difference in ease with which a sire’s calves will be born when bred to first-calf heifers. Expressed as percentage of unassisted births with a higher value indicating greater calving ease. Birth Weight EPD (BW): BW EPDs are expressed in pounds and predict the average difference that can be expected in an animal’s offspring when compared with another animal in the same genetic evaluation. Birth weight EPDs are primarily used as an indicator of calving ease, with the age and size of the females to be bred usually dictating how much birth weight can be tolerated. Weaning Weight EPD (WW): EPDs are expressed in pounds and predict the average differences in weight that can be expected between the progeny of animals in the same genetic evaluation at 205 days of age. Weaning Weight EPDs do not account for differences in weaning weight that are due to milk. Yearling Weight EPD): YW EPDs are expressed in pounds and predict the average differences that can be expected between the progeny of animals at one year of age.

MATERNAL EPDSMaternal Calving Ease EPD (MCE): Predict the average ease with which a sire’s daughters will calve as first-calf heifers when compared to the daughters of another sire in the same evaluation. Expressed as percentage of unassisted births.Maternal Milk EPD (MM): Milk EPDs are expressed as pounds of calf weaned by a bull’s daughters. They reflect the average differences in weaning weight that can be expected in grand progeny due to the milking ability of a bull’s daughters. Available feed resources will dictate the extent to which milking ability should be selected. Maternal Weaning Weight EPD (MWW): Total Maternal EPDs are expressed as pounds of calf weaned by an animal’s daughters. They account for

average differences that can be expected from both weaning weight direct as well as from milk, and measure a sire’s ability to transmit milk production and growth rate through his daughters.

CARCASS EPDSCarcass Weight EPD (CW): CW EPDs estimate average differences in carcass weight, expressed in pounds at a given age endpoint. Yield Grade EPD (YG): Predict the average differences in cutability that can be expected between the progeny of animals at a given age endpoint. As with all EPDs, YG is expressed as a deviation. Negative values are desirable. To use it, one must keep in mind that it is in yield grade units. Therefore, lower is better. For example, a bull with a -.33 YG EPD would be expected to sire offspring that are 1/3 of yield grade better (lower) than a zero bull. If zero bulls sired an average yield of 3.0 in a particular environment and management system, offspring of a -.33 bull would be expected to have an average yield grade of 2.67 (1/3 of a yield grade better/lower.)Marbling EPD (MAR): Predict the average difference in USDA Quality Grade in an animal’s progeny when compared to the progeny of another animal at a given age endpoint. Expressed in numerical marbling score where one point equals one USDA marbling score. Backfat EPD (BF): Estimate the average differences that are expected in external fat thickness at the 12th and 13th rib between progeny of different animals. Expressed in inches at a given age endpoint. Ribeye Area EPD (RE): Predict the average difference in ribeye area in an animal’s progeny when compared to the progeny of another animal at a given age endpoint. Expressed in square inches.

SELECTION INDEXESThough EPDs allow for the comparison of genetic levels for many economically important traits, they only provide a piece of the economic puzzle. That’s where indexes come in. Through rigorous mathematical computation, $ indexes blend EPDs and economics to estimate an animal’s overall impact on your bottom line. The same technology that led to the dramatic progress in swine, poultry and dairy genetics over the last several decades was used to develop the following $ indexes. All Purpose Index (API): Evaluates sires for use on the entire

cow herd (bred to both Angus first-calf heifers and mature Angus cows) with the portion of their daughters required to maintain herd size retained and the remaining heifers and steers put on feed and sold grade and yield. Terminal Index (TI): Evaluates sires for use on mature Angus cows with all offspring put on feed and sold grade and yield. Consequently, maternal traits such as milk, stayability, and maternal calving ease are not considered in this index.
