Welcome!
Thank you for your interest in the 50th Annual Union County Performance Tested Bull Sale. As always, our goal is to offer you bulls and heifers that will produce high-quality, fast growing feeder calves for Southeast beef producers. This sale offering is packed full of bulls bred to perform in many environments that offer high growth as well as superior carcass genetics. The bulls were tested on the farms of the consignors and were all fed a similar bull ration. The test data as well as the performance data and ultrasound information are available in this sale book. Bulls have also been DNA tested and have genomic-enhanced EPDS listed in the sale book or will be available on sale day. The Union County Bull Sale consignors are committed to bringing you their best bulls and believe providing this extra data ensures you have the best information possible to select the bull that will benefit your operation the most. Contact any of the consignors with any questions you may have regarding the bulls or test information.
We are excited to once again be hosting the sale at the Simpson Special Events Center located at 307 Cultivation Circle, Monroe NC 28112, directly behind the Union County Agricultural Center. This Center is a state of the art facility and we look forward to showcasing it again during this year’s sale. Cattle will be available to view Friday evening in the barn and Saturday before the sale.
We hope you can join us on December 6, 2025 in Monroe for this year’s sale; however, if you cannot be here in person, we will have online bidding available again this year on DV Auction. View page 22 for more information on online bidding. We thank you in advance for your consideration of the sale and hope to see you on December 6th!

About the Union County Bull Test
TEST PRINCIPLES
The main purpose of the test and sale is to provide high quality, performance-oriented bulls to commercial cattlemen and women that will not only add pounds to your calf crop and replacement heifers to your cow herd but will inevitably add dollars to your bottom line. The seed stock producers involved with this group are highly aware of the fact that if you as a commercial producer are not successful and profitable then we are not doing our jobs correctly.
OUR GOAL
It is the goal of the producer’s group to provide as much information as possible to enable you, the commercial producer, to identify the bulls that will best fit and add to your operation. You can be assured that this rigorous testing environment has brought to the surface any structural problem that a bull may have and those bulls have been removed from the sale offering. The Union County Performance Tested bulls are structurally sound and ready to go to work in any environment.

Selection Tool Definitions
EPD & $VALUE INDEXES INFORMATION
Each bull with a logo on their pedigree has updated genomic-enhanced EPDs and Indexes. Actual genomics are available by request.
Expected Progeny Difference (EPD) is the prediction of how future progeny of each animal are expected to perform in various measurable production and carcass traits relative to the progeny of other animals listed in the database. Depending on the trait, EPDs are expressed in actual pounds, square inches, or centimeters, plus or minus. While EPDs express similar traits across breeds, EPDs can only be compared to other animals of the same breed, not in between breeds. $Value indexes is an economic selection index that allows multiple change in several different traits at once pertaining to a specific breeding objective. The $Value is an estimate of how future progeny of each sire are expected to perform, on average, compared to progeny of other sires if the sires were randomly mated to cows and if calves were exposed to the same environment.
Percentile Rankings for EPDs and Indexes are listed under each value that is in the top 40% or better. These rankings allow you to see how the cattle in this sale offering rank up to any other bull or female in their respective breed, not just within this sale group. These rankings can only be used within each breed (Angus, Simmental, SimAngus, Balancer), not across breeds.
GROWTH, MATERNAL, & MANAGEMENT EPDS
Calving Ease (CE) or Calving Ease Direct (CED), is expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births, with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in first-calf heifers.
Birth Weight EPD (BW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit birth weight to his progeny compared to that of other sires.
Weaning Weight EPD (WW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit weaning growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires.
Yearling Weight EPD (YW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit yearling growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires.
Scrotal Circumference EPD (SC), expressed in centimeters, is a predictor of the difference in transmitting ability for scrotal size compared to that of other sires.
Docility (Doc), expressed as a difference in yearling cattle temperament, with a higher value indicating more favorable docility. It predicts the average difference of progeny from a sire in comparison with another sire’s calves.
Claw Set EPD (Claw), is expressed in units of claw-set score, with a lower EPD being more favorable indicating a sire will produce progeny with more ideal claw set. The ideal claw set is toes that are symmetrical, even and appropriately spaced.
Foot Angle EPD (Angle), is expressed in units of foot-angle score, with a lower EPD being more favorable indicating a sire will produce progeny with more ideal foot angle. The ideal is a 45-degree angle at the pastern joint with appropriate toe length and heel depth.
Calving Ease Maternal (CEM) or Maternal Calving Ease (MCE), is expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in first-calf daughters. It predicts the average ease with which a sire’s daughters will calve as first-calf heifers when compared to daughters of other sires.
Maternal Milk EPD (Milk), is a predictor of a sire’s genetic merit for milk and mothering ability as expressed in his daughters compared to daughters of other sires. In other words, it is that part of a calf’s weaning weight attributed to milk and mothering ability.
Stayability (STAY), predicts the genetic difference, in terms of percent probability, that a bull’s daughters will stay productive within a herd to at least six year of age.
Hair Shed EPD (HS), expressed in units of hair shed score, with a lower EPD being more favorable indicating a sire should produce progeny who shed their winter coat earlier in the spring.
CARCASS EPDS
Carcass Weight EPD (CW), expressed in pounds is a predictor of the differences in hot carcass weight of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.
Marbling EPD (Marb), expressed as a fraction of the difference in USDA marbling score of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.
Ribeye Area EPD (RE), expressed in square inches, is a predictor of the difference in ribeye area of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.
Fat Thickness EPD (Fat), expressed in inches, is a predictor of the differences in external fat thickness at the 12th rib (as measured between the 12th and 13th ribs) of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.
ANGUS INDEXES
Maternal Weaned Calf Value ($M), expressed in dollars per head, predicts profitability differences from conception to weaning with the underlying breeding objective assuming that individuals retain their own replacement females within herd and sell the rest of the cull female and all male progeny as feeder calves. The model assumes commercial producers will replace 25% of their breeding females in the first generation and 20% of their breeding females in each subsequent generation. Traits included are as follows: calving ease direct, calving ease maternal, weaning weight, milk, heifer pregnancy, docility, mature cow weight, claw set and foot angle.
Weaned Calf Value ($W), expressed in dollars per head, to predict profitability differences in progeny due to genetics from birth to weaning. The underlying objective being producers will retain 20% of the female progeny as replacements and sell the rest of the cull females and their male counterparts as feeder calves. Traits included are as follows (in no particular order): birth weight, weaning weight, milk, and mature cow weight.
Beef Value ($B), expressed in dollars per carcass, is to predict profitability differences in progeny due to genetics for postweaning and carcass traits. This terminal index assumes commercial producers wean all male and female progeny, retain ownership of these animals through the feedlot phase and market these animals on a carcass grid. Traits included in the index are as follows: yearling weight, dry-matter intake, marbling, carcass weight, ribeye area and fat.
Combined Value ($C), expressed in dollars per head, which includes all traits that make up both $M and $B with the objective that commercial producers will replace 20% of their breeding females per year with replacement heifers retained within their own herd. The remaining cull heifer and steer progeny are then assumed to be sent to the feedlot where the producers retain ownership of those cattle and sell them on a quality-based carcass merit grid.
SIMMENTAL INDEXES
Terminal Index (TI), is the dollars per cow exposed under a terminal-sire scenario. TI evaluates sire for use on mature Angus cows with all offspring put on feed and sold grade and yield.
All-Purpose Index (API) evaluates sires for use on the entire cow herd (bred to both Angus first-calf heifers and mature 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.
GELBVIEH INDEXES
Total Maternal (TM) is an index that combines growth and milk information as a prediction of the weaning weight performance of calves from a sire’s daughters. As an index, this value is not reported with an accompanying accuracy. A greater TM value means a mother that returns comparatively higher weaning weights on her calves. TM Index = MK EPD + ½ WW EPD.
Feeder Profit Index (FPI™), is an economic selection index designed to aid producers in selecting sires whose progeny will perform in the feedlot and are sold on a grade and yield standpoint. Well ranking sires for FPI have higher marbling and carcass weight than their contemporaries. As a terminal index, little emphasis is put on maternal traits such as stayability and calving ease.
