Welcome Beef Producers to B/F Cattle Company!

Thank you for your interest in our family’s cattle. We whole heartedly believe that this is a great time to be in the beef business and that raising beef is a great way to work together as a family. In the Foster household, we understand the hard work it takes as cattle producers to stay ahead of the curve without losing focus, and to make a profit doing what we love. By producing the most efficient and profitable cow herd possible, using the resources that our environment provides, B/F Cattle Co. can help you reach your goals too. Our entire herd carries the infamous calving ease and carcass quality of Angus and the great maternal traits along with exceptional weaning growth and extra muscling of Gelbvieh. Our Balancers® are multi generational, guaranteeing a much more consistent calf crop. And they get it done on Missouri’s fescue pastures without pampering! All of our bulls are born and raised on pasture. After weaning they are supplemented with a commodity pellet at a rate of 6 to 10 lbs. depending on other available forage. B/F bulls are some of the most athletic, easy keeping bulls that you will find and ready to go to work! We grow them slower than most, and no bulls are sold before they are 18 months of age so that they will breed more cows every year for more total years of production. When you put a B/F bull to work in your herd, you’ll see the difference he makes.

Thank You for Attending Our Sale The Fosters

SALE DAY PROCEDURE:

This is not your typical auction. Our intent is to keep it simple and straight forward.

The bulls sell in catalog order. As each lot is presented, a video of the bull will be shown and a base price announced. You have the option to express your interest at that price by holding up your buyer’s number. Should more than one customer raise his card, the price will be raised in hundred dollar increments until only one bidder is left with his card in the air. In the event of a tie bid, the lowest buyer number gets the bull. No bells and whistles, just business between friends.

This bull has an unmatchable set of numbers. He started at 80 lbs., weaned with a 143 Weaning Ratio and 133 Yearling Ratio. His EPD’s back up all this growth with WW in the top 1% / YW top 1% / MCE top 10% / CW top 2% / MB top 4% / FPI top 1% of every Balancer® bull in the country! His CED at 17, is well above Show-Me-Select standards, yet with an 80 pound actual BW, I would not recommend using on virgin heifers.

Maternally, he is out of one of the best Free Agent daughters in the country! She is very broody and easy fleshing. He is sired

by SAV Final Answer who has been extremely popular throughout the nation, however, I am not convinced his daughters are the best fit for fescue country.

Another ET brother to Lot #1. This bull is in the top 10% for MB and top 10% for FPI. He had an 82 lb.

BW, which would keep me from using him on heifers despite his 18 CED.

This bull posted a 111 Weaning Ratio and a 113 Yearling Ratio. His MB is in the top 10% of all Balancers®. His dam is very slick haired, easy fleshing and has a perfect udder. She has maintained a 355 day calving interval and averaged Weaning Ratio of 111 and Yearling Ratio of 114. His sire is out of a Dam of Distinction cow.

Brett’s “no bull” guarantee “I won’t sugar coat anything. It might surprise you to hear me be completely honest on each of these lots, but that’s how I do business.

I want to sell you a bull you can live with and one you’ll be happy to tell your neighbor you bought from Brett Foster.”

This bull is in the top 15% for MB. Expect good growth in a little more frame than most of our bulls. His dam is super fertile. She is in a group of spring calvers that I have been putting the bulls in early to see if they will move forward to become fall calvers. In three breeding seasons she has gone from calving 02/10/14 to 12/26/14 to 11/01/15 to 09/06/16. I told you she was fertile!

Brett’s “no bull” guarantee “Don’t be fooled by operations that haul their bulls into Missouri and feed them ‘on grass.’

There has simply been NO environmental selection pressure for thriving on fescue placed upon the dams or sires of those operation’s bulls.”

www.bfcattleco.com

Getting Familiar with Gelbvieh & Balancer® EPDs EPD Definitions: Listed below are

the definitions of American Gelbvieh Associations EPDs and the units in which they are published. the EPDs with an asterisk (*) next to the name are available to members only.

Maternal traits:

Calving Ease Direct (CED): Percent of unassisted births of a bull’s calves when he is used on heifers. A higher number is favorable, meaning better calving ease. This EPD can be vital to a rancher looking to decrease the amount of calves pulled in his herd.

Milk (MK): The genetic ability of a sire’s daughters to produce milk expressed in pounds of weaning weight.

Calving Ease Maternal (CEM): Represented as percent of unassisted births in a sire’s firstcalving daughters. A higher number represents more favorable calving ease. This EPD is important to a rancher’s bottom line because it predicts which animals produce daughters with a genetic pre-dispostion to calve unassisted as heifers.

Heifer Pregnancy (HP): Predicts the probability that a bull’s daughters will become pregnant as first-calf heifers in a regular breeding season, expressed as a percent. A higher value of this EPD is favorable, meaning that a higer percentage of a sire’s daughters get pregnant as first calf heifers compared to other sires in his contemporary group.

30-month Pregnancy (PG30): Predicts the probability that a bull’s daughters will become pregnant and calve at three years of age, given that they calved as first-calf heifers. This EPD is expressed as a percent, again, with a higher number being more favorable meaning a higher percentage of a sire’s daughters will calve at three years of age, given they calved as first-calf heifers.

Stayability (ST): Predicts the genetic difference, in terms of percent probability, that a bull’s daughters will stay productive within a herd to at least six years of age. The stayability EPD is one of the best measures currently available to compare a bull’s ability to produce females with reproductive longevity.

Growth traits: Birth Weight (BW): Predicts the difference, in pounds, for birth weight of the calf.

Weaning Weight (WW): Predicts the difference, in pounds, for weaning weight (adjusted to age of dam and a standard 205 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to weaning.

Yearling Weight (YW): Predicts the difference, in pounds, for yearling weight (adjusted to a standard 365 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to yearling. *Mature Weight EPD (MW): Predicts the average difference in pounds of mature weight of a sire’s progeny compared to their contemporaries.

Carcass traits: Yield Grade (YG): Differences in yield grade score, hich is a predictor of percent retail product. Smaller values suggest that progeny will have a better lean to fat ratio.

Carcass Weight (CW): Difference in pounds of hot carcass weight, adjusted to an industry standard age endpoint.

Ribeye Area (REA): Differences in ribeye area in inches between the 12th and 13th rib.

Greater ribeye areas are preferable.

Marbling (MB): Predicts the differences in the degree of marbling within the ribeye as expressed in marbling score units. Greater marbling numbers are preferable and are an indicator of higher carcass quality grades.

Fat (FT): Differences for fat thickness, in inches, for a carcass over the 12th rib, smaller numbers of fat thickness are preferable as excess fat can be detrimental to yield grade.

Efficiency traits: Dry Matter intake (DMI): Represents the average daily dry matter intake per day consumed in pounds. A negative or lesser value is more favorable. For example, Bull A has a DMI EPD of .15 and Bull B has a DMI EPD of -.20, so the progeny of Bull B consume, on average, .35 pound less dry matter per day than progeny from Bull A.

*Average Daily Gain (ADG): Difference in average daily gain in pounds based on an animal’s performance during a feed intake test period. *Residual Feed intake (RFI): Defined as the difference between an animal’s actual daily feed intake and its predicted daily intake based on growth rate and body size. Animals with a positive RFI value are deemed more inefficient because they consume more than expected while animals with a negative RFI value are considered more efficient because they consume less than expected.

Total Maternal (TM): 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): An economic selection index designed to aid producers in selecting sires whose progeny will perform in the feedlot and are sold on grade and yield.

Well ranking sires for FPI have higher MB and CW than their contemporaries. As a terminal index, little emphasis is put on maternal traits such as ST and CE. Developmental Duplication (DD): is a simply inherited recessive genetic condition that can sometimes cause animals to be born with an extra limb or part of an extra limb.

This abnormality has incomplete penetrance meaning even a homozygous recessive animal, DD affected, may not express the condition.

However a DDA animal will pass on the recessive allele to every one of its offspring.

Gelbvieh% (BA#%): is the percentage Gelbvieh of the offspring that was contributed equally by the parents rounded down to the one-eighth.
