Also in this year’s sale, all but 2 registered animals in the offering qualify for the Targeting the Brand Logo signifying carcass excellence. We are continually trying do our best for your success and “Focus on the Future!”

This year we will be offering you 2 of our top yearling heifers. These are stylish, quality females that have the power and function to change any herd! Both female lots in this sale will also come with 10 FREE Units of Semen from our ORIgen feature sire, HCC Home Run 7307 if females are taken home within 10 days of the sale. At the end of the sale, we’ll also be offering 2packages of 10 units of HCC Home Run 7307 semen as Lot #5x. He has displayed his power and style with his offspring showing exceptional growth and genomic potential while producing outstanding daughters! His son sells as Lot #5 and grandson as Lot #2!

We will again be offering both a live and internet auction, so you can either bid in person at the farm, over the phone, or live on the internet through DVAuction.

We will continue our exciting sale finale by giving away lots of great PRIZES & DRAWINGS for buyers and attendees, from our generous sponsors!

AMERICAN ANGUS ASSOCIATION SELECTION TOOLS

Maternal Milk (Milk), is a predictor of a sire’s genetic merit for milk and mothering ability 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.

Mature Weight (MW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of the difference in mature weight of daughters of a sire compared to the daughters of other sires.

Mature Height (MH), expressed in inches, is a predictor of the difference in mature height of a sire’s daughters compared to daughters of other sires.

Expected Progeny Difference (EPD), is the prediction of how future progeny of each animal are expected to perform relative to the progeny of other animals listed in the database. EPDs are expressed in units of measure for the trait, plus or minus.

Accuracy (ACC), is the reliability that can be placed on the EPD. An accuracy of close to 1.0 indicates higher reliability. Accuracy is impacted whether the animal has a genotype and the number of progeny and ancestral records included in the analysis.

MANAGEMENT Calving Ease Direct (CED), is expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted Docility (DOC), is expressed as a difference in yearling cattle temperament, with births, with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in first-calf heifers. It a higher value indicating more favorable docility in a sire’s offspring compared to predicts the average difference in ease with which a sire’s calves will be born when another sire. he is bred to first-calf heifers.

Claw Set (Claw), is expressed in units of claw-set score, a lower EPD is more Birth Weight (BW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit favorable, indicating a sire will produce progeny with more symmetrical, even and birth weight to his progeny compared to that of other sires. appropriately spaced toes.

Weaning Weight (WW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to Foot Angle (Angle), is expressed in units of foot-angle score, a lower EPD is more transmit weaning growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires. favorable, indicating a sire will produce progeny with an angle closer to 45 degrees Residual Average Daily Gain (RADG), feed efficiency expressed in pounds per at the pastern and appropriate toe length and heel depth. day, is a predictor of a sire’s genetic ability for postweaning gain in future progeny Pulmonary arterial pressure EPD (PAP), is expressed in millimeters of Mercury compared to that of other sires, given a constant amount of feed consumed. (mmHg), with a lower EPD being more favorable indicating a sire should produce Yearling Weight (YW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to progeny with a lower PAP score to decrease the risk of progeny contracting high transmit yearling growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires. altitude disease most commonly experienced at 5,500 ft or greater in elevation.

Yearling Height (YH), is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit yearling height, expressed in inches, compared to the that of other sires.

CARCASS Scrotal Circumference (SC), expressed in centimeters, is a predictor of the Carcass Weight (CW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of the differences in hot difference in transmitting ability for scrotal size compared to that of other sires. carcass weight of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.

Marbling (Marb), is expressed as a fraction of the difference in USDA marbling MATERNAL score of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.

Heifer Pregnancy (HP), is a selection tool to increase the probability or chance of Ribeye Area (RE), expressed in square inches, is a predictor of the difference in a sire’s daughters becoming pregnant as first–calf heifers during a normal breeding ribeye area of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires. season. A higher EPD is more favorable.

Fat Thickness (Fat), expressed in inches, is a predictor of the differences in Calving Ease Maternal (CEM), is expressed as a difference in percentage of external fat thickness at the 12th rib (as measured between the 12th and 13th ribs) of unassisted births, with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in first-calf a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires. 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.

$VALUE INDEXES $Value Indexes, reported in dollars per head, are multi-trait economic selection indexes where a higher values suggest more profit when comparing two individuals.

Maternal Weaned Calf Value ($M), expressed in dollars per head, predicts profitability differences in progeny from conception to weaning by decreasing mature cow size and improving docility, foot structure and fertility while maintaining weaning weights consistent with current production.

Weaned Calf Value ($W), expressed in dollars per head, provides the expected difference in future progeny preweaning performance from birth to weaning.

Cow Energy Value ($EN), is expressed in dollar savings per cow each year due to lower cow maintenance energy requirements (due to lactation and body size) with a larger number being more favorable.

Feedlot Value ($F), expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for postweaning feedlot merit (growth and feed efficiency) compared to progeny of other sires assuming producers retain ownership of cattle and sell on a carcass weight basis.

Grid Value ($G), expressed in dollars per carcass, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for carcass grid merit, including quality and yield grade attributes, compared to progeny of other sires.

Beef Value ($B), expressed in dollars per carcass, represents the expected average differences in the progeny postweaning performance and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires. This index assumes commercial producers wean all male and female progeny, retain ownership of these animals through the feedlot and sell on a carcass merit grid.

Combined Value ($C), an index, expressed in dollars per head, 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.

American Angus Association $Value Indexes

Maternal Weaned Calf Value ($M), an index expressed in dollars per head, predicts profitability differences in progeny due to genetics from conception to weaning. $M is built off of a self-replacing herd model where commercial cattlemen replace 25% of their breeding females in the first generation and 20% in subsequent generations. Remaining cull females and all male progeny are sold as feeder calves. Increased selection pressure on $M aims to decrease overall mature cow size and improve foot structure and fertility while maintaining weaning weights consistent with today’s production.

Weaned Calf Value ($W), an index expressed in dollars per head, provides the expected difference in future progeny preweaning performance from birth to weaning. $W assumes that producers retain 20% of their female progeny for replacements and sell the rest of their cull female and male progeny as feeder calves. Over time, increased selection pressure on $W will increase weaning and maternal milk traits while also continuing to increase mature cow size.

Feedlot Value ($F), an index expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for postweaning merit compared to progeny of other sires. The underlying objective assumes commercial producers will retain ownership of cattle through the feedlot phase and sell fed cattle on a carcass weight basis with no considerations of premiums or discounts for quality and yield grade.

EPDS DIRECTLY INCORPORATED INTO EACH $VALUE Grid Value ($G), an index expressed in dollars per carcass, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for carcass grid merit, including quality and yield grade attributes, compared to progeny of other sires.

Dollar value indexes, or $Values, are a tool used to select for several traits at once based on a specific breeding objective. An economic index approach takes into account genetic and economic values as well as the relationships between traits to select for profit.

Beef Value ($B), an index expressed in dollars per carcass, facilitates simultaneous multi-trait genetic selection for feedlot and carcass merit. $B represents the expected average differences in the progeny post-weaning performance and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires. This 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 quality-based carcass grid.

Combined Value ($C), an index expressed in dollars per head, 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 eventually sell them on a quality-based carcass merit grid.
