Welcome to the 12th Annual J&C Sale. It continues to be a great time to be in the cattle business. The possession of beef cows has been good and it appears that the future is going to be better. I don’t believe the opinion that the cow numbers are inflated; especially when one is out in the dry areas northwest of J&C Simmentals.

We at J&C are proud of the entire offering from purebreds to percentage. The motto at J&C is “the quality of the cattle is more important than the percentage”. You will find great cattle in all the percentages and all the purebreds. All bulls and open heifers are held for this sale. We moved the J&C sale date to February 3rd in an effort to get the sale bred heifers calving earlier in the season. The bred heifers will start to calve in mid February, which parallels the majority of calving programs. The bull ultrasound data will be taken just before the sale. This will allow for the best data for our customers. Actual weight and data will be available sale day on the supplement sheet by lot number.

J&C again offers free delivery on bulls. We will provide $100 cash per bull on those taken sale day or the day after. All females are the responsibility of the buyer. We encourage bulls returning to J&C to be insured. Please read details on delivery terms on the next page.

All of the families at J&C are depended upon to make the cattle operation work. Life is fragile so handle with care! I hope by sale date Jeanette’s knee will be completely healed because, as usual, she will be very busy with making sale day lunch a great one.

Come view the cattle in Fremont on Friday, February 2nd. All animals will be tagged and penned. Sale day, Saturday, February 3rd, will begin with coffee and rolls at 9:00 a.m. Lunch will be served at 11:00 a.m. and the sale will start at 12:30 p.m. Sale order will be bulls, donkeys, bred females and open heifers.

Call Bob at 800-804-9441 before the sale if you have any questions. On sale day call Bob at 402-720-0469 or Jay at 402-720-7596. We’ll be happy to visit with you.

Glossary...
1.Actual Weight... Taken 1-22-07 (the day the bulls were ultrasounded) by CUP Technician, Toby Muller, Adair, Iowa.
2.No Gain/Day test this year. Bulls come from too many sources and backgrounds (I.E.: different pastures conditions, some creep fed-some not, some cattle pushed for summer shows-some not, etc). We use WW & YW adjusted weights and EPDs for WW & YW.
3.REA... Ultra sound measurement of the rib eye area expressed in square inches at the 12th & 13th rib. Adjusted to 365 days of age.
4.Fat... Actual back fat measurement taken at the 12th & 13th rib by ultra sound on 1-22-07 rump fat adjusted by the ASA.
5.Marbling... Amount and distribution of intramuscular fat present in the rib eye at the 12th and 13th rib. Expressed as a percentage out of
100%.
6.Marbling Adjusted... Percents marbling of lean area measured and adjusted to 365 days of age. Normal range 2 to 5 percent.
7.Scrotal Measurement of Bulls... Will be take at semen check on January 26 and published by Lot number at sale on the sale order sheet. These will be actual measurements taken by Loren Vogler, Vogler Seen Center, Ashland, Neb.

9.Carcass EPDs CW on Each Lot... The hot carcass weight of a bull’s progeny. Expected progeny performance is reported in pounds an adjusted to a slaughter age of 475 days. The EPD predicts the difference in average carcass weight of a bull’s progeny compared to progeny of all other bulls evaluated. A positive value indicates heavier than average carcass weights while a negative value (-) indicates lower than average carcass weights.

Expected progeny performance is reported in percent and adjusted to a slaughter age of 475 days. The EPD predicts the difference in average carcass cutability with values great then zero indicating higher than average percentage yield in yield grade white a negative (-) indicates less than average percentage yield in yield grade.
11.Marbling Score on Each lot... A subjective evaluation of the amount of distribution of intramuscular fat. Degree of marbling is evaluated
in the ribeye muscle between the 12th and 13th rib and is a major factor in determining USDA quality grad. Expected progeny performance is reported in tenths of a marbling score and adjusted to a slaughter age of 475 days. The EPD value predicts the difference in average marbling score of a bull’s progeny compared to progeny of all other evaluated bulls. A positive value indicates higher than average marbling scores while a negative value (-) indicates lower than average marbling scores.
