General Sale Information EPDs and Supplemental Information All cattle data, EPDs and supplemental information were correct when the sale catalog was published.

Additional information will be provided as a supplement on www.ridgefieldfarm.net by April 11, and in print on sale day.

Braunvieh EPDs are calculated using the Multibreed Evaluation Model with Angus as the standard base.

Breed Average EPDs Breed averages listed below for a comparison of individual sale animal EPDs to breed at large EPDs.

Angus BW +1.7

WW +47

YW +84

Milk +23

Braunvieh BW +2.82

WW +41.44

YW Milk +65.57 +34.75

Residual Feed Intake (RFI) Ridgefield Farm utilizes a GrowSafe System to obtain actual feed intake data across a 70-day test period. RFI is the difference between actual intake and expected intake (calculated based upon the age, size, gain and sex of a given animal utilizing academically accepted metabolic formulas).

Cattle consuming less than expected feed are given negative values and those consuming more than expected are given positive values. The RFI data is then used in connection with the current cost of feed to calculate the actual increase or decrease in the cost of feed for each animal during the testing period.

In studies conducted by the University of West Virginia and the University of Missouri, heifers were retained from low RFI bulls for two successive generations. Both studies found that these low RFI sired females provided a significant opportunity to increase stocking rates from 12% in lactating cows to 20% for dry ones. Imagine being able to increase your calf crop by a minimum of 12% from the same land. Perhaps the best news is that long term studies have found no antagonisms to other traits.

Under our Bull Deal, we typically offer a premium of at least 6¢ per pound more than markets for similar cattle.

Terms & Conditions Terms of the sale are cash or check with proper identification; settlement must be made sale day and/or before sale cattle are released to buyers. Every lot will be sold to the highest bidder, with the auctioneer settling any bidding disputes.

Guarantees The cattle sold in this sale are guaranteed to be free of genetic defects as outlined in the Braunvieh Association of America and the American Angus Association Approved Sale Rules and Regulations, or duly noted by lot number.

Registrations All cattle in the sale are registered, unless listed as commercial.

A Certificate of Registry and Transfer will be provided for every registered animal at no cost to the buyer.

Cattle Health The Ridgefield Farm herd is a Certified Level 1 Johne’s free herd. All bulls have tested negative for BVD-PI and are virgins.

They have passed breeding soundness exams, including semen tests. Health certification for interstate travel will be available on all lots immediately following the sale.

Insurance Livestock Mortality Insurance will be available at the sale clerk’s desk.

Shipping We will assist you with delivery of your purchases in a timely and cost effective manner. Ridgefield will hold sale purchases free of charge for a maximum of 14 days after the sale, to be picked up at the farm.
