Well folks, here we are again, wondering when the nation’s cowherd will finally begin to expand. All of the incentives for expansion are in place, but it’s just not happening. The key indicator for expansion is the number of heifers on feed, as a percentage of the total cattle on feed. Whenever that percentage drops below 36%, we are in an expansion. We have been at 37% or higher since 2019, and the most recent figure for 2024 is nearly 40%. The total number of cattle and calves in the U.S. is the smallest it’s been since 1951.
So what does this mean? This data tells us the expansion phase (when it does begin) will be slow and drawn out, because there aren’t enough females to increase the head count quickly. Meanwhile, demand for beef remains at an all-time high. These record high cattle prices are not going away any time soon.
We are very proud of the offering we’ve put together for you this fall. These 10 heavy service sires are ready to go to work on your operation as soon as they step off the trailer. The 58 bred heifers we have selected were chosen because their top shelf genetics were already present in our herd. If we had the space, we’d be keeping every one of them..
As always, we deeply appreciate your interest and faith in our program.
Welcome to the ranch.

BREEDING GUARANTEE
All females sell bred and safe in calf. If a bull becomes a non-breeder as a result of injury or disease within 12 months of purchase, J&N will provide you with a credit in our next sale equal to the bull’s purchase price less his salvage value. If a problem arises contact us before disposing of the bull. All claims must be verified by a veterinarian. Normal care needs to be exercised for any animal purchased and that bulls not be allowed to get too thin. Buyers of yearling bulls should not mix or use them with older bulls in order to reduce the risk of injury. Yearling bulls should be semen tested before using them the first time.
RETAINED INTEREST
Unless otherwise stated, we are selling full possession, full salvage value and full semen sale rights in all bulls. We are retaining a ¼ interest for our own herd use to allow us to continue to register calves out of these Sale bulls.

GENOMIC ENHANCED EPDs
Every animal selling in the this J&N Ranch sale has EPDs enhanced with DNA technology. We are investing in the latest technology available to provide you with the most accurate EPDs possible. This technology improves the accuracy of EPDs on a yearling bull, for example, as if he were an older bull with progeny.
These EPDs are based on a multi-breed analysis by IGS, the largest beef genetic evaluation in the world, combining performance records from over a dozen breed associations, including the American Black Hereford Association. The EPDs shown are distributed by the ABHA and were current at the time of publishing of this catalog.
An EPD is the difference in expected performance of future progeny of an individual, compared with expected performance of future progeny of an individual of average genetic merit. They are reported in units of measurement for each trait (e.g. lbs., cm, etc.) The data used in this analysis is based on up to 19 generations of J & N breeding and thousands of head of cattle measured over 45 years of performance testing for growth, maternal and carcass traits.
PRODUCTION EPDs
Calving Ease Direct (CE): Predict the average difference in ease with which a sire’s calves will be born when bred to first-calf heifers. Expressed as percentage of unassisted births with a higher value indicating greater calving ease.
Birth Weight EPD (BW): BW EPDs are expressed in pounds and predict the average difference that can be expected in an animal’s offspring when compared with another animal in the same genetic evaluation. Birth weight EPDs are primarily used as an indicator of calving ease, with the age and size of the females to be bred usually dictating how much birth weight can be tolerated.
Weaning Weight EPD (WW): EPDs are expressed in pounds and predict the average differences in weight that can be expected between the progeny of animals in the same genetic evaluation at 205 days of age. Weaning Weight EPDs do not account for differences in weaning weight that are due to milk.
Yearling Weight EPD (YW): EPDs are expressed in pounds and predict the average differences that can be expected between the progeny of animals at one year of age.
Docility EPD (DOC): Docility EPDs predict the percentage of an animal’s offspring that are expected to score favorably (1 or 2) on a five point scale when compared to the offspring of another animal. They are expressed as a percentage with higher values being favorable.
MATERNAL
EPDs
Maternal Calving Ease EPD (MCE): Predict the average ease with which a sire’s daughters will calve as first-calf heifers when compared to the daughters of another sire in the same evaluation. Expressed as percentage of unassisted births.
Maternal Milk EPD (MM): Milk EPDs are expressed as pounds of calf weaned by a bull’s daughters. They reflect the average differences in weaning weight that can be expected in grand progeny due to the milking ability of a bull’s daughters. Available feed resources will dictate the extent to which milking ability should be selected.
CARCASS EPDs
Marbling EPD (MAR): Predict the average difference in USDA Quality Grade in an animal’s progeny when compared to the progeny of another animal at a given age endpoint. Expressed in numerical marbling score where one point equals one USDA marbling score.
Backfat EPD (FAT): Estimate the average differences that are expected in external fat thickness at the 12th and 13th rib between progeny of different animals. Expressed in inches at a given age endpoint.
Ribeye Area EPD (REA): Predict the average difference in ribeye area in an animal’s progeny when compared to the progeny of another animal at a given age endpoint. Expressed in square inches.
SELECTION INDEXES
Though EPDs allow for the comparison of genetic levels for many economically important traits, they only provide a piece of the economic puzzle. That’s where indexes come in. Through rigorous mathematical computation, $ indexes blend EPDs and economics to estimate an animal’s overall impact on your bottom line. The same technology that led to the dramatic progress in swine, poultry and dairy genetics over the last several decades was used to develop the following $ indexes.
All Purpose Index (API): Evaluates sires for use on the entire cow herd (bred to both Angus first-calf heifers and mature Angus 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.
Terminal Index (TI): Evaluates sires for use on mature Angus cows with all offspring put on feed and sold grade and yield. Consequently, maternal traits such as milk, stayability, and maternal calving ease are not considered in this index.
Using API and TI, if you’re keeping replacements use API, if not use TI. If a bull has an API of 130 his offspring will generate $50 more than a bull with an API of 80. TI measures the increased value of offspring on feed. The higher the number, the more dollars paid when the are sold on a yield and grade basis.
