trucking:

Load out available at the conclusion of the sale. We will be happy to assist you in finding the most reasonable trucking option available.

Guarantee:

During the first breeding season, if for any reason a purchased bull injures himself to where he is unable to service and settle a cow, we will provide either a satisfactory replacement, if one is available, or credit it in a future sale equal to the purchase price and less salvage value.

We define the first breeding season as the first 90 days following the day of turnout. Keep in mind this is not a mortality insurance policy. We suggest you contact an insurance representative to inquire about mortality insurance. We will replace and credit bulls when a licensed vet determines a bull to be a non-breeder within the first breeding season.

It is mandatory that you contact the seller immediately when an injury is discovered and within the first breeding season time frame.

terms & conditions:

All lots sell in agreement with the suggested guidelines of the American Simmental Association. For updated EPDs and information, visit www.simmental.org or Angus.org. Announcements made from the block and supplement sheet will take precedent over information printed in this catalog.

Welcome

On behalf of Stephens Beef Cattle, I gladly invite you to join us Saturday, March 22, 2025 for the 9th annual Stephens Genetic Advantage Bull Sale. Thank you to those that have believed in this program over the years. We can never thank you enough because without your support, we wouldn’t be where we are today. There’s no question that the cow-calf producers have the upper hand moving forward. Low cow numbers paired with high beef demand equals great times for our consumers! No matter what happens, good genetics will continue to shine through and drive premiums regardless of the market.

The outlook of the cattle business is bright and the excitement around bull and female sales is high. However, with the constant increase in input costs, we understand that you must invest in cattle that will produce. The set of bulls in this offering are performance oriented from a maternal base. They have been developed on a high roughage diet and grazed on fescue pasture. We have given close attention to feet, legs and testicular development to ensure longevity and fertility. Our bulls have also been genomically tested to provide you with a better gauge on EPDs, coat color and polled status. Overall, we feel confident these bulls will produce progeny that are functional in terms of structural soundness, longevity, calving ease, disposition, fertility, and pounds when they cross the scales. The set of females offered are out of cows that run deep in our program. They are raised on fescue pastures and bred to some of the best bulls that will without a doubt advance your maternal side.

Thank you for your trust and support of our program. We’re honored to work with producers like you who share our commitment to the cattle industry. We look forward to seeing you Saturday, March 22, 2025. If you have any questions or would like to view the bulls prior to the sale, feel free to reach out to Jeff or myself.

Herdsman, Stephens Beef Cattle

Beef Sire Selection Beef Sire Selection

Bull Investment Areas:

BALANCED TRAIT BULLS

CARCASS MERIT BULLS

BULLS HAVE BEEN

To determine eligibility please refer to the Kentucky Bull Assessment Tool available at http://afs.ca.uky.edu/beef/KBAT-buyers When determining eligibility it’s best to use the bull’s most recent EPDs, those can be found on the American Simmental Association website www.simmental.org

BULL BUYER GUIDE:

Definitions of Terms

Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs): EPDs are the most accurate and effective tool available for comparing genetic levels.

Back Fat (BF): Inches of backfat.

Birth Weight (BW): Pounds of birth weight.

Calving Ease (CE): Percent of unassisted births when used on heifers.

Carcass Weight (CW): Pounds of carcass weight.

Maternal Calving Ease (MCE): Percent of unassisted births in first- calving daughters.

Milk (MLK): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk.

Marbling (MRB): Marbling score.

Maternal Weaning Weight (MWW): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk and growth.

Ribeye Area (REA): Square inches of ribeye. Warner-Bratzler Shear Force (WBSF): Pounds of force required to shear a steak.

Stayability (STAY): Percent of daughters remaining in the cowherd at 6 years of age.

Terminal Index (TI): Dollars per cow exposed under a terminal-sire scenario.

Definitions of Terms Continued...

Weaning Weight (WW): Pounds of weaning weight.

Yearling Weight (YW): Pounds of yearling weight.

Yield Grade (YG): Yield grade score.

EXPLANATION OF HOW TO UTILIZE API & TI INDEXES:

First, determine which index to use; if you’re keeping replacements use API, if not, TI. Then, just as with EPDs, zero in on the unit difference between bulls. (As described to the left, index units are in dollars per cow exposed.) The difference can be used to determine how much a bull is worth compared to another. Or, put another way, how much you can pay for one bull compared to another. For example, when buying an all-purpose-type sire, you can quickly figure a bull scoring +100 for API is worth an extra $6,000 over a $50 bull if both are exposed to 30 cows over 4 years ($50 diff. x 30 hd. x 4 yr. = $6,000). A percentileranking chart is required to determine where a bull’s index value ranks him relative to other bulls in the breed. For more information, visit www.simmental.org.
