On behalf of my family and crew, I want to thank you for taking an interest in our program. I’m very pleased to present the largest selection of Black Hereford bulls in the history of the breed. We think this is the deepest set of bulls we’ve ever developed, and believe they will add revenue to your operation. Cattle markets remain high, with black baldy steers and heifers topping the sale barns across the nation. The best way to produce those cattle is by using a bull with a JN Balder prefix. We truly feel that these bulls represent the very best the breed has to offer. Below are some numbers to support that. As always, thank you for your confidence in our program. We are glad you’re here.

BLACK HEREFORDS EPDS EXPLAINED:

CARCASS EPDs:

The EPDs in this catalog were provided by the American Black Hereford Association, and were current at the time of compilation. The ABHA now has their EPD calculations done by IGS, the largest beef genetic evaluation system in the world, combining performance records from 20 million animals and nearly 20 different cattle organizations including the ABHA.

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.

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 20 generations of J & N breeding and thousands of head of cattle measured over 45 years of performance testing for growth, maternal and carcass traits.

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

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.

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.

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 (M): 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.

• We really like the look of this homozygous polled yearling. He has tons of eye appeal, built long and powerful. He ranks in the top 15% of the breed or better for 6 traits, including the top 10% for API and the top 15% for TI. This is going to be one to watch.

• This homozygous black, homozygous polled yearling is a full brother to the Lot 7 bull. He has lots of eye appeal, standing tall up front, and following it up with plenty of mass. He ranks in the top 25% of the breed for 6 traits, including the top 15% for YW, Marbling, API, and TI. It is really exciting to see this H382 ET cow raise such high-quality bulls in back-to-back years. She is special.

• Here we have a homozygous black, homozygous polled yearling out of a first calf heifer we are excited about. This bull combines excellent growth and carcass traits about as well as anything in this sire group. It’s easy to see why he ranks in the top 10% of the breed for both API and TI.

• Lot 14 is well rounded across his EPD profile. His Dam brings size, frame, and feed efficiency to the pairing, which will yield larger, but efficient, calves out of this bull. He is homozygous black and homozygous polled.

• This yearling bull really impressed us with a massive 115 weaning weight ratio, coming off one of the best young cows in our herd, J004, who also raised Lot 70. This bull is in the top 35% of the breed for 10 out of the 12 traits shown here, and the top 15% in 8 out of 12. He has a beautiful stride, excellent curve to his ribs, and a high tail set. He’s well on his way to being an absolute stud. February 14, 2026

• This homozygous polled yearling is a super easy calver, ranking in the top 3% of the breed for CE, and the top 4% for BW, MCE, and API. He is also in the top 10% for Marbling, which means his calves will have a greater chance of grading Prime. Starting with a live calf and ending with added value are reasons why his All-Purpose Index is so high – these traits are extremely important to the profitability of your operation.

• Starting off this group of 714H sons is Lot 28. His EPD profile is solid across the board, ranking in the top half of the breed for 9 traits. Additionally, he is homozygous polled, eliminating the work of dehorning at weaning.

• The Dam of lot 30 is the #1 calving ease female in the breed, with the lowest BW EPD. We chose to combine her calving ease performance with the impressive growth and carcass traits of 714H. The result is the best calving ease 714H son we’ve ever produced, with an API in the top 4% of the breed. In the pen, he displays that calving ease with his moderate frame, plus he is homozygous polled.

• Tremendous growth comes with this two year old bull, who has a yearling weight EPD in the top 10% of the breed. It’s easy to see why when you look through his pedigree, which is loaded with power, including the 805H bull we raised, who is one of the top growth bulls in the breed.

He also had the largest ribeye area of his contemporaries, with a ratio of 128! His EPD profile supports the performance. He is in the top 15% of the breed for CE, the top 10% for WW and Ribeye, and the top 4% for YW. Lay eyes on him, and you’re really impressed with the pure mass, and how deep he is from front to back.

• Starting off the 842H sire group is Lot 74, who is homozygous black. The dam of this bull, 1929, died this summer from a lightning strike a few weeks before weaning. So, this is her final calf. She was one heck of a tough cow, and one of our favorites, with her calves averaging better than a 102 ratio at weaning, and better still for carcass traits. This bull has shaken off the stress of losing his momma and recovered nicely. He’s got the modest frame size of his Dam, with a long middle, and a strong, flat top.

• This 842H son embodies everything we loved about his sire. He has moderate birthweights, with good growth and excellent carcass traits. He’s long bodied with great flexibility in his hips. This homozygous black yearling is in the top 25% of the breed for TI, the top 20% for MCE and Marbling, and the top 15% for API. His Dam’s calves average better than a 107 ratio at weaning and yearling.

• Lot 106 was raised as a bottle calf by Hunter, and then reincorporated with his classmates after weaning. His mother got out of her pasture and was hit by a train not long after he was born. He has done really well, and has one of the top calving ease EPD profiles in the sale, along with an All-Purpose Index in the top 10% of the breed. He is homozygous black and homozygous polled, and is a really attractive package with a very docile temperament.

Fortunately, we were able to find Trademark, who maintains his sire’s incredible, outlier carcass traits, and helped bring down the birthweight. He ranks in the top 20% or better of the Red Hereford breed for 6 traits, plus all 3 indexes. He is a game changer, and we are excited to turn his genetics black.

BLACK HEREFORD vs ANGUS HEAD-TO-HEAD COMPARISON

We purchased these two sets of yearling steers in the Spring of 2022. They were turned out on grass at our Flint Hills ranch. We shipped them off grass in the Fall of 2022 directly to the feedlot. They were fed in adjacent pens exactly the same rations and sold on the U.S. Premium Beef grid in February 2023. The Black Hereford steers were purchased from a customer who has been using our bulls for the last 11 years. The Angus steers were off a reputation Angus herd and were also bred alike.
