Coordinated by: Northeast Missouri Beef Cattle Improvement Association in cooperation with Missouri Show-Me-Select Heifers, Inc, University of Missouri Extension, MU College of Veterinary Medicine, Missouri Cattlemen's Association, F & T Livestock Market in Palmyra, and Missouri Department of Agriculture.
All heifers in the sale have met minimum standards for reproductive soundness, pelvic size, body condition and weight. A comprehensive immunization program has been followed including Brucellosis calf-hood vaccination and tested negative for BVD-PI. Heifers were bred to bulls meeting strict calving ease requirements with many synchronized and artificially bred. Projected calving dates were given for all lots with the heifers expected to calve from mid-January thru April, with the majority due in February and March. The offering was screened for blemishes, muscle thickness, frame, body condition score (BCS), and disposition by a final screening committee comprised of official graders from the Missouri Department of Agriculture and USDA, then sorted into lots according to calving dates and body type similarity.
A near capacity crowd was on hand for the final Missouri Show-Me-Select sale of 2019. Demand was very good with the arena full of smiles and laughter as the auction came to a close and the announcement that the sale average had topped the magical 2000.00 mark. 74 lots sold for an average of 2017.00 per head which was 137.00 per head higher than last years fall average.
