Sponsored by Missouri Show-Me-Select Replacement Heifers, Inc., University of Missouri Extension, Missouri Cattlemen’s Association, MU College of Veterinary Medicine, Kingsville Livestock Auction, and Missouri Department of Agriculture. All heifers in the sale have met minimum standards for reproductive soundness, pelvic size, body condition and weight. A strict 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/birth weight EPDs. Projected calving dates were given with most heifers expected to calve from January to April. All heifers were screened for blemishes, muscle, frame, body condition score (BCS) and disposition by a screening committee consisting of official graders from the Missouri Department of Agriculture and USDA, then sorted into lots according to calving dates and similar body types.
An active crowd of buyers was on hand to view the 186 head of heifers that sold in 72 lots offered from 11 consignors. The average price per head was $2119.00, $351.00 per head more than the fall 2019 sale. 67% of the heifers were A.I. bred and the quality was deep all the way through the sale. The top selling lot sold for $2825.00 per head.
