Sponsored by Missouri Show-Me-Select Replacement Heifers, Inc., University of 
Missouri Extension, Missouri Cattlemen's Association, MU College of Veterinary 
Medicine, Missouri Livestock Market Association, Kirksville Livestock LLC, 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 early February thru mid 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.

   A good crowd was on hand to see the 200 heifers that sold in 59 lots.  Many 
of the consignors were long time participants of the Show-Me-Select Heifer 
Program and the quality and condition of the offering was excellent.  Black 
tends to be the dominate color for replacement stock in North Missouri, but the 
bidding was most active on the Red Angus and Red Angus cross cattle, and for 
the second year in a row it was a couple packages of red heifers that were the 
sale toppers.    Sale average for the 200 head was 4154.00 per head, which was 
952.00 per head Higher than the December 2024 sale.
