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 and heifers have 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 late August thru October.  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.

   With only 120 head offered, this was one of the lightest offerings for a 
Show-Me-Select sale here in Northeast Missouri, and the crowd at sale time was 
on the thin side as well.  However the bidding was pretty active, including 
some internet sales, and by the end prices had exceeded most peoples pre-sale 
expectations.  Cattlemen that have just completed selling their 2025 calf crop 
for some fantastic dollars per head seemed willing to reinvest a little of that 
money in some young quality replacement stock.  The sale average was 5457.00 
per head.  This was up 912.00 from the December sale and 1531.00 higher than 
the late spring sale from a year ago.
