Sponsored by Missouri Show-Me-Select Replacement Heifers, Inc., Division of Animal Sciences, Southwest Missouri Beef Cattle Improvement Association in cooperation with University Extension, Commercial Agriculture Program, MU College of Veterinary Medicine, Missouri Cattlemen's Association and the Missouri Department of Agriculture.

All heifers in the sale had met minimum standards for reproductive soundness, pelvic size, body condition and weight. A strict immunization program had been followed including Brucellosis calf-hood vaccination and tested negative for PI BVD. Heifers were bred to bulls meeting strict calving ease or birth weight EPDs. Many were synchronized and artificially bred. Projected calving dates were given and all heifers preg checked within 30 days of the sale. The offering was screened for blemishes, muscle, frame, body condition score, and disposition by a screening committee, consisting of official graders from the Missouri Dept of Agriculture and USDA, then sorted into lots according to calving dates and similar body types. There were 48 percent of the heifers artificially bred, and 52 percent were naturally bred. Heifers in the offering were in the 1st and 2nd stage of pregnancy. Sale average for the 116 head was 1738.00 which was 596.00 per head less than the December 2018 sale. The AI bred heifers received a premium of 164.00 per head over the natural bred heifers. The top selling lots brought 2300.00 per head.
