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 the middle of August to the middle of November. 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.
151 heifers sold in 40 lots. The average price per head was $1713.00, $55.00 lower than the fall sale as there was not a reported sale last spring. 65% of the heifers were AI bred and averaged $114 more per head than the naturally bred heifers. The top selling lot brought $1960.00 per head.
