Show-Me-Select (Palmyra, MO)
Palmyra, MO
Market information provided by USDA
07 JUN '25
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 including parasite control and 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. Expectations were high as the cattle market is currently setting new record high prices every week on both fats and feeders. The difficult question to answer from a breeding stock investment is how many years will the good times last? Feed is in good shape around the area with plenty of spring rain for the pasture and potential hay crop. A good crowd was on hand with active bidding and solid prices, but no runaway stick-out tops. The sale averaged 3926.00 per head on 58 lots. This was 744.00 per head higher than last spring's average.
