The Show-Me-Select Replacement Heifer Program’s southwestern Missouri fall sale is 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 21, at Joplin Regional Stockyards near Carthage.
“If you are thinking of rebuilding or adding to your cow herd, this sale will offer 275 high-quality spring-calving (late January to April) replacements to do so,” says Patrick Davis, University of Missouri Extension livestock field specialist.
MU Extension’s Show-Me-Select program educates cattle producers on strategies in management, reproduction and genetics to develop quality replacement heifers.
“This sale offers purebreed and crossbreed commercial heifers,” says Davis. Breeds that make up these heifers include Angus, Akaushi, Beefmaster, Gelbvieh, Hereford, Red Angus, Simmental, Ultrablack and composites of these breeds. Color patterns include black, black/whiteface, red and red/whiteface.
