The 81st Southwest Missouri Cattle Improvement Association Bull Sale saw a strong demand March 25 for the 35 bulls that sold. The overall average was $3137 up $58 per head from the November 2012 average.
“As has been the trend, bulls with a combination of outstanding expected progeny differences (EPDs) and an attractive, sound appearance sparked the most interest. Four bulls sold for $5000 or more,” said Eldon Cole, livestock specialist with University of Missouri Extension.
The 26 Angus bulls made a strong showing with a $3421 average. They were topped at $5300 by a bull consigned by Truman L. Wiles, Willow Springs who combined outstanding calving ease, weaning weight and yearling weight EPDs, along with impressive $Beef values. The successful bidder was Brackenridge Brothers, Eldorado Springs, a consistent repeat buyer.
Other Angus bulls topping the $5000 mark were consigned by Clearwater Farm, James Pipkin, Springfield and Naylor’s Angus, Buffalo had two.
One Polled Hereford bull sold for $3300. The seller was a young 4-H member, Aiden Kleinman, Wentworth. The buyer was Tom Studer, Reeds Spring.
One Charolais bull averaged $2400. Wright Charolais, Mona Wright, Mt. Vernon consigned him. He sold to Jason Choate, Carthage.
The Simmental portion of the sale was represented by 6 head that combined purebreds and some SimAngus composites. They averaged $2233 with a top of $2750 on a consignment from S-4 Farms, Mike and Connie Stewart, Marshfield. The three-fourths Angus and one-quarter Simmental was bought by Kiney Stegner, Rogersville.
One LimFlex bull brought $1800. The buyer was Steven Dodson, Walnut Grove and Brent Boyce, Marshfield was the consignor.
