 TO:  Prospective Buyers and Guests:

             Welcome to the tenth Southeast Missouri SHOW-ME-SELECT Fall Calving Replacement Heifer Sale. Our first Fall Sale averaged $1050 and they have ranged from $1149 to $1515 on the average over the years.  We have 154 heifers in the sale which include 93 A.I. bred to leading Angus and Simmental sires.  There are 15 to 20 heifers bred to B/R New Frontier 095 and that many to SAF Connection, 20 to Morgans Direction and several to Objective and Bextor.   

            There are 36 TIER II heifers in the Sale which means the heifer herself is sired by a high accuracy sire.  There are 119 Black, 27 BWF, 2 Red and 6 White heifers in the Sale. 

            All of these heifers were born and raised on the farms and have known sires and birthdates.  They were weighed, pelvic checked in the Fall of 2008.  Most were synchronized and A.I. bred and there are 93 heifers that are AI bred selling. 

            The genetics are tremendous on this set of heifers with several stacked generations for calving and growth and carcass traits.  Several consignors feed their cattle and get top premiums at US Premium Beef. 

            Consignors are listed in alphabetical order so the sale order will be different and drawn randomly.  The catalog has footnotes and all the sire information. 

            Thanks for attending the Sale, or just looking at the catalog.  If you have questions feel free to call me at 573-243-3581, call one of the consignors, or look at our website: semobeef.com. 

Sincerely,
