STOCKTON, Mo. – “People are enjoying high cattle prices, and the 105th Southwest Missouri All Breeds Performance Tested Bull Sale was no different,” says Patrick Davis, University of Missouri Extension livestock field specialist. A total of 26 bulls sold for an average price of $5,458 per bull. This average was approximately $1,200 higher per bull than the fall 2024 sale average and more than $1,600 higher per bull than the spring 2024 sale average. The 23 Angus bulls sold for an average price of $5,530 per bull and the three Gelbvieh/Balancer bulls sold for an average of $4,900 per bull.

“New and old Angus bull consignors topped the sale,” says Davis. New consignor Segraves Angus of Mulberry Grove, Ill., had the top-selling bull at $11,000 that sold to Paradox Farms of Bolivar, Mo. Longtime consignor Blue Mound Angus of El Dorado Springs, Mo., had the second-highest-selling bull at $10,000 that sold to Martin Harman of Walnut Grove, Mo.

“Witt Cattle of Eldorado Springs, Mo., had the three Gelbvieh/Balancer consignments,” says Davis. The consignments sold for an average price of $4,900 per bull with a range of $4,800 to $5,000 per bull.
