All Heifers in the sale have met minimum standards for reproductive
soundness, pelvic size, body condition and weight. They have also
undergone a comprehensive health program, and were guaranteed bred

calving dates were given for all lots with all heifers expected to
calve from January thru the end of April, with the majority due in
February. The offering was screened for blemishes, muscle, frame,
body condition score (BCS), and disposition by a final screening
committee, comprised of official graders from the Missouri Dept of
Agriculture and USDA, then sorted into lots according to calving
