Persons interested in learning more about the popular Show-Me-Select beef heifer development program are invited to a meeting starting at 7 p.m., Sept. 6 in the University of Missouri Extension Center conference room in the basement of the Lawrence County Courthouse on the square of Mt. Vernon.
The meeting is especially for those with heifers currently in the Show-Me-Select program that will be sold in the Nov. 16 sale of bred heifers at Joplin Regional Stockyards, Carthage. Details of that sale will be discussed at the meeting. Sellers will also draw numbers to determine their sale order position.
Dr. Jordan Thomas, newly hired MU Extension beef specialist from Columbia will be in attendance and outline some of his program interests in the future for the SMS program.
“Anyone is welcome to attend even if they don’t have heifers in the next sale,” said Eldon Cole, field specialist in livestock with MU Extension. “There’s always good discussion about what’s involved and how it can be made better.”
A review of the calving survey from buyers of heifers in the November, 2017 sale will be given.
For more information, contact any of the MU Extension livestock field specialists in southwest Missouri: Eldon Cole in Lawrence County, (417) 466-3102.
