(From City of Joplin)
The Kansas City Southern’s Holiday Express train is coming to Joplin on Monday, December 15. The six-car train will bring Santa Claus for a visit with kids, and will pull into the Joplin Union Depot, 201 North Main Street, around 4 p.m. They will open to the public shortly after their arrival, and remain open until 8:30 p.m. or until Santa has seen all the children attending this event.
The Holiday Express is complete with cheerful displays, lights and music. Children can climb aboard the train, visit with Santa and receive a bag of seasonal goodies. This event is free and open to the public. Additionally, KCS will make a donation to the local Salvation Army during their visit.
To access the Union Depot, the public should enter from “B” and North Main Street.
According to Kansas City Southern’s website, the Holiday Express train is led by KCS’ Southern Belle business train, and includes a smiling tank car “Rudy”; a flatcar carrying Santa’s sleigh, reindeer and a miniature village; a ginger bread boxcar; the elves’ workshop; the reindeer stable; and a little red caboose.
The Holiday Express was created in 2001 after volunteers dedicated over 8,000 hours to the rigorous transformation of the retired rail cars. Festive music and lights complete the package.
The Holiday Express train was built on the tradition of a Santa Train, which ran on a railroad purchased by KCS in 1997. The former Santa Train made stops in small towns from East St. Louis, Ill. to Blue Springs, Mo. In 2000, KCS employees noticed that the Santa Train was the only Christmas some kids had, and that some did not even have essential items like coats, hats and gloves. KCS employees were so touched that they committed to elevating the project to the experience that communities throughout KCS' U.S. service area enjoy today.

Heifer sale at Joplin Regional Stockyards brings in $1.5 million
(From University of Missouri Extension)
Joplin Regional Stockyards was packed to the brim with folks anxious to see and bid on the 521 Show-Me-Select, bred heifers offered for sale on Nov. 21.
After only 2 hours and 10 minutes, the heifers were sold by auctioneer, Jackie Moore for an average of $2889.
"When you do the math, the sale total was $1,505,150. This represents quite an added value for the 10 or 12 months during which the heifers were being developed under the SMS requirements," said Eldon Cole, livestock specialist with University of Missouri Extension.
The heifers in this sale were valued at around $855 per head one year ago as feeder heifers. The evening's top heifers brought $3700.
John Wheeler, Marionville had two groups totaling 14 head sell for that amount. The buyers were Gray Oaks Ranch, Wagoner, OK and Son Wilmoth, Mt. Vernon. The heifers were black baldies and black mottled faced and were carrying the artificial insemination service of an Angus, KCF Bennett Absolute. Wheeler's 44 heifers topped the overall average at $3417.
The second high average for the night went to Bart Renkoski, Purdy. Those eight heifers sold for $3219 and were Angus-Gelbvieh crosses AI bred to the Angus bull GAR Prophet and natural service by a Balancer cleanup bull.
Close behind in the average was Goodnight Angus, Carthage. Their six heifers brought $3217 per head.
There were 112 registered buyers and 56 were successful bidders. Heifers stayed mostly in the southwest corner of Missouri but 32 went to Oklahoma, 31 went to Arkansas and 4 landed in Kentucky. As usual, repeat buyers were very active with 266 heifers taken home by them.
There were 29 consignors and five were first-timers. Consignments ranged from two to 120 head. Twelve consignors averaged $3000 or more per head on their heifers.
Most of the heifers were commercial with a pronounced Angus influence. The 315 straight black heifers averaged $2800. The 145 black baldy and black mottled faced heifers sold well all evening with a $3108 average. There were only 57 red and red white-faced heifers and they averaged $2831.
The AI bred heifers brought $123 more per head than the natural service heifers.
This was the 31st SMS sale in southwest Missouri sponsored by Missouri Show-Me-Select Replacement Heifers, Inc.
The previous high number of heifers sold was 387 head in the sale held November 1998. Since the first sale in 1997, a total of 7,977 heifers have sold for $11,088,057 at an average of $1,390 per head.
The next SMS sale in southwest Missouri will be at Joplin Regional on May 15. Those heifers are already enrolled in the program and will calve next fall.
"Persons wishing to participate in the November 2015 sale should contact their University of Missouri Extension livestock specialist to learn more about the strict protocol for this value-added program that incorporates technology in heifer development programs," said Cole.
Contact any of the MU Extension livestock specialists in southwest Missouri: Eldon Cole in Mt. Vernon, (417) 466-3102, Andy McCorkill in Dallas County at (417) 345-7551, or Dr. Patrick Davis in Cedar County at (417) 276-3313.
