As filed

Compared to last week feeder steer calves sold 7.00-14.00 lower. Yearling steers over 725 lbs. sold steady to 6.00 higher. Feeder heifer calves sold 2.00-4.00 lower. Yearling heifers over 700 lbs. sold steady to 10.00 higher. The bulk of the offering consisted of yearling type cattle with calves only lightly tested, which contributed to the lower trade. Supply was heavy with good demand. With a heat wave coming and a large run expected, Joplin Regional Stockyards made an unprecedented decision to move their sale time to midnight in an effort to keep both the cattle and the cowboys safe in extreme conditions. A larger crowd than one might have expected was on hand through the early morning hours as load after load made their way through the ring before daylight. The largest draft of the day was 718 head of steers weighing 891 lbs. that went across the scales at 261.50.
