Compared to last week, a light test of calves sold very uneven with instances of as much as 20.00 either way. A better test of yearling sold steady to 10.00 higher. The supply of feeders was light to moderate with heat affecting some sales and many farmers still in the hayfields. Several sales remained dark this week or didn't have enough cattle for a report, while a few others had some special sales with moderate to heavy supplies. Joplin Regional Stockyards held a special yearling sale and made an unprecedented move of starting at midnight last Sunday night due to large numbers and trying to beat the extreme heat. The yearling market has been very strong setting new record prices which has been reflected by the national feeder cattle index which saw a top last week of 259.04. Stick-out sales this week like receipts in general were more limited and mostly all yearlings. To be honest at current prices about any decent sized draft could be considered a stick out sale. Unionville Livestock Market sold 5 loads of reputation cattle from 861-888 lbs. at a range of 265.75-271.50. Joplin Regional Stockyards sold 718 head of steers in one pop that weighted 891 lbs. for 261.50. Kingsville Livestock Market sold a load of 717 lb. heifers at 278.50.

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
Source: USDA AMS, as filed — nothing recomputed and nothing rounded. This summary aggregates the same sales the Missouri barn reports cover, so it must never be added to a state total built from those barns.
