Market Notes

Compared to last week, steer calves sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher, yearling steers and all heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher. The supply of feeders was light to moderate. Offerings were more typical of late July and a lighter than what has been seen the last several weeks. Heavy to extreme amounts of rain fell across north Missouri causing severe flooding in areas in and around St. Louis. The southern half of the state saw some rains mid to late week, not before the drought monitor was released on Thursday however which showed a big increase in the about classified as D3 or Extreme Drought. The hope of these rains was partly what kept receipts down a bit as potential rains gave farmers enough hope to hold off on selling at the current time. Not all areas in the south received rain and even those that did will need much more to turn the current situation around as two or three inches isn't going to do it. A few sale highlights this week included five loads of 850-900 lb. steers that sold at Unionville Livestock Market from 179.25-180.00. Joplin Regional Stockyards sold 105 head of 631 lb. steers at 195.50. The number that is most eye catching this week however, came from MO-KAN Livestock Market where they sold 112 head of 502 lb. steers for 224.25. Feedlot sales for the week as of Friday afternoon totaled just over 72K head. Live sales were reported from 135.00-145.00 and dressed sales 224.00-225.00. Boxed beef cutouts were mixed for the week.
