Market Notes
Compared to last week, feeders sold steady to 5.00 higher. The supply of feeders was light to moderate. Oppressive heat early week kept some cattle from making it to town and recent rains over some of the driest areas of the state have provided some hope to those that haven't already sold calves earlier than usual. Overall this week's offering was pretty typical of a late summer run. Still a few loads of yearlings scattered around but offerings are becoming more calves now. Demand was moderate to good. State wide the severity of drought conditions has gotten better with the recent rains but total area has increased as some areas in Northwest MO and a small line across the Iowa boarder was added as abnormally dry in the latest drought monitor. Boxed beef cutouts closed the week mixed. Choice closed at 263.37, down 1.25 and select at 239.59, up 0.92 compared to previous week. Feedlot sales as of Friday afternoon totaled right at 98.5k head.
