Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded 8.00-10.00 higher and slaughter bulls traded 6.00-7.00 higher. Demand was very good on a moderate supply. Varying amounts of rain across the area helped some pastures to green up while others saw no improvement. Before the rain fell most of the counties in Southern Missouri and Northern Arkansas were classified as level D3 (Extreme Drought) according to the United States Drought Monitor. This makes them eligible for the Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP). This program provides direct payments to eligible livestock producers. Contact your local Farm Service Agency to apply.
