Compared to last week, feeders sold steady to 3.00 lower. The supply of feeders was moderate, although reporters in several locations noted overall quality was lower than has been seen in the previous weeks and offerings were made up of many more unweaned new crop type of calves carrying a bit more flesh than what buyers of grass cattle prefer. Demand was moderate but again discounts are being applied to those cattle that won't go to grass and take to gaining in a hurry. Weather continues to be a rollercoaster as the season's transition. Some areas saw some light snow last week along with heavy frost and freezing temperatures that were followed up by a big warm up that got into the 80's over the weekend. Thus far there has been very little field work done this spring a few days here and there has allowed limited tillage or but planting hasn't been enough be measured thus far. Boxed beef cutouts were mixed for the week with choice closing on Friday at 270.47, up 3.33 and select at 260.33, down 2.19 compared to last week.

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.
