Steers totaled 7.54 million, up 2 percent, and heifers totaled 4.57 million head, up 2 percent from a year ago. Placements totaled 1.99 million head, 0.4 percent below a year ago, however higher than the average industry guess at 92.3 percent. Marketings totaled 2 million head, 2 percent less than a year ago.

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.
