Compared to last week, feeders sold mostly steady. The supply was light as several barns remained dark for the holiday shortened week. Much cooler nights are hinting at the coming of fall and buyers are becoming less interested in high risk calves that lack good health programs. There was several load lots and partial loads that sold this week, mostly in the north. Green City held a special sale Wednesday with over 3k head offered. A full load of 864 lb. steers sold at 185.35. On the other end of the weight scale a part load of 535 steer calves sold at New Cambria Livestock Market on Thursday averaging 535 lbs. and sold at 224.75. Interestingly enough there has been an uptick in demand for replacement cows noted over the last couple of weeks. Following the long dry summer and huge sales offs, rains have resulted in grass greening up and growing again and there are several farmers looking for cows now. Boxed beef cutouts were lower for the week. Choice closed on Friday at 257.26, down 2.16 and select at 234.73, down 3.85. As of the Friday afternoon report negotiated feedlot volume was reported just under 79k head, with live sales 141.00-145.00 and dressed sales at 226.00-229.00. The Missouri Stocker Formula Consists of 2126 head with a weighted average weight of 541.92 lbs. and a price value of 204.01, 2.48 higher than 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.
