Compared to last week, feeders sold steady to 10.00 higher, with several calves once again seeing spots of 20.00 higher. Heifer calves saw significant strength this week as the steer/heifer spread had grown wider than usual over the last few weeks. The supply of feeders was heavy as weather conditions remained favorable. Joplin Regional Stockyards held the biggest one-day sale in the history of the barn, marketing 15,578 head through the barn. Nearly every barn saw large runs this week and this was actually the largest weekly volume of the year thus far as much of the early year sales were impacted by weather. Demand was good to very good and many of the calf prices are back to record levels passing those seen in 2015.

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.
