Compared to last week, grazing weight calves mostly under 700 lbs. sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher with heavier weight yearling types steady to 5.00 higher. The supply of feeders was moderate with offerings at local barns slowing up slightly. Demand is good to very good as buyers continue to aggressively buy up calves that can be put out on grass. Still a lot of reports of producers selling earlier than normal as prices are just too good to pass up. February was one of the warmest on record and this has a lot of green showing around the state already. Despite a short-lived dose of winter midweek much of the past week was spent in short sleeves. A few farmers are out in the fields cutting in gas for corn if they didn't already get that done last fall. Pastures and hay fields are getting fertilizer applied and everyone seems happy about the early spring. There is some concern that moisture is needed though as near 86 percent of the state is listed as abnormally to moderately dry and without some spring moisture all that hope and optimism for the new growing year will fade quickly. A few of this week's stick out sales included 35 head of 465 lb. steers at Joplin Regional Stockyards which sold for 365.00. Ozarks Regional Stockyards had two big stick out sales this week 270 head of 556 fancy black white faced steers which sold for 329.85 and another 111 head of 717 lb. steers which sold for 271.50. Callaway Livestock Center sold a load of 856 lbs. steers for 248.00. Boxed beef cutouts values were higher this week. Choice closed on Friday at 305.28, up 4.67 and select closed at 295.74, up 9.43 compared to last week. Negotiated feedlot sales as of the Friday afternoon report totaled 69K head with sales developing late and more likely took place after the report cutoff. Live sales were reported at 183.00-184.50 and Dressed sales at 290.00. The Missouri Stocker Formula doing exactly what it was designed to do and continues to reflect prices climbing higher into new record territory. Missouri Stocker formula consists of 5,120 head with a weighted average weight of 540.06 lbs. and a price value of 311.08, 8.97 higher than a week ago. The steer/heifer spread is 39.95.

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.
