Compared to last week, feeders sold steady to 10.00 higher, with some instances 20.00 higher. The supply of feeders was light as extreme heat continued to limit cattle movement. Demand was good to very good as buyers desperately want to fill some orders which has been difficult the last few weeks with the light runs. The market has been incredibly strong seemly adding dollars each day. Hard to find any big groups of lighter weight calves as most have been selling in small groups. Several loads of yearlings at various barns around the state. Nearly every barn seems to be setting some kind of barn records on some weights of cattle currently. Both the CME Feeder Index and the MO Stocker Formula once again set all-time record highs again this week. Some spotty rains occurred in the south but dryness across the southern half of the state continues to worsen. No one seems to be feeding yet but with out some rain in the next couple of weeks that couple become a possibility. The cooler weather in the forecast will be a welcomed relief.

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.
