Compared to last week, a light test of feeders under 600 lbs. sold unevenly steady, feeders over 600 lbs. sold steady to 5.00 higher. Many sales were off or had very light offerings due to a combination of factors including the holiday week, the heat, and hay season. A few annual holiday week special sales made up the majority of this week's offering and were mostly heavy weight yearling cattle sold in load or multiload lots. Many of these cattle had attractive weight ups for buyers due to the extreme heat this past week. The weather finally provided a break and nearly every piece of hay equipment in the state found its way to the field. Producers giving a much different report on the late cutting hay as plenty of moisture kept undergrowth growing good and yields were much better than early cut hay, although quality varied depending on grass types.

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.
