JC_LS758 Jefferson City, MO Mon Oct 2, 2017 USDA-MO Dept of Ag Market News Joplin Regional Stockyards - Carthage, MO Livestock Weighted Average Report for 10/2/2017 (*Live Auction) Receipts Week Ago Year Ago -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Receipts: 3,654 5,757 3,511 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feeder Cattle: 3,654(100%) 5,757(100%) 3,511(100%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Compared to last week, steers and heifers of all weights sold steady to 5.00 higher. Some short gains in the morning gave way to big losses for both live and feeder cattle by the close, with most contracts suffering triple digit losses. Last week's slaughter was the highest of 2017 at an estimated 648k head and another large kill is expected this week as packer margins are still quite impressive. Supply light. Demand good for yearlings, moderate for calves. Feeder cattle supply included 49 percent Steers, 1 percent Dairy Steers, 43 percent Heifers, and 6 percent Bulls. Feeder cattle supply over 600 lbs was 48 percent. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FEEDER CATTLE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STEERS - Medium and Large 1 (Per Cwt / Actual Wt) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 15 302-333 322 194.00-220.00 202.11 52 407-446 432 157.00-170.00 166.58 96 450-492 473 155.00-184.00 173.56 83 510-539 524 157.00-175.00 168.41 30 534 534 184.00 184.00 Thin Fleshed 75 563-595 578 147.00-172.00 158.39 96 606-634 614 154.00-167.00 160.00 48 667-698 677 151.00-157.00 153.23 47 720-741 732 155.00-157.00 156.39 113 761-785 768 151.00-157.00 154.12 34 825-826 825 146.50-152.00 147.95 STEERS - Medium and Large 1-2 (Per Cwt / Actual Wt) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 9 296 296 195.00 195.00 6 307-330 318 185.00-190.00 187.41 48 356-395 382 160.00-186.00 179.26 61 403-448 436 152.00-171.00 162.96 45 452-484 470 152.00-165.00 156.98 26 517-549 534 145.00-150.00 147.67 24 554-590 563 143.00-146.00 144.78 44 602-644 627 145.00-158.00 150.77 7 633 633 143.00 143.00 Fleshy 42 652-683 667 138.00-152.00 148.22 14 673-679 676 143.00 143.00 Fleshy 24 671-687 679 152.00-153.00 152.55 Thin Fleshed 51 701-746 716 138.00-155.00 147.62 15 764-769 766 146.00-148.00 146.93 17 786 786 152.50 152.50 Thin Fleshed 19 886 886 136.00 136.00 STEERS - Medium and Large 2 (Per Cwt / Actual Wt) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 7 597 597 140.00 140.00 10 617-628 621 140.00-143.00 141.79 3 658 658 139.00 139.00 12 701-739 723 128.00-134.00 130.42 STEERS - Large 1 (Per Cwt / Actual Wt) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 125 803 803 150.50 150.50 STEERS - Large 1-2 (Per Cwt / Actual Wt) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 7 441 441 170.00 170.00 8 562 562 155.00 155.00 7 632 632 146.00 146.00 7 683 683 131.00 131.00 8 941 941 126.00 126.00 DAIRY STEERS - Large 3 (Per Cwt / Actual Wt) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 20 574 574 74.00 74.00 15 791 791 75.00 75.00 5 1119 1119 54.00 54.00 HEIFERS - Medium and Large 1 (Per Cwt / Actual Wt) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 23 312-342 332 160.00-170.00 163.32 33 375-377 376 160.00 160.00 6 418 418 158.00 158.00 44 454-497 468 143.00-160.00 149.14 67 506-549 536 141.00-155.00 143.68 55 572-595 582 142.00-161.00 151.73 27 615-648 626 139.00-148.00 140.65 52 652-683 670 145.00-153.00 150.89 25 708-727 717 139.00-150.00 144.21 72 791 791 141.00 141.00 10 845 845 132.00 132.00 17 872 872 133.00 133.00 56 923 923 129.50 129.50 HEIFERS - Medium and Large 1-2 (Per Cwt / Actual Wt) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 12 309-345 333 145.00-157.00 151.48 15 352-398 361 144.00-146.00 144.44 111 402-442 430 139.00-145.00 141.85 120 452-498 472 139.00-146.00 141.15 64 501-544 526 132.00-142.00 136.07 8 517 517 139.00 139.00 Fleshy 10 510 510 144.00 144.00 Yearlings 36 560-596 582 131.00-142.00 134.56 11 575 575 137.00 137.00 Fleshy 33 608-643 629 132.00-140.00 136.00 27 650-696 680 120.00-146.00 132.53 3 748 748 126.00 126.00 Thin Fleshed 41 783-791 784 122.00-137.50 133.02 9 840 840 118.00 118.00 6 887 887 126.00 126.00 21 908 908 125.00 125.00 HEIFERS - Medium and Large 2 (Per Cwt / Actual Wt) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 8 419 419 142.00 142.00 7 479-495 485 138.00 138.00 18 560-582 573 130.00-134.00 131.60 6 621 621 132.00 132.00 6 671 671 121.00 121.00 5 826 826 110.00 110.00 HEIFERS - Large 1 (Per Cwt / Actual Wt) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 60 759 759 139.75 139.75 HEIFERS - Large 1-2 (Per Cwt / Actual Wt) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 5 323 323 157.00 157.00 4 1081 1081 94.00 94.00 3 1073 1073 89.00 89.00 Fleshy HEIFERS - Medium 1 (Per Cwt / Actual Wt) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 12 546 546 146.00 146.00 HEIFERS - Medium 1-2 (Per Cwt / Actual Wt) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 7 501 501 148.00 148.00 BULLS - Medium and Large 1-2 (Per Cwt / Actual Wt) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 4 278 278 192.50 192.50 9 358 358 169.00 169.00 28 416 416 171.00 171.00 12 478-481 478 160.00 160.00 28 547 547 144.00 144.00 13 569-596 585 131.00-143.00 139.03 22 607-641 636 134.00-141.00 134.91 26 651-699 680 119.00-139.50 127.79 9 769 769 77.00 77.00 11 810 810 119.00 119.00 6 957 957 110.00 110.00 BULLS - Medium and Large 2 (Per Cwt / Actual Wt) Head Wt Range Avg Wt Price Range Avg Price 3 683 683 112.50 112.50 Please Note: The above USDA LPGMN price report is reflective of the majority of classes and grades of livestock offered for sale.
