Ozarks Regional Stockyards
West Plains, MO
Market information provided by USDA
12 AUG '25
***Close***
Compared to the previous week, feeder steers and heifers traded 6.00 to 12.00 higher, while steer calves saw gains of 15.00 to 20.00 and heifer calves increased by 5.00 to 10.00. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Calf condition continues to be a key factor in pricing, with short or unweaned calves that are fleshy and carry excess hair receiving significant discounts. The largest lot of the day consisted of 223 head of 953-pound steers, which sold at 317.50/cwt. Another notable group included 59 head of 573-pound steers, bringing 442.00/cwt. Much of the area south and east of the Ozarks Regional Stockyard is experiencing abnormal dryness and is likely to be classified as moderate drought unless scattered thunderstorms provide relief. On Tuesday, cattle and soybean futures closed higher, while corn futures continued to decline.
