Missouri cattle markets
Missouri is one of the country's significant cow-calf states, with pasture-based cattle operations distributed widely across the Ozarks, northern Missouri, and other grass-producing areas. It supplies large numbers of feeder calves and yearlings to backgrounding programs and feedlots in other states. The state has an established network of livestock auctions that handle regular feeder-cattle runs. Spring calving and fall weaning contribute to strong seasonal calf marketings, while some producers also calve in the fall.
Missouri cattle market commentary
Compared to last week, feeders under 600 lbs. sold 10.00 to 20.00 higher, over 600 lbs. 5.00 to 10.00 higher. The supply of feeders was moderate, and demand was good to very good, although high health risk calves continue to see typical seasonal discounts. The feeder markets were about the only bright spot in what was a very disappointing and unexpected week in the cattle complex. Following last weeks, very bullish cattle on feed report hopes were high for a rally that just failed to happen. Aside from cash feeder prices, all other aspects of the cattle market lost ground. A few stick-out sales this week included: 21 head of 514 lbs. steers at Unionville Livestock Market that sold for 489.50, 59 head of 626 lb. steers that sold for 421.50, a load of 889 lb. steers at 353.50, and a load of 912 lb. steers for 350.75. Ozarks Regional Stockyards sold 39 head of 564 lb. steers for 441.00. Kingsville Livestock Auction sold 24 head of 712 lb. steers for 407.50. New Cambria Livestock Auction sold a load of 775 lb. steers for 374.50. Joplin Regional Stockyards sold 21 head of 826 lb. steers for 369.00. Callaway Livestock Center sold 32 head of 552 lb. heifers for 392.50. Lolli Brothers Livestock Auction sold 78 head of 717 lb. heifers for 362.00. Boxed beef cut-out values were slightly lower for the week. Choice closed at 364.66, down 1.13, and Select closed at 351.98, down 0.71 compared to last week. The choice/select spread is 12.68 per cwt. Negotiated feedlot sales as of the 2:00 cutoff time on Friday were reported to be just under 67K head, trade started to develop on Wednesday and was mostly done by end of day on Thursday, some clean up sales reported on Friday but bids and prices dropped as the week progressed. Prices in the southern plains were mostly 225.00 live, in the north lives sales were mostly 224.00-225.00 and sales at 345.00-348.00. The Missouri Stocker formula consists of 4967 head with a weighted average weight of 547.73 lbs. and a price value of 419.43, 12.85 higher than last week. The steer/heifer is 42.96 per cwt.

Missouri cattle price frequently asked questions
How much are feeder steers in Missouri right now?
Feeder steer prices in Missouri ran from about $180 to $615 per cwt this week, with lighter calves bringing more per hundredweight than heavy yearlings; feeder heifers ran about $226 to $560 per cwt. Prices are from the USDA weekly cattle auction summary for the week ending Oct 31, 2026. Exact prices depend on weight, frame, and quality, shown in the tables above.
Why do lighter cattle cost more per hundredweight?
Buyers usually pay a higher price per pound for lighter calves than for heavy yearlings, a pattern often called the price slide, because lighter cattle have more weight left to gain. That is why a 5-weight steer can post a higher per-cwt price than an 8-weight steer at the same auction.
How often are these cattle prices updated?
USDA Market News publishes Missouri auction summaries weekly, and this page refreshes after each new report. Auction prices can change from week to week, so check the report date shown above.
