Joplin regional market news

The Joplin Regional Stockyards, Joplin, Mo., reported receipts of 5,000 head Jan. 23, compared to 8,000 head last week and 9,041 head last year, according to the USDA Market News Service, Jefferson City, Mo.

Compared to last week, steers and heifers under 650 pounds were steady to $3 higher, over 650 pounds were nearly steady. Demand was moderate to good, supply was moderate. Most of the calves were in medium to thin condition and yearlings in medium flesh. Fed cattle traded for $96 to $97 live last week. Japan reinstated their ban on U.S. beef imports last week. Other factors seem to have priority in the market as buyers gather stockers for summer grazing and yearling buyers look for pen space. The feeder supply included 44% steers, 5% Holsteins, 41% heifers, 10% bulls, with 44% over 600 pounds.
