Note: To derive the calves backgrounded in Missouri, summed the steers 500+ (440,000 head) and other heifers 500+ (250,000 head) to equal 690,000 head. Subtracted MO cattle on feed (65,000 head) to equal 625,000 head.

Note: Used Missouri cattle on feed January 1 inventory (65,000 head) and multiplied it by 2.5 turns on cattle on feed per year to equal 162,500 head fed annually.

(12) Calves backgrounded in Missouri (625,000 head) minus calves fed in Missouri (162,500 head) which equals 462,500 head. Added the sold outside Missouri as calves (891,000 head) to equal 1,353,500 head.
