As filed

Compared to the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers under 575 lbs steady to 4.00 lower, over 575 lbs steady to 4.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs 5.00-8.00 higher, over 600 lbs 3.00-5.00 higher. Slaughter cows 1,00-2.00 higher. Demand good to very good. Supply moderate. Several good yearling cattle in the mix this week. Cattle futures had a solid day Tuesday with most contracts around 1.00/cwt higher. Noticeable discounts were seen on a few consignments of heavier haired mid weight steers. A special cow sale following the feeders was highlighted by some high quality 4-6 year old Red Angus cows.

Missouri weighted averages

One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Missouri auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
