As filed

Based on limited comparisons with last week, feeder steers under 500 lbs steady, 500-600 lbs 3.00-5.00 lower, and over 600 lbs steady to 3.00 lower. Feeder heifers 1.00-4.00 higher. Slaughter cows 5.00-6.00 higher. Demand moderate to good. Supply moderate. Friday's Cattle on Feed report contained a bearish placement reading of 106, most of which came from early movement of drought stricken cattle weighing 700 lbs and down. The slaughter volume continues to improve at a painfully slow pace with last weeks total missing the mark by about 25.000 head.

How this sale compares

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.
