As filed

Compared to the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers under 500 lbs steady to 2.00 higher, over 500 lbs 2.00-8.00 higher. Feeder heifers 4.00-8.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady. Demand good to very good. Supply heavy. The feeder offering was long on numbers and quality this week with several outstanding consignments in the mix. Feeder trend reflects an uptick in the market that began the middle of last week.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.

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.
