As filed

Based on limited comparisons with last week, feeder steers under 600 lbs near steady. A large offering of steers over 625 lbs sold with a higher undertone but with no recent comparable sales. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs steady to 5.00 higher with no comparisons over 600 lbs. Slaughter cows steady to firm. Demand good. Supply heavy. Several consignments of backgrounded true yearling cattle this week weighing 635-770 lbs as producers took advantage of some good cattle handling weather.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

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.
