As filed

Compared to the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers steady. Feeder heifers under 550 lbs 5.00-10.00 lower, over 550 lbs steady with a lower undertone on some fleshy/unweaned. Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 lower. Demand moderate to good. Supply heavy. It felt like a post-Labor Day feeder auction with lots of new crop calves and larger price spreads based on quality, flesh and weaning status. Cattle futures tumbled Tuesday as bullish cattle fundamentals took a back seat to poor inflation news, a sharply lower stock market and the likelihood of more coming interest rate hikes.

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.
