As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers steady to 5.00 higher with advance mostly under 550 lbs. Feeder heifers steady to 4.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 higher. Demand good. Supply moderate. The cattle outlook continues to be rosy with strong demand and reduced tonnage pushing the market higher. Beef cutouts are moving higher so far again this week making another higher feedlot trade quite possible.

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.
