As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers under 600 lbs unevenly steady, over 600 lbs steady to 2.00 lower on a light test. Feeder heifers steady to 3.00 lower with decline under 500 lbs. Slaughter cows firm to 1.00 higher. Demand good. Supply moderate. Generally a steady feeder trade but probably a litter better vibe with feeder contracts clawing back early in the week after seeing big losses 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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head

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.
