As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers steady. Feeder heifers steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows 6.00-10.00 higher. Demand moderate to good. Supply heavy. Mixed news for the cattle as the feedlot trade has firmed a bit while futures are wanting to drift lower this week and corn has bounced off of recent lows. Feeder offering was highlighted by a good consignment of Red Angus cattle which included 100 head of 522 lb steers at 270.00.cwt.

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
Bulls	—	Low	1,676	124.12	2,080	14
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,443	103.22	1,489	26

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,029	85.11	876	56

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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head

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.
