As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers near steady. Feeder heifers 2.00-6.00 lower. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 lower. Demand good. Supply heavy. Overall quality and condition was not as attractive as last week although some of the top steers weighing 500-650 lbs reached prices similar to last weeks runaway trade. Several backgrounded steers this week including a load of nice yearlings weighing 776 lbs @ 234.00. Lots of cows moving again this week although some areas did get a good shot of rain over the weekend.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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.
