As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers 2.00-10.00 higher. Slaughter cows 3.00-5.00 higher. Demand good to very good. Supply heavy. Strong demand seen on several high quality consignments weighing 550-750 lbs. Full range of quality on a large run of feeders following the week off. Another very large run of slaughter cows followed the feeders as drought continues in much of the area.

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.
