As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, feeder steers steady to 4.00 higher with advance over 600 lbs. Feeder heifers 2.00-7.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00-4.00 higher. Demand good. Supply moderate. The feeder market is still red hot following the holiday with another round of record fed cattle sales last week helping to fuel the fire. Lots of smaller consignments this week with several of the better quality cattle weighing over 650 lbs and carrying some flesh.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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.
