As filed

Compared to the last trended sale three weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers 10.00-30.00 higher except heifers under 500 lbs fully 30.00-50.00 higher. Slaughter cows 6.00-8.00 higher. Demand very good. Supply moderate. The feeder market remains a very fast track with more record prices seen. Maybe the highlight of the day came on a load of reputation black steers weighing 773 lbs @ 388.25 The cow sale included a small consignment of third period bred heifers on the low end of medium flesh that also drew considerable interest.

One grade step is worth $107.24/cwt here — about $512 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 500–600 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $519.42, low $389.14, median $463.82 across 24 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

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.
