Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, slaughter cows sold 4.00-5.00 lower and slaughter bulls sold 2.00-4.00 lower. Large numbers of cattle are coming to market as area drought conditions continue to intensify and both water sources and forage supplies are being depleted. Several small dispersals were included in the supply. Supply was heavy and demand moderate for slaughter classes.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Replacement cattle Per 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.
