As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 3.00 higher. Demand was good for a moderate supply. The spring born calves are making up a good portion of the offering each week now with most just coming in off the cow, but of very good quality. Several loads of yearling were on hand as well. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-6.00 lower.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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.
