As filed

Compared to last week's light test, steer and heifer calves under 700 lbs that were un-weaned and/or carrying flesh made up the majority of the calf run and sold 5.00-10.00 lower, spots 15.00 lower but the longer weaned yearlings sold steady to 5.00 higher. A few groups of weaned steers and heifer calves weighing 400-500 lbs sold near steady. The soft calves saw light to moderate demand while the longer weaned cattle in a more attractive condition saw good demand. Supply was moderate. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady.

One grade step is worth $20.61/cwt here — about $96 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 600–700 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

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.
