As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers under 700 lbs sold mostly steady, yearling cattle over 700 lbs sold 4.00 to 8.00 higher. Several loads of yearling were in the barn today and a good supply of weaned and vaccinated calves in the offering. Demand was good.

One grade step is worth $41.52/cwt here — about $319 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 700–800 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

31 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $514.71, low $446.05, median $482.34 across 31 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.
