Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, true comparisons were somewhat limited but steers and heifers sold unevenly steady. Demand was moderate to good for a moderate supply. Feeder Cattle futures started lower on Tuesday, but surged later in the day to close with sharp gains while live cattle saw moderate gains. Just like the weather, the runs of cattle are in a transition period with more calves starting to show up but still some summer grass cattle as well. Slaughter cows sold firm to 5.00 higher.

One grade step is worth $5.19/cwt here — about $136 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 800–900 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

32 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $452.11, low $364.23, median $430.87 across 32 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.
