As filed

Compared to last week, all weights of steers and heifer calves sold 5.00-15.00 higher while yearling heifers sold mostly steady. Demand was good to very good for a moderate supply. Last week's higher cash fed cattle trade has given a boost to the yearling market. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 5.00 higher.

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.
