As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold 3.00-10.00 higher and heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher with yearling heifers lightly tested. Demand was good to very good for a moderate to heavy supply that included several fancy groups of mostly un-weaned calves and 8 loads of quality yearling steers. Rain showers and storms over the last few weeks have kept farmers out of the field but allowed them to gather up some cattle and cash in on an impressive cattle market. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady, bulls 3.00-5.00 higher.

One grade step is worth $27.13/cwt here — about $126 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 400–500 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.

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.
