As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves under 500 lbs sold 15.00-30.00 higher with some renewed optimism in the market and steers over 500 lbs sold steady to 15.00 higher. Heifers sold mostly 5.00-15.00 higher but with spots 20.00 higher on a nice offering of 550-625 lb heifers. Demand was good for a moderate supply. Cattle futures have rallied following the news that the framework of a peace deal has been agreed upon with Iran. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-5.00 lower, bulls 5.00-10.00 lower.

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.
