As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steaty to 5.00 higher with spots up to 10.00 higher on some of the bigger groups of middle weight yearling steers weighing from 625-800 lbs. Demand was good for a moderate supply with mostly yearlings on hand but some nice groups of calves also. A good portion of the cattle were in an attractive condition coming off grass. Slaughter cows sold 4.00-6.00 lower.

One grade step is worth $13.73/cwt here — about $33 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 600–700 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

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.
