As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 3.00 higher except for heifer calves weighing 450-525 lbs trading 5.00-10.00 higher. Demand was moderate to mostly good, very good in spots but as expected buyers were selective when it came to quality and most of the day it was moderate to smaller sized packages that were offered with quite a bit of variance in quality. Supply was moderate to heavy. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

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.
