As filed

Compared to last week, a lighter test of steer and heifer calves sold mostly steady. Demand was moderate for a light to moderate supply. With the unusually warm weather and some big changes coming at some point, the un-weaned or short weaned calves that pose a higher health risk are being discounted and also several of the calves are carrying some flesh. Slaughter cows 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.

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.
