As filed

Compared to last week's lighter supply with mostly smaller drafts of cattle, several loads and larger groups were featured this week and steers sold 5.00-10.00 higher with spots up to 13.00 higher and heifers sold steady to 6.00 higher. Supply was moderate to heavy and the quality and condition was attractive with most of the cattle on the yearling side. Demand was good for both the yearlings and calves. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-8.00 lower.

One grade step is worth $17.41/cwt here — about $53 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 300–400 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $524.49, low $425.76, median $482.31 across 25 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.
