As filed

Compared to last week's light test, steers and heifers sold steady to 10.00 higher but with spots 15.00-20.00 higher on the yearling steers. Demand was very good for a moderate supply of mostly loads and packages of yearlings. Buyers continue to push prices to new highs each week and Wednesday was no exception. Slaughter cows sold steady to 5.00 lower.

One grade step is worth $42.36/cwt here — about $173 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 400–500 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

25 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $447.60, low $380.31, median $427.30 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

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.
