As filed

Compared to the last reported sale two weeks ago, steers sold 5.00- 15.00 higher with spots 20.00 higher on those under 550 lbs and heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher. Demand was good for a moderate supply that was heavy to the new crop calves. Quite a bit of field work is being done and a few fields have been planted to corn. Slaughter cows sold 5.00-10.00 higher but several cows are also going back to the farm to feed.

One grade step is worth $31.97/cwt here — about $120 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

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.

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.
