As filed

Compared to the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers 3.00-10.00 lower with some unweaned calves 15.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 450 lbs 10.00-20.00 lower, over 450 lbs 3.00-10.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady. Demand moderate to good. Supply moderate. Feeder futures closed down the 925 point limit on Tuesday breaking the upward trend seen in feeder prices over the past several weeks. Bawling calves will be getting harder to keep healthy with the warm days and cool nights of fall upon us.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $519.42, low $374.69, median $458.20 across 23 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.
