As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers mostly 10.00-15.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs 15.00-30.00 higher with no comparisons over 600 lbs. Slaughter cows 4.00-8.00 lower. Demand moderate to good. Supply moderate. The feeder market is stronger so far this week although more of an up day may have been in store if not for the 800+ point feeder futures drop on Tuesday.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $519.42, low $374.69, median $457.99 across 24 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.
