As filed

Compared to the last trended sale three weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers 10.00-30.00 higher except heifers under 500 lbs fully 30.00-50.00 higher. Slaughter cows 6.00-8.00 higher. Demand very good. Supply moderate. The feeder market remains a very fast track with more record prices seen. Maybe the highlight of the day came on a load of reputation black steers weighing 773 lbs @ 388.25 The cow sale included a small consignment of third period bred heifers on the low end of medium flesh that also drew considerable interest.

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.
