As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold mostly steady while heifers sold uneven with the calves 5.00-10.00 lower and yearlings steady to 5.00 higher with a stick out load up to 10.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good, but with the up and down weather, buyers were cautious on the calves. To start the week, cattle futures haven't been disruptive. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 higher.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $514.71, low $388.71, median $472.13 across 31 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.
