Heifers under 700lbs sold mostly 6.00 to 12.00 higher with spots up to 20.00 higher, and heifers over 700lbs were not well tested. Slaughter cows and bulls were mostly 5.00 to 8.00 lower. Demand was moderate on a light supply.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $442.30, low $334.00, median $393.23 across 33 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.
