Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold mostly 2.00 to 6.00 higher with spots up to 12.00 higher. Heifers sold mostly 5.00 to 12.00 higher. Demand was moderate on a moderate to light supply of feeder cattle this week. Slaughter cows and bulls were steady to 4.00 higher. A good run of replacement cattle were on offer this evening that included some fancy sets of open heifers ready to breed, bred cows, and pairs that all created very good demand.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $501.78, low $364.36, median $447.56 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.
