As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers and heifers sold steady to 20.00 higher. In the slaughter/replacement portion of the auction slaughter cows and bulls sold 2.00-5.00 lower. Supply was heavy with good demand. Mid Missouri Stockyards held their annual customer appreciation day during the auction, and served a large crowd with beef brisket and fried chicken with all the trimmings.

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.

Slaughter cattle
