As filed

Compared to last week steers and heifers sold steady except for some steer calves under 550 lbs that sold up to 10.00 higher. Demand was good for a moderate supply that offered several consignments of yearlings and some fancy new crop calves. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $447.60, low $357.18, median $413.34 across 25 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.
