As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher with a few exceptions of the fancier type grass turn out calves under 600 lbs selling 10.00 to 20.00 higher. Several strings of reputation yearlings crossed to scales as well today. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Supply was moderate to good with very good demand.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $524.49, low $388.35, median $466.90 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.
