How to read these figures

Head-weighted averages across every auction USDA Market News reported for the week, quoted on Medium & Large 1–2 — the same grade your sale barn quotes. Every table can be switched to all grades, which runs lower because it folds in the plain cattle. These are averages, not bids: yours will bring what they bring. Not financial advice.

Feeder cattle

What’s a calf worth in Missouri?

At this week's Missouri class average. A class average is not a bid — yours will bring what they bring — but it is the number to argue from.

$2,231

a head at this week's 500–600 lb average of $405.57 per hundredweight — down $11.40 on last week.

Based on 2,138 head sold in that class across every reporting auction. A class average, not a bid — your cattle will bring what they bring.

Each figure is the return on gain in dollars per pound — what the spread between the two classes pays you for a pound. Green means the trade is ahead of your cost of gain, red means it is behind. Below the diagonal you sell the heavier animal and buy back lighter, so you want a high figure. Above it you are trading up and buying pounds ready-made, so you want a low one.

This week's best spreads

Cows, bulls & replacements

Every class Missouri auctions reported this week. Cull cows price on condition — Breakers fleshiest, Leans thinnest. Replacement classes trade by the head. A class shows its price whenever anything sold; the week-over-week move is withheld when too few head changed hands for the comparison to mean anything, which happens more often at state level than nationally.
