As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers and heifers 3.00-9.00 lower. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 lower. Demand light to moderate. Supply moderate. Feeder auctions have had some days over the past few weeks when they have shrugged off the downward trend of the board but this wasn't one of them as feeder futures are now a bad day away from falling below the 130.00 mark.

How this sale compares

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.
