As filed

Compared to much lighter receipts last week, feeders sold steady to 5.00 higher with some instances of 5.00 to 8.00 higher on heifers. The supply was heavy with several larger consignments of high quality cattle weaned and with shots finding very good demand. The market for heifers was very strong with some 6 and 7 weights fetching prices nearly as good as steers.

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.
