As filed

Compared to the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers steady to 5.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. Demand good to very good. Supply heavy. More numbers and quality this week with lots of nice weaned cattle in good buying condition. The long awaited fed cattle draw down and leverage shift has finally arrived with hungry packers advancing the market to 140.00/cwt late last week. The increasingly bullish cattle outlook is being tempered somewhat this week by lower commodity prices and economic worries although the back months of feeder contracts bucked the trend to close higher Tuesday.

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.
