As filed

Compared to last week slaughter cows sold unevenly from 2.00 lower to 3.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold steady to 3.00 lower. Supply was heavy with good demand. This report combines the slaughter/replacement sale with the special replacement auction tonight. A very large crowd was on hand for the replacement auction. Bidding was active through out the entire sale. The top pairs sold for 4,900.00. The top selling bred cows sold for 4,775.00 with the high selling bred heifers not far behind at 4,500.00.

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.
