*CLOSE* Compared to last week, steers under 650 lbs steady to 3.00 lower, 650 to 800 lbs 2.00 to 5.00 lower, 800 weights 5.00 to 6.00 lower, heifers under 650 lbs 3.00 to 8.00 lower, over 650 lbs 3.00 to 5.00 lower. Demand moderate, supply heavy. The weather has moderated and the offering will be heavy as Livestock Markets will be back on their regular sale schedules. A few slaughter cattle traded at the feedlots, earlier than usual, at 120.00.

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.
