Compared to a light test last week, steers under 700 lbs steady, steers over 700 lbs and heifers (all weights) steady to 3.00 higher. Demand moderate to good, supply moderate to heavy. Live Cattle and Feeder Cattle futures showed some strength and closed on the positive side. A arctic cold front moving into the trade area will freeze the ground for a couple days, but more feed will be required to keep animals warm. This is expected to be short lived and warmer temperatures will return.

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.
