*CLOSE*

Compared to last week, steers under 500 lbs 3.00 to 7.00 higher, 500 to 800 lbs steady to 3.00 higher, steers over 800 lbs steady, heifers steady, except yearling heifers 700 to 850 lbs steady to 5.00 higher . Demand moderate to good, supply moderate to heavy. Some confidence in the market as Live Cattle closed with double digit gains and Feeder Cattle futures closed with triple digit gains.

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.
