Too few last week for a good market test, compared to two weeks ago, steers under 650 lbs and over 850 lbs steady, 650 to 850 lbs steady to 3.00 higher, heifers under 550 lbs steady to 3.00 higher, over 550 lbs steady. Demand good, supply moderate to heavy. The temperature warmer and weather much improved for moving cattle to market.

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.
