Compared to last week, steer calves 3.00 to 5.00 higher, heifer calves and yearlings steady to 3.00 higher. Demand good, supply moderate to heavy. The USDA Cattle On Feed report showed 101 percent On Feed, Placements at 102 percent, and 101 percent Marketed. Placement numbers were higher than many expected. Live Cattle and Feeder Cattle futures responded with triple digit losses.

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.

Missouri feeder prices, every weight →Every state and region →
