Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 3.00 higher. Most weights and classes traded within a dollar or two of last week's ranges throughout the day with the market improving as the sale went on. Demand was good for all weights and at times very good for long time weaned yearlings, including a string of 139 head of 1075 lb steers bringing just over $1350/head. Most of the cattle on offer were in good green condition. Supply moderate.

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.
