Compared to last week, steers and heifers under 600 lbs 2.00 to 6.00 lower, over 600 lbs 5.00 to 7.00 lower, 900 weight steers 7.00 to 10.00 lower. Demand moderate, supply heavy. The uncertainty and unknown with the Coronavirus has shaken commodity and financial markets. Feeder Cattle futures closed limited down. The USDA Cattle On Feed report was neutral with 102% On Feed, 99% Placements, and 101% Marketed.

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.
