Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 lower with the exception of some yearling heifers trading 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Market activity picked up late in the morning as lot size and quality improved. Most weights and classes traded comfortably in the lower end to middle of last week's price spreads with the losses coming off the top side of the range. Supply moderate to heavy, demand 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.
