*CLOSE* No sale last week due to the Labor Day holiday, compared to two weeks ago, steers under 450 lbs steady to 3.00 higher, 450 to 700 lbs steady to 3.00 lower, heifers under 700 lbs steady to 5.00 lower, yearlings over 700 lbs steady to 3.00 higher. Demand moderate to good, supply moderate. Live Cattle and Feeder Cattle futures posted mostly triple digit gains, providing support for the feeder cattle trade. Un-weaned calves under pressure as weather is going to be a factor in keeping these kind healthy.

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.
