*CLOSE* Compared to last Monday's sale, steers under 700 lbs steady, except bawling calves over 500 lbs 2.00 to 3.00 lower, steers over 700 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 lower, heifers 1.00 to 3.00 lower, except under 400 lbs steady. Demand moderate to good, supply heavy. Demand best for calves to graze this winter and next summer. 700 weight and heavier cattle bound for feedyards under pressure as Corn traded higher and Live Cattle and Feeder Cattle futures closed 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.
