As filed

A large crowd was on hand for this month's Special Bred Cow Sale at Joplin Regional Stockyards. Mostly smaller consignments of bred cows on offer, most in the 2nd and 3rd stage, with a small number of pairs in town. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good.

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.
