As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold 3.00-10.00 lower following most other segments of the cattle market that have trended lower the past couple weeks. Mostly smaller packages of un-weaned or short weaned cattle were offered and demand was moderate to light with a light supply after several days of heavy rain. Slaughter cows sold steady.

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.
