As filed

Compared to last week, steers under 650 lbs sold mostly 3.00-7.00 lower with heavier weights steady to 3.00 lower except for the loads of 900 lb steers selling firm. Heifers traded steady to 4.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good and despite a lower trend, the local cash market held up better than one might expect after fed cattle traded lower again last week and feeder cattle futures cant seem to gain any footing. Supply was moderate and included several loads of yearlings. Slaughter cows sold steady.

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.
