As filed

Compared to last week, the best test of the market was on yearlings weighing 650-835 lbs trading steady. A light test of similar cattle under 650 lbs sold with a steady to lower undertone. The quality was mixed and a higher percentage of the offering was un-weaned calves. Demand was good for the attractive yearlings, moderate to light for plainer kind and mixed for calves. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady except for a few high dressing fat cows up to 3.00 higher.

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.
