As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold unevenly steady from 5.00 lower to 5.00 higher with the advance on 400-550 lb calves that saw the best demand. Overall, demand was moderate, good for a couple loads of yearling steers that were offered for the annual Customer Appreciation sale. Supply was moderate and included mostly calves in moderate flesh conditions. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady.

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.
