As filed

Compared to last week, steers under 700 lbs sold firm to 5.00 higher and heavier weights were lightly tested but traded with a steady undertone. Heifers sold 3.00-6.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good in spots with the incoming weather on buyers minds. Supply was moderate, the frozen ground made for good conditions to move cattle. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-5.00 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.
