Compared to last week, steers under 700 lbs sold steady to 7.00 higher with most of the advance on the 550-650 lb weight range, yearling steers steady to 4.00 lower. Heifer calves sold unevenly steady from 5.00 higher to 5.00 lower. The undertone for yearling heifers was mostly steady to a few comparable sales from last week, firm to higher for 600-650 lbs. The supply was moderate to heavy with near 15 loads of yearlings offered along with several quality consignments of calves. Demand was moderate to good. Slaughter cows sold mostly 2.00-5.00 lower but some high dressing cows traded 6.00-8.00 lower than the highs last week. Slaughter bulls 2.00-5.00 higher.

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.
