As filed

Compared to last weeks light test, steer and heifer calves sold mostly 5.00-10.00 higher with more calves weaned and the overall quality more attractive this week. Yearling steers sold with a higher undertone and a load 715 lb heifers of similar quality from the same operation as last week sold 4.00 higher. Demand was good for the calves as a nice stretch of weather is forecast and good for the yearlings as well. The board has rebounded some coming off of the recent low and with some sunshine, everyone was in a more optimistic mood on election day. Supply was moderate with a much larger offering of cows and bulls than in weeks past. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 2.00-3.00 lower.

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.
