As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold mostly steady but with spots 3.00 higher to 3.00 lower. Heifers sold steady to 5.00 lower, except for 350-425 lb calves selling with a higher undertone. Demand was moderate to good, best for the higher quality loads of yearlings and calves to graze. Supply was heavy with many loads of yearlings and groups of calves. Cattle futures were in the red on Monday and quiet on Tuesday, but overall have been trading mostly sideways. The burden of large numbers of market ready cattle continues to weigh on the market as cattle feeders have little leverage against the packers who have been able to keep fed prices from increasing despite excellent beef demand. An additional 375 cows and bulls were not reported on this week due to the heavy supply of feeders.

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.
