As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold steady to 3.00 higher and heifers sold uneven from 5.00 higher to 5.00 lower with most of the variance just depending upon buyers orders. Overall, demand was good for a quality run of calves and yearlings with several reputation consignments offered. The majority of the calves were weaned and in moderate flesh; a few groups of high quality un-weaned calves saw little to no discount. Supply was moderate.

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.
