As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold uneven with the calves under 650 lbs steady to spots 5.00 lower and heavier weights steady to 3.00 higher. Heifers sold steady to 4.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good for calves and good for yearlings on an active market with several reputation strings and loads of cattle on offer for buyers to work with. Supply was heavy with some pretty nice January weather to move cattle. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 1.00 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.
