As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers sold mostly 3.00-8.00 higher except for the 500-550 lb weight range trading steady. Heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher except for some of the fancier 400-500 lb heifer calves up to 10.00 higher. A heavy supply of quality cattle made their way to town and buyers were ready to do business as demand was very good for all weights. These cattle marketed in February have battled through the temperature swings of the fall and brutal cold this winter which makes for attractive weigh ups and less health problems for their new owners resulting in some premium prices. An additional 250 head of slaughter cows and bulls were not reported due to the large supply of feeders.

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.
