As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold mostly steady to 3.00 higher except for the 600-675 lb weight range trading 5.00-9.00 higher. Heifers sold firm to 5.00 higher based on light comparisons from last week, however some of the lighter fleshed heifers under 600 lbs sold upwards of 8.00-10.00 higher. Demand was good to very good with mostly long weaned yearlings in attractive condition and quality on offer. Several load lots were sold throughout the day. The cash fed market finally gained some ground last week and futures moved higher on Monday. Also, the summer feeder cattle contracts look attractive at the 1.60 mark and the grass is beginning to grow. Supply was moderate to heavy. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady, bulls sold firm.

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.
