As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 lower. Demand was moderate for a run of mostly un-weaned or 30 day weaned calves carrying some flesh, but four loads of 875-915 lb steers were also on offer. Supply was moderate. High corn and a demoralizing fed cattle trade are negative factors affecting feeder cattle. Fat cattle sold for 118.00 on Tuesday, but that doesn't reflect the value of the product with boxed beef cutout values hovering around $300/cwt for choice. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady.

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.
