As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 3.00 higher and demand was good. Supply was moderate to heavy following the holiday last week with dry weather to move cattle and temps warming up. Overall, the quality was good and the majority of cattle were in moderate flesh. Quite a bit of progress has been made in the field over the last week with hay being put up and beans going in the ground as we have the summer type weather most had been hoping for. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly 2.00-4.00 higher.

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.
