As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold steady to 6.00 higher with the advance on those over 600 lbs. Heifers sold slightly uneven with calves under 600 lbs selling 3.00-5.00 lower, over 600 lbs mostly steady except for two loads of 715 lb heifers trading with a higher undertone but nothing recent to compare to. Demand was good for a moderate supply highlighted by 8 loads of yearlings, but the fleshier un-weaned calves under 600 lbs saw noticeably lighter demand as we head into the middle of summer. Both Live and Feeder Cattle futures had a positive day Tuesday while corn was lower, helping push the loads of yearlings higher. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-3.00 lower, bulls 5.00 lower.

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.
