Compared to the more accurate test from two weeks ago, as last weeks post holiday sale was light, steer and heifer calves were lightly tested but sold steady to 5.00 lower. The majority of the sale was made up of loads and strings of yearlings weighing over 600 lbs which traded steady, except for the 600-650 lb steers selling 5.00-8.00 lower. Demand was good as the quality was attractive throughout the day and the larger groups and runs of green yearlings that were offered will be harder to find as summer comes to an end. The trend of the futures market has been lower for the last week or more, which has taken some optimism out of the market, but cattle bounced back on Tuesday with good gains. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady.

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.
