As filed

Compared to a more accurate test from two weeks ago, as last weeks sale was lighter due to the holiday, steers sold steady to 3.00 higher and heifers traded steady to 5.00 higher. A quality run of yearlings and calves was offered with several long weaned, green conditioned cattle in the offering and many straight loads of yearlings. Demand was good to very good. Supply was moderate to heavy. Despite cattle futures mostly lower so far this week, buyers have confidence in the market with fat cattle trading up to $1.40 last week and feeder cattle contracts holding some impressive prices for spring and summer. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 3.00-5.00 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.
