As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady. The higher quality cattle that had been weaned and vaccinated found good demand, including a load of 740 lb steers, but overall the quality wasn't as attractive as usual with several consignments of bulls or un-weaned calves offered. Supply was moderate.

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.
