As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves sold steady to 3.00 higher except those weighing 450-500 lbs trading 5.00-10.00 higher on increased demand while the heavier cattle weighing over 700 lbs sold steady to 4.00 lower. Heifers sold steady to 3.00 lower except for a light test of calves under 450 lbs selling with a firm to higher undertone. Demand was good to very good and the quality was attractive all day with reputation cattle coming through the ring. Supply was heavy. Market fundamentals appear strong, demand is good for feeder cattle and most have an optimistic outlook for the cattle market but feed cost are also much higher than they've been for several years. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher.

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.
