As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves under 600 lbs traded 5.00-10.00 higher and those over 600 lbs sold steady. Heifer calves under 550 lbs traded firm to 5.00 higher and heavier weights sold steady to 3.00 lower. Demand was good to very good for a moderate supply. Despite the volatility in the futures markets, buyers were aggressively pursuing cattle and the market held up very well in the face of sharply higher corn and lower feeder cattle futures contracts. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-3.00 higher.

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.
