As filed

Compared to last week, the majority of the steers offered were yearlings weighing over 600 lbs and those weighing from 600-800 lbs traded steady while the heavier weight steers gained back last weeks losses and sold 5.00-8.00 higher. Yearling heifers sold steady to 3.00 higher and a light test of steer and heifer calves under 550 lbs sold with a firm to higher undertone. Demand was good for a moderate supply. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 2.00-5.00 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.
