As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to spots 5.00 higher. There was quite a bit of variety in the cattle which is typical this time of the year for this part of the country. Some hard weaned stocker type cattle ready to turn out were on hand along with some loads of yearlings and then several new crop calves with some weaned and some not. However, demand was good for nearly all the cattle. Supply was moderate. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower.

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.
