As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly steady except for several loads of 850-900 lb high quality yearling steers trading 3.00-6.00 higher. Demand was good for a moderate to heavy supply which included over 10 loads of yearlings that saw active bidding. The un-weaned calves offered saw little discount if they were of good quality and not overly fleshy. Although spring has been off to a slow start, farmers are starting to make some progress planting corn in this area over the last week or so. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 2.00-5.00 lower.

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.
