As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold mostly 3.00-8.00 lower, spots 10.00 lower with more backgrounded cattle carrying a little flesh than grass steers on hand this week and not the large quality groups weighing from 550-700 lbs seen last week. Heifers sold mostly steady with a nice offering of 600-750 lb yearlings. Demand was good for the yearling heifers and moderate for most everything else. Several consignments of calves coming off the cow were in town as well with the males mostly bulls. Corn was higher and feeder cattle lower Tuesday. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-5.00 lower when compared to two weeks ago, bulls steady.

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.
