As filed

Compared to last week, the majority of steers under 800 lbs sold 5.00-10.00 higher and those over 800 lbs 3.00-5.00 higher to catch up to the prices seen two weeks ago with the excellent quality and condition of the cattle being the driving force behind the higher market. Heifers sold firm to 3.00 higher. Demand was good for a heavy supply as dry conditions are bringing cattle to town sooner than normal in some cases with noticeably more calves in the offering this week.

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.
