As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves sold mostly steady while heifers calves sold 5.00-10.00 higher and a nice offering of yearlings sold 2.00-6.00 higher. Demand was good to very good for yearlings and calves on a moderate supply. The calf run consisted of mostly new crops but the discounts for un-weaned calves or those carrying some flesh was minimal with favorable market conditions and buyers eager to own cattle. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 2.00 higher.

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.
