As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold 4.00-10.00 lower while heifers sold uneven from 5.00 lower to 5.00-8.00 higher with the gain on those weighing 550-650 lbs. Demand was moderate to mostly good. The market has taken a bit of a stepback from the highs a couple weeks ago with cattle futures and cash fed cattle losing some ground while grains are showing strength. However, the prices are still impressive and market fundamentals remain very positive. Supply was moderate following many weeks of large numbers.

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.
