As filed

Compared to last week, a lighter test of calves under 625 lbs sold mostly 3.00-10.00 lower and yearlings sold steady to 5.00 lower. Supply and demand were moderate. Cattle futures were down hard again Tuesday and it gave a sobering mood to the market following a long period of trending higher. A nice offering of yearlings was on hand but the calf quality didn't quite match last week. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 3.00 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.
