As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher except for some fancier light weight steers under 525 lbs and a load of yearling heifers coming off grass selling with a higher undertone. Demand was good for a quality run of calves and yearlings with some bigger groups of calves this week. Supply was moderate. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to firm.

Slaughter cattle

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.
