As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly steady except for some of the higher quality consignments that were weaned and vaccinated sold with a firm undertone, but then on the flip side, fleshy heifers over 550 lbs found light demand and sold 5.00 to spots 15.00 lower. Supply and demand were moderate. A good portion of the calves came to town unweaned and the quality was mixed. Slaughter cows sold with a weak to lower undertone.

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.
