Compared to last week's higher market, steer calves under 650 lbs lost the gains from last week and sold 5.00-15.00 lower but steers over 650 lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher. Heifers followed a similar trend with the calves under 600 lbs 5.00-10.00 lower and heavier weights steady. Demand was good and the market was active with several attractive groups of mostly calves and a few consignments of yearlings. Supply was heavy.

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.
