As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly steady but with spots from 5.00 higher to 5.00 lower. Some long weaned, calf weight yearling's sold with a higher undertone along with a handful of 4 weight steers. Demand was good for a nice run of mostly yearlings. The calves saw good demand as well, there just hasn't been too many of them showing up just yet on a year where the spring calf crop numbers are assumed lower. Supply was moderate. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 higher.

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.
