As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold uneven with the majority of steers selling steady to 5.00 lower but the calves weighing 500-600 lbs sold 5.00-15.00 lower with few weaned longer than 30 days. Heifer calves that were weaned saw just the opposite with better demand than their brothers and sold 5.00-10.00 higher with spots up to 15.00 higher while the yearlings sold steady. The un-weaned or shorter weaned calves and those carrying flesh saw sharp discounts when compared to the long weaned calves and yearlings. Demand was moderate to good, but the un-weaned calves saw light to moderate demand with a big cold front coming through with some moisture the middle part of the week to create a pretty good recipe for a sick calf. Supply was moderate. Slaughter cows sold 5.00-7.00 lower when compared to the last reported cow market two weeks ago.

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.
