As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves sold steady to 8.00 higher and yearlings sold steady. Heifer calves under 500 lbs sold 10.00-20.00 higher while heavier weights sold steady to 3.00 higher. Demand was good to very good and the quality was excellent with several long strings of reputation cattle and especially some fancy light grazing cattle this week. Supply was heavy.

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.
