As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold steady to 10.00 lower. Heifer calves sold mostly 10.00-15.00 lower and yearling heifers sold 3.00-10.00 lower. Buyers have backed off a touch after pushing to last week's highs. However, the prices are still handsome and producers were happy to reap the benefits of the market. Supply was moderate to heavy and demand was good.

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.
