As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold uneven but most weight ranges sold steady to 5.00 lower with an exception for a few large groups of grazing cattle that were stick out sales selling higher, but also the 650-750 lb steers sold 5.00-10.00 lower with spots 15.00 lower. Heifers sold uneven as well, mostly from steady to 5.00 higher for the calves to steady to 5.00 lower for the yearlings. Demand was good for a heavy supply and the quality was mostly attractive with several loads of home raised calves and yearlings. A lower futures market for most of the last week and the highest cattle prices ever seen has led to some concern the market has topped for now and brought on some slight moderation. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady.

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.
