As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves under 650 lbs sold 5.00-15.00 higher and those over 650 lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher. Heifer calves under 550 lbs sold 5.00-20.00 higher and heavier weights sold mostly steady. Demand was good for a heavy supply. The biggest run of the fall/winter season so far featured several groups of reputation calves and loads of yearlings as favorable weather and market conditions allowed producers an opportunity to market cattle before the end of the year.

How this sale compares

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.
