Demand was good for a moderate supply that included yearlings, fall born calves and some hard weaned calf weight yearlings. Replacement heifers found good demand once again this week as well. 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.
