As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves gained back the losses from last week and sold 10.00-20.00 higher and the yearling steers sold firm to 5.00 higher. Heifer calves sold steady to 10.00 higher and yearlings weren't well tested last week but sold with a weak undertone to the sales from two weeks ago. Demand was good to very good as buyers shook off some bearishness and were more aggressive following last week's holiday shortened week. Supply was moderate to heavy and the quality was attractive. Slaughter cows sold steady to 4.00 lower, bulls steady to 3.00 higher.

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.
