As filed

Compared to last week, the steers and a portion of the heifers sold steady to 10.00 lower. The exception was on the heifers weighing 500 to 800 lbs. that sold 10.00 higher. Quality and condition are key factors in the marketplace, currently, as we enter the season of fluctuating temperatures. The slaughter cows sold 2.00 to 5.00 lower and the slaughter bulls sold 7.00 to 10.00 lower. Supply was moderate and demand was good.

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.
