As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers under 650lbs traded 2.00 to 8.00 higher and steers over 650lbs had little to compare to last week but traded with mostly steady undertones. Feeder heifers traded unevenly steady from 2.00 lower to 4.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly steady. Demand was good for all classes on a moderate supply.

Slaughter cattle

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.
