As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 lower. Demand was moderate to light on a moderate supply with many small drafts of short weaned and lower quality calves on offer this week compared to last. Slaughter cows sold steady to 4.00 lower and slaughter bulls were steady. A few groups of quality replacements were included in the offering this evening that created good demand.

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.
