As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly 3.00 to 8.00 higher with spots up to 12.00 higher. A high quality run of long weaned and vaccinated cattle this week that created good demand on a moderate to heavy supply. Slaughter cows and bulls were mostly steady on a moderate supply with moderate demand.

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.
