As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers under 700lbs sold steady to 10.00 lower based on limited comparisons from last week. Another volatile week in the feeder cattle futures board led to some mixed demand, light for plain quality calves, and good demand for the high quality, good conditioned calves in the offering. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly 3.00 to 6.00 lower.

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.
