As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 6.00 lower with most of the decline on calves. Demand was good for the quality yearlings, but shorter weaned calves and plainer kind found a tougher market and sold with light to moderate demand with some up and down weather forecast. Supply was moderate to heavy and included a mix of yearlings and calves. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady.

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.
