As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 lower with the decline on cattle over 500 lbs. A heavy supply was offered that included several reputation strings of mostly weaned calves. Despite large supplies of cattle moving the last couple weeks, demand remained moderate to good, best for grazing calves. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 lower.

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.
