As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves under 550 lbs sold 3.00-5.00 higher and a light test of heavier weights sold steady. Heifer calves under 550 lbs sold sold steady and heavier weights steady to 4.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good, best for the grazing calves. Once again this week, several of the higher quality calves were un-weaned but still saw good demand. Supply was moderate to heavy. Some extremely nice weather allowed cattle to make their way to town and farmers have been able to do some fieldwork. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady.

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.
