As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers traded mostly steady. There were some reputation consignments of cattle on offer that saw good demand but also quite a few smaller packages of plainer calves and bulls that didn't quite match up in quality. Supply was heavy with the warm, dry weather and the last couple Thursday's being affected by winter precipitation. Corn took another big jump higher this week and put negative pressure on the yearlings. Demand was good for the higher quality cattle in attractive condition and moderate for those carrying flesh and the plainer kind. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 higher.

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.
