As filed

Compared to a more accurate test from two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold steady to 3.00 higher. Supply was moderate to heavy with nice weather to move cattle. Several groups of hard weaned, stocker type cattle were offered that found good demand. The un-weaned calves, plainer kind, or yearlings steers over 750 lbs saw moderate demand. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 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.
