As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady except for a few packages of weaned steers weighing 475-575 lbs selling 5.00-10.00 higher. The feeder offering didn't match the high quality from last week but some nice consignments were offered that saw moderate to good demand despite the extremely hot weather. Several of the cattle were in town due to the drought, including a large run of cows. Supply was moderate to heavy. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 higher.

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.
