As filed

Compared to last week, a lighter run didn't offer many true comparison but steers and heifers sold mostly steady. Mostly smaller packages of calves offered with several just off the cow and the males still bulls. Demand was moderate for a light supply. Slaughter cows sold uneven again this week with the boning cows selling steady but the lean and fleshy breaking cows sold 4.00-8.00 lower.

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.
