As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers sold mostly 4.00 to 10.00 higher with spots up to 15.00 higher and feeder heifers were steady to 6.00 higher based on limited receipts last sale. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Supply was moderate with good demand for the feeder and slaughter offering. A few herd dispersals were included in the replacement cattle offering that brought high quality pairs, bred cows, and a few bred heifers to town that had very good demand from buyers ringside.

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.
