Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves under 600 lbs. sold 3.00-6.00 lower. Heavier weight feeders sold 2.00-4.00 higher. Demand was moderate on a heavy supply. Quality was below average with a lot of colored up cattle in the offering. Receipts continue to run higher than normal as the lack of rain is effecting both hay yields and pasture conditions. Cattle futures began the day lower but rallied to close higher as corn futures traded mixed. A stick out draft of 93 head of 831 lb. steers sold at 226.00/cwt. almost 2.00 higher than a comparable draft last week.

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.
