Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves sold 3.00-6.00 lower with spots 10.00 lower. Yearlings were not well tested. Demand was light on a moderate supply. The Cattle Futures traded sharply lower today, putting the brakes on the cash feeder market. Quality was average at best with the largest draft 42 head and only 8 drafts of 20 head or more. However total receipts were the largest since September.

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.
