As filed

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves traded steady to 3.00 higher. Demand was moderate on a moderate supply. Yearlings were not well tested, however undertones were steady to firm. Mild weather and sun across the area has brought local buyers to the barn in search of Peewee and stocker calves.

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.
