Compared to last week, steer calves traded steady to 3.00 higher with spots 7.00 higher. Heifer calves traded 3.00-6.00 higher. Demand was very good on a heavy supply. Several multi-pot load drafts of 5 and 6 weight calves from reputation herds were in the offering. This week was the largest volume for a Tuesday sale since June 2018, as many held off as long as they could to sell their calves. March and April receipts were 52 percent less than a year ago while May's receipts, including today, are up 38 percent.

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.
