Compared to last week, steer calves less than 500 lbs traded steady to weak while heavier weights and yearlings traded steady to 3.00 higher. Heifer calves less than 550 lbs traded 2.00-4.00 higher with heavier weights steady to firm. Demand was good on a heavy supply. The USDA's Cattle on Feed report was released Friday and reported that compared to a year ago, Inventories were 5 percent lower, Placements 22 percent lower and Marketings 24 percent lower. The report was seen as neutral since numbers were close to expectations.

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.
