Compared to last week, steer calves 550-700 lbs traded steady to 4.00 higher with other weights unevenly steady. Heifer calves under 700 lbs traded steady with heavier weights not well tested. Demand was good early and moderated throughout the day. The supply was moderate with most of the offering presented in single or small packages.

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.
