Compared to last week, steer calves under 550 lbs. traded steady to 4.00 lower with heavier weights including yearlings trading 3.00-5.00 higher. Heifer calves under 550 lbs. traded steady to 4.00 higher with heavier weights mostly steady. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Last week's USDA Cattle on Feed report reported Inventories were up 4 percent, Placements up 9 percent, and Marketing down 3 percent compared to a month ago. A cool front brought in much needed moisture, for parts of the area, as well as dropping morning temperatures into the 40's.

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.
