Compared to last week, steer calves under 650 lbs. traded steady with heavier weights 2.00-3.00 lower. Yearling steers traded steady to firm. Lightly tested heifer calves traded 2.00-4.00 lower. Demand was good on long-time weaned and vaccinated calves as well as yearling steers. The supply was moderate and included a few pot-load drafts of yearlings including one draft of 228 head of steers. Scattered frost on Monday morning and predicted highs in the 80's this week, has buyers being very selective with their purchases. Thin to average flesh calves, weaned 60 plus days with shots were in high demand. Fleshy, bawling calves were having a difficult time finding a new home.

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.
