Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers traded unevenly steady from 2.00 lower to 2.00 higher. Demand was moderate on a very heavy supply. For the past two weeks ORS has had receipts over 5000 head through the ring which is rare except for Special PreVac Sales and Summer yearling runs. Sellers are playing catch up as depressed prices through October kept them home in hopes of better prices. Stronger cash prices have brought some to town but the recent bill from the County Collector has brought many more.

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.
