Compared to last week, steer calves under 700 lbs. traded steady to 5.00 higher while same weight heifer calves traded 3.00-6.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves over 700 lbs. were not well tested, however undertones were lower. Demand was good on a moderate supply. The first significant snow of the Winter blanketed the Southwest part of the area and had a bigger impact on the pastures than the highways. Much like last week, what started out as a light run turned into a moderate one as single and small packages trickled in throughout the afternoon with very few large drafts in the offering.

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.
