Compared to last week, steer calves under 750 traded mostly steady with spots 4.00 higher while heavier weight steers traded 2.00-4.00 lower. Heifer calves traded steady to 3.00 lower. Demand was moderate on a very heavy supply. Traditionally 11,000-14,000 feeders are sold the first two weeks of the new year at ORS, however they are normally spread out over 3 sales. This year, because of the way the New Years Day fell, the receipts have been spread out over only two sales resulting in very high volume sales.

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.
