*CLOSE*

Compared to last week, the bulk of the feeder steers traded 3.00-6.00 lower with the exception of some seven weight steers trading 1.00 higher. Feeder heifers 400-600 lbs. traded 1.00-3.00 lower, six weight heifers traded 2.00 higher while other weights were not well tested. Demand was moderate on a moderate supply. Following a three day weekend the future board for feeder cattle closed with near by contracts slightly lower and out fronts 1.00-2.00 higher. Live cattle futures closed mixed. Buyers were keeping a close eye on Corn futures which closed down 5 cents at 5.26. With higher feed costs now and in the future, buyers were looking to make their profit at the time of purchase.

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.
