Compared to last week, steer calves under 600 lbs. traded steady to 2.00 higher while stocker and yearling steers over 600 lbs. traded 2.00-3.00 lower. Heifer calves under 550 lbs. traded 4.00-6.00 higher while heavier weight heifers traded steady to 2.00 lower. Demand was good on a moderate supply. The USDA's Cattle Inventory report was released Friday showing that total head of all cattle and calves was slightly below a year ago. Following revisions of the 2019 report the USDA reported that the 2020 Calf Crop decreased by 1.9 percent with 73 percent of the calves being born the first half of the year and 27 percent being born in the second half.

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.
