Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves traded unevenly steady from 2.00 lower to 2.00 higher with spots 5.00 higher. Yearling steers and heifers traded 3.00-4.00 higher. Demand was good on a very heavy supply. Producers took advantage of the warmer and drier weather to bring cattle to town in record numbers.

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.
