*CLOSE*

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves traded uneven from 3.00 lower to 3.00 higher. Yearling steers traded 2.00-4.00 higher while yearling heifers were not well tested. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Demand improved throughout the day especially on thin to moderately fleshed calves. The market was active as fat cattle cash prices surpassed $120 for the first time in over a year and boxed beef cutout values continued to make big gains.

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.
