Compared to last week, steer calves traded 2.00-4.00 higher while heifer calves traded uneven from 2.00 lower to 2.00 higher. Yearling steers and heifers traded 2.00-3.00 higher. Demand was good on a heavy supply, including several drafts of yearlings. Higher cattle futures and sharply lower corn futures helped to generate more interest in yearling calves. The USDA's Cattle on Feed report released Friday reported Inventories 5 percent higher with Placements 27 percent higher and Marketings 33 percent higher, when compared to last years pandemic influenced numbers.

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.
