Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves under 700 lbs. traded 2.00-4.00 lower while heavier weight calves traded steady to 3.00 higher. Demand was moderate on a moderate supply. Unweaned and short-weaned calves continue to be heavily discounted with buyers concerned about death losses and health care costs. The USDA's Cattle on Feed Report released last week had Inventories 1 percent lower, Placements 2 percent higher and Marketings slightly below last year.

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.
