Compared to last week, steer calves under 600 lbs. traded 3.00-6.00 higher while heavier weights traded steady to 3.00 higher. Heifer calves traded steady to 4.00 higher. Demand was very good on a moderate to heavy supply. With several weeks of sub-freezing mornings past us, there has been an increased demand for light weight calves with 3 and 4 weight steers in the 2.00+ range and 2.00 knocking on the 5 weight's door. Yearlings are in high demand with those that can be found bringing per cwt. prices similar to 6 weight calves.

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.
