Compared to the last well tested market of three weeks ago, steer calves traded 6.00-9.00 higher with spots 15.00 higher. Heifer calves traded 4.00-8.00 higher. Yearling steers traded steady while yearling heifers were not well tested. Demand was very good on a heavy supply. Ozarks Regional Stockyard started off the New Year with a Tuesday regular sale combined with a special weaned and pre-vaccinated feeder sale. Quality was above average with several large packages of long-time weaned calves from reputation herds.

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.
