Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves traded steady to 4.00 lower. Yearling steers traded 5.00 lower. Demand was good, especially on long-time weaned and vaccinated calves. The supply was moderate and included a 230 hd draft of 918 lbs. steers which brought 5.50 less than a comparable draft last week. As we begin "National Sick Calf Month", short-weaned or unweaned calves without shots were sharply discounted. There was an above average number of bawling calves and bull calves in the offering. Feeder Cattle futures traded lower while Live Cattle futures traded mixed as Corn futures traded higher.

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.
