Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves under 700 lbs. traded 10.00-15.00 higher with spots 20.00 higher. Heavier weight steers and heifers traded steady to 4.00 higher. Demand was very good on a moderate supply. After two weeks of weather influenced sales, ORS returned to more normal receipts. The market was very active as an abundance of buyers were ringside looking to fill orders. Trade was brisk throughout the day with top prices reminiscent of 2014.

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.
