Compared to last week, steer calves under 700 lbs. traded unevenly steady while heifers calves under 700 lbs. traded steady. Steers and heifers over 700 lbs. traded steady to 3.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Calves, for the most part, maintained the big price jump that they experienced last week. The market was active but not as brisk as we saw last week, due to fewer buyers ringside, with some leaving after filling smaller orders than they had last week.

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.
