Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves under 700 lbs. sold unevenly steady while heavier weight feeders sold 3.00-5.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Cattle Futures traded higher as Corn Futures traded sharply lower. Some isolated rains overnight helped pasture conditions with more thunderstorms predicted the rest of the week, as heat and humidity has moved into the area.

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.
