Demand was good on a moderate supply. Receipts were more typical than last week with the offering consisting of mostly lightweight stocker and feeder calves. The largest draft of the day was 76 head of 701 lb. heifers which brought 242.50/cwt.

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.
