Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Too few steers and heifers last week for a accurate price comparison. Demand moderate to mostly good, supply moderate.

*Note* Missouri Department of Agriculture Market News Service has a new state wide stocker report. The Missouri Stocker Formula is a rolling seven day calculated weighted value which combines all Feeder Steers reported by MDA/USDA Market News Service weighing from 400-649 lbs. in the Medium and Large 1 and Medium and Large 1-2 frame and muscle classifications, including all comment cattle except Brahman X. This new report can be found on the Market News Website at https://agmarketnews.mo.gov/content/missouri- stocker-formula.

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.
