As filed

Compared to last week, steers under 500 lbs and heifers under 600 lbs steady to 5.00 lower, steers 500 to 850 lbs 4.00 to 6.00 lower, over 850 lbs steady, heifers 600 to 800 lbs 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Demand moderate, supply heavy. The large numbers of Feeder cattle moving to market are filling up receiving pens, leaving less room everyday for new arrivals.

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.
