As filed

No recent good price test as the last sale was two weeks ago and the receipts were light. Demand good and supply heavy.

Producers took advantage of the mild weather to market their calves and yearlings. Quality ran deep as drafts of calves and yearlings hit the sale ring.

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.
