As filed

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves steady, yearlings steady, except steers over 800 lbs had few comparisons, undertone higher. No recent test of Holsteins for a price comparison. Demand moderate to good, supply moderate. Live Cattle and Feeder Cattle futures closed with positive gains and Slaughter steers and heifers trading several dollars higher than a week ago.

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.
