Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers 450 to 800 lbs steady to 5.00 higher, too few steer calves under 450 lbs last week for a good price comparison, undertone higher, over 800 lbs not well tested, undertone lower, heifers 2.00 to 8.00 higher, except 500 weights steady.

Demand good, supply moderate.

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.
