As filed

Compared to last week, based on limited comparisons, steers and heifers sold mostly 5.00 to 15.00 higher. This was a value added calf and yearling special sale, and quality ran high throughout the day with many consignments of long weaned and vaccinated calves and yearlings. Despite hot temperatures outside, demand was very good on a heavy supply.

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.
