As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold mostly 20.00 to 30.00 higher, and heifers were 15.00 to 25.00 higher based on limited comparisons from last week's lighter run. Today was a calf and yearling wean-vac special, and there were plenty of high quality consignments of long time weaned yearling cattle with multiple rounds of shots, that created very good demand on a heavy supply. The offering also included a large, high quality run of dairy steers this week.

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.
