As filed

Compared to last week, steers under 600lbs sold 15.00 to 35.00 higher, and heavier weights had few to compare to last week but sold with a firm undertone. Heifers sold mostly 20.00 to 40.00 higher, also based on limited comparisons from last week. This was a calf and yearling wean-vac special sale, and many consignments of high quality stock came to town and found very good demand.

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.
