As filed

Compared to the most recent feeder sale last friday which was a value added yearling special, steers of similar quality over 450lbs sold with a mostly steady undertone, except 550lb to 650lb steers which sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Heifers sold steady to 10.00 lower. Even with Friday's yearling special, many high quality weaned calves and yearlings were in town, as well as many high quality unweaned calves. Demand was very good on another heavier than expected run for the first few sales of the new year.

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.
