As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold mostly 8.00 to 18.00 higher with spots up to 27.00 higher. Heifers under 550lbs were 7.00 to 15.00 higher and heavier weights sold with a steady undertone. Many more unweaned calves on offer this week, but overall a higher quality offering of calves weaned or unweaned, along with some attractive small groups of yearlings. Demand was very good on a moderate supply.

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.
