As filed

Compared to last week, pee-wee calves under 450lbs sold with a sharply higher undertone and heavier weights sold mostly 4.00 to 16.00 higher. The best test of 450lb to 600lb heifers sold 3.00 to 12.00 higher, and other weights sold with a steady to firm undertone. Demand was very good for this wean-vac yearling special on a moderate to heavy 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.
