As filed

Compared to the last sale three weeks ago, the majority of steers sold 3.00-8.00 higher, except for the 600-650 lb weight range selling mostly steady. Heifers sold steady to 3.00 higher except for the 500-600 lbs weight range selling 5.00-7.00 higher. Trade was active and demand was good with a few extra buyers in the seats following the long break. Supply was moderate to heavy with some really nice drying weather to move cattle. Slaughter cows and bulls sold with a firm to higher undertone when compared to a light test from three weeks ago.

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.
