As filed

Compared to last weeks higher market, steers weighing over 500 lbs traded steady to 5.00 lower with smaller packages offered and more variance in quality than last weeks large consignment of yearling steers and 400-500 lb steer calves sold 5.00-10.00 lower but still with very good demand. Heifers sold slightly uneven with those under 650 lbs steady to 5.00 lower and some yearlings heifers weighing 650-750 selling steady to 5.00 higher. Overall, demand was good with still a nice mix of yearlings and calves on offer. Corn has been moving higher the last several days nearing the $6.00 a bushel mark which has pressured feeder cattle lower on the board. Supply was moderate to heavy for this time of year with the fields still to wet to do much and cool weather to move cattle. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 2.00-4.00 lower.

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.
