Compared to last week, steer calves under 650 lbs sold mostly 4.00-7.00 higher and those over 650 lbs steady. Heifers traded firm to 4.00 higher. The exception to the previous trends were the calves under 450 lbs selling mostly 10.00-13.00 higher on very good demand. Trade was active and demand was good to very good with a full house of buyers in the seats. Mostly good quality calves with just a few yearlings in the mix, however some long weaned stocker type cattle under 575 lbs in attractive condition were offered. Supply was moderate. Slaughter cows sold mostly 3.00-6.00 higher, spots up to 8.00 higher on some of the high dressing fleshy cows.

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.
