As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 6.00 higher with most of the gain on those over 600 lbs as an attractive run of yearlings was offered. In contrast to last weeks run of calves, it was mostly long weaned cattle this week. Demand was good for a moderate to heavy supply that included several loads lots stemming mainly from one large consignment. Fewer of the fancy calves under 500 lbs were offered, so some of last weeks top prices weren't quite achieved, but demand was still very good for those cattle. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-5.00 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.
