As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold steady to 6.00 higher with most of the gain on the 600-700 lb weight range and heifers sold steady to 3.00 higher except for the 450-500 lb heifers trading up to 10.00 higher on increased demand. Demand was good to very good with a full house of buyers in the seats. Supply was heavy as producers are taking advantage of the warm, dry weather to market cattle before years end. Slaughter cows sold steady.

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.
