As filed

Compared to last week, the best tested weights of steers traded 6.00-10.00 higher including a much larger offering of steers weighing over 650 lbs, a few spots traded steady but still at impressive price levels. Heifer calves under 550 lbs followed a similar trend trading 5.00-10.00 higher with the most advance on the 475-525 lb weight range and those over 550 lbs sold firm to 4.00 higher. The quality was attractive and demand was good to very good. Supply was heavy with frozen, solid ground and sunshine making for nice weather to move cattle. Slaughter cows sold 10.00-12.00 higher on very active trade with an additional buyer present.

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.
