As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold 3.00-10.00 higher. Demand was good to very good for a moderate supply that included several reputation consignments of weaned calves and some of the top prices were achieved near the end of the day as buyers finished up loads. Corn continued lower on Wednesday with July down hard and December new crop closing under $5.00/bushel. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 higher.

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.
