As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers under 700 lbs sold 5.00-15.00 higher, spots 20.00 higher with some nice consignments of long weaned cattle offered to push the market along, heavier weights mostly steady. Demand was good to very good for a moderate to heavy supply with another large offering of cows and pulled off of some of those cows were several light weight spring born calves weighing mostly 200-325 lbs. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-3.00 higher.

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.
