As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves under 550 lbs sold 5.00-10.00 lower while heavier weights of steers and all weights of heifers sold mostly steady. The fall calf run is still in the early stages but those producers who don't plan on weaning are bringing calves to town and several consignments are not weaned, no shots and still bulls. The board was in a free fall Tuesday and lower again Wednesday, so buyers have backed up a little. Demand was moderate for a moderate supply. Slaughter cows sold 1.00-3.00 lower.

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.
