As filed

Compared to the last sale three weeks ago, steers and heifers sold mostly steady. Demand was good to very good. A heavy supply of mainly long weaned, reputation calves was offered following the long break. Slaughter cows sold 10.00-15.00 higher as the lull in sales over the last few weeks has plants in need of cows.

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.
