As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold mostly 15.00 higher with spots up to 20.00 higher on steer calves under 625 lbs. Heifers sold 5.00-10.00 higher. Demand was good to very good for a heavy supply of long weaned cattle. The nice weather has everyone in a more optimistic mood and a better position to handle newly purchased cattle. The cattle inventory report that came out Wednesday afternoon showed a herd size 2% lower than last year, another bullish signal. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 lower following last week's sharply higher trade.

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.
