As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly steady despite there being some spots where the highs last week weren't reached but part of that is due to their being fewer hard weaned cattle offered each week replaced by more soft, short weaned calves. Demand was good for a moderate supply. Slaughter cows sold 4.00-10.00 lower.

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.
