As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly steady but there were some spots uneven from 5.00 higher on steer calves to 5.00-8.00 lower off the top of the trading range on heifer calves. Demand was moderate to good with buyers being pretty selective on quality and the slightly plainer cattle didn't see quite as much demand. Supply was moderate. Slaughter cows sold firm to 5.00 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.
