As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher. There was a nice offering of yearlings on hand that sold with very good demand alongside some new crop calves that sold with good demand. Supply was moderate. Quite a bit of fertilizer has been going on hay fields and pastures this week. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 2.00 higher.

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.
