As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly steady. Demand was good for a moderate supply with a nice offering of yearling heifers from a few different consignors highlighting the sale. Cattle futures came roaring back along with the stock market Wednesday afternoon after the announcement of a pause on some tariffs. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 2.00 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.
