As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold 2.00-7.00 higher and heifer calves sold mostly steady on a lighter test except for the 400-450 lb weight range selling 5.00-10.00 higher. Yearling heifers haven't been well tested the last couple weeks but sold with a higher undertone. Demand was moderate to good for a moderate supply that included several groups and loads of yearlings. Slaughter cows sold 1.00-3.00 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.
