As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold steady to 15.00 lower with the mid weight steers weighing 600-725 lbs and the heifer calves under 600 lbs holding up the best. Overall, the market was more uneven with buyers getting pickier on quality and condition. Demand was moderate to good for a moderate supply that offered several loads and packages of yearlings with a few groups of calves mixed in. Cattle futures were sharply lower on Tuesday with most feeder cattle contracts limit down, resulting in the slight adjustment of prices Wednesday. Despite a lower trend, the market is still impressive. Slaughter cows sold 1.00-3.00 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.
