As filed

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves sold mostly 5.00-15.00 higher, yearlings steady to 10.000 higher. Demand was good for a moderate to heavy supply with several reputation consignments of mostly calves but a few groups of yearling were offered as well. Also, there was good demand for breeding type heifers with a few active buyers for those. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower.

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.
