As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly steady but there were spots 5.00-10.00 lower than the extreme highs from last week on some calves under 550 lbs. A really nice offering of fall-born calves was on hand offered in moderate sized groups and they found good demand on a moderate supply. The weather has been warmer and dryer for the last few days and some field work is being done again here and there. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady.

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.
