As filed

Compared to the last sale, On a very active market, buyers showed good demand for all classes of cattle on a moderate supply. No recent comparables for today's auction but the futures trading market is bouncing back and has shown a positive trend from the previous weeks. Warm temps have eased up a bit allowing more cattle to be moved and marketed. There was good demand on the slaughter cows and bulls as well.

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.
