As filed

Compared to last week, steers under 700lbs sold steady to 2.00 higher, except 500 - 550lb steers that traded up to 10.00 higher. Steers over 700lbs were not well tested. Heifers under 600lbs traded unevenly steady from 3.00 lower to 4.00 higher and heifers over 600lbs had little to compare to last week. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady. Demand was good for all classes in the offering on a moderate supply.

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.
