Compared to last week, steers sold 7.00 to 14.00 higher with some spots up to 20.00 higher. Heifers sold mostly 3.00 to 8.00 higher with spots up to 15.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold 6.00 to 12.00 higher and slaughter bulls 7.00 to 16.00 higher. A very active market today at the Mid Missouri Stockyards with many bidders and buyers present and ready to fill orders. Demand was very good for all classes on a moderate supply.
