Special Note: Mid Missouri Stockyards will hold a replacement cattle special Saturday, November 9th at 6:00 pm

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly 3.00 to 7.00 higher on the more attractive weaned calves. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly steady. Supply was light, some weight classes showed no comparisons from last week. Demand was moderate to good.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $501.78, low $364.36, median $447.56 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
