As filed

Compared to the sale 2 weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers sold 5.00 to 20.00 higher with some spots higher with the more attractive calves. There was very good demand on a good supply of feeders, with many of the feeders being weaned and vaccinated. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher.

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.
