Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No recent comparisons available for feeders, calves however sold with sharply higher undertones, and loads of heavyweight yearlings sold with steady to firm undertones. Winter seemed to arrive in northern Missouri with a skiff of ice around early on this sale day. Despite the cold outside the market was blazing and producers found a little something extra to be thankful of before turkey (or preferably beef) dinner later this week. The supply was moderate, and demand was good to very good. The colder weather made buyers a touch more forgiving and, in some cases, even willing to overlook the fact some calves were unweaned, as long as they still came with two rounds of shots. A light test of slaughter cows gained back some of last week's losses and sold steady to 5.00 higher.
