Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold steady to 5.00 lower but with a few spots up to 5.00 higher on the calves under 600 lbs, and the 400-450 lb heifer calves sold 10.00-15.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good. Another week of volatility in the futures market led to a slightly lower cash trade. The majority of the calves were weaned and vaccinated but there were several carrying some fleshy with the mild temperatures we have experienced this fall. Supply was heavy. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 lower.

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.
