Eastern MO. Commission Co. wrapped up the year with a Special Bred Cow, Heifer and Pairs sale on Friday December 17th with a good offering of near 150 head of good to top quality bred heifers selling with good demand along with several young bred cows mostly 4-6 yrs in the 3rd stage and several groups of young pairs 2-6 yrs of age selling with moderate to good demand. Feeder cattle were lightly tested selling in small groups and lots. Slaughter cows on a nice offering sold fully steady to firm.

One grade step is worth $33.89/cwt here — about $236 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 0–100 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

This barn's trailing prices 0–100 lb

15 sales

Heifers 0–100 lb: high $262.69, low $223.56, median $246.96 across 15 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
