As filed

Eastern Mo. Commission Co. had a large offering of calves and yearlings as producers had held off the last several weeks due to weather conditions with recent auctions having too few feeders for a good comparison, with the last auction with similar comparisons was 4 weeks ago with 500-750 lb steers trading mostly steady to firm. Heifers weighing 500-700 lbs sold with a slightly lower undertone. Quality was very good especially on the steers weighing 500-750 lbs and heifers weighing 500-650 lbs all sold on a very active market despite a much higher grain market over the last several weeks. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm.

22 sales

Steers 0–100 lb: high $259.77, low $224.09, median $243.68 across 22 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
