Friday's auction at Eastern Missouri Commission Co. had very light feeder cattle receipts going into the Labor Day weekend, with a Feeder Special scheduled for next Friday. Slaughter cows and slaughter steers and heifers sold steady to firm with last week's auction on a nice offering.

One grade step is worth $14.57/cwt here — about −$43 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.
