Compared to last week, a much larger offering this week with steer calves under 550 lbs lightly tested with 450-500 lb selling with a firm to higher undertone, 550-600 lb steers sold 5.00-10.00 higher with 600-650 lb steers and 600-750 lb heifers all trading with a sharply higher undertone on limited supply from last week, feeder steers weighing 700-900 lbs sold with a firm to higher undertone. Heifer calves weighing 400-500 lbs sold steady to firm with 500-600 lb heifer calves selling 10.00-20.00 higher and two pot loads of 971 lb heifers off the same consignment as last week and weighing nearly the same sold near 4.00 lower. Demand was good on a moderate supply with the bulk of the feeder steers weighing 600-900 lbs with good overall quality as well on the heifers. Slaughter steers and heifers sold steady to firm with slaughter cows trading steady. Eastern MO Commission will hold their 3rd annual Border Wars Auctioneering Contest Friday March 13, 2026.
