As filed

Compared to the auction from two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers 10.00-20.00 higher. Demand was very good with the yearling cattle recovering everything they lost about a month ago, and are now back to bumping record highs. June has been very wet in Northeast Missouri with rivers flooding some of the bottom ground and the hay harvest is at a complete standstill.

16 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $515.25, low $432.68, median $469.95 across 16 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
