Eastern Missouri Livestock Auction
DECEMBER 8, 2023 • Bowling Green, Mo.
Receipts: 2387; Last Week: 1300; Year Ago: 1906
Friday's trading at EMC was the first big special in several weeks with no recent good comparisons on large groups and pot loads of steers and heifers all sold with a lower undertone. There was overall a nice quality offering of calves and yearlings in the offering with several pot loads of yearlings and several large groups of feeders all sold with moderate to good demand. One highlight of the auction was Jacob Massey the 2023 World Champion Auctioneer stopping by to sell most of the afternoon. The market has been dominated over the last two weeks with sharply lower cattle futures as liquidation selling in the cattle futures has made a very nervous market pressuring the feeder cattle prices. Slaughter cows sold steady with last week. Supply included: 85% Feeder Cattle (53% Steers, 47% Heifers, 1% Bulls); 15% Slaughter Cattle (14% Steers, 3% Heifers, 73% Cows, 9% Bulls). Feeder cattle supply over 600 lbs was 61%.
