Eastern Missouri Livestock Auction

Receipts: 893; Last Week: 2422; Year Ago: 601
   Compared to last week, a very light test of feeder cattle sold with a steady to firm undertone on a few comparable sales as slaughter steers and heifers (18 percent) and slaughter cows (32 percent) accounted for 50 percent of the total receipts. Demand was moderate to good with supply light. A nice offering of slaughter cows traded steady to $2.00 higher. Fed cattle trade this week was $7.00-10.00 higher giving support to the market but CME cattle futures sold off sharply at the end of the week.
