Eastern Missouri Livestock Auction
AUGUST 8, 2025 • Bowling Green, Mo.
Receipts: 1171; Last Week: 385; Year Ago: 1037
Friday's auction had no recent comparison with calves and yearlings as going back 4 weeks ago weight ranges didn't match up well with this week's auction, with a much larger offering of yearlings, but the undertone was sharply higher on all weights that was offered. Demand was good on the calves and yearlings on a moderate supply. Several stick out sales included 90 Large Frame heifers weighing 1035 lbs at 267.75, 49 heifers weighing 638 lbs at 374.50, 41 hd of steers weighing 776 lbs at 360.25 and pot load steers weighing 863 lbs at 336.00. Slaughter cows on a lighter offering sold mostly steady with the bulk average dressing cows. Supply included: 87% Feeder Cattle (44% Steers, 42% Heifers, 14% Bulls); 13% Slaughter Cattle (2% Heifers, 78% Cows, 20% Bulls). Feeder cattle supply over 600 lbs was 67%.

Compared to last week: Feeder steers very uneven and mostly steady, over 800 lbs 3.00 lower. Some better quality type steers cruising past last week's tops but lesser quality seeing some discounts. Feeder heifers steady to 3.00 lower. Steer calves steady. Heifer calves steady to 5.00 lower. Demand moderate to good. Buyers remain somewhat cautious as cattle futures can't seem to find a direction. Quality mostly average. Some un-weaned calves selling at the top of the price spread but these also of better quality. Cooler temperatures over the weekend with rain showers around but the mid to upper 90's will be back this week. Supply included: 100% Feeder Cattle (65% Steers, 32% Heifers, 3% Bulls). Feeder cattle supply over 600 lbs was 71%.
