As filed

Friday's auction at Eastern Missouri Commission Co. had very light feeder cattle receipts going into the Labor Day weekend, with a Feeder Special scheduled for next Friday. Slaughter cows and slaughter steers and heifers sold steady to firm with last week's auction on a nice offering.

Heifers 0–100 lb: high $262.69, low $218.12, median $248.48 across 13 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
