The Cattleman's Advocate newspaper is printed monthly and started out being mailed free of charge to customers and friends of Eastern Missouri Commission Company (EMCC), as well as distributed to many feed stores and gathering points in our trade area of Eastern Missouri and Western Illinois. Its growth and popularity resulted in the need to charge a reasonable subscription fee to cover some of the production and distribution costs. It is still the primary news and information source used to contact all of EMCC's many buying and selling customers. 
 
Direct mail circulation is currently about 3,600 papers to subscribers and about 100 free pickup locations in an area from west of Boonville to western Illinois, and from north Missouri down to the St. Louis area. Another 500 or so papers are distributed by hand at various locations in Bowling Green, Boonville and Centralia.
