As filed

Eastern MO. Commission last tested sale was four weeks ago and had few good comparisons as last sale two weeks ago was a Special Bred Cow Sale. Steers and heifers under 600 lbs were lightly tested with 600-800 lb steers and 600-700 lb heifers all trading with a sharply higher undertone. Sales included pot load of top quality 753 lb steers and pot load of 660 lb heifers along with several part loads of good quality steers weighing 600-750 lbs all selling on and active market to start the new year. Slaughter cows sold firm to 2.00 higher.
