As filed

Friday's auction was a Special Bred Cow/Heifer sale with a nice quality offering of bred heifers in the 2nd and 3rd stage, along with several consignments of good quality young bred cows mostly 3-5 yrs of age in the 2nd stage all selling with moderate to good demand. Feeder supply was mostly made up of small packages and mostly singles and lightly tested. Slaughter cows on a large offering sold steady. This will be the last sale for the year at Eastern Mo. Commission, Wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
