As filed

Compared to a light test two weeks ago, not enough comparisons of steers and heifers for an accurate price trend. Demand moderate, supply moderate to light. A near pot load of hard, weaned heifers grab Buyers interest, selling sharply higher. A winter weather Advisory, Flood Advisory in effect for the trade area, limiting sale receipts. Rain continues adding to already muddy conditions. A cold front will move into southwest Missouri taking temperatures into the teens and below zero wind chill.
