Mo. Rev. Stat. § 271.090

If the property so taken up be appraised at seven dollars or more, the associate circuit judge shall, within ten days thereafter, file in the office of the clerk of the county commission a copy of the entries in his stray book. The clerk shall record the same in a book kept for that purpose; provided, that all animals taken up at one time shall be included in one certificate, and the total appraisement thereof shall govern the action of the associate circuit judge in complying with this section.
