As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold 10.00 to 14.00 higher. Feeder heifers sold 10.00 to 15.00 higher with some offerings as much as 20.00 higher. There was a large offering of value added and weaned cattle today that were selling at a premium with most buyer interest on these type cattle. Slaughter cows were 2.00 to 5.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold 1.00 to 4.00 higher. Supply was good and demand was much stronger than the previous week on all ranges of feeders.

How this sale compares

Arkansas weighted averages

One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Arkansas auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
