As filed

Compared to last week: Stocker and feeder steers sold steady to 2.00 higher. Stocker and feeder heifers sold mostly steady. Slaughter cows sold steady to 4.00 higher. Slaughter bulls were not well tested. Several quality consignments of pre/vac and weaned cattle that sold at a premium. Supply was moderate with good demand for quality, weaker demand for plain and fleshy new crop calves.

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.
