Compared to two weeks ago: Stocker steers under 500 lb sold 2.00 to 8.00 lower. Feeder steers over 500 lb were 3.00 to 8.00 lower. Stocker heifers under 500 lb sold 3.00 to 10.00 lower. Feeder heifers over 500 lb were steady to 4.00 lower. Slaughter cows sold 10.00 to 12.00 lower. Slaughter bulls sold steady to 5.00 lower. Extreme heat and dry conditions in the area created a heavy supply of cattle offered today with some noticeable discounts on the fleshy unweaned calves, badhair on cattle also carried a pretty heavy discount.

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.
