As filed

Compared to last week: Very light offerings due to heavy rains in area. Not enough of any class to establish a trend.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

Slaughter cattle

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.
