Good day, had a good offering of feeder calves today. As compared to the last market feeder calves were 10-15 higher and slaughter cows and bulls were steady.

How this sale compares

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