As filed

As compared to the last market: feeder calves sold steady. Slaughter cattle sold high as I have ever seen, 5.00-10.00 higher. Top cow brought (1.96) that is smoking.

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.
