Moderate demand with active market activity. Moderate offerings with quality of cattle plain to average. 1 goat and 6 hogs in sale and baby calves 5.00-40.00.

How this sale compares

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