Current hogs receipts 3.

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were 3.00 to 4.00 higher, while bulls were steady to 1.00 lower. There were too few comparable feeder cattle to establish an adequate market comparison, however, a higher undertone was noted. Demand was moderate; market activity and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were mostly moderate. Cattle quality was average.
