As filed

Current hog receipts 7.

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were 2.00 to 3.00 lower, while slaughter bulls were 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Feeder steers and bulls were mostly 2.00 to 4.00 higher; there were too few comparable heifers the previous week to establish an adequate market comparison, however, a lower undertone was noted. Demand was good; market activity and buyer interest were active. Offerings of cattle were very heavy. Cattle quality was attractive.

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.
