Current goat receipts 1.

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were about steady, while bulls were 1.00 to 2.00 higher. There were too few comparable feeder cattle to establish an adequate market comparison, however a generally higher undertone was noted. Demand was moderate; market activity and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were fairly light. Cattle quality was average. Baby calves ranged 25.00 to 75.00 per head.

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.
