Current goat receipts 2.

Compared to last week, slaughter cattle were 1.00 to 3.00 higher. There were too few feeder cattle to establish an adequate market comparison, however a lower undertone was noted. Demand, market activity, and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were light due to inclement weather. Cattle quality was mostly average.

32 sales

Bulls 0–100 lb: high $216.84, low $175.92, median $202.53 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
