Current hog receipts 4.

Compared to two weeks ago, breaking type slaughter cows were steady to 1.00 lower, boning type slaughter cows were 2.00 to 3.00 lower, while slaughter bulls were steady to 1.00 higher. Feeder steers were mostly 3.00 to 5.00 lower; heifers were unevenly steady; and there were too few feeder bulls the previous sale to establish an adequate market comparison. Demand was moderate; market activity and buyer

interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were moderate. Cattle quality was plain to average.
