As filed

Current goat receipts 1.

Compared to last week, slaughter cattle were steady to 2.00 higher. Four-weight feeder steers and four- and five-weight feeder heifers were mostly 10.00 to 11.00 lower; six-weight feeder heifers were 1.00 to 6.00 higher; four-weight feeder bulls were 1.00 to 6.00 higher, while five-weights were 1.00 to 3.00 lower; there were too few comparable five- and six weight feeder steers and six-weight feeder bulls to establish an adequate market comparison. Demand, market activity, and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were mostly moderate. Cattle quality was plain to average.
