As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows gauging 1.00 to 5.00 higher overall with slaughter bulls 7.00 to 10.00 higher. No comparisons available for feeder classes due to limited comparable receipts, but a higher undertone was noted for feeder bulls. Light receipts noted in response to the Easter holiday weekend.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
