As filed

Compared to last week, feeder receipts too few to trend, but a lower undertone and lower-quality offerings were noted. Slaughter cows sold 3.00 to 8.00 higher overall with slaughter bulls steady.

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