Compared to close last week: not enough comparable sale of any one class to establish a market trend. However, feeder and stocker cattle had a lower undertone with slaughter cattle exhibiting a higher undertone. Limited auction receipts mainly due to wet, muddy environmental conditions which continue to place a damper on livestock movement. Additionally, the continued market volatility has most producers and stakeholders at a wait and see period.

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
Source: USDA AMS, as filed — nothing recomputed and nothing rounded. This summary aggregates the same sales the Arkansas barn reports cover, so it must never be added to a state total built from those barns.
