As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Stocker and feeder steers sold 5.00 to 12.00 lower. Stocker and feeder heifers sold 6.00 to 10.00 lower. Slaughter cows sold 8.00 to 10.00 lower. Slaughter bulls sold mostly 5.00 lower. Supply was moderate with weaker buyer demand on most classes of cattle fleshy and plain unweaned cattle had the largest discount while weaned cattle that were preconditioned sold at premium.

One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Arkansas auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
