As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Stocker and feeder steers sold mostly 5.00 higher. Stocker and feeder heifers sold 3.00 to 6.00 higher. Slaughter cow sold 3.00 to 6.00 higher. Slaughter bulls steady on a light test. Supply was moderate with good buyer demand. Several quality consignments of value added cattle offered that sold at a premium while fleshy and plain sold discounted.

Arkansas weighted averages
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.
