As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold mostly 5.00 to 10.00 higher with several offerings of weaned and value added cattle bring premiums. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs sold mostly 5.00 to 10.00 higher, again with several offerings of weaned and value added animals. Heifers 500 lb to 650 lb sold 2.00 to 5.00 lower, over 650 lbs were not well tested. Slaughter bulls were steady. No trend on the slaughter cow market is available due to slaughter cows not reported last week, however strong demand was noted. Supply was heavy and demand was good.

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.
