As filed

Compared to last week: Few comparisons to last weeks light run, however feeders across all ranges trended signifcantly higher with very high demand from buyers. Cattle under the 600 lb mark on both steers and heifers seemed to be the most in demand. Good weather and a heavy supply of value added and weaned cattle today that helped push the feeder market forward. There was one small offering of thin fleshed dried out steers at 407 lbs that topped the market at 4.10 cwt. Slaughter cows sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher and slaughter bulls had few comparable animals to last week.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $417.84, low $376.36, median $401.56 across 8 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

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.
