As filed

Compared to last week: Feeders steers sold unevenly steady to 3.00 lower on cattle over 400 pounds. Feeder heifers sold steady to 3.00 lower. Slaughter cows sold steady to 1.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold 6.00 higher, but there was a light test this week. Replacement cattle and weaned cattle were in high demand today. Quality was average to good, and buyer participation was good to strong.

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.
