As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold unevenly steady to 7.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 450 pounds sold steady to 5.00 lower, and heifers over 500 pounds sold 2.00- 6.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-6.00 higher. There was a light test on slaughter bulls, so no trend on slaughter bulls. Buyer participation was very active, and quality of cattle was average to 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.
