As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers and heifers sold unevenly steady. Feeder bulls sold mostly 3.00 to 10.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold mostly 5.00 to 10.00 lower but a much plainer run of cows were on hand compared to 2 weeks ago. Slaughter bulls sold steady. Quality was anywhere from very plain to attractive. Demand was moderate.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Mississippi auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
