Current hog receipts 15.

Compared to last week, boning type slaughter cows were steady to 1.00 higher, while slaughter bulls were 1.00 to 2.00 lower; there were too few breaking type slaughter cows to establish an adequate market comparison. Feeder steers were mostly 1.00 to 2.00 lower; heifers were unevenly steady; while feeder bulls were mostly steady to 4.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good, very good for attractive cattle; market activity and buyer interest were active. Offerings of cattle were moderate. Cattle quality was average with some attractive. Baby calves (11 head) ranged 30.00 to 70.00 per head.
