Current hog receipts 4.

There were too few comparable cattle the previous week to establish an adequate market comparison, however, a lower undertone was noted for slaughter cattle, while feeder cattle had a higher undertone. Demand was good; market activity and buyer interest were active. Offerings of cattle were mostly moderate. Cattle quality was average.
