As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were 1.00 lower and bulls were 1.00-2.00 higher. Feeder steers 2.00-4.00 higher, heifers and bulls too few to compare. Moderate demand with active market activity. Moderate offerings with quality of cattle plain to average. 1 goat and 6 hogs in sale and baby calves 5.00-40.00.

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