Current hog receipts 2.

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were 1.00 to 2.00 higher, while bulls were 5.00 to 6.00 higher. There were too few comparable feeder steers to establish an adequate market comparison; heifers were mostly 2.00 to 4.00 lower; and feeder bulls were 2.00 to 5.00 lower. Demand was moderate; market activity and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were heavy. Cattle quality was average.

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.
