As filed

Current hog receipts 5.

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were 2.00 to 3.00 higher, while slaughter bulls were 4.00 to 5.00 higher. Feeder steers were mostly steady to 5.00 higher on a light test, while heifers and feeder bulls were unevenly steady. Demand was good; market activity and buyer interest were active. Offerings of cattle were fairly heavy. Cattle quality was attractive.

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.
