As filed

No price comparison available due to the market being closed the previous two weeks in observance of the Christmas Day and News Year's Day holidays. Demand was fairly good; market activity and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were fairly light. Cattle quality was average. Baby calves ranged 30.00 to 8.00 per head.

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.
