Current goat receipts 20.

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were 1.00 to 2.00 higher, while slaughter bulls were steady to 1.00 lower. There were too few comparable feeder steers to establish an adequate market comparison, however, a sharply higher undertone was noted; feeder heifers were mostly steady to 5.00 higher; and feeder bulls were 9.00 to 10.00 higher with some 14.00 to 15.00 higher. Demand was good; market activity and buyer interest were active. Offerings of cattle were fairly light. Cattle quality was average to attractive. Baby calves ranged 10.00 to 20.00 per head.
