As filed

Current goat receipts 2.

Compared to last week, slaughter cattle were 1.00 to 3.00 higher. There were too few feeder cattle to establish an adequate market comparison, however a lower undertone was noted. Demand, market activity, and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were light due to inclement weather. Cattle quality was mostly average.
