Current goat receipts 4.

Compared to last week, slaughter cattle were mostly steady. Feeder cattle were mostly steady with lighter weight calves 8.00 to 12.00 lower. Demand was fairly light; market activity and buyer interest were fairly slow. Offerings of cattle were moderate. Cattle quality was plain. Baby calves ranged 5.00 to 27.50 per head.
