As filed

Compared to last week, boning type slaughter cows were 1.00 to 2.00 higher, while breaking type were steady to 1.00 lower and slaughter bulls were 2.00 to 3.00 lower. Feeder steers were mostly 4.00 to 5.00 lower; heifers and feeder bulls had too few comparable head to the previous sale to establish an adequate market comparison. Demand was light; market activity and buyer interest were slow. Offerings of cattle were mostly moderate. Cattle quality was very plain.

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.
