As filed

Current goat receipts 4.

Compared to last week, breaking type slaughter cows were 3.00 to 4.00 higher, boning type slaughter cows were 1.00 to 2.00 higher, and slaughter bulls were 5.00 to 6.00 higher. There were too few comparable feeder steers to establish an adequate market comparison; heifers were mixed, 2.00 lower to mostly 6.00 higher; and feeder bulls were mostly 2.00 to 9.00 higher. Demand, market activity, and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were mostly moderate. Cattle quality was average.

This sale against other markets

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.
