As filed

Current hog receipts 1.

Compared to last week, breaking type slaughter cows were 4.00 to 5.00 higher and boning type slaughter cows were 2.00 to 3.00 higher; there were too few comparable slaughter bulls the previous sale to establish an adequate market comparison. Feeder cattle were mostly 2.00 to 8.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good; market activity and buyer interest were moderate to active. Offerings of cattle were moderate. Cattle quality was mostly average. Holstein baby calves ranged 10.00 to 25.00 per head.
