Compared to last report: Market trend not established due to limited comparable sale receipts. However, a mixed undertone was noted on all classes depending on the auction location plus the type and kind of cattle. Demand moderate to good. Limited receipts at some locations due to much needed rain and muddy conditions put a damper on livestock movement.

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
Source: USDA AMS, as filed — nothing recomputed and nothing rounded. This summary aggregates the same sales the Arkansas barn reports cover, so it must never be added to a state total built from those barns.
