The Arkansas weekly livestock auction summary indicated receipts of 6,992 head of cattle selling the period of Oct. 11 to 17, compared to 9,480 head the previous reporting period, according to the USDA-Arkansas Department of Agriculture Market News, Little Rock, Arkansas.

Compared to the close the previous week, the feeder and stocker steers were mostly selling $2 to $5 lower. The feeder and stocker heifers were steady to $4 lower. The slaughter cows were selling $3 to $5 lower. The slaughter bulls were mostly steady. Two Friday auctions on Oct. 11 were not published and accounted for due to market news transitions to another server, so receipts were lighter reported than the previous week. The supply included 85% feeder cattle with 35% steers, 0% were dairy steers, 42% were heifers and 23% were bulls); 11% was slaughter cattle with 83% cows and 17% were bulls; and 4% was replacement cattle with 34% stock cows, 53% were bred cows, 0% were bred heifers and 13% were cow-calf pairs.
