Weighted Average Auction Report of Canton, Siler City, Turnersburg, Shelby, North
Wilkesboro, Norwood, Smithfield for the Week Ending Thursday Dec 1, 2016
Cattle Receipts: 4490 Last week: 1933 Last Year: 3040
Too few sales were held last week to determine an accurate market trend. Overall,
buyer interest was good and cattle were being sold at a moderate rate. Offerings were
heavier than normal due to sales being closed the previous week. Quality ranged from
plain to average. Slaughter cows made up 16 percent of the offering, slaughter bulls
2 percent, replacement cows 1 percent, other cows 0 percent, and feeders 80 percent.
The feeder supply included 32 percent steers, 38 percent heifers, and 30 percent
bulls. Near 22 percent of the run weighed over 600 lbs.
