Arkansas livestock sales summaryThe weekly summary of livestock sales in Arkansas for the week ending Sept. 4, showed estimated receipts of 3,165 head, compared to 7,253 head last week and 8,503 head last year, according to the Arkansas Extension Service-USDA Market News, Little Rock, Ark. Compared to last week, slaughter cows sold steady to $1 lower. Slaughter bulls sold steady to $2 lower. Feeders sold somewhat unevenly this week, mostly steady to $2 lower. Hurricane Gustav blasted through Louisiana and found a home in Arkansas this week. Rain fall totals are still incomplete but several areas of the state received more than 10 inches. Major flooding has occurred and power outages have left over 100,000 in the dark. The storm caused some markets to close and hampered livestock movement curtailing receipts at others.
