As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold mostly steady. Feeder heifers traded 6.00-8.00 higher. The overall feeder quality was better today and the demand was stronger especially on the feeder heifers. A lower quality offering slaughter offering resulted in cows selling unevenly steady and slaughter bulls were 6.00-8.00 lower.

Kentucky weighted averages
One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Kentucky auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
