As filed

Compared to last Thursday the feeder market was uneven to mostly lower, with a softer undertone noted on a mostly plainer quality offering. Feeder steers 300-350 lbs were sharply lower, while 400 lbs and over were steady to 4.00 higher with good demand. Feeder heifers were 4.00-10.00 lower across the weight classes, and in some spots sharply lower, as heavy discounts were seen for quality and condition with moderate demand. Feeder bulls were mostly lower as well as buyers were selective with there purchase price. Premiums were seen for weaned packages, however heavy discounts were noted for fat bawling calves. Slaughter cows were 2.00 to 3.00 higher with a good supply, while slaughter bulls were 3.00 to 4.00 higher for high dressing bulls with good demand.

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.
