As filed

Compared to last Thursday the feeder market was lower on a mostly plain quality offering. Feeder steers and heifers were 4.00 to 10.00 lower across the board and had some spots of sharply lower as the market reacted to the futures market. The falling futures market caused LARGE discounts in the market, as buyers were extremely picky and discounted off color, heavy conditioned, or bawling calves severely and with a very selective demand. The slaughter cows were mostly steady to 1.00 lower with good supply and slaughter bulls were steady 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.
