As filed

Compared to last Thursday the feeder market was mostly lower with an average quality offering. Feeder steers 500-600 lbs were steady to 8.00 higher, while the rest of the weight breaks were 2.00 to 8.00 lower or greater in a few spots. Feeder heifers followed a similar path with most weight classes being 3.00 to 6.00 lower. However there were a few spots sharply lower as buyers showed limited interest due mostly to current weather conditions in the west and locally forecasted conditions. The slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 lower with a good supply and slaughter bulls were steady to 3.00 higher with good demand.

This sale against other markets

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.
