As filed

Compared to last Thursday the market was STRONGER with a good supply of good quality cattle. Feeder steers were SHARPLY HIGHER across the board, as buyers were willing to pay large premiums for good quality packages of calves and yearlings. Feeder heifers followed a similar path and were 8.00 to sharply higher across the weight breaks with good demand for weaned and guaranteed open heifers. Slaughter cows were 1.00 to 3.00 higher with a 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.
