Compared to last Monday the feeder market was stronger with an average quality offering. Light weight feeder steers and heifers 350 lbs and under were sharply higher with a good supply and strong demand, while the 400-600 lbs cattle were steady to 4.00 higher with a good supply and good demand for weaned and value added packages. The yearling loads and groups were steady with a good supply and good demand, while the singles and smaller packages of yearlings were 2.00 to 3.00 lower. Buyers were active today and willing to pay premiums for weaned and value added packages, while increasing the discount on plainer, off colored, and bawling calves and widening the price spread in most weight classes. Slaughter cows were 2.00 to 4.00 lower with a good supply and moderate demand, while slaughter bulls were steady to 2.00 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.
