Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers were unevenly steady with instances of 2.00-3.00 higher to 2.00-3.00 lower. The most

advance and best demand was noted on lightweight feeder cattle under 500 pounds, with heavier cattle in moderate demand at best. Buyers

continue to show the most interest in long-weaned (45+ days), preconditioned feeder cattle to limit illness as much as possible. Slaughter

cows were mostly steady to 2.00 lower, and slaughter bulls were mostly steady.

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
Source: USDA AMS, as filed — nothing recomputed and nothing rounded. This summary aggregates the same sales the Kentucky barn reports cover, so it must never be added to a state total built from those barns.
