Due to severe winter weather throughout the state which led to halted livestock movement and caused several market closings, all classes of feeder cattle were too lightly tested for a comparison to last week. However, a mostly steady undertone was noted. Slaughter cows and bulls were also lightly tested but a higher undertone was prevalent throughout last week’s offerings.

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.
