No trends available due to no sale last week because of winter weather. However, very good demand was shown for all feeder classes. There was moderate to good demand noted for slaughter classes.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $438.84, low $342.27, median $399.63 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

How this sale compares

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.
