Compared to last week, feeder cattle were unevenly steady with instances of 4.00 higher to 4.00 lower throughout the week, with notable interest and advance on cattle weighing under 550 lbs. The unsteady stock market and concern over national and global issues played a significant role in this week’s market activity, and long-weaned and preconditioned feeder cattle remain in the best demand by order buyers. Slaughter cows and bulls were mostly steady to 3.00 higher with good demand.

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.
