Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers were unevenly steady with instances of 3.00 higher to 3.00 lower. Significant rain and seasonal temperatures this week created cold and muddy conditions, which drives buyers to continue to show the most interest in long-weaned, preconditioned feeder cattle as health concerns are imminent, especially in freshly weaned calves. Slaughter cows were mostly steady, and slaughter bulls were mostly steady to 1.00 higher with mostly moderate demand for slaughter classes.

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.
