Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers sold 4.00 to 8.00 lower with instances to sharply lower. Yearling steers and heifers were trending firm with limited comparable receipts. Demand was mostly moderate throughout the week with best interest for long weaned and pre-conditioned packages and groups which were in good demand. Reporters cite the unseasonably warm temperatures and high humidity as contributing to the weaker overall demand for feeder calves. Slaughter cows and bulls were unevenly steady with reports ranging from 2.00 lower to 2.00 higher showing good demand for all 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.
