Feeder cattle traded sharply lower across most classes, pressured by futures declines and weather-related movement issues. Yearlings were mostly 6.00-15.00 lower, with plainer cattle sharply discounted. Calf trends were limited due to light receipts, while select weight groups showed uneven but occasionally stronger demand. Slaughter cows and bulls were generally 6.00-12.00 lower on moderate 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.
