Throughout the week, feeder steers and heifers showed widely mixed but generally firm trends. Lighter-weight cattle were sharply higher early in the week before weakening by Thursday while mid- and heavier-weight feeders were mostly steady to moderately higher with good demand. Yearlings remained steady with limited comparisons. Slaughter cows and bulls showed a consistent downward trend across most reporting days, selling 3.00 to 10.00 lower with plain quality offerings, light tests, and variable supply. A few early-week reports noted steady to slightly higher movement. Overall, demand for feeder cattle remained moderate to good despite variable offerings, while slaughter classes saw moderate demand amid mostly declining prices.

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.

Feeder Cattle — prices, barns, and planning

Fed Cattle — the cash market and what quality pays

Beef & Retail — from the box to the grocery shelf

Feed & Hay — the cost side, cash not futures

Cows & Bred Stock — the rebuild market
