Mt. Sterling, Kentucky

Compared to last Wednesday the feeder market was spotty with an average quality offering. Feeder steers 600 lbs and under were steady to 6.00 lower in spots with a limited supply and good demand for weaned and harder conditioned calves. Feeder heifers 600 lbs and under were steady to 6.00 higher or greater in spots with a moderate supply and good demand. Buyers were active today and willing to pay premiums for specific weights and groups, however the increasing supply of fatter new crop calves are limiting some buyers interest and increasing the price spreads in most weight classes. Slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 higher with a good supply and slaughter bulls were steady with good demand.
