Mt. Sterling, Kentucky

Compared to last Wednesday both the feeder and slaughter markets were stronger with a limited but high quality offering. Feeder steers 300-600 lbs were 3.00 to 8.00 higher or greater in spots with a moderate supply and strong demand for weaned packages and groups. Feeder heifers 400 lbs and under appeared steady with a light test, while the 500-600 lbs heifers were sharply higher with strong demand for high quality and value added females. Slaughter cows were mostly steady for the leans, while the heavier conditioned high dressing cows were sharply higher with a limited supply and strong demand. Slaughter bulls appeared stronger with a light test.
