Paris (Thursday), Kentucky

Compared to last Thursday the feeder market was mostly stronger with a good quality offering. Feeder steers 400 lbs and under were sharply higher with strong demand, while the 500-650 lbs steers were 3.00 to 4.00 lower with a good supply and good demand. Feeder heifers 550 lbs and under were 6.00 to 10.00 higher or greater in spots with strong demand, while heifers 600 lbs and over were mostly steady. Buyers were active today and willing to pay premiums for weaned and harder conditioned calves, while discounting fatter bawling calves and increasing the price spread in most weight classes. Slaughter cows were 2.00 to 3.00 lower with a good supply and slaughter bulls were steady with good demand.
