Mount Sterling Livestock Auction
Mount Sterling, KY
Market information provided by USDA
27 AUG '25
Compared to last Wednesday the feeder market was stronger with a good quality offering. Feeder steers and heifers 650 lbs and under were 6.00 to 10.00 higher or greater in several spots with a good supply and strong demand. Yearling cattle appeared sharply higher as well, but with limited head to head comparisons. Recent gains in the feeder cattle futures market and cooler weather conditions is increasing cattle movement and the premiums buyers are willing to pay for quality feeder cattle. Slaughter cows appeared 1.00 to 3.00 higher with a light test last week, and slaughter bulls were steady with a good supply of slaughter animals this week and buyers showing good demand.
