Frankfort, KY Wed Apr, 29 2026 Bluegrass Stockyard - Mt. Sterling, KY Weighted Average Report for 4/29/2026 Current Previous Year Ago —————————— —————————— —————————— Total 364 429 486 Feeder Cattle 265 344 389 Replacement Cattle 51 39 61 Slaughter Cattle 48 46 36 Compared to last Wednesday the feeder market was spotty with an average quality offering. Feeder steers and heifers 600 lbs and under were steady to 6.00 lower or greater in spots with a good supply and moderate demand. Yearling steers appeared stronger with a good supply, but limited head to head comparisons. Feeder buyers were active today, but the growing supply of heavier conditioned calves on the market is limiting some buyers interest and the premiums they are willing to pay. Slaughter cows and bulls were steady with a good supply and good demand.
