Feeder steers and heifers at Lake Cumberland Livestock in Somerset, Kentucky, sold $2 to $6 lower for the week ending November 7, with some groups down more sharply. Receipts totaled 838 head, below both the prior week and the year-earlier session; slaughter cows were steady and slaughter bulls were lower.
Lower feeder prices signal softer bids for animals entering the feeding sector, potentially easing feedlot replacement costs. The smaller sale volume may temper the significance of the price move.
