Blue Grass South Livestock Market, Stanford Kentucky
(Cattle weighed at time of sale)

Cattle Receipts: 180    Last week: 1105

Compared to Thursday’s sale, steer and heifer calves were not fully tested.  
Yearling steers and heifers were not tested.  The Labor Day holiday contributed 
to the low number of receipts. Slaughter cows and slaughter bulls sold mostly 
steady.
