Kentucky Weekly Livestock Summary for January 18 thru January 24, 2013
Receipts This Week Last Week Last Year
19,302 21,847 26,147
Supply: Slaughter Cows 10 percent; Slaughter Bulls 3 percent; Feeder cattle 85
percent. In the feeder supply, Steers made up approximately 42 percent and
Heifers approximately 37 percent. Steers and Heifers over 600 lbs totaled
approximately 53 percent. Replacement cattle 2 percent.
Steers and Heifers were mostly 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Demand moderate as
prices move lower. A number of factors pressuring prices this week. Boxed Beef
continues to struggle seasonally in the cold months and the closing of a large
packing plant in Texas was announced late last week. This triggered lower
futures prices and resulted in a lower fed cattle market last week. Lower price
levels and cold temperatures more an incentive for producers to stay home.
Slaughter Cows and Bulls were mostly steady to 2.00 higher.
