Kentucky Weekly Livestock Summary for 8 March through 14 March, 2013
Receipts This Week Last Week Last Year
25,392 14,633 24,797
Compared to last week: Feeder Steers and Heifers 2.00-4.00 lower. Steer and
Heifer calves sold uneven. Demand light to moderate for feeders, moderate for
calves on heavier supplies relative to recent weeks. Pressure this week stems
from lower futures markets and continued losses in the Feedlot sector. Strength
in spots for lightweight calves as some local accounts prepare for Spring grazing.
Slaughter Cows and Bulls were 2.00 to 3.00 higher with good demand. Enhanced
competition within the state continues to support the Cow and Bull prices.
