Kentucky Weekly Livestock Summary for 22 through 28 March, 2013
Receipts This Week Last Week Last Year
15,061 19,290 22,986
Compared to last week: Feeder Steers and Heifers 3.00-5.00 higher. Steer calves
mostly 3.00-5.00 lower. Heifer calves mostly steady to 3.00 lower. Demand good
for feeders; moderate for calves. Lower feedlot placements in February published
in the Cattle on Feed report aided cattle futures early in the week and helped
move finished cattle prices 3.00 higher. Lower grain futures were also supportive;
with USDA projecting the most acres of Corn and Soybean plantings since 1936. Calf
prices remained stagnant as cool and wet weather continues to keep local interest
at bay and many barns noting plain quality offerings for calves.
Slaughter Cows and bulls mostly steady.
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 56 percent. Replacement cattle 2 percent.
