Kentucky Weekly Livestock Summary for 16 through 22 August 2013
Receipts This Week Last Week Last Year
23,064 20,949 20,815
Compared to last week: Steer calves sold 3.00-5.00 higher; Heifer calves 1.00-3.00
higher. Feeder Steers 1.00-3.00 higher; Feeder Heifers steady to 2.00 higher.
Demand good for steers; moderate to good for heifers. Grain prices remain under
pressure while the beef complex has seen favorable price trends as the final push
for holiday grilling is under way. This week's session began with an ideo/Internet
sale at Bluegrass Stockyards in Lexington which offered over 10,000 head of cattle
from Kentucky and surrounding states. In step with current price trends the sale
was a great success and included many reputation calf crops for Fall delivery and
reputation Feeders for nearby delivery. While the sale was good from opening to
close an impressive sale of 165 steers 935 lbs for current delivery brought
$150.50/cwt standing in Virginia was certainly noteworthy.
Slaughter Cows and Bulls leveled off this week and sold mostly steady.
Supply: Slaughter Cows 9 percent; Slaughter Bulls 3 percent; Feeder cattle 86
percent. In the feeder supply, Steers made up approximately 41 percent and
Heifers approximately 37 percent. Steers and Heifers over 600 lbs totaled
approximately 55 percent. Replacement cattle 2 percent.
