Kentucky Weekly Livestock Summary for January 24-30, 2014
Receipts This Week Last Week Last Year
18,518 22,435 13,949
Compared to last week: Steers and Heifers mostly steady through most of the
session; Steers closed 4.00 to 6.00 higher; Heifers closed 3.00 to 5.00 higher.
Demand moderate beginning of the session and advanced to very good to close out
the week. Winter weather has wreaked havoc on the region with thawing and muddy
lots over the weekend to daytime highs in the teens and twenties Monday through
Wednesday, which slowed cattle movement. Temperatures throughout the month have
dictated cattle movements and have bottle necked many markets. Thursday brought
temps into the forties and like magic cattle flooded to town and were well
accepted.
Slaughter Cows and Bull buyers continue to live hand to mouth in the region and
as cattle came to market late in the week they pushed prices 3.00 to 5.00
higher.
Supply: Slaughter Cows 7 percent; Slaughter Bulls 1 percent; Feeder cattle 91
percent. In the feeder supply, Steers made up approximately 44 percent and
Heifers approximately 41 percent. Steers and Heifers over 600 lbs totaled
approximately 51 percent. Replacement cattle 1 percent.
