Kentucky Weekly Livestock Summary for February 7-13, 2014
Receipts This Week Last Week Last Year
16,780 14,969 22,537
Compared to last week: Steer and Heifer calves sold 5.00-10.00 higher;
Feeder Steers and Heifers 3.00-5.00 higher, after opening the session
steady. Demand ranged from moderate to very good. Cold weather continues
to complicate logistics and movement of cattle. For the 3rd consecutive
week weather systems and precipitation move in early in the week,
hindering receipts and demand early on. By mid session, sunshine and
warmer temperatures (mid 30's F) along with favorable market conditions
brought cattle to town, which were met with good to very good demand.
Effects of sustained subnormal temperatures is visible in the cattle
with even the highest quality of cattle lacking the usual bloom; resulting
in offerings in thin to average flesh.
Slaughter Cows and Bulls 2.00-3.00 higher; demand very good. Short
numbers, inconsistent flow of cattle due to winter weather across the
country continues to support Slaughter Cow and Bull prices.
Supply: Slaughter Cows 8 percent; Slaughter Bulls 1 percent; Feeder cattle 90
percent. In the feeder supply, Steers made up approximately 44 percent and
Heifers approximately 38 percent. Steers and Heifers over 600 lbs totaled
approximately 54 percent. Replacement cattle 1 percent.
