Kentucky Weekly Livestock Summary for March 7-13, 2014
Receipts This Week Last Week Last Year
28,030 7,837 25,392
Compared to last week: True price comparison not available due to light
receipts last week caused by winter storm, but a higher undertone noted.
Some late week sales with enough comparable receipts quoting up to 10.00
higher on calves 300-500 lbs fresh off the cow. Demand very good for all
classes. Receipts ebb and flow with the weather, this week brought sunny
skies and glimpses of spring-like temperatures, a welcomed break from
a nasty winter. More favorable temps and the hope of spring brought many
stockers and backgrounders to town to set in for spring inventories, which
pushed calf prices higher and is continuing to draw many calves off the
cow at lighter weights. While warmer temperatures have been enjoyable,
forecast calling for accumulating snow over the weekend and into next week.
Slaughter Cows and Bulls 3.00-5.00 higher. Demand very good.
Supply: Slaughter Cows 8 percent; Slaughter Bulls 1 percent; Feeder cattle 89
percent. In the feeder supply, Steers made up approximately 39 percent and
Heifers approximately 37 percent. Steers and Heifers over 600 lbs totaled
approximately 44 percent. Replacement cattle 2 percent.
