Kentucky Weekly Livestock Summary for the week of Mar 6-12, 2015.
Receipts This Week Last Week Last Year
18,548 12,728 28,030
Compared to last week, Steer Calves sold mostly 4.00 to 6.00 higher and
Heifers mostly 3.00 to 5.00 higher except 400 to 600 lbs Steers and Heifer
Calves which were sharply higher. Yearling Steers and Heifers sold steady to
2.00 higher with a limited comparison available. Demand was good to very good
for a good to very good quality offering. Weather conditions were a bit back to
normal for most of the week, allowing those snowbound to move their cattle.
However, steady rain and rapid snow melt are creating heavy mud and threaten
area wide flooding with many rivers and creeks cresting above flood stage early
next week.
Slaughter Cows and Slaughter Bulls sold steady to 2.00 lower with moderate to
good demand.
Supply: Slaughter Cows 5 percent; Slaughter Bulls 1 percent; Feeder cattle 92
percent. In the feeder supply, Steers made up approximately 46 percent and
Heifers approximately 40 percent. Steers and Heifers over 600 lbs totaled
approximately 63 percent. Replacement cattle 2 percent.
