Kentucky Weekly Livestock Summary for the week of Sep 12-17, 2016.
Receipts This Week Last Week Last Year
18,280 7,770 22,384
Compared to last week comparisons are limited due to the Labor Day holiday
and limited receipts in the previous week, however, feeder cattle were mostly
2.00-8.00 lower with the greatest demand noted for weaned and vaccinated
cattle in good health and condition. Light demand noted for off-colored
cattle as well as unweaned and unvaccinated feeder cattle as we progress into
fall and begin to experience warm days and cooler nights which can lead to a
higher chance of health issues. Slaughter cows and bulls were mostly steady
to 4.00 lower with light demand noted. Corn harvest is in full swing for many
throughout the region and much needed rainfall fell throughout parts of
Central and Eastern Kentucky on Saturday. Some optimism occurred late in the
week as the CME live and feeder cattle futures had a three day rally, with
live cattle closing on Friday at 107.87, up 92 points and feeder cattle at
133.25, up 1.55 on the October contract.
In the feeder supply, steers made up approximately 42 percent, while
steers and heifers over 600 lbs totaled 34 percent.
