Kentucky Cattle

at KYcattle.com

Kentucky, the largest cattle producing state east of the Mississippi River, is home to over 1.1 million beef cows and ranks 5th nationally in total number of farms. Three-fourths of Kentucky's cows are on farms with fewer than 100 head. The Kentucky Cattlemen's Association, has 93 chapters in 120 counties and is a strong voice for the state's 40,000 + cattle producers. KCA's mission is to provide a strong, proactive voice for all of Kentucky's Beef Farm Families, serve as a resource for information and education for producers, consumers and the industry and be a catalyst for enhancing producer profitability. In 2005 Kentucky began registering farms with premises numbers for the National Animal Identification program. A 'premises' is the geographically unique location in which agricultural animals are raised, held or boarded including farms, feedyards, ranches, auction barns, and fair sites.   These are a few of the topics being discussed on our Forum.

Re: cow/calf operation vs stockers Re: New Operation Cattle Today Articles about the production of beef cattle and livestock. PROTECTING YOUNG BUCKS INCREASES HERD POTENTIAL Mississippi State University research has found that protecting young bucks improves herd health and creates a better hunting experience. GRID PREMIUMS SHOW BENEFITS OF VALUE-BASED MARKETING When you get a bonus on grid cattle, sometimes it's easier to count your blessings than to ask why. AUGUST PORK AND BEEF EXPORTS DOWN FROM 2008 While selected markets performed very well, the global pace of U.S. pork and beef exports lost ground in August compared to 2008, according to statistics released by USDA and compiled by the U.S. Meat Export Federation. BEEF INDUSTRY NEEDS MORE FEED-EFFICIENCY DATA Feed accounts for 65 percent to 80 percent of total beef-production costs. With grain prices at their highest levels ever, finding a way to lower those costs is important to cattle producers. DEMAND FOR CAB HAS HELD UP WELL When times are lean, sales of luxury items are typically the first to fall off. However, when it comes to beef, it appears that consumer demand for the higher quality and pricier Certified Angus Beef ® (CAB®) brand held up better than that for USDA Choice or lower grade beef. RESEARCH PAPER LOOKS AT UPSWING IN QUALITY GRADES Three years ago, a 30-year decline in beef quality grades was apparent, with only half of fed cattle grading USDA Choice. The Choice/Select spread hit record highs in 2006, but today the picture is much different. July figures show 60.1 percent of the harvest mix graded Choice the first half of this year, but why? SECOND ANNUAL DUCK RIVER ANGUS CLASSIC HELD OCTOBER 17 The Second Annual Duck River Angus Classic was held October 17, 2009 in Columbia, Tenn. AS COWS EAT, SO GROW THE CALVES Your cowherd checklist might look pretty sparse after the calves are weaned and rebreeding is confirmed. Maybe the cows regained some condition and they're coasting now on crop residue. Next item would be, what, calving?
