Cull cow prices were a relative bright spot in 2020 and they have started 2021 on a solid path. Seasonal peak usually occurs in late spring or early summer. Source: USDA Ag Mktg Service #KYCattleMarkets

Not a pretty picture, but the last 3 weeks have been very telling with respect to the impact of rising corn price on heavy feeders in KY. Source: USDA Ag Mktg Service

Should be a great program if you’re in the Noble County area. Before anyone asks-shirt sleeves are optional per the station manager.

Yesterday’s travels - My flatland Ohio friends who think I live in “the south” have never seen this sign. Turn right and 35 miles to Ashland, KY. #740

Usually don't do this but...CenturyLink you have major issues. #Terrible customer service, 3 weeks with no internet, 4 hours wasted on the phone with your "technicians" and then to think I'm going to pay a service call fee. I'd switch providers if there were any other options.

If you choose to “buy local” beef I think that’s great. If you also spread false information about the quality and safety of beef in grocery stores sourced through larger packing facilities, just know that you are hurting the same ranchers you claim to support.

USDA's Annual Cattle Inventory Report estimated total cattle and calves down 3% from 2022. Jan 1 beef cow inventory was estimated down 3.5%, after a downward revision to 2022 (see chart below). This puts beef cow numbers below 2014 and the lowest since 1962. Source: National Agricultural Statistics Service
