Kentucky cattle markets
Kentucky has a broad cow-calf industry based on pasture, with cattle production spread across the Bluegrass region and much of central, western, and eastern Kentucky. Many operations market weaned calves and feeder cattle through local livestock auctions, and some retain cattle for backgrounding on grass and stored forage. Spring and fall calving seasons both occur, creating marketing activity around weaning periods. Fall calf runs are a familiar feature of the state's auction markets.
Kentucky cattle market commentary
Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold unevenly steady. Markets started the week with a higher undertone as many auctions reported feeder steers and heifers 4.00 to 8.00 higher, with instances of 12.00 to 14.00 higher on quality offerings. Demand was moderate to good, especially for yearling steers, weaned calves, and guaranteed open heifers. As the week progressed, markets lost momentum and turned lower following sharply lower feeder and live cattle futures. By week's end, feeder steers and heifers were mostly 5.00 to 12.00 lower with the greatest pressure noted on heavier weight cattle. Demand remained moderate to good but buyers became more selective, with discounts noted on fleshy and off-colored cattle. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly 2.00 to 8.00 lower for the week. Slaughter classes were generally steady to mixed early in the week before trending lower during the second half. Demand for slaughter cattle ranged from moderate to good.

About this data
These are auction sale prices reported by USDA Market News from livestock auctions across Kentucky, summarized weekly. Feeder cattle are quoted per hundredweight (cwt); breeding and replacement cattle are often quoted per head or per pair. Prices move with the futures market, feed costs, and demand, so confirm current values at your local auction.

Kentucky cattle price frequently asked questions
How much are feeder steers in Kentucky right now?
Feeder steer prices in Kentucky ran from about $220 to $710 per cwt this week, with lighter calves bringing more per hundredweight than heavy yearlings; feeder heifers ran about $165 to $538 per cwt. Prices are from the USDA weekly cattle auction summary for the week ending Oct 31, 2026. Exact prices depend on weight, frame, and quality, shown in the tables above.
Why do lighter cattle cost more per hundredweight?
Buyers usually pay a higher price per pound for lighter calves than for heavy yearlings, a pattern often called the price slide, because lighter cattle have more weight left to gain. That is why a 5-weight steer can post a higher per-cwt price than an 8-weight steer at the same auction.
How often are these cattle prices updated?
USDA Market News publishes Kentucky auction summaries weekly, and this page refreshes after each new report. Auction prices can change from week to week, so check the report date shown above.
