Success StorySouthern Kentucky Heifer Sale



Southern Kentucky Heifer Sale

Author: Colby Guffey

Planning Unit: Clinton County CES

Major Program: Beef

Plan of Work: Livestock, Poultry & Crops

Outcome: Initial Outcome

In early 2017 a group of local cattle producers became interested in developing a special bred heifer sale. The group saw a need for a local sale due to the lack of heifer sales in the area and producers having bred heifers to offer, through on-farm sales. The Agriculture Agents in Clinton and Cumberland Counties, as well as a representative of the Kentucky Beef Network and the local stockyards began meeting with the sale committee made up of local producers. Monthly meetings were held to develop sale guidelines and requirements and to screen cattle to be consigned. The sale was held in Albany, KY at the local stockyards on November 10th with 107 head consigned and a full house of possible buyers in the sale area. Consignors were glad to have a local sale, and although cattle prices were down, consignors deemed it a success and are looking forward to the 2018 sale.
