Kentucky cattle producers celebrate May as Beef Month From Madison Pergrem Frankfort, KY - Kentucky cattle producers and industry representatives joined Kentucky Commissioner of Agriculture Jonathan Shell Monday as he signed a proclamation commemorating the month of May as Kentucky Beef Month. "With 907,000 head of beef cattle in the Commonwealth, Kentucky remains the state with the largest beef inventory east of the Mississippi River," Commissioner Shell said. "We retain that title with the hard work of our cattle farmers. I ask that Kentuckians join me in recognizing their effort, diligence, and perseverance as we celebrate May as Kentucky Beef Month." The top five Kentucky counties for number of beef cattle are:
January 2024 numbers for beef cows are up 1.3 percent from 2023. Last year's lower numbers were mainly due to a combination of widespread drought in 2022, high production costs, and high cull cow prices. The impacts of combined issues resulted in large decreases in beef cow numbers nationally and on a state level. 2023 saw a rebound from the issues of 2022 showcasing the value of this sector and indicating the state's cattle industry is still a major contributor to the state's overall economy. In 2023, Kentucky produced approximately 705 million pounds of beef valued at $1.23 billion. Beef cattle sales accounted for approximately $1.26 billion in cash receipts to Kentucky producers in 2023 and gross income of $1.28 billion. Cattle cash receipts rank fifth among Kentucky commodities and account for 13 percent of an estimated $8 billion in ag cash receipts for 2023. This story was posted on 2024-05-07 09:22:31
