This amplified sea-
sonal pattern has cre-
ated many challenges
for Kentucky's beef
producers. Spring
caners have faced a
much softer fall mar-
ket for weaned calves
pretty strong in the
first quarter. In years
when hay is plenti-
ful and feedstuffs are
reasonably cheap, put-
ting additional weight
on calves and keeping
them through the first
of the year may prove
to be more profitable.

and a shaky economy
continued to pull the
feeder market down.
However, there were
some positive signs at
auction barns in the fi-
nal week of the month
suggesting that we
may have made our
bottom a little earlier
this year. Another pos-
itive note was that the
third round of CWT
dairy herd retirements
only appears to have
removed about 26,000
dairy cows. This was
five years, our typical
seasonal patterns have
remained, but the price
swings from month-to-
month have been con-
siderably wider. From
2004 to 2008, the price
difference in the fall
and spring markets
has been nearly double
the long term average.

grams. The difference
has been so large, that
many spring calvers
have started looking at
fall calving with new
interest. It has also
created challenges for
summer grazers who
purchase calves in the
spring and sell them in
the fall, as their buy /
sell margins have also
suffered.
For spring calvers
who precondition
calves, hanging on
to thosecalves a bit
longer may be worth
consideration. From
2004-2008, the calf
market made its low in
December, but rallied
of early November,
many producers had
considerable fescue
left to graze and had
the option to purchase
hay and commodity
feeds at more attrac-
tive prices than last
year. I would encour-
age backgrounders to
work through a break-
even and determine if
it would make sense to
purchase light stockers
this fall and sell heavi-
er feeders come late
spring or early sum-
mer. As producers, we
can't change price pat-
terns, but we can look
for ways to capitalize
on them.
