Kentucky Goat Prices 40-60 lb. Selection 2 Graded Sales and Tel-O-Auctions 2004 Price per lb. 2005 2003

2004 Kentucky Goat Prices 40-60 lb. Selection # 1-2 Graded vs. Non-Graded KY Markets Price per head
Goat Price Summary • Nationally, prices have been increasing in the past three years • Kentucky graded sales prices have been increasing relative to national prices; • Demand for all meats has been strong and is probably one of the factors behind strong prices • Buyers anticipate continued strong prices, perhaps better for 2006; a weak economy could cause a modest drop in prices • Profitability for “efficient” production systems is good
Poultry Market Overview • Low feed costs, high prices over past two years encouraged expansion; • Exports strong (up 12 % in 2005) on weak dollar; • Avian Influenza – U.S. bans lifted, China & Thailand still out of fresh market
Key Future Market Factors • Exports to Russia and new markets; • Competition from Brazil – passed U.S. in 2004; • Dark meat value up, breast meat prices down • Feed costs
