Price Comparisons • Lighter cattle (4-5 wt) sold at a higher premium than heavier cattle ($8.09 vs $5.02) • This trend started last year • Western KY sales heavier cattle sold at a premium to light cattle ($3.15 vs $5.36)

Recent History • Estimated net returns in the fall have averaged $48.04 per head since 1993. • Taken at one sale on one class of cattle • Positive net returns 15 out of the last 17 years. • Case study data has consistently been higher
Summary • Numbers have dropped • Drought, market conditions, PVP??? • Some sites are struggling with small sales • Price advantages increased slightly • Some sites have potential for growth
Challenges • Maintaining numbers • Making PVP easier • Producer apathy • South Central KY
On a Positive Note • Profitability is returning to cow-calf producers • Calf prices are higher • Feed costs are relatively lower?
ITS PVP • Certifies the source and age of feeder cattle thereby making them potentially eligible for the export market • Japan requires documented auditable records to ensure beef imported from the US came from cattle less than 21 months of age
ITS PVP vs Aginfolink • ITS certifies cattle not the producer • ITS is a KY based company • ITS requires a phone audit for each group of cattle certified • ITS can issue EID/CPH-45 tags • New after October 1, 2010 - $25 fee per group certified
