The Kentucky Beef Network team works with beef cattle farmers to help them improve their animal health, genetics, forages, and marketing opportunities to essentially enhance producer profitability. Kentucky has the largest inventory of beef cows, east of the Mississippi River. At 1.023 million head of cows that have calved as of January 2011, Kentucky ranks 8th among the United States.
Most of the cattle in our state reside in the central and western regions. The map below demonstrates the distribution of Kentucky's beef cows.
